Chapter 244: People have aged for several years and have white hair
"stop!"
Gu Lianshan hurriedly called for the people to stop and pulled them back: "We are all waiting outside. Let your aunt go in first to take a look. If your mother is really in the house, we will go in when it is convenient."
Gu Tianbao didn't understand the meaning of these words, but the four women standing not far away understood what Gu Lianshan meant. They hurried forward, pushed open the door, went into the house to look for Wei, and asked Gu Tianbao and others to wait outside.
"Listen to your second uncle. The aunts will go and look for him first. Come in when they call you later."
Gu Tianbao nodded, but was still confused.
After the four women entered the house, the first thing they did was to close the door to prevent people outside from seeing what was happening inside.
They had prepared themselves mentally, but the scene inside the house was totally beyond their expectations.
The house was clean and tidy, but empty.
The four of them glanced around the room, their eyes all fell on the box in the corner.
"The box is not locked. Let's open it and take a look?" Guo, the youngest of the four, looked at Zou, the oldest, and asked.
Zou nodded in agreement, called Su and Jiang, and the three of them went forward to open the box together.
As for Guo, Zou asked her to pick up the stool on the ground and follow them to protect them.
If there really is someone hiding in the box, and that person is not Wei, then it's fine if there is no danger. But if there is danger, let Guo hit him with a stool.
Guo held a stool, looked serious, and followed them closely, staring at the box.
Zou and the other two worked together to open the lid of the box, looked inside, and saw Wei who was tied up.
"Oh my god! Lian Sheng's wife is really here!"
Zou screamed in shock, her face full of horror.
Wei, who was curled up in the box, was shocked when he heard this. He looked up and unexpectedly saw a familiar person!
At first Wei thought he was dreaming and stared at people, not daring to blink for a long time.
"Ouch! There's something stuck in his mouth! Take it out quickly! Don't suffocate him!"
Su and Jiang screamed and reached out to untie the rope around Wei's mouth.
When the two people's hands touched Wei, Wei was shocked to realize that this was not a dream and the person in front of her was real!
"Wuwuwu..." After coming to her senses, Wei struggled violently, trying to climb out of the box and shouting for them to save her!
"Don't move! Let me untie the rope around your mouth first..."
Su and Jiang tried to comfort Wei with soft words while trying to untie the rope.
Zou also spoke up: "Don't worry, don't worry, I'm here to save you today. This is all thanks to Lianshan. Your boy and girl asked him for help, and he asked the clan leader and elders for help. In the end, the clan leader was persuaded and they selected more than a dozen people from the clan to come and save you..."
Wei burst into tears instantly. Big tears fell like beads that had broken off the string.
Guo held up a stool and moved forward to take a look, then breathed a sigh of relief. Since it was Wei, there would be no danger.
She put down the stool, trotted out, and told the people waiting outside: "Found it, it is indeed Lian Sheng's wife!"
After saying this, she went back into the house and closed the door again.
The expressions of the people guarding outside were all relieved.
"It's good to find it. It's worth our trip."
"Tianbao, your mother has suffered a lot this time. You must treat her well in the future. Your mother loves you and she is well-known throughout the village!"
"That's right. Don't worry about what others say from now on. Just be good to your mother."
…
Everyone was talking to each other, giving Gu Tianbao some subtle advice.
You begged to save that person, so in the future you can't look down on your own mother because of the rumors outside.
Gu Tianbao didn't come to his senses at first, but after hearing what everyone said, he suddenly understood.
A woman was abducted by a man from another country and lived in the man's home for so long. Even a fool would know that this woman could not be white.
A woman like this, even if she is rescued, will die.
Gu Lianshan had told Gu Tianbao all this before, but Gu Tianbao didn't care. Now that he had found the Wei family, he was just happy and didn't think about this for a while.
Since everyone in the village had mentioned this, Gu Tianbao expressed his attitude in person: "I stand by my mother's side. Now that I am older, I can afford to support my mother even if I move out with her."
"Good! He's a filial son!"
Gu Lianshan patted his shoulder, very satisfied with his words.
Everyone nodded, indeed, he was a filial son.
In this kind of situation, he can still protect his mother wholeheartedly, and everyone who sees him will have nothing to say.
Inside the house, Zou and the other three had worked together to untie the ropes on Wei and helped her out of the box.
"Are you injured? Did those people beat you?" Zou looked the man up and down with a look of concern.
The clothes Wei was wearing were still her own clothes. Apart from being a little dirty, there was nothing wrong with them.
He is very thin. He has lost a lot of weight and looks several years older. He even has white hair on his head!
"I'm not hurt, I'm just very hungry..." Wei lowered her eyes and covered her stomach, speaking weakly.
The three brothers of the Wang family were still hoping that she would give birth to a son, so they would not hurt her. They just gave her one meal of porridge a day. One reason was to prevent her from eating too much and having the strength to escape, and the other was to tame her and let her stay in the Wang family with peace of mind.
These days, she has thought about giving in many times. The feeling of being hungry is really unpleasant.
But as soon as the thought of giving in came to her mind, the image of her son Tianbao popped into her mind.
In order to see her son again, Wei gritted her teeth and held on, she believed that her son would definitely come to save her.
Originally this idea was just a wishful thinking, but she didn't expect that what she had been waiting for would come true!
"It's okay as long as you're not injured. Just hold on for a while. Once you escape from here, you won't be hungry anymore!"
Zou and Su supported her together and led her out of the house.
Guo and Jiang hurriedly opened the door, and the group quickly left the house.
"mother!"
The moment the door opened, Gu Tianbao began to stare. Soon, his mother Wei, whom he had been thinking about all the time, was supported by someone and walked out.
Gu Tianbao couldn't bear it any longer, and ran forward with a happy look on his face, calling Wei "Mom".
The word "mother" made all the fear and humiliation that had accumulated in Wei's heart burst out all at once.
She let go of Zou and Jiang's hands, hugged her son and burst into tears: "My son - I thought I would never see you again in this life!"
The reunion of mother and son was a mixture of sadness and joy. When everyone heard the crying and saw Wei's current appearance, their eyes turned red.
A few angry people dragged the tied-up Wang San inside and started beating and kicking him!
Wang San understood everything at this time. He originally thought that it was a thief who came to the house to rob the money, but he didn't expect that it was someone from the woman's family who came.
The Wang family is in the wrong in this matter. I just hope they can beat themselves up to vent their anger, but don't have any murderous intentions.
Gu Lianshan ignored the tribesmen who were beating people. He came up to the mother and son and asked them to shut up.
"Now is not the time to cry. Let's leave quickly while the other two brothers of the Wang family are not at home. We must not alarm the people in Shanyao Village."
Seeing Gu Lianshan, Wei was truly grateful to him and remembered this favor. She pushed her son away and actually knelt in front of Gu Lianshan in public.
"Uncle, I used to be a nobody. What I said and did made people hate me. I never thought that when I was in trouble, you would bring people to save me!
I will never forget this kindness in my life, and I will definitely repay it in the future! Just wait and see, if I mess with you again in the future, let me suffer this disaster again!"
These were serious words. Gu Lianshan was quite surprised. He glanced at Gu Tianbao and asked him to help Wei up.
"Get up, I'm doing this for Tianbao and your second daughter Lian. If they hadn't begged me, I wouldn't have interfered in this matter anyway."
"Mr. Lian also begged you?" Mrs. Wei was surprised, and then she started crying again, "I have disliked that girl since she was a child. I didn't expect that she would still miss me after something happened to me..."
When this matter was mentioned, Gu Lianshan could not help but say a few words to Wei: "You are blind! You can't tell who is good to you! After you went missing, the old man, the old lady, your husband, and your eldest daughter, none of them worried about you.
Tianbao and Lian are the only ones in the family who care about you and worry about you! Especially after knowing your whereabouts, they asked me to bring people to rescue you several times, and they don’t despise your current reputation at all! "
Hearing this, Wei covered her mouth and cried, feeling both pain and hatred in her heart!
Gu Lianshan ignored her and turned to look for the tribesmen who were beating people, telling them to stop. They would set off for home immediately without any further delay.
Wang San had fainted, his face and nose were bruised and swollen, and he was almost unrecognizable.
Gu Lianshan had someone drag him into the house and close the door to prevent anyone from seeing him.
After dealing with Wang San, everyone chose another way and hurriedly left with Wei.
Gu Lianshan and his party came here in three ox carts. They hid the ox carts halfway on the road and left two people to guard them.
After getting away from the village on the mountainside, the group turned onto a small road and soon found the village's ox cart.
The ox cart was pulled onto the road, and Wei was asked to get on and sit in the middle first. She then wrapped her face with a headscarf. Four people from the Zou family then sat around in front and behind to provide some concealment.
In this way, even if I meet Wang Er on the way back, I don’t have to worry about him recognizing Wei.
After arranging things for Wei, the others quickly climbed onto the ox cart and waved whips to drive it back to Bei'an City.
Today is the last day of the winter fair. Halfway through the journey, we met many people on ox carts and on foot, all of whom were returning home from Bei'an City.
This scene made Gu Lianshan worried. He wondered if Wang Er had also gone to Bei'an City. If so, he would most likely come back at this time.
This road is the only way to Shanyao Village, so be sure not to encounter it face to face.
To be on the safe side, Gu Lianshan asked Wei to lie down and show up after entering the city.
Wei's heart was beating very fast at this moment. Finally someone took her away, but she was still afraid that she still couldn't escape.
After hearing Gu Lianshan's instructions, she immediately lay down and covered her face completely.
After walking all the way in fear, Gu Lianshan and his party did not see Wang Er. When they were about to enter the city, they actually met him at the city gate!
Fortunately, Wei remained lying there and didn't get up, and Wang Er didn't look over here. He followed the crowd out of the city gate and headed north.
Only after he left did Gu Lianshan and his party enter the city.
Wei didn't go back home for the time being. She stayed in an inn with Gu Tianbao and Gu Lian.
The Gu family and the Wei family joined together to hold a funeral for Wei. Now both sides have acknowledged that Wei is dead. If he returns like this, the Gu family is likely to murder Wei.
The Wei family planned to stay in an inn first, and then report it to the clan leader, asking the clan leader to force the Gu family to give an explanation.
As for the Wei family, the Wei family is not going to let them go either.
Over the years, she had never bothered with the Wei family, but she didn't expect them to become more and more arrogant!
This time, she will definitely not be lenient.
When they sent Wei's mother and son to the inn, it was already dark. If the others were to return to the village now, they would probably have to go back in the dark.
Gu Lianshan did not let them leave, but asked Gu Tianbao to find the innkeeper and request several guest rooms so that they could stay in a room with two people.
As for who will pay the money, it will naturally be Gu Tianbao!
Gu Tianbao had the private silver hidden by the Wei family, so he had no shortage of money at the moment.
Besides, with Wei's return, he would have more money in his hands and would never run out of it.
Therefore, in addition to requesting a few guest rooms for the clansmen, Wei also asked Gu Tianbao to request two or three tables so that everyone could have a good meal.
In this case, it would be difficult for Gu Lianshan to leave.
He is the leader, so he should always have a few drinks with them.
But before drinking, he had to go back and report his safety to his daughters and others.
After finding an excuse to leave temporarily, Gu Lianshan drove his own ox cart back to the courtyard.
The three-day winter fair has come to an end, and there are fewer than half of the people on the streets.
The people who were still wandering the streets at this moment were not only the people who lived in the city, but also those who were staying in the inn and did not plan to go back.
After seeing Gu Lianshan off, Gu Tianbao supported Wei and wanted to take her back to her room to warm up by the fire.
His mother's clothes were a little thin, and she was blown by a cold wind all the way back, so she had to warm herself by the fire to keep warm.
When the mother and son arrived at the door of the room, Gu Tianbao suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to tell his second sister that his mother was back.
"Mother, please sit in the room first. I'll go call my second sister. I don't know how many times she has cried these days! If she knew you were back, she would be so happy that she wouldn't be able to sleep all night."
"Your second sister is also staying in this inn?" Wei looked excited.
"Yes, my second sister is also staying at this inn. Because my second uncle promised to help save you, my second sister and I were afraid that our family would stop us, so we didn't go home for the past two days and have been staying at the inn."
When the Gu family was mentioned, Wei's expression changed: "You two are the only ones staying at the inn? No one in your family cares or asks about it?"
Gu Tianbao shook his head: "My grandpa and grandma seem to have something to do recently. They are busy all day and are nowhere to be seen. My aunt is also busy with them. The old couple has no time to take care of us."
"What about your father? If you two don't go back, your father won't care about you?"
“My father? My father, he…” Gu Tianbao hesitated, not knowing how to refer to his father.
Especially since his father had asked a matchmaker to arrange a marriage for him, he was afraid that his mother would go crazy if he told her about it.
