Chapter 23: Gu Qi dies
"How can there be geese at this time? It can't be a poisonous animal. Xiao Jiu, show it to the uncle! ”
Looking at Gu Wensheng's outstretched hand, Gu Jiu hurriedly hugged the wild goose.
"No, this wild goose didn't fly away because its wings were injured. I'm not looking for it, I'll go home first. Saying that, Gu Jiu got up and ran down the mountain.
The other villagers couldn't help but be greedy when they looked at the geese that were getting farther and farther away, this wild goose was a rare thing!
On the side, Gu Wensheng was also very red-eyed, and said that this wild goose was eaten by a character with a head and a tail, and he still didn't know what this wild goose tasted like. If you eat it once and leave two pieces of meat to meet your friends, it will be more noodles!
The more Gu Wensheng thought about it, the more excited he became, and immediately saluted everyone, raised his legs and left quickly. Seeing that Gu Wensheng was gone, Gu Youcai didn't stay, for fear that he would arrive home one step later than Gu Wensheng and eat one less bite of meat.
The wild goose seemed to be seriously injured, except for the first two flutters, the rest of the time it was quietly nested in Gu Jiu's arms.
"Xiao Jing, boil some warm water." Gu Jiu said as he checked the wings of the wild goose.
Unfortunately, the wings of this wild goose were completely broken.
"Sister, the water is coming."
"Hmm." Gu Jiu nodded and put the wild goose in a basin with warm water.
The wild goose had been outside for too long, and with its wings broken, it lived in the snow almost all the time, and many parts of its body had been frozen. If I hadn't been lucky enough to be found today, I wouldn't have survived tonight.
"Sister, what kind of animal is this? There are so many wings! ”
"Wild geese. An animal that migrates back and forth every year, but its wings are injured and forced to stay here. Gu Jiu stretched out his hand and touched the wings of the wild goose again, Xu did not perceive the malice, and the wild goose, which had recovered some physical strength, did not struggle.
She doesn't have the ability to connect bones, so she can only find some small branches to help fix it now, and as for whether it is useful or not, it can only depend on its creation.
With a bang, the door of the house was suddenly slammed open, startling both Gu Jiu and Gu Jing.
"Uncle, second uncle, do you have any urgent matters?"
Gu Wensheng and Gu Youcai gasped for breath, their faces flushed, and they didn't have time to straighten up their waists and walked inside, as if whoever came in first could take a lot of advantage.
Gu Jiu walked over and suddenly pushed the two people who were pushing each other backwards, and the two of them fell to the ground without checking for a while.
"Hey, I fell to death, long girl, can't you see that the second uncle is here?"
Gu Youcai sat on the threshold with his buttocks, and his buttocks hurt, but when he rubbed his butt and complained, Gu Wensheng immediately got up and said, "Xiao Jiu, it's hard to deal with the wild goose's hair, and the eldest uncle will help you get it." ”
As he spoke, he sprinkled it in, and when he saw the wild goose sitting in the basin, he couldn't close his mouth with a smile: "Xiao Jiu, I didn't expect you to be more anxious than your uncle, and I washed it as soon as I came back!" Don't worry! Uncle will be able to stew you into fragrant goose meat in a while! ”
"I'm not going to eat this wild goose right now."
Gu Wensheng was stunned, and said indifferently: "It's not the same when you eat, you eat early and eat late." Xiao Jiu, get out of the way quickly, Uncle will stew it for you in a while, so as not to have too many dreams at night and let others steal it! ”
"I said, I'm not going to eat it now! And this wild goose was found by me, and if I don't eat it, then no one can touch it! ”
Hearing this, Gu Wensheng immediately lowered his face, stared at Gu Jiu with an unkind face, and said, "Jiu girl, the younger generation should have the consciousness of being a junior!" You don't think that if your uncle and I really want to take things from you, we still need your consent, right? ”
Gu Jiu sneered when he heard this: "If Uncle really thinks that he has this strength, then he might as well try it." ”
"Good! If you have money, today our two brothers will teach her what rules are! ”
Gu Youcai: ...... If you want to go up, you can go up, what kind of eyes do you always make with me, do you think you want to sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman? This long-term girl can beat your son like that, there must be two brushes, why should I be this bird!
"No problem, listen to big brother."
Gu Wensheng: ...... Then you're on it. As a child for more than ten years, the heaviest job I have ever done is to take a few catties of meat for the New Year, which is not at the same level as you who push stones and grind away!
Gu Jiu not only rolled his eyes when he looked at the two people who were pretending to be stupid to each other, but stepped forward and pushed the two out directly: "Uncle and second uncle, don't worry, we can't forget you when we eat wild geese." ”
"It's worthy of the eldest (two) uncle who hurts, this ......"
Gu Jiu closed the door and didn't bother to listen to what they said that they didn't believe in ghosts; She won't eat wild geese, not because she is loving, but because it's unnecessary. On the contrary, if there is really no food, and people are dying of hunger, she will definitely not keep it.
"Sister, when will it be good?" Gu Jing stood aside and watched intently as Gu Jiu fixed the wings of the wild goose, and said, "When it's ready, is it going to leave?" ”
"Yes. If he wants to stay, we'll keep him. "A wild goose that has lost its wings is tantamount to being sentenced to death, and sooner or later it will die tragically.
……
At dinner, Gu Jiu was nibbling on corn while listening to Gu Zhi enlighten his temper.
"Whoever has enough food for that! I said that I am now at the critical time of study! Did you steal the things at home to subsidize your Gu Qi? Get out of here with your stuff, I'm going to Grandma!" Gu Zhiqi said as he walked out of the house, since the last time he checked the food from Gu Jiu, it was the first time that Gu Zhiqi went out for anything other than going to the toilet for such a long time.
"Oh, feed grandma's eldest grandson, how can grandma be willing to suffer you! The main thing is that our grain has been stolen, so we have to be careful. ”
"Why didn't the thief steal from them for a long time, I think they still have corn to eat! I don't care, I'm going to eat corn too. Gu Zhiqi looked at the half of the nest that Mrs. Gu stuffed over, and still said dissatisfiedly.
When the Wang family heard this, he immediately pulled Gu Zhiqi, at this time, he didn't want to say this, in case he was misunderstood by the old man or chilled, it would be worth the loss!
"Qi'er, you still have two nests here, except for your family, there are half nests for one person! But don't worry, this situation won't last long, your seventh sister is the wife of the Zhao family, your brother is in trouble, she will definitely help! ”
This was a pun, which not only knocked Gu Zhiqi, but also reminded Mrs. Gu.
As expected, Mrs. Gu immediately slapped her thigh when she heard this: "You said that I forgot her when I was in a hurry, and I didn't know how to take the initiative to help the family when something happened to this second room." Grandma's baby grandson, you wait, grandma will let your second aunt bring you food! ”
After that, Mrs. Gu entered Zhao Xiu'er's house, and during this time, except for cooking, Zhao said that she couldn't get sick, and she was afraid that someone would mention it to her.
Mrs. Gu went in for a long time, and during this time, there was still a sound of crying in the house, but looking at Mrs. Gu's expression when she finally came out, she thought that it was a good deal.
On this day, Tianzai fell heavily in snow, Gu Jiu sat on the bed, stretched out a hand from the quilt and poked his head out to pluck the firewood under the kang, fortunately the house has enough firewood, otherwise this winter is really hard.
There was a rustling sound outside the house, Gu Jiu looked out the window with a long neck, and saw Zhao Xiu'er tightly surrounded and out of the door.
I still go out in this weather, I want to come to Mrs. Gu yesterday!
Zhao Xiu'er walked for a whole day, and only came back slowly the next morning, the whole person seemed to be hidden, and there was nothing else on her face except numbness.
Hearing the movement, Gu Youcai took the lead in running out, looked at Zhao and complained: "You didn't come back last night and didn't know to let someone give me a little letter, so I have been worried for so long!" ”
As if he didn't notice Zhao's expression at all, Gu Youcai only took the burden in Zhao Xiu'er's hand, and quickly opened the package under the curious eyes of Old Lady Gu, Wang and others.
Bun!
"This Zhao family is atmospheric! It's going to have to be thirty buns! Just give it! ”
"Yo, it's still minced meat!" Wang took a small hole and said in surprise: "The amount of this meat is more than what we eat for the New Year!" The only bad thing is that it's cold, brother and sister, next time you go to bring two more clothes to wrap up, you don't know how much Qi'er loves to eat this freshly steamed bun! ”
"Don't stand here, why don't you boil water and give my eldest grandson a taste!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Look at my brain! ”
Everyone happily took the buns into the kitchen, Gu Youcai just wanted to follow, but suddenly remembered the Zhao family, and only noticed that the person was not in the right state at the moment when he turned around and shouted at the person.
"Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law? Xiu'er, are you talking? Isn't it a good thing that food is coming? Why do you look like you're dead! ”
When Zhao heard this, his divergent eyes slowly fell on Gu Youcai's face, and he moved his mouth, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't make a sound.
"No, if you want to open your mouth if you have something, what are you doing? Did the Zhao family scold you? Gu Youcai stepped forward and stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Zhao, his tone was a little impatient: "It's cold outside, let's go into the house and say something." ”
"Xiao Qi is dead......"
"What?"
"Little Seven...... Nope. Zhao's voice was small, so small that it seemed to just open his mouth.
Gu Youcai put his ear to it, and after listening to it for a long time, he raised his head in amazement: "Qi'er is gone?" Why not? Did the Zhao family do it! ”
Zhao shook his head: "I don't know, they had already buried Xiao Qi when I arrived...... I shouldn't have gone to see her once for so long, I, I thought that with the affection of the same village, Lord Zhao wouldn't be too harsh Xiao Qi, but, ......"
Zhao's voice unconsciously increased as he spoke, and Gu Youcai hurriedly pulled her back into the house.
Gu Jiu stood in the room and looked at the farce outside the window, not feeling pity for the Zhao family at all, if he didn't want to hurt people at the beginning, how could he end up today!
