Chapter 17 The road is narrow
Looking at this cooking cake that was bigger than his head, Gu Ye secretly sighed in his heart that the ingredients used in this cooking cake were real. She broke the cooking cake in half from the middle, handed it to Gu Ming and said, "I'll have enough of these, and the remaining two will be kept as dry food on the way back." ”
Gu Ming has been looking for her sister for most of the day, and she is already so hungry that she is beating a drum. He gobbled down the bread and rolled his eyes.
Gu Ye developed the habit of chewing and swallowing slowly because of the bad stomach of the original owner, and when she saw that her brother choked, she hurriedly took out two copper plates from her arms: "Brother, there is a noodle soup seller over there, let's buy a bowl, there is soup and water, and it is hot when you drink it." ”
Gu Ming finally swallowed the bite of cake in her throat. Seeing the copper plate in my sister's hand, I asked in surprise, "Sister, where did you get the money?" It can't be stealing Liu's, right? That woman is the most slammer, you must know that if you steal her copper plate, you will definitely beat you to death! ”
Gu Ye rolled her arrogant eyes at him and said, "Who stole her money?" It's not that you don't know, that mother-in-law can't wait to sleep with a money jar, how can she give others the opportunity to steal money? This is the herb I picked, hidden on the back mountain to dry, and sold to the money shopkeeper yesterday for a few pennies. Walk! I'll treat you to noodle soup! ”
"Don't! Or don't go!! Look at this day, if you go out of the city now, you can't find a place to stay, it's very dangerous. With these copper plates, let's find a big car shop to rest overnight, it's better than sleeping on the street! "If he were alone, he would have found a sheltered bridge in one night. But my sister is weak, and the cold wind blows at night, what if she is sick?
As they were talking, their eyes darkened, and a piece of broken silver appeared in front of the brother and sister. When I looked up, it was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, dressed in an ice-blue satin robe, with a face like a crown of jade and eyes like stars. What a handsome boy! Gu Ye's starry eyes lit up, and an aunt's smile appeared on his lips!
"Uh...... This son, we are not beggars. Gu Ming's little self-esteem was hurt. Looking down at my sister and myself, dressed in shabby short clothes, squatting on the side of the road and nibbling on cakes, there was not much difference between the beggar leaning against the wall and basking in the sun. Nor is it to blame that some people threw money at them.
Chu Mubai was stunned for a moment because of the little girl's bright eyes, and couldn't help but praise in his heart: a pair of big clear black eyes, like deep pool water, clear and flawless. I wonder what his sister will look like, and will she have such a pair of excellent eyes?
"I know! Congratulations on finding your sister! To tell you the truth, my brother and I also came out to find my sister. However, we are not as lucky as you, and our sister doesn't know where she is! Chu Mubai's face showed a look of loneliness, "This piece of silver, you should be congratulated on finding your sister." How do you just nibble on a cake? Take it and buy your sister a bowl of wontons to eat! ”
"Thank you, little brother!" Gu Ye smiled and stretched out his little paw and took the ingot of broken silver, "Little brother, you are really a good person. Good people have good rewards, and you will definitely find your sister. ”
Chu Mubai looked at the little face in front of him, which was a little out of shape, and there was a moment of swaying, and the little face was a little familiar. For some reason, he inexplicably felt a sense of affection for her in his heart.
He must be looking for his sister to find the devil, and everyone feels like his sister. People have relatives and brothers, and they look like they are eight or nine years old. His sister is twelve years old, how can it be their family's treasure?
Looking at the back of the young man in Chinese clothes leaving, Gu Ming looked at his sister who was fiddling with broken silver, and stopped talking, and finally couldn't help but say, "Sister, how can we ask for other people's silver casually?" ”
"What's casual? People said, congratulations on the reunion of our brothers and sisters! Brother, they were almost sold into the flower building, and our brother and sister almost never saw each other again, shouldn't we be shocked? Gu Ye weighed the broken silver, thinking about whether to use a spring scale to weigh it. However, it seems that there are more than the fat tooth woman gave to Liu.
When Gu Ming heard this, her tears almost came down again, and she was reluctant to part with her sister's hand tightly. Where is the mind to care about silver and not silver?
The brother and sister shared a bowl of wontons, finished the cake in their hands, found a remote car shop to stay overnight, and set out on the road back to the village early the next morning.
On the way back, when I stayed in the big courtyard, I inevitably met Gu Qiao and Liu. Seeing the two people with blue noses and swollen faces, Gu Ye's heart blossomed. After Gu Ming showed a hint of surprise, she quickly regained her indifference. Those who have done bad deeds will be punished sooner or later.
Seeing Gu Ye, Liu pounced on him with a "whoop", screaming in his mouth: "It turned out that you were a broom star, who lost your conscience, so that your father and I were beaten up and robbed of silver!" I'll kill you evil spirit!! ”
Gu Ye deftly jumped to the side, and his toes gently hooked Liu's foot and neck. Liu's fat body fell heavily to the ground, and the ground seemed to tremble a few times.
"You're the one who has lost your conscience!! You tricked your sister into the town and sold her to people for money, and you are the most ruthless stepmother in the world!! I'm telling you, it's retribution for you being beaten!! Those who do bad deeds will be punished sooner or later!! ”
Gu Ming rushed over, stepped on Liu's hand fiercely, and stood in front of her sister, like an angry lion cub, although not strong but fearless.
The people who stayed in the compound were all simple mountain people, and when they heard this, they turned their accusatory eyes on the Liu family, who finally got up.
Liu Shi was busy quibbling: "You shut up for me!" I'm good for this cheap girl, think about it, if you are selected by a young lady from a big family to be a personal girl, it will fall into the nest of blessings. Not to mention the fragrant and spicy drinks, the monthly reward is enough for the family to eat and use for a whole year, and there is still a surplus! Hoarse is cheap, and you don't know how to enjoy it if you're blessed!! ”
"But...... I heard from the woman that she was going to sell me and a few other sisters to the kiln! Dad, what is the kiln? Is it the same as my mother said, I can eat and dress and have money to get? Gu Ye deliberately opened his pure and flawless eyes wide, and looked at Gu Qiao with a puzzled expression.
The angry eyes of the surrounding villagers made Gu Qiao's face hot, and he was stunned for a long time, not knowing how to speak.
Although Gu Ming didn't know what the "kiln" was, from the expression of the big guy, he guessed that it was definitely not a good place to go. He pulled his sister angrily and said, "Don't call her mother, she is not our mother, she is not worthy!" ”
"Why am I unworthy? I am married to your father Ming Media, you two unfilial stinky cubs, you have raised you for so many years, two white-eyed wolves, black-hearted goods......" Liu's mouth cursed endlessly, and everyone frowned when they heard it.
"Cursing is a bad tongue!!" When Gu Ye was tired of Liu Shi scolding and took a breath, he suddenly said clearly and loudly.
"You're a rotten tongue! You black-hearted money-loser, you are rotten from head to toe, rotten into a ball of blood, and even wolves don't want to chew it...... "If it weren't for this dead Nizi escaping, how could she suffer from that flesh and skin?" Thinking of the two taels of silver that were snatched back after getting it, Liu felt like someone had dug a piece of meat from his heart, and he was so painful that he couldn't wait to pounce on her and bite her a few bites.
"Brother, let her continue to scold! Do you remember, the last time she scolded us, she became dumb and couldn't speak for more than a month. It's really not a long memory!! Gu Ye pulled his brother, bypassed the Liu family from a distance, and walked towards the shed.
"Dead girl, you stop me! You are uneducated, and the elders talk to you, where are you going? Liu was so angry that he jumped up and stretched out his hand to grab Gu Ye.
Gu Ye took a step away, glanced at her coldly, and said, "Are you talking to me?" Which human words do you speak? I am uneducated, because I have a mother and no mother!! ”
"You black-hearted broom star, why don't you have a mother? The stepmother is also a mother!! Liu's sharp eyes saw a corner of cooking cake exposed in her arms, and unexpectedly stretched out* over, and said loudly, "Good guy, there is still something to eat." Your father and I haven't eaten all day, and I don't know how to honor my father and mother when I have something to eat, you two white-eyed wolves who have lost their conscience! ”
"Give it back to me, that's my brother and me's dry food tomorrow, give it back to me!!" When they went out of the city, the brother and sister bought two more cooking cakes as dry food, which Gu Ye carried in his arms, but actually put them into the space. Just now, she picked out a bottle of potion from the laboratory with her mind, added ingredients to a cooking cake, and deliberately showed it to Liu. Sure enough, the medicated cooking cake fell into Liu's hands.
Liu pushed her away, broke the cooking cake, handed the big one to the man's hand, and said, "Eat quickly!" Don't let the two little cubs snatch it! Fuck off, what's yours! Everything you have is given by your mother! If you make trouble again, see if the old lady beats you to death! ”
As she spoke, the woman opened her mouth wide and took a big bite on the cake. Not only the two taels of silver, but even the copper plates they were carrying were robbed by the two big hands of Ya Po, and the couple had the cheekiness to spend the night in the village outside the town last night, without a mouthful of dry food, and after a day's journey, they were already so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs.
"Sister, don't rob them, I still have two meat buns hidden in my back basket! Let's rest early, we have to hurry tomorrow! Gu Ming stopped her sister and whispered in her ear.
"Little girl, come, there are still two people to sleep here!" The shed was already crowded with the people who came first, and the innermost daughter-in-law, who was slightly blessed, squeezed her man to the side to make room for one person. She beckoned to the hard-working little siblings, her eyes full of sympathy.
"Thank you, auntie!" Although Gu Ye didn't like to huddle with others, there was really no empty space in the shed. In this late autumn weather, if you sleep outside, you must be freezing enough. Compared with the two, she had to resign herself to her fate and walked to the daughter-in-law of Nafutai.
Gu Ming knew that her sister didn't like to be next to strangers, so she let her lie in the innermost corner, blocking herself between her and others. Gu Qiao and Liu ate half of the cooking cake alone, and saw that they couldn't squeeze in the shed, so they had to find a sheltered corner in the courtyard, spread a layer of straw, and lean on each other to keep warm. When Liu ate the cake, he had garlic, and even his breath smelled of garlic, which made Gu Qiao nauseous.
They were all tired, and soon there was a snoring sound in the shed. Gu Ye lay on the ground covered with thick straw and glanced in the direction of Liu, revealing a condensed smile.
