Chapter 296 You Have the Best Luck

"You're the one who's too focused on comparing size." Gu Tang rolled his eyes at him, squeezed forward and asked, "What the hell are you two doing?"

"My father asked me to catch two big roosters, saying they were for the funeral, and he specifically told me to get the two biggest ones. I called my cousin to help me compare all the roosters and pick out the two biggest ones."

Gu Tang raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Funeral? What? Have you discussed Dani's matter?"

"It's been discussed. The Guan family is adamant they want Dani buried in Uncle Baoshan's graveyard. Otherwise, they'll file a complaint with the government, saying that Uncle Baoshan, his mother, and his sister conspired to deliberately kill Aunt Guan and her daughter. They also want a coroner to perform an autopsy, saying the injuries on Aunt Guan and her daughter were definitely not caused by the beams."

Gu Ping'an pointed to the south and continued, "Uncle Baoshan's family was terrified and agreed to the Guan family's request to bury Aunt Guan and her daughter in Uncle Baoshan's graveyard to the south.

The clan leader and his men are looking for someone to dig a grave. They want to bury the mother and daughter together, so they need to dig a large grave. Dad and Grandpa are both over there. Dad will go dig the grave later. There is strength in numbers, so I hope we can dig it out today."

"It's freezing cold, and breaking ground will probably take some time."

"That's what my father said. Everything needed for the funeral has been prepared. As soon as the grave is dug, we can bury the body immediately."

The roads are blocked by heavy snow, so it's not convenient for a fortune teller to come and look at the tomb. We can only let the village's half-baked fortune teller take a rough look, just to avoid any disturbance."

Gu Tang didn't understand this, so he didn't discuss it. He pointed to the two roosters closest to Gu Ping'an and asked him to catch them.

"These two are the biggest, and they're red roosters. Let's catch these two."

"Hey!" Gu Ping'an rolled up his sleeves and called out to Agou, "Cousin, help me catch the chicken!"

Agou was very quick and took action as soon as Gu Ping'an finished speaking.

The rooster that was eating millet in front of Gu Ping'an hadn't reacted yet when someone grabbed its neck!

Gu Tang's eyelids twitched, and he couldn't help but remind him: "These are chickens, not ducks. Please be gentle when you grab their necks."

"Don't worry, it's not a big deal." Agou held a chicken in each hand and let them scream and flutter around.

Gu Pingan hurriedly opened the sack: "Put it in the bag!"

Two fat roosters were thrown into the bag one after another, and Gu Ping'an hurriedly tied the bag with a rope.

This is a bag made of burlap with large gaps that do not affect the rooster's breathing.

After tying the bag, Gu Ping'an carried it on his back, saying that he was going to deliver it to someone.

"Oh, by the way, second sister, there's a small cloth bag on the table in the main room. It contains three hundred copper coins. The Guan family gave it to me. They said it was for buying chickens."

"Why did you give them the money? Take it back and return it to the Guan family. Just say that this chicken is a small token of our appreciation and we won't accept their coins."

"Dad told me to accept it. He said that all the money used for the funeral was from Uncle Baoshan's family. Dad said that if it was from the Guan family, we wouldn't accept it, but since it's from Uncle Baoshan's family, then we'll accept it."

Gu Tang paused, then immediately understood what her father meant.

I guess it's the same for other families in the village. As long as the Guan family gives them copper coins, they will definitely take them all.

Anyway, this money does not belong to the Guan family. After they take it, if Gu Baoshan asks for the remaining money, he will have a reason to say that the money was spent on funeral expenses.

"Second sister, do you want to go with us?" Gu Ping'an took two steps with the chicken on his back, then suddenly stopped and asked Gu Tang if she wanted to go with him.

He knew that Gu Tang loved to join in the fun.

Surprisingly, this time Gu Tang actually shook his head: "I won't go, lest I get angry if I see you."

Gu Ping'an nodded. Indeed, the behavior of Uncle Baoshan's family would make anyone who saw them angry.

"Then I'm leaving."

After saying something to Gu Tang, he carried two chickens to the front yard.

Gu Tang sent him to the gate of the courtyard. The snow had stopped today, and the view was wide and clear. She could see the figures of people on the road at the end of the village from outside the gate.

She stood outside the courtyard gate, watching Gu Ping'an's figure until he entered Gu Baoshan's courtyard, then she went back.

Agou was waiting for her by the side. When he saw her come back, he came up to her and told her what she had told him yesterday.

"The matter you instructed me yesterday has come to fruition. This lucky person has a..."

Gu Tang looked surprised and stopped in his tracks: "There it is right in front of me? Who is it?"

"Gu Ping'an."

"Ah? Ping'an?" Gu Tang's voice rose in shock. "Are you seeing right? Ping'an doesn't look like someone with great luck. He and the original owner are both pitiful."

"You're right, it's indeed him. If you hadn't come through, he would have been the next to die after the original owner died.

His luck is quite unique. The more hardships he encounters, the more he turns them into blessings, and his momentum soars to the sky. Judging from his luck, it is red with purple, and he will definitely be promoted to a high position and a wealthy family in the future.

"really?"

"really."

Gu Tang laughed. "This is truly a case of searching high and low for something, only to find it without any effort. I never expected there would be someone blessed with good fortune right before my eyes... No! I've been with him every day, and I haven't seen any good luck from opening blind boxes!"

"His good fortune is quite special. When things are going smoothly, this good fortune is hidden deep within him. You can't get to it. It only appears when he encounters hardship."

"That's useless, I can't make people suffer for no reason just to get lucky, right?

Ping'an is living a smooth life now. He is studying and taking the imperial examinations step by step. He will surely be able to hold a high position and enjoy a good salary in the future. This is a good thing.

If you insist on making people suffer, how much hatred and resentment must you have? You should find someone else to deal with this matter, and let it go in peace."

"I know you're reluctant, but there's another way."

Agou approached Gu Tang and whispered, "Take out your gift box and let Gu Ping'an open it personally."

"Take out the gift box?" Gu Tang was startled for a moment, then looked at Agou intently: "Have you ever thought about what would happen if it got exposed?"

"No." Agou said confidently, "I know a little bit about your system. If someone other than the host opens the gift box, it will be empty. The rewards opened will not be seen by outsiders. The system will drop the rewards into the system backpack.

To an outsider, it's just a fancy little box, but when you open it, it's still empty. He'll think you're teasing him and won't notice anything's wrong."

Gu Tang breathed a sigh of relief and headed towards the west wing: "If that's the case, then we can give it a try! When he comes back later, I'll ask him to help unpack it!"

She signed in and received five gift boxes in total these days.

One skill gift box, two life gift boxes, one spice gift box, and one winter gift box.

There's also the lottery. She's been saving up for a long time and finally collected ten consecutive draws... Wait a minute! I forgot to ask Agou, how can I get Ping An to help me draw this lottery?

Gu Tang came back and asked Agou how to draw the lottery.

"Then there's nothing we can do. You're reluctant to let Gu Ping'an go through hardships to unleash the good fortune in him, so the lottery will have to rely on you alone.

Or, you can wait a little longer while I search and see if I can find another lucky person, and then you can try your luck and win the lottery?"

"How long will that take? I've collected all ten draws, just waiting to get them all together when the blind box opens. If I separate them, the joy will only be half."

Agou couldn't understand Gu Tang's idea. Drawing a lottery and opening blind boxes together would double the happiness.

If you choose one of the two, the happiness will be half gone.

He couldn't understand the difference, so he could only continue to coax her: "Why don't you just draw first, and then we can slowly accumulate more after you've drawn ten. Maybe when you accumulate ten draws next time, the lucky person will come into our hands.

Things in this world are extremely unpredictable and unpredictable. Only the happiness you have right now is real."

There is some truth in what Agou said.

"Then do as you say. Let Ping An open the blind box, and I'll draw the raffle myself. It's the two of us, and double the happiness is real."

After saying this, Gu Tang rushed back to the house.

Agou didn't disturb her. He estimated that it was almost time and went to the kitchen to cook.

After breakfast, let her draw a lottery and open the blind box.

If she missed the chance to participate in the lottery, given her personality, she would definitely be angry and sad, and would definitely not eat the meal.

Gu Ping'an, who went to deliver the rooster, didn't know that Gu Tang was waiting for him to come back to open the blind box. After arriving at Gu Baoshan's house, he handed the two chickens to the Guan family, then turned around and went home, unwilling to stay any longer.

However, he did not come back alone, his third uncle came back with him.

Gu Baoshan's house was in a mess, with people all over the yard. The old man was annoyed by the noise and asked the clan leader. After confirming that nothing was wrong for the time being, the third uncle left Gu Baoshan's house with Gu Ping'an.

Gu Tang had already taken out the five blind boxes and placed them on the table one by one. Then he stood at the gate of the yard, looking eagerly to the west, hoping that Gu Ping'an would come back soon.

She had very good eyesight, and she recognized Gu Ping'an not long after he came out of Gu Baoshan's house.

She also recognized the figure of her third uncle.

Agou came out of the yard, looked west along her gaze, and recognized the grandparents and grandchildren.

He turned his head and glanced at Gu Tang. Seeing how excited she was, he felt that drawing the lottery after breakfast was the best decision.

"The meal is almost ready. Let's have a good meal and then draw the blind box. After a person has eaten and drunk enough, their aura is harmonious and harmonious, which is perfect for the draw."

"Really?" Gu Tang was extremely superstitious at the moment. She was willing to try any method that could increase her luck, whether true or false.

"Really." Agou said firmly.

Gu Tang believed it and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you and smoke after breakfast!"

When Gu Ping'an supported his third uncle and arrived at the door of the house, the first thing he saw was Gu Tang's bright smile.

For some reason, looking at Gu Tang like this, Gu Ping'an's heart trembled and his scalp tingled.

"Second sister? You...what happy thing happened to you? You're laughing...you're laughing like a morning glory."

Is this a compliment to her?

The smile on Gu Tang's face paused.

Third Uncle smiled and helped Gu Ping'an make amends: "There are no morning glory in winter, only plum blossoms, which are the most tenacious. If a girl has this quality, it would be wonderful."

This is what compliments people.

Gu Tang's smile deepened. He stepped forward, pushed Gu Ping'an aside, took his place and supported his third uncle.

"Grandpa is the best at praising people. When the weather warms up tomorrow, have my dad find a plum tree and plant it in the yard. When it blooms next year, we can all enjoy the plum blossoms in the snow together."

"That's a good idea! It would be best to find a red plum blossom..."

The grandfather and grandson chatted and laughed, and walked into the yard affectionately, leaving Agou and Gu Ping'an there.

Gu Ping'an leaned closer to Agou and asked him quietly, "I'm going to be out for a while. What happened to my second sister? Did something happen to her? That smile...it looks like a smile, but for some reason, I feel a chill down my spine!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Agou's eyes.

This kid has quite a keen sense.

"It's true that I encountered some problems..." Agou said half of it and left the other half, with a strange smile on his face.

You guys better be lucky enough to get what she wants when you open the blind box. If you fail, you’re done!

"What happened? Just tell me more." Gu Ping'an stomped his feet. This guy didn't even tell the whole story!

"I dare not reveal it privately. Your second sister will tell you after dinner."

Gu Ping'an: ...Then you shouldn't have mentioned this just now!

This was just the beginning, but the rest of the story suddenly stopped. He didn't know whether it was good or bad, which made him even more nervous!

Agou ignored him and went back to the kitchen to cook two dishes, and breakfast was ready.

With something on his mind, Gu Tang ate much faster today and was the first one to put down his chopsticks.

Gu Ping'an was also preoccupied with something, so he took his time while eating today, which made Gu Tang gradually become impatient.

"You usually eat very quickly, why are you so slow today? Eat faster, I'm getting impatient."

Gu Pingan shuddered: "...Second sister is waiting for me?"

"Nonsense, I would have left the table without waiting for you!"

Gu Ping'an's scalp began to numb again: "...but do you have something to talk to me about?"

More nonsense.

Gu Tang rolled his eyes at him and asked directly, "Are you full?"

Damn it, this is indeed something...

Facing Gu Tang's gaze, Gu Ping'an couldn't eat anymore.

"I'm full..."

These two words cheered up Gu Tang. She stood up and said, "Now that you are full, come with me to the west wing. I need your help with something."

He walked out hurriedly, and when he lifted the door curtain, he looked back, only to see Gu Ping'an still sitting there stupidly, not following him at all.

"Didn't you hear what I just said? Come with me to the west wing. I need your help with something."

"Ah? Oh oh oh, here, here I come." Gu Ping'an hurriedly got up and followed, feeling uneasy.

Gu Ping'an's abnormal behavior was noticed by his uncle, who was very puzzled: "What's wrong with Ping'an? Why does he look a little absent-minded?"

Ah Gou blinked and said calmly, "I guess it's the cold. When people are cold, their reactions are slower and they look like they're out of their minds."

Cold?

Third Uncle thought about Gu Ping'an delivering the chickens just now. In such a cold day, it would be easy for a child to catch a cold if he had to go back and forth outside.

"Is the stove in Tang's room still burning? If it is, Ping An can warm himself by the fire."

"It's burning. Don't worry, Ping An is not stupid. When he sees the stove, he will definitely go to warm himself."

Agou continued to fool around and successfully got away with it.

West Wing.

Gu Ping'an was rarely reserved.

"Second sister, what do you want me to do for you?"

But please don't let it be something he can't do!
