Gu Linbei's voice was loud, and when he looked at Gu Laoer, his eyes were filled with deep disappointment.
As the elder brother, Gu Laoer left his younger brother in the mountains and was busy escaping for his life.
As Gu Linbei said this, the villagers who were originally watching the fun looked at Gu Laoer and pointed at him.
"How can there be such a person? How shameless!"
"That's right, that's his brother."
A group of people were talking to each other.
Gu Lao Er looked flustered at this moment.
His reputation was ruined by Lu Yan just yesterday.
That would be fine, Lu Yan is not a good person, and the villagers may not believe her.
But just one night later, Gu Linbei came forward to accuse him of not helping. Gu Laoer felt that his good days might be coming to an end.
"No, listen to my explanation..." Gu Lao Er gritted his teeth, his face full of helplessness: "I also know that if I stay, I will only become a burden to Lao Wu, so I want to go down the mountain early. You believe me..."
After Gu Lao Er finished speaking, he turned and looked at Gu Linbei again.
"Lao Wu, you really misunderstood me. If I stay, I will only become a burden to you! I just don't want to drag you down..." Gu Lao Er said sincerely, with tears and snot.
He was anxious to restore his reputation.
However, at this moment, Lu Yan chuckled.
Everyone was silent and watching Gu Laoer's performance, so Lu Yan's chuckle was actually very abrupt.
Gu Lao Er immediately turned to look at Lu Yan with a face full of resentment: "Fifth sister-in-law, what are you laughing at?"
"Of course I'm laughing at you for being full of lies." Lu Yan said, looking up at the people around him.
Finally, his gaze fell on Village Chief Zhou.
"Village Chief Zhou, I guess you saw me and Yu Nian coming down together just now, right?" Lu Yan asked.
Village chief Zhou was stunned for a moment, then nodded to indicate that he saw it.
Lu Yan shrugged and began to fire at Gu Lao Er: "My sixth sister-in-law and I, two women, heard a black bear roaring on the mountain and still ran to save my husband. You, as his brother, are a man, and you ran faster than a dog! Do you think you deserve the two pounds of meat in your crotch? Coward!"
Lu Yan's words were rude but not without reason.
For a moment, Gu Laoer was stumped by the question.
What made him most angry was that Lu Yan said he was not a man.
"Also, what did you say when you saw my husband? How is he still alive? Are you hoping your brother will die?" Lu Yan asked again: "Also, you didn't show any worry on your face from beginning to end. It's hard for me to believe that you didn't go down the mountain to call for help to go up the mountain and hunt bears with you!"
Every word Lu Yan said hit the mark on Gu Laoer's heart.
He came in a hurry to find someone just to go up the mountain to hunt the bear.
Song Jiao'e said that they would soon have to flee the famine.
At times like this, the family naturally needs to prepare more silver, and selling the black bear is just the right way to make money, right?
As long as Gu Linbei died in the mountains, the villagers would not have the heart to share the black bear with them.
By that time, all the black bears would belong to the Gu family.
"Really..." Lu Yan paused, with a half-smile: "We are of the same roots, why are you so anxious to hurt each other?"
The people present were all from the village and had little education.
This era is already imaginary. Gu Laoer didn't know where Lu Yan's words came from, but he understood the meaning of these words.
His face was pale and his lips trembled several times, but he couldn't say a word for a long time.
It was right. Lu Yan was right.
Is Gu Lao Er's reputation going to be completely ruined today? How will he study and take the imperial examinations in the future?
Is the road to success cut off just like that?
Just when Gu Lao Er's face was filled with grief and Lu Yan was full of doubts and felt that the male protagonist was too easily defeated, a voice suddenly rang out.
"We don't like what Fifth Brother's wife said."
Song Jiao'e had just come here with Old Lady Gu, and she had been standing at the back watching the show.
It was at this moment, seeing that Gu Lao Er had no chance of winning, that he slowly stood up.
Song Jiao'e was wearing a plain white dress at this time, with a hint of sadness in her eyes, and walked up.
She looks like the fresh and innocent heroine in early TV dramas.
In this village, the only one who can compare with Song Jiao'e in appearance is probably Lu Yan.
But these two people are completely different types.
Lu Yan's beauty is more aggressive, bold and domineering.
But Song Jiao'e is even more lovable.
"My husband was so scared in the mountains, and he rushed down to find help. How could he even understand what he said?" Song Jiao'e finished speaking, tears welling up in her eyes. "Fifth brother and sister-in-law, you are taking my kindness for granted. Look at how anxiously the second brother is running, and how sweaty he is... You are really bullying me."
Song Jiao'e's words won a lot of sympathy for Gu Laoer.
Everyone in the world sympathizes with the weak.
In addition, Song Jiao'e's outfit made her look like she was crying.
Many people in the village felt sympathy, especially the older men who were watching the fun.
How can such a woman not arouse a man's desire to protect her?
Someone immediately spoke up for Song Jiao'e, "Gu Laowu, don't be so aggressive. Lao Er was in such a hurry to get down the mountain, so it's understandable that he spoke without thinking."
"oh?"
Lu Yan tilted her head and looked at Gu Lao Er with a smile.
Don’t say it, Gu Linbei is really stupid with his words.
If Gu Linbei confronted the second brother and his wife alone today, he would probably lose.
But who is Lu Yan?
Now that she is standing here, there is no white lotus that cannot be killed.
"I don't agree with what Second Sister-in-law said." Lu Yan sighed and said seriously, "Did any uncle or aunt in the village see my second brother running down the mountain just now?"
Hearing this, everyone was a little confused.
Why did Lu Yan suddenly ask this?
But despite the doubts, someone still stood up.
"I."
The person who spoke was none other than Chen Ersao.
The moment he saw her, Lu Yan felt a chill.
"And me!"
Fortunately, Er Gouzi seemed to notice Lu Yan's embarrassment and stood up from the crowd.
Yesterday, Er Gouzi and Grandpa were so happy to receive the extra ribs from Lu Yan. So, they wanted to step forward and help out today.
"Did Second Brother call for help as soon as he came down the mountain, or did he call for help after he reached the village chief's house?"
Lu Yan asked Er Gouzi directly.
Er Gouzi scratched his head and thought for a moment, then answered confidently, "I started calling people when I got to the village chief's house."
"Are you sure?" Lu Yan checked again, while searching for memories of Ergouzi in the original owner's memory.
Ergouzi has been dependent on his grandfather since he was a child, and can be said to have grown up under the care of the villagers.
It is this kind of child who is best understood by the villagers.
"Sure. I was chopping wood at the foot of the mountain when I saw the second brother of the Gu family running very fast. I guessed that something might have happened! So I followed him all the way to the village chief's house. Many people in the village saw it!" Ergouzi didn't understand what Lu Yanwen was doing, but he still answered her questions seriously.
