Chapter 13: The Truth

Tuesday Lang listened to his mother's muttering words over and over again, and he was terrified.

Zhou Laogui saw his constantly changing face, and said angrily: "Do you know that you are afraid now?" ”

"What did you do in the first place?"

"That's your daughter-in-law, I didn't have to let you fight to death, now it's okay, people were killed by you, be honest."

Zhou Laogui is still very dignified at home, and a rhetorical question made the second child say that he was not angry.

Boss Zhou glanced at his second brother and said in a low voice: "Everything has already happened, and it's too late to regret it." But A-Niang is like this, and it will not be easy to go outside in the future. ”

"It's only these two days, and our brothers share a little, leaving one person at home every day, and when the seeds are planted, they will be able to free up their hands."

Zhou Laogui gave his eldest son a lot of face, nodded at the moment, thought about it and said, "The eldest and the third, you will go back and tell your family later." ”

"It's all a family, don't go outside for anything."

"I'll keep the words in my head, and whoever wants to leak a little out of me, I'll take them back."

"Who would dare to marry my daughter-in-law who has returned from my old Zhou's house?"

Zhou Laogui said this loudly, and all the brothers responded in a low voice.

Zhou Laogui knocked the cigarette pouch to the kang head, and the matter was over.

The crowd went back to their houses in a hurry.

Zhou Laogui looked at the wrinkled and dirty old wife, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.

"Alright, let's sleep."

He laid out the bed, turned off the lights and lay down.

Gu Sheng flicked his fingertips, and a little dark light fell on Zhou Laogui, and after making sure that he had fallen asleep, he gently touched Yuan Bao'er.

Yuan Bao'er smiled silently, took out the beans, pinched them hard, and threw them down when he heard a click.

The beans fell lightly, and the green fire instantly floated out.

Because of the falling trend, it is still a little fluttery.

The old woman didn't notice it at first, but soon she saw a ghost fire less than two feet away from her.

Thinking of Yuan Bao'er and her words earlier, the old woman's eyes widened, her mouth opened wide, and a frightened gurgling sound came out of her throat.

Yuan Bao'er pursed her lips and smiled, tightened her throat, and let out a poignant and ethereal cry as she learned the sound of a kabuki song.

"Mother-in-law, I'm so cold."

"You keep me warm."

She pinched her throat and thuded.

The old woman giggled for a while, only to feel a chill all over her body, and she was so shocked that her soul flew out of the sky.

She held her head and shrank for a while, as if remembering that this was home, and she still had a helper.

She hurriedly went to pull Zhou Laogui, but Zhou Laogui seemed to be asleep.

She wanted to call her sons again, but she was so scared that she couldn't make too much noise.

She had no choice but to shrink away from the kang, curl herself up in a ball, and whispered: "I was wrong, I shouldn't have played you a hush, I shouldn't have tortured you, but I didn't hurt you." ”

"There is a debtor and a debtor, you want to take revenge, go to the second child."

"It was he who beat you, I persuaded and persuaded you, and I said it, what can I do as an old woman?"

"If you don't want to prescribe medicine yourself, you can't do it with me, it has nothing to do with me. Yes, that's right, it has nothing to do with me," the old woman muttered, and the more she talked, the more she felt reasonable, and in the end she became more and more reasonable.

Yuan Baoer was speechless, feeling that this family was not a thing.

How the younger brother died, this family knows, but in order to cover up their son's behavior, they actually put the fault on the earth, causing her grandfather to be imprisoned, and also causing the farmers in the entire Yingzhou territory to lose a year's harvest.

But that's it, the old woman didn't feel sorry, she just listened to Zhou Xiaocui and felt unhappy, so she grabbed the one who didn't give up, and she had to force people to do it.

Such people deserve to die even if they are all dead.

Gu Sheng saw that he couldn't ask anything, so he put down the tiles and left lightly with Yuan Bao'er.

"It's really hateful," waited until her feet were firmly stepped on, and Yuan Bao'er said angrily: "Do all the officials eat dry rice?" How did such a simple thing come to the eggs? ”

Gu Sheng smiled and said lightly: "Naturally not, it's just that whatever you want from above, they will give it." ”

Yuan Bao'er was stunned, remembering what her grandfather had said to her, and suddenly fell silent.

Gu Sheng saw that her little face was full of heaviness, and smiled again, "The next thing is not for you to interfere with." ”

He took her to the outside of the village, and Yuan Bao'er was already relieved after knowing that Gu Sheng had come for the matter of her grandfather.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the famous cloth Yiwei has hands and eyes, and she is not much stronger than her who can only play with mud.

As a layman, she just waits honestly.

Gu Sheng took her to take the burden that she had hidden in the ground earlier, and found a land temple nearby.

The land temple seems to be well cared for, the floor and the offering table are very neat, and there are upright futons under the incense table.

Gu Sheng settled her here, and went around to pick up some firewood and came back.

Soon, a bonfire was lit in the Land Temple.

Yuan Bao'er leaned against the pillars and watched the constantly jumping flames in a daze.

It has been four or five days since she came out, and it has been nearly seven days since her grandfather entered Beijing before.

In the dream, my grandfather passed away at this time.

I don't know how he is this time.

Gu Sheng broke a few broken branches and threw them into the fire.

When he raised his eyes and saw that she looked worried, he said, "Worried about Master Cheng? ”

Yuan Bao'er came back to her senses and smiled at him, "My grandfather has always been arrogant, and they take care of them as housekeepers on weekdays. This time in prison, there is no one who is careful, and I am worried that he does not know how to take care of himself. ”

Gu Sheng was silent and said in a low voice: "Master Cheng is auspicious, he will be fine." ”

Yuan Bao'er hooked the corners of her mouth and lowered her eyes.

What auspicious people, if this is the case, in the dream, the ancestor will not die as soon as possible.

Gu Sheng is in charge of the prison, and Cheng Li is locked up with him, how can he not know what the situation is now.

I know it well, so I will come here in person.

Yuan Baoer knew in her heart that with her current ability, she could do very little.

For example, now, I know that my brother was killed by my husband and my in-laws.

But if the government and officials protect each other, she will go to Beijing at this time to sue the emperor, and it will be useless.

This is their territory, as long as they want, people and criminals can't get out of Yingzhou City.

Gu Sheng added two more dead branches, and said in a low voice: "Rest early, I have to hurry tomorrow morning." ”

Yuan Bao'er knew that he still had a lot of things to do after sending him off.

There are several forces mixed in the matter of the grandfather, and if she wants to clear the grievances of the grandfather, Gu Sheng has to do much more than she imagined.

She curled up in a clump, curled up on the futon, resting her head on her hands, and closed her eyes quietly.

It seemed that after only squinting for a moment, Bao'er heard a voice.

She immediately opened her eyes and found that it was already dawn.

She moved her stiff legs and propped herself up on the futon.

found that Gu Sheng was not in the house.

She hurriedly ran outside the temple and saw Gu Sheng coming from a distance.

When he saw Bao'er, he simply stood still and waved at her.
