Mountain People - v6 Chapter 72

     “By the way, I haven’t asked you yet. Since you have a portrait of my cousin, but you have something to do with him? What about my cousin? Is he still alive?”

    Facing the earnest gaze of the former old lady, Gu Shuixiu looked at Dong Chenghu sadly.

    Dong Chenghu sighed a long time and said with great sorrow: “Dong Yitao is my father, but he is already dead. We came to Baishui County this time to find our roots and ask our ancestors.”

    Different from the old lady’s surprise, Yuan Yuqing was shocked. She knew Dong Chenghu’s identity, and now Dong Chenghu said he was Dong Yitao’s son, and Dong Yitao was her grandmother’s cousin, So their family is still close to the royal family!

    As soon as this idea emerged, Yuan Yuqing was completely stunned. She never thought that their family would have something to do with the royal family, which could not be reached. It felt like a dream.

    The original old lady grabbed Dong Chenghu’s hand excitedly, carefully scrutinized his appearance, the more she looked, the more excited she said, “Like, there is still some resemblance in the eyebrows, but with Tang Brother doesn’t really think about it, but it’s more like Uncle.”

    The uncle in the old lady’s mouth is Dong Chenghu’s grandfather.

    “I didn’t expect that in my lifetime, I would still see my cousin’s son. There are still people in our Dong family. It’s good, it’s good!” falling down.

    Thinking of her age, she cried so many times today, Gu Shuixiu was a little worried that she couldn’t bear it, and seeing Dong Chenghu was also excited, she didn’t think about it, and quickly said with relief: “Old lady, I didn’t expect that we are still a family. It’s all fate. According to our seniority, we should call you aunt. Look, auntie, you are now seeing your eldest nephew. You should be happy. It is!”

    “Yes, yes, I should be happy, I should be happy…” After Gu Shuixiu said this, the old lady quickly wiped away her tears, her tears turned into laughter, but an old face was crying because of bitterness It turned red several times.

    Lian Shi thoughtfully brought a water basin over to the former old lady to wash up, the rural people were not so particular, and the former old lady was already quite old, so she was not shy, in front of everyone He directly washed his face and looked at Dong Chenghu and the others with a smile.

    At this moment, Dong Chenghu pulled Gu Shuixiu to his side and said to the old lady, “Auntie, this is my daughter-in-law Gu. We now have three sons and one daughter.”

    After introducing Gu Shuixiu, Dong Chenghu pulled Yang Zixuan to his side again, and said, “This is my nephew, my sister’s eldest son. According to his seniority, he should call you auntie.”

    Yang Zixuan was stunned for a moment, but in response he still called the former old lady obediently, auntie, but he was full of slander in his heart.

    Besides Yuan Yuqing saw Yang Zixuan’s short-lived weird expression, and couldn’t help but snicker while covering her mouth.

    The former old lady laughed with satisfaction when she heard that her cousin actually had two daughters and a son, and each of them started a family with their children and grandchildren around their knees.

    At this time, there was a violent coughing sound in the adobe room, the old lady immediately got up worried and quickly entered the room to have a look.

     Yuan Jixiang saw that Dong Chenghu and the others looked puzzled, and sighed: “I think my father is sick again, his health has not been better, and he can’t see the wind, so he can only stay in bed all the time. Rest, our family’s previous conditions were okay, it was just to see my father’s doctor, that’s what we are now. It’s just that we have tried everything, but we still haven’t been able to cure my father’s illness. My mother and my father have a very deep relationship. , we are worried that if my father has an emergency, my mother may not be able to bear it.”

     Yuan Jixiang’s words are not alarmist. The former old lady and the former old man have been together for decades. To take care of her, this sincere feeling supports the old lady to come over. If the old man is gone, the old lady probably doesn’t want to live anymore.

    Dong Chenghu heard the deep worry in Yuan Jixiang’s words, and thought of Yuan Yuqing’s previous statement that she was performing in the inn to raise money for the former old man to see a doctor, and he couldn’t sit still. To Dong Qi behind him, he instructed: “Go to Fucheng and invite all the famous doctors over to treat my uncle. In addition, notify Luo Qing and ask him to bring his military doctor who is skilled in surgery and medicine.”

    “Yes!” Dong Qi respectfully responded, turned around and ran away quickly.

    The Yuan family was stunned by Dong Chenghu’s words, and couldn’t recover for a long time. When Dong Qi ran away, Yuan Jixiang said in a panic: “Eun Gong, you saved my girl, how can we Can I trouble you again, and the doctor in the city is not so kind, our family…”

    Their family simply can’t afford the money to hire a doctor, not to mention the doctor in the prefecture city, or the ordinary doctor in the county town.

    Dong Chenghu knew what Yuan Jixiang was worried about, so he waved his hand indifferently and said: “However, we are also cousins. Seeing that you are older than me, I will call you cousin. They are all from my own family. I don’t need to be polite to my cousin, it’s not a big deal for me to ask for a doctor, it’s just right to heal my uncle’s body first.”

    Yuan Jixiang saw Dong Chenghu’s sincerity and no falsification, and he also desperately hoped that the old man’s body could be treated, so he accepted Dong Chenghu’s kindness, and was even more grateful to him.

    Yuan Yuqing was very excited because of this, and she didn’t know how to thank Dong Chenghu and the others, so she took Lian and said to Dong Chenghu and the others: “We will cook for you, but our family has limited conditions. , please don’t dislike it.”

    “Yes, yes, cooking, how could I forget such an important thing!” Lian Shi patted his head, looking annoyed, and said to Yuan Jixiang: “Let’s go kill the boss. A sheep, treat the cousin’s family well today.”

    Gu Shuixiu wanted to tell them not to spend any more money, but she didn’t even have a chance to speak, so she couldn’t help crying and laughing.

    The Yuan family left behind at this time also includes Yuan Jixiang’s two sons Yuan Changji and Yuan Changshou, both of them are not very old, they are still half-year-old boys, they are a little unfamiliar to Dong Chenghu , but they knew that the person in front of them was not a bad person, so they kept hiding on the side and peeking at them. Dong Chenghu wanted to call them over, but who knew that as soon as they opened their mouths, the two boys also ran away.

    Dong Chenghu couldn’t help but smirk twice, he is not a beast, why are these two children so afraid of him?

    After all, he has been on the battlefield and has been an emperor for a few years. Dong Chenghu didn’t realize how terrifying his aura was, and smiled bitterly: “Shui Xiu, they are afraid of me!”

    Gu Shuixiu nodded solemnly, and said humbly, “You don’t look like a good person.”

    Dong Chenghu: “…”
