Chapter 120 Homecoming
There are many mountains and rivers in the Shouling area. It rained for a long time. Although the rain was not heavy, the streams on the mountain became a little surging. Guzhuang was located in a valley. For a time, most of the village was slightly lower-lying. Mud flowed across the mountain. The wood rolling down the mountain and sharp stones popped out from time to time.
Wang Ermu drove the car and took Gu Xiang back to the village. He saw that most of the house in his family had collapsed from a distance.
Gu Xiang looked around and saw no one. He wiped the water from his face. Through the rain and fog, he saw a lot of debris piled up on the stones, ticking and running water.
Most of them were tattered beds and several chairs. The bookcase used by Goro was also there, hanging onto the tree branch and head was shaking.
Zhou Dongniang saw Gu Xiang from afar, and hesitated for a while, and did not care about the disarray between the two families. He hurried over and said, "Sanniang, your house suddenly collapsed the night before. Fortunately, Doctor Zhang was nearby and took several young men from the village to dig out all the people. No one died, but the old man. The old lady was injured by the waist and legs and feet and could not move. Your aunt was knocked to her head, and now she lives in a dilapidated temple next to the temple on the hillside in the south."
"Sanniang, you are back. The crops in the fields have been poor in the past few years. Once the rent is paid, every household has no surplus grain. Your family's grain has also been washed away. Yesterday I heard that your mother went to the river to catch a lot of aquatic plants and went back to eat. Oh, how can you eat those things?"
Gu Xiang: "..."
She was shocked and suddenly woke up. Suddenly, she felt the farming script that had been whispering several times in her heart. Finally, she slammed her head down with a clang.
But at the beginning, the house collapsed, lived in a dilapidated temple, and lived in a wild vegetable life. It was wrong. I am afraid that even the wild vegetables that made a living would be gone... It would be too desolate.
Zhou Dongniang looked dark and thin, with bones protruding and deep eye sockets. The Zhou family is a wealthy family in the village. Except for the Liu family and other families, most farmers are far inferior to their Zhou family. Even so, Zhou Dongniang looked so thin that she looked very thin, which shows that the village is indeed not very good recently.
It seems that the pear paste businesses she has worked hard to promote have not played a big role in the end.
But Gu Xiang still felt relieved.
A smile appeared on her face, and she politely thanked Zhou Dongniang, and then drove the car to the ruined temple with Wang Ermu.
Sure enough, after walking for a while, I saw the crowds of people in the dilapidated temple. One of them was walking on the mountain road with firewood on his back. It was Gu Laoshi.
Gu Xiang felt more at ease in an instant.
When she first came, she didn't care about anything and only cared about her own life.
Later, she gradually felt something else in her heart. She was very attached to the family affection given to her by her parents. Even for the rest of the Gu family, she also had the intention of loving the house and the mist.
Since Gu Xiang received the bequeath of the original owner and survived, she was grateful in her heart. She hoped that the original owner's parents and relatives could live well, which was considered a kind of repaying the deep kindness.
In the plot, Gu Zhuang's destruction has always been the knot in Gu Xiang's heart. He is not revealed on his face and always thinks in his heart.
Now it seems that the disaster may have passed, at least one hurdle has passed, I just hope that it will come to great prosperity and no more seedlings.
"Sanniang."
As soon as Gu Xiang lifted the curtain, Gu Laoshi didn't know if it was because of his blessing. He looked up and saw her. He immediately showed endless joy. He rushed to the side of the car in two steps, and tears rolled down: "Where have you been these days? It's so scary that my father is so scared."
Gu Laoshi had nothing else in his eyes. He only looked at his daughter, looked left and right and was worried, "I lost weight, I lost a lot."
Wang Ermu took all the firewood with great eyesight, allowing the father and daughter to speak well.
Gu Xiang smiled bitterly. She was not thin. She has eaten well these days. Even in Ningwa Village, she is delicious and delicious. She is clearly nourished and has a very bright skin. She is so shiny that Gu Laoshi has a haggard face.
The mountain road was hard to walk, so she simply jumped out of the car and walked with her father.
"A while ago, I heard that most of the barracks were burning, and the fires surged into the sky. The news came, and I was so scared that I rushed to the ground. As a result, when I asked, they said that you had asked for leave and left the barracks, and I didn't know what to do."
Gu Laoshi looked scared.
"If you hadn't sent me a letter before, Old Du kept comforting me, saying that you were taking the soldiers out together, maybe there was something important, and there would be no problem with safety. I, I really... If something happens to you, how can your mother and I live?"
Gu Xiang couldn't help but show a hint of apology on his face.
"Dad, do you know, what's going on in the camp now?"
"I heard that the situation has stabilized."
Gu Laoshi sighed, "It's not clear whether it's specific. Shouling County is closed down and there is no entry or exit at all. Several villages around have been bandits, and there are also a group of people in our village. There are not many people. Zhou Dong took a few strong men from the village to take back, and in the end he only gave them a few bags of grain."
"Now the whole village is worried, but don't worry, our family is fine. When you sent a letter, you said that there were so many thieves outside. I thought about it and hid the family's important money and grain in the mountains. No matter how difficult it is, the family can still be withstood for a while."
While speaking, Gu Xiang arrived at the front of the dilapidated temple and saw that it was not just their household, but there were many people crowded in the three lobbies of the dilapidated temple.
There are some familiar faces, and many new faces.
"There are all relatives who come to join us. There are too many people and the village cannot live in it. Although this place is dilapidated, it is best to be able to block the wind and rain."
Gu Huzhen sighed, "Don't worry, our house can still be built. The weather will be better in a few days, so my elder brother and I will go back to repair the house."
"When our house was built, it used good materials. Your grandfather was concerned about it a lot. Why did other people get nothing wrong with us? It happened to our family."
And most of the whole house collapsed.
He muttered a few words and did not dare to pronounce them loudly.
Nowadays, people believe in the fate of ghosts and gods. If it is said that the foundation of the house is unstable, it is just a man-made disaster. If you want to say a few more words and be leaned against by people on those fates, it would be amazing.
There is still a daughter in the family who has not been married, and the son is waiting to get married. This reputation is really more precious than gold.
Gu Xiang instantly thought of what Duke An Guo said to her not long ago.
"It's really...a turbulent."
Gu Xiang carefully entered the temple gate and looked at the old couple of Gu family. The old couple was asleep, looking clean, and his eyes fell on the old lady Zhang. Gu Xiang was shocked. The old lady had a negative state on her body - she had a dying ambition.
“…”
"Hey, the old man is fine. In the future, the legs and feet may be a little inconvenient, and he cannot do heavy work. The old lady is injured too much. She is afraid that she will have to rest all year round in the future. If nothing happens in a while, I will go to Doctor Zhang to see if there is any other way."
Just as he was talking, he heard a depressed quarrel outside, "Do you want face? Can you eat or drink face, or can your son study? My daughter is gone, and only Siro is left by our side. Do you have the heart to drag him down?"
