There was a bang, I don't know who opened the coffin, and the sharp-eyed immediately noticed that there was only a set of clothes inside, and there was no body at all.

"Lao Guajia, what do you mean, just look for torn clothes and want to pay dozens of taels of silver, then this money is too fast!"

Hearing this, everyone subconsciously stopped and looked into the coffin.

Seeing this, Wang Dahu immediately explained: "Isn't that because it's been too long, and the corpse has already decomposed?" If it weren't for you, San'er wouldn't have died without a corpse! ”

"Li Zheng, it's not interesting for us to fight like this, it's better like this, let's take a step back, twenty taels, take twenty taels and forget it! There are so many dolls in your village, you can't cut off the child's future for these twenty taels, right? ”

Hearing this, the villagers who were almost admitted to the Tongsheng School were faintly shaken.

Twenty taels on average, a family only needs one and a half dollars, if their own children are really admitted to the children's life, then I don't know how many more one and a half dollars can be won.

But coincidentally, this sentence happened to be heard by Gu Zhiqi, who came in a hurry.

"I am the same township, since I have won the show, I will naturally not ignore the villagers."

When everyone turned around, they saw Gu Zhiqi dressed in white, holding a folding fan in his hand, and the blue belt around his waist had turned a warm red.

Hearing this, the sister-in-law immediately became unhappy: "Zhi Qi, what do you mean by this, it is your uncle who is in trouble now, how can there be any reason to help outsiders speak!" ”

"That's right!" Wang Dahu echoed: "You should have entered the academy now, our family officials are also from the academy now, no matter how you say it, our relationship is closer!" ”

Hearing this, a few people who were originally happy not to have to pay for it instantly wilted, and the other side was also Gu Zhiqi's aunt, and when it came to relationships, they were always better than them.

Sister-in-law Gua and Wang Dahu obviously also ate this, and each looked like they were right, but unexpectedly, Gu Zhiqi shook his head, opened the folding fan in his hand, closed it all at once, and said leisurely: "A gentleman should uphold justice in the world, I will not do this, even if you and I are related." ”

Hearing this, the people of Gujia Village immediately became confident, and they all clamored for another fight.

Seeing that she couldn't get the money, her sister-in-law immediately cried and made trouble, shouting at the top of her voice, but Wang Dahu left with a few people in a witty way.

It's just that...... I don't know if it's Gu Jiu's illusion, but I always feel that Wang Dahu's glance at himself before he left has a meaning, as if he is waiting for something.

After Wang Dahu and the others left, the village chief left a few people to look at the sister-in-law, and let the rest of the people go back.

"Zhiqi, you can really do it! I was really admitted to Xiucai, this is the first one in our village! There is a word for what, yes! ”

"Uncle, you want to say that you are young and promising."

"Yes, yes, uncle, which is what it means, promising, promising."

On the way back, a large group of people happily surrounded Gu Zhiqi, completely forgetting that Gu Wensheng had cheated them, and also forgetting that all this seemed to be because of the Wang family, or they didn't care anymore.

"Fold Qi, how is the academy? Look at the meaning of Wang Dahu, that Wang Guan entered the academy, and now Tong Sheng can enter? Wasn't it okay to be a showman before? ”

"The academy is divided into two districts, and Tong Sheng and Xiucai don't study together."

Gu Zhiqi paused, stopped before someone asked about the salary, and saluted everyone: "Before, my father helped everyone find a job in the city, and he originally wanted to help everyone, but I didn't expect that person to see that everyone was a good bully from the village. ”

"Before I came, I bought some pastries in the city, and I will share them with a few uncles who were less paid at the time."

Gu Zhiqi's words were earnest, making Gu Jiu almost think that he was dreaming.

What a benefit it has to be to make such a self-conscious person apologize so seriously!

As soon as these words came out, several people who originally had some whispers in their hearts completely frowned.

"What's the matter, why are the villagers talking about this? If it weren't for your father, Wensheng, we wouldn't even be able to earn those few copper coins! ”

"That's it."

"What pastries are not pastries, Zhe Qi, if you really don't want to go, tell everyone what the exam questions are for this show? Why did you write it, and let the dolls in our village stain your light. ”

"Yes, yes, yes."

……

More than half of the people followed Gu Zhiqi home, and Gu Jiu went back to the village chief's house.

"Isn't it just a showman? Look at what he can, and our family Cheng'er can also be admitted next year! Aunt Xia said indignantly.

Turning his head and looking at Gu Jiu again, he said: "Xiao Jiu, is Xiao Jing also a child, let Xiao Jing go to the academy with you Cheng Brother when the time comes, and there will be a good time to take care of it." ”

Gu Jiu nodded.

After going back, Gu Jiu was busy making a wire drawing machine, the village chief was helping on the side, and Aunt Xia was going to cook.

"The meal is ready, don't be busy, come in and eat."

Gu Jiu put down her things and got up just in time to see Gu Cheng, counting it, this was the first time she had seen this person in his entirety.

The eyebrows are delicate, and there seems to be a fragrance of bamboo all over the body, and just standing there makes people feel refreshed and comfortable. is different from the bookish aura that Gu Zhiqi deliberately pretended, this person's scholarly aura seems to be natural.

"Cheng'er, aren't you eating in the house today?" The village chief looked at Gu Cheng with some confusion.

Gu Cheng nodded, the black shadow just now always made him a little uneasy: "After the exam, rest for two days first." ”

"That's okay, you hurry into the house, it's windy outside, you're freezing again." The village chief chattered as he pulled the person into the house: "Your body has not been good since you were a child, and you have to be careful when you are older now." ”

"Dad, not really." Gu Cheng looked at the clothes he had put on again, and Gu Jiu, who was standing outside and watching, was a little unnatural.

"What's not, you don't know what your body is like, in the first half of the year, it was the time when you stood outside and knocked on the melon seeds, and you had a high fever at night! Hurry up, get dressed, or go back to your house to eat, it's warm. ”

Aunt Xia looked at the two of them with a smile and explained to Gu Jiu: "Your brother Cheng is not in good health, he had a high fever at every turn when he was a child, and the fortune teller said that he would not live more than fifteen, and at that time he could make my aunt sad." But now, not only is it thirteen, but this body is much better than before. That Gu Zhiqi can get it day by day, but no matter what, it is a child who studied for fifteen or six years before he was admitted, you are not the same Brother Cheng, he was admitted after two years of study! ”

"I'm seventeen years old when I'm full of this year, much stronger than that Gu Zheqi!"

Gu Jiu was stunned: "Seventeen? How do I remember ...... "The people in the village said it was twenty?"

"Oh, you said this, the fortune teller said that he would not live for fifteen, so he lied to him for a few years, which is regarded as borrowing his life from God."

Gu Jiu nodded as if he didn't understand.

"Mother, don't say it, it's all over."

Gu Cheng lowered his head and said with some indignation.

"Okay, okay, mother, don't talk about it. Eat it quickly, it's not good if it's cold. Xiao Jiu, come and sit down, this mushroom soup is fragrant, my aunt will give you more! ”

"Good!"

Gu Jiu sat down, picked up a mushroom in the soup and tasted it, and was just about to praise when he suddenly saw a strange thing.

Gu Jiu took the chopsticks and picked out the mushroom that was out of place.

"What's wrong with Xiao Jiu? Don't like to drink? ”

Gu Jiu shook his head, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong, how could this be so much like a death cap!

"Auntie, have you cooked everything you picked?"

"No, I'll boil half of it, and I'll eat the rest in the evening."

Gu Jiu looked in the direction of Aunt Xia's finger, and saw a small number of mushrooms lying quietly in a large basket in the arms of a toddler.

Gu Jiu got up and walked over, and by the way, he asked the village chief not to drink it yet.

"Xiao Jiu, is something wrong?" The village chief asked, chewing on a mushroom.

"It could be highly toxic."

Chief:!!! He spit it out immediately, and knocked out the chopsticks in Gu Cheng's hand, who had just added mushrooms.

"Poisonous?" Aunt Xia stood up in shock: "I've picked mushrooms for so many years, it's impossible that I can't recognize them if there is poison!" Xiao Jiu, I drink this soup myself, I didn't want to hurt anyone! ”

Hearing this, Gu Cheng frowned: "Someone came in once before, and I didn't mention it when I checked and saw that there was nothing missing......

Hearing this, the village chief was immediately more convinced than Gu Jiu that it was poisonous.

"I feel strange when the Peach Blossom Village comes to make trouble today, and I feel like I'm going to do this trick!"

Gu Jiu rummaged through the remaining mushrooms and soon found two death caps.

"Auntie, do you see that you picked these two?"

Hearing this, Aunt Xia walked over and looked at it, shook her head, and said extremely firmly: "No, I've been picking mushrooms for so many years, and I've never touched something like this!" And I know very well what the mushrooms in the back mountain look like, there is no such thing! ”

Gu Jiu nodded and explained: "This is called a death cap, also known as a poisonous Amanita jelly, and its appearance is no different from that of ordinary mushrooms, without any special color, but the body ring is very easy to identify, especially this one with a fungus tray." ”

"Don't look at it as finger-length, but using more than the size of a fingernail is enough to kill."

"Nail cover!" Aunt Xia looked at her fingernails in shock when she heard this: "Who eats mushrooms will make it so small!" ”

The village chief looked at Gu Cheng with a serious face and asked, "Have you seen what that person looks like?" ”

Gu Cheng shook his head guiltily, it would have been nice if he had chased him out at that time.

"I only saw a gray back, but the clothes were so large that they covered him from head to toe."

"In terms of body shape, is it a man or a woman? Is there a way to estimate the age? Gu Jiu asked further.

Gu Cheng thought for a while and said, "Woman, her legs and feet are very good, she runs fast, and she comes to me if she is not tall." As he spoke, he gestured on his shoulder, about one meter six in height.

"Then how do you check this?" Aunt Xia sighed and sat back on the stool.

Gu Jiu carefully recalled and said to the village chief: "When Peach Blossom Village came to make trouble, there should be few women in our village who were not there. Throwing away the elderly, there are many people who are poor, and there are few left. ”

Hearing this, the village chief frowned: "Xiao Jiu, do you suspect that this matter was done by someone from our village?" ”

"Hmmm! According to Brother Cheng's description, this person not only knew that Aunt Xia had picked the mushroom, but also knew where the mushroom was placed! Otherwise, we wouldn't have run away so quickly, and it is more likely that our people in the village would know this information at the same time. ”

Gu Jiu analyzed little by little, and somehow remembered the look in Wang Dahu's eyes when he was leaving, could it be that he controlled this matter?
