Chapter 13: Can't Let Their Family Turn Over
Father Luo took more than a dozen young men to intercept Niu Erzhuang and Niu Sanzhuang's way.
Seeing that they were surrounded, Niu Erzhuang waved the wooden stick in his hand at the villagers indiscriminately, preventing the villagers from approaching, and threatened: "We are the Niu Tougou Niu family, there are more than 200 people in our Niu clan, all of them can fight, and those who are not afraid of death will come to arrest us!" ”
Luo's father's face was dark, he grabbed the wooden stick waved by Niu Erzhuang, pulled it hard, and after Niu Erzhuang was pulled over, he kicked Niu Erzhuang over, snatched Niu Erzhuang's wooden stick, and swept towards Niu Sanzhuang next to him.
With a bang, Niu Sanzhuang was knocked to the ground.
"Catch him." Luo's father confessed to more than a dozen young men, and he cut Niu Erzhuang's hands behind his back and pressed him to the ground.
The young men immediately stepped forward to grab Niu Sanzhuang and quickly subdued him.
Niu Dazhuang and Niu Xiaozhuang couldn't take care of the other Niu brothers, and the two ran desperately out of the mountain.
Gu Dafu, the son of the village chief, led the villagers to chase after them, but the two ran too fast and chased dozens of meters without catching up with them.
Gu Jinli had been into the mountains several times, knew the terrain in the mountains, took Luo Huiniang to take a shortcut to ambush, and when Niu Dazhuang and Niu Xiaozhuang came running, he hit Niu Dazhuang's calf with a wooden stick.
Bang!
Niu Dazhuang was hit, screamed, rolled around and lay on the ground.
Gu Jinli jumped out, held the wooden stick, and beat Niu Dazhuang all the way.
With the hatred that the original owner was beaten to death by the Niu brothers, she did it mercilessly, beating Niu Dazhuang to the point that her head was bleeding, and she didn't stop until Gu Dafu came with the villagers.
Niu Xiaozhuang was a selfish man, and when he saw Niu Dazhuang being knocked down, he didn't stop and ran out of the mountain frantically.
"Stop!" Luo Huiniang chased after her and shouted at Niu Xiaozhuang.
Niu Xiaozhuang grew up with several brothers, and he was also ruthless, seeing Luo Huiniang catching up, the big stone he had been holding in his hand smashed towards Luo Huiniang's head.
Luo Huiniang's head was tilted, narrowly dodging the stone, looking at the sharp stone that had pierced the ground, she became even more angry, grabbed the stone, and smashed it at Niu Xiaozhuang's back.
"Ahh Niu Xiaozhuang screamed and was knocked down by a stone.
Luo Huiniang ran over, clenched her fists and beat Niu Xiaozhuang all the time: "Let you fight small fish, let you grab food, let you grab water......"
Niu Xiaozhuang's eyes were fierce, he resisted desperately, grabbed Luo Huiniang's hand and bit him hard, Luo Huiniang's wrist was bitten and bloody, but he strangled Niu Xiaozhuang's neck with his arm to prevent Niu Xiaozhuang from escaping.
After a while, the villagers who arrived worked together to subdue Niu Xiaozhuang.
Niu Sizhuang was also caught by Luo Wu.
Gu Dafu asked the villagers to tie up the five Niu brothers with straw ropes, escort them to the vicinity of the deep pit, and tie them to a dead tree.
Looking at the five brothers of the Niu family who were beaten to the point of bleeding, Gu Jinli's turbidity in his heart finally spit out, and said to the original owner in his heart: Little girl, I will avenge you.
Village Chief Gu hurried over with the rest of the villagers, and when he saw that the Niu brothers were covered in blood and couldn't move, he was startled and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Don't make a fuss. ”
Father Luo said: "Don't worry, the village chief, they just fainted and didn't die." ”
Village Chief Gu breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that there are no dead people, after all, they are from Niutougou, there are more than two hundred clansmen, if there is a good one, our village will be in trouble." ”
On the way to escape the famine, what Village Chief Gu was most afraid of was to conflict with other victims and cause trouble to the village.
Although these Niu brothers deserve to die, they can't really kill them.
Village Chief Gu looked at the sky and said to the villagers: "Go and fetch water, after the water is full, we have to hurry." ”
"Okay." The villagers responded, put down the stubble of the Niu brothers, and began to fetch water again.
The water in the pit was getting scarce, and the villagers had been fighting for more than a quarter of an hour before they could no longer get water.
Gu Dafu took the water jar full of silt to the village chief Gu and told him about the water being drained.
Village Chief Gu looked at the silt in the half-water tank, sighed, and asked Gu Dafu: "Have all the people in the village got water?" ”
Gu Dafu replied: "I've got it all." ”
Many families filled everything that could hold water, and few people got more than two jars of water, which was enough.
Village Chief Gu nodded when he heard this, got up and shouted to the villagers: "Folks, pack up your things, let's continue to hurry, we must catch up with the victims in front of us before dark, we can't pull the queue!" There are still victims of the three provinces behind us, and if they catch up, we won't be able to save anything! ”
This drought is all affected by the seven prefectures in the northwest, and their Long'an Mansion is in the center of the northwest, and there are three prefectures and cities in front of them fleeing the famine, and there are three prefectures and cities in the back.
The victims of the disaster deceived their lives, and once they saw a face that was not familiar, they would join forces to grab things.
The villagers knew that the victims were robbing their things, so they hurriedly packed up their things and began to go out of the mountains.
As for the five brothers of the Niu family, when they were leaving, Village Chief Gu asked the villagers to untie their ropes, and when they woke up, they could leave on their own.
The third grandmother had already taken the daughters-in-law and children of the Cui family, the Chu family, Aunt Tian, and the Lao Yan family near the mountain pass, and when she saw the villagers coming out, she followed with her things on her back.
When Mrs. Gu saw Cui's, she finally had an outlet for the anger she had been holding back all morning, and she landed on the ground with the cane in her hand and shouted, "Cui's, hurry up and help the old woman!" ”
Cui Shi heard Mrs. Gu's voice and shrank in fright.
Gu Jinli shouted: "Milk, isn't my aunt helping you to grow old?" My mother spent the night digging with my dad last night, and she was tired. ”
This is not nonsense, the five families they dug for last night were all so tired that their faces were pale and their eyes were blue.
Village Chief Gu didn't want to take care of the affairs of the old Gu family, but thinking of the merits of Gu Dashan's family, the old face couldn't get over it, and he spoke for Gu Dashan's family for the first time: "Sixth, Dashan's family is tired all night, let the children rest, you have so many sons and daughters-in-law, are you afraid that no one will serve?" ”
Old Man Gu is ranked sixth, and people of the same generation in the village, as long as they are older than him, call him the sixth old.
Seeing that the village chief was speaking in person, Old Man Gu glanced at Mrs. Gu and asked her to restrain herself.
Mrs. Gu was so angry that her face turned blue, but she knew that she couldn't trouble the boss's family now, so she had to suppress her anger and let Aunt Gu help her to hurry.
Cui Shi escaped, held Gu Jinli's hand, and smiled with relief.
Gu Jinan whispered beside him: "Xiaoyu has the ability, he can protect our mother." ”
Gu Jinli smiled and teased Brother Cheng, and the family carried things on their backs and gathered together to hurry.
This was a whole day, and it was not until it was dark that they caught up with the fleeing team in front.
Village Chief Gu asked Gu Dafu to knock on the bang and inform the villagers: "Everyone rest in place, now it's dark, the village will not organize the villagers to look for food tonight, if each family wants to find food, organize their own manpower, be careful, pay attention to safety, don't make trouble, let's continue to rush tomorrow." ”
The villagers were so tired that they found a place to rest for the night in the vicinity, and then began to light a fire and boil water for dinner.
"Cui's, don't hurry up and come to work!" Mrs. Gu was scolding people with crutches again: "Dashan, Brother An, you two don't go to find food quickly, you want to starve the whole family to death." ”
Cui Shi and Gu Dashan hurriedly untied their things and ran to the old Gu family with Gu Jinan.
As soon as they left, Mrs. Gu asked Aunt Gu to take Gu Xiaomei and Qian Li'er to the resting place of Gu Dashan's house and began to rummage through Gu Dashan's things.
Gu Jinli protected Gu Jinxiu and Gu Jincheng behind him and looked at them coldly. Their family's things have long been handed over to the third grandmother's house for safekeeping, and Aunt Gu and their aunts don't want to find anything good.
Aunt Gu rummaged for a while, only to find half a bamboo tube of water and half a bag of dried leaves.
Gu Xiaomei's face turned blue with anger, she glared at Gu Jinli and asked, "Where is your family's water reservoir?" ”
Gu Jinli pointed to the bamboo tube in Qian Lier's hand and said, "It's all here." ”
Gu Xiaomei didn't believe it: "You fetch water first, how can there be only such a little?" ”
Gu Jinli smiled harmlessly: "If my sister-in-law wants to know, you can ask the village chief, or ask the third grandfather and three grandmothers." ”
"You!" Gu Xiaomei was so angry that she really couldn't bargain, she was about to leave with the bamboo tube, but was stopped by Gu Jinli.
Gu Jinli snatched the bamboo tube from her hand and said, "This is our water, sister-in-law can't take it away, otherwise, we can only go to the village chief's house to ask for water to drink." ”
This threat successfully repelled the three Gu Xiaomei.
Gu Xiaomei returned to the resting place of the old Gu family and scolded Gu Xiaoyu fiercely.
Qian Guangzong gave Aunt Gu a look, Aunt Gu understood, and whispered to Mrs. Gu: "Mother, Gu Xiaoyu used the village chief to press our family, this is not good, we have to think of a way, we can't let Gu Dashan's family turn over." ”
And there is only one way for Gu Dashan's family to never turn over, and that is to sell their family!
