Chapter 721723. Meeting
Boss Yu and his men had never seen such a scene before and were so frightened that they took a few steps back.
Gu Benluo stood on tiptoe curiously and looked out from the gap between the guards. "You are too cautious. These are all fellow villagers."
Even if they were bandits in the past, so what? I heard from my father that these people were forced to go to the mountains because of life pressures. Otherwise, if someone really took a life, the local village would not protect them.
"Yes, we are villagers from Xinsheng Village," Boss Yu spoke in an exceptionally loud voice. They went to the city frequently these days and understood some of the Mandarin.
They were now people of status, and their chests were straightened. They were more favorable to the young man who had just spoken. He was indeed from a wealthy family, and he knew how to talk.
Gu Benluo did not push away the guards in front of him, knowing that they were thinking about him.
"Hello, we are here to visit you." Gu Benluo smiled at them in a friendly manner, "Sorry to bother you."
He spoke in pure Mandarin, which made Yu Lao Da and the others not know how to react. This was also the politest child they had ever met.
"I'll ask someone to boil some water..." Wu Xiaoliu began to feel at a loss. Young master, would you like to come home and sit for a while?
But he really didn't dare to ask the latter question.
The house was so simple that apart from a stove and a wooden bed that he had built himself, there was not even a stool to move out to entertain guests.
Other people were in the same situation. Sometimes they regretted in their hearts why they didn't work harder and make a stool.
It's rare to have guests nowadays, and it's impossible for them to treat them well.
Gu Letian and Lai San behind them ran back to their respective houses under the gaze of their boss and boiled some water first.
Gu Wenheng and his companions rested for a while, and then a large group of people followed them into the village.
Seeing so many distinguished guests, Boss Yu and the others felt their legs go weak, but they still forced themselves to keep smiling.
Captain Chen popped out from nowhere and introduced them to their side, "This is Lord Gu, Lord Wu, Lord Li..."
After this series of adults' introductions, several of the elders felt a little dizzy.
In the past, they didn’t even dare to think about meeting the county magistrate, let alone meeting so many officials at once. The county magistrate was at the bottom among these people, so they couldn’t help but feel a little nervous.
Boss Xie was the first to lose his temper and fell to his knees, followed by the others.
Gu Wenheng tried his best to make his expression more friendly. "We just came to see how your village is built. You don't have to restrain yourself. Just go about your own business."
Even from a distance, the sweat on these people's foreheads was clearly visible. It was obvious that they were under a lot of pressure.
He did not stand there any longer, but looked at the people who were still busy on the mountain, and took the lead to go up, "Let's go over and see how you are planting."
Captain Chen immediately dragged Boss Yu to follow. Among all the bandit leaders, this guy was the only one who could speak well. "Hurry up and follow us. If the master has any questions, remember to answer carefully."
Boss Yu covered his chest and said, "Captain Chen, I'm a little nervous..."
"Why should you be so nervous? It's only because your village hasn't elected a village chief yet, otherwise this matter wouldn't have happened to you.
Just answer truthfully and hurry up and follow him." After saying that, Captain Chen pushed him from behind, making it impossible for him to retreat.
Boss Yu had no choice but to move forward, but he couldn't get too close. Just as he took a few steps forward, a guard stopped him and signaled him to just stay here.
The group looked around the mountain for a long time, asked some questions, and then slowly walked down the mountain.
Gu Lexi and his friends really had no interest in these places. Such land was just on the mountain and was no different from the land in their hometown.
Knowing that these were all Uncle Seven's serious business, and that they were only there to do odd jobs, they really had no say in these things.
Following them out was just to broaden our horizons. There was no communication between us. They all followed quietly, climbing up the mountain and running down.
Gu Letian boiled a large pot of water, but now he couldn't find a container to put it in.
They did have bowls and chopsticks, but they were each separate, so it was impossible for them to gather so many.
But he had always been a silent person, so he could only ask Lai San, who was also boiling water, for help.
Lai San was also having a headache. This was a problem that he couldn't solve by himself.
"Let's go ask those police officers, maybe they brought it themselves." Thinking of the chipped bowl at home, Lai San felt that it would be better not to take it out and embarrass others.
Gu Letian also wanted to find an opportunity to get close to those people, so he naturally followed him.
Lai San felt that the young master was easy to talk to. He stood on tiptoe to look around and found that the young master was sitting on the grass. He quickly ran over with Gu Letian.
"What do you want?" They were stopped before they could get close.
Lai San smiled and said, "We just boiled two pots of water, but we don't have enough bowls to hold the water. I wonder if you guys have prepared anything here. How about we carry the water over here?"
Ming thought, "…there's no need to bother the fellow villagers, we all carry our own water."
Lai San: "...That's good..."
At this time, Gu Letian was staring at the little boy next to the young master. This man looked really familiar, a bit like his uncle, but not like him.
Gu Leshun was sitting there rubbing his legs when he felt someone staring at him and looked up.
He blinked, somewhat unconvinced, that the face that appeared before him was actually his uncle's, only that he looked much younger.
Lai San noticed the abnormality of Gu Letian beside him and reached out to pull him, "Don't be rude."
Gu Letian spoke in the Baini'ao dialect, "Whose family are you from?"
Gu Leshun swallowed nervously. Even if he was stupid at the moment, he still reacted and replied in the Baini'ao dialect, "My father is Gu Yuantu."
Gu Letian's eyes instantly turned red, "Le Shun, why are you here? Have you been sold?"
Following the young master, could it be that I have been sold into slavery?
What about the other people in the family? Gu Lehuan felt weak all over and didn't dare to think too much.
"Sell it?" Gu Leshun was really confused. "You are my eldest cousin."
"I'm Gu Letian," Gu Letian said and wanted to step forward to hug his relatives, but as expected, he was stopped again.
Although Gu Benluo had lived in his hometown for a short time and could not speak the local dialect, he could understand it.
Now it makes sense. It turns out that this is my eldest cousin who has been missing from home.
It just seemed that he was not in a good mind. Not only was he, a grown man, ignored, but he actually thought that his cousin Le Shun was sold.
"You are Gu Letian." Gu Benluo said with certainty.
Gu Letian felt a little dizzy, "Young Master, you know me too. It was our Le Shun who mentioned me to you."
Dear children, if you pass by, please remember to give me some recommendation tickets and monthly requests. +:.LVЁ.:+
