Chapter Seventy-Eight: Departure
The Gu family really felt very sorry for Gu Jingcheng, and was afraid that he would not be able to rest well due to the bumps on the road, so they specially spent money to rent a carriage.
And because they had to leave early in the morning, Gu Feng and Gu Hai didn't go to the fields today, and after breakfast, they were busy helping them carry their luggage to the carriage.
"If you have something to do, I remember to write back, and my mother told the village chief to go to the academy every two days to see if you have written back.
And Xiaomu, you have to take care of yourself, go out and Jingcheng to grow a few more eyes, but don't dare to be deceived casually. ”
"I know, mother."
Before Gu Jingcheng could reply, she looked at Li with tears in her eyes, very aggrieved, "I will miss my mother and brothers and sisters-in-law." ”
After staying in this house for so long, why did she not adapt to it when she heard that she was going to leave and would not come back in the future.
And then I thought of the Li family, they usually treat her, and she will never feel such warmth when she goes out in the future, she brushed it without holding back her tears, and pouted with Li Shidao.
"Mother...... I can't bear you. ”
"Such a big girl, why is she still so unbearable? If you miss your mother, write back, but you can't cry. ”
Li blamed Su Xiaomu on his lips, but he still wiped her clean with his hands and patted her back like a child.
"Okay, okay, let's have a good rest with Jingcheng on the road later, but Fucheng you two have more things to do."
"Hmmm......"
She was aggrieved and responded.
Su Xiaomu turned back to get into the carriage step by step, and before she could lift her feet, the village chief took many villagers to their house.
Before the person entered the courtyard, he heard his urgent voice first: "Is Jingcheng gone?" If you don't leave, just wait for us! ”
The village chief wiped his sweat while running, and the villagers who followed him wrapped a bag of silver, and after they stopped, they gasped for breath and said to Gu Jingcheng: "This is the travel fee that the people in the village have made up for you, although the silver is not very much, but it is everyone's heart." ”
"Village chief, why am I embarrassed to accept this?"
Gu Jingcheng waved his hand again and again, he didn't expect the people in the village to be so enthusiastic about him.
The always cold face seemed to have cracks at this moment, revealing a trace of shame: "The elders of the family have already prepared silver money for me, so don't bother everyone." ”
"Eh, Jingcheng, you don't care if you talk like this, you are the most promising offspring in our village.
Now that I'm going to take the exam, how can we help you a little more? It's just some money, and everyone can get it together. ”
The village chief took the money from the hands of the villagers and stuffed it directly into his hands, with an unquestionable look: "Hurry up and collect the money, if you don't take it again, you will look down on the village chief and me!" ”
Having said that, Gu Jingcheng just didn't want to collect money, so he had to collect money.
He took the money bag in the village chief's hand, took two steps back and respectfully bowed to the village chief, and then looked at the other villagers and said: "Everyone, Jingcheng will definitely remember it, if there is really a day of soaring in the future, I will definitely not forget you." ”
"Good! Well said Jingcheng! The people in our village just want to have one heart, and no one can forget everyone when they are developed! ”
The village chief was very satisfied with Gu Jingcheng's attitude, and he patted him on the shoulder several times.
But I don't know why, Su Xiaomu always felt that the last sentence said by the village chief was meaningful, and his eyes were a little strange.
But she didn't care much about it, after all, among the villagers who came to send Gu Jingcheng, she found a very interesting person.
The girl Zhao, who hadn't seen her for a long time, stood in the crowd and looked at Gu Jingcheng with affection, her eyes were soft and about to leach out of water.
It's a pity, this childhood sweetheart failed to achieve a positive result, which is so distressing.
Look, if you want to send off your lover, you can't come up and speak in a bright way, so you can only quietly stage a good show in the crowd alone.
She got into the carriage first.
It didn't take long for Gu Jingcheng to come up, and Su Xiaomu felt that the two of them were in such a relatively closed space, and her breathing was a little nervous, so she opened the curtain and looked out.
At this time, I saw a few children looking at their distant frame and waving pitifully.
She softened for a moment, and tears began to roll in her eyes again.
"Now it's just the two of us here, they can't see your reaction, you don't have to make such a reluctant look, I won't comfort you like a mother."
Gu Jingcheng stared at her reddened eyes, originally wanting to comfort her, but somehow it turned into such words.
He was slightly stunned at first, and then when he reacted and wanted to remedy a few words, Su Xiaomu unceremoniously replied to him.
"Yes, I'm acting for you like this, so the two of us are a husband and wife, you can't cry, you are ruthless, I can't fill in some human touch for you?
Save people from saying that you are not close to people in the back, and you are a nerd who only knows how to read! ”
She deliberately emphasized the word "nerd", and after finishing speaking, she closed her eyes directly, leaned on the soft pillow and ignored it.
Seeing her like this, Gu Jingcheng suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness when his fist hit the cotton.
He gritted his teeth angrily, but he couldn't close his eyes and pretend to be dead like her, so he could only take the book next to him to see how to lower his anger.
It takes three days to travel from their village to Fucheng, although the carriage is wider than the ox cart, but the comfort is far less than the ox cart.
Just Gu Jingcheng Niu, his body was not crooked a little along the way, and he could take out a pen and paper to write an article at noon.
While silently complaining about him in her heart, she quietly reached into her shirt and rubbed her fragile waist.
Finally staying up until the evening to stay in the passing town, she let out a long sigh, which made one of them jump from the carriage in a hurry.
Then she immediately straightened her waist and twisted it contentedly: "If I sit down in this carriage again, I will not be able to do it." ”
Su Xiaomuyuan just wanted to complain to Gu Jingcheng, but she didn't know how reverie her actions were at the moment.
The soft and glutinous voice had a coquettish meaning at this time, and the delicate little face was puffed up in the carriage for a long time, just like a peach in summer, which made Gu Jingcheng feel the urge to take a bite.
When he realized what he was thinking, he pursed his lips in embarrassment and looked away.
And Su Xiaomu didn't get a reply from him for a long time, and puffed his cheeks dissatisfied: "What's the matter, you are also stunned and can't speak?" ”
"I'm not dizzy."
He threw down two sentences and pulled the carriage forward: "What are you still doing?" Do you want to spend the night in the wilderness? ”
Indifferent, bleak, inhumane!
She followed him and cursed with her face!
This town is called Li Town, and the reason why it is named after the surname is because it was originally called Lijia Village.
Most of the people were surnamed Li, and later when the imperial court built the road, it was regarded as a stronghold, and over time, it developed and expanded into a town.
Of course, these were all said by Su Xiaomu from the inn maid who fed them the horses.
"Ten copper plates in one night, will Xiaoyou be a little black-hearted? It's not me who said it, it's not me who said it, I've seen your forage, I can only say that it's not bad, but it's definitely more than ten copper plates. ”
