Chapter 283 Shamefully moved!
People all love lively atmosphere. Even if he was extremely at odds with the people over there, Gu Pingan still became excited when he heard the word "bride".
He pushed Gu Tang aside, squeezed to the front, and whispered: "I heard that the bride's surname is Qian, and her husband died of illness, and the couple has no children.
Qian was afraid that she couldn't manage the family business on her own, so she asked people everywhere to find her a husband. She only chose to marry someone from far away, and didn't consider anyone close to San'an Town at all.
Gu Tang glanced at him and said, "You know it very well."
"You weren't in the village when she got engaged. The news spread all over the village at the time, with all sorts of rumors, but no one knew whether they were true or not."
While the brother and sister were talking, the oxcart had already arrived in front of them.
No one in the group looked at Gu Tang and his sister, but kept staring at Agou.
Someone couldn't help but ask, "Ms. Lianshan, what's this young man's name and surname? When will the family recognition banquet be held?"
Gu Tang smiled and replied, "His surname is Gu, the same as ours. He is the third child in the family, and everyone in the family calls him Sanlang.
The family reunion banquet has been arranged with the clan leader and will be held on the seventh day of the lunar year. Uncles, don't forget to come to our house for the feast!"
After saying this, Gu Tang secretly winked at Agou, asking him to follow and call for help.
Ah Gou immediately stood up and bowed to the group, saying, "On the seventh day, uncles, you must drink a few more cups of wine."
How could a group of men who worked in the fields to make a living have ever seen a nobleman salute them?
For a moment, everyone was at a loss and overwhelmed, their minds were blank and they couldn't say anything.
He just nodded repeatedly subconsciously and agreed: "Of course! This is something I never dreamed of! I dare not miss it!"
Because the group was talking, Li Shunzi stopped with the ox cart.
Seeing everyone lower their posture, each of their tone was extremely flattering.
Li Shunzi was dazzled by this scene, and felt jealous and resentful.
He stared at Gu Tang's smiling face, then looked at the richly dressed Agou for a while, and suddenly he became furious and asked Gu Tang to call for help.
"Tang girl! Hurry up and call your aunt! When your uncle passes the imperial examination next year, your aunt will be the scholar's wife!"
These words were very abrupt. Everyone fell silent and looked at him.
Gu Tang also glanced at him, then shifted his gaze to the woman sitting on the ox cart.
Li Shunzi asked himself to call this person "aunt", so this person must be Qian.
Probably because it was cold, Qian was wrapped in fur, with only her eyes exposed.
Li Shunzi asked Gu Tang to call her aunt at this time. She heard it and looked straight at Gu Tang. There was no malice, but no kindness either.
She just looked at Gu Tang without saying anything, as if waiting for Gu Tang to call someone.
Agou didn't like Qian's look, so he stepped forward to block Gu Tang. His eyes were as cold as a sharp blade, stabbing straight at Qian as a warning.
Qian immediately turned her face away, panic flashing in her eyes.
Gu Tang pushed Agou away and shouted into the yard, "Dad! Uncle Shunzi is back with the bride! He insisted that I call her aunt!"
Li Shun didn't expect Gu Tang to suddenly use this trick. He panicked and tried to defend himself: "What can your father do? According to seniority, you should call him aunt..."
"Wrong!" Gu Tang interrupted him coldly, "Based on seniority, I should call her 'cousin's wife'!"
Li Shunzi was speechless. Indeed, all the members of Gu Lianshan's family were adopted out, so it was legal and reasonable to call her aunt.
He was in the wrong in this matter.
Gu Lianshan's loud voice came from the courtyard: "What's wrong, girl?!"
When Li Shunzi heard Gu Lianshan's voice, he felt timid.
Even though he was shouting loudly, he was still very scared if he really faced Gu Lianshan!
Feeling guilty, Li Shunzi didn't even say hello and hurriedly walked to the end of the village with the ox cart.
The four people who were left behind were stunned for a moment, and when they came to their senses, their eyes were filled with anger.
"What's going on?"
Gu Lianshan walked out of the yard, an apron wrapped around his waist, his hands greasy, and his whole body smelling of meat.
While wiping his hands on his apron, he glanced around in confusion, his gaze finally landing on Gu Tang: "What did you just shout? Dad didn't hear clearly in the kitchen."
Although he asked this question to Gu Tang, before Gu Tang could reply, he shifted his gaze to look at the people who were left behind by Li Shunzi.
"It's you guys, didn't you accompany Shunzi to pick up the bride? What's going on? You just came back? Where's Shunzi? Where's the new bride?"
The series of questions stunned everyone. They looked at Gu Lianshan, their scalps tingling, and hurriedly pointed to the west.
"Shun, Shunzi left first with the ox cart. The bride was sitting on it. He was anxious to send her over..."
"Is the banquet still being held tonight?"
"Let's just set up two tables for those of us who are simple. Tomorrow is the main day."
Gu Lianshan nodded: "Okay, I'll go over there and give a gift tomorrow. Let's all go back. It's so cold, let's go over there and have a meal and a few more cups of wine to warm ourselves up."
Hearing this, the four of them breathed a sigh of relief and immediately ran after Li Shunzi.
No matter how angry they are, they still have to eat this dinner tonight!
I've been cold and tired all day, just waiting for this dinner tonight!
After everyone left, Gu Tang complained to her father, "Does Li Shunzi have a brain disease? You didn't hear what he just said. That's not something a human can say!"
"Why do you care about him? You just think he's a fool. No matter what he says, you just treat it as bullshit!"
Gu Lianshan comforted his daughter and let her go into the yard and warm herself by the fire.
Gu Tang walked into the yard with an unhappy look on his face.
After entering the yard, she did not go to the main room, but went straight back to the room, intending to lie down in the quilt to warm up.
Agou had been keeping an eye on her. When he saw someone enter the house, he handed the mutton meatballs in his hand to Gu Ping'an, then turned around and told Gu Lianshan that he was tired.
"After driving for so long during the day, I feel a little sleepy now. I want to go back to the house to rest first."
"Go ahead. By the way, during the day, your grandfather sent you another quilt. It's on the bed in your room.
Not long ago, your cousin bought a lot of kapok quilts, and your grandfather made a few quilts. It's cold today, so I'll give you another one. If you still feel cold, I'll give you more!"
"Oh!" Agou responded with a smile and returned to the house calmly.
Only Gu Ping'an and his son Gu Lianshan were left in the corridor. Gu Lianshan asked his son, who was holding the meatballs, to follow him into the kitchen.
There is still a lot of things to do in the kitchen. Now that Agou has returned to the house, if Gu Lianshan is left alone, it will probably be a bit chaotic, so Gu Ping'an can only step in to help.
After the father and son entered the kitchen, Agou, who had been paying attention to the movements outside, quietly opened the door and quickly walked towards the west wing.
Gu Tang had already taken off her shoes and sat in the bed. She was not sleepy at all, but she just wanted to enjoy the warmth of the bed.
Agou outside the house didn't knock on the door, but stood in front of the window and knocked gently a few times.
At first, Gu Tang didn't pay attention, thinking it was the cold wind blowing against the window. It was not until the sound sounded regularly for several times that she opened her eyes and woke up from her state of rest.
"Who is it?" Gu Tang asked impatiently.
"It's me..." Agou's voice was very soft, and if Gu Tang hadn't listened carefully, he might not have heard it.
Gu Tang shuddered as he lifted the quilt and got out of bed. He quickly put on his shoes and removed the bolt on the back of the door.
Afterwards, she turned around and ran back without caring whether Agou came in or not.
He ran to the bed, sat down on it, then threw away his shoes and sat in the quilt again.
Wrapped in a warm feeling, she sighed and felt much better.
Agou watched her running around with a smile on his face. After coming in, he closed the door and followed her into the inner room.
"I think you're really brave. What if my dad sees you coming here now?"
Gu Tang glared at Agou lightly, very dissatisfied with his coming in at this time.
"I see that you are unhappy, so does Li Shunzi want..." Agou made a knife shape with his right hand, and then gestured at his neck.
The meaning is very clear, he wants to kill Li Shunzi.
Gu Tang paused, then immediately straightened up and reached out to pinch him: "Don't mess around!"
"Don't mess around. You tell me and I'll do it. I won't let you be bullied." Agou said seriously. He really meant it.
Gu Tang pinched him again: "Alright, Li Shunzi's affairs have nothing to do with you. I have my own ideas, and you are not allowed to interfere!"
Agou looked disappointed.
Gu Tang ignored him and changed the subject to ask something else: "During the day, you gave me so many things, and you said that you earned them. Let me ask you, how did you earn those things? Did you go to the Cheng family again?"
"I didn't go to the Cheng family!" Ah Gou raised his hand and swore, "The things I gave you today were definitely earned by me!"
"How did you earn it?"
"I served as a guard for half a day and helped kill a few people. They didn't have money to pay, so they told me to take whatever I liked. Everything I'm giving you today was chosen by me myself!"
At the end of the speech, Agou looked very proud, and he did have a good vision!
Gu Tang's face froze, his eyes wide open. "...Served as a bodyguard for half a day? And helped kill a few people? Are you crazy?!"
"I'm fine, why am I crazy?" Agou looked puzzled.
"Which normal person would suddenly help someone kill someone?" Gu Tang glared at him. Is this something a normal person could do?!
"I didn't want to do it at first, but they gave me this amount..." Agou stretched out a finger and waved it back and forth in front of Gu Tang's eyes.
"How much? One thousand taels?"
"Ten for a thousand taels."
"Fuck! Ten thousand taels?!"
Ah Gou nodded: "Yes, I didn't want to do it at first, but they offered too much, so I took it."
Ten thousand taels of silver... half a day's guard plus a few killed people...
Gu Tang: ...Fuck! Her heart is shamefully moved!!!
No, no!
Bah! Bah! Bah!
She is a model young person who grew up under the red flag!
How can you have such an idea?
It must be that when she turned into a ghost in the underworld, the resentment affected her!
Gu Tang cleared his throat: "Ahem! Did those people you killed deserve to die?"
"They deserved to die. They killed several innocent people who were passing by."
That's damn right!
"How many did you kill?"
"Not many, just five people, all dressed in black."
Five people...
Excluding the half-day guard fee, each of these five people would be worth… Pah! Why was she calculating again?!
"Tell me everything from beginning to end, don't leave out a single detail!"
Gu Tang had a serious look on his face. Anyone who could afford ten thousand taels of silver must be no ordinary person. But he must not bring any bad trouble upon himself.
Tell it from beginning to end?
Agou thought for a while and realized that this matter had to start from the day he returned to Bei'an City last time.
Last time he stayed at Gu's house for one night, and the next day he took a few little beggars back to Bei'an City.
Everything went smoothly at first, and he sent the little beggars back to the charity hall.
Afterwards, he checked the charity hall inside and out, preparing for his temporary departure.
He first checked everything in the yard. There were still many people, enough food, firewood and charcoal, and warm clothes were also distributed, with each person receiving a new set of clothes.
After checking the things inside the yard, they began to check outside the yard.
After coming out of the charity hall, Agou began to patrol around the yard.
Halfway through the inspection, I found a pool of blood at a corner.
Not far from the pool of blood, there lay a young man whose life or death was unknown. He was about the same age as him.
"...At the time, I thought I'd just pretend I didn't see him and walk around him. But after I took a few steps forward, he woke up and said he was being chased and hoped I could help him."
Gu Tang's eyes were dim: "Do you believe it?"
"I didn't believe it, but he took out several banknotes. I didn't believe him, but the banknotes were real."
Agou said frankly that he did it for the sake of the banknotes.
"What's next?"
"The man behind him had his entourage coming over, and the two sides were about to meet. Ten or so people suddenly jumped out from all directions and attacked the man simultaneously.
At that time, the man promised that if I helped him, he would pay me double the amount in silver notes.
At this point, Ah Gou was a little dissatisfied, "I either drove away or killed those men in black. It was agreed that I would give two thousand silver coins for each one I killed.
When it came time to pay the banknotes, he didn't have enough, so he had to use the things I gave him today as compensation."
Gu Tang: ...I'm so envious! This kind of Kung Fu is really different. You can earn money even if you kill someone.
"Does that person know your specific situation? He was carrying a large amount of valuables and was being hunted, and you were involved in this incident, killing several men in black. The person behind this must be very angry. If he comes after you, I'm afraid there will be endless trouble!"
"Don't worry, I was masked when I killed people, so they couldn't recognize me. Besides, I've moved to the village now, so the person behind this won't be able to find me even if they dig three feet underground."
"If that's the case, that would be the best." Gu Tang breathed a sigh of relief. As long as there were no troubles afterwards, it would be fine.
"Alright, get out of here now. Don't stay in my room for too long. If you run into my dad, you'd better watch your back!"
After figuring out the whole story, Gu Tang began to drive people away.
Agou didn't dare to argue with her, so he had to leave with a smile.
When I came out, I took a closer look at the yard outside.
It was already dark, and the heavy snow, which had been gradually decreasing, became dense again, blocking the view and making it difficult to see.
