Chapter 56: Mass Graves
It's amazing, if it's someone else who dies, why do you have to ask what's going on, why did a good person run to the back mountain and be eaten by wild beasts? I have to find an explanation for this. But in the case of Gu Dashan and Gu Xiaoquan, the family members of the two didn't say a word, just wrapped people in a roll of straw mats and found a place to bury them at random.
In addition, from beginning to end, no one thought that Changsheng did this. After all, how big are the grown, and how old are the two second-rate sons? One of them is bigger than the two Changsheng, even if he bleeds, maybe he fell to the ground and was injured somewhere, what does it have to do with Changsheng?
What? Say that Changsheng has studied martial arts? How long has it been? Even if you really learn three moves and two styles from Lao Gutou, can you beat two big men? This is just nonsense. What's more, Changsheng said that it was the two dogs who bit them, but Lao Gutou is really a good hand, he can even raise dogs, look at the other dogs in the village, like a plague chicken, listless, and then look at these two dogs, the one raised is called a fat and strong. It's just that from today onwards, other people who want to fight the idea of immortality will be much more honest, after all, there are two hunting dogs at home! In this day and age, the slightest injury can lead to death, and they don't want to take that risk.
However, Boss Gu came alone that night, and when he sat in the house, he also felt depressed, and the limping but still energetic figure before had fallen asleep underground at this time. Boss Gu didn't say anything superfluous, and just spoke with a straight face at this time.
"Changsheng, tell me if you have any problems, we are relatives after all."
Changsheng sat at the other end of the table, looking at Boss Gu quietly, not fulfilling his promise, just silent.
Boss Gu also knew that Changsheng had always been a taciturn person, so he didn't mind that she didn't speak at this time, just looked around and asked directly.
"Changsheng, what are you missing? Can you tell me, is there enough food, vegetables, firewood? ”
"It's all enough, grandpa prepared a lot for me before, and now it's enough."
"That's fine."
“……”
What followed was endless silence, but what did the two have to say? The age gap was too big, and there was no common language, and after a period of silence, Boss Gu got up and prepared to leave.
I just hesitated for a while, but finally took something out of my arms and put it on the table.
It was a somewhat familiar dagger, a dagger forged by Lao Gutou. At this time, he was wrapped in a thick cloth and lay quietly on the table, revealing a little handle part, which looked cold, even if it was small, it still had a strong deterrent effect. Because this is a dagger that has seen blood.
Gu Boss's voice was low, and he didn't mean to blame, not even to advise.
"Take it away, and protect yourself in the future."
Boss Gu had been gone for a long time, and Changsheng was looking at the dagger, and in the end, she still put the dagger away. After all, this is a relic of grandpa, and now it is a handful less.
The next half a month is much cleaner, Changsheng has gradually improved, and now he lives in a small courtyard with the old ox and two hunting dogs, although Changsheng is still sad in his heart every day, but it is always much better than when he was drowsy after lying down for most of the day.
This morning, Changsheng was cooking rice, and a quick knock on the door sounded, which turned out to be Boss Gu. I saw that he looked anxious, and a little apologetic and embarrassed, but finally said his request.
"Changsheng, my daughter-in-law is about to give birth, and the situation is not very good, I have to go to the doctor in the town to see. But the cows in the village began to have diarrhea this morning, and they did not have the strength to hurry. So I thought ......"
Boss Gu's face was a little red, originally he said that he would take care of Changsheng, but he didn't expect that he would ask Changsheng for help.
"I'll pay, don't you think, think it's okay?"
Changsheng naturally wouldn't be unwilling, after all, those were two lives, and for the sake of that dagger before, he had to help.
When I arrived at Gu Lao's house, I found that his house was in chaos, and Gu Lao's wife was also sick. There is also the painful moaning of Gu's eldest daughter-in-law, which makes people very anxious.
So Changsheng simply went with him, at least he could take care of the old scalper's emotions. She has been with the old scalper for a long time, and she has also been taught to drive by her grandfather, so she can help a little.
It's just that the Gu family didn't go well today, it was snowing all over the ground, and it took most of the hour to rush to the town, but the only old doctor in the town died the day before yesterday because the weather was too cold. There was no way, everyone could only brave the cold wind and rush to the county seat.
Fortunately, there was also a female elder of the Gu family on the ox cart, who had given birth many times, and had a little understanding of giving birth, so she was able to encourage the daughter-in-law of the Gu family along the way, and barely insisted on getting to the vicinity of the county seat.
When he saw the grove three miles away from the city, Boss Gu's eldest son almost cried with joy.
"It's almost there, it's almost there! Daughter-in-law, you hold on, after this mass burial! After passing through this grove, we will reach the county. ”
Changsheng had also followed Lao Gu Tou to the city before, so he naturally knew about this mass grave, and when he heard the voice of the Gu family, he subconsciously glanced over there, except for the whiteness, there were only those graves that showed a little.
Just as Changsheng was about to withdraw her gaze, her body stiffened slightly, and she seemed to see a little bit just now...... Red traces?
"What's wrong with Changsheng?"
Boss Gu and Changsheng sat in front of the car and drove together, in addition to Changsheng's old ox, there was also a cow borrowed from a neighboring village, otherwise he really couldn't pull this car.
There was a faint groan of pain from the carriage, and Changsheng stopped talking, and concentrated on driving the ox cart to the county seat in a hurry.
The group almost rushed to the city at a gallop, and the soldiers guarding the door found that something was wrong, and also helped contact the hospital, and the group was so busy that they almost hit the back of the head, and finally sent the pregnant woman to the hospital safely.
Half a day passed, and the pregnant woman finally gave birth to the child safely, and she was a very well-behaved female doll. The family breathed a sigh of relief. When the eldest son of the Gu family heard the news that his wife and daughter were safe, his legs were even weaker, and he almost fell to the ground.
It's just that because of the injury, the daughter-in-law of the Gu family still has to recuperate in the hospital, at least half a month.
Boss Gu's family immediately decided to rent a house in the county for a period of time, and Boss Gu also warmly invited Changsheng to live with them. But Changsheng refused. It was still early, and she could get back before dark. By the way, he bought some common medicines and purchased some supplies in the medical hall, and Changsheng drove out of the city in an ox cart.
After leaving the city for three miles, Changsheng saw the grove again, this time there was nothing urgent, Changsheng always remembered the little red trace he had seen before, so he stopped at the edge of the forest.
