Chapter Twenty-Seven: Why Don't You Die Slowly?
Time flies, and two months have passed since the first cold wind blew down from the mountain. The weather is getting colder and colder day by day, and it seems that it has directly crossed the autumn and directly arrived in the cold winter. It's so cold that even though it's not snowing yet, it's already starting to freeze.
In the morning, Changsheng washed his face and spilled half a basin of water, and after eating breakfast, it had already condensed into ice. Changsheng ran over to take a look, and even the sink for the old scalper to drink water was covered with a thin layer of ice, no wonder the old scalper was mooing just now, it turned out that he couldn't drink the water.
"Grandpa, grandpa, the sink is frozen!"
"Got it. Don't run around, be careful of falling......"
"Ahh
Before she finished speaking, Changsheng had already fallen and squatted, but she was much more skinny, and she got up from the ground again. He happily brought an iron skewer to Lao Gutou, who shook his head helplessly, then chiseled a part of the ice with an iron skewer, and then brought over a bucket of warm water to make the silent old scalper drink a good time.
Looking at the old scalper drinking water, the old Gu Tou was faintly worried. This year, it was too cold and it looks like it will be a long winter. I'm not afraid of anything else, but those old people in the village can't stand the cold the most. Winter is the season when the elderly are most likely to die, not to mention those who are not in good health, and this winter may be even more difficult......
"Grandpa?"
ββ¦β¦ Let's not go hunting today, let's go collect some dry firewood, lest we get wet with snow and can't start a fire. β
Although the weather is not cold, Lao Gutou has already lit the kang. After all, the immortal body can't withstand the toss. If the cold winter wax moon frostbite again, it is even more difficult to cure. Anyway, they are next to the mountain, not to mention anything else, there is still a lot of dry firewood.
Changsheng has no opinion. The old and the young staggered towards the mountain. There was also a thin layer of ice on the creek on the road, but you could still hear the rattling of the flow inside. Occasionally, you can see a small fish or two swimming quickly in it.
Seeing this, Changsheng picked up a stone and smashed a small hole in the ice, and those small fish suddenly rushed to the vicinity of the hole like a treasure, and the fish heads were crowded.
Lao Gu didn't pay attention to this childish behavior. In his opinion, those small fish can't even be stuffed between his teeth, so it doesn't matter if he catches them or not, it's just that he has a headache and Changsheng's small body. Now the prey Changsheng can still carry a pheasant or something, but the dry firewood still can't hold much.
So it's just because she's worried that something will happen to her at home by herself, and it's useless to be serious.
But Changsheng still tried very hard to drag a tree trunk the thickness of a baby's arm down the mountain.
"How long will it take you to get enough firewood for a meal of firewood?"
Lao Gu was carrying a large bundle of firewood and looked at Xiao Changsheng helplessly. This kid looks so sad, if he doesn't have himself, I'm afraid he won't even survive this winter.
"It's okay grandpa, although it's slow, I've been working, one by one, just take your time."
"Well, you're quite reasonable."
"Hey, hey, hey......"
The two of them, who were talking to each other, suddenly heard a commotion from the bottom of the mountain. And the voice was getting closer and closer, the two glanced at each other, and somehow, Lao Gu suddenly had a little bad premonition in his heart.
"Let's go down and have a look."
Before they had completely reached the bottom of the mountain, someone had already seen the old and the young, who were so anxious as if they were something, and their faces were very ugly.
"Where have you two been? Forget it, the village chief has fallen! I want to see you now! β
Boss Gu, who rushed over immediately afterwards, glanced at the old Gu head with a condensed face, his eyes were red, and his eyes were full of red bloodshots. In the past half a year, although the relationship between Boss Gu and Boss Gu cannot be described as friendly, at least it is no longer the hostile state it was before. It's just that the two of them have always had nothing to say, and today because of the critically ill Village Chief Gu, Boss Gu is willing to bend down and talk to Old Gu.
"My dad wants to see you."
ββ¦β¦β
Old Gu didn't speak, and there was silence around him. Even the person who came to deliver the message noticed something unusual, and at this moment he held his breath and did not dare to speak.
Seeing that Old Gu Tou didn't speak for a long time, Boss Gu frowned, he thought that Old Gu Tou still thought that the grievances of decades ago still remembered the grudge, and he couldn't help but feel a little impatient in his heart. But because his eagerly awaited father was still looking forward to it, there was no way, Boss Gu could only repeat his words.
"If you're okay now, go see my dad. He would love to see you. β
Changsheng stared at Boss Gu and Boss Gu nervously, she felt that the atmosphere seemed to be a little wrong, but she couldn't say what was wrong, she just felt that Grandpa was not in a good mood at this time.
The two sides were at a stalemate for a long time, and Lao Gu Tou followed the cold wind blowing down and looked at the middle of the village, as if he saw the sick man.
After all, he threw the firewood off his shoulder and strode out.
Changsheng immediately threw down his firewood as well, followed closely and grabbed the rough big hand that was curled up tightly on Lao Gu's head with his small hand. Because Changsheng obviously found that grandpa was desperately enduring at this moment, and even his fists were about to pinch blood!
When he walked to the spacious house of Village Chief Gu's house, Changsheng was surprised to find that most of the people in the village had come, especially the elderly. Old Gu Tou's eyes turned around in the courtyard, and Boss Gu immediately stepped forward, guardedly blocked Old Gu Tou's sight with his body, and then led him to the main house.
Old Gu Tou sneered, didn't care, just strode in in the blink of an eye.
There are a lot of people in this room, most of them are some old people, Changsheng is close to Lao Gutou's legs, some people want to speak, but after looking at Lao Gutou, they feel that this old man has not been easy to mess with, so they all shut up in time.
Old Gu Tou stood far away, looking at the old man who was lying on the bed and couldn't move. He shouldn't have seen Gu Quan for about two months, right? How did he age so fast?
Dry, it looks like no one is present.
"Ahem, ahem, ahemβ"
Village Chief Gu let out an uncontrollable cough, and it took a long time to stop this crazy itch, and looked at the old Gu who was standing very far away from the bed.
"Second child, you're here."
"You didn't call me?"
It was difficult for Old Gu Tou to hold back his rebuttal to Village Chief Gu, so he simply couldn't bear it.
Boss Gu looked at each other angrily, but he couldn't stop Old Gu. After all, his mouth grows on himself, and he can't say whatever he wants.
Fortunately, Village Chief Gu didn't care, he sat up straight with the support of his children and grandchildren, and then looked at Old Gu Tou and let out a wry smile.
"Yes. I called you here. Dick, I'm going to die. β
"I can see it."
ββ¦β¦ You don't have anything to say to me? β
ββ¦β¦β
Lao Gu held his head for a while, and finally spoke.
"You, that, or, you're going to die slowly?"
