Chapter 40 On the Road

Three days is also Gu Jinli's limit. She can only wait three days at most. After all, her life is her own, and there is no reason to wait for others to put herself in.

Gu Dafu didn't want to leave. He looked at the grave next to him and said, "There are still surviving villagers in the village. They will definitely come back. Let's wait."

"Wait!" Chen was angry, pointing to the distance and shouting: "Uncle, look up and see how many people are left at the foot of this mountain? The living victims are almost gone, what are you waiting for? You have to wait. You wait for yourself, we won't wait anyway."

After finishing speaking, he said to the third grandfather: "Yes, third uncle."

Chen's is a smart one, he directly pulls the third grandfather up, obviously wanting to isolate Gu Dafu alone.

Gu Dagui didn't agree with Gu Dafu's continued waiting, and persuaded: "Brother, let's go. If the villagers came back, they would have returned long ago. If they haven't come back for three days, they must have left."

How terrifying was that night, how many villagers were still alive who dared to come back?

Gu Dafu did not speak, he felt that the village chief Gu killed the villagers, and as the successor of the village chief, it was necessary for him to stay and wait for the villagers.

Seeing that Gu Dafu didn't speak, Mrs. Chen jumped in a hurry, pulled Gu Dexing and Gu Yumei, and said to Gu Dafu, "Uncle, you have to think about Brother Xing and Sister Mei, do you want them to accompany you to starve? Dying here? If they die, will you be worthy of your sister-in-law?"

Gu Dafu's daughter-in-law was also killed that night.

Gu Dexing and Gu Yumei broke free from Chen's pull and stepped aside, not wanting or daring to force Gu Dafu to make a decision.

Chen glared at them angrily: "You two have no conscience, I'm doing it for your own good, do you really want to stay here with your father and be with the dead?"

When Gu Dexing and Gu Yumei heard the word "dead", they glanced at the graves of Gujia Village, and their bodies shook.

Seeing this, Mrs. Chen snorted coldly, and if she knew she was afraid, she would force Gu Dafu with her.

The third grandfather glanced at Gu Dafu and persuaded: "Dafu, don't wait, let's go, we still have more than [-] lives here, and we can't lose all of them here."

"Uncle San..." Gu Dafu finally raised his head and looked at Grandpa San with tears in his eyes.

The third grandpa said: "Let's go, enough people in the village have died, we can't die any more in our group."

Hearing this, Gu Dafu looked at the families in the rest area, silent for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement: "Let's go!"

When several families heard Gu Dafu's words, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Shi even started to pack with a smile on her face. She wanted to get food, but was stopped by the third grandmother: "Chen Shi, you just need to take care of your two children. The three of us are holding these things."

Food, water, are the things of the three of them, and the salt belongs to Xiaoyu alone. Being able to take out these things for everyone to eat is already a benevolence and righteousness. Chen still wants to drag these things to his own house, that is a dream.

Gu Jinli saw Chen's every move in his eyes and did not say anything.

As early as three days ago, she quietly prepared a small packet of food for everyone in the family and tied it to her body.

The cloth bag of coarse salt was carried by her all the time, and she only took a little of it every day for the third grandma, and asked the third grandma to share it with everyone to supplement the salt.

It is not easy to escape, she can only try her best to protect her family.

She told the Luo family and the third grandfather's family about this, and asked them to tie a small packet of food to their bodies in case they needed it.

Hearing the third grandma's words, Mrs. Chen didn't have any embarrassment on her face. While walking around the third grandma, she thought about how to find an opportunity to steal food.

After deciding to leave, Gu Dafu took out the household registration papers, land deeds, and silver coins found on the corpses of the villagers, and said worriedly: "Sanbo, what should I do with these things? These are all things needed to settle down. If we put Take these things away, what if the villagers come back to find them?”

Chen is a greedy person, and he has long been thinking of those Tian deeds and silver coins, and said hurriedly: "Naturally, I bring it with me. Uncle, you are a man, and you are not precise enough. Let me look at these things."

As he said that, he was about to rush over to grab the Tian Qi silver coins in Gu Dafu's hand, but was grabbed by Gu Dagui.

Gu Dagui couldn't wait to slap her: "Are you crazy about money? It's money from dead people. If you take it, you won't be afraid that the dead villagers will come to you at night?"

Chen Shi was afraid of ghosts. Hearing this, his face turned pale with fright, and he didn't dare to hit those Tian Qi silver coins again.

The third grandpa thought about it and said, "Bury one by one in front of the grave."

Since ancient times, there has been a custom of living people burying some items in front of the graves of their ancestors. Everyone in the village knows it. As long as they see a small earthen bag in front of the grave, they know that there is something inside, and they will dig it out to see.

After hearing this, Gu Dafu responded, and together with his father Luo, Gu Dashan, Uncle Tian, ​​Gu Damu and Gu Dalin brothers, got the household registration papers, land deeds, and silver wallets of each family, and then dug a row of small holes in front of the grave. , bury things in pits and pile them into small earthbags.

According to the ranking of each family in the village, they found the same number of small stones as the ranking to surround the small earthbags, as a distinction, so that the villagers who came back would not take the wrong things from other people's homes.

The third grandpa called the big guy over, and finally kowtowed to the earthen grave where the villagers were buried. After getting up, he said to everyone, "Let's go."

When everyone heard these two words, their hearts were heavy, and they were panicked. The road ahead was long, and they didn't know what else would happen.

Gu Jinli tied the cloth bag, took the dagger and wooden stick, grabbed the hands of Gu Jinxiu and Mrs Cui, and walked behind Gu Dashan, who was holding Cheng Ge'er. The three of Luo's father and son and Qin Lao led the way to Yongtai Mansion. go.

Qin Lao said: "When we arrive at Yongtai Mansion, we can follow the road to the south."

There were four great galloping roads in the Great Chu Dynasty, which ran across the east, west, north, south, and four directions, and the intersection of the four great galloping roads was in Yongtai Mansion.

In ancient times, the transportation was inconvenient. Among them, Qin Lao and Luo Fu had traveled far. Compared with Luo Fu, Qin Lao was more familiar with these routes, so they could only believe what Qin Lao said.

"Brother Lao is here." The third grandpa said gratefully.

Old Qin said with a smile: "What's the matter, let's support each other."

On the way, they encountered many small groups of victims, many of them were familiar faces, and they were the victims who survived that night.

But after the events of that night, the victims were like birds of prey. Even if they encountered familiar faces, they would not take the initiative to say hello, and only hurryed with those who were close to them.

The third grandpa and the others were also afraid that these victims would do drastic things. When they met acquaintances, they nodded at most, and did not go up to say hello.

The group walked in the direction of Yongtai Mansion for four days. Fortunately, they found a semi-dry mountain spring, and finally they did not die of thirst.

When they were about to enter the area of ​​Yongtai Mansion, they suddenly saw a large group of victims running back in a panic, and some of the victims were still bloodstained on their bodies.

Gu Jinli was stunned, knowing that something was wrong, and immediately said to everyone: "Let's find a place to hide, don't enter Yongtai Mansion first!"

Old Qin's face sank, and he hurriedly said, "There must be something wrong with Yongtai Mansion, everyone hurry up and hide."

He said to Qin Saburo again: "Sanlang, go catch a disaster victim and ask, what happened to them?"
