Chapter 270: Accident
Chapter 270 Accident
The next day, after Gu Jinli and the others finished their morning chores, they took the prepared gifts and left Dafeng Village in Shang Xiucai's mule cart, driven by Gu Jinan.
Because they bought land in the town, several families were very happy and wanted to go see the land alone as a family, but the third grandfather couldn't say it. Today, he mainly went to Silifang to find Lao Kong and asked him to come forward and tell the people in the town. , stop throwing garbage on that land.
"This is business. Don't let too many people go. If there are too many people, it will be messy. After a while, after we finish busy with Lei Wuye's goods and have money to build a shop, we can go and see it together."
Several families thought it was reasonable, so today only the third grandfather, Gu Dashan, and Gu Jinli went to town.
Luo Huiniang was going to run a stall today, but she wanted to take a mule cart, so she followed Gu Jinli and the others and got on the mule cart.
They first went to Shang Xiucai's house to return the mule cart, and then told Shang Xiucai about the land purchase.
Shang Xiucai was surprised and said with a smile: "You are so lucky."
After knowing that they were going to the town to find Lao Kong, he asked Ah Jiu to go with them. With Ah Jiu around, Lao Kong would be more attentive to his work.
Third Grandpa and Gu Dashan thanked Shang Xiucai, took Gu Jinli and Luo Huiniang and left, heading towards the town.
This was Luo Huiniang's first time coming to Shang Xiucai's house. When she saw such a big house, she couldn't get enough of it. After leaving the Shang family's house, she even said many envious words.
Finally, he said proudly: "When I have money, I will build a house as good as Uncle Shang's house. Then I will leave a small yard for you to live and play in."
"Okay." Gu Jinli responded and talked with Luo Huiniang all the way. Two-quarters of an hour later, they arrived in the town.
Before they arrived at Si Lifang, they met Lao Kong and Kangzi on patrol.
“Uncle Kong and Brother Kangzi, it’s great to see you. We are looking for you.” Ah Jiu quickly ran to Lao Kong and told him his purpose.
After hearing this, Lao Kong asked the third grandfather who came over: "Mr. Gu, did you buy the wasteland outside the gatehouse?"
The Third Grandpa nodded: "I only bought some land near the road and planned to use it to build shops. As you know, all the shops in this town are already owned and no one is selling them. In three months, it will be summer." At that time, either the sun was too strong or there was too much rain, so it was difficult to set up our stall, so we had to build a shop."
"That's true." Lao Kong nodded, wondering how the Gu family bought that piece of land, but he didn't ask any more questions. He just said, "There is a land deed. You have to read the land deed before you can tell the people in the town. Let them throw their trash elsewhere.”
Otherwise the people in the town wouldn’t listen. After all, it has been thrown away for more than 20 years.
Gu Jinli took out the land deed and handed it to Lao Kong: "Uncle Kong, take a look."
Lao Kong didn't know much about literacy, but he could recognize the words "County Government Seal", "Qingfu Town" and "Twenty Mu Land". After reading it, he returned the land deed to Gu Jinli: "Okay, I'll take care of this. I'll inform the people in the town today and ask them to throw the garbage over there in the bamboo forest."
"Thank you, Brother Kong." Gu Dashan handed the gift he brought to Lao Kong: "Here are two pots of wine, two packets of sugar candies, as well as home-made spices and bean dregs cake. Brother Kong is taking it."
Old Kong happily accepted it and looked at the large bag of spices in the basket, which weighed at least five kilograms. He smiled from ear to ear and said, "Brother Gu, this is a generous gift from you."
The cheapest seasoning spices cost five hundred cents per catty. Five catties is two and a half silvers, which is more than his monthly salary.
Lao Kong and the others still had to patrol. After talking about business, they took their things and left.
Gu Jinli said: "Let's go to Grandpa Mi's house and ask him to dig a hole in the bamboo forest. From now on, let the people in the town throw garbage into the hole in the bamboo forest." "Okay." Third Grandpa nodded, thinking of the rice Gu Jinli was talking about. The old man and his wife were living a hard life, and when he thought that he and his wife were also destitute, they felt the same sorrow, so they went back to the meat stall, bought two kilograms of pork belly and a large piece of suet, and took them to Mr. Mi's house.
"Two old people must not be willing to eat and drink to live their lives. Let's buy some meat so that they can have a good meal." The third grandpa said, and Ajiu led the way, and soon they arrived at Mr. Mi's house.
It was still early. Mr. Mi had just returned from his morning chores and had not yet gone to bed. He saw Ah Jiu and the little girl coming again, and asked in a loud voice, "Why are you here again?"
Gu Jinli smiled and said: "Grandpa Mi, we have been to Huyun Temple, and the owner of the temple sold the land to us. We are here today to ask you to pick a place in the bamboo forest, dig a hole, and make it for the people in the town again. A dump."
"You guys really bought the land." Mr. Mi was surprised. When he saw the land deed handed over by Gu Jinli, he asked her a few things about Huyun Temple. He knew that she had really been to Huyun Temple. After meeting Master Hu, He sighed again: "It's fate. Okay, this matter will be taken care of by the old man. From now on, people in the town will no longer throw garbage on your land. Whoever dares to throw it will be scolded by the old man and won't give him a home." Pour night fragrance.”
Gu Jinli smiled and said, "Thank you, Grandpa Mi."
Things went smoothly. The third grandfather smiled and handed over the gifts he had brought. The old man Mi was not polite and accepted whatever he gave.
Gu Dashan saw that he was old and it was not easy to dig a hole, so he gave him one hundred coins as wages, and Mr. Mi also accepted it.
Milao Wen still needed to catch up on his sleep. They did not stay at his house for long and left after talking about the matter.
Third Grandpa said: "Xiaoyu, Dashan, you go back first, Hui Yatou and I will go to the stall to help."
"Hey, let's go back first. Please be careful on the way." Gu Dashan responded. After the group came out of the bamboo forest, they separated. The third grandfather and Luo Huiniang walked towards the tofu stall in the town.
When we were about to reach the gatehouse, a donkey suddenly rushed towards us. Sitting on the donkey was a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old. He was shouting at Luo Huiniang and the others with a frightened look on his face: "Get out of the way, get out of the way quickly!"
The donkey was frightened, spread its hooves and ran wildly. In the blink of an eye, it came to the third grandfather. Luo Huiniang hurriedly grabbed the third grandfather: "Third grandfather, be careful!"
The third grandfather was pulled away and was shocked. He saw the donkey heading straight towards Luo Huiniang: "Hui girl!"
boom!
There was the sound of something heavy hitting the ground.
"Ah~" Someone cried out in pain, but it was not a girl's voice, but a male voice.
Luo Huiniang was not hit. It was the young man who held on to the reins with all his strength. Finally, he and the donkey fell to the ground together.
The shocked pedestrians on the roadside hurriedly rushed up, pulled the young man away, and then stopped the donkey that had been braying to prevent it from stepping on the young man.
“Hangsheng, are you okay?”
"Hey, this ankle is swollen, it's injured. Come quickly, a few people, take this young man to the hospital."
The young man ignored his foot injury, looked at Third Grandpa and Luo Huiniang and said, "Old man, this girl, are you okay? I'm really sorry. My classmate's donkey didn't know what was going on, and he suddenly became angry. Crazy... don't worry, this is my fault, I, I will pay you money to calm your shock."
