Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Death of the Dead

Gu Zheng's hands were clenched tightly, and this thunderbolt made her close her eyes in pain, as if she wanted to escape this cruel truth in this way......

"Hello...... Nan Nan ...... Come, to the mother's body...... ...... around"

Gu Liniang's weak voice pulled Gu Zheng back to reality, and at this moment, tears fell straight like beads with broken threads, but Gu Zheng didn't want to let herself cry out loud and make Gu Liniang feel uncomfortable, so she could only bite her lip desperately and desperately force her tears back.

Gu Zheng is just a ten-year-old child, but he has to face such a cruel parting of life and death, which makes Liu Shi on the side full of unbearable and can't help but reach out and hold Gu Zheng into his arms, with red eyes comforting and instructing: "Come to your mother's side, your mother is afraid that she has something to tell you, and if it is too late, I am afraid that it will be too late......"

Liu gently pushed Gu Zheng in front of Gu Liniang as he spoke, Gu Zheng didn't hold Gu Liniang's hand until this moment, and the hands that gradually became cold deeply stimulated Gu Zheng, making her desperate and say loudly: "Mother, you'll be fine!" That Wang Langzhong must be a quack! He must have been talking nonsense just now, you have always been in good health, how could you be knocked down by these minor illnesses? ”

Gu Liniang knew that her life was really short, although she was also full of unwillingness and reluctance, and she was even more worried about leaving Gu Zheng alone...... But at this moment, she can only seize the last chance to do what she wants.

I saw Gu Liniang carefully take off the jade pendant hanging around her neck, handed it to Gu Zheng with trembling hands, and told her word by word: "Nan, this is ...... This is the jade pendant that my mother has been wearing since she was a child and has never left her body, it was given to me by your deceased grandmother, and your grandmother told me not to sell this jade pendant no matter what, nor can I show this jade pendant to outsiders casually, it is death...... Death can't be sold! ”

"I'm afraid I'm really going to ...... now If you want to go, then you can only hand over this jade pendant to you, which can be regarded as a thought for you," Gu Liniang said and suddenly coughed violently, coughed for a while before slowing down, and said with difficulty: "You must wear it close to your body and keep it well, you can't sell it anyway, you must pass it on to your children...... Ahem......"

"I know, mother, you rest first! Stop talking! ”

Gu Zheng hung the jade pendant around his neck indiscriminately, and at the same time held Gu Liniang's hand tightly, wanting to pass on the strength to her to persevere: "Mother, you must cheer up, believe me, you will be fine soon!" Don't bother to talk anymore, lie down and rest, and when the fever goes away, you'll be fine. ”

Gu Liniang felt that her body was being hollowed out little by little, and she knew very well that her life was short, so Gu Zheng's pale and weak comfort only made her shake her head gently, and slowly pulled out a pale smile, while laboriously reaching out to touch the top of Gu Zheng's hair, while continuing to tell Gu Zheng......

"Nan, you are a smart and capable child, and you are also ...... I have always had more ideas than my mother, and my mother knows that if my mother is gone, you may be better off without being dragged down by my mother," Gu Liniang said that her beautiful face was full of guilt, and her words began to become a little incompatible: "Over the years, your grandmother has only taught your mother these tricks of messing around, so your mother will not do anything in her life, she will only be abducted and deceived......"

"My mother has always hated myself for not having the ability to earn more money and let you live a good life! Mother...... Ahem...... The reason why Niang was willing to cooperate with Aunt Sun and take the risk of pretending to be Miss Aluan of Cen Mansion was actually to let you live a good life and learn some skills that Niang had not had the opportunity to learn before...... Cough...... My mother has always believed that as long as you are given the opportunity to learn, you will not learn worse than others! ”

Although Gu Liniang knew in her heart that Gu Zheng was an assertive and capable person, when she thought that she would no longer be able to accompany Gu Zheng in the future, her moist eyes were quickly filled with worry: "Although Ke Niang knows that you have the ability, she is still worried that you will suffer alone in the future!" Nannan, your cousin's family is unreliable, and my mother has no ability to entrust you to others, so she can only ask the neighbors to help take care of you......"

Gu Liniang said and looked up at Liu, a pair of eyes that had already lost their luster were full of pleading, so that Liu, who was also a mother, immediately understood Gu Liniang's meaning, and nodded while wiping the corners of her eyes and giving Gu Liniang a promise: "Sister Gu, you can go with confidence!" Sister Zheng, I will help you take care of it, our two families are also old neighbors for decades, if Sister Zheng encounters any difficulties, our family will definitely help her! ”

Liu's words made Gu Liniang smile at her with a look of relief, and also made her hold Liu's hand tightly to express her gratitude...... But the smile on Gu Liniang's face didn't last long, I saw that she soon covered her chest and coughed violently, and this time she coughed up a mouthful of red blood!

That mouthful of blood made her dare not delay any longer, and immediately sped up the speed of her speech: "Nan, mother...... In addition to not worrying about you, my mother is not at ease with you...... Your ......"

It's a pity that Gu Liniang couldn't finish the last sentence, and her weak voice stopped abruptly, and then her head was crooked, her hand was loosened, and she collapsed weakly in Gu Zheng's arms, without the last trace of breath.

…………

On the fifth day of December, it is advisable to bury, drill, bury, move the coffin, and complete and remove the clothes; Do not enter the house, get married, and pray for blessings.

Gu Liniang entered the soil on the fifth day of the new year.

Gu Zheng took care of the funeral with the help of Liu's family and his cousin's family, and the funeral was very simple.

Let's not mention the big and small locks on the funeral, but after saying that Gu Liniang was gone, the young Gu Zheng walked into the situation of guarding a few rooms alone. This Gu Zheng is only ten years old this year, she is not small, but she is not big when she is big, and in the eyes of others, she has always been just a powerless girl, which can't help but make people worry about her future days...... There are those who sympathize with Gu Zheng, and there are also those who take the opportunity to fight her, such as the Zhang family.

As soon as Gu Liniang's funeral was done, Zhang came to the door pretendedly, and worriedly took Gu Zheng's hand and said, "Sister Zheng, are you afraid that you will live alone in these rooms after your mother leaves?" Hey, you're only ten years old, two years younger than my family, and you're going to go through this life and death, I'm really wronged by you! ”

Gu Zheng has always had no good impression of Zhang, and he didn't want to have too many entanglements with her, so in the face of Zhang's obviously ulterior words, Gu Zheng only replied politely and detachedly: "Thank you cousin and aunt for worrying, I'm fine, I can take care of myself." ”

Zhang's was not giving up, and saw that she was looking at the Gu family's rooms with greedy and eager eyes, and at the same time took the initiative to propose very earnestly: "How can you support this family with a little girl?" Your mother has just left, and you're a little scared to live in these rooms alone, right? “

"I think you must be a little girl, thin-skinned, and you are obviously scared but you don't dare to say it! I don't think it's better to ——— me move in with you for a while? After I move in with you, I can talk to you and relax your heart. Second, you can also take care of your house and sit in the town, so that those ruffians and hooligans dare not bully you to guard the house alone and come to the door to make trouble! ”

Gu Zheng knew that it was easy to invite God and difficult to send God, and he knew that if this Zhang family really moved over to live with her, it would not only be a temporary stay for a short time, but would immediately become a kraft candy that could not be shaken off, and Lai was unwilling to leave the Gu family by all means!

Gu Zheng naturally wouldn't give the Zhang family a chance to stay in the Gu family, so she directly rejected Zhang's "kindness" at the moment, and said unceremoniously: "Don't bother my cousin and aunt to move over, there are two boys from Aunt Liu's family next door to help me take care of the family's nursing home, and those ruffians and hooligans don't dare to come to make trouble!" Besides, I'm not the soft persimmon who is easy to bully——— who dares to make trouble, I will greet you unceremoniously! ”

"Then the Liu family is not your own family after all, you ......"

--------------------------------------- a bit off topic--------------------------------------

In fact, the role of Gu Liniang is indeed not positive, she does have a lot of shortcomings, a lot of depressing problems, I don't deny that she is a laggard, but she is also a little cute, and she is sincere to Xiaozheng from beginning to end, she only has selfless and great maternal love for Xiaozheng~

I actually just want to write about a typical little woman in the market who has a lot of shortcomings, but the nature of being a mother is still there, after all, no one is perfect~

PS: Everything is just a vignette, believe me, our little zheng's days will slowly get better~ The name of this book also points out that Xiao Zheng will not stay in the countryside for a long time, cough cough, this is a spoiler~
