Chapter 15 Want to blackmail me? You have to admit it
In fact, as early as when Gu Xixi went up the mountain, she noticed that Gu Tiezhu was following her.
It just so happened that she had already chosen a good place for Gu Tiezhu earlier.
Today he took the initiative to seek death, which saved her the trouble of making a special plan.
Gu Xixi once found a wild tea tree nearby. When digging, she followed the roots and saw a hole hidden in the grass.
It should be a naturally formed cave underground. After being washed by rain, a small hole gradually appeared.
The entrance of the cave is only large enough for one adult to pass through. When the sunlight shines sideways, it is about three or four meters deep, and there is no water in the area directly below.
A natural trap is perfect for luring a dog into a trap.
Because she had decided on a whim to deal with Gu Tiezhu, Gu Xixi had to go home early.
At sunset, as expected, there was a commotion in the village, and someone was beating a gong and calling for Gu Tiezhu.
Aunt Zhang went out to check and came back excitedly, "Gu Tiezhu is missing."
"His parents said that the wheat hasn't been harvested yet. He couldn't have gotten away. Something must have happened to him."
Gu Xixi continued to grind the powder in the stone mortar. "It's not a pity that he died, but it's a bit hard to make everyone work so hard to find him."
Aunt Zhang naturally didn't know that Gu Tiezhu's disappearance was related to Xixi, and she continued to talk to herself, "He was so indecent towards you. Even if I have a bad heart, I really hope that something happens to him so that he can behave himself in the future!"
Gu Xixi nodded in agreement.
There is a thick layer of rotten leaves and tree roots under the hole, so it is highly likely that you will not die from the fall.
Although it is cool at night in the back mountains during midsummer, it is not freezing.
At most... you'll lose limbs, suffer hunger and cold, and just suffer a little more.
That night, the torches in the village flickered until the moon rose above the treetops.
Liu had fainted several times from crying.
But it was too dark, so we could only agree to go into the mountains to search tomorrow morning.
Before falling asleep, Gu Xixi glanced at the west room through the window. It had been nearly two days, and Mu Nanzhao had not returned yet.
The next morning, Gu Xixi was woken up by knocking on the door before she had enough sleep.
She frowned and opened her eyes, only to hear someone slamming the gate of the courtyard.
"Gu Xixi! I know you are in there! Come out now!!"
"You deliberately caused my son to break his leg! You are such a vicious woman! Even if I have to sacrifice my life today, I will beat you to death, you little slut who has been fucked by thousands of people!"
Gu Xixi sat up and sighed softly. It seemed that the person was found alive, what a pity.
Aunt Zhang outside heard Liu's swearing getting more and more vulgar, so she opened the door in anger, put her hands on her waist and started swearing at Liu.
As the two of them cursed at each other, they even revealed each other's past history.
Gu Xixi then dressed neatly and came out. When she passed the west room, a smell of blood wafted in the wind.
She suddenly turned her head and her eyes darkened.
Outside the gate, the road was blocked by a huge crowd of people.
Gu Xixi looked past Liu, who was blushing and had a thick neck in front of her.
Uncle Gu and Uncle Gu's families were standing behind Uncle Gu and Old Third. There was an old door panel at their feet with Gu Tiezhu lying on it. It seemed that he was carried here.
Gu Qingye squatted beside his brother, watching over him and crying.
"Brother, you are the pillar of our family. You broke a leg. What should I and my parents do?"
There were several young men who admired Gu Qingye. They felt so distressed seeing her crying, and at the same time, they were all filled with righteous indignation in order to please her.
"You must give an explanation for causing someone to break his leg!"
"Yes! Let Brother Tiezhu go to their house and let them treat him and take care of him until his leg is healed!"
"You have to pay compensation and kneel down to apologize!"
Aunt Zhang was not to be outdone. She puffed out her chest and confronted the young men step by step, "So what? Just because your leg is broken, you are right and can blackmail others at will? He fell into the hole by himself. It has nothing to do with my family!"
Aunt Zhang was broad-skinned, and the young men were forced to step back.
Someone else argued, "We found Brother Tiezhu this morning, and he said in person that he saw Gu Xixi at the foot of the mountain, and followed her all the way, but he didn't know he stepped on empty air."
Gu Xixi looked puzzled. "I went into the mountains to pick some wild mushrooms yesterday. But..."
"I didn't know my cousin was following me."
She walked towards Gu Tiezhu, bent down and looked at him, "Why didn't my cousin call me from behind?"
Gu Tiezhu met Xixi's eyes and immediately looked away guiltily.
"Why?" Gu Xixi asked again.
"My cousin followed me from the foot of the mountain and walked so far, why didn't I know anything about it?"
"Also, my cousin said he fell into the hole after I did, so why didn't I fall in first?"
Gu Tiezhu stammered and couldn't answer, so he simply closed his eyes and shouted that his legs hurt and he wanted to go home.
"Yes!" Aunt Zhang was more confident, "Did everyone hear it?"
"There was no one around in that mountain den, and a grown man followed a girl stealthily, without saying a word. I want to ask him what bad thing he wanted to do?"
The villagers looked at Gu Laosan's family with suspicion and talked about them.
Seeing that her family had lost their advantage, Liu became anxious and angry, "What bad things did my Tiezhu do? Who saw it?"
"He and Gu Xixi are cousins from the same clan, how is it possible!"
Aunt Zhang sneered, "He said that Xixi harmed him, but who saw it?"
"It's not that I didn't give him a chance to speak, but he didn't know anything when asked. Who would believe him if he said he had no guilty conscience?"
"Besides, cousins are not allowed to marry, but that doesn't stop him from ruining someone's reputation and defaming their innocence!"
These few powerful words silenced all those who wanted to "seek justice" for Gu Tiezhu.
Uncle Gu sighed, "There must be a misunderstanding."
"There are so many tree shadows and flower spirits in that mountain. Maybe Tiezhu is dazzled and saw it wrongly."
If the cousin attacked his own cousin and this inhumane thing was confirmed, the entire Gu family would not be able to hold their heads up.
It would be better to find an excuse to get away with it.
Gu Xixi had already taken her due revenge and had no intention of continuing to dwell on the matter.
"Grandpa is right. Since I haven't met my cousin yet."
"Maybe he is just seeing things."
She looked straight at Gu Tiezhu, smiling, "Isn't that right, cousin?"
Gu Tiezhu gritted his teeth and nodded frustratedly.
Liu's heart was broken. She thought of her son who had spent a whole night in the mountains with a broken bone. When he was fished out, she almost thought he was dead.
Now he suddenly says that it has nothing to do with Gu Xixi.
How could she swallow her anger and go home like this!
Liu took a deep breath and suddenly rushed through the gap between Gu Xixi and Aunt Zhang.
She ran into the yard and knocked over a clay pot.
"My son is in pain, so you can't expect to feel better too! I will smash your house to pieces!"
Gu Xixi saw Liu running to the west, and thought to herself that something was wrong, so she hurriedly chased after her.
"Aunt Zhang! Stop her!"
Except for the sample plants she placed in the yard, no one was allowed to smash them.
The current situation in the west room cannot be seen.
Gu Xixi pounced forward but missed. When she looked up again, Liu's hand had already touched the door of the west room...
