The worst time travel, surviving seven years of famine

The old man was very angry.

"Grandma, I think it's probably them who stole it!" Gu Liang said after listening to what Grandma Gu said. After hearing what Gu Liang said, Grandma Gu hurriedly asked Gu Liang why he said that.

Gu Liang said slowly: "Grandma, if a villager suddenly came to your house and said that his house was robbed, what would be your first reaction?"

Grandma Gu then paused and said: "If that person said that his house was robbed, my first reaction would naturally be to comfort that person and let him not be too sad."

"What if that person's words hinted that it might be you who stole it?" Gu Liang continued to ask.

After hearing Gu Liang's continued questioning, Mrs. Gu said without hesitation, "How could it be your grandma? Even if I starve to death, I will never steal things from other people's homes. But if others think it's me, I will of course deny it directly. I will say what I have been doing today, and who has been with me all the time, and she can testify."

"Yes, when a normal person hears that someone's home has been robbed, the first reaction must be to comfort others, right? Even if you are suspected by that person, the first thing you will do is to produce evidence to distance yourself from the matter." After hearing what Mrs. Gu said, Gu Liang also said sarcastically: "Grandma, look at that man again. His first reaction was neither to comfort us nor to clear himself, but to show anger, making you feel that you are slandering him, which is problematic in itself."

Gu Liang cleared his throat and said proudly for his judgment: "I just looked at Li Laitou's room and found a bamboo-cooked orchid bean on his table. If I'm not mistaken, this is a special dish for our wine!"

Gu Liang's statement was also approved by Mrs. Gu. As for being angry, everyone may have different personalities. But the orchid bean in May is already ripe, and they usually use it as a staple food. It's not meal time now, and there is no better explanation except for drinking. More importantly, these two things happened to be together, which is more suspicious.

"Liang'er, since we have confirmed that it was Li Laitou's family who stole the things, and we have also warned them, do we still need to notify other families now?"

"Of course we need to notify them, at least everyone in the village. But let's go home first, grandma, I want to eat tofu rice today."

"Okay, it's been hard to build the wall these days, so we'll have to eat tofu rice tonight. It's not too late now, so let's go back quickly. If we go any later, we don't know when we can eat."

After discussing what to eat for dinner, grandma and grandson walked home hand in hand. At the same time, Li Laitou's family was also eating the afternoon tea they had prepared.

"Son, you also heard what Mrs. Gu said at the door just now in the room. This wine is the wine they use to poison things. Don't drink it!"

"Dad, don't listen to their nonsense. I think they just don't want to give us a bargain. When I climbed in, the wine was placed in their room in good condition. How could it be poisoned?"

"It's hard to say. It's better to be safe than sorry. Let's not drink this wine."

"Old man, if you don't drink, I will. It's a pity not to use such good orchid beans with wine. You are just too timid. If you were brave enough to steal the food from the head of the village, my mother would not starve to death."

As the conversation between the two ended, Li Laitou stuffed a salt-cooked orchid bean and took a sip of white wine. The taste was indescribable.

"Ah~ cool, this Gu family's Bawangzui is really good wine, not only has a strong aroma, but also much stronger than ordinary wine, but a little spicy. Old thing, you really don't want to eat it, there will be no such store after this village. This wine is very precious, ordinary people can't afford it, and I don't know when I can drink it next time!" Li Laitou sighed involuntarily after taking a sip of wine.

Although Li Laitou has been persuading his father, that is, old Li Laitou, to drink this wine, old Li Laitou has never dared to drink it because of what Mrs. Gu said, and only dared to smell the aroma of the wine. Although this old Li Laitou also did some sneaky things when he was young, he always cherished his life and never dared to do anything dangerous. After his health collapsed and he needed his son's care, he could even endure his son's shameless call him an old thing.

On the Gu family side, the beans have been soaked in warm water. Because it is summer and time is tight, the beans are not completely soaked, but it doesn't matter much.

While Gu Liang and Old Lady Gu were grinding beans, the Gu family members gradually returned home. When they were boiling soy milk, the last person, Chen, also came home.

I'm back. The reason why Chen came back late was because she was worried that the person who stole the wine would be in danger if he drank it, so she almost ran to the neighboring village to inform the people of a single family.

After everyone arrived, they were very happy to see the soy milk boiled in the pot of Gu Laotai, because they all knew that they would eat tofu rice tonight.

Just as everyone in the Gu family was waiting for the soy milk to boil, preparing to drink a bowl of fragrant soy milk and eat a mouthful of hot tofu rice, there was a hurried knock at the door.

The knocking sound became more and more urgent, and it seemed that more than one person was knocking at the door. The Gu family members were originally gathered around the stove in the back kitchen, and they couldn't hear what was said at the gate of the wall. When they walked to the front of the house, they could already clearly hear what was said at the door.

"Gu family, you hurry up and come out, your family is going to kill someone!"

"Old man Gu, don't be a coward, give my nephew back his life."

"If you don't open the door, I will force my way in! You must give my cousin an explanation today."

Seeing this, Chen said to Old Man Gu in a hurry: "Dad, it seems that there are many people at the door, and they seem to be looking for trouble with our family."

At this time, Li ran to the gate of the courtyard and quickly blocked it with her body, while whispering to Gu Changping and Gu Changan to quickly block the door with sticks.

Old Man Gu heard the tone and meaning of the people outside, and it was obvious that they were not here to discuss things. They wanted to force their way into their house before they met, and they probably came with bad intentions.

Old Man Gu quickly told the people at the scene to block the door and not let them in. He also told Gu Liang and several children to take sticks and bamboo poles and knock him when they saw someone climbing over the wall.

After Old Man Gu explained these things, he hurried out the back door. He didn't know how many people came to the door. He couldn't open the door rashly in this situation. He had to find some helpers.

The helpers that Old Man Gu found were naturally his relatives. In the countryside, if a family wants to survive, in addition to having a son at home, the biggest reliance is these relatives. Although they may live their own lives on weekdays, and may even visit each other less or have conflicts with each other, in this situation, as long as he shouts, these relatives will definitely come out.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Old Man Gu called all his relatives together. There were more than 20 people from six families, including men, women, and the elderly. When they heard that Old Man Gu said someone was looking for trouble, they immediately picked up their weapons and followed Old Man Gu. Even Gu Dabao's grandmother next door, when she heard that Old Man Gu's family was in trouble, she didn't care about the rice that was cooking in the pot, picked up the most handy kitchen knife, and followed Old Man Gu.

Old man Gu brought more than 20 people into his house through the back door. He asked Old Lady Gu to guard the back door and she would only open the door when she heard his voice.
