Chapter 18: Where Did the Grandfather Appear?

"Ahh Liu's pig-like screams woke up the sleeping people in the compound. Following the prestige, I saw Liu grinning and inhaling cool air into his mouth.

Gu Qiao was smoked by his mother-in-law until he fell asleep in the middle of the night, and was woken up early in the morning, so angry that he stomped towards Liu: "Early in the morning, what kind of mourning are you howling!" ”

"You're in charge...... You ......" Liu Shi bared his tongue and spit out vague words, and his fat fingers pointed at Gu Qiao's head.

Only then did Gu Qiao notice a burst of pain on his forehead, and when he touched it with his hand, the pain made him almost fall into tears.

"Boss, you have three big abscesses on your head, and one of them is broken, and pus and blood are bleeding down!" Liu didn't care about the pain in his mouth, took out a handkerchief that couldn't be seen, and wiped the pus and blood on the man's head.

"Ahh Gu Qiao pushed Liu out of the way, "Don't touch it, you want to hurt me to death!" What's wrong with you? Did you burn your tongue from stealing something last night, why did you talk like this? ”

"I have a sore tongue and a sore throat! Can you help me see if I have fire sores in my mouth? As soon as Liu spoke, tears fell from his eyes. She hissed and inhaled, her mouth grown, and the man showed it to her.

The garlic has been fermented overnight, and Liu has no habit of brushing his teeth, the taste is comparable to that of a biochemical weapon. Gu Qiao was almost fainted by the unpleasant smell that rushed out.

He gasped when he saw Liu's red and swollen throat and festering tongue. This mother-in-law's internal fire is too big, right? It was all ulcerated in the mouth overnight, and there was hardly a good place on that tongue.

"Oops! Your tongue is rotten! Gu Qiao rushed out.

Liu's eyes widened, her tongue was numb with pain, and she could barely speak. She also wondered in her heart, even if she was on fire, it was impossible for her tongue to be full of fire sores overnight. What the hell is going on?

When the afterglow of her gaze swept to a petite figure, she suddenly froze as if she had been struck by lightning. Last night, Gu Ye's words circulated in her mind infinitely, "Scolding is to rotten the tongue", "Scolding is to rotten the tongue"......

remembered that before she became dumb, it was this girl who said "The gods will punish you", could it be that this girl is a troublemaker? At this moment, Gu Ye showed a gloomy smile at her, and Liu Shi shivered, and her scalp tingled.

Something is wrong with this girl! Something is very wrong!! Liu remembered that when she threw this girl on the mountain, she was out of breath. Besides, she threw people into a wolf-infested place, and it stands to reason that she would have been chewed to the point that there were no bones left. However, when everyone looked for it, this girl was in good spirits, as if she was all cured!!

Ever since she brought people back from the mountains, she hadn't felt good about anything. There's definitely something wrong with this girl, is it...... Possessed by a mountain spirit? Right! It must be!! This girl is no longer the original Gu Ye'er, she must have become a monster!! Liu's eyes were full of fear when he looked at Gu Ye.

Gu Qiao looked over along Liu's line of sight, saw the Gu Ming brothers and sisters, sighed and said, "Is there really a cycle of cause and effect, and we have all suffered retribution?" ”

At this time, people all worshiped ghosts and gods and stayed away. The fear in Liu's heart was deeply rooted, and on the way back, he avoided Gu Ye, fearing that she would suddenly show her true identity and eat herself.

Gu Ming, who was planning to fall out with her family, was shocked to find that the Liu family had stopped and didn't make any trouble. Gu Qiao's attitude towards their brother and sister has also changed slightly. Gu Ming's desire to split up was rejected by his father, and he promised him that he would never fight Gu Ye's idea again.

The credit of the two has gone bankrupt in Gu Ming's heart. However, the middle of winter is approaching, and now is indeed not the time to mention separation. In any case, we have to wait until we survive the long cold winter and make plans when the spring is warm.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the people in the village are busy collecting firewood and chopping firewood to ensure that they have enough firewood at home to survive the long winter.

Gu Ye followed his brother down from the mountain, carrying a small bundle of firewood on his back. After returning from the town, she found that the prey in the two traps had increased again. She was keenly aware that the prey had man-made wounds on its body, and it was clear that someone had hit the prey and thrown it into their trap.

Who is it? What is the purpose of that man? Gu Ye's heart was full of questions. However, doubts are doubts, and the prey is still accepted. Stew, stir-fry, braised and barbecued...... After eating, the brothers and sisters had ruddy faces and a lot of meat on their bodies.

Gu Ye looked in the mirror in the space, and was no longer frightened by the shadow in the mirror. With more open facial features, she is a beautiful little beauty!

"Gu Ming, go home and take a look! You're going to have more than one grandpa!! Li Hao ran on the uneven mountain road, like a vigorous antelope.

"What are you talking nonsense? My grandfather died a long time ago, where did another grandfather pop up? Gu Ming put down the Chai He on his back, who was almost taller than him, wiped the beads of sweat on his head, and glared at Li Hao.

Li Hao took his hand and ran towards the village, dragging it and saying, "I can't tell you for a while, just go and see." said that he had been on the battlefield and retreated with a lame. ”

"Wait a minute, my chai!" Gu Ming dropped her arm, unable to shake off Li Hao's hand, and was helplessly dragged by him in the direction of home, "Slow down, my sister is still behind......"

Gu Ye shook her head lightly, staring at the pile of firewood that was a block taller than her. This is the result of my brother's busy work for most of the day, I can't just let it go like this, if I am taken away by the greedy and cheap, won't it be in vain?

She put her bundle of firewood, which weighed a few pounds, on the ground, carefully looked to the left and right, and listened to the movement with her ears open, before carefully taking a bottle of "vigorous" potion from the space. This potion is blueberry-flavored, and it can stimulate a person's potential for a while, and the strength is ten times greater than normal, and there are no side effects. In the previous life, this potion could save lives, and the sales were very good.

After drinking the potion, she put the hill-like pyre on her back, and with a slight effort, the firewood rose off the ground. She still had one hand to spare, carrying her bundle of firewood, and went down the mountain easily.

The hidden guard left by Ling Juechen saw it, and his eyes widened: What did these brothers and sisters eat to grow up? Such a large bundle of firewood is difficult for adults to carry, but they have no difficulty carrying it. That boy is okay, the little girl that the master likes is so violent!

When Gu Ye carried the firewood home, the courtyard was full of people, and the patriarch of the Gu clan and several respected clan elders were also present. Most of the people in the courtyard were villagers from Qingshan Village she was familiar with, except for a strange old man.

Let's say that he is old, but he is not old, he looks like he is in his forties. The man was tall, and whenever he went to that station, he had the upright appearance of a soldier. He had gray hair, an unkempt beard, shabby clothes, a patched bag in his hand, and a crutch in the other to support his weight.

"Xiao Qi, what do you mean? Are you going to recognize me as a father? The man's voice was loud, and he spoke with a serious expression on his face, and his round eyes made his heart tremble slightly.

"That...... Fifth uncle, it's not a question of whether I admit it or not. At the beginning, my father and mother also talked about it verbally, and they did not change the family tree, so naturally it was not a real succession. Gu Qiao quietly looked at this distant clan uncle, his gaze swept over his tattered clothes, and finally stopped at the crutches he was holding.

When he came in just now, his steps were limping, and his movements were very difficult. I don't know how the hundred-mile mountain road came about. It's hard enough to have a home at home, and you can't afford to leave it at home anymore. Not many people know about what happened at the beginning, as long as he bites it to death and doesn't admit it, he will definitely not be able to make any tricks.

"Okay, you little seven!!" Gu Xiao had already expected such a result, and sneered, "Back then, foreign enemies came to invade on a large scale, and the imperial court recruited soldiers, and each household recruited two men and one. I'm the only one left in our room, and I'm supposed not to be conscripted. And in your room, there are two heirs, your uncle and your father. The eldest son is going to hold up the portal, and the conscription quota will fall on your father's head. Your father, greedy for life and afraid of death, begged me bitterly, saying that he had three young children to raise, and that he could not live without him as a laborer at home. Say that I am alone and have nothing to worry about, and if I am willing to join the army for him, he will pass you on to me! How? Are you ready to admit now? ”

"Fifth uncle, when you joined the army, I was only five years old, where do I remember so many things? My dad died for many years, and I never heard him say it. How do you make me recognize it? Gu Qiao showed a wry smile, his eyes wandered and he didn't dare to look at Gu Xiao.

"Old Seven, I know this! At the beginning, Brother Xiao was in a hurry, so he didn't open the ancestral hall to change the family tree. Your dad did pass you on to him! The patriarch said a word of justice.

This Gu Xiao is a distant relative of the Gu family in Qingshan Village, when he was less than ten years old, he followed his mother back here, and not long after his mother also fell ill and died, leaving him to go into the mountains to hunt for a living. When he was eighteen years old, the imperial court came to recruit soldiers, and he replaced Gu Qiao's father to join the army, and he was gone for twenty-five years. Over the years, the Gu clan has not received any news from him, and they thought that he died on the battlefield!

Liu's eyes rolled, and when she saw Gu Ming, her eyes lit up, and she said with a smile: "Fifth uncle, aren't you just afraid that your branch will break its roots here?" It is not impossible for us to make you an heir. But the stepchildren of others are all young, and they will be close to you after raising them for a long time. We are all thirty years old, and if we succeed others as heirs, won't we be laughed at? ”
