Chapter 40: The Helper
In fact, from the moment he heard the news, he couldn't wait to rush to Qu Die to see how she was, but in the end, whether men and women were intimate or not, Gu Zhan would suppress the anxiety in his heart.
Waving his hand indifferently, Qu Die's heart was inexplicably a little warm, and while beckoning Gu Zhan to come into the house to sit, he walked in by himself.
took out a few tea eggs from the firewood room, and Qu Die said slowly: "Actually, it's nothing, I recently developed this thing, probably because I saw that my business was too good and I was unhappy, so I came to find someone to smash my stall." ”
"What is this?" Frowning, Gu Zhan didn't pay much attention to the news outside because he had been busy hunting, so he didn't know that the tea eggs had become a mess in several villages at this time, he put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it gently, and he smelled a pungent aroma.
Qu Die smiled, remembering that the last time the two of them had dinner, she was delayed by the Xie family, who came to find trouble, before she had time to take the tea eggs for Gu Zhan to eat, and immediately pushed several tea eggs on the table in front of him. "Try it and see how I do it, I'll tell you." Winked playfully, Qu Die motioned to Gu Zhan with his eyes to eat.
Peeling off the eggshell, he put the white and tender egg in his mouth without hesitation, and chewed it a few times, and Rao is Gu Zhan's expression also changed. "Very good." He didn't use any fancy words to describe it, so he had to say it bluntly.
Qu Die let out a pleasant chuckle, sat down slowly on the chair, and then explained unhurriedly: "This thing is called tea eggs, in fact, it is an ordinary egg, and I will take a pot to the town to sell it every morning recently, but today a group of gangsters came out of nowhere and wanted to smash my stall, but don't worry, a few unpopular embroidered pillows still don't pose a threat to me." ”
Closing his eyes slightly, Qu Die didn't intend to tell Gu Zhan about his injuries and his guesses.
But if she didn't say it, it didn't mean that Gu Zhan wouldn't care, after listening, Gu Zhan immediately couldn't sit still, and his face, which already had a one-foot scar, looked even more solemn and terrifying at this time.
"Then I'll go with you tomorrow, and if they come again, I'll beat them back with my fist!" Sandbag's fists were clenched tightly, and Gu Zhan's attitude was very resolute.
But Qu Die was also not to be outdone, she raised her head suddenly, and she refused with a very serious look in her eyes: "No!" Your you don't take care of? She's an old man, so you'd better stay with her and don't get involved in this matter, I'll solve it myself tomorrow. ”
Not only for this reason, but what made Qu Die even more unagreeable was that if Gu Zhan really went with her, there would be no income on this day, how would he support his family and himself?
Gu Zhan has always been stubborn, the thing he believes is that ten cows can't be pulled back, and Qu Die is the same, the two of them are arguing like this, it is not a matter of winning or losing, Gu Zhan said helplessly: "Grandma is taken care of by my eldest brother and sister-in-law, I can accompany you!" ”
Stunned, Qu Die fell silent, and even doubted his ears.
Three seconds later, she was completely sure and asked incredulously, "You reconciled with them?!" "Liu and Gu Li treated them like this at the beginning, Qu Die never expected that how much time had passed, and Gu Zhan would actually be able to abandon his previous suspicions and get back together with them.
After being silent for a while, she nodded helplessly, after all, it was someone's family's business, and her thoughts were one thing, and they had nothing to do with others.
But despite this, Qu Die still shook his head resolutely and refused: "That's not good, you believe me, I can solve it by myself, you really don't need to follow me." ”
Saying this, Qu Die's heart is actually different, she hasn't thought of a good countermeasure yet, but it's best to deceive if she can deceive her.
Seeing that Gu Zhan had already seen everything he should have seen, and the visit was finished, he stood up directly, and urged as if he was a little impatient: "Okay, no matter what you say, I won't promise you, you go back quickly, it's going to be dark soon, and you won't be able to see the road clearly later!" ”
Then he stuffed the remaining tea eggs in his hand into his rough big hand, and pushed his tall and majestic body out of the door, Qu Die didn't notice that his body had become a little stiff, and closed the door directly.
Looking at the wooden door that had been closed in front of him, Gu Zhan shook his head helplessly, and had no choice but to give up and leave.
Feeling that the door was empty, Qu Die opened the wooden door and stretched out his little head to look out.
Took the materials and walked to the firewood room, although today's sales were interrupted, but she was not the slightest discouraged, while rushing to make the tea eggs on the second day, Qu Die chatted with Qu Wanting, who had just arrived, about her troubles.
Shaking her head, Qu Wanting's face was also full of helplessness, "Even if you drive them away today, those gangsters are like they can't be killed, and they will definitely come the next day, or even more!" What can you really do? Scratching her head in a hurry, with her elm-like brain, Qu Wanting couldn't think of a way at all.
"You're suspicious of the people behind them now, aren't you?" Frowning and thinking for a while, Qu Wanting repeated it again, as if she was contemplative.
"Well, it's a pity that there are so many people who have a grudge against me, it's hard for me to determine who he is, and they didn't get any benefits from me today, and they will definitely come back tomorrow." Rubbing her eyebrows, Qu Die was so unconfident in herself for the first time, and now she has made too many enemies, which makes the road more and more difficult to walk in the future.
"It seems that I really do things too flamboyantly on weekdays, and I am like this now." For a while, the whole room fell silent, and after pondering for a while, Qu Die muttered to herself as if reflective.
"What if you give in? They're in the name of collecting protection money, so if they really give them money, they should be relieved, right? Qu Wanting didn't know how exaggerated those people were, she just thought that Qu Dieke would take some money and send them away.
Shaking their heads, the two had another fierce discussion, and just when they were both at the end of their rope, Qu Die suddenly exclaimed and had a new idea.
The next morning, the sky had just dawned, and when the first rays of sunlight in the morning shone into the room, Qu Die had already lifted the quilt and got up quickly.
Picking up the clothes on the shelf, Qu Die simply put them on her body and walked out of the room with her unkempt hair.
"Huh?!" Widening her eyes suddenly, Qu Die looked at the man in front of her who was only a foot away from her in surprise, and hid her face and exclaimed softly.
Turning around in embarrassment, Gu Zhan was obviously a little surprised that he would see such a curved butterfly early in the morning, and his face couldn't help but blush, like a girl who had been insulted, and stammered and explained: "I, I didn't mean to, I really didn't ......
Gu Zhan was worried that he would leave when he came to Wanqu Die, so he came to her door early in the morning to report, but he didn't expect to see the private state of his daughter's house, and he couldn't help but feel ashamed and regretful.
Coughing lightly, Qu Die pretended to be calm to hide his embarrassment, and pretended not to see Gu Zhan's embarrassment, pretending to be casual and said, "It's okay, you, why are you here?" ”
In fact, she could probably guess it in her heart, but she just wanted to say something to reveal the current situation. After being silent for a moment, after the flush on his face had subsided, Gu Zhan replied with some uneasiness: "I said I must go with you." ”
Qu Die, who heard this, immediately held his forehead, and repeated with a smile: "So you came to squat so early?" "What does squatting mean, Gu Zhan can still understand.
But hearing this word come out of Qu Die's mouth, he couldn't help but feel even more like he had done something wrong. But he still nodded stubbornly, with an attitude of following Qu Die.
There is really no way to deal with him, Qu Die can't help but be a little funny, from the first time she saw her, she thought Gu Zhan was a simple person, and now she actually found him stubborn and cute. is really like a brute bull, and he doesn't listen to persuasion.
After spending a while trying to pick up themselves, the two walked to the place where they had made an appointment with the old man. The eldest lady saw that Gu Zhan was a little scared, but when she saw that he had been silently following behind Qu Die, she stepped forward enthusiastically to talk after a while.
Quietly looking at the man's embarrassed appearance, Qu Die couldn't help but burst out laughing, and then he explained to his aunt that he let Gu Zhan go.
Several people chatted all the way, and after a period of getting along, Qu Die was already very close to the old man and the aunt, and two quarters of an hour passed unconsciously.
Jumping out of the car to say goodbye to the two behind him, looking at Gu Zhan's somewhat stunned eyes, Qu Die couldn't help but ask, "The first time you came?" She also thought that Gu Zhan, who was a hunter, would also have the opportunity to come here to peddle.
After a pause, Gu Zhan nodded honestly and replied, "The fare is too expensive, I don't want to waste it here." "It's not that there is no market in the village, but the fare here costs three pennies, and it is no wonder that Grandma Gu Zhan was so sick before, and he himself is a fool who doesn't care about money.
Then, Qu Die led Gu Zhan all the way to the stall where she had been setting up recently.
As soon as I sat down, I heard a few big discussions, "She still dares to come!" Oh my God, this girl is so bold, she just offended that bastard yesterday, and today she can still set up a stall unharmed. ”
This kind of voice is not a few, Qu Die felt bored after listening to it for a while, and after setting up the tea eggs, he stared around, so as not to be almost smashed for a while.
The two of them sat like this for a while, and they didn't know who passed their news to Guo Yan again, and after a while, they saw the people with sticks in their hands walking towards the two of them menacingly.
Guo Yan already had a bad reputation, but now looking at his appearance, innocent people are even more afraid to avoid him and make way for him. After all, who wants to take their lives for nothing?
"Girl, I really underestimated you, you actually sent it to the door yourself, say today, what do you want?" Or with a guy in their hands, Guo Yan and the others swept away the pitiful appearance that was cleaned up by Qu Die yesterday, and stared at Qu Die with their eyes as if they had been quenched with poison.
