After death, I became the cannon fodder of the three protagonists

Chapter 86

Gu Jinnian thought that Su Mo only entered the silver building when he bought Gu Ping'an's birthday present.

He subconsciously slowed down and his eyes fell on Su Mo's back.

At this moment, he seemed to be abandoned by the world, and the darkness rushed to his face, strangling his throat.

Gu Jinnian swallowed with difficulty, but he couldn't feel a breath of oxygen that would allow him to breathe.

He stood there in a daze, not even noticing that Su Mo came over.

"Why are you standing still, come and see which one you like."

Su Mo took his hand, and her voice was like the autumn wind, easily blowing away the darkness that enveloped Gu Jinnian.

He couldn't believe it, "Me too?"

"Ah."

Su Mo smiled.

"A birthday present for you in advance."

The guy took several longevity locks and put them on the counter for Su Mo and the others to choose from.

When Su Mo pulled Gu Jinnian and walked over, Gu Xingnian had already wrapped one around his neck.

One side is fish and lotus, and the other side is engraved with longevity and wealth.

"Mom, isn't it pretty~"

The little girl smiled with crooked eyes and raised her chin slightly, for fear that others would not see the longevity lock she was wearing.

Su Mo looked him up and down cooperatively, and then gave an affirmative answer.

"It looks good. Everything we wear in the New Year looks good."

The little girl smiled even more happily.

Gu Jinnian immediately realized that she was going to buy one for all three of their brothers and sisters.

Obviously he also got a birthday gift from her, but he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.

If he had to use one word to sum up his mood at this time, it would probably be a little "lost".

She was good, as good to them all.

After buying the longevity lock, Su Mo took them to the bookstore.

It was agreed at the beginning that after Gu Jinnian finished teaching Gu Ping'an and Gu Xingnian's thousand-character prose, he would be sent to a private school.

But because of the task of the village school and other concerns, Su Mo thought twice and had a frank and open talk with Gu Jinnian.

Gu Jinnian can obey any decision of Su Mo except that he cannot agree to Su Mo's departure.

But he did not forget to ask for new books.

In bookstores, the prices of similar books are mostly differentiated by thickness.

Su Mo still bought the books used by Kaimeng.

"Three Character Classic", one tael of silver.

As the saying goes, words are like a person, and ink contains aspirations.

Su Mo thought of the small handwriting written by the original owner, shook her head, and picked a copybook for Gu Jinnian for him to copy.

In addition, I also bought some straw paper to practice calligraphy for him.

The copybook is expensive, and it costs five taels of silver.

Before Su Mo paid the money, Gu Jinnian stopped her, saying that he didn't need to spend so much money on paper and copybooks.

He can dip a pen in water and practice calligraphy on the table following the books.

Su Mo knew he was serious.

In the plot of the original novel, the three brothers and sisters of Gu Jinnian wandered around the coastal county. Because of Gu Xingnian's good luck, they accidentally found a purse full of money.

Gu Jinnian often wandered around the academy, just to listen to the sound of reading from inside.

He recognized at a glance that it was the purse of the master of the academy, and immediately expressed that he would return it.

Neither Gu Ping'an nor Gu Xingnian had any objections, and the three squatted around the academy, returning the purse to the original owner.

The master appreciated the three people's willingness to pick up money, and during the exchange, he unexpectedly discovered that Gu Jinnian was quite intelligent.

It's just that the master himself has a big family to support, and the road to the imperial examination is expensive, so he can't help much.

After thinking about it, the master gave Gu Jinnian the books he had used, and promised to teach him how to read and write, but he could only give one copy of the pen, ink, paper and inkstone for daily use, and there was nothing he could do after it was used up.

Gu Jinnian was already very content with this.

When the pen is worn out, I will find willow branches to replace it; when the ink is used up, I will replace it with water; if there is no paper, I will replace it with sand and bluestone.

After ten years of hard study, he finally became the youngest number one scholar in the Yong Dynasty.

But now that the family has this condition, why is it so difficult?
What are people living, working hard and earning money for?
Apart from survival, it is to improve one's quality of life and level of life.

So Su Mo didn't listen to his advice.

"A child should look like a child, don't worry too much, mother has money."

Su Mo put the things in the back basket and left the shop.

There are a lot of pedestrians on the street today, there are still carriages walking on the street, and beggars are kneeling on the roadside, begging with bowls in their hands.

Su Mo was worried about Gu Xingnian walking by himself.

During the Yong Dynasty, there were two types of traffickers.

First, buying and selling is not a good person.

Non-beautiful people generally refer to slaves and lowly people, and the business is legal.

The second is the abduction and trafficking of good people.

After being abducted and sold, most of them are sent to black workshops or farms, and some have their limbs cut off and sent to beggars.

If they are good-looking, they will be sent to the deep mountains or rich families to be child brides-in-law/husbands.

This kind is illegal. Once caught, they will all be punished, and the buyer will be sentenced to tattoo and do hard labor.

The officials who were bribed and sheltered by him were all dismissed from office and exiled.

When the original owner sold Gu Jinnian, he sold it to the second type.

The original owner was spoiled and spoiled since she was a child, and Su's father couldn't bear to let her know the dangers of the world, which made her think that selling Gu Jinnian was just a slave.

If he meets a good master, it can be regarded as a relief, but if he encounters a bad master, then his fate is like this.

It's just that she left, and Gu Jinnian was locked in a small black room, witnessing with his own eyes a child of his age being amputated.

There was an unpleasant bloody smell in his nostrils. He closed his eyes, and the image of the dripping blood appeared in his mind, which he could never forget.

If the village chief hadn't gone in time, threatening to report himself to the officials and taking money, as long as they were willing to let him redeem Jinnian, they would have asked the villagers to stop the yamen servant as a lure.

Naturally, those people were not afraid of officers and soldiers when they rushed to do things in the coastal county, so they didn't take the words of the village chief seriously.

But I didn't know what happened later, so I changed my mind and agreed to the village chief.

But in addition to the money, they also asked the village chief to cut off his own leg.

Su Mo learned about these things from 258 with two points.

She also knew that after Gu Jinnian was released, those people left Haiyan County overnight.

But Su Mo didn't know if he had a stronghold, because 258 said he couldn't reveal too much, and he couldn't give points.

Gu Xingnian is short, if she really left a so-called stronghold and let her walk on the road by herself, she would be easily abducted if she didn't pay attention.

She stood beside the bookstore, put down the basket, and picked up Gu Xingnian.

Gu Xingnian is much rounder, at least forty catties.

Su Mo raised her eyebrows and glanced at Gu Pingan and Gu Jinnian.

Ever since she came to this world and took care of the three children, both Gu Ping'an and Gu Xingnian were affected by it, and their appetites skyrocketed.

Gu Ping'an's stature has grown by leaps and bounds, he is much stronger and stronger than his peers.

How much older is uncertain, but Chen Qingzhou, who was a few months older than him, did not lose to him in arm wrestling.

Although this competition is very likely to have moisture.

As for Gu Jinnian, he was still thin, his waist was straight, and he exuded an air of indifference and alienation.

Su Mo immediately made a decision to ask Gu Pingan to carry the backpack on his back.

Although he is a birthday star today, it doesn't mean he can't work.

Gu Ping'an was obedient and carried the basket on his back.

There are not many things in it, and it is not very heavy.

Su Mo asked the two brothers to walk in front, and she followed behind with Gu Xingnian in her arms, so that she could keep an eye on them.
