Chapter 8: Lessons
"I know, doing Brother Gu Xian a favor, right?" Xiaohu was very sensible, blinking a pair of big black eyes, and the ghost looked at her and said.
"That's right! Little Tiger is the best! Gu Baoying smiled all of a sudden, pinching Xiaohu's little face, "Wait for my sister to go up the mountain and dig up delicious food for you!" ”
"Wow! Good! Sister Baoying, then you come back quickly, I will read carefully! Xiaohu drooled when he heard this, and looked at her expectantly.
"That's good." Gu Baoying touched his head again, turned around and entered the house.
She didn't worry about Xu.
Xu was blind and couldn't do anything, so he was idle on the kang in a daze, and when he heard the footsteps, he quickly wiped his tears quietly, and squeezed out a smile on his thin face: "Is it Baoying?" Have you taught Xiaohu to read? ”
"After teaching, Xiaohu is very smart, and the eldest brother has also been handed over to him to take care of, mother, I'm going up the mountain, can you do it alone at home?" Gu Baoying looked at her red and empty eyes, and sighed secretly in her heart, the Xu family was too weak.
"It's okay, it's okay, you can go with confidence, be careful on the mountain, come back early, and don't rob anyone if you dig something." Xu instructed.
"I know, mother, if you have something, call Xiaohu and let Aunt Liu help, and if Zhao Jiangpo comes to you again, you must not agree to marry Lao Zhengtou!"
"Okay, I won't say yes!" Xu Shi should take a bite.
Although Gu Baoying was still a little worried, it was not too early, so she picked up the basket and walked out.
After all, wild vegetables are still not as good as food, and she plans to see if she can dig up valuable herbs in the mountains, sell them for money, and buy some food to keep at home.
However, as soon as she walked to the gate of the courtyard, a figure who stretched her neck and peeked into the courtyard saw her coming and quickly ran away.
Gu Baoying frowned, recognizing that this was Gu Xinru, but where was she hiding and peeking at something?
There was a touch of strangeness in her heart, Gu Baoying thought about it, and still turned to Aunt Liu's yard, asking her to take time to take care of the Xu family today.
Aunt Liu naturally agreed.
Gu Baoying went up the mountain and left.
And just as she walked out of the door of this mansion with her front feet, Gu Xinru stared at her behind her, and went back to say to the Yang family: "Gu Baoying also found Aunt Liu." ”
"This little bitch, who used to be a heartless idiot, how can he die and wake up again, as if he was a different person, and everywhere he is shrewd?" When the Yang family heard that Gu Baoying had also entrusted someone to take care of the Xu family, he was so angry that he scolded.
"Mother, what should I do? Did Mrs. Zhao promise you last night? Gu Xinru asked timidly.
"That treacherous and cunning stinky bitch! I really don't know if she has any unsavory personal affairs with Lao Zheng Tou, otherwise why wouldn't she go in? Thinking of this, Yang became angry and scolded again.
She entertained Mrs. Zhao with good wine and food last night, and wanted the other party to do her a favor, which became her marrying Lao Zheng Tou.
But Mrs. Zhao is good, she eats and drinks, and she always pretends to be stupid in a vague manner, not saying yes, not saying no, just deliberately hanging her!
"What then? Mother, I don't want to go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables anymore, my ten fingers are broken, and my heart hurts! Also, the boys in this village are dirty, but they always like to surround me, and I hate them! Mother! You must marry Lao Zheng Tou! I don't want to live like this anymore! When Gu Xinru heard this, she fell into Yang's arms and cried.
"Ouch, my good darling! It's for you, my mother will definitely find a way! Your eldest brother is useless and doesn't listen to his mother's words, and he is thinking about the two fox spirits in the second room, but you are the most obedient, okay, don't cry, go up the mountain quickly, by the way, you met Gu Baoying's little slut, find a way to lead her to the ......" Yang's eyes flashed with poison, and he whispered to Gu Xinru.
"Mother...... Is this possible? Gu Xinru was a little scared, and she didn't dare to do such a hurtful thing.
"Why not? The Xu family is watching in the yard now, and her mother can't do it, but if Gu Baoying has three longs and two shorts, she will definitely look for death and life! When the time comes, isn't that old Zheng Tou his mother? Yang's eyes were round, looking at Gu Xinru with a grim expression.
"I—I'll do it!" Gu Xinru's immature face also showed a touch of ruthlessness, in order to eat a full meal, everything should be done!
……
……
Qinghe Village is backed by Maoshan Mountain.
This is a large mountain that is endless and has no end in sight, and Mao County is also named after it.
Gu Baoying went up the hill along the rugged path, and many eleven or twelve-year-old children in the village were bending down to collect dry firewood.
As soon as these children saw Gu Baoying coming, they looked at her a little curiously, obviously, Gu Baoying and Xu almost had an accident, they all knew about it.
Gu Baoying focused on her feet, ignoring them at all, just looking at them.
This group of bear children has always played well with Gu Xinru, and Gu Xinru is used to demagoguery, arranging a lot of bad things about the Xu family's indiscretion in the Gu family in the past, because they used to see the original owner and bullied her.
"Hey! Gu Baoying, my second master said you were dead, but why are you alive again? Can a dead man come back to life? A swarthy and strong-looking boy couldn't help but be the first to ask.
"Of course the dead can't live anymore." Gu Baoying glanced at her lazy gaze, this boy is Li Zheng's grandson, named Jiang Chao, very skinny, he is the child king of the village, and of course he took the lead in bullying her.
"And how did you live?" Jiang Chao looked curious.
"Of course it's because—I'm a ghost!" Gu Baoying suddenly rolled her eyes and shouted violently!
"Ahh Wow...... "The bear children were suddenly startled, and some of them were timid, and they were even more frightened and cried.
"Cut, a bunch of cowards." Gu Baoying pursed her lips boringly, turned around and walked towards the mountain.
Behind her, Gu Xinru was late.
As soon as she arrived, a group of boys surrounded her again, "Sister Xinru, why are you here?" ”
"There's something going on at home, what's wrong?" Gu Xinru's eyes were staring at Gu Baoying, and her footsteps followed her and walked towards the mountain.
"It's not this little fox spirit Gu Baoying, who actually scared Wang Zai into tears!" Jiang Chao wrapped his arms around and glanced at the youngest boy with disgust, who was the same as a little radish and always liked to follow them.
"I, I...... Brother Jiang Chao just now, you were obviously taken aback! The little boy clenched his fists and argued.
"Then we'll have to teach her a lesson! Or, lead her to the Forbidden Forest! Gu Xinru came up with an idea.
"No! My second master said that the forest is a forbidden area in the mountains, and no one can enter it! If you go in, you'll die! Jiang Chao was stunned for a moment, and then solemnly refused.
"I didn't really let her in, I just scared and scared her...... What are you doing so fiercely? If you don't want to...... forget it" Gu Xinru's tone was immediately weak and aggrieved, and her eyes were red.
