Chapter 51 "Gone"
The eldest and the second stopped walking, and without even looking at each other, they took half a step back in tacit understanding.
"Brother, Niupitang comes to us again, what should we do now?" Erzai asked in a low voice.
Children who are obsessed with their older brother will listen to their older brother on important matters.
The eldest cub slightly turned sideways, trying to use his body to shield the second cub behind him, staring at Lu Baozhen with clear eyes, "What are you doing here?"
Lu Baozhen didn't seem to feel disliked and smiled sweetly, "I'm here to play with Big Brother and Second Brother."
The second child poked his head out and rolled his eyes. "Don't you understand what I'm saying? My brother and I don't like playing with you, and we don't want to play with you. Don't follow us all the time. It's annoying."
Ever since Gu's mother was injured, Lu Baozhen's reputation as a jinx has been unbreakable in Erzai's mind, and he wishes he would never see her again in his life.
When had Lu Baozhen ever suffered such an injustice? She pouted and looked at Dazai with grievance.
Big Cub: “?”
Look what he is doing!
Could it be that he would not help his own brother but help a stranger like her?
He is not confused and has not been kicked by a donkey.
"I don't want to play with you either." The eldest boy said seriously, word by word.
Lu Baozhen pretended not to hear and stared at the things in the twins' hands with her dark eyes.
"What are you holding?"
Erzai looked alert and used his body to block the wooden box he had picked up. "What does it have to do with you? Get out of the way. We want to go home."
The superstitious little kid thought Lu Baozhen was unlucky and didn't want to get too close to her. He just wanted her to leave quickly.
Lu Baozhen seemed not to understand, took a few steps forward, and said, "My grandma said that everything belongs to the brigade, and you can't take it home."
Hearing this, Erzai was furious and glared at her with his eyes blazing. "We found this, why can't we take it? If you keep talking nonsense, I'll beat you up."
He waved his fists as big as sandbags.
Lu Baozhen shrank her neck but was not scared away and remained standing where she was.
"I will tell you even if you hit me." The voice was soft but very infuriating.
She felt that there was something good in the box and it should be hers.
The eldest boy responded with reason, "It's the first time for the second boy and I to find something, but you have found it many times before. If the team asks us to hand it in, you must do the same."
Erzai clapped his hands and said happily, "Yes! You found a wad of money, a bag of White Rabbit candies, and a gold ring. You have to hand them all over to the team. If you don't, we won't either."
Lu Baozhen was confused, tears rolled down her cheeks, and she cried, "You are bullying me."
She was very angry and subconsciously looked for help, raising her hand and calling out Black Koi.
"Lili, I need you to help me."
Seeing this scene, the eldest and second cubs were both confused.
Look around in sync with your movements——
Sparrows leaped from the branches and flew into the sky. The hot wind blew, and the grass and trees all moved. The insects hidden in the deep grass chirped, and the cicadas on the trees were silenced by the scorching sun in the sky.
They were sure that there were no talking creatures within a ten-meter radius.
"Brother, who is she talking to?" Erzai's eyes sparkled with excitement.
A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. The little kid is fearless and his voice is full of excitement, "Is there a monster?"
"You are the monster, Lili is my best friend." Lu Baozhen shouted angrily.
Erzai deliberately provoked her, "Where is it? Where is it? Why can't I see it? Are you lying?"
"I'm not lying." Lu Baozhen said sharply, shouting into Hukou: "Lili, come out."
If the black koi had a face, it would be able to see the despair on its face.
really.
Human babies are just unreliable.
Erzai believed it at first. He stood on tiptoe and looked at Lu Baozhen's hand, curious and excited, with flames in his eyes.
Half a minute passed, his eyes were sore from staring, but he didn't see a single hair, and he looked disappointed.
Pointing at Lu Baozhen, he said, "You are a jinx and a big liar."
"I'm not a liar!" Lu Baozhen's face flushed, and she scratched the place where the black koi rested with her hands. "Come out, Koi, come out quickly to help me vent my anger. Let Gu Dazai and Gu Erzai lie on the small mound. I don't want to see them again."
Erzai looked at her in disbelief, with an expression that said "how could you be so vicious?"
"If you lie on the mound, you will never see your mother again, you bad boy! You lie on the mound because you have no mother."
Dazai also didn't like what Lu Baozhen said. He wanted to be with his mother forever.
Looking at Lu Baozhen with dissatisfaction, the usually magnanimous eldest son also began to dislike this little girl.
Lu Baozhen's desire was too strong, and the black koi was forced to show up.
It sighed quietly.
However, the four-year-old girl, who had been spoiled to the point of being lawless and whose heart had long lost its innocence, did not care.
She gave the same command as before: "Lili, help me."
"...Okay." The black koi responded.
It comes from another world where spirits cannot be created.
The first person to possess the body was a boy who had just turned 22 and graduated.
At that time, it was still a red, white and black koi carp that represented auspiciousness.
It used its good luck to help its host, turning him from a low-income youth who lived in an old rental house, received a meager salary, and spent his days worrying about whether to add sausage to his instant noodles into the big boss of a transportation company, reaching the pinnacle of his life and achieving class ascension.
But who knew that human nature is greedy, and the young man who originally wanted to live with dignity became unrecognizable, and he used it to deal with those who humiliated him.
At first the little koi didn't notice anything was wrong, until its tail turned black, it realized that its power was being backfired.
It wanted to stop. After all, it was a symbol of good fortune that was loved by everyone. How could it turn black?
How could a newly-evolved spirit compare to the cunning humans who live in society? From the very beginning, the humans had already taken away its biggest secret - in this relationship, the parasite is the dominant one.
The game starts with it, but it cannot stop.
Gradually, its whole body turned black.
Later, the little koi learned that the host wanted to get rid of him completely, so he escaped in a nearly self-destructive way.
Wait for it to wake up again.
The newborn Lu Baozhen became its new host.
Affected by its bad luck, Lu Baozhen's biological mother died tragically in the delivery room. Before her death, the woman made a wish that she was willing to exchange all her good luck and the opportunity of reincarnation for her child to have a smooth and worry-free life.
Because of this, Black Koi felt that his strength had recovered a little.
Later, it discovered that it could use Lu Baozhen to absorb other people's luck to restore itself, and thus began a journey of no return.
Seeing the good fortune as bright as the sun on the people of the third branch of the Gu family, he was so greedy that he encouraged Lu Baozhen to get close to them.
Originally, the progress was very good. Lin Zhao would be unlucky if it sucked all her luck away, and the other four cubs would be at its mercy.
Who knew that something unexpected would happen? Lin Zhao didn't die, but her four cubs avoided Lu Baozhen, causing it to be unable to go out during this period of time, and the little bit of good luck it had accumulated before was almost used up.
Having said that.
As Lu Baozhen gave the order, the black koi mark on her knuckles suddenly flashed.
moment.
The little girl's eyes became as dark as the abyss, without any human emotion, her pupils were unfocused, and it was extremely strange when she stared at people.
Erzai was a thick-skinned man who didn't notice her transformation. He shook his arms, which were sore from lifting the wooden box, and said, "Brother, let's go home and ignore this annoying crybaby."
He walked in front and led the way.
Don't think that the country roads can be very wide. At most, they are wide enough for four or five adult men to walk side by side.
Erzai strode forward with a gait as if he didn't recognize any relatives. When he passed by Lu Baozhen, she suddenly grabbed his arm.
"What are you doing!" Erzai shook his arms as if he was stung by a wasp.
Lu Baozhen grabbed the box from his hand. She didn't know where she got the strength from, but she pulled Erzai forward. "Give it to me!"
Erzai never suffered any loss, he held on tightly and refused to let go, "No."
Lu Baozhen bit him angrily.
She bit the flesh on his hand and pulled it up hard. The second cub felt pain in his hand and shook her off. The eldest cub hurried to help and the three children twisted into a ball.
"Ahhh, I'm going to fight you!" Erzai used his Iron Head Skill, moved his head back, and then quickly pushed it downward, hitting Lu Baozhen's face hard.
"Bang!!"
No matter how powerful Lu Baozhen's cheats were, she was still a mortal. After being hit, two lines of blood flowed from her nostrils.
"Ah——" the little girl's braids spread out and she screamed sharply.
She wiped the blood from her nose and saw the eldest and second cubs running away. She chased after them and grabbed the red rope on the second cub's wrist.
The bloody hand just touched it.
Lu Baozhen screamed and quickly backed away.
He covered his hands and squatted down with his head down.
Where no one was paying attention, the black koi fish at her knuckles appeared and disappeared, and suddenly separated from Lu Baozhen's body.
Then it turned into black powder.
The second child found that the little red string his mother had given him had turned black, and he exclaimed, "Oh, my little red string, my little red string my mother gave me!"
I touched it with my hand, trying to get rid of the black color on it, but as soon as my hand touched it, the little red rope turned into powder and scattered in the air.
The second child looked confused.
"My little red string!"
He was so angry that he wanted to rush up and hit Lu Baozhen, but was stopped by the eldest son. The eldest son took off his own little red rope and put it on his younger brother's hand.
"Mine is yours."
The second child was instantly coaxed, but when he saw that his brother didn't have any, he became unhappy again, "Brother didn't have any."
"It's okay. I'll ask mom in the afternoon if I can buy you another one." The eldest son remembered that his mom said they would all get lucky money in the future, so could he ask for a few cents in advance to buy a red rope.
The second child happily clings to his brother.
At this time, Lu Baozhen moved.
The eldest son got nervous and said to his younger brother, "Second son, take the box and go home for dinner."
"Ai!"
The two brothers left the foot of the mountain.
Not long after, news spread in the village.
Even the Gu family members who had just got off work heard about it.
"Why did Baozhen go to the foot of the mountain for nothing? She was almost attacked by a wild boar that ran down. She was frightened and fainted. Fortunately, Aunt Lu came over in time, otherwise..." Huang Xiulan didn't say it explicitly, but the Gu family members understood what she meant.
Mother Gu took medicine for two days, and drank bowl after bowl of brown sugar water and bowl after bowl of malted milk to nourish her body. She felt more energetic than before she was injured. She felt bored in the house, so she sat in the yard.
After hearing what the eldest son's wife said, he asked, "Is Baozhen dizzy? Didn't Mrs. Lu always say that her granddaughter is a lucky girl, God's own daughter? How can God's own daughter be taken advantage of by a pig?"
While she was speaking, the eldest and second sons came in and happened to hear everything. The two brothers looked at each other.
Lu Baozhen was taken advantage of by a pig? !
Erzai took a small stool nearby and sat down silently next to Gu's mother, listening attentively to what his aunt said.
Huang Xiulan is washing the faces of the twins, a boy and a girl.
Children in the country love the land. Once they get to the fields, they roll around happily everywhere.
The white and tender third and fourth cubs had dirt on their cuffs, corners of their clothes and knees that couldn't be wiped off by hands. There was also dirt on their soft hair. Their fair faces were rosy and their eyes were watery, and they were obviously having a lot of fun.
"There is no such thing as God's own daughter. Who knows whose life-saving money that Baozhen picked up before was?" Huang Xiulan commented lightly.
Then he continued, "I didn't see what happened at the foot of the mountain. I heard that when Baozhen didn't come back at dinner time, Aunt Lu searched all over the village and finally found her at the foot of the mountain. When she found her, her face was covered in blood and a wild boar jumped out of the woods."
"Are the villagers okay?" Gu's mother asked hurriedly.
"It's all right." Huang Xiulan said, "They didn't dare to disturb the wild boars when they saw their shadows. They quietly ran back to the village. The village chief even said that he would bring people to hunt those animals another day."
Father Gu, who had been silent the whole time, could not help but said, "We have to hunt. There are only children in the village. It would be bad if those animals came down the mountain."
Gu Yucheng sharpened his knife, "Hunting, there is meat to eat."
No less than ten people in the village had died from wild boars before. Gu's mother was really afraid of this beast with fangs. She glared at him and said, "How dare you think you can hunt wild boars? Be careful that the wild boar will hunt you."
"You don't have enough meat to eat at home. You are so old, but you still crave for it."
Lin Zhao sent a lot of meat, and she asked her daughter-in-law to cook it, and the whole family ate it together.
Gu Yucheng ignored his mother's cold eyes and said with a smile, "Who complains about too much meat?"
The words fell.
Lai Mei came close to her father, her eyes sparkling, "Dad, can you hunt wild boars?"
"……Won't."
Lai Mei withdrew her admiring gaze realistically and said sadly, "When will Third Uncle come back? I miss him."
Gu Yucheng laughed angrily, "If you dislike me, go be your third uncle's son!"
"Can I?" Lai Mei asked with anticipation.
"..."
Take him away, take him away immediately, give this son to whoever wants him.
Zhao Liuniang came out of the kitchen and shouted, "It's time to eat."
Bangbang took his younger brother and sister to wash their hands.
Since the worms were removed, the children of the Gu family have become much cleaner. They drink boiled water and wash their hands before meals and after defecation.
At this time, the Lu family.
The Lu family thought that their lucky star was injured and hurriedly called a barefoot doctor.
The old man with only half-baked medical skills looked at it again and again and was so angry that he laughed.
"What kind of injury are you in? It's just a nosebleed. Just wipe it off. Why do you have to call me over in such a hurry and waste other people's time?"
After complaining, I packed up and left.
The Lu family was stunned.
Su Yuxian, burdened with the reputation of being the unlucky daughter-in-law, was anxious to perform well, so she quickly fetched water to wipe Lu Baozhen's face.
"I'm really bleeding from the nose. Who on earth said that Baozhen was disfigured by a wild boar? How can you be so poisonous that you even made up stories about a child?" Lu Xiaomei scolded.
She sat on the edge of the bed and began to touch her niece all over her body.
I didn't find anything good and there was a flash of disappointment in my eyes.
Lu Xiaomei was favored at home and even knew where the money was kept. She went to get the money familiarly, but found the money box was empty.
Thinking that Lu's mother had moved the money, Lu Xiaomei went to her mother full of resentment.
"Mom, why didn't you tell me you moved the money? I made this trip for nothing. Where's the money? I need it."
Mother Lu looked puzzled.
"Why did you change the location of the money?" she asked. "Isn't it still in the box? I didn't move it."
Lu Xiaomei had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem and said, "There is no money in the box."
Mother Lu wiped her hands and walked quickly into the house.
The box that originally contained a lot of money is now empty!
The cloth bag full of banknotes that Baozhen picked up, the gold ring weighing 15 grams, the blue and white porcelain teacup...all gone!
Even the money Lu Yizhou sent back is gone!
Mother Lu's eyes were red with anger and she almost fainted. She grabbed the wooden box containing the money and kept looking for it.
"It's all here. The money is all in there. I haven't touched it."
Lu Xiaomei helped to look for it, but couldn't find it.
Suddenly, she thought of something, dropped what she was holding, and went to find Su Yuxian.
"Is it you? Did you steal the money from home?" Lu Xiaomei grabbed her shoulders and asked sternly, "No one else has come to the house except you. It must be you who stole the money. Hand it over. Hand over the money in the box."
Mother Lu also stared at her daughter-in-law suspiciously and scratched her, leaving several red marks on Su Yuxian's face. "Where's the money? Where did you hide it?"
Su Yuxian was confused.
She felt that she was more wronged than Dou E.
"What money? I didn't see it." Su Yuxian covered his stinging face and explained, "I haven't even been to my mother's room."
Mother Lu regained her senses and asked, "What about the money?"
"Did Dad take it?" Lu Xiaomei said, "I'll go find Dad."
He left a word and rushed out of the house.
Su Yuxian dragged his injured foot and sat down, looking towards the room where his parents-in-law lived, his eyes flickering.
The damn old woman and the damn sister-in-law are so nervous, they must have a lot of money at home.
Thinking about how no one in the Lu family called a doctor for her when she injured her foot, and they just used wood ash to treat her, Su Yuxian lowered her eyes, and a fierce light flashed in her eyes.
When I saw the messages from my kids, they all complained that I didn’t update enough.
