029. Earthquake sequelae
Gu Jiayi's first reaction was to open the window and jump out, but she suddenly thought of He Zhihao in the next room, he was injured in his foot, he was unable to move, and he definitely couldn't run fast, but she couldn't carry him on her back. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info This doesn't work, that doesn't work, how can this be good, no matter what, she won't leave He Zhihao alone.
The shaking continues. This house is the old house where He Zhihao's parents lived before, it was the top of the straw pile, and it was in disrepair, usually when the wind and rain were heavy, the roof would be overturned, not to mention such a violent shaking. Gu Jiayi is a person who has died once, to be honest, she is not afraid of death, and she has encountered a few earthquakes that are not very strong in her previous life, but at this moment, her mind is a mess, and she doesn't know what to do.
Suddenly, I heard a loud noise nearby, and the window of the house was smashed into a big hole by a large stone thrown in. He Zhihao's anxious face appeared outside the window.
"Don't come out yet!"
Gu Jiayi realized that the beams and columns above his head seemed to have a faint tendency to collapse. He Zhihao leaned half of his body in, grabbed Gu Jiayi, who was still in a daze, and dragged her out.
"What the hell is going on with you? Since you're awake, why don't you jump out of the window? Before Gu Jiayi came back to his senses, there was a loud shout from He Zhihao above his head.
"I ......" Gu Jiayi hadn't fully come to her senses, listening to the villagers who had escaped around her gather in groups to talk about it.
"Huh?" She suddenly felt a little strange, "Uncle, how did you come out, you can walk so fast even if your foot is injured?" ”
He Zhihao glanced at his feet wrapped in gauze, and his expression was suddenly a little confused, "It seems that I didn't go back at all, so where did I go?" ”
Gu Jiayi also flashed a trace of doubt, but still persuaded: "Uncle, since you have an injured foot, don't walk around these days." ”
He Zhihao didn't speak, but just looked at the top of Gu Jiayi's head, and his eyes gradually became heavy. She looked back and saw that the old straw house had collapsed and could no longer be inhabited. Fortunately, the house is surrounded by walls, and there is nothing of value.
Everyone's eyes were focused on He Zhihao and Gu Jiayi, full of sympathy and pity. Their house is more or less damaged, but it would be good to hire a craftsman or repair it yourself, like He Zhihao, the whole house has collapsed, maybe there are only a few in the entire Tuo Village, and on their side, there is only He Zhihao's family.
"Borrowed, borrowed."
There was a commotion in the crowd, and in a few moments there was the sound of crying.
Village Chief Hao had some impatience on his face to break away from the person who was pulling him, and the crowd automatically opened a way, he walked in front of He Zhihao, and looked at their house again.
"I'll report to the top and try to compensate you more." Village Chief Hao patted He Zhihao on the shoulder.
"Oh, village chief, my house is also very bad, do you want to give us more compensation?" A village woman who was pulling Village Chief Hao just now said sourly, and she didn't forget to squeeze two tears.
Her family is a wealthy family in the village, but she is a famous miser, she is usually small-minded, she likes to take advantage of small advantages, and she can't see anyone better than her, and she always likes to talk nonsense.
Village Chief Hao looked her up and down, and when the words came to his lips, his face changed slightly, and finally he just said slowly: "Ming'er will call a craftsman to go to your house to have a look." ”
The woman wanted to say something, but seeing that the village chief didn't want to pay attention to her at all, she couldn't help but snort coldly and retreated into the crowd. Then Village Chief Hao reassured everyone a few more words, saying that he would go to other places to see, so he left first.
"Sister Yi," Sister-in-law Niu came over and took her hand, "Why don't you come over tonight and spend the night." ”
Gu Jiayi nodded, looking at the slightly bright sky, it seemed that it was about to break, and after dawn, she had to rush to Rose City to advance thirty taels of silver.
Thinking of Qian Ji, she suddenly thought of one more thing, "Sister-in-law Niu, I'm afraid you can't sell your six catties of dried red dates......
Sister-in-law Niu was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "It's okay, I still have five catties there, I thought I would let you take some to the county seat to ask for a price first, since this kind of thing has happened, then take the five catties of red dates and sell them." ”
"Okay."
Gu Jiayi suddenly remembered one more thing, where did the jujube go? Just after the earthquake, I'm afraid it has been frightened, broke free from the reins and ran away, fortunately it's still small, and it didn't hurt anyone, but after all, it was raised for a few months, and it was lost in vain, and I still felt a little reluctant.
"It's better now, but it's just some aftershocks, so it shouldn't be a big deal. Sister Yi'er, let's go," Sister-in-law Niu said as she pulled her up, and suddenly said "Huh" again, "Where has Mr. gone?" You wait here for a while, and I'll look around. ”
Gu Jiayi looked around, He Zhihao's feet are inconvenient now, he shouldn't be able to go far, and everyone is here, just ask, someone should also see where He Zhihao went.
Sister-in-law Niu came back after asking, but she shook her head at Gu Jiayi in surprise, "They all said they didn't see Mr. ”
At this time, everyone got up and prepared to go home. Although Gu Jiayi was worried about He Zhihao, but sleepiness gradually came, looking at the sky, he could sleep for half an hour, so he had to say to Sister-in-law Niu: "Uncle won't go far, he should go to your house when he comes back, let's go back and rest first." ”
Sister-in-law Niu nodded helplessly, but she kept muttering about He Zhihao's weirdness on the road.
Gu Jiayi and Sister-in-law Niu slept in the same room. Sister-in-law Niu's husband has been gone for a few years, but she has been widowed for him at Niu's house. It is also strange to say, the folk customs of this dynasty are also open, unmarried women can give their favorite men gifts, and even chase men on the street, just like those crazy women in Rose City chasing Bo Lechen, but after getting married, there are many restrictions, and women who die do not remarry, which is a moral character that women must have in this dynasty.
When Gu Jiayi got up, Sister-in-law Niu was busy with breakfast. She scooped a scoop of water from the water tank to wash up, and was laughing with Sister-in-law Niu when Aunt Niu came over.
"Sister Yi'er, I have some embroidered patterns here, which are not exquisite, but I think they are not bad, I heard that some rich and noble people in the county just like these things, see if you can do the eldest mother a favor and sell them by the way?"
Gu Jiayi walked over and took her hand and said with a smile: "Aunt Niu, what you said is really out of sight. You've helped me and my uncle so much, won't I just help you sell dried dates and embroidery? This is as it should be, as it should be. ”
Breakfast was gruel and steamed buns. Niu Sange went to chop wood after eating, Niu Da Niang was busy to get embroidery, the village knows that Niu Da Niang embroidered a hand, not to mention, Niu Da Niang's craftsmanship is really worthy of its reputation, although the cloth and thread used are not of the highest quality, but the lifelike butterflies and delicate flowers, can completely make up for these shortcomings, not to mention that the stitches are rigorous and fine, at a glance you know that the embroidery people have a lot of skills, and they are so meticulous.
