"Changning—Gu Changning—"

The sound of everyone's shouting spread throughout the village, and the Gao family in the north of Xinghua Village naturally heard it in the courtyard wall of their house.

It's just that the voice is still far away, and I can't listen carefully to what the group of people are shouting.

"What's wrong?" The second daughter-in-law, Wu, took out the candles and cigarettes, and was about to light them, when she suddenly heard an uneven sound from outside the courtyard wall, and asked with interest.

"I don't know, the voice is too indistinct to hear what I'm shouting." The third daughter-in-law, Jiang Shi, said calmly on her face, looking like she had nothing to do with herself.

Wu was busy with the work in his hands, and he didn't forget to look out of the courtyard, eager to rush out of the courtyard to listen carefully.

It's just that she thought so, and the afterglow swept to the Gao family standing in the courtyard, pursed her lips, and gave up her thoughts and continued to do what she was doing.

Just when everything was ready and they began to order the brazier to burn paper money, those people had already walked to the gate of Gao's courtyard, and the people inside could finally hear what the other party was shouting.

"Changning? Gu Changning? Did I hear me right? The person they are looking for is Gu Changning? Wu's face was stunned.

"A-Niang, you heard it right, it was indeed shouting Gu Changning." Gu Yuehuan also pricked up her ears to listen, and nodded in response after a while.

Wu's blood suddenly boiled, and he was inexplicably excited, "Are they looking for Gu Changning?" Gu Changning is gone? ”

Her eyes lit up, and she looked happy, as if it was not that the village had lost someone, but that the village was going to send money.

Jiang Shi glanced at her without a trace, and then lowered his head pretending not to see it, and silently threw paper ingots into the brazier.

She has always been like this, and everyone is used to it, so they directly ignore her silence at this time.

"Hmph, it doesn't look like a safe place, how can there be a girl's family scolding her elders in front of many people, and she has no education at first glance, and now in such a day, she doesn't stay at home to worship her ancestors, and she goes out to play, so it's strange if you don't lose it." Gao snorted coldly and said with contempt on his face.

At this moment, everyone didn't expect anything to happen to Gu Changning, they all thought that she forgot to go home because she was playful.

And Gao didn't like her, and now that he heard that everyone was looking for her, he naturally wanted to use the topic to play and take out the things from a few months ago.

After all, Gu Changning's dispute with Aunt Zhou had already spread throughout the village, some agreed and some disagreed.

The reason for disapproval is very simple, Aunt Zhou is an elder, she is a junior, and other granddaughters are a few years older than her, but she doesn't know how to let the old man go.

not only confronted him in public, but also had such an aggressive attitude, so that Aunt Zhou couldn't get off the stage in front of everyone, and lost half of her old face for half her life, and she didn't know what it was to respect the old man at all.

When the Gao family heard the discussion of the villagers, they wanted to say a few more words, which made the villagers who were close to the Gao family even more dissatisfied with Gu Changning.

Gao Shi was happy in his eyes, and said that she spoke ill of her more diligently behind her back.

Especially after Aunt Zhou's accident, she disliked Gu Changning more and more, and every time she thought of her, she always felt very sorry in her heart.

It's not surprising that a girl as unruly as her would do anything deviant.

"That is to say, at a young age, with sharp teeth and sharp mouths, there is no girl at all who should be, but it is not as good as our family Yuehuan, Xiuwai Huizhong, and Hui Lanxin." Wu followed Gao's words and began to praise his daughter, with a very proud expression.

Jiang Shi didn't react when he heard her words, and even Gu Chuyu, who was squatting on the side, lowered his head, and rolled his eyes when everyone was not paying attention, expressing his disdain.

Gu Yuehuan is also worthy of adjectives like Xiuwai Huizhong and Hui Zhilanxin?

Maybe it was Wu's behavior of stepping on Gu Changning that made Gao very satisfied, she said "um", and rarely agreed: "Yes, how can Gu Changning compare to my granddaughter, hmph, the mother is a short-lived ghost, the son is short-lived, and the granddaughter born here is also a disgusting person, but fortunately they were separated early." ”

Speaking of which, the Wu family didn't dare to answer, she knew what her mother-in-law cared about the most, wasn't it the lady who took the lead in her father-in-law?

At this time, she didn't dare to answer at will, in case the horse's fart slapped on the horse's hooves, it would be self-inflicted.

If Wu doesn't speak, Jiang won't be able to speak.

So the family burned paper money for their ancestors in the courtyard where the light gradually dimmed.

***

Old man He sat in the room with a dark face, listening to the sound of flickering and short outside, and slammed his fist on the table.

"Big brother, you can't blame the fourth brother, who knew that the girl would appear in a hurry, it would be better to be one step earlier or one step later, but if she appeared at that moment, we could only get people away." The person who spoke was the young man who stunned Gu Changning and Lin Junze at noon.

He was sitting opposite Old Man He at the moment, and he shrunk his neck and explained.

"Don't blame him, who is to blame?" Old Man He raised his eyes and glared at him, his eyes were gradually boiling with anger, and he shouted angrily, "Who let him bring people on his own initiative?" Do you think we're living too long?! ”

"......" The young man snorted twice, and his eyes secretly swept over the woman sitting in a corner of the room, and saw that she lowered her head and concentrated on sewing the clothes in her hands, and still mustered up the courage to say, "The fourth and fourth brothers are also thinking about finding a child...... I will give you a ...... for the elderly."

As soon as these words came out, the air in the room suddenly condensed, and even the lit oil lamp remained in shape as if it were frozen.

The young man froze in place, not daring to move even a strand of hair, trying to shrink himself into a ball and reduce his presence.

In the middle of the night, with a gust of wind blowing in from outside the house, the fire was extinguished, and the shadow shining on the wall also swayed, and the old man He exhaled a long breath, and his voice was a little indistinct: "That is it, if you catch it, you can catch it." ”

The anger that had accumulated in his chest for the fourth child's assertive action caused such a **** annoyance dissipated in an instant.

"Yes......" The young man quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said nervously to the point that he was a little panting for breath.

"The little baby of the Gu family, where did you put her?" Those who should be reprimanded were also reprimanded, and Old Man He turned to think about how to deal with the aftermath.

"Big brother, don't worry, I have already transported her away, along with the children who were originally hiding in the West Mountain, even if there are more of them, what if they really find a place, they are no longer there." The young man said proudly.

As early as noon, he felt that the matter was not good, that the village had lost people, and that perhaps the village would send someone out to look for it.

After searching all corners and not finding anyone, going up the mountain is an inevitable choice, so won't the people they hide in the cave be discovered?

So he hurriedly brought someone in a carriage to transfer the children.

When Old Man He heard this, he was a little uneasy, "Can anyone see it?" ”

"Don't worry, we're walking from the back of the mountain, and no one will see you there."

There were roads on all sides of the mountain, and as long as there was a slope, they could go up the mountain.

And the mountain to the west of Xinghua Village, they have been entrenched here for several years, and they are very familiar with the terrain and birds and beasts in the mountain.

"That's good." Old man He pondered for a moment and said, "I'll go out to investigate the situation first, and you will stay with me tonight for the time being, and then leave quietly when it is almost dawn tomorrow." ”

"Okay." The young man did not refuse.

Now there are torches lit outside and shouting the girl's name, and there are still a lot of people, so it's strange that he won't be arrested as a suspicious person when he goes out now.

It's just that Old Man He went out, and he and his sister-in-law were left in the house, and the young man was a little stunned, so he hurriedly said hello to her, and went to the next room.

He can't blame him for being so afraid of his sister-in-law, but she usually has a gloomy face, looks cold, and has a biting chill, he doesn't dare to stay for a long time, so he can only escape from this house first.

Uncle He looked at the back of the young man leaving without any emotion in her eyes, and then looked at the darkening sky, and only after a few moments did she withdraw her eyes, continue to lower her head, and busy with the movements in her hands.

The day of the tiger's sacrifice is almost here......

She focused on sewing a dress that was obviously only worn by young children, stitch by stitch, with a serious look in her eyes, as if someone was waiting to wear it.

……

Uncle He walked out of the courtyard and squinted at the noisy group of people in the distance and the faint light of the fire coming from the torches.

Then he swept his eyes and saw that the doors of those people in front of him were also wide open, standing in front of the door and looking curiously in the direction from which the voice came.

Uncle He's eyes turned around on these people, and then he deliberately pretended to be puzzled, walked straight to a house in front of him, and asked curiously, "Old Zhangtou, over there...... What's going on? Why are so many people walking around the village with torches, what happened? ”

As he spoke, he raised his chin and nodded over there.

Lao Zhangtou was squatting at the door of his house staring at the torch, Leng Buding heard a familiar voice above his head, and he replied without raising his head: "I don't know, it seems that he is looking for someone, there are more than 100 families in this village, and I don't know which family lost someone." ”

"Oh, is it? That's really going to kill people......" Old man He casually glanced at the old man's head, stood beside him, bent slightly, put his hands behind his back, and looked with him in the direction illuminated by the torch, silent.

The crowd with torches first started from the northwest direction, and gradually moved to the east and south sides, and the people gradually began to separate and go in different directions.

Old man He just stared at the torch and came to his side, and after a while, he heard Aunt Wang's inquiring voice sound.

The place where Aunt Wang is standing now is at the door of her own house, and her house is relatively close to the village, so when these people pass here, the first place to pass is her house, and she can stop people at this time.

"Eh, aren't you Patriarch Gu's Ah Fei? What happened, whose family was lost? Aunt Wang asked with a hint of curiosity in her heart, sounding faintly mixed with a little excitement, feeling a little excited.

Gu Feiyu, who was stopped, glanced at her, nodded and said, "Aunt Wang, it's Uncle Gu Shan's Changning who is missing, we came out to look for someone, I wonder if my aunt can see her today?" ”

"Ah, you're talking about Changning? I seem to have seen her before noon, and she seemed to be walking to the back, and I don't know who she went to. When Aunt Wang heard that Gu Changning was gone, she immediately opened her eyes and said.

She was packing up her things in the yard of her home, and she was facing the gate, Gu Changning just walked past her door and went straight to the back.

She wasn't idle at that time, so she didn't look carefully where she went.

I didn't expect this child to be lost.

Aunt Wang's thoughts were racing, and she couldn't help but shake her head.
