A Lucky Wife Born Again From a Farm Family Chapter 40

Chapter 40 On the road

Three days is also Gu Jinli's limit. She will only wait three days at most. After all, her life is her own, and there is no reason to put her in it just to wait for others.

Gu Dafu didn't want to leave. He looked at the grave pile next to him and said, "There are still surviving villagers in the village. They will definitely come back. Let's wait."

"Wait a minute!" Ms. Chen got angry and pointed in the distance and shouted: "Uncle, look up and see how many people are left at the foot of the mountain? Almost all the living victims have left. Why are you waiting? You have to wait. You wait yourself, we won't wait anyway.”

After speaking, he said to the third grandfather: "Right, third uncle."

Mr. Chen is a smart person. She directly dragged Third Grandpa in, obviously trying to isolate Gu Dafu.

Gu Dagui also disagreed with Gu Dafu's continued waiting, and advised: "Brother, let's go. If the villagers had come back, they would have come back a long time ago. If they haven't come back for three days, they must have left."

What happened that night was so horrific. How many villagers were still alive who dared to come back?

Gu Dafu didn't say anything. He felt that it was the village chief who killed the villagers, and as the successor of the village chief, he had to stay and wait for the villagers.

When Mrs. Chen saw that Gu Dafu was silent, she jumped anxiously, pulled Gu Dexing and Gu Yumei over, and said to Gu Dafu: "Uncle, you have to think about Brother Xing and Sister Mei. Do you want them to accompany you when you are hungry?" Are you dying of thirst here? If they die, will you be worthy of my sister-in-law?"

 Gu Dafu's daughter-in-law was also killed that night.

Gu Dexing and Gu Yumei broke away from Chen's pull and stepped aside, not wanting or daring to force Gu Dafu to make a decision.

Mrs. Chen glared at them angrily: "You two are heartless. I am doing this for your own good. Do you really want to follow your father and stay here with the dead?"

 Gu Dexing and Gu Yumei trembled when they heard the word "dead" and glanced at the graveyard in Gujiacun.

When Mrs. Chen saw this, she snorted coldly. If she knew she was afraid, she would force Gu Dafu with her.

Third Grandpa glanced at Gu Dafu and advised him, "Dafu, don't wait any longer. Let's go. We still have more than thirty lives here, so we can't lose them all here."

“Third Uncle...” Gu Dafu finally raised his head and looked at Third Grandpa with tearful eyes.

Third Grandpa said: "Let's go, enough people have died in the village, we can't afford any more deaths among our group."

When Gu Dafu heard this, he looked at the families in the resting area. He was silent for a moment and finally nodded in agreement: "Let's go!"

The family members all breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Gu Dafu's words.

Mrs. Chen started to pack things with a smile on her face. She wanted to get the food, but was stopped by the third grandma: "Ms. Chen, just take care of your two children. The three of us have these things."

Food and water belong to the three of them, and salt belongs to Xiaoyu alone. To be able to take out these things for everyone to eat is already the most benevolent thing. Chen still wants to take these things to his own home, which is just a dream.

Gu Jinli watched Chen's every move and said nothing.

 As early as three days ago, she quietly prepared a small bag of grain for each person in the family and tied it to her body.

She carried the cloth bag of coarse salt on her back all the time. She only gave a little to the third grandma every day, so that the third grandma could take it and distribute it to everyone to replenish the salt.

Escape is not easy, so she can only try to save her family.

 She told the Luo family and the third grandfather's family about this, and asked each of them to tie a small bag of grain to their bodies in case of emergency.

Ms. Chen didn't have any embarrassment on her face when she heard what the third grandma said. While walking around the third grandma, she was thinking about how to find opportunities to steal food.

After deciding to leave, Gu Dafu took out the household registration papers, land deeds, and money found from the corpses of the villagers, and said worriedly: "Uncle San, what should I do with these things? These are all things needed to settle down. What if we take them out?" Take these things away, what if some villagers come back to look for them?" Chen is a greedy person. She has been thinking about the land deed money for a long time. She hurriedly said: "Of course I will take it with me. Uncle, you are a man and you are not careful enough. Let me look at these things.”

As he said that, he was about to rush over and **** the land deed money from Gu Dafu's hand, but Gu Dagui grabbed him.

Gu Dagui wanted to slap her: "Are you crazy about money, you bitch? That's dead people's money. If you take it, aren't you afraid that the dead villagers will come to you at night?"

Mr. Chen was afraid of ghosts. When she heard this, her face turned pale with fright, and she didn't dare to think about the land deed money again.

The third grandfather thought for a while and said, "Let's bury them one by one in front of the grave."

Since ancient times, it has been a custom for living people to bury some items in front of the graves of their ancestors. Everyone in the village knows this. As long as they see a small bag of earth in front of the grave, they will know that there is something inside and they will dig it out to see.

After hearing this, Gu Dafu responded, and together with brothers Luo Fu, Gu Dashan, Uncle Tian, ​​Gu Damu and Gu Dalin, they collected each family's household registration papers, land deeds, and money wallets, and then dug a row of small holes in front of the grave. , bury things in pits and pile them into small earthen bags.

In addition, according to the ranking of each household in the village, the same number of pebbles as the ranking were found to surround the small earth bag as a distinction, so as to prevent the returning villagers from taking the wrong things from other families.

Grandpa Third called everyone together and kowtowed once at the earthen grave where the villagers were buried. After getting up, he said to everyone: "Let's go."

 When everyone heard these two words, they felt heavy and panicked. The road ahead was long and they didn't know what else they would encounter.

Gu Jinli **** the cloth bag, took the dagger and wooden stick, tightened the hands of Gu Jinxiu and Cui, and walked behind Gu Dashan who was holding Brother Cheng. The Luo family, his son and Mr. Qin took the lead in the direction of Yongtai Mansion. Go.

Mr. Qin said: "When we get to Yongtai Mansion, we can go south along the Chi Road."

There were four great Chi Roads in the Chu Dynasty, which crisscrossed the east, west, north and south. The intersection of the four Great Chi Roads was in Yongtai Prefecture. Only when you arrived at Yongtai Prefecture could you turn to the south.

Transportation was inconvenient in ancient times. Among their group, only Mr. Qin and Mr. Luo had traveled far. However, Mr. Qin was more familiar with these routes than Mr. Luo. Therefore, they could only believe what Mr. Qin said.

 “Thank you, brother.” Third Grandpa said gratefully.

Mr. Qin said with a smile: "No need to work, we support each other."

On the way, they met many small groups of victims, many of whom were familiar faces, presumably those who survived that night.

 But after what happened that night, the victims were so frightened that they would not take the initiative to say hello even if they met familiar faces, and would only follow the people they were close to.

Grandpa San and the others were also afraid that these victims would do something drastic. When they met acquaintances, they would nod at most and did not go up to say hello. Everyone went their separate ways and were on guard.

The group of people walked towards Yongtai Mansion for four days, and were lucky enough to find a half-dry mountain spring, and finally did not die of thirst.

When they were about to enter Yongtai Mansion, they suddenly saw a large group of victims running back in a panic, some with blood stains on their bodies.

Gu Jinli was startled, knowing that something bad was going on, and immediately said to everyone: "Let's find a place to hide quickly, don't enter Yongtai Mansion first!"

Mr. Qin's face darkened and he said hurriedly: "Something must have happened in Yongtai Mansion. Everyone should hide quickly."

He then said to Qin Sanlang: "Sanlang, go catch a victim and ask them what happened to them?"
