Chapter 13: Give them back!
"You saw her go to the mountains and dig up kudzu?"
"Really! Dig a basket full of them! ”
Mrs. Gu almost fell down on her feet, and scolded in her mouth: "Even if she wants to die, is it possible to give this kind of thing to Zhu'er and Liang'er to eat?" I think she sincerely wants her father to die! ”
Kudzu is poisonous, and even three-year-old children in the village know it, and the adults in the family are afraid that the children will not be sensible and eat anything they pick up when they are hungry.
Gu Lan naturally knew it.
But this ......
Erfang Chen snorted, "Mother, what can I do?" If she really eats ...... dead."
Did you really turn into a ghost and come to them for revenge?
The more closed the place, the more superstitious it is, and the village is convinced of these things, otherwise where would there be so many taboos?
Gu Xinghua couldn't stand the psychological pressure anymore, she cried and said, "Mother! I'm afraid of ghosts! I don't want to die! ”
"By this time, they must have eaten kudzu and died, right?"
"There is a debtor and a debtor, if she is really dead, whoever robs her will come to whom!"
Everyone looked at each other, and for a while, the things that were snatched from Sanfang's hands at home seemed to have become a hot potato.
This......
At the critical moment, it was Mrs. Gu who was able to stabilize people's hearts.
She waved her hand and said sharply, "Okay! Don't talk about this anymore, let's all go and see if she Gu Lan is dead early tomorrow morning! ”
Only then did the Gu family disperse and go back to their respective rooms.
Big room.
"Master, are you asleep?"
In the village, there is no dog barking, and people have long fallen asleep, but some people in the Gu family toss and turn, and it is difficult to sleep.
Gu Dahe turned over and said in a dull voice, "No." ”
His wife, Li, leaned towards him, "Why is it so cold today?" ”
In the corner of the room, there was also a mahogany box they had stolen from the three-room house.
I heard that this is Gu Lan's mother's dowry.
If Gu Lan died, would she not want to snatch her mother's things back?
The more Li thought about it, the more scared he became.
"The food that those children have grown with great difficulty is all snatched back by your mother, if you are not so hungry that you can't help it, it is estimated that you will not go up the mountain to find the tree kudzu, do you think they can hold back tonight?"
There was only one person left in the room.
In the silence of the night, it gives people goosebumps for no reason.
Maybe by now, Gu Lan and the others have already frothed at the mouth, and their eyes are rolling and they are dying!
Gu Dahe suddenly sat up, and Li screamed in a low voice: "What are you doing!" ”
Gu Dahe whispered: "What other things are at home from the third room?" I'll give them back while the night comes! ”
It's not a good thing anyway, and you shouldn't come to them if you want to become a ghost!
When Li heard this, he was also happy.
"You're right, I've heard people say that ghosts are obsessed, let's return the things, she won't come to us if she can't find anything!"
The couple hurriedly packed up their things, and Gu Dahe quietly walked towards the west of the village while it was dark.
In the second room.
Chen was lying on the window and saw Gu Dahe's figure, and hurriedly turned around and patted her husband who was still lying on the bed.
"Look what I say! Big houses aren't stupid! Your eldest brother was afraid that the ghost would come to the door, so he sent the things back at night! Do you want our family to be haunted by ghosts? ”
Gu Dajiang rolled out of bed, leaned next to Chen's side and looked out: "My eldest brother is really gone?" Let me see! ”
I saw Gu Dahe opening the door carefully!
He slapped his thigh and hurriedly asked Chen to clean up his things.
"Hurry up! I'm going to give them back! ”
Gu Dahe left the Gu family with the front foot, and Gu Dajiang followed out with the back foot, the two brothers looked at each other, no one spoke, and stood outside the door for a while.
After a while, the courtyard door "creaked", and Gu Xiaoshan, the elder of the Gu family, also walked out with something in his arms.
Gu Dahe looked at the two younger brothers and said in a muffled voice, "Let's go." ”
This night is destined to be sleepless for many people.
Early the next morning, Zhu'er climbed out of bed in a daze and staggered to the door to put water.
After the water release, the people also sobered up a lot, and saw that there seemed to be something piled up on the path outside.
Rubbing his eyes, he muttered and walked over: "What? ”
When he got closer and saw the familiar things, his eyes widened and he ran back to the room.
Gu Lan was still asleep, and suddenly there was a shaking.
"Sister! Sister! Wake up! What do you see out there? ”
Can it still be an alien?
Gu Lan was woken up by her younger brother and yawned, the heat in the quilt was rapidly dissipating, she shivered, and looked outside before dawn, a white morning mist.
"What's out there?"
Zhu'er stomped his feet and said excitedly: "Our things! ”
Liang Er sat up and almost overturned Zhu'er, who was still sleeping.
"Brother, really?"
Gu Lan followed the two younger brothers to take a look outside, and sure enough, there was a mahogany box stacked on the path, with about half a foot of linen inside, an iron pot, an iron hoe, and a sickle...... Half a bag of millet rice.
Aren't these things all snatched by the Gu family?
It actually appeared on their doorstep again!
Who did it?
Zhu'er and Liang'er jumped up, "Okay! ”
No matter who it is, it will cost a lot of money to rebuild it!
Zhu'er hurriedly carried his things home.
Liang Er touched the wooden box, put the linen cloth to the tip of his nose and sniffed lightly.
After a while, he said in disappointment: "There is no smell of motherhood." ”
He clutched the cloth tightly in his small hands and hung his head like an abandoned puppy.
For children, the smell of the mother is unique, like sunlight, which allows them to sleep peacefully.
Gu Lan immediately understood what Liang Er meant, and her eyes couldn't help but start to sour.
Zhu'er has a big heart, but Liang'er is sensitive.
She squatted down, held her brother in her arms, patted his back and whispered comfortingly: "It's okay, my mother is by our side, guarding us." ”
Liang Er hugged her and rubbed her cheeks childishly in her arms.
The urn called her angrily: "Sister." ”
Zhu'er came out and saw Gu Lan hugging Liang'er, and rushed over like a cannonball: "Sister! Why don't you hug me! ”
suddenly pounced on Gu Lan and drilled into her arms.
The original sad atmosphere disappeared in an instant.
Liang'er let go of Gu Lan generously, Gu Lan couldn't cry or laugh, so she had to hug her eldest brother and comfort him, "Okay, sister will hug you too." ”
"Brother, I'll hug you too!" Liang Er also followed Gu Lan's example and hugged Zhu'er.
Very cozy.
With these things that were returned, the family's wealth suddenly doubled, which made Gu Lan feel a lot more at ease.
As usual, I went to the stream behind the house to look for fish, but unfortunately there was only one.
This stream is shallow, and there are not many fish, and it has been difficult to harvest after being caught by her in the past two days.
Luckily, I had half a bag of millet again.
Gu Lan sliced the fish into slices, put it in the millet and cooked it into fish porridge, and when the rice was cooked, Zhu'er smelled the fragrance and crawled into her arms.
On the third day of coming to another world, Gu Lan finally took a few children to have a serious meal.
It's hard.
