Chapter 139 Malice
The little kids who felt that they had caused trouble at the foot of the mountain panicked, their faces were swollen into pig heads, and naturally they couldn't explain why the good honeycomb fell down.
At this moment, Gu Mingdong looked at the stone, but he had an answer in his heart.
This is a nest of bees that made their home in a tree hole. I don’t know if they have taken root here for a few years, and the hive is getting bigger and bigger, and part of it is exposed to the outside.
What fell to the ground at this moment was the exposed part of the honeycomb.
Because the queen bee is still in the original home, most of the bees have calmed down and returned to the tree hole.
Except for the buzzing bees that lost their hives, the mountain was so quiet that no one else seemed to exist.
But all of these are just appearances. If it is in a city where there are many people and the atmosphere is chaotic, it is still possible to hide it.
But now on the mountain, Gu Mingdong can't hide everything. It is no exaggeration to say that he is a god-like existence in the mountains and forests. No bird, insect, tree, or tree can escape his spiritual power, let alone bigger people. .
Qian Zhiyi thought he was hiding it very well, but he didn't know that all of this seemed to be clearly visible under Gu Mingdong's nose.
In his perception, under a bush not far away, a man lay dead on the ground, in a strange and distorted way, covered his head with his coat to avoid bee stings.
At this moment, there were still a few bees lying on Qian Zhiyi's back, they were stinging bravely, and the bee needles went directly through the clothes and pierced into the flesh.
The twins were only stung, and their faces were swollen like pigs' heads. One can imagine Qian Zhiyi's fate.
Qian Zhiyi was also able to bear it, and he bit his mouth tightly so as not to make a sound.
Gu Mingdong glanced at the beehive, and when he contacted back and forth, a cold light appeared in his eyes.
Before that, Gu Mingdong didn't think much of this pair of hero and heroine, and even hated Wu Mengting a little more compared to him, after all, she jumped up and down to show her presence in front of him.
Ever since Lin Aiguo's death, Wu Mengting seemed to have been frightened. Now when she meets him, she always bows her head and walks away, not daring to disturb him at all.
If they don't come out to play, Gu Mingdong is also happy and relaxed. He is too lazy to take care of them, let alone target them specifically.
Who would have thought that Qian Zhiyi usually kept silent and hid his hostility and dislike towards him very deeply, but he shamelessly attacked a group of children with such clumsy methods that people despised him.
Gu Mingdong looked in the direction where Qian Zhiyi was hiding, and narrowed his eyes.
After the incense burner incident, he was doomed to be in a hostile position with the Qian family. If Qian Zhiyi knew the inside story and confronted him head-on, Gu Mingdong would respect him as a man.
But he usually pretends to be pretending, and when it comes to tripping the children.
What kind of skill is bullying children!
Gu Mingdong sneered, flicked his fingertips, the bees around him suddenly stopped for a moment, and the next moment they swept towards Qian Zhiyi quickly.
The needle that stung the child must be returned to him a hundred times and a thousand times!Let him know what it means to reap the consequences of oneself.
"Hmm!" Qian Zhiyi lay dead in the bushes, thinking that he must not be found, otherwise the explanation would not be clear.
He didn't know what happened just now, the more he looked at the twins of the Gu family, the more he hated them, and when he recovered, he threw a stone.
After doing everything, Qian Zhiyi didn't regret it. Hearing the children's screams made him feel much happier.
As long as the members of the old Gu's family are unlucky, Qian Zhiyi's heart will be secretly happy, as if the more unlucky their family is, the smoother he will be.
Even after being stung by bees a few times, Qian Zhiyi felt it was worth it.
As long as Gu Mingdong leaves, he can slowly descend the mountain without anyone noticing, and no one will know that he did it.
The abacus beads in Qian Zhiyi's heart were beating loudly, and when he heard Gu Mingdong's footsteps leaving, he couldn't restrain the smile at the corner of his mouth.
Qian Zhiyi carefully pulled off his clothes until he could no longer hear footsteps, planning to get up and go down the mountain.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, Qian Zhiyi let out a scream, and saw countless bees surrounding him, swarming up the moment he pulled off his clothes.
The screams coming from behind made Gu Mingdong's footsteps more brisk.
He carried the half-sized beehive and walked down the mountain, and soon saw a group of pig-headed cubs.
"Honeycomb!" Gu Liangxing exclaimed in surprise.
Gu Liangchen looked at his father worriedly: "Dad, have you been stung?"
"Don't worry, I didn't get stung." Gu Mingdong looked at the elder son of Shou Xinggong and the younger son of Pinocchio, feeling both funny and pitiful for a moment.
He reached out and touched the little heads of the two children: "Let's go, go home and treat your wounds first, and then share the honey."
After speaking, he looked at the other three children and said, "Come along, too."
So the five children returned to Lao Gu's house together.
"What's wrong?" Gu Simei was stunned when she saw their miserable appearance.
Gu Yun walked around the twins even more worriedly, looking at their wounds with distress.
"The trickster on the mountain was stung by a bee." Gu Mingdong explained.
Gu Simei looked helpless, stared at her eldest nephew and asked, "Gu Liangxing, is it your idea?"
Gu Liangxing said aggrievedly: "I didn't expect this to happen either."
After washing his hands, Gu Mingdong carefully inspected the children's wounds, and found that several wounds had been stung so deeply that they couldn't be squeezed out with his hands, so he had to find sewing needles.
First pick out the poisonous needles in the skin of several children, then pour soapy water, let several children stand in a row at the door to wash the wounds, the bees after autumn are also poisonous, but the alkaline substance in the soap can neutralize the bee venom acidic.
Fortunately, these bees are the most common wild bees, neither wasps nor poisonous bees, otherwise one injection would be enough for these children.
As for the local methods of smearing honey and killing bees, it has no other effect except psychological comfort.
Gu Liangchen immersed his head in the soapy water, and after a while he raised his head and asked, "Dad, are you alright?"
Gu Mingdong pressed his birthday star's forehead, and said against his will: "It's a little bit better."
Gu Liangchen touched his swollen nose, and said with a bitter face, "My nose still hurts."
"I feel pain too."
"My back hurts."
"My leg hurts."
The unluckiest child, who had been stung five or six times, all on the back, was now moaning and sniffling.
Seeing his unlucky face, Gu Simei felt sympathetic, and stretched out her hand to help him brush soapy water on his back. The child grinned and persisted, trying not to cry, but the snot bubbles came down.
Gu Mingdong saw that this was not an option, so he turned around and went into the backyard. When he came out again, he was holding a few mints in his hand. With the blessing of supernatural powers, the mint leaves in this season were already green and very tender. After crushing, they exude a refreshing the taste of.
In summer, Gu Mingdong occasionally picks some mint and soaks it in water to drink. The unique fragrance can refresh people's mouth all day long, and the effect is evident.
After being mashed now, the taste will be more intense, and the effect must be very good.
Gu Mingdong beckoned and spread mint leaf mud on them one by one.
"Don't rush to wash it off, just apply it for a while."
Gu Liangxing touched his forehead and said, "It's so cold, but it's a little prickly."
After finishing speaking, he stretched out the corner of his mouth and licked it, and was made pee pee pee by the special taste.
Gu Mingdong patted his son on the head angrily: "Have you learned a lesson this time, will you dare to do it again in the future?"
Being so alive and kicking, it can be seen that there is no major problem. With his forehead swollen like this, Gu Mingdong was afraid that his son would be stung by a bee.
Gu Liangxing sniffed, and said aggrievedly: "I didn't know that the honeycombs would fall off as soon as they said they would. I originally wanted to go up the mountain to dig out honey after Dad finished his work."
The other children also complained.
However, Liu Xiaozhu didn't dare to speak. He knew his own family affairs in his heart. The elder brother who died before was at odds with Gu Mingdong, but now he stood timidly at the end, fearing that Uncle Adong wouldn't like him and wouldn't let the twins play with him.
Gu Mingdong knew who the culprit was, so he didn't teach the child a lesson. Instead, he found a bowl and split the honeycomb into five equal parts. Each of the five children would have a share, and no one would suffer.
"Eat it, this is the honey you exchanged for your injuries." He teased.
Gu Liangxing scooped up a spoonful with his finger, put it in his mouth and licked it, his squinted eyes were squinted: "It's delicious."
It wasn't enough for him to eat by himself, so he dragged Gu Yun to eat: "Sister Xiaoyun, you eat too, honey is so sweet."
Gu Yun was stuffed by him, and the sweet taste immediately made her smile.
Gu Liangchen was much more refined. He divided his bowl into several pieces: "One piece for me, one piece for father, one piece for fourth aunt, and one piece for second uncle and third aunt."
When Gu Liangxing heard this, he began to follow suit.
Gu Mingdong smiled and patted the head of his filial son, and looked at the other three children who did not dare to stand still.
He knew Liu Xiaozhu, and he also had impressions of the other two. One was Li Xiaohu, the youngest son of Li Tiezhu, and the other was Zhang Xiaobao.
Li Xiaohu is very similar to his own father Li Tiezhu, he looks tiger-headed and tiger-headed. He is obviously very greedy at the moment, but he resists not being catchy.
Zhang Xiaobao sucked his fingers even more, but he didn't dare.
Gu Mingdong raised his eyebrows, secretly thinking that in the eyes of the children of the production team, he might be a tiger.
"Why are you standing still, eat quickly."
"Can we really eat it?" Li Xiaohu asked boldly.
Gu Liangxing was very happy to eat bite by bite. Hearing this, he asked, "Why not?"
Gu Simei smiled and handed each of them a spoon: "Eat with a spoon, not with your fingers, it's dirty."
Li Xiaohu just dug a large spoonful and stuffed it into his mouth, and swallowed it, the sweet taste made the child squint his eyes.
Zhang Xiaobao took a mouthful imitating the example, and said with all his mouth: "It's so delicious, so sweet."
For the children of the production team, candy is something that can only be eaten during the New Year and holidays. Usually, only when they are sick can they drink a bowl of brown sugar water. Honey is naturally even more rare.
Liu Xiaozhu also took a sip carefully, it was so sweet that he couldn't help but licked the corner of his mouth, and refused to pull it off at all.
Soon, Liu Xiaozhu stopped talking, raised his head and asked cautiously: "Uncle Adong, can I take it home to eat?"
Probably because he was afraid that Gu Mingdong would not agree, he said in a low voice: "I want to share with my sister."
Gu Mingdong saw that he lowered his head, looking embarrassed, but smiled a little: "Of course, it's yours to share with you, and you can deal with it as you want."
Liu Xiaozhu hugged the bowl, pursed his lips and promised: "I will return the bowl right away."
After finishing speaking, holding the bowl carefully, Sa Yazi ran towards the house next door.
Gu Simei took a look, and said with a smile: "Aihua didn't love this little brother in vain. If there is something delicious, you will know that you miss her."
Li Xiaohu and Zhang Xiaobao bit their spoons and said, "Uncle Adong, can we take it back too?"
"It's all right." Gu Mingdong smiled.
So the two children got together and went back with their bowls in their hands.
"Don't drop my bowl, return it early, or I won't have any bowl to eat." Gu Liangxing reminded.
"Yes." The two children replied.
Even Gu Simei couldn't help laughing and said: "Our Xing and Achen are filial, and even the little friends who play with them know that they love the family."
Gu Liangxing raised his head proudly: "That's right, I don't bring bad kids to play with."
"Dad, take a bite." Gu Liangchen held up the spoon and handed it to Gu Mingdong's mouth.
Gu Mingdong lowered his head and took a sip. The taste of wild honey was full, not as sweet as those semi-finished products of later generations, and it had a special taste.
But being stuffed by his son, Gu Mingdong shook his head and refused: "You can eat it yourself, Dad doesn't like sweets."
"Dad, you don't even like sweets that are so delicious, you're so strange." Gu Liangxing said with a smile.
At the end, he asked again: "Are you like what the teacher said, pretending that you don't like it so that we can eat more?"
Gu Simei was overjoyed to hear that, she didn't know anything else, but his eldest brother definitely didn't have such a personality.
Gu Mingdong really didn't like too sweet food, so when he heard this, he smiled and knocked on his son's head: "You talk a lot, take a snapshot of your own forehead, and I am ashamed to say that your father is strange to me."
Hearing this, Gu Liangxing was really slumped, and even the honey didn't smell good.
Gu Yun gestured at the side and said: [The brain is not ugly, and it is very blessed. 】
"See, dad doesn't like it, but little sister Xiaoyun likes it." Gu Liangxing took a look, and immediately started to shriek again.
Gu Mingdong can't laugh or cry, he looks like a birthday boy, can he not be happy?
Gu Liangchen put it away after taking a few mouthfuls, and said, "Fourth Gu, help me put it on the top of the cabinet, so as not to be eaten by ants. When Second Uncle and the others come back, we can drink honey water."
"Put mine together too." Gu Liangxing said, and there was nothing left that should have been kept.
Liu Xiaozhu ran home with the porcelain bowl in his arms, and before he entered the door, he saw Widow Liu sitting in the hall with a sad face, choosing wild vegetables. Liu Xiaozhu stopped, stooped like a wild cat, and sneaked into the backyard.
He quietly slipped in through the back door. The back door of the old Liu's house was connected to the kitchen. As soon as Liu Xiaozhu entered, he saw his sister who was busy in the kitchen.
Seeing his mysterious posture, Liu Aihua subconsciously asked, "What are you doing, are you a thief?"
"Shhh!" Liu Xiaozhu said with suppressed excitement on his face, holding a bowl, "Sister, look what this is!"
Liu Aihua looked down and asked in surprise, "Honey?"
"Where did it come from?"
"Gu Liangxing took us up the mountain to dig out the eggs, and it turned out..." Liu Xiaozhu recounted what happened on the mountain, and then said, "Sister, hurry up and taste whether it's sweet or not."
When she heard that her younger brother was stung by a bee, Liu Aihua hurriedly checked and found that the redness and swelling of the wound had begun to fade before she breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't be so naughty in the future. Fortunately, it was a bee today. If it was a wasp, it would kill someone."
Liu Xiaozhu said with a smile: "Uncle Adong wiped it off with soapy water, the soap smells so good, I still smell good now."
Liu Aihua lowered her head and smelled it, and indeed she smelled a smell of soap, which made her completely relieved.
In fact, she knew from the bottom of her heart that in the production team now, except for the twins who did not dislike Liu Xiaozhu, the children of other families were not willing to play with him. Who made them have a big brother who was a mentally ill murderer.
"Sister, you should eat quickly."
Liu Aihua lowered her head, and she could see her brother's happy and caring eyes. She also forgot about those troubles, and she was in a good mood. She smiled and lowered her head to take a sip: "It's so sweet."
"That's right, I also think it's so sweet and delicious, it's as delicious as the candy in Chinese New Year." Liu Xiaozhu said with a smile, "Sister, you can eat again. I've already eaten it. I'll give you all of these."
In fact, after Liu Dazhu's death, their life was much easier. They could live at home and have enough food in the middle of the year, but Widow Liu was used to being stingy. Apart from the dead elder brother, they also stingy the remaining two children. Pick and search, never let them eat more.
Wang Mazi was thinking about his son, but he had no money, and there would be enough food, so even if he felt distressed, it would be very limited.
Liu Aihua smiled and touched her younger brother's head: "Sister doesn't like sweets, you can eat."
"There is no one who doesn't like sweets. If my sister doesn't eat it, then I won't either." Liu Xiaozhu said with a stern face.
At this moment, Liu Aihua suddenly felt that all these years of hard work had paid off. The two of them ate half a bowl of honey one bite at a time, not even willing to spit out the bad taste. The sweet taste was refreshing.
The two children just sat by the back door without mentioning the mother who folded vegetables in front.
On the other side, Li Xiaohu and Zhang Xiaobao returned home holding honey, which also attracted yelling from their parents.
The little boy who is the most protective of food on weekdays, he remembered to take honey home for them to eat when he got honey.
Li Tiezhu cheerfully slapped his son on the back of the head: "The brat has grown up, is filial, and knows how to miss your parents."
After all, you can tell by seeing his mouth that can't be closed, he is happy from the bottom of his heart.
"What are you doing? If you didn't see the child, you'd have to slap it on the ground." Qian Jinhua glared at her husband, and rarely hugged the child kindly and kissed her.
"Our little tiger is a filial child. Parents don't like sweets. You can eat them."
But Li Xiaohu said: "You two must be lying. Gu Liangchen said that adults will always pretend not to like food, don't want to eat, and leave delicious food for children."
After finishing speaking, he put the bowl on the table: "I've eaten it all, you keep it for eating."
Seeing his stinky fart, Li Tiezhu and his wife were overjoyed.
At the end of the day, the couple tasted it, and the sweet taste was so sweet that it reached the bottom of their hearts. At night, they made honey water with honey, and the whole family tasted it.
Qian Jinhua felt that although the twins of the old Gu family had no mothers, they were brought up slowly and were more sensible than ordinary children.
She believed in her heart that her child would play well with the twins, and when she returned the bowl, she generously put two eggs in it.
How could Gu Simei accept this? The two of them pushed back and forth, but in the end Gu Mingdong couldn't stand it anymore and asked Gu Simei to keep the eggs, but he picked a big pumpkin from the backyard for her.
After a while, Zhang Xiaobao's mother came to return the bowl, and also put a few tomatoes in the bowl. Gu Simei gave her back a small pumpkin this time without reminding her.
Even when Liu Aihua brought cucumbers, Gu Simei stuffed them with a bagful of tomatoes and asked her to take them back to share.
Qian Jinhua went back with a big pumpkin, and said to Li Tiezhu: "There are people in the production team who say that A Dong is unreasonable, and even beat his own uncle. I see that there is no more generous person in the entire production team than him. "
Li Tiezhu sneered and said: "Those words are not from the old Liu family."
"Hmph, what's the use of a few gossips, the captain is doing practical things, and I don't believe anyone dares him if he can feed the big guys."
After hearing this, Li Tiezhu also said: "The autumn harvest is about to start. How much grain can you say this time? Will our family be able to eat white rice this year?"
Not only Li Tiezhu was looking forward to it so much, but everyone else in the production team was looking forward to this day.
In the joyous and lively atmosphere, no one noticed that Qian Zhiqing asked for leave again.
On the contrary, when Gu Jianguo saw Wu Mengting coming to help him ask for leave, he said that Qian Zhi had a leg injury and went to the county seat again, and he was immediately furious. He had never seen such a man, and whenever he encountered work, he would find excuses to be lazy. .
No one believed that Qian Zhiyi was really injured. After all, his leg had been healed for a long time, so it couldn't really affect his work.
Little did he know that Qian Zhiyi also complained endlessly, he was not like those children, the most he was stung five times.
Under Gu Mingdong's instigation, the bee stinged him, the culprit who destroyed the hive, and took revenge.
Qian Zhiyi was in severe pain all over his body. Although it was not fatal, it was not pleasant either.
He didn't know how he insisted on climbing down the mountain. How could he dare to be spotted by the production team with this ghostly appearance, otherwise they would know the problem of beehives as soon as they thought about it.
Qian Zhiyi had a ghost in his heart, so he naturally thought of a way to fool him, so he had to find an excuse to go to the county seat. The bee tail needles all over his body really needed to be dealt with properly.
Gu Jianguo made up his mind and decided to wait for Qian Zhiqing to come back and tell him directly that he would not work, and this time he would not be able to get any more food.
After all, why are the members of the commune working so hard to get the educated youth from outside for nothing.
We must know that in previous years, when the harvest was rushed, it was the time when the members of the production team were the most tired and most afraid. They had to do heavy physical work if they were not full, and several of them would fall down every year.
But this year, as the rice turns from green to yellow, the golden color does not make people afraid, but it makes people feel happy.
Gu Jianguo insisted that the decision to distribute grain after the first round of summer harvest was correct. With so much grain thrown down, even the most stingy people would be willing to eat a few full meals.
When people are full, their spirits rise immediately, and they are full of energy to work.
When the autumn harvest began, Gu Mingdong stood in the field and looked around, and he could find that the members of the production team in Shanghe Village were no longer the thin and emaciated appearance of the previous two years.
Their faces became rosy. Although they were not fat because of the hard work, they all had muscles on their bodies, and they felt strong instead of yellow and thin.
Even the four-person group that was sent down to the lower levels received more food because of their "merit", and they no longer had the posture of being able to run when the wind blows.
Gu Mingdong also had a smile in his eyes. Compared to the lifeless and complaining production team, he still prefers a vibrant world.
He bent down and harvested crops of rice.
What reassures the members is that the rice of this round of late rice is as full as the early rice.
The twins followed Gu Mingdong's buttocks to help bind the rice. They were young, but they were very proficient in doing this. The speed of the two together was no worse than that of an adult.
Gu Yun carried a small basket and followed them to pick up ears of rice. She was careful and never missed a grain of edible millet.
Suddenly, a gray shadow flashed across the rice field.
Before the twins could react, they saw their father striding forward, faster than the gray shadow.
