Chapter 1033: Heartbreaking!!
"They've come down the mountain."
Wei Yue spoke up to remind Gu Yin.
Gu Yin was looking at the rat holes in her own field when she heard this and looked towards the hillside. Sure enough, the group of people came down.
"Never mind them, go and look behind this hole. I feel like this isn't a mouse hole, it's a rabbit hole."
Wei Yue also became interested and went to the other end to tinker with it.
"Sister! Why did you come up here alone? What if there's danger?" Gu Le said with some disapproval when she saw Gu Yin.
Gu Yin pointed behind the bushes: "It's not just me, Chief Wei is with me! Why did you come down? Aren't you going to take another look? We can still see the sunset later!"
Seeing Wei Yue there, Gu Le breathed a sigh of relief: "It was windy on the mountaintop! So we came down! What are you doing, catching mice?"
"It doesn't look like a mouse hole to me, it looks more like a rabbit hole, so I'll tinker with it. The weather's nice today, it's warm and cozy, and there's still some time before sunset, so how about we make a sweet potato kiln for fun? The village chief still has some sweet potatoes left in his field, and we'll go back and get some chicken and fish, and then we can make one."
Gu Yin was a little reluctant to go back. Her home was too noisy, and besides, the air here was so fresh that she felt it was nice to stay a little longer.
"Okay, I'll go back and get it!" Gu Le was also intrigued when he heard Gu Yin say that, as he remembered the sweet potato kiln he used to build when he was a child.
As he spoke, he ran down the mountain.
"Gu Ran, you follow them!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Ran didn't ask any further questions and immediately followed.
“This is a village, there shouldn’t be any danger here. Even if those people are arrogant, they wouldn’t dare to cause trouble today. Aren’t you and your brother being a little too nervous?”
Zhou Wansheng noticed the tension in Gu Le's eyes and the strange tone in her voice when Gu Le saw Gu Yin alone.
It seemed a bit odd that Gu Yin had Gu Ran follow Gu Le down the mountain.
So he raised a question.
Gu Yin smiled and shook her head upon hearing this: "It's just a habit..."
"What habit? It's like being bitten by a snake once and being afraid of a rope for ten years! It must be something from when we were kids that formed the habit!" Li Xiaohua, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but feel indignant when she thought about her childhood.
Seeing her like this, Wang Yanzhi asked in confusion, "About when you were little? What happened?"
Li Xiaohua sighed angrily: "Our village used to have an old Party Secretary named Li Dagen, who once conspired with human traffickers to kidnap Ale. When they failed to kidnap him, they threw Ale off a cliff on this mountain when we weren't paying attention!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yanzhi, who was standing nearby, staggered, and Zhou Wansheng quickly helped her up.
"Luckily, there were vines all around the cliff, so he was unharmed! Later, by the river, when no one was around, he tried to knock A-Yin into the river! The riverbed was all mud and rocky! Luckily, A-Yin was smart enough to dodge! He fell in himself, almost crippling him! A-Yin and A-Le were terrified, and from then on, they would never go anywhere alone; they always had someone with them! Although that person died, the impact he left behind is indelible! So A-Yin and A-Le's reaction wasn't an overreaction; it was understandable!"
Chi Xing, who was standing nearby, was practically snorting loudly as he listened!
Wei Yue and others who were unaware of these events were also furious! How could people be so wicked! Time and time again!
When Zhou Wansheng learned that Gu Yin's family were his children, he sent people to investigate. They found out about Gu Qinglang, Li Dagen's long-term surveillance, and the abduction of Ale, but they really didn't know about the latter two things!
“We don’t know about this. The people who investigated it only investigated A-Le’s abduction. They didn’t investigate A-Yin’s affairs at school or in the village.”
Zhou Wansheng felt extremely heartbroken whenever he thought about what happened back then!
The bad guy is dead, but he left an indelible impression on the child! He deserves to die!
Seeing the two of them blaming themselves, Gu Yin grinned and said: "It's all in the past now. It's okay, Grandpa and Grandma. I've done whatever he did to me. No one who offended me has a good ending!"
Li Xiaohua, standing to the side, nodded vigorously like a fangirl: "That's right, Ayin is amazing! She's so young yet remains calm in a crisis! She's brave and resourceful! She's bound to be successful when she grows up!!"
Gu Qinglang, who was digging up clods of dirt, laughed and said, "The past is the past. What matters is the present and the future. Bringing up those rotten people and things will only ruin your mood! It's the New Year, so let's have some fun!! Come on, dig some dirt! Without a hoe, these clods are a bit difficult to handle!"
"I'll do it! I'm a metal-based superpower! I'll dig! How big do you need?" A soldier nearby immediately stepped forward to help.
Gu Yin helped the still heartbroken Wang Yanzhi sit down on a nearby rock: "Grandma, it's really alright! You know my personality, no one makes me suffer for nothing, don't be angry, besides, being angry won't do any good, he's already gone to the King of Hell! Cheer up? Hmm? I'll have some roasted sweet potatoes for you later!"
"Pfft! You're treating me like a little kid! You little rascal!"
Wang Yanzhi couldn't help but laugh. The child is a good child, but too sensible, which makes her feel very sorry for him.
Wang Yanzhi reached out and tucked a stray strand of Gu Yin's hair behind her ear, her eyes filled with heartache: "Fortunately, we didn't go all the way down the wrong path. Fortunately, you're all back. That's good."
Fortunately, this child is smart enough to hide himself, to endure, and not to make himself feel wronged. Otherwise, if he were an impulsive person, they might not have even come to him. Such things happen all the time in Hong Kong.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Gu Le came up with her things and saw her grandmother sitting there with a bad expression.
"It's nothing. What did you bring up here?"
"Oh, I took some sweet potatoes, taro, corn, and some lamb trotters and beef bone marrow, all barbecue stuff, given to me by the villagers. We just ate the chicken, duck, and fish, so we won't take any more. We'll just have a taste and enjoy ourselves!"
Gu Yin glanced at them and nodded: "These are enough! They've all been marinated, that's good, let's go! Let's build the kiln!"
Everyone played on the mountain until eight o'clock, when even Grandma Gu came to urge them to come down the mountain, using their phone flashlights as a guide.
Then fireworks were set off for another half hour, and the village didn't quiet down until after 10 p.m.
When we were having a late-night snack, some more people came over from the village, mainly to chat; that's how it is in the village.
After finishing their late-night snack, Wei Yue began arranging the patrol. Secretary Wang and the county head had left shortly after lunch in the afternoon. They agreed with what Li Sen had said, so they were all in a hurry to go back and make arrangements. After all, the school would start recruiting students after Gu Yin returned tomorrow! If they were late, how much money would be wasted!
Gu Yin washed a basket of fruit and placed it on the table: "Aunties, please have some fruit."
"Alright, alright! You go ahead and do your thing! Don't worry about us!"
"Yes, the streets are lively right now. All the young people in the village have gone out to have fun. If you're bored, you can go and take a look!"
Gu Yin shook her head: "I won't go. I'll sit for a while longer, then it's time to rest."
"Alright, alright, then sit down! Chat with the aunties and grandmas!"
Gu Yin listened to her aunties gossiping about the village while munching on sunflower seeds; it was quite interesting.
"How are Li Li and his grandmother doing in Beijing? They haven't come back this year, and their house is all deserted."
Grandma Gu said with a smile, "The two of them went to Hong Kong for the New Year. Li Li has a master who lives in Hong Kong, so they went with him."
"Oh my, this is wonderful! Who would have thought these two would have such good fortune! It's all thanks to your family!"
"Hey, does Li Li have a girlfriend yet?"
