Chapter 147 Incompetent Teammate, Moron!
After Gu Yin finished eating, she was watering the vegetable garden in the yard when she saw Li Xiaohua rushing in.
"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?" Gu Yin asked, puzzled.
"Did your grandma go to chop firewood?" Li Xiaohua asked.
Gu Yin nodded, put down the water ladle, and walked out of the vegetable garden.
Li Xiaohua stepped forward, looked outside the door, saw no one, and then whispered, "I just ran into Li Chenggong outside. He said your grandma went to the stream to chop firewood and fell down. He said his family has a conflict with your family and he didn't dare to come and tell you, so he asked me to come and call for help. What do you think about this? Is your grandpa home? Why don't you let the adults go? I'm scared whenever I see their family now."
It's around 10 o'clock now. Gu Qingming and his wife, along with Li Mengxin, would leave home around 6 or 7 in the morning to go to the town or city. Everyone in the village knew this, but they just thought that Gu Qingming and his wife were going to do odd jobs. That's what the Gu family told others.
Li Chenggong? Gu Yin smiled and said, "Grandpa isn't here. He went to the back mountain to chop firewood."
"Oh dear, what should we do? Should I go and call some other adults? We can go together!" She thought it was a good idea! If Grandma Gu really fell, it would be easier to help her back if an adult was there. And if she was going to hit someone, with an adult present, she probably wouldn't dare to do anything reckless!
Gu Yin smiled and shook her head: "My dad came back last night. I'll go and ask him to come with me. You go ahead and do your work."
It must have been Li Dazhi and Li Chenggong who made the move. Grandma used to like going to the stream to chop firewood, but because it was close to the water, many snakes would come out in the summer and sunbathe by the water. She encountered poisonous snakes several times, so she never dared to go there again.
So Li Chenggong's claim that Grandma fell over there is definitely false.
Now that Uncle Gu is back, Li Xiaohua has nothing to worry about. After saying goodbye to Gu Yin, she left the Gu family. Her clothes were still by the roadside, and she had to hurry up and wash them. After that, she had to go back and cook, as everyone in the family was busy in the fields today.
After Li Xiaohua left, Gu Yin went to find Gu Le and asked him to wake Gu Qinglang up, saying that there was some movement from Li Chenggong's side.
Gu Qinglang came out quickly. He frowned and looked at Gu Yin: "I don't know if it's true or not. You stay at home and don't go out. I'll go and check it out myself!"
The old man had already told him about Li Dazhi and Li Chenggong's affair, so like Gu Yin, he doubted the truth of the matter.
Gu Yin shook her head and said, "There's no such thing as being a thief for a thousand days and guarding against thieves for a thousand days! I'll go myself. Even if we escape this time, they'll come back next time. Hiding is useless! Dad, you go through the back mountain path, I'll take the main road! I want to see what they're up to!"
Gu Hua followed Gu Qinglang out. Hearing Gu Yin's words, she thought they made sense, so she looked at her uncle and said, "I'll go with Hua! If they really want to do something, having another girl won't affect them. But it's different with us. Having another person will be better for looking after them!"
Gu Qinglang didn't want them to take the risk, but he also felt that Gu Yin was right. If his daughter didn't go, the other side would definitely not give up. How could they live if they were on guard every day?
"Take something for self-defense!" Gu Qinglang looked around, wanting to get them some self-defense items.
It was summer, and people were wearing thin clothes, so they couldn't bring much. Gu Yin stopped him.
"Dad, you can go over first. We'll go over after you've left for a while. If anything happens, you'll be able to see it."
Upon hearing this, Gu Qinglang grabbed a handy rolling pin and took the lead by going down the path from the back of the mountain.
About ten minutes after Gu Qinglang left, Gu Yin and Gu Hua set off.
At the corner near the stream, a car was parked right now, with the windows tightly closed despite the hot weather.
Li Dazhi waited in the driver's seat for almost the entire morning before Li Chenggong finally came over.
"Why are you so slow! How is it? Has the person arrived yet?" Li Dazhi opened the car door and let him get in.
Li Chenggong nodded excitedly and said, "I waited until all the adults in their family went out, and then I had someone Gu Yin was on good terms with call her! I told her that the old woman had fallen here, and she wouldn't refuse to come!"
Li Dazhi was delighted upon hearing this: "Are you sure there are no adults at her house?"
"I saw them leave with my own eyes! Don't worry!" Li Chenggong touched the seat and then the car door.
"Tell me, when will I have my own car after we go to Beijing?"
Seeing his unsophisticated and ignorant attitude, Li Dazhi looked down on him even more.
"You can buy it in six months! Once we get there, after we've won over Gu Yin, we'll sell this car and find you a driving school. You can get your license first, and then I'll arrange for you to drive for celebrities! Your monthly salary is 8,000. If you drive well, you'll get tips and bonuses, which are the real money, much higher than your salary!" After convincing Li Chenggong, Li Dazhi sent him away.
"Gu Yin should be ready. Go and keep watch over that cornfield over there. Come out after she's gone!"
After listening to Li Dazhi's bluff, Li Chenggong's heart had already flown to Beijing!
Hearing what Li Dazhi said next, he came to his senses, opened the car door and walked back. About ten meters away from the car, he darted into the cornfield next to him, where the corn stalks were about two meters high, and waited.
Gu Qinglang arrived at the top of the stream first. Because of the location, he could see the stream below at a glance. The old lady was not there. He squatted down and walked up a little further, and saw a black car parked at the corner.
Thinking about what the old man said last night, this car must belong to Li Dazhi.
The car was parked at the corner, which leads to Lijia Village on one side and Wangjia Village, which is near the reservoir, on the other side.
To prevent Li Dazhi from seeing him, Gu Qinglang broke off some green branches and wove them into a straw hat, which he then put on his head. He also broke off some taller branches and placed them on either side of his head. He squatted down and slowly walked towards the stream. With the dense trees blocking the view, it would be difficult to notice that someone was there if one was not paying attention.
Li Chenggong couldn't stand being in the dense, airless cornfield, constantly bitten by insects and ants. If it weren't for the money, he would have quit long ago!
As noon approached, the weather grew hotter and hotter, and the cornfield became more and more like an oven, making Li Chenggong increasingly impatient.
Seeing that Gu Yin hadn't arrived yet, he couldn't help but come out for some fresh air.
Then Gu Qinglang, who was on the other side of the stream, saw everything clearly.
There really is a conspiracy!
Li Chenggong was sweating so much that he became thirsty.
Then Gu Qinglang saw Li Chenggong go to the car at the corner. He didn't know what they said, but the car rolled down the window and handed out a bottle of mineral water. Li Chenggong took the water, drank a few mouthfuls, and handed it back in. Gu Qinglang moved to a different spot and saw Li Dazhi sitting in the car!
They were definitely in cahoots!
Looking at Li Chenggong's idiotic appearance, Li Dazhi's anger flared up. If there wasn't a real shortage of help in the village, he wouldn't have brought this idiot along.
"You've finished your water, why don't you hurry up and hide! What if someone sees you?! Go now!"
This road is rarely used, but that doesn't mean it's deserted! This idiot has absolutely no brains! No wonder he's in jail! What a moron!
Li Chenggong didn't notice that Li Dazhi was furious. After drinking the water, he finally felt less hot. He returned the water and turned to walk back. When he reached the cornfield, he had just lifted one foot when he saw Gu Yin and Gu Hua appear in front of him.
He didn't know whether to lift his foot or not!
