Acquaintance with Jun Chu is like returning to an old friend Chapter 39: Afraid to throw yourself into your arms
Gu Liu spent a whole morning shopping all over his flax ground, Yun Xiu sat on the chair and shouted that he couldn't walk, in the end, there is a difference between men and women, the two of them go up and down together on weekdays, and the exercise is the same and does not appear to come out, today she suddenly walked so much, she was already tired, but Gu Liu still walked vigorously.
Back at home, Gu Liu took a sip of herbal tea, asked Aunt Li and her man to drive, and took him to Suzhuang Village to discuss matters with Village Chief Liu.
Yunxiu was so tired that she fell asleep without eating lunch.
There are many people in Suzhuang Village and little land, and at the time of the autumn harvest every year, after finishing their own farm work, the labor force at home has nothing to do.
Either they gather in groups to eat and drink and play cards, or they go to the town to find a job to do. There are always a few hard-working people, and most of them are from the countryside, and when they enter Chen, they are afraid to speak, and they can't speak, for fear that someone will be ridiculed, and the more they do this, the more they dare not go out.
Over time, there were far fewer people willing to go out to work during the slack time.
They are all young men in their teens and twenties, and when they are idle, they will make trouble, and a few mouthfuls of yellow soup will go down, you owe me, and I will quarrel with him, and when I encounter a temper, I will inevitably bleed.
At this time, the village chief is very busy, the east head is short in the west, the south of the village is short in the north of the village, and the parents in the north are short.
Not long ago, Village Chief Liu specially brought a few hares to find Gu Liu.
Gu Liuye has few people in the land, and the family has hired Yun Xiu to work in the field for a long time, this autumn harvest and spring planting, all need manpower, although Gu Liuye's work in the field is often done by familiar people, but Yun Xiu is from their Suzhuang Village, acquaintances are easy to do internally, there is Yun Xiu standing in the middle, Gu Liuye can give some monk noodles.
Village Chief Liu had greeted the men in the village early, and none of them went out this autumn, and the big guy had heard from other villagers that Gu Liuye of Beishan was a good employer, eating well, earning a lot of wages, not delaying accounts, and having good hearts, and giving mung bean soup to drink when the weather was hot.
As long as you are willing to work hard, do a good job in the field according to Gu Liuye's requirements, and work at the door of your home, you can earn more than going to the town to work hard for the landlord's old wealth.
More money, less things, close to home, a proper life goal.
This kind of good thing, since everyone is happy, they all know that they can climb the good road of Gu Liuye, how much they are stained with the light of the third child of the Yun family, Yun Erni feels that when she goes out these days, the people in the village look at her with eyebrows and smiles, as if she has seen a copper plate, and she is furious in her heart.
Yunxiu got up in the afternoon, the house was stuffy, she washed her face, looked for some food in the kitchen, and found that Gu Liu hadn't come back yet, so she and Aunt Li cleaned up the vegetable patch in front of the house.
It wasn't until dark that I heard the horse bell and clang, and Yun Xiu dropped Xiao Qi on her lap and went out the door.
When he went, the carriage was empty, so he pulled a Gu Liu, and the horse's hooves rattled.
When I came back, a cart of things of all sizes was not a valuable object, but a piece of the villagers' hearts.
The people in the village are really real in this situation, although they are poor and can't take out any good things, but as long as they feel that Gu Liuye's family doesn't have them, they will load them into the car.
It's hard to be gracious, one or two, the car can't be stuffed, Gu Liuye can only sit on the car Bangzi and swing back.
Aunt Li was afraid that Xiaofuzi would not be able to eat after school, so she made dinner, said hello to Yunxiu and went back first.
Children are too tired from studying, being a mother's heart is distressing, learning this thing can't be replaced, cooking and serving tea, everything is put on the top of the heart, can be taken care of, must be the first to do it for them.
Yun Xiu was the only one left in the house, served herbal tea to the two of them, and beat the dust on Gu Liu's body, a good young man went to the village, his black clothes and black pants were all dusty, plus Gu Xiaoqi's cat hair was too tired and crooked, so Gu Liu was embarrassed to say that he was clean.
packed up, Yun Xiu went straight to move the things in the car.
There were some useful things in the car, and the bulging wormwood was tied with fine hemp rope and tied in bundles of long and short pieces, and packed in sacks. There are three big bags, and Yunxiu took this out alone and put it under the eaves. He turned around and dried it to make mugwort (1), continued cotton, and made a T thin mattress for Gu Liu.
On a rainy day before, she saw Gu Liu's face sinking like water, hugging his knees and rubbing against the fire, not saying anything, she also knew that he was uncomfortable.
When Yunxiu's mother was still alive, her legs hurt on rainy days, she was drenched in the rain when she was pregnant with her first child, and the cool air entered her bones, and she gritted her teeth on a rainy day, which was very similar to Gu Liu.
The old people in the village said that mugwort cured rheumatism, and it could also alleviate his illness if it was smoked for a long time.
Aunt Li and her man rested for a while, and then came over to help, looking at at least 100 catties of big winter melons in the car, and smacked their lips.
"Miss Xiu, I'm sorry for you, can you find me a T broken hand towel to pinch me." Aunt Li rubbed her hands and said embarrassedly.
The winter melon has thorns, which get on the clothes, and the daughter-in-law should twist her ears again when she goes home. Since his son went to school, he is the only one left in the daughter-in-law's clean-up, saying that his ears are connected to his brain, and he will not be able to read if he twists his ears.
Handing over the towel, Yun Xiu also stretched out her head to look into the car, good guy, the winter melon is as big as a little piglet, wide and tall and big.
"Can you move Uncle Li? Or I'll go in and take the handle, and we'll carry it together. Yun Xiu asked, poking her head outside.
Aunt Li waved her hand, "No, this is all trivial, I followed the sixth master when I was young, and I can carry a hundred and ten pounds of big stones with one hand, don't look at your Uncle Li Bensi, my strength is not lost to others." ”
Holding the wheel, he jumped into the carriage at once, and his movements were clean and neat.
"Yikes! Ghosts! Before she could bend down, Aunt Li and her man shouted, and she didn't even hold the door frame steady, and stumbled out and rolled out. With a frightened face, he pointed to the inside of the carriage and shouted in a panic: "Ghost ...... Ghost...... Female ghosts! ”
When Gu Liu heard the movement, he also put down the teacup and hurried over, looked at him and asked with a blank face, "Where are the ghosts?" Lao Li, you look at the wrong eye when it's dark! ”
After living for more than 20 years, Gu Liu has only seen a bodhisattva in the temple, a god in the dojo, and a living ghost.
Aunt Li and her man pointed to the inside of the carriage with both hands, trembling like a sieve, and couldn't speak: "It's ...... It...... It's ...... in winter Behind the melon...... Long...... Female ghost with long hair......"
Without finishing a sentence, he took a few steps back, bumped into the bamboo fence at the door, startled himself again, and stood behind Gu Liu with trembling steps.
The three men paused for a moment with their ears pricked up, and the ghost in the carriage did not come to his senses again.
Gu Liu stepped forward and stretched out his hand to go in, he wanted to see who the ghost was, and just walked to the front of the car, he was stopped by Yun Xiu.
"Master, I heard that demons are afraid of fire, so why don't we untie the horses and burn the cart." Yun Xiu proposed.
Such a big winter melon must have become an elite and looked so different, how could they fight with demons and ghosts if they were mortal in the flesh, it was better to burn its original body with a fire, but it would be clean.
"Master, this carriage is expensive, how can it be set on fire because of a mere little ghost?"
The top of this carriage was given by the concubine when he came out of Wangjing, and it was specially customized by the Xun family, and the cloud pattern dark flower on it was the logo of the Xun family.
In the future, you can count on it for thousands of dollars to buy land! Even if he fought in and fought with the ghosts, the carriage would not be able to burn.
Yun Xiu held the candlestick, her hands trembling, staring at the car door, for fear that in the blink of an eye, the ghost would jump out of it.
Gu Liu glanced at her, and said angrily: "Yun Xiu! You're such a big person, why are you still like a child, so timid that you're afraid of ghosts! ”
Yun Xiu glanced behind her, what's wrong with someone as big as her, is she very brave.
Aunt Li, who has been an adult for decades, and her man, are afraid and hide in the kitchen. Holding a pot in the window to cover his face, it looks like no one can see him. Fang Cai's incomparably strong ambition has long been thrown out of the clouds.
"Yunxiu?"
Hearing his name called, he thought it was Gu Liu, but Yun Xiu didn't reply, and he responded to Ai Ai.
"Yunxiu ......" The voice was a little long, but with a hint of frightening tremor.
"I'm here, I'll call me when you call me, don't be so scary!" Thinking that Gu Liu deliberately scared her like this, she was already scared to death, and she had to call her name to be scary, Yun Xiu complained dissatisfied.
"Is it Yunxiu?" The voice jerked up and asked.
Suddenly, a hand put on Yun Xiu's wrist, soft, a little cold, and suddenly scared Yun Xiu to the heart, and the candlestick in his hand was almost thrown away.
"I, I, I!" The hand shook her and grabbed her shoulder, settling her down. Hearing Gu Liu's voice in his ears, Yun Xiu opened his eyes at this time.
Fang Cai Yunxiu dripped the wax oil onto the back of his hand, scalding several red flowers, Gu Liuzheng gritted his teeth and shook his hand.
Yun Xiu patted her chest and saw Gu Liu in front of her clearly, and then she settled down.
"Master, can you speak normally? Don't scare people with procrastination. If I hadn't seen the ghost in the car, I would have been scared to death by you. Yun Xiu complained dissatisfiedly, the ghost hadn't scared her yet, but she was scared to death by Gu Liu, a fake ghost.
Coupled with a pair of cold hands, he suddenly shook it, and anyone could think that it was a ghost, this person was really a bad taste, and he was not afraid, so he thought that everyone was as bold as him. He's so powerful, what's wrong with going back and asking him for a tiger arhat?
Gu Liu pulled her wrist and took a few steps back, and said, "It's not me who called you." ”
He raised his chin and gestured, "Oh, the ghost in the car is calling you." ”
I heard another long and miserable voice coming out of the car: "Yunxiu, is it you......"
There is a weak breath, but with a slight trill, which sounds chilling in the night.
Yun Xiu was so frightened that she hugged Gu Liu beside her tightly, the sweaty pores all over her body had already opened, and the pimples of the chicken woman were from her back to her wrists, and she couldn't walk under her feet.
It's Aunt Li and her man who went to move the winter melon, why is this ghost reading his name alone, does the ghost also know that he is afraid of her to bully, or does the female ghost also want to find someone of her age to take away?
Yun Xiu's mind was already blank, and she didn't know anything, her hands were clenched tightly, and she buried her head in Gu Liu's arms, her nose was full of Gu Liu's smell, Gu Liu didn't change her clothes when she came back, the smell of sweat mixed with dust, and a faint aroma, which actually made her feel a little settled in her heart.
Gu Liu's arm was grabbed by her, and her steps were a little staggering, not that she was afraid of ghosts, but that this girl was too strong, and her arm was really painful, so it can be seen that those good dishes and good meals on weekdays have grown into strength.
Holding her in his arms, he pushed back a few more steps, and hurriedly took the candlestick and held it up in front of him to illuminate the scene in the car.
Reflecting the dim candlelight, there was a rustling sound in the car, only to see a hand, like a tentacle crawling up from hell, to grasp the glimmer of hope that crawled out in this night, with a bang, hit something, after a while, the hands on the car door, the nails were covered with water stains, look carefully, red and bright reflection light.
It should be stained with blood.
The knuckles are distinct, pale and thin, just like the broken petioles of the lotus leaves after they wither in late autumn, although they are ordinary, they make people feel frightened.
"Yunxiu, don't be afraid, it's me ......"
