Seventy Buddha Cannon Fodder

Chapter 126

Seeing Gu Mingdong again, Wu Mengting's eyes flickered, Gu Zuo said to him: "Brother Gu, I didn't bring that letter with me, why don't you wait, I will give it to you when I find a suitable opportunity."

"Don't worry, since we agreed, I will give you that letter sooner or later, and it's useless for me to keep it anyway."

This is not going to abide by the agreement anymore.

Gu Mingdong raised his eyebrows: "Do you think you have a handle on me?"

Wu Mengting's face froze, and she subconsciously raised her broken hair: "I am very grateful to Brother Gu for what he did for me. After Lin Aiguo died, I no longer have to worry about it."

As he spoke, he changed the topic: "However, I didn't expect you to be so cruel and merciless. I'm always uneasy in my heart. I'm a little girl. I should leave myself a little way out, don't you think?"

"This letter is here with me. I can rest assured that when I leave Shanghe Village in the future, I will definitely hand over the letter to you intact."

Opening his mouth actually delayed the time for several years.

Lin Li also smiled and said: "Now we all have each other's excuses, and we should help each other even more."

How could Gu Mingdong allow her to be arrogant, and sneered: "Are you threatening me?"

Wu Mengting looked at his cold face, feeling a little scared in her heart, but still said: "I definitely didn't mean that, it's just..."

"You can try." Gu Mingdong interrupted her and even smiled.

The smile on the man's face was so cold, and his eyes showed no emotion at all. Looking at her was like looking at a dying person.

Wu Mengting's face turned red, like a hen whose throat was strangled.

Gu Mingdong said lightly: "Give me the letter now, this is your last chance."

He solved Lin Aiguo not so much for Wu Mengting, but because he couldn't understand Lin Aiguo's actions.

In the last days, what Gu Mingdong looked down on the most was this kind of bastard who bullied children and women. Even if it was someone else, Gu Mingdong would not turn a blind eye.

As for Wu Mengting, it would be naive if she thought she could threaten him if she had a handle.

Wu Mengting wanted to resist, and ignored Gu Mingdong's words. She didn't believe that Gu Mingdong really dared to do anything to her, but when she thought of Lin Aiguo's death, Wu Mengting had lingering fears.

But what if, Gu Mingdong is a very wicked man.

From the first day when she saw Gu Mingdong, Wu Mengting felt that he was different from ordinary country men, and it was just that she didn't follow her methods at all. His eyes always seemed to see through everything.

Sometimes standing in front of Gu Mingdong, Wu Mengting would think that he knew all his secrets.

She didn't get any benefits from Gu Mingdong's side, but she suffered a lot.

Li Lijuan didn't know what kind of shit luck she had, she was obviously abandoned by men, she couldn't stay in Daishan City without her reputation, she just married to the countryside, and she still found such a man.

Lin Aiguo died at the hands of Liu Dazhu. Many members of the commune saw it with their own eyes, and now everyone has died.

Wu Mengting knew very well that even if she went to report Gu Mingdong herself, she would not be successful. On the contrary, there were only a lot of reasons for her to fall into Gu Mingdong's hands.

Shivering suddenly, Wu Mengting reached out and took out the letter from her underwear: "Gu, Brother Gu, I was just kidding you."

What was she thinking just now, that she actually wanted to threaten such a terrible man.

Gu Mingdong reached out to take the letter, and found at a glance that the letter had been opened.

Wu Mengting hurriedly explained: "I just glanced at it out of curiosity, and I definitely haven't touched anything inside."

Gu Mingdong put away the envelope, leaving only one sentence: "Don't bother me in the future."

Looking at his back, Wu Mengting pursed the corners of her lips, and she was glad in her heart that she kept this letter with her all the time out of caution.

No need for Gu Mingdong to say, she didn't dare to trouble him again, after all, this is a ruthless character who kills and silences at every turn.

Gu Mingdong didn't care what Wu Mengting was thinking, and went straight home.

It's not a holiday, the house is quiet, and the people who go to work and school haven't come back yet.

The envelope was opened, and there was a piece of letter paper folded inside, which was the most common letter paper that could be seen everywhere.

Opening the letter paper, the beautiful handwriting was revealed.

[Wei Cheng:

After years, there is no return date.

I don't know how many spring evenings have passed, and the crabapple flowers at the door have also been defeated.

You and I are never destined, that's all.

The other side of the world, everyone is safe, you don't have to look for me again.

Li Juan's last pen]

The last letter Li Lijuan sent out before she died was simpler than expected.

Apart from Wei Cheng's name, there was almost no other information available in the letter, and the existence of twins was not even mentioned.

Could it be that before Li Lijuan died, she didn't want to tell her old lover that she had given birth to two sons for him, but simply drew a line?

Gu Mingdong glanced at it, and always felt that there was something weird about this letter, but he couldn't see it.

Wei Cheng?

This name is also very strange, and it is not easy to get to know Wu Mengting.

Maybe Wu Mengting would know about this person, but Gu Mingdong stopped asking her when he changed his mind.

Wu Mengting has too many little thoughts, and the more she contacts, the more troublesome she will be.

Li Lijuan never mentioned this person to the original owner.

Maybe there is a tacit understanding between Li Lijuan and this Wei Cheng that others don't know about. If this letter is really delivered to Wei Cheng, then the latter will understand it at a glance.

It's a pity that the last letter sent by Li Lijuan ended up in Wu Mengting's hands.

What Wu Mengting said at the time: "His family has gone abroad a long time ago, how could he receive this letter, so I opened it for him and took a look."

Gu Mingdong didn't really believe Wu Mengting's words, but he couldn't find any flaws.

It has been many years since Li Lijuan married into Shanghe Village. If this Wei Cheng is still here, how could there be no response?

Suddenly, Gu Mingdong raised his eyebrows slightly, and his eyes fell on the postmark on the envelope.

The must-write letter is a must-write letter, without an address, but the postmark of Xiyuan Town is clearly stamped on the letter envelope.

As long as you are willing, it is not difficult to find Shanghe Village. After all, Li Lijuan married from Daishan City and gave birth to a pair of twins.

You must know that after Wu Mengting arrived in Shanghe Village, she identified him on the first day, and obviously inquired about this news early.

Wu Mengting could find him by following the information, and so could others.

After thinking about it, Gu Mingdong put away the letter. In any case, with Li Lijuan's death, many truths are destined to be covered up.

But now, why did that man leave, and why there was no news, how many secrets and regrets there were between them, and what did it have to do with him?

At first he wanted to get this letter, but Gu Mingdong just wanted to know what message Li Lijuan left before his death.

When the sunset was ten minutes old, the tranquility of the old Gu's family was completely broken.

Gu Simei and the three children came back from school early, one after the other.

Before entering the door, Gu Liangxing's loud voice could be heard from far away, and he never had a quiet time.

This day was no exception. Gu Liangxing rushed into the house while making gestures: "Dad, I'm back."

Gu Simei followed into the door, with a helpless face on her face: "Ah Xing, can't you walk well? You have had nosebleeds during the day and are restless, and your nose will be broken again later."

"Nosebleed?" Gu Mingdong looked at his son.

Gu Liangxing touched his nose subconsciously, and said, "I got a nosebleed because of a bump."

"Come here and let me have a look." Gu Mingdong greeted.

Gu Liangxing moved over and said, "I'm fine, I've already called back."

Gu Mingdong pinched his chin and looked at him. Except for a little blood stain left on the outermost nostrils, he couldn't see anything else.

"what happened?"

Gu Liangxing hesitated and refused to speak.

Gu Yun who followed in also lowered her head, as if I was at fault.

Gu Liangchen also came in, carrying two book bags in his hand, and explained slowly: "Someone bullied Xiaoyun, so my elder brother started fighting with them, he beat three of them one by one, and got a nosebleed."

Gu Liangxing immediately became unhappy after hearing this: "That's why they sneaked up on me, and I still won in the end."

Completely forgetting that it was Gu Liangchen who couldn't stand to help in the end, the two brothers teamed up to win the battle.

The big brother usually looks like he is bluffing, but in fact, he is the younger brother who is powerful and measured.

Fighting among children in schools these days is not a big deal, and the teachers don't care about it. Unless there is a big problem, otherwise they just ignore it and let the children solve their own affairs.

Only then did Gu Simei realize that there was still such a thing, she frowned and said, "Our little Yun is so obedient, they still want to bully her, she should beat her."

Gu Mingdong glanced at Gu Yun who was bowing his head, and asked again: "Does this kind of thing happen often?"

Gu Yun made a gesture: [It's not my brother's fault, it's my fault. 】

Gu Liangchen explained: "Usually big brother and Xiao Yun are always together, they have no chance, today is big brother going to the toilet, so they took the opportunity."

"They pulled Xiaoyun's braid." Gu Liangxing said angrily.

Gu Mingdong saw that Gu Yun's braid was fine.

Gu Simei said angrily, "It's no wonder that Xiaoyun's braids are loose. I find it strange. She usually does well after school."

Compared to the two brothers, Gu Yun is simply a cute and cute little angel. She goes out in the morning and returns no matter what she dresses up in the morning, unlike Gu Liangxing who always rolls on the ground.

Gu Mingdong laughed, and patted Gu Liangxing on the head: "You know how to protect my sister, you did a good job."

"Of course, anyone who dares to bully Xiaoyun is against me." Gu Liangxing puffed out his small chest.

Gu Simei suppressed a smile: "Brother, don't encourage them anymore, the twins are almost invincible all over the school,"

Although there are a lot of brothers and sisters these days, the twins have learned a few tricks from Gu Mingdong. They eat well and are strong, and they are especially powerful when fighting.

When they were in Shanghe Village, their old Gu's family didn't have many children, but the twins never suffered.

"It's a good thing not to be bullied." Gu Mingdong said with a smile.

Gu Yun is dumb and an adopted girl. The twins belong to the Gu family, but they don't have a mother. Moreover, their grades are relatively young. If such children are not tough, they will be easily bullied at school.

Gu Mingdong practiced free-ranging, as long as he wasn't bullying the weak, it wasn't a big problem for boys to fight.

"Actually, it's not considered bullying... Probably because Xiaoyun is good-looking, they want to play with Xiaoyun." Gu Liangchen explained, "Brother doesn't allow other boys to play with Xiaoyun."

Gu Simei laughed as soon as she heard it: "So it's like this, my little Yun'er is the prettiest girl in the class."

She is quite proud. When Gu Yun first came here, she looked like a yellow and thin monkey, but now she is raised white and tender, which is very beautiful.

Gu Liangxing said, "Xiaoyun is my younger sister, and they are all bad kids, so Xiaoyun doesn't want to play with them."

Gu Yun nodded her head cooperatively.

Except for the twins, she usually only plays with a few good-tempered little girls at school, and doesn't want to play with brats.

Gu Mingdong felt that he was telling the truth. The little boy thought the little girl was pretty and wanted to play with her. The way the little boy played was probably to bully her vigorously.

Smiling, he patted the heads of the three children: "Xiaoyun is only playing if she is willing to play with them, if she is not, she is bullying, just hit them back."

All three children laughed.

Gu Simei shook her head helplessly, who would let their eldest brother protect his weaknesses the most.

Gu Mingdong asked again: "In the evening, I'll catch a few rice field eels and fry them for you to eat, so as not to keep nosebleeds in the future."

The earth recipe here in Shanghe Village, eating rice field eel can improve the condition of frequent nosebleeds.

Now their family can eat meat every now and then, but the eel is more filling and tastes good.

When the twins heard this, they hurriedly clamored to go together.

Coincidentally, Gu's second younger brother, Gu Sanmei, also came back at this time. As soon as Gu's second younger brother heard this, he yelled, "Going to catch eels at night? I'll go too."

Gu Mingdong asked strangely: "You won't drive the next day?"

"Recently, the transportation team has less work, so I won't drive tomorrow."

That being the case, Gu Mingdong would naturally not refuse.

Gu Liangxing also went to pull Gu Yun: "Sister Xiaoyun, do you want to go together? It's fun to catch eels."

Gu Yun hesitated.

Gu Sanmei hurriedly grabbed her: "Don't follow Xiaoyun, there are many mosquitoes at night, he is not afraid of being bitten like a preserved egg, you will not be bitten all over your head when you go there, besides, there are not only eels in the field, but also Poisonous snake, don't bite you then."

Hearing that there were still snakes, Gu Yun shook her head like a rattle, expressing her refusal.

Gu Liangxing shrugged: "Forget it, hey, girls are timid."

Gu Sanmei reached out and gave him a chestnut: "Sexist at such a young age, is it itchy? I'll let you see if girls are timid or not."

Gu Liangxing ran away: "Ah, ah, third aunt is going to beat someone."

That night, after the sky completely darkened, Gu Mingdong took them to catch eels.

In fact, when the seedlings are just growing, the eels are the best to catch. At this time, the eels are in their prime, not to mention active, they are still very fat and tender.

But it's not too late.

On summer nights, there is a cool breeze, and the fields are filled with the sounds of frogs and insects.

Gu Mingdong took the lead, and Gu Erdi was in charge of holding the only new flashlight in the family. This was bought by Gu Erdi when he went to the transportation team, because he often walked at night, and Gu Mingdong was afraid that it would be unsafe.

This is the secret weapon for catching eels, and the twins each carry a small bamboo basket.

The wind that blows from time to time caresses his cheeks, making him feel extraordinarily comfortable.

Gu Mingdong enjoyed it for a while, and reminded the people behind him: "Be careful where you step, don't step on the snake."

The second brother Gu felt that the cicadas in his ears were particularly annoying, so he said, "Monkeys can eat cicadas, let's catch them or not."

"Forget it, it's too troublesome and there's not much meat, and it's very laborious to catch." Gu Mingdong refused.

"Where's the frog?"

"We still have to rely on them to eat bugs, so we will catch eels today."

Soon, the four of them arrived at the edge of the field ridge.

"Hush!" Gu Mingdong gestured, and the four of them fell silent.

The second brother Gu held up the flashlight to shine into the water, and once he found traces of the rice field eel, he called his elder brother.

Gu Mingdong was in charge of catching the eel. His movements were extremely light but fast. Usually, the second brother Gu found a eel, and the eel fell into the hands of the eldest brother in the next second.

Hold it down, grab it, put it into the bamboo basket and cover it, all in one go.

"Caught another one!" Gu Liangxing suppressed his excitement and shouted.

Within an hour of going out, more than 20 eels fell into the bamboo basket behind the twins.

The originally empty bamboo basket suddenly became heavy.

Not only did the twins not feel tired, but they were very excited, and they dragged Gu Mingdong to the next field.

Occasionally, the four members of the old Gu family would meet other members of the club, and the big guys would stagger their places in a tacit understanding.

Although the eels in the fields are now the property of the public, whoever told them to bite the rice seedlings is a "pest", so as long as the rice seedlings are not trampled, it is still allowed to come out to catch the rice seedlings.

Of course, the captured eels can only be eaten at home, and you can give them away if you want to give them away, but private trading is absolutely not allowed, that is called speculation.

Going down the river to catch fish, shrimp and loach and eel is the most common thing for rural people who are short of meat.

Some have good water properties, and you can take a fish back after taking a bath and swimming.

The eel is not slippery, and it is difficult to catch it with bare hands. Other members of the commune do not have Gu Mingdong's good skills. It is good to have his one-hour results in one night, but they are not picky, and frogs are also one of their achievements.

As long as it is meat, if Gu Mingdong finds it bothersome, there will always be someone who will.

Gu Sanmei was worried that there were snakes in the field, but Gu Mingdong and the others actually met them, but in fact snakes are more timid than people, and they will swim away when they hear the sound from a distance.

As long as you don't provoke them, it's surprisingly safe.

Gu Erdi was not as peaceful as his two nephews, so he wandered around with a flashlight, almost stepping on the black snake lying on the grass to rest.

Gu Mingdong stretched out his hand and grabbed it: "Look at it."

Second Brother Gu flicked the flashlight, only in time to see the black-snake's tail.

With lingering fear in his heart, he patted his chest and said, "Fortunately, I didn't step on it."

Randomly thought about it and said: "Brother, the black-headed snake is also delicious. I heard that if you eat it, you won't get prickly heat. Shall we go and catch it back?"

"Isn't there enough rice field eels for you to eat?" Gu Mingdong was helpless. Although he was not poisonous, he was the second younger brother Gu who wanted to eat just after being startled.

But Gu Liangxing also asked: "Second Uncle, have you eaten it? Is it delicious?"

"Of course I..." The second brother Gu touched his nose and said, "Is it delicious or not? It was smashed."

Gu Liangxing laughed out loud after hearing this.

Gu Mingdong picked up the bamboo basket behind the twins: "Are you tired?"

Gu Liangchen said: "I'm not tired, Dad, I can hold on for a while."

Gu Mingdong simply continued to catch, intending to catch more at once, so that he could bring some to Gu Xiuxiu's house tomorrow, as there was no rice field eel to eat in the city.

The second brother Gu walked beside him, and suddenly said: "Hey, don't talk about rice field eels at that time, even the mice were caught completely, and those who have a stutter are good enough to fill their stomachs, and there is no way to pick and choose. "

He was talking about the famine years, the old Gu's family almost didn't get through it, and even the grass roots outside were almost dug out.

In the past few years, there have been more eels in the fields, but unfortunately, the dead can't come back.

On the contrary, Gu Mingdong didn't feel nostalgic, he just asked: "Is life not good now?"

"It's good, I don't want to live that kind of life again." Thinking of that time, Gu Erdi felt sore from hunger in his stomach.

Under the night, Gu Erdi's eyes seemed to be shining brightly.

Gu Mingdong laughed and patted his forehead: "Work hard, our family's life will definitely get better and better."

Second Brother Gu screamed, "Brother, you still slapped me with mud on your hands."

Gu Mingdong ignored him, and continued to bend down to find a big eel.

Even Gu Liangxing said with emotion: "I knew we should bring a big bamboo basket, but it will almost not fit in it."

Gu Mingdong shook the mud off his hands: "Go back when you're full."

When it comes to going back, the twins are a little bit reluctant to leave, and it is rare to go out to play with them at night, and they obviously haven't enjoyed themselves yet.

"Dad, let's catch it for a while longer." Gu Liangchen said eagerly.

Even the second brother Gu said: "It's still early, go back now?"

He also suggested: "How about I make a trip and dump the eel back first?"

Gu Mingdong looked at it, and simply said: "Don't make a trip, let's go, I will take you to a good place."

Facing the three pairs of big bright eyes, Gu Mingdong washed his hands in the nearby ditch, and led them to the foot of the mountain.

When approaching the foot of the mountain, the second brother Gu grabbed the eldest brother: "Brother, where are you taking us?"

Further on, it was the place where Liu Dazhu beat Lin Zhiqing to death. It was quite scary in the middle of the night.

"Wait." Gu Mingdong dropped a sentence and disappeared in twos and twos.

"Brother..." Second Brother Gu shouted in a suppressed voice, not daring to make a big noise.

The twins were young, so they didn't know how to be afraid, so they stretched their necks and waited.

After a while, Gu Mingdong came out from the mountain stream, holding a ball in his hand.

Second brother Gu didn't know what he thought of, his face turned pale with fright: "Brother, what did you take?"

Who knew that with a click, a strong watermelon smell wafted out.

"Watermelon?!" the twins cheered.

Gu Mingdong divided the watermelon into four pieces: "One piece for each person."

The twins cheered, put down the bamboo baskets, and were not picky, just sat on the grass and began to eat watermelon.

The second brother Gu took a bite in a daze, the sweet taste made him squint his eyes in enjoyment, and then remembered to ask: "Where did this watermelon come from?"

Watermelon is a commercial crop, and it is not allowed to plant it privately in the countryside.

Gu Mingdong replied lightly: "The one who secretly planted in the mountains is familiar with this one."

Not to mention, the taste of early-ripening watermelon is very good. It is very enjoyable to take a bite of this sweet taste in summer.

It's not in vain for him to spend this effort, although what Gu Mingdong did was to sprinkle watermelon seeds into the mountain stream to let them grow wildly, and when they are about to mature, they will be ripened with supernatural powers, and the taste will be first-class.

It was only at this time that Gu Mingdong realized the significance of the existence of supernatural powers.

Sensing the owner's small thoughts, the ability shook the leaf unhappily.

The watermelon that Gu Mingdong brought out could weigh nearly ten catties, and the four of them ate it separately, and each of them had a round stomach.

Gu Liangchen took a bite of the watermelon, looked up and said, "The watermelon grown by my father is very delicious."

Gu Mingdong smiled and took another piece for him: "You have never eaten watermelons from other houses, so how do you know that the ones grown by Dad are delicious?"

Gu Liangchen insisted: "I just think that everything my father grows is delicious, not just watermelon, even our vegetables are better than other people's."

Gu Liangxing couldn't lift his head up because of the food, he gnawed like a cockroach, and said vaguely in his mouth: "The one grown by Dad is the best, the most delicious."

Gu Erdi also agreed with this: "The tomatoes, eggplants, green beans and so on in our vegetable garden are indeed better than the third uncle's."

"If it tastes good, eat more." Gu Mingdong laughed.

Second brother Gu simply lay down on the grass: "Hey, comfortable!"

"Such a fairy day, no amount of money will be exchanged."

The twins imitated each other, and Gu Mingdong also lay down, the night sky was full of stars, with beauty in leisure.

Suddenly, Second Brother Gu patted his head and said, "It's broken, I didn't leave a mouthful for Third Sister and the others."

Gu Mingdong smiled and said: "No hurry, the remaining watermelon is slowly ripening, so let's secretly eat enough."

I had enough rest, this time no one mentioned the matter of continuing to catch eels, and the big hand held the small hand and went home to mention it.

The next day, when Gu Erdi and Gu Sanmei were at work, they took the rice field eel to Gu Xiuxiu's house.

Who knew that just a few eels would cause several troubles.
