Chapter 139: Questioning
Master also said that kindness is not reciprocated.
On weekdays, Gu Feng doesn't like to smile, he always keeps his face tight, giving people a feeling of rejecting people thousands of miles away, and the villagers don't feel anything when they are used to it.
Gu Feng smiled slightly, his cold eyes made people feel chills in his heart.
The courtyard of the Gu family suddenly quieted down, and everyone looked at Gu Feng in surprise, and retreated a little frightened.
"What a fuss!" Village Chief Zhao Heizi squeezed into the courtyard from outside, standing tremblingly beside Gu Feng with a cane in his hand.
Restraining the smile on his face, Gu Feng looked at Village Chief Zhao in surprise.
"You ungrateful fellows, who gave you the rabbit meat you eat now?" Village Chief Zhao knocked heavily on the ground with his crutches, rolled up his sleeves, blew his beard angrily and glared, stretched out his hand to point at everyone, and scolded, "What has become of Feng Village now, you don't have any points in your hearts!" ”
The crowd in the courtyard fell silent, and no one spoke.
"If Gu Feng hadn't discovered the situation in Feng Village first that night, do you think you would have found the Huns coming, and you think you would have been able to avoid the disaster?" The more Zhao Heizi spoke, the more angry he became, he had always been straightforward, but he couldn't look at these people with dirty thoughts in his heart, "In the middle of the night, one by one slept like dead pigs, if it weren't for Gu Feng's vigilance, we would have been the same as the people of Feng Village!" ”
Everyone was calmed down by Village Chief Zhao's words, and bowed their heads silently, "Saying that Gu Feng deceived your grain, where did he come from to know that the Huns would come at the end of the year, let alone know that there is a drought this year, and people have money to save food, what does it matter to you?" ”
Village Chief Zhao's every sentence was like a hammer slammed into everyone's chest, and everyone felt guilty at this time, bowing their heads one by one, like children who had done something wrong.
"One by one, you are not grateful, and you are still making trouble, you are really full, don't worry about running out of food." Village Chief Zhao breathed a long sigh of relief and couldn't help coughing.
"Now the entire Shaxian County is short of water, the harvest in the field is not good this year, and it is estimated that there will be no food next year, as long as Gu Feng sells the stored grain until the end of the year, he will definitely be able to sell it at a good price," Zhao Heizi said spitting, seeing that everyone was honest one by one, his voice softened, "We are in a village, Gu Feng takes care of you, and it only sells for eighteen wen a catty, which is much cheaper than in the market, you still don't know what to do, you have money to burn in a panic, then Cheng, you all go to the town to buy, don't buy it here!" ”
Everyone panicked when they heard this, and looked at Gu Feng with guilt on their faces.
"But why is their food still good?" Seeing that everyone seemed to be persuaded by the village chief, Chen San hid in the crowd and asked with a pinched voice.
"The rabbit meat in the ancestral hall cellar is not also good, and the things in the cellar are fine." Zhao Heizi's face turned black with anger, he grabbed his crutches heavily, and said sharply, "Which one is making trouble, find it out for me!" ”
Soon, Chen San was pushed out by everyone.
Chen San unconsciously touched the face of Village Chief Zhao, curled his neck, raised his eyes to look at everyone, touched everyone's disgusted gaze, and looked at Gu Feng angrily, "It's obviously his no, he's ......"
"What's it?" Gu Feng raised his eyes slightly, glanced at Chen San lightly, and said coolly, "I am an immortal, can I pinch and calculate, do you know that you are short of food?" ”
"You bought our food," Chen San stammered, "I must know that we don't have food this year." ”
"Last year's harvest was so good, even if I didn't harvest grain, it is estimated that many people would sell the old grain to make some silver." Gu Feng forcibly suppressed his anger, and said lightly, "Gu has already made a note of you, and I will not sell my family's grain to you again." ”
At this time, everyone was afraid that buying food from the Gu family was cheaper than two cents per catty, and if they went to the rice shop to buy it, it would be too expensive.
Gu Feng didn't wait for everyone to speak, and his deep voice sounded in the courtyard, "Gu Mou used to be too nosy, and if something happens in the future, he will never disturb everyone again." ”
Originally, everyone already knew that they were wrong, and they felt very guilty in their hearts, so they shouldn't be so reckless.
Gu Feng's words made everyone frightened and their legs weakened.
If they don't have food, they can spend a little more money to buy it in town, or they can ask relatives to help buy some food.
If the Huns attack again, if Gu Feng doesn't remind them, they will definitely not see the sun tomorrow.
At this time, everyone was instigated, and all their anger was sprinkled on Chen San's body, dragging Chen San out of the Gu family's courtyard, standing outside and punching and kicking Chen San, venting the anger in his heart.
The originally noisy courtyard suddenly quieted down, and Gu Feng slowly walked up to Village Chief Zhao and said gratefully, "Today, thank you Village Chief." ”
"Gu Feng, this is what I, the village chief, should do." Village Chief Zhao looked at the group of people at the door, shook his head, sighed a little helplessly, and his voice was old, "These people in the village have not gone to school, they don't know how to read, they don't understand anything, you just know like them." ”
Gu Feng's lips pursed into a line, but he did not speak.
"In the past, my father often told me that most of the people in the village were short-sighted and greedy," Village Chief Zhao knew in his heart that Gu Feng was still angry with those people, and whoever this matter was changed would be angry, "My father sent me to a private school to study at the beginning, just hoping that I wouldn't be so short-sighted, because this village always needs to have a long-term person to lead the whole village." ”
"They're pretty shrewd." Gu Feng opened his mouth coldly, and his fists crackled.
"It's ugly," Village Chief Zhao sighed and said melancholy, "They are all smart themselves, and they are not really smart. ”
Gu Feng naturally knew that everyone was instigated by Chen San.
"After I became the village chief, I thought that the children in the village would study more so that they could know what was right and what was wrong." Village Chief Zhao said bitterly, he just didn't want Gu Feng to be angry with those people again, and he was disappointed in Zhaojia Village, "Gu Feng, then don't be like those people." ”
Gu Feng's low face softened, and he breathed a long sigh of relief, "I just want to live in Zhaojia Village with my wife, and I don't want to cause trouble." ”
Hearing Gu Feng say this, Village Chief Zhao understood in his heart that Gu Feng had forgiven those people, and said some polite words, so he left tremblingly on crutches.
Gu Feng looked at the stiff back of Village Chief Zhao, if there was no Village Chief Zhao leading this village, I am afraid that this village would have died a long time ago.
The people in this village, just like Village Chief Zhao said, are a little smart, but most of them are ignorant.
Gu Feng sighed helplessly, closed the door with his hand, and those people from the province came in.
Gu Feng turned around and went back to the bedroom, saw that the door was closed, raised his hand and knocked on the door.
"Xianggong?" Su Jiu'er's trembling voice came from the house.
"Yes."
As soon as Gu Feng's words fell, he heard the sound of pulling the bolt open.
Su Jiu'er looked at Gu Feng with wet eyes, her eyes looked at Gu Feng's body, and there was nothing unusual about him, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
"They're gone?" Su Jiu'er hurriedly pulled Gu Feng towards the house, pulled him to sit at the table, and poured Gu Feng a glass of water.
"Gone." Gu Feng frowned slightly, drank a glass of water, and then slowly put down the cup in his hand, "It was the village chief who scolded them away." ”
"Xianggong, don't be angry." Su Jiu'er raised her eyes to look at Gu Feng and said softly, "They must have been bewitched by others, so they lost their minds." ”
Gu Feng raised his eyes to look at Su Jiu'er, with a little surprise between his eyebrows, he didn't expect Su Jiu'er to say this.
"Don't look at me like that." Su Jiu'er smiled embarrassedly, avoided Gu Feng's gaze, pursed her lips slightly, and said in a low voice, "People, the longer you live, the more you can see through." ”
"How did you know there was going to be a drought this year?" Gu Feng looked at Su Jiu'er with a calm face, and slowly asked the question in his heart.
He always felt that Su Jiu'er was very organized in doing things, as if he knew what was going to happen in the future.
The Xiongnu may be attacking, and it was Su Jiu'er who reminded him.
This year's drought was also reminded by Su Jiu'er.
"I'll go see Yangyang, he may be going to feed." Su Jiu'er hurriedly stood up, turned around and walked towards the bed.
Gu Feng looked at Su Jiu'er's back, frowned unconsciously, reached out to grab Su Jiu'er's arm, and forced Su Jiu'er to sit at the table, "Are you hiding something from me?" “
"What can I hide from you?" Su Jiu'er unconsciously lowered her eyes to the lower right, and the hand holding her sleeve tighter.
"Every time you try to escape, you look down to the right."
Gu Feng's low and magnetic voice sounded in his ears, Su Jiu'er's heartbeat was inexplicably revealed, and he raised his eyes to look at him in a panic, "Xianggong, you think too much, didn't I say it, it was the old man who told me." ”
Lowering her eyes, Su Jiu'er gasped lightly.
"If it's really the old man, then why doesn't anyone in the village store food or water?" Gu Feng leaned in front of Su Jiu'er and looked at the somewhat flustered face intently, "How are you going to explain the attack of the Huns?" ”
"Huns, Huns, they," Su Jiu'er pursed her lips slightly, and said hesitantly, "They don't farm, it's cold, and they go south every year, don't they?" ”
"But they never crossed Liangzhou before!" The thin lips slowly opened, and Gu Feng said coldly.
Su Jiu'er was really about to cry, looked down at the tea cup on the table, and whispered, "I think our family has so much food, we must be careful, the old man often says, be careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years, right?" ”
Speaking of food, Gu Feng couldn't help but laugh.
Su Jiu'er paused slightly, looked at Gu Feng in confusion, and didn't understand what Gu Feng was laughing at.
"Since you married me last year, you said that you want to save food, are you planning to make a fortune at this time?" Gu Feng looked at Su Jiu'er with a smile in his eyebrows, "At that time, it was impossible for the old man to know that there would be a drought this year!" ”
Su Jiu'er's body paused slightly, and her lips pursed.
"Why do you know this?" Gu Feng leaned in front of Su Jiu'er, stretched out his hand to clasp Su Jiu'er's chin, and asked.
