Chapter 144: Seeking a Son
The old woman in Gebu clothes knelt on the ground, tugging at the sleeves of Zhou Xing's robe, crying and begging.
said that it is an old woman, but in fact, there is a difference between the concept of an old woman in Gongsun Yan's impression, and the age of people here is not easy to judge by appearance.
I saw her lying on her stomach on the ground, and the two bones on her back protruded high.
Grabbing Zhou Jingyi's hand, it was thin and black, with thick calluses and cracked cuts, and his nails were long and yellow, like bird claws.
On the face full of furrows, there are some black and yellow marks in the wrinkles and folds, and I don't know if it is a stain from the sun or the dirt accumulated by personal cleaning.
Gray hair, sparsely tied, tied up with a wooden hairpin with similar branches.
Gongsun Yan stood at the corner of the high wall.
She also knows that there is no basis for such superstitious taboos, but it is an indisputable fact that she is currently serving filial piety.
I believe that if she insists on going in, no one will dare to put her beak.
However, no one dares to beak it, which does not mean that there will be no resentment.
If this resentment extends to the two children who are about to be born in the hospital, it will be troublesome.
At the moment when Gongsun Yan weighed and hesitated, she didn't notice the change in the expressions of everyone present.
Zhou Jing directly pulled the corner of the robe out of the old woman's hand, and his expression changed, the parenting etiquette he had learned allowed him to control it, and he didn't kick it over.
"What an ignorant fool! What kind of character is Yan Niangzi, it is your blessing to be willing to come, who collided with whom? ”
Zhou Xing followed Zhao Yun to Lu Long, but he did not move the whole family out of Guzhu as usual.
On the contrary, he also sent his eldest son to Zhao Xi's side to follow, on the one hand, he hoped that the eldest son would learn from Zhao Xi, but also expressed his loyalty.
Now Zhou Jing does not have a clear responsibility in Guzhu, but what he does and thinks is no different from that of a doorman.
He had been pestered by this ignorant woman for the past few days, but it was still within the limits of tolerance.
At this time, I don't know if I have tolerated it in the past few days, so that this foolish woman in the mountains and fields has some illusions, and she dares to arrange the lady of the main family?
Zhou Jing was about to call someone to drag her down, but he heard the young girl's cheering in the distance.
"Shut up!"
When Zhou Jing heard the prestige, he saw a group of people standing around the corner, and it was the maid Alan who had been following the lady who had been following the lady.
Alan often cooks tea and water in Yan Niangzi's study, helps sort out some documents, and has a quiet temperament, Zhou Jing rarely sees her show such an angry face.
Not to mention Zhou Jing, Gongsun Yan has never seen Alan so angry.
In the distance, he heard the woman's nonsense, and Alan was worried that she would say something rude and crazy again, so he crossed Gongsun Yan for the first time, stepped forward to cover Gongsun Yan behind him, and squeezed Zhang Zhu away a little.
The long knife at his waist was already two inches out of its sheath, and he was about to step forward, when he was squeezed by Alain.
He was stunned for a moment, and when he looked back, Alain made a pretty face and gestured to the old woman at him.
Zhang Zhi was stunned for a moment, then strode forward, and a guard behind him spontaneously followed.
walked in front of Zhou Jing and arched his hand at Zhou Jing.
Zhou Jing was stunned for a moment, then nodded at Zhang Zhu and stepped out of the way of the old woman.
The old woman on the ground was already stunned when she was scolded by Zhou Jing.
After hearing the scolding again, she saw two armor soldiers striding towards her, and the right side of the face of a man at the head was covered with hideous scars.
At this time, the woman realized that she was not at home, and she was not facing a daughter-in-law who was as mute as a wooden person.
After reacting, she shuddered and fell to the ground like chaff.
A large hand reached out and grabbed her by the collar.
Such a rickety, short woman was carried effortlessly in her hands, like a chicken.
Holding a long knife in one hand and a woman in the other, he walked out.
In the troubled times, he has been fighting in the north for many years, and there is no distinction between men, women, and children in his eyes.
The guards who came with him were also former Bai Ma Yizhong sergeants, and they had a very tacit understanding.
Seeing that Zhang Zhu had grabbed someone, the guard arched his hand at Zhou Jingyi, "Mr. Zhou, is there a shovel in the courtyard?" ”
"Yes, yes." Zhou Jing nodded, "Later, I will order the servants to help the two of you deal with it." ”
What do you want to deal with?
Gongsun Yan stood in the distance and opened his mouth slightly.
Although she knew that this era was particular about the death of kings and ministers, she was still a little stunned when she saw that Alan had reached a tacit understanding with only a few people making eye contact.
What is the sense of déjà vu of this underworld force that kills people and buries them?
Seeing that Zhang was about to leave with the old woman in tow, Gongsun Yan hurriedly stopped.
"An Yuan!"
The previous displeasure had dissipated, and Gongsun Yan resisted the urge to hold his forehead, and asked Zhang Zhu to put down the old woman who was trembling like a quail.
At this time, there was no need for Gongsun Yan to weigh it again, she patted Alan on the arm comfortingly, and slowly stepped forward with her.
With a frown, he threw the old woman out of his hand.
The thin woman rolled twice on the ground, and her bones lay on the slabs with pain.
But she didn't care about the pain on her body, her hair was unkempt, she knelt on the ground, her forehead touched the bluestone slab, and she made a bangbang sound.
Although she hadn't seen it, she already knew that the girl in front of her was the owner of this place.
She didn't dare to look up, the two trembled, and kept kowtowing.
The girl in front of her can determine the life and death of their whole family in one word.
Gongsun Yan listened to the pain, but at this time, she had no way to blame and question the Alan Zhang who was protecting her.
"Alright."
Gongsun Yan walked straight past the old woman.
The two men who had been snooping behind the door breathed a sigh of relief.
One old and one young, one in front of the other, ran in front of him, passed by Gongsun Yan, and helped the old woman who fell crookedly.
They kept watching from behind the door, and even when the old woman was dragged away, they did not make a sound.
At this time, seeing that the lady of the main family had the intention of sparing, she hurriedly ran out and knelt in a row with the old woman, and kept saying words of thanks in her mouth.
Gongsun Yan didn't look at them and walked straight into the courtyard.
The old woman was supposed to be the wife and mother of the two men.
No matter how ignorant and foolish her ideas may be, her starting point is to preserve her family.
The people she defended, but they hid behind the door and snooped.
Gongsun Yan frowned, and disgust grew in his heart.
Two guards entered the courtyard first.
There were several ragged people behind the courtyard gate, old and young, who should be a family, all lying behind the door and peeping.
When he saw the two guards enter, they scattered like flies, and ran far away to the corner of the porch.
Gongsun Yan then stepped into the courtyard.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, she couldn't help frowning.
The flowers and trees in the front yard were covered with all kinds of clothes, which were torn apart, and there was defecation in a corner of the garden, I don't know if it was a child's doing.
The sanitary environment is not enough, and there is a simple altar made of boards in the middle of the front yard.
On the altar were some dry rice supported by leaves, which should have been served by the cook of the main house.
There is a rough handmade wood carving, and a stone slab with a corner missing.
Gongsun Yan took a closer look, only to find that it was a wooden carved negative toad, and a naked villain was drawn in a stick figure on the stone slab.
The villain is very poorly drawn, the plate looks like two mung bean eyes on the face, the noodles seem to have limbs, and only one place is very detailed.
Under the crotch of the villain, an object is exaggeratedly drawn, and the organs are complete.
The purpose of this altar is very clear, they are sacrificing to ask for children.
