Chapter 51: The Source of Silver

The next day, Gu Bo woke up, and the high fever subsided, which made everyone happy, and Dr. Xu was also invited, and after checking the injury, he also expressed an optimistic judgment, at least Gu Bo's life was saved.

Hearing that Gu Bo woke up, Zhong Yanze and Cao He, two village elders, also heard the news and inquired about the situation at that time.

From Gu Bo's account, we know that there were two murderers that night, but it was dark at night and they were suddenly attacked, so they did not see the faces of the two murderers clearly.

"Gu Bo, think about it again, there were any abnormal circumstances at that time. From Gu Bo's mouth, except for the fact that there were two people who committed the murderer, there were no other more valuable clues, and Zhong Yanze asked carefully again.

Gu Bo recalled for a moment, and said in a weak voice: "That night I found that the ridge of a field was opened, and the water in it was flowing out and flowing into another field. ”

Zhong Yanze's eyes moved, and he asked, "How long has it been since you were attacked by the murderer?"

Gu Bo said: "It didn't take long for me to finish this thing, and two black shadows came from the ground, and they did it to me without saying a word." ”

Zhong Yanze and Cao He, the two village elders, glanced at each other with solemn expressions, and Jiang Yun on the side also listened thoughtfully.

The two villagers asked a few more questions, but Gu Bo's voice became even weaker, and Dr. Xu said on the side: "Gu Bo is still very weak now, so it is not appropriate to disturb more, everyone should withdraw first, so that Gu Bo can live and recuperate." ”

Seeing this, Zhong Yanze and Cao He didn't ask any more, got up and went out of the house, and Jiang Yun also went out.

Doctor Xu said a few words to Youlan who was guarding the couch, and was about to leave with the medicine box on his back, when Gu Bo stopped him.

"Gu Bo, do you have anything to tell me? Dr. Xu walked back and asked.

"Doctor Xu, this life of the old man was saved by you, Doctor Xu is very gracious, and the old man is grateful. Gu Bo said in a weak voice.

Doctor Xu said: "Uncle Gu said this, saving the dead and helping the injured is the responsibility of the doctor. ”

Gu Bo said: "I know that my injuries this time are very serious, and it must have taken a lot of Dr. Xu's efforts to save them. ”

Doctor Xu said: "Gu Bo, what are you doing here, I said, saving the dead and healing the sick is the duty of our doctors. ”

Gu Bo was silent for a moment, and then said, "I just want to ask Dr. Xu, how much silver did the owner spend to heal his old and decrepit injuries?"

Doctor Xu comforted him and said, "Gu Bo asked what to do with this, you just take care of your injuries now, and don't worry about other things." ”

Gu Bo said: "Of course I have to ask clearly, and ask Doctor Xu to tell me truthfully, otherwise I will feel uneasy." ”

Dr. Xu hesitated, and said in his heart that if I told him bluntly, he was afraid that he would be even more panicked and uneasy in his heart, which would not be conducive to the recovery of his injuries, so he had to tell some lies and coax him over.

Thinking of this, he gently walked by and said, "This treatment probably cost two or three taels of silver. ”

"Two or three taels of silver, so much? Gu Bo muttered to himself.

"Grandpa, you can recuperate in peace now, don't think about it anymore. Youlan on the side couldn't help but persuade softly.

Gu Bo was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Doctor Xu, tell me the truth, can I still stand up with these two feet?" ”

Doctor Xu hesitated for a moment, decided to deceive him, and said, "Uncle Gu, don't worry, if you recuperate diligently, it is still very likely that you will recover." ”

"Is that true? Gu Bo asked.

Dr. Xu nodded. Gu Bo didn't speak for a while, not knowing what he was thinking. Seeing this, Dr. Xu said a few more words to Youlan, and then left with the medicine box on his back.

After Dr. Xu left, Youlan said: "Grandpa, Dr. Xu said, you have just woken up now, and your body is weak, you can feed some hot rice porridge to drink first, and I will bring it to you." ”

Gu Bo didn't speak, Youlan only agreed to him, got up and went to the kitchen, came back with a bowl of hot rice porridge, sat down in front of the couch, and began to feed each other rice porridge spoonful by spoonful.

After feeding a few bites, Gu Bo closed his mouth and stopped eating, and Youlan asked: "Grandpa, why don't you eat it, you can eat a little more, so that you can get better faster." ”

Gu Bo looked at the other party tightly and asked in a calm voice: "Xiaolan, you tell grandpa the truth, how much money did the owner spend to heal grandpa this time?"

Youlan bit her lip and said in a low voice, "Grandpa, what are you doing asking about these more." ”

Gu Bo sighed and said, "How can I not ask more, grandpa is dragging down the owner." ”

"Grandpa, don't say that, okay. Youlan persuaded softly.

Gu Bo asked again: "Tell me quickly, how much money did the owner spend?"

Youlan said softly helplessly: "Didn't Doctor Xu say it just now, it cost two or three taels of silver." ”

Gu Bo said: "Is it really two or three taels of silver?"

Youlan snorted, and said, "Doctor Xu is a good person, seeing that grandpa is pitiful, he also received some less." ”

"However, two or three taels of silver are not a lot. Gu Bo said.

Seeing the other party's self-blaming look, Youlan didn't want the other party to worry about it, so she put down the porridge bowl and said, "Grandpa, you wait." ”

As he spoke, he ran to the corner of the house, picked up the messy debris, and took out an object from a waste clay pot, which was the money bag with silver coins that Jiang Yun handed over to her.

"Grandpa, look!" Youlan played like a treasure and handed the money bag to Gu Bo.

"What is this. Gu Bo asked.

"It's a money bag, and it's full of silver. Youlan was afraid that the other party would not believe it, so she loosened the mouth of the bag and poured out pieces of silver ingots with white flowers and silver coins from the government.

Seeing so many white flowers and silver coins, Gu Bo was stunned for a while, and said for a long time: "Where did so much silver come from, is it ...... No, it won't......"

Saying that, her expression was extremely anxious and excited, Youlan was startled when she saw it, and said, "Grandpa, what's wrong with you?"

Gu Bo looked distressed, and said: "So much silver, is it not that the owner sold the family's land in exchange, in order to cure my disease, the owner sold the land of his ancestors, I am a sinner......

Youlan hurriedly comforted: "Grandpa, you are wrong, Gongzi did not sell the land, and all this silver was earned by Gongzi." ”

Gu Bo said: "What you said is true, there is no land sale?"

Youlan nodded again and again, and said, "Youlan didn't lie to grandpa, Gongzi really didn't sell land, and all this silver was earned by Gongzi." ”

Gu Bo was still skeptical: "How did he earn it, and where did he get so much money all at once?"

This question stopped Youlan, Jiang Yun didn't say the origin of this silver, she didn't ask much, and now under Gu Bo's questioning, she couldn't answer.

Gu Bo's face was even more ugly, and he suddenly pointed to a large square camphor cabinet at the head of the bed, and ordered: "Xiaolan, you go and open the cabinet, under the cabinet, there is a mahogany box, you go and get the box for grandpa." ”

"Grandpa, what are you doing? Youlan asked puzzled.

Gu Bo seemed very anxious, and urged: "Don't ask more, you can go as soon as you are told to go." ”

Youlan had to go according to her words, the big camphor cabinet was very heavy, she opened it with a lot of effort, after opening it, she rummaged in it for a while, and sure enough, she saw a mahogany box lying underneath, and immediately took it out and held it in front of Gu Bo.

Gu Bo took the mahogany box, the box was locked, he shuddered and touched the bedside a few times, found a key, and opened the mahogany box.

After the mahogany box was opened, Youlan looked curiously and saw that what was contained inside was not the gold, silver, jewelry and other valuable things she had thought it contained, but just yellowed old pieces of paper with words written on them, and some red seals, handprints and the like.

She is a careful person, she has seen this thing before, and she suddenly understands that this should be the title deed, and the Jiang family's title deed should be here. In the past, because Jiang Yun was young, these things were kept by Gu Bo.

Gu Bo carefully looked through the title deed and the house deed in the box, and found that they were intact, so he completely relieved himself, put the things away again, locked the box, handed it back to Youlan, and told her to put it back away.

Youlan Yiyan put the mahogany box containing the Jiang family's land deed and house deed back into the square camphor wood cabinet and re-covered it. After doing this, she walked back, and Gu Bo told her again: "That mahogany box, don't tell Childe." ”

When Youlan heard this, she felt a little resistant in her heart, she felt that these things belonged to Childe, and Grandpa should not hide it from him, so she immediately pouted and said, "Grandpa, why don't you want Xiaolan to tell Childe?"

Gu Bo said: "You should also know, these are the Jiang family's house deeds, land deeds, very important, now the son is still young, does not understand world affairs, and is not firm in his work, if he knows these things, he will be confused for a while, and he will sell the land and sell the land, it will be bad, I want to guard against him." ”

Youlan is now a mess of Jiang Yunzheng's loyalty, and when she heard her grandfather's words, she was unhappy, pouting and distinguishing: "Childe is not such a person, Childe will not sell land and land, not only that, didn't Childe take home so much silver." Childe is the person in charge, these things will be handed over to Childe sooner or later!"

"yes, it shouldn't be, so much silver, what the hell is going on. ”

Gu Bo muttered to himself, and then suddenly thought of something, and suddenly his expression changed greatly, and he hurriedly urged Youlan to say: "Xiaolan, you go quickly, go and call Gongzi quickly!"

Youlan didn't know what was going on, but when she saw her grandfather's panicked expression, as if something extremely terrifying had happened, her heart couldn't help but jump suddenly, and she didn't have time to ask more, so she hurriedly ran out to find Jiang Yun.

Jiang Yun was sending Zhong Yanze at this time, Cao He and the two villagers came back, as soon as they entered the courtyard gate, they saw Youlan running to him in a panic, after hearing that Gu Bo was looking for him, he came to Gu Bo's house, and saw the ugly look on the other party's face, he couldn't help but be surprised, I didn't know what happened, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Gu Bo, what's wrong?"
