Chapter 241 The Last Wish of the Ancient Father and Daughter Whose Luck Was Taken Away 8

Uncle Gu Da and Uncle Gu Er were distracted by Chang'an's screams, and the illusion was triggered after just a moment of distraction. Uncle Gu San's pale face appeared right in front of them.

"what!!!"

"Bang, bang," with two sounds, the two old men fell to the ground and fainted from fright.

Changan and Gu Laoliu: You are too frightened. No, we have to get up and scare you again.

The two Lao Liu secretly woke the two old men up, and then gave each of them a wake-up talisman, allowing them to experience the excitement of wanting to faint but not being able to.

In fact, it is not entirely correct to say that they are old men. People in ancient times got married at the age of sixteen or seventeen, and had great-grandchildren when they were in their forties. The original owner's grandfather was only thirty-eight years old when he died, but he had grandchildren, so he was treated as an old man.

Uncle Gu Da and Uncle Gu Er were so scared that they knelt down and begged for mercy. From their perspective, they saw Uncle Gu San who wanted to take them away.

From the perspective of the onlookers, the two old men were crying to the air as if they had some serious illness, "Old Third, we will never dare to do it again, please let us go."

Crowd: Is Mr. Gu San really back?

Everyone tacitly stepped back several meters, fearing that they would be contaminated by something dirty.

Seeing that they were almost scared enough, Chang'an ended their illusion and put nightmare talismans on them.

The people from Uncle Gu and Uncle Gu's families arrived late. They all wanted the two old men to take the lead so that they could reap the benefits.

Unexpectedly, he not only failed to gain any advantage, but almost scared the two old men to death. He could only take the person back in shame, not daring to say a word in front of Gu Laoliu.

Although there were some twists and turns in building the house, they were resolved quickly and everything went very smoothly afterwards. Some sour remarks can be ignored.

The Xia family had just received a sum of money, and they didn't seem to be very sad about Xia Qiushi being expelled from the academy. They also followed the Gu family's example and built a new house, intending to find a good marriage for Xia Qiushi.

When Xia Qiuju learned that Wei Ang had left, she made a fuss about going to the capital to find him, but was then locked up in the woodshed by her mother and not allowed to leave.

When there was no one at home, she was released by the son of Xia Qiuju's eldest brother. She promised her nephew that as long as she had established herself firmly in the capital, she would come back to take him to the capital.

Nephew Xia knew that his aunt was Master Wei's savior. Out of gratitude, Master Wei would take good care of his aunt. As long as she went to the capital, she would definitely have a good future.

He took advantage of the fact that everyone in the family was out working to release Xia Qiuju from the woodshed, and helped her find his grandparents' silver.

"Xia Zhi, my aunt is taking this money so that she can settle down in the capital as soon as possible. We need to take care of everything outside. If I can settle down earlier, you can also come to the capital earlier."

Xia Qiuju tried her best to please her nephew. In order to keep him stable, she gritted her teeth and gave him a silver note worth one hundred taels.

"Xiazhi, if aunt is free, she will come back to pick you up. If she can't come back, I will send a letter back. You must hide this banknote. It will be your travel expenses to the capital."

"I understand, aunt," Xia Zhi took the silver note, his heart pounding as if it was about to jump out of his throat, and his hands trembling a little. In his twelve years of life, this was the most silver he had ever seen.

Xia Qiuju withdrew her distressed look and comforted herself that she still had more than a thousand taels, and these one hundred taels were the reward for Xia Zhi for letting her out.

Yes, she took away all the money in the family, but she was not completely conscienceless and left more than fifty taels for her parents.

The Xia family was busy building a house, but it was robbed. Old Mrs. Xia sat on the ground crying, but Xia Qiuju had already left Ding'an Town. She still had some brains and knew to spend the money and go with the escort agency.

After he let Xia Qiuju go at the summer solstice, he went into the mountains alone and did not come back until very late.

Everyone thought he had left with Xia Qiuju. A villager who had seen him told Xia Lao Da, "Your Xia Zhi went into the mountains. He said he saw that you were working too hard, so he wanted to hunt a pheasant and bring it back for you to eat."

Boss Xia's face turned pale. He nervously grabbed the man's arm and said, "Brother Zheng, did you see which mountain he went to?"

"He went to Mangshan in the east because he heard there were many wild animals there. So he ignored everyone's objections and insisted on going into Mangshan."

Zheng Sanzhu felt that Xia Zhi was looking for death. Even adults didn't dare to enter Mangshan. How could a twelve-year-old kid like him have the confidence to hunt pheasants in Mangshan?

Mangshan is extremely dangerous. It is said that there are giant pythons that have become monsters in it. No one in the surrounding villages dares to go near Mangshan.

Boss Xia stumbled back a few steps, muttering, "It's over, it's over, it's all over."

Xia Zhi is the eldest grandson of the eldest son, and the old couple of the Xia family usually favor him. Now he heard that their precious grandson had entered Mangshan.

Old Mrs. Xia couldn't catch her breath and fainted.

After learning about the situation, Li Zheng immediately organized the young and middle-aged men in the village, including Gu Laoliu. A large group of people holding torches went into Mangshan to search for people.

Chang'an and Yinlang stood at the door of their house. The man and the wolf looked at each other, and both saw speechless in each other's eyes.

It seems like her sixth father has forgotten something again?

No one is more suitable than Silver Wolf to find someone. Chang An patted Silver Wolf on the head and said, "Go ahead. My father can lose himself. The villagers are all unreliable. You have to do this."

"Awooo," I got it. Go back to sleep. Brother Wolf will bring your father back soon.

A ray of silver light disappeared into the night and flew towards Mangshan Mountain.

Chang'an sat on the threshold of the gate of her home waiting for them to come back. Mother Gu was worried about her being alone, so she stayed with her.

"Grandma, go to bed. There is still a lot of work waiting for you to do tomorrow. You will feel tired if you don't rest," Chang'an put a sleeping charm on her and then took the yawning Mother Gu back to the temporary straw hut where they lived.

Yinlang and Gu Laoliu came back in the late night. Chang'an had been waiting in the yard. When she saw the man and the wolf coming back with a lot of things hanging on their bodies, she knew that the two had gone to purchase goods.

As for finding the person, they helped, but they ran away once they found the person and left the rest to other villagers.

"Dad, what happened to that guy?"

Gu Laoliu took off the things hanging on his body, his eyes sparkled, as if the stars in the sky fell into his eyes.

"It's nothing serious, just some minor injuries. He was frightened by a big snake and fainted, so he couldn't get home in time."

I wonder how he would feel if he found out after the summer solstice that he couldn't enjoy the big cake that Xia Qiuju had drawn for him?

I don't know what he feels now, but he got 100 taels of silver, which is not a total loss. It is equivalent to the lifetime income of most people in Fuhua Village. At least he has enough money to marry a wife.

He became rich and the Xia family became poor. The money was stolen by Xia Qiuju, and the construction of the new house came to nothing. However, the Gu family's new house took three months to complete in late autumn.

Their family is small, and considering that Gu Yuanshan will go to the capital in the future, his wife and children will definitely be taken away together, and there is a high probability that Gu's mother will also go with him.

The rule in Fuhua Village is that the eldest son takes care of the elderly. If Gu Yuanshan becomes an official, he will definitely not let his old mother live with his younger brother, as this will damage his reputation.

So the house is not big, a courtyard house with one entrance, which is just enough for the family at present, and everyone has a room of his or her own.

Gu's mother happily held a housewarming party and invited the villagers to have a meal to add popularity to the new home.
