The village head didn't really want to get involved in collecting his body, but Gu Jingsheng was someone he had grown up with since childhood.
Furthermore, if we leave him lying there any longer, what if he frightens the villagers who pass by?
The villagers found a random spot, dug a pit, and buried Gu Jingsheng.
When Gu Lili returned home, Gu Sigou had already been coaxed to sleep by Gu Huanhuan.
When Zhang Dahua saw Gu Lili and Erniu return, she quickly went up to them and asked, "Sister Lili, Erniu, have you caught Gu Jingsheng?"
Gu Lili recounted what had just happened to Zhang Dahua, whose eyes widened in astonishment.
"That old man deserved it! Luckily, Si Gou is alright, but he still deserved to die!" Zhang Dahua said angrily.
She simply couldn't understand why there were such vicious people in the world.
In her memory, her grandparents always loved her very much before they passed away.
Even though her mother only gave birth to her as a girl, her grandparents never said anything harsh to her mother.
Zhang Dahua felt heartbroken whenever she thought of Gu Sigou.
Seeing that the siblings all looked preoccupied, Zhang Dahua prepared to go home.
"Sister Da Hua, let me see you off!" Gu Erniu said somewhat awkwardly.
Zhang Dahua was a little suspicious. Her house was only a few steps away from Gu Erniu's house, so why did she need to be escorted?
However, Zhang Dahua thought that Gu Erniu might have something to say to her, so she nodded in agreement.
Gu Lili looked at the two of them and quickly went into the shack to check on Gu Sigou.
Gu Lili originally wanted to thank Zhang Dahua in person, but since Erniu wanted to thank her himself, she decided not to bother them.
Zhang Dahua and Gu Erniu exchanged a glance, their faces instantly turning red.
Zhang Dahua took a step and walked towards the door, and Gu Erniu quickly followed after her.
"Big Sister Hua, thank you for today!" Gu Erniu said quickly.
Today, if Zhang Dahua hadn't called the villagers, they might have really thought of Gu Jingsheng as Gu Sigou's savior.
Zhang Dahua stopped and laughed, "It's nothing, we're neighbors, no need to be so polite. Erniu, you go back now, I'm going home for dinner too!"
As Zhang Dahua spoke, she walked towards her home.
Just as Zhang Dahua was about to enter his yard, Gu Erniu mustered his courage and quickly called her back.
"Big Sister Hua, you...you wait a minute!"
Zhang Dahua stopped in her tracks, turned around, and looked at Gu Erniu with curiosity.
Gu Erniu carefully took out some colorful embroidery thread from his pocket and handed it to Zhang Dahua.
"Sister Da Hua, this is what I bought for Huanhuan yesterday. Consider it a thank-you gift, and I'll give it to you!" Gu Erniu said, his face flushed.
Zhang Dahua looked at the colorful embroidery thread in Gu Erniu's hand and saw that it was obviously not cheap, so she quickly waved her hands.
"This is for Huanhuan, how can you give it to me? You don't need to be so polite!"
Without saying a word, Gu Erniu handed the embroidery thread to Zhang Dahua, his face flushed, and then turned and ran back.
As he ran, he said, "Oh, Sister Da Hua, just keep it, I'm going home for dinner!"
He was afraid that if he ran a step too slow, Zhang Dahua would catch up with him and return the embroidery thread to him.
Once inside the courtyard, he even slammed the gate shut behind him.
Zhang Dahua looked at his small courtyard, which had walls on three sides, and couldn't help but laugh.
What difference does it make whether this door is closed or not?
Zhang Dahua carefully put away the embroidery thread that Gu Erniu had given her, then turned and went home.
To his surprise, when he turned around, he saw Aunt Zhang looking at him with a half-smile.
She was so startled she almost jumped up.
"Mother, why did you stand behind me without saying a word? You scared me to death!" Zhang Dahua said, patting her chest, still shaken.
Aunt Zhang rolled her eyes at her daughter and said, "What's so funny about that silly boy Gu Erniu? Tell your mother what's so funny."
A few days ago, she inquired about her cousin's situation, and it was indeed as Zhang Dahua had said.
My cousin did indeed hit people, so Aunt Zhang rejected the marriage proposal from his family.
She had just seen Gu Erniu give something to Zhang Dahua.
I can't help but think that it would be nice if Zhang Dahua and Gu Erniu got engaged.
Dahua is their only daughter. If she marries someone nearby, they can stand up for her if she is bullied in the future.
Zhang Dahua glanced speechlessly at her gossipy mother and said coquettishly, "Go home and eat!"
Then, he ran back home as if fleeing.
Watching Da Hua's departing figure, Aunt Zhang couldn't help but chuckle softly.
Having been through similar experiences herself, she knew perfectly well what had happened to Zhang Dahua.
However, both of them are still young, so this matter cannot be rushed.
I'll talk to Gu Lili about this when the time is right.
Gu Erniu returned home and immediately went into the kitchen.
He couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, since he had bought the embroidery thread himself to give to Sister Da Hua.
But I'm so bad with words, why did I say it was for Huanhuan?
This makes it seem like they had no other choice.
I wonder what Sister Da Hua is thinking!
Just as Gu Erniu was feeling frustrated, Gu Lili brought Gu Huanhuan to dinner.
Just now, Gu Lili buried some calming medicine in her space and gave it to Gu Sigou to eat.
Gu Erniu quickly pretended to be nonchalant and went to serve rice and dishes.
Gu Huanhuan had already fed Gu Sigou, so she didn't wake him up.
Gu Lili looked at Gu Erniu without saying anything.
The three siblings ate their meals in silence.
After dinner, Gu Lili soaked two buckets of the glutinous rice she had bought, and then took Gu Huanhuan to pick peach blossoms.
"Erniu, you stay home and watch over Sigou, and while you're at it, chop some firewood!" Gu Lili instructed.
Gu Lili was really worried about leaving Gu Sigou alone at home, afraid that he would be scared when he woke up.
Gu Erniu nodded repeatedly in response, "I understand, sister."
Gu Lili and Gu Huanhuan arrived at the peach grove they had discovered the day before and began picking peach blossoms.
Before picking it, Gu Lili carefully looked at the surrounding environment.
To be honest, she was really terrified by the venomous snake that killed Gu Jingsheng.
She also secretly sprinkled a lot of realgar around them to ward off snakes.
"Here, Huanhuan, take this with you!" Gu Lili handed a purse to Gu Huanhuan.
It's filled with realgar, so that everything is foolproof.
Although Gu Huanhuan didn't understand, she still hung the purse on her waist.
She thought it was just a decorative item her sister had given her.
The peach blossoms were in full bloom, and Gu Lili took out a piece of coarse cloth from her basket.
