Chapter 1 Stranger in a Lonely Village
August of the ninth year of Datang Tianbao, Shuzhou, Jiannan Road, under Qingcheng Mountain, Shiqiao Village.
At noon, the sound of birds and cicadas echoing in the silent valley is more and more depressing when the verdant mountains and forests are accompanied by the chirping of birds and cicadas.
Under a large locust tree on the mountain road at the entrance of the village, seven or eight villagers gathered in the shade of the tree, staring solemnly at a thatched hut not far away, their eyes in awe and excitement.
A merchant carrying a load of goods walked slowly from the end of the mountain road, and when he saw the villagers gathered under the big locust tree, the merchant cleared his throat and shouted loudly.
"Millet rice for cloth heads, clay pots, needles and threads......"
As soon as the words fell, a villager shouted: "You turtle shout a hammer!" Climb away for Lao Tzu. ”
The merchant suddenly looked like a rooster that was crowing and suddenly was choked by the neck, and his stomach was suffocated with shouting words, and his neck was red.
No one paid attention to him, and the attention of seven or eight villagers was all focused on the shabby and dilapidated hut not far away.
The merchant went south and north, he was familiar with the villages and countryside near Qingcheng Mountain, and even he could remember the name and appearance of each villager, he carried the goods every day, and exchanged some small objects such as pottery pots, cloth heads, needles and threads with the villagers of various villages for food, and over the years, many villagers became friends with him.
The seven or eight villager merchants in front of him naturally knew each other, and they didn't mind being reprimanded by the villagers, and seeing that everyone's eyes were still staring at the thatched hut, the merchant came up curiously and whispered in a sneaky tone: "What are you looking at?" ”
No one paid any attention to him.
The merchant still doesn't mind, no matter how small the trader is, he is very thick-skinned, used to being ignored and ignored for many years, and has learned to give himself a warm hug.
Squinting at the ordinary thatched hut, the merchant frowned and said, "Huh? Isn't that the Gu family's house? Is the Gu family's baby a child? ”
A villager really couldn't stand the nagging of the merchant, and explained angrily: "There is only one baby left in the Gu family, Gu Qing was timid and afraid of things, and he didn't dare to let go of a ...... when he was bullied."
The merchant nodded again and again: "That's right, I remember that baby, too honest, anyone can bully him, several times I have seen the baby in your village chasing him and beating him, causing evil." ”
The villagers sneered: "Gu Qing is honest? That was yesterday ago. ”
"Oh? What's the idea? ”
"Yesterday afternoon, Gu Qing didn't know what to do, suddenly his temperament changed greatly, Ding Erlang, the little overlord of our village, chased and beat him, Gu Qing ran while hiding, accidentally tripped and fell, his head hit a big stone, he bled a lot, he lay on the ground for a long time without moving, and it didn't take long for him to get up, and then the whole person changed......"
The merchant was curious: "What has become of him?" ”
"He became like a rabbit who was forced to be anxious, and chased Ding Erlang in turn, first grabbed a handful of sand and fascinated Ding Erlang's eyes, and then rode on him, punch after punch, hitting Ding Erlang crying dad and calling mother, and then Ding Erlang begged for mercy, Gu Qing stopped, and it was not over yet, Gu Qing first asked him if he was convinced, Ding Erlang's face was beaten into a pig's head, naturally he didn't dare to disagree, this is not over, Gu Qing forced him to shout two strange words, after Ding Erlang shouted, Gu Qing let him go......"
The merchant asked with interest, "Which two words?" ”
The villagers squinted at him, sneering to hide their embarrassment at not hearing those two words clearly.
The merchant smiled dryly, looked around and said, "Then so many of you people gathered here today to stare at Gu Qing's house, is there anything else to watch?" ”
The villagers looked around sneakily, lowered their voices, and said: "The two brothers of the Ding family, Da Lang and Erlang, are famous bullies in our village, and they are unreasonable and stubborn. Da Lang was in the county town when Erlang was beaten yesterday, and he returned to the village at noon today to learn that his brother was beaten, how could Da Lang swallow this breath? Just now, Da Lang spoke, vowing to avenge his brother, looking at this scene, I guess the excitement is coming......"
As he was talking, there was a sudden burst of people in the southwest corner of the village, and a burly man walked to the Gu family's thatched hut first, followed by a short boy with a blue nose and swollen face, these two were obviously the two brothers of the Ding family.
The two brothers were separated by two feet, and a group of villagers who watched the excitement were far away, afraid of the obscenity of the two brothers, but it was a pity not to see such a big excitement, so like a group of criminal gangs targeting their prey, they sneakily followed all the way.
Under the big locust tree, villager A sighed worriedly: "Today, the Gu family's baby is afraid that it will not be pleased, Ding Dalang is notoriously ruthless, and there are several fellow villagers who were abolished in his hands back then......"
As soon as the words fell, Ding Dalang in front of him was already standing in front of the thatched hut, pointing to the weak firewood and began to scold.
"Gu Qing, come out honestly and suffer death! If I don't abolish you today, I'm sorry for my brother's beating! ”
The onlookers behind him immediately quieted down after a commotion.
The shabby hut still stood quietly in the scorching summer sun, the door of the hut was always closed, and there was no movement inside.
Ding Dalang paced back and forth in front of the firewood, his expression becoming more and more fierce, and his eyes were full of murderous intent in his eyes.
"Gu Qing, don't force me, take the initiative to come out by yourself, I can spare you to die, if I catch you, I will kill you!" Ding Dalang shouted hoarsely.
There was still no movement in the hut.
After a long time, when Ding Dalang became more and more impatient, the door of the thatched hut suddenly opened a crack, and a hand stretched out from the gap, the index finger went up, and hooked Ding Dalang outside the firewood, paused, and hooked again, and then an extremely provocative voice came from inside.
"Come here!"
The onlookers gasped and looked amazed, Ding Dalang looked stunned, and then he was furious, kicked open the firewood, and strode into the courtyard of the Gu family, with a cruel smile on his face.
"Okay, it's a man, if I don't abolish you today, I, Ding, He Yan, will have a foothold in Shiqiao Village, wait!"
Ding Erlang behind him saw his brother taking the lead, and hurriedly followed, the two brothers walked into the yard, just walked a few steps inside, the two brothers were suddenly stunned, felt strange under their feet, and then their faces changed greatly, and finally "oops" and "oops" twice, the two disappeared from the ground of the yard out of thin air.
Before the onlookers could react, they heard the terrible screams of the two Ding brothers. The bold villagers curiously stepped forward to take a look, and found that a big pit had been dug in the middle of the Gu family's courtyard at some point, and countless sharpened branches were inserted in the pit, and the pit surface was covered with straw and dust, which looked no different from the ordinary ground......
The sharpened wooden branch was stained with the blood of the Ding brothers, and fortunately, the wooden branch did not pierce their abdomen, but only pierced the soles of their feet, and the two of them fell into the pit halfway, trembling in pain, and screaming earth-shattering.
The faces of the onlookers also changed, the pit was newly dug, obviously after beating Ding Erlang yesterday, Gu Qing dug the pit in his yard with great foresight, and the pit was covered with sharpened wooden branches, and he waited at home for the revenge of the Ding brothers.
Whether those sharpened branches pierced the Ding brothers' abdomen or only pierced the soles of their feet obviously depended on the luck of the two brothers.
When did the Gu family's baby become so ruthless? What about the harmless Gu family baby in the past?
I don't know how long later, the crumbling door of the Gu family's thatched hut was gently opened, and out of it came a young man wearing a sackcloth shirt and bare feet, and the young man was still holding an arm-thick wooden stick in his hand, approaching the brothers of the Ding family and sneering.
"To borrow your original words, if I don't abolish you today, how can I, Gu Qing, gain a foothold in Shiqiao Village?"
When the words fell, the wooden stick in the hand of the young man was mixed with the whistling wind, and it swung fiercely at Ding Dalang, and after a miserable howl of inhumanism, one of Ding Dalang's arms drooped softly, obviously broken.
The young man raised the wooden stick again, and Ding Erlang was so frightened that he shouted at the top of his voice: "It's wasted! My two brothers are gone! Gu Qing, spare us this time, we will never dare to provoke you in the future! ”
Ding Dalang covered his broken arm, his face was pale, he gritted his teeth and said nothing, staring at the young man with resentful eyes.
The young man was thoughtful, then slowly put down the wooden stick and smiled at Ding Erlang, two rows of white teeth shining in the sun.
"Begging for mercy must have the sincerity to beg for mercy, Ding Erlang, how did you beg for mercy yesterday, give your brother a hint."
Under the big locust tree not far away, the lively villagers and merchants straightened up at the same time, and villager A said excitedly: "It's coming, it's coming!" I'm going to shout those two words again, look at them carefully, and I'll be insightful! ”
After a long silence, a heart-rending roar suddenly erupted in the sky above Shiqiao Village, and the words were full of blood and tears of forbearance and humiliation.
"Daddy—(Burst)"
…………
Although the hut is small, it can shelter from the wind and rain.
Gu Qing sat bored on the stone steps in front of the door, looking up at the blue sky in a daze.
The air is really good, and the sky is clean, but Gu Qing's mood is not very good.
Just now, he only waved a stick at Ding Dalang, his arm shook a little, and his body was weak to a certain level.
Sure enough, I still don't quite adapt to this new body.
There was a large water tank with a missing mouth next to the stone steps, Gu Qing turned his head and frowned at his reflection in the water tank.
"How did it grow like this? Tut! ”
The reflection in the water shimmers, and a young face is reflected on the surface of the water. At the age of seventeen or eighteen, it's not ugly, it's even a little handsome when you look at it twice, eyebrows, eyes, nose and lips, and your facial features have an indescribable handsomeness. I had a fight with Ding Erlang yesterday, and there are still some bruises and scars on my face, but the organs on my face are combined to form a very strange style, if you want to use one word to describe it, it is "unhappy" is the most appropriate.
There is an unhappy face growing in nature.
The eyes are blank, a pair of messy eyebrows are lazily lying above the eyes, the corners of the lips are drooping downward, and the handsomeness reveals a negative energy temperament of "the whole world owes me money but I don't pay it back, so I'm in a bad mood", anyone who sees this face can't help but feel that the world is not worth it. was dumped by different women more than eighteen times, and finally grew into this appearance from the heart.
Behind Gu Qing stood a young man named Song Gensheng, who stood quietly, rubbing the corners of his clothes with his hands, well-behaved and cramped.
According to his own introduction, he is Gu Qing's playmate from childhood to adulthood, and he is considered to be a small and iron-clad kind. This earthy and smoking name has a profound and distant allusion,—— Song Gensheng's father is called Song Gen, so he is called Song Gensheng.
That's how the wisdom of the working people is.
Gu Qing couldn't help but worry about the name of Song Gensheng's future child, thinking about it, he could only call it "Song Gen III" is the most appropriate, not only trouble-free, but also very rigorous recognition, as long as the IQ of the descendants can be counted from one to one hundred, theoretically the descendants of the Song family are still so clear and clear when they reach the 21st century.
However, if any generation of the Song family has the situation of today's son Li Longji and daughter-in-law Yang Yuhuan, the generation calculation will be more complicated......
