The Sweet Little Fulang - Chapter 223

Seeing Lu Gu’s face turning pale in an instant, Shen Yaoqing had to say, “I’ll ask about Qiu’s house today, they often walk outside, and they must have more connections than us. Help, Erqing himself is not small, so he must be fine.”

However, these words could not comfort anyone at all when the entire cavalry had no one alive or no dead body.

Sitting alone in the main room for a long time, Lu Gu didn’t recover. Shen Yan opened his mouth several times to talk to him, but he didn’t say anything, and he almost cried first.

She and Lu Gu have been waiting for her second brother to come back in the past few months. She never imagined that such a thing would happen. Two days ago, she was still telling Lu Gu why the second brother didn’t know how to write a letter and came back. His face turned pale, he knew that he was wrong, and he lowered his head and dared not speak again.

“Sit here and eat by yourself. Auntie cooks for us. It’s cold in the courtyard. Don’t go out. Remember to stay away from the mud stove. It will hurt if you get burned.” She lightly pressed Brother Ling and sat on the small stool next to Lu Gu. Next, I broke a small half of a soft steamed bun to eat.

“Yeah.” Brother Ling nodded his head, took a bite of the steamed bun in his hand, looked at Aunt, and then turned to look at Eminem.

Although the child is small, he can feel the changes at home. Lu Gu is not in a good mood these few days, even Lingjun is not naughty, and he just stays obedient.

Lu Guwu was stunned, he didn’t even know what he was thinking, but when he regained his senses, it was Brother Ling who stood in front of him and patted his knee.

“Amu, I’m thirsty.”

The child’s soft voice sounded, and he froze for a moment before saying, “Okay, Eminem will pour you some water.”

“Where’s my aunt?” he asked casually.

“Auntie went to cook.” Ling Ge’er stood on tiptoe, put his hands on the edge of the table to watch him pour the water, the half of the steamed bun has been eaten.

“Warm water, just right.” Lu Gu handed him the bowl.

It was cold and the tandoor was placed beside the table. He lifted the lid and scooped up some hot water. He heard Shen Yan cooking in the kitchen, and said, “Go to the bed and play, Eminem will stuff you with a mother-in-law in the bed. Warm up, okay?”

Ling Ge’er, who was drinking water with a bowl in both hands, couldn’t care to speak, and only nodded after putting down the bowl: “Okay.”

He didn’t run around today, and he didn’t dare to call Eminem to go out to play. He sat here with cold feet and cold hands when the wind blew, and it was just right to get into the warm bed.

Lu Gu brought the child into the room, and after settling in, he went to the kitchen to help, and let Brother Ling stay on the bed because no one was watching. If the child touched the mud stove, he was different from the adults. Incredible.

After getting busy, he wanted to look at the main room while cutting vegetables, for fear that Ling Jun would run out to play while the adults were not paying attention. Whether he or Shen Yan, his face was fine, but the kitchen was much more silent than usual.

On the second day of the twelfth lunar month, seeing that there was only one month left for the Chinese New Year, Shen Yaoqing inquired everywhere. This morning, he drove the mule carts and the families of a few men to Yuqing Mansion City.

Lu Gu and Shen Yan took Linger to look at the shop, no matter what, life would have to go on, not to mention that if they didn’t do something, they would just sit at home and think wildly.

In the afternoon, a husband came to buy rabbits. He didn’t want fur but meat. He asked Shen Yan to watch from the front and went to the backyard to kill the rabbits.

Recently, Shen Yao was running outside without touching his feet. He took Shen Yan and Brother Ling, whether killing rabbits or chickens and ducks, he became more and more skilled.

He was sitting on the small stool, the rabbit skin had been peeled off, and he was about to open his guts. His hands were stained with blood. Suddenly, he heard the rattling of the mule carriage outside. , he stopped, raised his head and stared blankly at the big brother who was standing in front of him and almost choked up.

In Tianying Ridge going north, a month and a half ago someone went into the mountain to collect herbs, and found dozens of corpses under the cliff. The herbalist reported to the official.

It’s just that Tianying Ridge is far away from Yuqingfu City, so it is not so easy to find out.

“I didn’t find out about it in Fucheng. I was going to come back, but I ran into the Qiu family and learned the news. Their family went to see their clothes and appearance. It was the people in the cavalry, who just pulled the corpse back yesterday. It was kept in the government office, and I went to see it, there was no Erqing.”

Having said this, Shen Yaoqing wiped his eyes and choked a little: “I’ll look for it again tomorrow, and there are no Boss Qiu and 3rd Qiu there. Their family is going to Tianyingling Mansion City, so I will go too.”

Shen Xuanqing hadn’t come back for a day, so he couldn’t hide these things, he couldn’t hide them, he could only tell the truth.

Lu Gu still sat there, he didn’t move after listening, until Shen Yaoqing tentatively called Guzi.

He clenched the knife in his hand tightly, pursed his lips and lowered his head to continue killing the rabbit, without saying a word, but his hand did not stop.

Seeing him like this, Shen Yaoqing moved his feet, sighed heavily in his heart, and went out first.

Lu Gu was the only one left in the backyard. He still didn’t say a word and lowered his head to work, but suddenly, there was a tick of water dripping down, and the rabbit was cleaned up.

The crowd in front of the shop was messy. Most of the men in the horse team were from Fenggu Town. The bodies lying in the government office were not complete. Some people found the bodies of their own men or their sons. Some people, like Shen Yaoqing, did not find them, and followed him on a mule. When the car came back, after finishing talking for a while, they shook their heads and sighed and wiped away their tears and went home.

At the door of the butcher’s shop, the husband who bought the rabbit heard this, and couldn’t hear the whole thing in a few words, but he guessed that the situation was not very good. He stood in front of the shop and hesitated for a while. , If the rabbit is not killed well, he will not want it, why bother with it.

Before the words could be said, Lu Gu came in from behind carrying the killed rabbit.

“Grandma, take it.” His eyes were a little red, but there was nothing wrong with his words and actions, and he showed a faint smile when he received the money.

When Shen Yaoqing and Shen Yan talked about this, their voices were low, and they did not dare to let the children hear them.

Lingjun was young, and sometimes he couldn’t understand what adults said, but seeing that his aunt and uncle were not looking well, he sat obediently on the small stool and didn’t speak. With a pair of ignorant big eyes on Lu Gu’s cheeks, he carefully looked at a few adults.

The town is so big, most people are idle in winter, and some gossip and rumors can be spread once there is a little bit of wind.

Shen Xuanqing didn’t come back, and the family was in a dark cloud. Even Wei Lanxiang and Ji Qiuyue, who were in their hometown, could not live in peace. Shen Yaoqing asked someone to go back to the village with a message, telling them to stay calm and go to Tianyingling with the Qiu family. look for it.

Even the Gu family got the news, Gu Chengyue and Aunt Gu hurriedly ran to see, they didn’t dare to talk much in front of Lu Gu, and asked Shen Yaoqing behind his back. , and also knew some people, who said that he could ask his cousin to help him find out.

Shen Yaoqing drove the mule cart away, no one went home to pull the rabbit, the shop was no longer open, and there were a few chickens and ducks left, which Lu Gu wanted to keep for Shen Xuanqing until he came back to eat.

It hasn’t snowed in the past few days in the early twelfth month, so the road is easy to walk.

After Lu Gu and Shen Yan sent him out, the two sat in the courtyard for a long time, Ling Ge’er was playing alone beside him, the good boy was lying on the ground, and even his brows and eyes seemed to be stained with melancholy.

“Guzi, Yanyan.” Mrs. Yan came in from outside with a basket. She saw the appearance of the two big and small, and she almost burst into tears.

Last night, Shen Yaoqing went to find Shen Xuanqing and said that he was going out to find Shen Xuanqing, and asked her and Lao Yangtou to help take care of the house. So many people died in the horse team, and the second boy disappeared. Where did she rest, and she cried several times at night. After getting up early and settling in the house, Ni’er and her little grandson let Lao Yang watch over them, and they came over first.

“Come on, A-Niang brought you some delicious food. I’ll cook for us at noon, and cook an egg custard for our hearts and souls.” She said, holding the ignorant and quiet brother Ling in her arms. Painful like something.

Many people were talking, and Lu Gu was no longer so silent.

He thought about it, waiting for Shen Xuanqing to come back, what to do with a sad face, Linger still expects him to take care of it, how can he sit still.

Shen Yan and Gu Chengyue’s marriage still had some unfinished business, but when Shen Yaoqing went out, something like this happened to their family again.

Because Gu Chengyue is a man, it is not easy to come here often, so he let his mother and eldest sister come over if they have something to do, and accompany them to disperse.

On the fifth day, Shen Yaoqing didn’t come back, the sun was quite bright, Lu Gu removed Shen Xuanqing’s quilt and washed it, and took out Luo Biao’s bedding roll to dry.

Shen Yan was cooking in the kitchen, and Xiaohong next door led Ling Geer to play. He was relieved to hear the child’s laughter next door in the courtyard.

“Brother Guzi, you call Brother Ling to come back, and I’ll scoop up the rice for us.” Shen Yan shouted in the kitchen.

He soaked Shen Xuanqing’s thick winter clothes in a large wooden basin, got up after hearing this, and replied, “Okay, I’ll go take a look.”

In the yard next door, Mrs. Liu was also cooking. In her yard, there was also Lu Furang in the alley next door, who was about the same age as her. Usually, when Lu Gu met, she would call out Mammy.

Lu Furang’s mouth is broken, he likes to chew his tongue behind his back, and he also likes to take advantage of him. Sometimes Mrs. Liu is nice to him, and sometimes he is not willing to interact with him when he takes too much advantage. If he didn’t go, Mrs. Liu muttered dissatisfaction in the kitchen, but she still let him eat at home.

“No, no, even though my family is not here, I can just go back and do whatever I want.” Lu Furang said this, but he didn’t move the ground.

Mrs. Liu is not a stingy person, but Lu Furang rarely let her take advantage. Hearing this, he secretly cursed and didn’t say much, just dawdling in the kitchen.

Lu Furang put down the soles of his shoes and saw Linger playing in the courtyard. He knew the child, the child was only two years old. Even so, he didn’t hold back the gossip in his mouth.

“Everyone said that your father died outside, do you know that?”

Lu Gu had just walked to the door of Liu’s house, when he heard this sentence, and looked over, but it was Lu Furang who was speaking to Brother Ling.

With a buzzing sound, his mind seemed to go blank, and a burst of anger suddenly burst out from the bottom of his heart. He didn’t know how he got in. He grabbed the crying Ling Geer and pulled him behind him. He pointed at Lu Fulang’s nose and cursed: “You are blind and dark-hearted. You have a rotten gut. If you say this in front of a child, you are not afraid of being struck by lightning.”

When he was caught gossiping behind his back, Lu Furang shrank his neck all of a sudden, but he did not dare to answer.

“You tell me, who is dead? Tell me!”

Lu Gu’s hands were shaking. Seeing that Lu Furang didn’t speak, he didn’t point at each other anymore. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became. His whole body began to tremble. Tears flowed out unconsciously. He stepped forward and grabbed Lu Furang’s collar tightly.

“Hit someone, beat someone!”

Lu Furang immediately shouted, and Sapo was the best at cheating on him. Between the two of them, he realized that Lu Gu would not be able to tear, and immediately stretched out his hand to scratch Lu Gu’s face.

Even though he hadn’t fought anyone, Lu Gu subconsciously took a step back and was almost tripped over by Linger, who was hiding behind him and crying.

The child’s cry suddenly became louder, and Mrs. Liu hurriedly carried the child to the side.

Lu Gu has never been so angry as he is today. His brain was clouded and his tears stopped flowing. His eyes were flushed with anger. He didn’t even think about it.

Lu Furang was careless and hurriedly grabbed Lu Gu’s hair. He got so close, he raised his hand to block it, but he was half a step too late. He touched his cheeks, and half of his face immediately burned hot.

Unlike the husband in the town, Lu Gu had to do a lot of work when he was in his hometown.

It’s just that he never fought, and Lu Furang grabbed his hair, causing his scalp to hurt.

“Come on, come on!” Mrs. Liu put the child next to her and hurriedly came up to fight.

Shen Yan heard Ling Ge’er crying just now when she was serving a meal, and now she also ran in. She didn’t know what happened, and she and Mrs. Liu separated Lu Gu and Lu Furang.

Seeing Lu Furang grabbing Lu Gu’s hair, she cried and cried, but her hands were very fast, grabbing Lu Furang’s hair and pulling it to the side.

“God **** it, little prostitute, I’ll drive you crazy!”

Lu Fulang was pulled out by his scalp, how could he feel better, he yelled like killing a pig, and all the neighbors ran in.

When Lu Furang let go, Lu Gu slapped him again, and he didn’t know where the strength came from. When Lu Furang waved to hit Shen Yan, he grabbed the opponent’s wrist and put his hands around it to prevent Lu Furang from scratching him. Take a bite out of your hand.

Before the fight broke out, seven or eight women and husbands were talking about each other, and the three of them were quickly separated in the chaos, preventing them from being torn apart.

Ling Ge’er and Shen Yan were both crying, Lu Gu wiped away tears, he couldn’t hold his breath, and asked Lu Furang in front of everyone: “I just ask you, did you open your eyes or saw my family Erqing with your own eyes? dead body?”

“You told the child that he died, but do you have evidence? Is there a corpse? If you have a corpse, give it to me. If not, you curse others to die with empty words. What’s your conscience?”

“The neighbors are all here. You made it clear to me today. Did you see him dead?”

He gritted his teeth and questioned sharply, but the tears couldn’t stop flowing.

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Liu glared at Lu Furang, even though Shen Xuanqing was very likely to die outside, but the Shen family was still looking for it outside, how could they say this in front of others?

Seeing that the situation was not right, Lu Furang glared at him sideways, then became anxious and denied, “I didn’t say it, I didn’t say it.”

“You didn’t say, that’s why I cursed my family’s Erqing to death?” Lu Gu was also anxious, and his voice was raised a bit.

“I said Dongsheng, you usually like to gossip. It’s too inauthentic to curse people to death.”

“That’s right, I’m not afraid of rotten mouth and rotten intestines.”

“People say that disaster comes from the mouth. You like to chew your tongue so much, and you are not afraid of the wind.”

Neighbors all know who Lu Dongsheng is. At this moment, he can’t stand it any longer. You make a mockery of your words and I make him feel ashamed. Just as he was about to defend himself, he was interrupted again.

“It’s better to be a human being. You dare to say such things in front of children. In the future, we will not dare to communicate with you.”

“That’s right, Brother Ling is only two years old, and you talk to a doll. You do things like this? Aren’t you afraid of being punished?”

Lu Furang only had one mouth, so he didn’t dare to offend so many people. Half of his face was swollen and he swallowed his voice and walked away. After he went out, he spat at the gate of Liu’s house, but he didn’t dare to be seen.

“Auntie, I’m going back first.” Lu Gu picked up Brother Ling, wiped the tears on the child’s face, said to seven or eight older people, and went home with Shen Yan.

The neighbors all knew that there was something wrong with their house, so they nodded their heads and told them to go back and rest.

Mrs. Liu was the most angry, and after Lu Gu left, she scolded Lu Dongsheng to the point of being bloody.

She actually heard what Lu Dongsheng said to Linger, but before she could stop it, Lu Gu entered the door, making her look ashamed.
