“I shouted from the mountain, but Gu Jingsheng just wouldn’t let go. By the time I ran down, he had already carried Si Gou back. I was afraid that the old man would try to cheat me, so I asked the village head and the others to come over.”
Zhang Dahua recounted everything she had seen that day, word by word.
People say that even a tiger won't eat its cubs.
But unexpectedly, Gu Jingsheng turned out to be a heartless person, no wonder Zhang Dahua was afraid of him.
When the people in the courtyard heard Zhang Dahua say this, their expressions all changed.
They arrived in such a hurry that they didn't hear Zhang Dahua say what it was about, only that it was about Gu Lili's family.
The village head looked at Gu Jingsheng with disappointment and said, "I know you have no conscience, but I never thought you would become so vicious!"
My childhood playmates are gone forever; they've died in my childhood.
"I didn't! Don't listen to that little whore Zhang Dahua's nonsense. I can't do such a thing. Village head, we've been friends since we were kids. Do you know what kind of person I am?" Gu Jingsheng cursed and argued.
He was in a panic. He had clearly observed his surroundings when he did this, and he never expected that he would be seen by that little harlot Zhang Dahua.
Hearing Gu Jingsheng spewing filth, Gu Erniu raised the iron rod in his hand and cursed angrily, "If you keep cursing, believe me, I'll beat you to death!"
Seeing Gu Erniu's bloodshot eyes, Gu Jingsheng shrank back in fear and dared not speak again.
Zhang Dahua felt a warm feeling in her heart when she saw Gu Erniu protecting her so much.
Even the way Uncle Zhang looked at Erniu changed.
"Sister, second brother, it was Gu Jingsheng who pushed me into the water. He even said that if I dared to resist, he would kill you both!"
Gu Sigou got out of bed crying and walked behind Gu Erniu, sobbing as he complained.
Everyone was stunned for a moment upon hearing this.
They thought that Gu Jingsheng had held Gu Sigou underwater, intending to drown him.
Unexpectedly, the vicious Gu Jingsheng said something like this to Gu Sigou.
This was utterly devastating. After hearing Gu Jingsheng say this, the naive Gu Sigou actually stopped resisting and let Gu Jingsheng hold him down in the water.
Gu Lili's heart suddenly felt as if it were being cut by a knife, and Gu Erniu and Gu Huanhuan were already in tears.
Their younger brother was only eight years old, yet he had to suffer so much.
Gu Jingsheng shouted anxiously, "Si Gou, don't talk nonsense! I'm your own grandfather, how could I do such a thing!"
Everyone present found Gu Jingsheng's words extremely ironic.
How could a little child lie, especially with Zhang Dahua as an eyewitness?
Gu Erniu raised the iron rod in his hand and was about to strike Gu Jingsheng on the head when Uncle Dazhu quickly reached out and caught the iron rod.
Because Gu Erniu smashed it down with all his might, Uncle Dazhu's hands were trembling as he caught the iron rod with his bare hands.
Everyone was startled by Gu Erniu, but when they saw Uncle Dazhu catch the iron rod, their hearts were relieved.
"Erniu, calm down. Gu Jingsheng deserves to die, but he's not worth sacrificing your life for!" Uncle Dazhu said earnestly.
"Yes, Erniu, don't do anything foolish!"
"That's right, let's send him to the county government office and let the magistrate deal with him. It's not worth losing our lives for someone like him!"
Everyone was trying to persuade Gu Erniu, but Gu Erniu stubbornly clung to the iron rod, wishing he could end Gu Jingsheng's life immediately.
Uncle Dazhu was injured and couldn't hold Gu Erniu down.
Seeing this, the others rushed over to help hold Gu Erniu down and prevent him from doing anything reckless.
Gu Erniu was now consumed by rage, his eyes bloodshot, and he became reckless!
In the past, Gu Erniu was weak and allowed Gu Jingsheng's family to bully them.
After his mother starved to death, he gradually realized that being weak and yielding would only make others bully him even more.
Looking at his terrified younger brother, he had only one thought in his mind: to kill Gu Jingsheng.
He felt that as long as Gu Jingsheng continued to live in this world, he would continue to persecute his sisters and brothers.
He couldn't tolerate this happening again; he was determined to kill that bastard!
Even if everyone thinks he's unfilial and killed his own grandfather, he doesn't care!
Seeing the furious Gu Erniu, Gu Lili bought medicine from her spatial storage and walked towards him.
"Erniu, put the iron rod down and listen to me," Gu Lili said, enunciating each word clearly.
Although Gu Lili also wanted to kill Gu Jingsheng, her rationality prevailed.
Just like my uncles said, it's not worth ruining yourself for someone like that.
Gu Lili's voice seemed to have some kind of magic, and Gu Erniu slowly loosened his grip on the iron rod.
Only then did the others release him.
Gu Lili handed the enamel jar of medicine to Uncle Dazhu and said apologetically, "Uncle Dazhu, are you alright? Thank you so much for stopping Erniu just now."
Uncle Dazhu took the medicine, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, just a minor injury. As long as Erniu doesn't do anything foolish, it'll be fine!"
Once Gu Erniu regained consciousness, he realized that he had actually hurt Uncle Dazhu.
Gu Erniu looked at Uncle Dazhu apologetically and said, "Uncle Dazhu, I..."
He was so angry just now, and now he feels incredibly guilty.
Seeing that everyone's attention was on Uncle Dazhu and Gu Erniu, Gu Jingsheng endured the pain in his legs, quietly got up, and ran out.
"Sister, Gu Jingsheng has run away!"
The sharp-eyed Gu Sigou realized what was happening and shouted loudly.
Upon seeing this, the village headman immediately ordered, "Go quickly, chase him back, tie him up, and send him to the authorities!"
The crowd quickly dispersed and ran out of the courtyard to chase after Gu Jingsheng.
Gu Huanhuan and Zhang Dahua did not chase after them, but stayed in the yard to take care of Gu Sigou.
Gu Jingsheng knew that if he were caught, he would definitely be sent to the county government.
Exile is a foregone conclusion.
As long as I run away, at worst I can be like Gu Shuwen and beg for a living.
Anyway, my house has already burned down, and I have no home anymore, so it doesn't matter where I am!
At that time, we won't need to farm anymore!
You can earn a lot of copper coins in a day.
The crowd chased after him, but Gu Jingsheng ignored the pain in his legs and ran as fast as he could.
He knew that if he took the main road, he would easily be caught.
So he ran all the way up the mountain, thinking that once he was inside, it wouldn't be so easy for them to catch him again.
Although there are tigers in the mountains, they may not necessarily come out.
