Happy Wife Ying Ying

Chapter 340 The Curse of Greed
Li Guangyu held her hand cautiously, and said: "I promised you before, I will bring you to pick lotus seeds."

Yingruo's small mouth almost reached the ears, "Brother Guangyu used to carry me around the lake for a week! Is it still possible now?"

Li Guangyu said: "If you can, I can."

Yingruo covered her face, "The scenery of Wangchun Lake is already very good, don't make it artificial."

Li Guangyu laughed lowly.

Yingruo blushed and looked to the side, and saw a group of people chattering there. "What's wrong, this is?" She asked casually.

When the voice fell, someone shouted: "My lord is here!"

Yingruo thought it was the county magistrate of Yulan County who came, but unexpectedly, several people rushed towards them and kowtowed to Li Guangyu when they got close.

Yingruo was taken aback by the situation, and immediately hid behind Li Guangyu after she realized it.

Li Guangyu hurriedly asked everyone to get up.

I heard an old man say: "I have lived to be 70 years old, and this is the first time I have seen such a heavy rain. There was a rain 30 years ago, but it was much smaller than this one. The person who died at that time, just stood there." Looking at the Wangchun Lake, there are corpses floating around..."

Yingruo shuddered and stole a look at Wangchun Lake, only to see a looming black spot.She raised her hand and rubbed her eyes, and there was indeed a black spot.She grabbed Li Guangyu's arm violently.

Li Guangyu was smiling and asking the old man how his body was, and how many bowls of rice he could eat for a meal. Feeling Yingruo's strangeness, he immediately turned his head, "What's wrong?"

Yingruo raised her finger and pointed to the lake, "There... is there a person in the water?"

Li Guangyu frowned and asked, "Do you know what happened here?"

The group of people started talking in a hurry.

It turned out that there was a young man named Mao Gui, who made a living as a bookkeeper on weekdays, and he was also a smart person.In my spare time, I also know how to fish and catch shrimp to supplement my family.There is a river in the upper reaches of Wangchun Lake. Whenever it rains, when the upper reservoir is released, many fish will be washed down.Everyone along the river knows that there are usually many people who take the opportunity to go fishing.

It's just that this rain is unusual, the government issued an order early on, and when the heavy rain comes, it is strictly forbidden to go fishing in the river.That Mao Gui was a stubborn person who didn't believe in evil, so he went down the river privately.And then, when he left, he never came back.

That Maogui's family is also pitiful, with a child in his stomach, so he begged his grandpa to sue his grandma everywhere, and let people go into the water to salvage it.

After all, it was the upper reaches of Wangchun Lake. If people were washed away, most of them would sink in this lake.

A few days ago, the water was big and turbid, so no one would go into the water.

Now that the water is clear, people from neighbors and neighbors have organized to salvage the lake.

Therefore, on Wangchun Lake at this moment, there are those who support small boats and use poles to salvage, and there are also those who are good in water and jump directly into the water to salvage.

Li Guangyu asked: "Have you informed the county government about this?"

The old man nodded and shook his head again, "I have reported it. But our county has been hit by such a heavy rain, and the county government is also very busy. This matter should not be ranked for the time being. It can't be old. To cause trouble for the yamen, anyway, I am idle, so I salvage it myself first."

While talking, someone already rowed a boat close to the black spot, and then shouted towards the shore: "I found it! It should be Mao Gui! He floated up by himself."

Yingruo secretly cursed bad luck, and then heard a shrill cry that stimulated the eardrums.

Everyone gathers towards the water's edge.

Li Guangyu tightly grasped Yingruo's hand and led her far away.

Although the little girl is a bold one, it's better not to see that kind of scene, so as not to have nightmares at night.

The crying woman ran past Yingruo, Yingruo couldn't help but glanced at it and let out a cry of surprise.

"Huh?" Li Guangyu simply hugged her and lowered his head inquiringly.

Yingruo frowned her delicate eyebrows, "This person looks familiar, as if I've seen him somewhere before."

Li Guangyu said indifferently: "The day I saw you for the first time, in Daci Temple, you were fighting with someone under the jujube tree, and she was there."

His memory is very good, everyone who has seen him will have an impression in his mind.

Yingruo stamped her feet abruptly, her face covered in surprise.

At that time, the two girls who clashed with her, one Wang Jinzhi, had already been exiled, and the rest was Wan Caixia, a girl from the Wan family.

The one that passed just now should be the latter.

What surprised her was naturally not Wan Caixia, but Li Guangyu's memory.

"Brother Guangyu, how do you remember so clearly?"

Li Guangyu said with a serious face: "I always remember things related to you very clearly."

The first scene, during the years of separation, had been replayed in his mind thousands of times, how could it not be remembered deeply?

Yingruo scratched his palm like a kitten.

Li Guangyu tightened his grip happily, "Are you feeling overwhelmed?"

"What?" Yingruo's ears were filled with heart-piercing voices, some of them couldn't hear clearly.

Li Guangyu turned her small face looking towards the lake, "After such a thing happened, are you still in the mood to swim in the lake?"

Yingruo sighed, "I'm just feeling a little bit emotional, people should not be too greedy, otherwise, once it turns into a bitter fruit, it's not just one person who suffers." She pointed with her finger, "Like that Mao Gui, Knowing that the government has regulations, you still go up against the wind. Why? It’s not because you are greedy for free fish. In the end, your life is gone, leaving behind such a young wife, no children, and an old Gaotang. It's a human tragedy."

Li Guangyu said: "Thinking too much again! Sun Jian said, let you think less."

Yingruo said: "Brother Guangyu, from others to yourself, don't climb up too fast, let's be steady, okay?"

Mao Gui's death was attributed to greed, but not necessarily only his own greed, but also the responsibility of his wife Wan Caixia, not persuading her is one thing, if there is also the instigation of gluttony during pregnancy, it is an added crime.

In the years that followed, Wan Caixia not only had to bear the pain of losing her husband, but also suffered from regrets every day.

She doesn't want to be the second Wan Caixia!

She knew that a large part of his wandering in the officialdom was for her, to give her a better life.

However, she was afraid now, afraid that if she couldn't hold back, things would be far beyond her control.

"Silly girl!" Li Guangyu looked at her with pity, "Don't worry, I've been walking very steadily, every step is very steady."

Yingruo grabbed his hand vigorously, "I don't care about Madam Gao, I don't want you to work too hard, I just want you to accompany me well, until the hair is gray, and we will go to the mountains to watch the stars together."

　happy weekend!
