Chapter 398: The Old House Leaking Rain
The ancient town of the water town. please
In the past, the scene of canopy boats coming and going is no more, and the boatmen no longer cross the river, and the water level has soared, and it is difficult to travel, so they can only pray at home that the rain will stop, and there is no way for God to respond.
The white rain is flying, and the old house is leaking everywhere.
Guo Shusheng wore a straw hat and climbed the roof in the rain and worked hard to repair the old house, the rain wet his cheeks were cold, and the tiles were old and he had to be careful not to step on them, and carefully changed the complete tiles to cover the tarpaulin, and tried to make this crumbling old house survive the rain, looking up at the rolling black clouds with a sad face.
"Guo Lang~Hurry down and take shelter from the rain~"
The lady beckoned Guo Shusheng in the yard to come into the house to take shelter from the rain, the rain was too cold, and she was afraid that her husband would be infected with the cold.
"Good~!"
Hurriedly fiddling with the tiles and oilcloth for a while, carefully hurried down the slippery wooden ladder into the house, drank a bowl of hot ginger soup before feeling no longer cold, although the house was still dripping but not as serious as before, it was okay to live, and the heart waited for the rain to stop and went to the clan elder to borrow money to repair the old house.
The elderly mother brought a few dry clothes for her son to change, and the family of four sat by the fire to keep warm.
The lady coaxed the child to sleep, and had not yet bought tiger head shoes and tiger head hat for her son, and the scholar planned to wait for the rain to stop trying to make his son wear good shoes and clothes.
The family is poor and destitute, and the scholar who has no reputation is not as good as the butcher.
"Son, my mother heard that you have been running around recently, is there something to hide from your mother?"
"Mother, don't worry, my son just went to help people do things to earn some money, and if he didn't do even a bad thing, it was a good thing, and he helped the villagers deal with the dragon that caused the flood, and the sun and the moon can be seen. ”
"You...... Don't you know how many pounds and taels you have to deal with Jiaolong? Can you afford to provoke Jiaolong? Besides, you really didn't do anything wrong? As a man, conscience is the most important thing. ”
The old lady chattered for fear that her son would go astray and do dirty and bad things, and she was even more afraid of offending Jiaolong, she was old, she couldn't hold a wooden stick and couldn't teach her only son a lesson, her son was easy to be bewitched, her son knew best what kind of temper he was a mother, if he was ten years younger, he could still worry about it, and now he can't care about anything when he is old.
The wood was damp and the fire was not strong, and the smoke was billowing and he tried his best to cook porridge.
Guo Shusheng thought about going to the Wang family and the Zhang family next door after eating, discussing which village to go to next to complete the task.
Eating hot gruel, Guo Shusheng heard a knock on the door next door in a trance......
After another moment.
Bang Bang~
Old and young were stunned, I don't know who is knocking on the door, if the neighbor opens the door early and enters the house to talk warmly, he will not knock on the door outside at all, and the villagers are very familiar with it.
"Wow...... Wow wow......"
The strange thing is that the knock on the door outside sounded at the same time as the child in Guo Niangzi's arms was crying, no matter how much he coaxed it, he seemed to be frightened, and the toddler's crying made Guo Shusheng upset.
Outsiders ask the men in the house to touch, arrange their robes and open the door.
Open the door, the wind swept the water vapor and couldn't open his eyes, fortunately, the person closed the door to block the wind and rain, the old and young in the house did not know why, I didn't expect to come in Who's daughter, wet and white, it seems to be a passing girl to avoid the rain.
The child stopped crying, and drilled into Guo Niangzi's armpit, not daring to look at the ...... at the door
Bai Yujun held the oil-paper umbrella tightly with both hands.
"Look at the girl who froze, come and drink a bowl of gruel to warm up your body, don't get sick at a young age. ”
The old lady greeted her warmly, and few would be wary of young girls.
The girl remained motionless.
"Do you buy umbrellas? Umbrellas are really good, I only sell them for one tael of silver. ”
"Sell umbrellas, a tael of silver?" the scholar was surprised.
Bai Yujun nodded, looked at the family in the house, and then looked at the scholar hopefully, hoping that he could buy an umbrella, as long as one or two silver, it was really not expensive.
"Don't buy, don't buy, hurry up. ”
waved his hand and wanted to drive the girl out, but he wanted to take it in kindly, but he didn't expect it to be a girl who fell into the eyes of money, but it was a pity that this good appearance was really knowing people and not knowing their hearts.
"Wow......"
The child cried more urgently, no matter how much he coaxed, the cry overshadowed the sound of the rain and made the little couple scrambled for a while.
The old lady looked at her grandson and then at the strange girl standing at the door, remembering the legend passed down by some old people, her face turned pale, and she knelt down step by step and crawled to Bai Yujun and kowtowed......
Bang...... Bang......!
The old man's forehead slammed the ground, and the two foreheads were bloody, and the mysterious girl was still holding the oil-paper umbrella and did not speak or move, Guo Shusheng was angry and anxious when he saw this.
"Mother...... Why are you kneeling down for her? Mother......!"
"Rebel! You still have the face to say!"
Syllable!
The old lady turned around and slapped her son, Guo Shusheng didn't know why, his face was hot and it wasn't a fake, he didn't understand, he didn't understand why the old lady knelt down and beat her own son for this girl who fell into the eyes of money, isn't it an umbrella seller? Why?
Bai Yujun remained motionless, her face was as usual.
The old lady took off the silver bracelet she was wearing on her wrist and put it in the girl's hand, and although she was reluctant, she had to do it.
"Mother! That's our family heirloom! How can I give it away?"
Didn't pay attention to his stupid son.
"Girl, this bracelet is the most valuable thing in the house, please...... Please spare our family...... I'm kowtowing to you......"
He was about to kowtow, but was suddenly stopped by a small hand as delicate as white jade, and his strength came out.
Put away the silver bracelet and put the oil-paper umbrella into the old lady's arms.
"When the deal is reached, you can do things yourself in the future. ”
Turn around and push the door away.
Guo Shusheng held his face and wanted to complain about his mother, but suddenly there was thunder outside!
Thundered~!
Then the family saw an incredible scene, and a huge white dragon appeared at the door, braving thunder and lightning to fly into the sky! The dragon was slender, with scales like white jade, and hideous claws!
Guo Shusheng collapsed to the ground with a pop, trembling and panicking with fright, the old lady and Guo Niangzi were also frightened, but the crying child gradually stopped crying, just now a lightning bolt illuminated the sky and could not see clearly, it was a white dragon!
"Rebel son! You rebel son almost killed his wife, children, and mother! Beat you to death!"
The old lady took off her shoes and slapped it hard, Guo Shusheng was frightened and didn't know how to resist, his whole body was numb, his forehead was cold as if he was sick, and he didn't notice that the soles of his shoes hit his face, it was still raining outside, but the scene just now kept lingering in his mind......
I suddenly remembered that there was a knock on the door next door!
Hurriedly got up and crawled to the left and right neighbors Wang Zhang's house, the two houses were pitch black, people knelt in the house and bowed their heads motionless, gently pushed, and the two colleagues who were angry for a long time fell to the ground.
Guo Shusheng was frightened, glad that his mother saved his life, recalling that the girl sold an umbrella, and when she bought an umbrella for a tael of silver, she also bought her own life, and the girl was Bai Jiao......
