"Little San, what's going on?" Gu Bei grabbed his hand and asked nervously.

Gu Xiaosan covered his head, only looked at tears, and did not answer.

"Little San, what's the matter with you, have you been bullied by someone?" Gu Bei grabbed Xiao San's hand and shook it vigorously, staring at him with burning eyes, and said word by word.

In the middle of the sound, Gu Bei let go of his hand, thought about it, and said in a deep voice: "Since you don't want to say it, then I won't ask." ”

He knew that since Xiao San didn't want to tell him, he didn't want him to join in, for fear that he would be bullied, and he also knew Xiao San's character, he usually seemed to be easy to talk, but once he got up, he was like a brute bull, and even he couldn't persuade him.

He just needs to know that Xiao San is for his good, it doesn't matter if Xiao San says it or not, he will investigate clearly, whoever bullied his brother, he will not let him go.

He remembered the scene in the depths of "Gu Bei's" memory, that winter, he was eight years old, three or seven years younger, when his mother disappeared not long ago, his father became ill because he missed his mother, and soon fell ill and died. One day, he was playing with Xiao San at the entrance of the village, when a group of children as old as him suddenly came, scolding his father for being useless, and his mother also ran away with the wild man. At that time, he had always been cowardly, and he had an argument with them, among which the leader of the little fat man, he knew, was the son of a rich man not far from Gujia Village, and beat him with a group of children, Xiao San, who was one year younger than him at the time, and Xiao San, who couldn't look at it, also rushed up to help him, but Xiao San was also beaten to the ground, and the two had a fist and kick, and since then his relationship with Xiao San has become better.

Although he is no longer the "Gu Bei" he used to be, thinking of this scene, he is still moved by Xiao San's behavior.

Gu Bei patted Xiao San and said, "I haven't eaten for a day, I'll go and ask someone to prepare something to eat for you." After speaking, he lifted the curtain with his hand and prepared to go out, when the sound of Xiao San's choking came from behind,

"Brother Xiaobei, I know you're back, I don't have a face..."Gu Bei stopped, turned around and came to the bed.

"It's okay, it's all over." Gu Bei comforted softly and said.

"You know what? After you left, I also looked for you, but I didn't find you..."Gu Xi choked up and said.

Gu Bei patted him on the shoulder to comfort him and didn't speak.

"I also know that Brother Xiaobei will definitely come back... Ahem, I wanted to save some money, so I went to the village not far from the rich man's house to help... But who would have thought..."Gu Xi coughed and said intermittently.

Gu Bei knew that Gu Rich was the father of the little fat man who beat him when he was a child, his full name was Gu Youqian, he was as his name suggested, he was the richest in Gujia Village, he had a lot of family resources, and there were a lot of good fields at home.

Gu Xi finished speaking one after another, and when Aunt Gu died, he cried loudly... Gu Bei comforted him and listened to him talk eloquently.

The crying in the room became smaller and smaller, until he couldn't hear the sound, Gu Bei saw that he was asleep, carefully helped him lie down, helped him cover the quilt, and walked out of the room with heavy steps with red eyes.

Gu Bei realized that after Xiao San saw him leave, he went to look for him everywhere, and after looking for a few days, there was still no news of him. As for the note he left, although he had taught Xiao San to read before, Xiao San had a headache when he saw the words, and gave up learning words.

After looking for a few days, he didn't find Gu Bei, and Xiao San didn't give up, he planned to go to Fucheng to look for it, because there was no entanglement on his body, he told Aunt Gu that he wanted to go to Gu's rich man's house to help, save some entanglements, and then go to Fucheng to find him. Originally, everything was fine, Xiao San got up early and worked in the dark, and it was about to be the time to issue the moon silver, when suddenly Aunt Gu fell ill, and there was no money at home to see the doctor. Gu Xi also knew the situation of the people in the village, and when he saw that Aunt Gu's condition was getting worse and worse, the helpless junior found the housekeeper of the rich man's house, told him about the situation, and wanted to pay the monthly money in advance to his mother to find a doctor to see a doctor, but was rejected by the housekeeper. The housekeeper was unmoved, saying that the deadline had not yet arrived, and he could not release the monthly money in advance, so he was blown out.

After Xiao San walked out of the Gu family's mansion, he walked towards home in despair, and met Gu Cheng in the village on the way, Gu Cheng saw that he was not in a good mental state, and asked the reason, Xiao San had no choice but to tell him. After Gu Cheng heard this, his eyes rolled to give him an idea, saying that he would vouch for Gu Xi, go and borrow some money from Steward Gu to cure the disease first, and wait for a few days to send the silver money to pay it back.

If you want to say that this Gu Cheng is not a good person, he is a famous pimp in Gujia Village, who has nothing to do all day long, either molesting women or bullying the village, and can be described as the number one lackey under the rich man Gu.

Gu Xi also knew that Gu Cheng's idea was not good, and seeing that his mother was getting seriously ill, he had no choice but to agree.

So under Gu Cheng's guarantee, he found Steward Gu to borrow one or two pieces of silver, and agreed to deduct it from the money, Steward Gu agreed, and Gu Xi went out of Gu's house to find a doctor in the county seat with nine hundred wen in his hand.

Why do you borrow one or two and get it for only 900 yuan? Because it was a loan shark, he returned three out of nine, borrowed one tael of silver, and got nine hundred wen, and when the time came, he would return one tael or three yuan, that is, one thousand three hundred wen. Gu Xi was helping in Gu Zhai, doing everything, and the silver money was only about one or two in a month, and when he signed the note, because Gu Xi was illiterate, Gu Cheng didn't tell him, so he left in a daze.

After Gu Xi looked at the doctor, he prescribed a few pairs of medicines, and after his mother took a few pairs of medicines, when she saw that she was about to get better after taking a few pairs of medicines, Gu Xi found that she had no money to catch the medicines.

Gu Xi couldn't find Steward Gu again and explain his intentions, Steward Gu readily agreed to him, and after pressing his handprint, he took the copper coin and ran to grab the medicine.

After eating like this for half a month, Gu Xi had no intention of going to work, taking care of his mother at home every day, and on this day he was feeding his mother medicine, Gu Cheng rushed into his yard with a group of people, muttering loudly and letting him come out.

After Gu Xi fed his mother medicine, he came to the courtyard, closed the door, and after asking the reason, he knew that they were here to collect debts, but he had not gone to work for half a month, where did he get the money to pay off the debts, Gu Xi whispered: "Isn't it not yet the deadline?" ”

Gu Cheng shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm sorry, I also follow the housekeeper's words, a total of one or two or six yuan, the housekeeper is righteous, because the deadline has not yet arrived, I will give you a penny, take it." ”

"Gu Cheng, you also know that I don't go to work every day now, can you... Wait, why one-two-and-a-half? Didn't I borrow a total of two taels of silver, and I only took one or two or eight cents? Isn't the previous one or two pieces of silver a monthly deduction? I know that there is interest, and that is also a tael of silver. Gu Xi looked at Gu Cheng and said in a low voice.

Gu Cheng and a group of splashes behind him suddenly burst into laughter, and after laughing, Gu Cheng said: "It's right to borrow two taels, but how can our housekeepers make a loss-making business, what is nine out of thirteen, that is, borrow one tael, get nine hundred wen, and return one or two or three dollars when the time comes." After speaking, he took out the IOU and shook it.

Gu Xi knew that he had been fooled, and he had long known that this Gu Cheng was not at ease, so he rushed up angrily and wanted to grab it back, but was kicked to the ground by the splash next to him.

Gu Cheng stepped forward and squatted down, patted his face with his hand, and said viciously: "Gu Xi, Gu Xi, you don't want to ask who I am, I actually dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head, believe it or not, the master will kill you." ”

Gu Xi's eyes erupted with fire, clenched his fists, and spat at him, "When the deadline for one or two pieces of silver is up, I will return it, if you want me to pay it back, it's impossible, if you have a kind, you'll kill me." ”

was spit on, Gu Cheng was not angry, wiped it with his sleeve, stood up, looked at Gu Xi condescendingly, and said gloomily: "Do you know what is written on the IOU?" It is written that if it is not returned when it expires, it will be mortgaged by the family's land, but there is your handprint on it, even if it is the government... Hey, hey...", laughed.

After Gu Xi heard this, he angrily kicked between Gu Cheng's legs, and Gu Cheng, who kicked directly, covered his crotch, jumped and jumped on the spot, shouting, "Hit, hit him for me, just keep your breath." ”
