Chapter 17: What a coincidence
In the end, Lao Gu Tou had to attribute the reason to his old age, and his eyes could no longer keep up with this. But he would never say it. After all, in his cognition, he is a capable old man, what if he lets Changsheng know and no longer respects his grandfather? Of course, this may be very small, but Lao Gu Tou doesn't want others to think about himself, probably because of his self-esteem.
However, in short, the two of them gained a lot from going up the mountain this time, and even after going back, they got Gu Xiaomei's distressed reproach because they were covered in mud, and the two did not feel lost, but excitedly asked Gu Xiaomei to see their gains. Especially Changsheng, this is the first time she has caught her prey completely by her own efforts, and she was very excited at this moment, pulling Gu Xiaomei to let her see the pheasant she caught. Of course, this pheasant was only tied up with her help, but that was it, and it couldn't dampen the excitement in her heart.
"Look, this is my prey that I have tied up, and it has not given up on pecking me before, and although it hurts a little, I strangled it and fainted. Grandma Gu, am I very capable? ”
"Yo, such a big pheasant was tied up by Changsheng himself? Changsheng is really capable! I think it's much better than your grandfather. ”
The old Gu Tou doesn't want to deal with this old and young anymore, it's just a pheasant, and his little sister is ignoring the big string of prey behind? What's more, these are all traps made by themselves, how can they all become the credit of Changsheng alone? He didn't accept this. However, Lao Gu Tou knew that he would not listen to anything he said now, who made her have a more favorite person now. Speaking of which, Changsheng, this ugly girl, how did she get her little sister's blue eyes and make her like it so much? Old Gu Tou felt that this might be an unsolved mystery.
But none of this is important, what matters is the hairpin that was found on the mountain earlier. It just so happened that Xiaomei was also there now, and Old Gu Tou took out this hairpin with excitement and showed it to Gu Xiaomei.
Gu Xiaomei is not young, and she often does some embroidery work when she is young, so her eyes are not very good, and she can't see what it is clearly at this time, but she is just surprised by the excitement of the second brother. However, she thought about it carefully, her second brother was not the kind of person who was easily excited, so she took a closer look and took a closer look, Changsheng was not interested in these, so she stared at Grandma Gu at this time. As a result, I saw the muscles in the corners of Grandma Gu's eyes twitch slightly, but they quickly calmed down, and I felt a little strange, but she didn't say anything, just quietly observed.
At this time, Lao Gu Tou looked at his little sister excitedly, thinking that he could hear the answer he wanted from her.
"This is not what you gave ...... A gift from the One? I still remember that the second brother caught a fish in the river more than ten miles away from our village, and at that time I thought it was a branch, but when I took it back and washed it carefully, I found that it was actually a crude silver bar. I still remember that you polished it for a long time before you had a vague hairpin, and I still hated it as ugly. It's good for her, she didn't dislike it. Later, didn't you find this thing later? Why did you suddenly find it now? ”
"By the way, I knew you remembered. This is the hairpin in the beginning. I also thought that I couldn't find it a long time ago, but I didn't expect to go up the mountain today, and Changsheng accidentally saw it. Tell me how coincidental it is, things that have been lost for decades, things that have been blackened, and there is still a little silver part, and it is so coincidental that Changsheng saw it, what a coincidence......"
Old Gu Tou was completely immersed in the memories of the past, and it seemed that he would not wake up for a while. It was the first time for Changsheng to see Old Gu Tou like this, and he was a little surprised, but Gu Xiaomei was used to it, and now she was even more accustomed to calling Changsheng over, and the two of them planned together how to deal with and place these prey.
"Grandma Gu, grandpa said that catching these prey is to make up for your body."
Gu Xiaomei's movements were paused, and she was a little emotional. Over the years, it seems that the second brother is the only one who remembers his body all the time. In fact, where is she so vulnerable? I was used to those dark wounds in the early years.
And how can you eat so many things?
"Your grandfather is talking about playing, how can he eat it all? Let's slaughter and eat these badly injured people, and send the rest to the town and sell them. When is it not eaten to eat? ”
Changsheng didn't know how to answer, because what Grandma Gu said seemed to be very reasonable, at this time, she suddenly remembered the kind old woman she had met on the road before, she seemed to have said that she was looking for something, and that description was a bit similar to the hairpin in her grandfather's hand.
So he spoke softly to Grandma Gu.
"The grandmother I saw on the road before was sitting on the ground, and she said she was looking for a shiny and beautiful strip of things, a bit like this one in my grandfather's hand......"
"Smack."
The prey held in Gu Xiaomei's hand fell with a snap, and when Changsheng raised his head to look, he found that there was a slight panic in Grandma Gu's eyes, and he was a little surprised. Grandma, what's wrong?
But then, Lao Gu Strode over, took Changsheng over, and opened his mouth in disbelief.
"You say, what did you say she was looking for?"
Old Gutou's face was a little terrifying, and Changsheng swallowed his saliva, but he still forced his mouth to speak.
"It's just a shiny, beautiful thing. I don't know exactly what it is......"
Put Changsheng down, Lao Gutou's eyes were very complicated, and Changsheng, who was still young, couldn't quite understand it, but he just felt that his grandfather's mood was not very good at this time. Why?
Gu Xiaomei didn't dare to disturb the old Gu Tou who was stuck in her memories at this time, so she had to take Changsheng aside and comfort her in a whisper.
"Don't worry, he'll be fine in a while."
"Grandpa, what's wrong with him?"
Changsheng was a little worried, but Gu Xiaomei didn't tell her, just kept stroking Changsheng's head with her rough big hands and straightening out her messy hair.
"Alas, this is an adult's business, and you will know when you grow up."
Changsheng didn't understand very much, but she didn't ask again sensibly, but from that day on, Lao Gutou's mood was not very good. The collective performance is that I don't like to talk very much. Especially Gu Xiaomei was also invited back by her children and grandchildren, and there were two more Changsheng and Lao Gu Tou left in this remote courtyard.
Although Lao Gu Tou was not in the mood to take care of Changsheng, she was very conscious, and whenever it was time to squat on the horse, she meticulously followed Lao Gu Tou's teachings.
At first, she could only hold out for half an hour, and at the cost of almost fainting. However, concentration may be one of the advantages of Changsheng, of course, it may also be because Changsheng doesn't know how normal people practice martial arts, so he follows Lao Gutou's not very normal method.
