Chapter 11 [This is Gu Tianya's first determination]
While talking, the two turned over the reed mat, slowly wrapped the body of Ah Yao's mother, and quietly parked it in the right place of this thatched hut.
At this time, the blind man said again: "According to the rules, filial piety should be observed for three days, but everything in the poor house is simple, let's not let Ayao be tossed, keep the spirit tonight for one night, and go to the funeral tomorrow." ”
Gu Tianya nodded solemnly, and said in a deep voice: "That's what I mean, don't let A-Yao be tossed again, blind man, it's up to you to work hard tonight to help take care of you here overnight." ”
The old man smiled and said, "This is my errand, needless to say." ”
After a pause, his cloudy eyes turned to Gu Tianya, and he suddenly asked, "What about the place?" Neither of them has any land. ”
What he said was a bit clueless, but Gu Tianya's face was instantly full of embarrassment.
The woman was confused as she watched from the sidelines, and couldn't help but whisper, "Where is it?" What is no field? ”
Gu Tianya sighed and said with a little sadness: "If you want to be buried, you have to have a place to dig a pit." The tomb is to occupy an area, but Ah Yao's family has no land......"
There was a pause. Slowly, he said, "I don't have any land at home." ”
Only then did the woman understand why the blind man would say that the two families had no land.
There is no field, but the tomb must be dug, and where to dig it, you can only dig it in other people's places.
Don't look like the world is big, in fact, there is a great lack of real ownerless places, the so-called three mountains, six rivers and one field, even if it is a barren mountain and a wild ridge, it also has a home.
The poor are really pitiful, and they don't even have a place to bury themselves when they die. (Author's words: Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, had no place to bury his father when he died, and he couldn't even afford a reed mat, so he could only use the door panel to carry his father's body around blindly, and finally a landlord was kind and rewarded a corner of land for the Zhu family to make a grave)
Gu Tianya hesitated for a long time, and finally seemed to have made a decision, and said in a deep voice: "I'll go to Sun's house tomorrow." ”
Whether it is fields and ditches, or barren mountains and mountains in this area, as long as it is a place where people can set foot, it is the property of the Sun family.
The blind man was silent, and suddenly sighed for a long time, and said, "The land of the Sun family is not easy to beg." You have begged many times before, and each time you have been reprimanded, what is the final result, you are not obediently paying for it. A small tomb only occupies a lot of land, and they will at least ask you to owe you at least 200 yuan, and you can only sell it for 500 yuan if you weave a reed mat......"
Gu Tianya's face was full of determination, and he said again in a deep voice: "Then buy it again, it's a big deal to owe an extra account." ”
The woman's eyes flickered on the side, and she suddenly gently tugged at Gu Tianya's sleeve and asked softly, "Do you owe a lot of debts to others?" ”
Gu Tianya didn't answer, but the blind man opened his mouth suddenly, and said: "This kid has a good heart, every time someone in the village dies, he helps, once he helps, he wants to help from beginning to end, the people in the village are poor and can't afford to dig graves, so he goes to the Sun family and carries all the debts." ”
The woman looked at Gu Tianya in a daze.
Gu Tianya slowly exhaled, as if to justify himself: "I am the only male in the village. ”
I'm the only man in the village!
I have to take care of everything for the lonely people in the village.
He seems to be justifying himself, but in fact his eyes are full of determination.
……
Suddenly, a warm little hand was handed over and grabbed his hand, through an inexplicable tenderness.
Gu Tianya was stunned, and subconsciously wanted to withdraw his hand, but the other party suddenly used force and grabbed his hand.
He was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but look down.
But seeing that the woman also happened to look up at her, there was an indescribable doting between her eyes, Gu Tianya just wanted to speak, but the woman had already interrupted him.
I just heard her say: "Do you know, in this world, there are countless fields, and there are countless money, fields can grow grain, money can make families rich, so if you have land and money, you can be rich and rich, but whether it is land or money, it is not as precious as another thing in the world, what is it?" It's called Quan. ”
She paused here and then said: "You have a good heart, in order to take care of the poor in the village and let yourself struggle all day long, this is good, but it is not good, people like you, you can't see the poor in your eyes, once you see it, you want to help, but there are too many poor people in the world, if you keep helping you, you are afraid that you will die of exhaustion, because your ability is too small, because the power you can use is too small." ”
She didn't wait for Gu Tianya to speak, and said again: "A good man, when you run rampant in the world, you can't have no land at home, you can't have no money in your pocket, but it doesn't matter if you have money and land, what really matters is to hold the power." ”
Her tirade was clearly trying to instill something into Gu Tianya.
It's a pity that Gu Tianya is also very resolute, and said in a deep voice: "I said, there are worries about the future, this world is too difficult, and the entire Hebei Province is even more chaotic, if I seek what you said, I will inevitably devote myself to all kinds of battles, once I fight with people, there will inevitably be enemies, people do things, before thinking about victory, what should I do if I fail, what if the enemy pursues revenge at home, I will ask you, who will take care of my mother at that time?" ”
What he said is also very reasonable.
It's not so much a reason as a worry.
However, the woman suddenly smiled, and her pretty face suddenly bloomed heroic, but seeing her leisurely hand, the other small hand forcibly pulled Gu Tianya out of the house, and then, a man and a woman stood tall in the wind and snow, and the woman looked up at the sky, and said in a leisurely tone: "As long as I live for a day, you don't have to worry about anything behind you." ”
Gu Tianya finally got rid of her little hand, and reminded in a cold voice: "Your personality is extremely unstable, and you have to seek death and life at every turn, what if you return to the family and quarrel with your relatives again in the future, what if you jump into the river to seek death?" Don't talk about taking care of my mother, I'm afraid that my mother will have to collect your body. ”
His words tasted a little cold, but the woman's face was calm.
In the wind and snow, I saw that she was still looking up at the sky, and suddenly spoke again, as if muttering: "In this life, I will not be stupid enough to seek death again." ”
Turning his head suddenly, he looked at Gu Tianya with deep meaning, and asked faintly, "Good nephew, are you willing to help your aunt fight for the family property?" Or, in other words, to keep my share of the property......"
Hold on to your share of the property?
Gu Tianya frowned slightly.
……
……
He has a firm heart and will not be persuaded casually, the reason why he nests in the small village is because he is worried about his wife, so even if the woman has already put away the words, he will not give any reply for a while.
The so-called answer is a choice, once a man has a choice, he has to go forward with all his might.
He was silent, hoping to make 'Auntie' understand in this way, but Auntie's next sentence made Gu Tianya suddenly become thoughtful.
And, heart-pounding.
I only heard the woman say slowly: "Whether it is Hebei Province, Shanxi and Shandong, or even the entire Central Plains, and the homeland of the Sui Dynasty, after all, it will not be a constant ......."
This sentence made Gu Tianya's mind like Huang Zhong Dalu.
Although the world is difficult and the world is chaotic, there is still a day when the source is traced.
He subconsciously spoke, as if he had a feeling, and muttered, "My mother once told me some stories......
The woman's gaze couldn't help but look at him.
But when he saw Gu Tianya's sudden smile, he seemed to suddenly become high-spirited, and said loudly: "My mother once said that the general trend of the world will be together for a long time, haha, it will be together for a long time." Thank you, Auntie, you made me suddenly figure out my mother's teachings! ”
The general trend of the world will be united for a long time, and once it is combined, it will become peaceful.
If the world is peaceful, he will naturally have less worries.
Why not go out of the village to struggle at that time? Earn money and produce a little grain!
Let the old lady enjoy the blessings, and no longer eat bran vegetables, so that the poor and lonely widows in this village will never be worried about burying themselves after death......
This is the first time Gu Tianya has made up his mind.
It can only be regarded as a very small ambition.
However, the woman smiled.
……
At that time, during the Tang Dynasty Wude period, an eighteen-year-old boy was awakened by a woman's words, and he was determined to make money.
It's really a very small ambition!
