The beautiful pastoral field of Jiangmen girl

Chapter 97 Anxiety (1)
Kang Shuanzi took a bite of the steamed bun, and asked inarticulately, "Which Gu family village is my brother asking about? Is it from the general's big Gu family village, or from the scholar's Xiao Gu family village?"

Gu Yuanbao's face lit up, "It's from the General's Gujia Village, do you know?"

Kang Shuanzhu patted the back of his brother who was choking from eating too fast, and replied: "It's out of the general's Dagujia Village, and it's [-] or [-] miles away from our Kangjia Village. Last year, our brothers went there to do part-time jobs. Bye Pass the heroic monument of the ancient general."

"Then do you know Gu Yuanhe? He is guarding the general's tomb. He is about your age."

Kang Shuanzhu suddenly felt vigilant, "What are you asking him for?"

Gu Yuanbao's eyes sparkled, which meant that they knew each other. He asked excitedly, "Is he all right? Is he strong? Is the house he lives in good? Is he hungry? Is there anyone to give me a meal?" He mends clothes? No one bullies him..."

Kang Shuanzhu was taken aback, "You, what are you doing? Do you know brother Yuanhe?"

"He's my brother, he's my brother." Gu Yuanbao said excitedly, pointing forward, "See, that's my father." Then he pointed to the carriage in front, "My lady and young master have returned home, I won’t leave in the future, I must guard the general, so that the general will not be alone again without relatives to worship during the festival.”

Brothers Kang Shuanzi and Kang Shuanzhu were stunned for a moment, then suddenly they knelt down on the ground with a thud, "General, the young lady and young master of the general's family..." They actually met the young lady and young master of the general's family today, and sold some that no one bought. Fruits, got miscellaneous grains, noodles, steamed buns...

Kang Shuanzi looked confused: "Brother, you hit me, hit me, am I dreaming?"

Kang Shuanzhu also looked confused: "Shuanzi, beat brother, beat brother, is brother dreaming?"

Gu Yuanbao was anxious to know about his elder brother, but to no avail, he shouted, "Father, come quickly, father, hurry up, brother Shuanzhu knows elder brother, he knows elder brother."

As soon as he heard that someone knew his son, Gu Qiang's heart became hot, he suppressed his excitement, let everyone continue on their way, strode to the back, and pulled up the confused brothers, "Do you know my son Yuanhe?"

It turned out that the Kang brothers went to work at the village head's house in Dagujia Village last year, and met Gu Yuanhe, who was guarding the general's tomb.Their brothers are from other surnames and from other villages, and they always suffer some bullying on other people's one-third of an acre of land.The daughter-in-law of the village chief's family is tricky and stingy, and she turns around the two brothers. After finishing the work in the field, she has to bring back the firewood, chop it, carry water to irrigate the vegetable field, and have to be a horse for the village chief's grandson. Riding, the meal is not enough.

After half a month of part-time work, the promised wage of ten coppers a day became two coppers a day.The two brothers had nothing to say, but the brother of the village chief's daughter-in-law beat him up and was bumped by Gu Yuanhe.Gu Yuanhe went up at that time, kicked the two brothers away from the village chief's daughter-in-law one by one, pulled the Kang brothers up, found the village chief, and asked the village chief to pay the Kang brothers' wages without talking nonsense.

In the eyes of Gujia Villagers, Gu Yuanhe is a taciturn and strong young man.Every day he is not cleaning the general's cemetery, or busying in several acres of Susukida, or sitting under the general's hero monument erected by the government and looking into the distance, no one knows what he is thinking, and no one dares to provoke him.

Kang Shuanzhu said that this was before, and things changed quickly.Half a month ago, the two brothers went to Dagujia Village to see Gu Yuanhe, but Gu Yuanhe just sat in front of the general's tomb in a daze.The two brothers asked for a long time before Gu Yuanhe told them that the village chief brought the town policemen to confiscate several acres of Susukida planted by Gu Yuanhe, and warned Gu Yuanhe not to enter the village again.

It turned out that a few days ago, the two brothers of the village chief's daughter-in-law were bullying foreigners again. When Gu Yuanhe saw them, they kicked them over and let the foreigners go.Unexpectedly, soon, the village head took over his land and prevented him from entering the village again.The Kang brothers were very worried, but Gu Yuanhe said that he had money brought from the capital, so he didn't have to worry about food and clothing.

Half a month has passed, and the Kang family brothers don't know if Gu Yuanhe is doing well, because they run around every day to wrap their stomachs. go again.

When such news reached Qing Shu's ears, Qing Shu couldn't calm down, and directly called the two brothers to talk to the carriage, "The village chief is so domineering, is there no one in Gujia Village to speak out?"

The two brothers replied no, no one cared, no one stood up for Gu Yuanhe.

"Where are the people from the Gu family? My father's uncle is still in the village, isn't it?"

The two brothers also said that no one came out to speak for Gu Yuanhe. Gu Yuanhe lived alone in a thatched hut on the hillside with no one to help him. He had to go to the town to buy food and food.

Qing Shu glanced at the bright sunshine outside, this is the result of that stupid woman of the Gu Ye family, this is the credit of that bastard Gu Yunfu who only fattened herself but forgot about her brother's kindness.For five years, for five full years, no one was sent back to the hometown to manage, and no one was sent back to the hometown to worship. Gu Yuanhe was left alone to guard the general's tomb.

Why should others pay attention to a dead general who is not valued by your own family?If she hadn't come to Da'an not long ago, she took out 50 taels of silver and asked Gu Qiang to give it to Gu Yuanhe. What would Gu Yuanhe eat and drink after being robbed of his livelihood?What to live on?

Calculated from the time, the incident happened half a month ago. Even if Gu Yuanhe wrote a letter and sent it to the capital, even if they did not leave the capital, received the letter, and then sent someone over. a month's time.Fortunately, they left Beijing and returned home, which saved half a month in the middle.I just hope that Gu Yuanhe will be fine in the past half month.

With such a big event happening in Gujia Village, how could Qingshu hurry on his way leisurely. "Look for a rest on the side of the road. Everyone hurry up to eat some dry food and share the purple fruit, and then set off to reach Kangxi Town as quickly as possible." According to the speed they traveled along the way, they will arrive at Kangxi Town at noon tomorrow .But now that they have received such news, they must hurry to the town as soon as possible, and then send people to Gujia Village to find out the situation, and take Gu Yuanhe to the town by the way.

Since the Kang family brothers are close friends with Gu Yuanhe, Qing Shu will naturally not abandon them and let them take turns to rest on the scooter with the men in the family.

However, the group of them was in a hurry, but it was still too late to enter the town.It was already dark, and the small gate of the town was closed.The group had no choice but to sleep outside the town, built a fire, cooked some hot food, lined up the night watchmen, and rested as they should. They would enter the town as soon as the gate of the small city opened tomorrow.

In autumn, the night was as cold as water, and the women and children crowded in the carriage were covered with quilts, and they slept soundly.In the open air, the night watchman put on clothes, guarded the fire, threw a few dry branches into the fire from time to time, and patrolled the surroundings from time to time.Those who were not on night duty, hugged their bedding, lay in a circle around the fire and took the time to sleep.Gu Qiang has made an arrangement, changing the night duty every two hours, so that everyone can rest.
