Chapter 120 Rumors are flying everywhere
Feng's medicine is no longer hot. Gu Lianshan tested it with the back of his hand and decided to pass it in for my mother to drink.
Seeing that Gu Tang was still staring at the medicine pot on the stove in the corridor, Gu Lianshan asked her to watch the fire: "Dad will go to the east room to feed your grandma medicine, you watch this stove carefully."
"Oh!" Gu Tang responded happily, sitting on the small stool where her father had just sat, watching over the stove.
Although both Mrs. Feng and Mr. Gu were unconscious, their breathing seemed stable this time and their faces did not look too bad, which was much better than what happened yesterday.
Gu Lianshan took a closer look and felt that the two elders were fine.
After drinking the medicine, he took the empty bowl and left the house.
The Coptis chinensis still needs time to stew, so Gu Lianshan took advantage of this free time to tell Gu Tang that he wanted to go to the village to find someone who was skilled in carpentry to come to his house and help repair the door that was broken by Gu Tang.
Gu Tang waved at her father without even raising her head, telling him to go ahead and saying that she would pay for the door repair herself.
After leaving Gu's house, Gu Lianshan walked east, and after a while he turned north and entered a small road.
There are several families scattered at the end of the path, one of which also has the surname Gu and is of the same clan as the Gu family.
The man in this family is called Gu Dazhui. He has some carpentry skills, but he is not very proficient. He can still do some rough work.
Also because he was not proficient in the craft, Gu Dazhui's wages were not high and the villagers could accept it.
Unless they are making some good things, most of them come here.
The same went for Gu Lianshan. The bed and cabinets in their west wing were all made by Gu Dazhui. Although it doesn't look very good, it is sturdy and durable, and that's enough!
Pushing open the fence door, Gu Lianshan shouted into the house, but unexpectedly, four or five people came out.
Among the five people, except Gu Dazhui, the remaining four are brothers who have dealings with Gu Lianshan, some are from the same ethnic group and some are from different ethnic groups.
"Hey! Why are you guys all gathered at Dazhu's house today? What's the matter?" Gu Lianshan glanced at them with curiosity, not knowing what was going on.
Several brothers greeted Gu Lianshan with laughter. Gu Dazhu even enthusiastically invited Gu Lianshan to sit inside: "Brother Lianshan, you're here? Come in and sit! It's very cold outside!"
The remaining four people didn't say why they got together. Taking advantage of Gu Dazhu's words, they continued to push Gu Lianshan into the house.
Seeing this, Gu Lianshan had everything he didn't understand. He had something to say to him.
become! Then come inside and sit down!
When I got into the house, warmth instantly enveloped my whole body.
Gu Dazhui is a carpenter after all, and the thing this family has the most is leftover materials, so they rarely go into the mountains to chop firewood throughout the year.
During this winter, the stove was burning day and night, and the house was extremely warm.
Seeing Gu Lianshan sitting down, several people looked at each other, not knowing how to start the conversation.
Finally, it was Gu Dazhu who asked first: "Brother Lianshan, is there anything you need to come home today?"
Gu Lianshan nodded: "The door of my west wing is broken. I know you have a ready-made door panel, so I came to ask you to come over and repair a new door."
"So that's what happened. We have door panels. I'll get someone to carry them over..."
"Who are you looking for? Don't we have someone ready right now? Come on! Let's help Brother Lianshan lift the door panels and help fix the door together!"
Four men of the same age as Gu Lianshan, with smiles on their faces, were very enthusiastic and insisted on helping Gu Dazhu open the door.
Gu Dazhu naturally had no objection.
If he asked someone to help carry it, he would have to give some benefits. Now that someone has taken the initiative to help carry it, the benefits can be saved.
Gu Lianshan sat in the armchair without moving, and spat at the four brothers: "We all grew up together naked! Who doesn't know who?! Tell me! What do you want to do!"
The four of them looked embarrassed. One of them, Li, smiled and explained, "We found an old peach tree in the mountains yesterday. The trunk is also very straight and tall, so we came to Brother Dazhu's house today to ask if he would accept it..."
Gu Lianshan glared at them and said, "The large forest outside the back mountain was bought by the ancestors of the three families, Gu, Li, and Hu, who allowed their descendants to go into the mountains to chop wood, dig wild vegetables, collect herbs, and hunt!
But it is absolutely not allowed to cut down the precious trees in the mountains, which are shared by the three tribes! Over the years, you have used the money earned from those precious trees to support the elderly and children in the village. I think you have lost your mind! You even dare to target Lin Mu? No need to worry about damaging one’s good karma! ”
Upon hearing this, the four of them waved their hands hastily: "My good brothers! We are not such wicked people! That peach tree is not from our territory. We don't know where it came from. We happened to see it when we were strolling in the mountains, so we came to Dazhu's house to ask him if he would take it..."
So that’s how it is…
Gu Lianshan's expression eased, but he still didn't show them a good look. He asked again, "I'm afraid it's not just this one. What else do you want to do?"
Seeing that they couldn't hide it anymore, the brothers just spoke out directly.
Concerning what happened at the Gu family, rumors are flying all over the village, saying all sorts of things, and it's hard to tell what's true or false.
But today the rumors are getting more and more outrageous, saying that the two elders of the Gu family have passed away, and Gu Lianshan and Gu Lao Da have kept the news secret and are hiding at home fighting over the family property.
They originally planned to ask Gu Dazhu whether he wanted to harvest the peach trees, and then go to Gu's house together to take a look.
Unexpectedly, before they arrived, Gu Lianshan also came to Gu Dazhu's house.
When they saw Gu Lianshan, they became extremely worried. They wanted to ask something but didn't know how to start. If the rumor is true, it would not be a good idea for them to ask like this.
After hearing what his brothers said, Gu Lianshan slammed the table and yelled angrily, "Which bastard spread this rumor! My parents are alive and well! Who said they are dead?! How dare you spread such rumors!"
Not dead? !
The brothers, including Gu Dazhu, all breathed a sigh of relief.
They have a good relationship with Gu Lianshan, so they naturally don't want the rumor to be true.
"I don't know how many mouths have spread this rumor, how can we know who spread it? Since it's false, we brothers will tell everyone in the village about it later, and the misunderstanding will be cleared up."
Gu Lianshan also knew this, so he didn't hold on to it. He cursed him a few more times before giving up.
"Put out the fire, put out the fire. Didn't you say you wanted to fix the door? While I have nothing to do right now, let's go and fix it. It's very cold this day, and we can't do without a door."
Gu Dazhui said a few words to comfort him and changed the subject.
"Yes, yes, yes! Don't be angry, don't be angry! It's more important to fix the door first..."
The brothers hugged Gu Lianshan again and pulled him out of the house.
They lifted up two door panels, took their belongings, and headed for Gu's house.
…
Gu Tang was holding a dirty branch and stirring it in the medicine jar. The strong bitter smell spread all over the corridor, and her mouth began to taste bitter.
Gu Tang called out to Gu Ping'an and asked him to bring her a bowl of hot water so that she could drink some to relieve the pain.
