Chapter 81 It’s definitely not good this late
"Of course, your Sixth Grandpa hasn't seen the child yet. Bring him here, bring him here." Sixth Grandpa Gu agreed readily.
Gu Xiaoxi smiled at her father and uncle, then quickly walked out of the house and out of the yard.
Grandpa Gu Liu lives at the entrance of the village, so she needs to walk a distance to get home.
It was past midnight and there was hardly anyone on the road, so she simply started jogging.
However, before she could run back home, she saw a stealthy figure climbing over the wall from the adjacent yard.
It's definitely not good this late!
She doesn't like gossip, but this village is too complicated, and it doesn't seem like a bad thing to know some of other people's secrets.
So she followed quietly.
Gu Tian cautiously walked out of the deserted yard, holding a piece of meat in his hand. He looked around to make sure there was no one around, and then hurried back.
Gu Xiaoxi followed him to the outside of their yard and saw him knock on the gate. Soon the door opened and Gu Tian's wife pulled him in.
How could a door stop her?
She looked around, then climbed over the wall into the yard.
There was only one light on in the house in the yard. She went around to the back window, put her ear against the wall and listened to what was said inside, keeping the same posture.
"Why is there only this piece of meat? Luo Laosan usually makes a lot of money, how come he doesn't have any money at all? Did you hide it?" After saying this, Gu Tian's wife began to search her husband.
Gu Tian shook off his wife's hand and said impatiently, "I want to hide it privately, so I won't tell you where I'm going."
"How could this happen? That guy usually eats and drinks well, so he should leave some food at home." Gu Tian's wife looked puzzled.
Gu Tian felt a little tired, yawned and lay down, then suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, you haven't told me why you stopped associating with Ximing's wife?"
Gu Tian's wife was hesitant and didn't want to say it, but she felt uncomfortable after keeping it in her heart for so long.
"Could it be that you pushed her down?" Gu Tian suddenly realized this.
Seeing that her husband had guessed it, Gu Tian's wife stopped pretending and admitted, "She said that the weeds were valuable. I pushed her in a hurry, and she fell down without a firm footing.
But, it was just a weed, a worthless weed, which really pissed me off.
Although, she may have forgotten about it after hitting her head, she might remember it later, so I'd better stay away from her."
After hearing this, Gu Tian yawned and said, "That woman is a lunatic now. You'd better be careful. If she gets upset one day, she might kill you!"
"Don't worry, she is crazy about money now and has no time to care about me! Come on, let's stew the meat now to avoid any more trouble." Gu Tian's wife wanted to take a bite of the raw meat.
Gu Tian stood up and poked his wife's forehead with his finger, complaining: "You stupid woman, don't forget that A Guang's wife has a dog nose. If you dare to cook meat at home, they can come over in the middle of the night."
Gu Tian’s wife thought her husband was right, so she put the piece of meat in a basin under the bed, turned off the lights and went to sleep.
Gu Xiaoxi waited for a while, climbed over the wall and left, then walked around to her own door and knocked on it.
Gu Nanming moved a chair and sat under the eaves, covered himself with the torn cotton coat, and fell asleep exhausted.
There was a knock on the door. He opened his eyes drowsily and saw that Afeng had opened the door.
Gu Xiaoxi saw Afeng coming to open the door, and quickly closed the door after entering.
"Afeng, is the wound starting to hurt?" she asked worriedly.
"Mom, it doesn't hurt." Gu Feng shook his head, but did not tell the truth. In the evening, his wound began to hurt, but he just didn't make a sound.
Even if that wasn't the case, Gu Xiaoxi could still tell from Afeng's voice that the anesthetic had probably worn off.
Gu Nanming stood up from his chair when he heard his sister's voice.
"My sister is back. How is Brother Jin?" he asked anxiously.
“The wound has been healed, but it’s too severe, so I have to stay with him at night. I’m worried about Afeng, so I plan to take him over.
"Oh, go call big brother. Dad and uncle are both drunk. You have to carry them back later." Gu Xiaoxi remembered this.
"Okay, I'll go and ask my brother to go out with me." After saying that, Gu Nanming went to find his brother.
Gu Dongming was not asleep in the first place, and came out when he heard the noise.
When he learned that his father and uncle had drunk too much, he went back to tell his wife and went out with his third brother and sister.
The group followed the familiar road to Grandpa Gu Liu's house. When they came in, they saw that the three of them were drunk.
After saying goodbye to Sixth Grandpa, Gu Dongming and Gu Nanming carried Gu He and Gu An back home.
Gu Xiaoxi placed Afeng in the room cleaned up by Aunt Gu Yuan. Seeing that Afeng looked a little uneasy, she knew that he must be in great pain.
"Take this and go to sleep!" She gave him a pill.
Afeng ate it obediently, and soon began to feel sleepy.
Gu Xiaoxi waited until Afeng fell asleep and then went to Gu Jin's room, where Gu Cheng was guarding.
However, after a tiring day, Gu Cheng felt sleepy and fell asleep on the bench.
Gu Xiaoxi walked carefully to the bedside and reached out to touch Gu Jin's forehead. Is there any problem for the time being?
She walked out of the room and saw Aunt Gu Yuan standing in the yard.
"Xiaoxi, go to sleep, I'll watch over her." Gu Yuan's wife was also sleepy, but she was worried that her eldest son couldn't sleep.
"Aunt Gu Yuan, it will take some time for Brother Jin to recover, so please don't overwork yourself.
Why don't you go get some sleep first and come over later to take over from Brother Cheng?" Gu Xiaoxi suggested.
Gu Yuan’s wife felt that this was the only way, so she turned around and went back to rest.
Gu Xiaoxi took a short nap during the day and is now in a slightly better condition than them.
Tonight is very important. Not only Gu Jin, but Afeng may also have a fever.
After thinking about it, she simply went in and woke Gu Cheng up: "Brother Cheng, go and bring Afeng over and put him on this chair, then you go back to sleep, I'll watch over them both."
Gu Cheng had gone hunting in the mountains during the day and was exhausted after a long day. When he heard Xiaoxi say that, he just did as she said.
After Gu Cheng left, Gu Xiaoxi took out a book from the space and read it to pass the time.
By the early morning, her eyelids could no longer remain drooping, so she yawned loudly and dozed off against the wall.
At this time, Gu Yuan's wife walked in. When she saw Gu Xiaoxi still holding a book in her hand with her eyes closed, she knew that she must be exhausted.
She carefully put the book in Xiaoxi's hand on the table next to her. Just as she was about to reach out to touch her eldest son's head, she saw Afeng on the chair twisting his head uneasily.
"No, no, mother, mother, save me, mother..." Afeng shouted.
When Gu Xiaoxi heard Afeng's voice, she immediately stood up, shook her head, and walked forward to touch his head.
Oops!
The fire is on and he's talking in his sleep. We must not let Aunt Gu Yuan hear anything.
"Why is this child talking in his sleep?" Gu Yuan's wife asked curiously.
