Mountain People - v6 Chapter 71

    Gu Shuixiu hurriedly helped the person up and said softly, “You don’t have to be so polite, sister-in-law, we are just doing our best, probably because the original girl is more suitable for us, this time we also want to ask some questions from your family. News, please do me a favor, sister-in-law.”

    When Lian heard it, it was Yuan Yuqing’s saviour who asked for them, and he would refuse, and he didn’t ask what Gu Shuixiu was about, but he nodded and agreed.

    Gu Shuixiu saw that the Lian family is also a kind-hearted person, she was satisfied, and she spoke more gently and politely, “That’s it, we asked the original girl about Dongjia Village, and the original girl said that Dongjia Village has disappeared, It just so happened that your old lady came from Dongjia Village, so we wanted to come over and ask your old lady about Dongjia Village.”

    Lian didn’t expect this to happen, looked at the adobe house next to him doubtfully, and said to Yuan Jixiang: “Head of the house, you go ask your mother and let her come out to meet the guests.”

    Although Yuan Jixiang was also puzzled, she happily entered the adobe room. After a while, an elderly old lady walked out slowly behind Yuan Jixiang. The old lady looked at the yard full of people. People, saw Yuan Yuqing at a glance, a kind smile appeared on the old face, “Yuqing is back! This time is late, your parents are worried.”

    Yuan Yuqing sweetly called her grandmother, daring to let her know what happened to her, so she made a fool of herself.

    “Grandma, let me tell you, I ran into some troubles on the way back, fortunately I met these kind people who helped me so that I can come back safely, grandma, they have something to think about Is it okay to ask you?” Yuan Yuqing’s ability to change the subject is not ordinary.

    The old lady of the Yuan family wanted to ask what trouble Yuan Yuqing was in, but when she heard what she said, she immediately forgot about it, looked at Gu Shuixiu and the others, and asked suspiciously, “What do you have? What do you want to ask my old lady?”

    The old lady of the Yuan family is sure that she does not know Gu Shuixiu, and she has never left Zhafeng Ao in the past few decades, and has never seen outsiders. For decades, this is the first time Someone came to her specifically, which surprised her.

    Gu Shuixiu saw that the old lady was cheerful, gentle and easy to talk, and she had a good impression. She exchanged glances with Dong Chenghu, nodded, sat next to the old lady, and said after deliberation, “Old lady, we are not white water. The people from the county came to look for someone, I heard that the old lady used to be from Dongjia Village, but have you heard of Dong Yitao?”

    “Why did you inquire about this person? What is your relationship with him?” The old lady of the Yuan family was all excited when she heard the name Dong Yitao, she grabbed Gu Shuixiu’s hand in disbelief, and her eyes Excitement, anticipation, and pain.

    Pain? How can there be such a feeling? Could it be that this old lady from the original family really knew Dong Yitao?

    Gu Shuixiu and Dong Chenghu looked at each other, resisting the excitement in their hearts, and asked Yang Zixuan to bring Dong Yitao’s portrait and spread it out on the table.

    “Old lady, first see if this person is Dong Yitao?”

    This painting was painted by Dong Chenghu based on his impression, and it took people a long time to paint it, but the person in the painting is not young anymore, he looks like he is in his thirties and almost forty.

    The old lady of the Yuan family stared at the portrait for a long time, she was silent, Gu Shuixiu raised her head suspiciously, but saw that the old lady of the Yuan family had tears on her face and was sobbing silently.

    The Yuan family was taken aback by the appearance of the old lady. They wanted to comfort but didn’t know how to comfort them. They looked at the people in the portraits with confusion and confusion in their eyes.

    The original old lady cried for a long time before she recovered, her face was already red, her cloudy eyes seemed to be recalling something, and she said slowly: “The person in the painting is indeed him, although looking at He is a lot older, but I will not admit it wrong, it is him! Dong Yitao is my cousin, but not a real cousin. Looking back carefully, our two grandfathers are cousins. Because the elders of the two families have a good relationship, we These juniors are very close.

    My cousin was very naughty when he was a child. My cousin went to Fucheng and became an apprentice in the security guard, just to make him behave.

      Stop making trouble at the escort.

    When the accident happened in Dongjia Village, I was married to the original family. At that time, my old man was still a master in a private school in Fucheng. We stayed in Fucheng like our cousin, and escaped the disaster. When we got the news and rushed back to Dongjia Village, the whole village was gone, everyone was dead! woohoo…”

    The old lady seemed to think of the extremely painful past, so she covered her face and cried again.

    Gu Shuixiu understands that this kind of tragedy cannot be comforted by a word or two, not to mention that the original old lady experienced a massacre in the village.

    Yuan Yuqing had never seen the old lady cry like this before. She was overwhelmed with fright and didn’t know how to comfort him. sad.

    The heavy atmosphere dissipated as the old lady spoke again.

     “Of course, it is impossible for me and my cousin to survive only, some women who married out of Dongjia Village and the villagers who went out all survived, but there were only a dozen men left, and the whole village was There were a dozen or so left! We were crazy that day, and we cried until we fainted. One by one, like wandering spirits, we kept rummaging through the dead, hoping to find the surviving villagers, but there was nothing, they didn’t saved.

    I can’t remember how we buried those people, I only know that many in-laws from Dongjia Village came, the village was covered with white silk, paper money was flying everywhere, and the funeral was over After that, my old man took us back to Fucheng.

      When I settled in Zhafeng Au, the villagers here moved in one after another. There were not so many people before. I lived here for three or four years before I slowly started to think about it. By the time I woke up and tried to find my cousin, he was gone. “

    “Sorry, old lady, we didn’t intend to open your scars.” Gu Shuixiu could hear from the old lady’s words how tragic the situation was, and the old lady was sober. It was a blessing to come here.

    The original old lady shook her head indifferently, her eyes still locked on the person in the painting.
