Chapter 8: beat them to death

Chapter 8 Beat them to death

Zheng paused for a moment. This was indeed the village's rule.

When Qian Lier saw Zheng's intention to leave the hotel, she secretly scolded Zheng for not taking responsibility, and said to Gu Jinli: "Cousin Xiaoyu, don't embarrass your fourth aunt. It was grandma and grandpa who asked fourth aunt to come to your place to get things. Grandpa said, if there is no separation of families, the things you find belong to the family."

When Mrs. Zheng heard this, she immediately felt confident: "Yes, your father said that our family is not divided. You must hand over everything you find. Bring the Sichuan grass vegetables."

Zheng rushed up to grab the Sichuan vegetables. Gu Jinli dodged and Zheng was unable to catch up and fell to the ground.

Qian Lier hurriedly went to help Zheng: "Fourth Aunt, are you okay?"

She turned to accuse Gu Jinli: "Cousin Xiaoyu, how can you push down the fourth aunt? Do you still have the elder fourth aunt in your eyes?"

Mrs. Zheng fell down without even scratching her skin. When she heard Qian Lier's words, she immediately howled: "Oh, come and see, everyone, Gu Xiaoyu, this little shrew, pushed me down. My knees hurt so much that I couldn't stand up. I am her fourth aunt, and she is using violence against her elders."

The surrounding people in Gujia Village heard the noise and didn't even look at it. They were tired of hearing about the commotion at Uncle Gu Liu's house every day, and they were too lazy to care about it and couldn't do anything about it.

Aunt Gu Liu was fierce and cunning, and she liked to chat with the Dashan family. Even the lower-class juniors also took pleasure in chatting with the Dashan family.

Zheng's five-year-old son Gu Chengzhi was playing nearby. When he heard Zheng's voice, he ran over and saw Zheng sitting on the ground howling. His little face turned red with anger. When he found Gu Jincheng standing by the straw mat, he rushed towards Gu Jincheng. , with a bang, knocked Gu Jincheng down, sat on Gu Jincheng's body, made fists with both hands, and beat Gu Jincheng crazily.

 “Let you bully my mother and beat you to death.”

Gu Jincheng was beaten and burst into tears. He wanted to resist, but he was not yet four years old and was severely hungry. He was no match for Gu Chengzhi, who was five years old and had enough to eat every day. He was beaten with bruises and swollen face in the blink of an eye.

 “Cheng Geer.”

 “Cheng Geer.”

 Seeing Brother Cheng being beaten, Gu Jinli and Gu Jinxiu dropped what they were holding and hurried over.

Gu Jinli grabbed Gu Chengzhi's hands to prevent him from hitting Brother Cheng again, and said to Gu Jinxiu: "Sister, take Brother Cheng away quickly."

"Hey." Gu Jinxiu responded, taking advantage of the gap when Gu Jinli pulled Gu Chengzhi away, hugged Brother Cheng, and stepped back, far away from Gu Chengzhi.

Gu Chengzhi was grabbed by Gu Xiaoyu, kicked his feet wildly, and cursed: "You bitch, let me go, or I'll sell you my milk."

Gu Jinli kicked Gu Chengzhi and dragged him back.

When Zheng saw Gu Chengzhi being caught by Gu Jinli, she immediately rushed over and scratched Gu Jinli's face with both hands: "Gu Xiaoyu, let go of Brother Zhi quickly."

Gu Jinli tilted his head, avoided Zheng's hand, pulled Gu Chengzhi in front of him, and warned with cold eyes: "Try moving again?"

Gu Jinli didn't say anything to say to Gu Chengzhi, but her appearance at the moment was so scary that Zheng was startled and stopped and didn't dare to move.

"You, what do you want to do?" Zheng's voice was trembling.

Gu Jinli said: "I don't want to do anything, I just want to fight the bandits."

"Mom, don't talk nonsense to that bitch. Beat her, beat her to death. She shouldn't live." Gu Chengzhi was spoiled as a little bully at a young age. He always felt that he was superior to others, while Gu Dashan's family was humble and worthless. He is a servant of their family and can be beaten and scolded by him as he pleases.

 Gu Jinli sneered when he heard Gu Chengzhi's curse words, and pressed an acupuncture point on Gu Chengzhi's left shoulder. Gu Chengzhi immediately cried out in pain.

There was a lot of commotion here, Qian Lier picked up the Sichuan vegetables and bamboo tubes on the ground, and walked to Lao Gu's house.

When Gu Jinli saw this, he narrowed his eyes and threw Gu Chengzhi away. He turned around and chased after Qian Lier, snatching back all the Sichuan vegetables and bamboo tubes she was holding: "Bring them here."

Qian Li'er didn't expect that Gu Jinli would catch up. After the things were robbed, her face darkened: "Cousin Xiaoyu, my grandma asked me to take these wild vegetables. If you don't give them to me, you have to think about the consequences."

Gu Jinli ignored her threat and left holding her things.

Being ignored by Gu Jinli, Qian Li'er felt very angry. She snorted coldly, ignored Zheng and Gu Chengzhi, ran to find Mrs. Gu, and made a fuss about what Gu Jinli had done.

Gu Jinli tied Sichuan grass vegetables and bamboo tubes to his body, ran back to his resting place, rolled up the mat directly, and said to Gu Jinxiu: "Sister, pick up brother Cheng, the third grandma wants us to rest at her house tonight Let's spend the night on the ground."    Old Mrs. Gu will never give up after the commotion just now. It's better for the family to stay away tonight, lest Old Mrs. Gu goes crazy and beats people.

Gu Jinxiu was also afraid that Mrs. Gu would hit someone, so she nodded quickly, hugged Brother Cheng and followed Gu Jinli away.

Seeing that Gu Jinli and the others were gone, Gu Chengzhi covered his sore hands and kicked Zheng while crying: "Hit them, mother, go hit them quickly and beat them to death!"

Zheng was frustrated one after another today, and she was so angry that she slapped Gu Chengzhi on the back: "Why are you beating me? I'll go back with my mother to find your milk."

 …

Gu Jinli took Gu Jinxiu and Cheng Ge'er to the resting place of the third grandmother's house.

On the way, they met Gu Dashan and Gu Jinan who were returning from looking for food. The two of them had nothing to gain. They only had a bag of leaves, a basket of grass roots, and three dead mountain rats in their hands.

 Gu Jinli told them what happened just now, and then said to them: "Dad, brother, the third grandma has something to do with you. She asked you to go to her resting place after you get food."

Gu Jinan looked at Brother Cheng who was beaten with a bruised nose and face, and was very angry. He took Brother Cheng from Gu Jinxiu and asked, "Brother Cheng, does it hurt?"

 Brother Cheng shook his head: "It doesn't hurt anymore, big brother isn't angry."

 Gu Jinan felt even more uncomfortable when he heard this. Brother Cheng used to be very lively, but now he is becoming less and less talkative. He is really afraid that Brother Cheng will become like his eldest sister.

Gu Jinli touched Brother Cheng's head and said, "Brother Cheng, don't worry, the second sister has already avenged you."

 The touch she pressed on Gu Chengzhi's arm would make him hurt for half a month. In short, when will Brother Cheng's injury heal, and when will Gu Chengzhi's arm stop hurting?

Gu Dashan looked at Gu Jincheng, lowered his head and remained silent.

 Gu Jinli knew that he felt uncomfortable, but she hoped that he would be tougher, so she deliberately said: "Dad, Mom is not with us. What happened just now, if she comes back, she will definitely be **** off by her mother."

Gu Dashan was startled, thinking of how fiercely Mrs. Gu beat people, and said hurriedly: "You go to the third grandma first, and dad goes to your mother."

Gu Dashan left in a hurry with his things, and Gu Jinan took Gu Jinli and the others to the resting place of the third grandmother's house.

The resting place at Third Grandma’s house is under a dead tree, and the Luo family also spends the night here. Without the Luo family, Third Grandma and Third Grandpa alone would not be able to occupy such a good place.

By the time they arrived, a lot of people had gathered under the tree. In addition to the third grandmother's family and the Luo family, there were also the Tian family, Gu Damu, and Gu Dalin brothers' families.

At this moment, several families were sitting around under a dead tree talking about water sources. When they saw Gu Jinli and the others coming, they stopped talking.

The third grandma waved to Gu Jinli and said, "Xiaoyu, come here quickly. Your third grandpa and the others have something to ask you."

Gu Jinli knew they were going to ask about the underground waterway, so he hurried over and called people one by one.

The third grandfather was already in his early sixties. His face was dark and swarthy, a little tired, but his eyes were bright. He said to Gu Jinli: "Xiaoyu, tell me how you found the Sichuan grass vegetable."

Gu Jinli told the story of finding Sichuan Caocai in great detail.

"There are snail shells and Sichuan grass. The ground of Sichuan grass is dug one foot deep, and the soil changes from wet to muddy... This is indeed a sign of underground water." After hearing this, the third grandfather confirmed Gu Jinli's discovery.

He looked at the several families present and said: "But the water is not easy to get. You have to dig the soil. If you are lucky, you can dig out water after digging three to five meters. If you are not lucky, you may not be able to get out water even after digging ten meters. Do you do this?" Don’t you want to do it? If you do, we will share it equally if the water comes out. If it doesn’t come out of the water, you can’t blame Xiaoyu.”

The third grandfather looked at Gu Jinli and said, "The child is trying to find a way for us to survive. There is nothing wrong with that."

Gu Damu was a little hesitant. They had been on the road for a day and were already exhausted. If they went to dig for water, it would be fine if the water came out. If it didn't come out, it would be a waste of work and they would have to rush on their way tomorrow morning...

Seeing Gu Damu's hesitation, Gu Dalin advised, "Brother, our family doesn't have a drop of water. If we don't do this work, if we can't find water again tomorrow, the children won't be able to hold on."
