Seventy Buddha Cannon Fodder

Chapter 252

The vicissitudes of life have changed, and the times have changed.

Gu Mingdong returned to the sapphire lake again, but this time, the surrounding lake water did not bring a sense of suffocation, but the amniotic fluid in his mother's belly, which made people feel extremely at ease and comfortable.

He lingers in it, unable to extricate himself, and even hopes to be like this for the rest of his life.

Too warm, too safe to leave, and not wanting to leave.

"You should go..." A voice came from across the lake, vaguely, as if separated by a membrane.

Gu Mingdong opened his eyes, but the water made his eyes blurred.

"who are you?"

The voice came again: "You should go back..."

Suddenly, Gu Mingdong realized who it was.

"is it you?"

"Son, you should go back."

Gu Mingdong stretched out his hand, trying to grab the person above the water: "Is it you?"

Just when his fingers were about to leave the water, a pair of hands pressed him back.

Those hands should have been slender and strong, but now they were only skin and bones, looking a little hideous, but they pressed him so gently under the lake.

Gu Mingdong didn't struggle, and let those hands press him under the lake.

Vaguely, he could clearly see that face. Mr. Gu was right, anyone with eyes could know the blood relationship between them.

Different from Mr. Bai's resemblance, they seem to be printed out of the same mold.

It's just that Gu Mingdong's body is young and strong, his skin is still elastic, and his body is full of vitality.

But the man in front of him was getting old, and he had spent so much time and energy that his eyes were sunken, and he knew he was about to die just by looking at him.

"sorry."

"Father is sorry for you."

"The selfishness involved you and made you bear all this."

Drops of water fell on the surface of the sapphire lake, and the ripples blurred his face, only the voice was still clear.

"Son, you are a real Bai family."

"Father, I will always be proud of you."

Gu Mingdong opened his mouth, father?

He is the father of Ah Xing and Ah Chen, as well as Xiao Yun's father, but he has never had a father, and has never experienced the so-called fatherly love.

At this moment, those thin hands were so gentle that he felt loved.

"Where are you?"

"You don't have to look for me anymore, I'm back where I should be."

The voice said slowly: "It's time to end all of this, child, and you should go back too."

"But……"

Gu Mingdong wanted to hold his hand, but those hands pushed hard, pushing him to the bottom of the lake.

"You are free, my child."

Gu Mingdong wanted to say something more, but his eyes were so tired, and he slowly fell into a deep sleep.

"dad?"

"Dad, are you awake, Dad?"

Calls sounded in his ears, and Gu Mingdong felt as if he had been doing physical labor for three days and three nights in a row, and every part of his body was clamoring for hard work.

It took a lot of effort before he slowly opened his eyelids.

"Dad, you're awake!" Gu Liangchen shouted in surprise.

Gu Mingdong wanted to speak, but found that his throat was hard.

"Drink some water first." Gu Liangchen hurriedly brought over a glass of water, warm water is better for moistening the throat.

Gu Mingdong took a few sips in a row before he recovered, "Is this a hospital?"

"City hospital." Gu Liangchen explained.

Seeing his father waking up, Gu Liangxing who was next to him couldn't help saying in succession: "Dad, you've woken up. You've been in a coma for half a month now, but it's driving us all into a panic."

Only then did Gu Mingdong realize that the eye sockets of his two sons were bright red, and it was obvious that he had been suffering a lot: "Half a month?"

"Yeah, it's been half a month since that day." Gu Liangxing nodded hastily.

Only then did Gu Mingdong understand why his body was so tired. How could he not be tired after lying upright on the bed for half a month? He also knew that he was unconscious, and his family must be in a hurry.

He struggled to remember, Gu Liangchen hurriedly said: "Dad, you just woke up, you should take a rest."

"Let me get up and move, my bones are rusted lying down."

When Gu Liangchen heard this, he helped him to sit up.

Gu Mingdong felt better after a bit of exercise, but his brain was still groggy, and his memory was still stuck in the impression of a life-and-death struggle.

"Tell me, what happened next?"

The twins looked at each other, but they didn't hide it.

"After you went up the mountain that day, Grandpa Zheng noticed something was wrong, so he called us to go up the mountain together to help."

"We bumped into a man at the foot of the mountain. We tied him up and called someone to take him to the police station before going up the mountain. We were delayed on the way."

"When we got there, there was thick fog everywhere, and we couldn't find where you were."

Gu Liangxing added: "Fortunately, Grandpa Zheng is here. They let us stand in a special position. We don't know the reason. Anyway, after doing that, the stars in the sky suddenly brightened a lot."

Gu Liangchen said, "Dad, we saw the star map that night."

"It's not the stars that we usually see, but the star map, right in front of our eyes, as if we can grasp it with our hands."

Gu Mingdong nodded, and asked again: "What happened next?"

Gu Liangxing scratched his hair, and smiled embarrassedly: "I passed out after that, and I didn't see anything."

Gu Mingdong couldn't help frowning: "Where is Mr. Zheng?"

"Grandpa Zheng is fine." Gu Liangchen explained, "I heard from the police that they searched for us in the mountains for a long time before finding us. Several of those grave robbers died, but most of them just lost blood."

"Tomb robbers?"

"Yeah, they were all caught. The police interrogated them all night before they found out that they were here to hunt for treasure. It wasn't grave robbery or something."

Gu Liangchen glanced at him and explained: "Comrade Public Security said that it is because there is miasma in the mountains over there. The temperature was low during the Chinese New Year, and the miasma was accumulated in that mountain stream, so that after the group of people went in, there was a miasma. Hallucination."

Gu Liangxing yelled: "Dad, don't you know that those people are crazy, and after waking up, they kept calling monsters and killing each other."

"The police have checked them all. The wounds on their bodies were all caused by their own people. They must have been hallucinated by the poison of the miasma, so they didn't dig up the treasure, but they killed each other."

Gu Mingdong didn't expect the police to explain it this way, but yes, it's hard to understand without such an explanation.

"In that group, there is a man named Wu Jie, and the other is the boss. How are these two people doing?"

Gu Liangchen said: "They were all taken away together. These two people were seriously injured. That Boss Du was dying at that time."

"He is so old. I heard that he is still a big boss in Xiangjiang. Why can't he think about digging treasures in the mountains? Isn't this crazy?"

"Where's Wu Laosan?" Gu Mingdong suddenly thought.

The faces of the two children were shocked.

Gu Mingdong frowned and said, "What happened to him?"

Gu Liangchen hesitated and said, "We haven't seen him."

"I heard from Wang Gong'an that when they found the place, the dense fog had cleared. We all fainted there, and many people were injured. It is said that the soil over there was dyed red."

"They hurriedly asked someone to carry him out to the hospital. At that time, Wu Laosan was in the crowd. He seemed to be fine, and he was not seriously injured."

"However, later the police said that Mr. Wu was extremely frightening. He would bite people when he saw them, and... he even sucked blood."

Gu Mingdong's heart skipped a beat: "What about others?"

"He was taken away. I heard that he was sent to a mental hospital."

"Dad, I think it's weird. We went to the mental hospital, but Mr. Wu is not there at all."

Gu Liangchen said in a low voice: "Uncle Wei sent people to investigate, and said that Wu Laosan was taken away soon after he was brought down from the mountain, and he didn't know where he was taken. Anyway, it was the power of the country. I dare not continue the investigation for fear of being discovered.”

Hearing this, Gu Mingdong heaved a sigh of relief: "That's fine."

It's good for someone to clean up the mess, otherwise Gu Mingdong really doesn't know what to do with Wu Laosan because of his dangerous nature.

And Gu Mingdong couldn't figure out why Wu Laosan had such a strange change when everyone else was fine.

Gu Liangxing also said: "Dad, Wang Gongan told me that we can't control this matter, and it's best not to say anything."

Gu Mingdong understood the hint in these words.

Gu Liangchen said with a smile: "The police station said it all. Dad, you heard a voice and thought someone was going up the mountain to poach before you went to see it. Who knew you would get miasma when you got there."

"The police also said that they would give us a certificate of merit. If it weren't for us, I don't know if this person would be caught."

Gu Mingdong also heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "I've been in a coma for so long, are you scared at home?"

"No, the third aunt and the fourth aunt cried several times, and the second uncle ran to the police station all day long, saying that he would watch the group of people be shot."

After Gu Mingdong woke up, he found that his body recovered quickly. He was a little worried about the ability, but soon, the heat from his chest told him that the ability was still there.

Xiaonianya is much weaker, even weaker than before, but as long as it is still there, Gu Mingdong will feel at ease.

Even if there is no supplementary Buddha bone, Gu Mingdong knows that when he returns to Shanghe Village, in that vibrant place, the power can be recovered slowly, but it will take longer.

Xiao Nianya sensed that the master was ready, and rubbed his heart coquettishly.

Knowing that Gu Mingdong woke up, the Gu family rushed over one after another.

Several people saw that Gu Mingdong could eat and sleep, his face was ruddy, and his eyes were reddened.

Gu Mingnan sat down angrily: "Brother, why didn't you call me when you heard the voice, if I were there and we would take care of you, I wouldn't let you take risks alone."

Gu Mingdong hurriedly comforted him: "I didn't think about it that much at the time, I thought it was just one or two poachers."

"That's not okay, you must call me if you have something to do in the future."

Gu Mingdong nodded and said: "Okay, okay, I will call you together."

Qian Xiaoru said next to him: "Brother, don't blame him. He has been very guilty these days, saying that he slept too much, but Mr. Zheng heard it, but he hasn't heard it yet."

Gu Mingdong felt guilty from the bottom of his heart, secretly thinking that his stubborn ass, apart from anything else, really cares about him.

"I can't blame you, I made it up on my own."

Gu Mingxi snorted coldly at the side: "It's not your own risk, big brother, you are not a policeman, why don't you find out what's going on and rush forward by yourself, if there is something wrong with you, let Ah Xing, Ah Chen, Xiaoyun What to do, let us do what."

Gu Mingbei didn't get angry, he just sat by the bed and wiped his tears silently.

Gu Mingdong had no choice but to swear: "I promise, in the future, if there is anything to do, we will hold a family meeting first, and notify you before taking action, okay?"

Anyway, after this time, Shanghe Village should be peaceful.

Gu Mingbei broke through his tears and smiled: "Brother, you said this, the man speaks for himself."

Gu Mingxi immediately said: "If you don't mean what you say, we will cry around you all day until you are tired of crying."

What Gu Mingdong could do was to bow his head to his younger brothers and sisters.

Not just the younger brothers and sisters, Gu Sanshu and Gu Xiuxiu came to see him and scolded him bloody.

Uncle Gu scolded with a cold face: "A Dong, A Dong, you usually look very stable, why did you do such a thing, do you think you are a master of martial arts?"

"You are so old, you still think you are a young man, this time it's just luck, it doesn't matter, what if there is an emergency next time, what will you do with the first group of children in your family?"

Gu Xiuxiu even repeated the old saying: "If you want me to tell you, you should listen to me and find a wife to take care of you, so that you don't really think of yourself as a young man."

Gu Mingdong was so frightened that he quickly promised.

When the police heard that he was awake, they also sent someone over to take a statement.

Gu Mingdong didn't hide anything, and told everything that happened that day.

As a result, Wang Gongan sighed and said, "Comrade A Dong, what you are talking about now is an illusion."

The little policeman next to him was still snickering: "What black fog, stars, how could this be real."

Old man An glared at his apprentice, and explained: "The miasma that night was so severe that you were all trapped when you entered the mountain, that's why you have these things in the hallucination."

He whispered: "Actually, the superiors also suspected it, and sent people to dig there for a long time, but there was no fart. The black mist of the bronze cauldron was simply imagined after you were poisoned."

Gu Mingdong asked curiously: "Really?"

"No, the ground has been dug three feet, and there is not even a tile."

"The group of tomb robbers are also miserable. They heard the rumors and thought there was a treasure there, but they were all buried in the miasma."

Now that the case has been closed, Gu Mingdong has nothing to do, he just asked: "Wang Gongan, then Wu Laosan..."

Seeing that there was no one around, old man An reminded: "Don't worry about this matter, you can't care about it."

"how?"

Old An and Gu Mingdong had some kind of friendship, and besides, he was the person involved, so after thinking about it, he revealed it.

"Do you know where that group came from?"

Gu Mingdong nodded and said, "The Xiangjiang side."

"It's not."

The old man snorted coldly, "But there is one thing you don't know. The owner's surname is Du, and he is the old landlord Du's family on our side many years ago."

"The missing daughter-in-law of Wang Mazi in your village, named Du Pingping, is said to be their daughter, and now she has gone to Xiangjiang."

Gu Mingdong naturally still had an impression of Du Pingping, and they had reached a deal at that time, but at that time, Gu Mingdong didn't know that there were so many secrets hidden behind the Du family.

The old Anan continued: "The superiors suspected that the Du family really hid treasures in the mountains, and sent people to search for it for a long time. They brought some metal detectors, but they didn't even find a fart."

"Anyway, the old man surnamed Du is dead now. The Xiangjiang side is special, and we can't contact the Du family for the time being."

"The people he brought here are either crazy or stupid, and a few who are not crazy or stupid will soon fail."

"That's why I said that the water here is very deep, and it's beyond your control."

Old Anan patted him on the shoulder and boasted, "It's good that you have the awareness to defend the country, but now that the burden has been handed over, you can relax."

Gu Mingdong nodded and said, "Wang Gongan, thank you for your reminder, I will remember."

"You don't mind me talking too much."

Wang Gongan quickly left with his confession, but obviously, even if Gu Mingdong told the truth, his confession would be regarded as a hallucination after being poisoned, and has no other value.

Gu Mingdong wanted to be discharged from the hospital the day he woke up. He felt that he was completely fine. After recovering his body strength, he even became more active with his abilities.

But how could the Gu family agree, they tried hard to persuade him to stay for a few more days, and he had to do a detailed examination before leaving the hospital, and the doctor agreed before he could leave.

Gu Mingdong only had one mouth, and he couldn't speak to so many people, so he had to stay for a few more days.

On the third day, no matter what they said, Gu Mingdong insisted on being discharged from the hospital.

After finally returning home, Gu Mingdong let out a big breath as soon as he entered the door: "It's still comfortable at home."

When he was in the hospital, everyone took care of him as a patient, which really made him very uncomfortable.

Gu Liangchen immediately said: "Dad, it's good that you know it, and don't do any more nonsense in the future."

"That's right, you said that once you come here, we are so worried, everyone can't eat well, and the whole family has shut down, so you can bear it?"

Gu Mingdong knew he was wrong, touched his nose and cursed: "Am I Lao Tzu or you are Lao Tzu? I can't stop nagging."

Zheng Tong came out to take a look, and said with a smile, "Yo, finally I agree with you to leave the hospital?"

Compared to Gu Mingdong, Zheng Tong's face was ruddy and full of energy, which made Gu Mingdong very envious.

Gu Mingdong said helplessly: "Worry about each other, I'm really fine."

"If you want me to say that you were born in the midst of blessings and don't know your blessings, hospitalization costs a lot of money. Your family, big and small, keeps letting you stay for a few more days. It's all about caring for you."

Otherwise, many old people in the production team are sick. In order to save money, the family members eat local recipes and don't even go to the hospital.

Gu Mingdong knew exactly this, so he acquiesced to the meaning of his son and younger siblings.

Back home, the sisters of the Gu family sharpened their knives and hustled at the chickens and ducks. They stewed chicken soup all day and served old ducks all day long. No matter how you look, you are young.

After finally making it to the start of school time and driving away a group of children, Gu Mingdong was considered free.

He moved a bench and sat at the door, and the four dogs lay at the owner's feet, as if they regretted that they didn't participate in the war that day. Now they are very clingy, and they will follow Gu Mingdong wherever he goes.

Gu Mingdong stretched out his legs and kicked, otherwise the back of his feet would be sweating.

Zheng Tong moved a chair and sat next to him: "If you want to know anything, just ask."

Gu Mingdong pondered: "What happened that day?"

Zheng Tong shook his head and said: "This old man is useless, he can't see through the secrets."

"Old man, don't be a fool, just talk about people."

Zheng Tong glared at him, and said: "The situation was urgent that day, and I thought that a big fight would be made, and maybe this old life would be thrown in. Who knew that Cheng Yaojin would be killed halfway."

"Ah Dong, there are gods in this mountain."

Gu Mingdong was even more confused: "What do you mean?"

Zheng Tong rolled his eyes: "Your ancestors accumulated virtue and left something for you to save your life."

Gu Mingdong thought of that scroll subconsciously. After waking up, Gu Mingdong asked people around him about the scroll, but neither the twins nor the police said they had seen it.

After the twins left, Gu Mingdong also searched in the old place, but found no trace.

The picture scroll seems to have completely disappeared.

"That day... vaguely, I seemed to see my father."

"Who?"

"The owner of that forest."

Zheng Tong pondered for a while, and only said: "It's a good thing to end."

"Yes, it's a good thing." Gu Mingdong sighed.

He stretched out his fingers and plucked the buds of the supernatural ability. After returning to Shanghe Village, the little guy recovered a little and started to jump around again.

It was the first time in half a year that Gu Mingdong found out about Mr. Bai's death.

The Fifth Sister has haggarded a lot. She has lost too much in her life, her parents, the lover she fell in love with, and the friends around her.

After finishing the funeral of Mr. Bai, Fifth Sister fell seriously ill. If Gu Wei hadn't come to visit temporarily, she might have died of illness in that small building.

After raising her for more than two months one after another, Fifth Sister's illness was considered cured.

She took old man Bai's urn to Shanghe Village.

"Adong, you may find it strange, but the last sentence the old man said before he died was that he wanted to go back to Shanghe Village and return the fallen leaves to their roots."

Fifth Sister was also puzzled in her heart, but she still wanted to do one last thing for Mr. Bai: "I know this is against the rules, but can you please help Zhou Xuan to accommodate him so that he can be buried here."

Gu Mingdong asked: "When did the old man leave?"

When he knew the day when old man Bai left, Gu Mingdong suddenly realized that he was able to survive that night unscathed, not only with the help of the mysterious father and the ancient scroll, but also with the help of old man Bai.

With mixed feelings in his heart for a moment, Gu Mingdong suddenly felt the magic of blood. The Bai family had gone so far, but finally returned to this place.

"Old Master Bai's last wish, I will help him fulfill it." Gu Mingdong knew in his heart that the Shanghe Village that the old man was talking about was not their village, but the place hidden deep in the mountain stream.

Fifth Sister breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly said: "One more thing, A Dong, the old man still has a granddaughter alive."

"Her name is Heimei, and she is actually in Shanghai..." Fifth Sister sighed, "It's a trick of good fortune. When people are alive, they can't find it no matter how hard they look. I didn't expect the old man to go away, so we met by chance."

"The child is not in good health, and looks crookedly sick. Fortunately, the person he married is not bad."

Gu Mingdong was also surprised: "Black girl? I know her."

When I mentioned it, I naturally felt a lot of emotion.

"It's good if you have met. Originally, I wanted to ask you if you wanted to meet. Since you know each other, I don't need to worry about it."

There was nothing serious about Mr. Bai's death. His relatives and friends all left before him, and they died willingly without any complaints. The only one who was worried was Fifth Sister.

Together with Fifth Sister, Gu Mingdong sent Old Master Bai up the mountain.

Before leaving, Fifth Sister said with a smile, "I'm going to go abroad soon, and now that my wish is over, it's meaningless to stay in China, but there are three or two relatives abroad, and I have taken care of them in the past."

Gu Mingdong only said: "Bon voyage."

The fifth sister was sent away on the front foot, and Zheng Tong's rehabilitation finally came down on the back foot. The old man spit every bite, and he would not leave if he said no, and all the returned things were handed over to his granddaughter.

In Zheng Tong's words: "The old man risked his life for you that night, you have to take care of me."

Gu Mingdong smiled and agreed.

Now that the event was over, his attention was focused on the mountain of contracting.

The torrent of the times rushed forward, and Shanghe Village also developed rapidly. Gu Sanshu led the bamboo weaving factory in the city. Under Gu Mingdong's advice, it became a feature of Xiyuan Town, flew out of Daishan City, and went to the whole world. .

Gu Mingdong contracted more and more mountains and forests, and gradually, all the nearby mountains and forests were included in his pocket.

Later, when someone mentioned Gu Mingdong, he had to say: King Baoshan.

Gu Mingdong doesn't care about these things, he only knows that the better the ecology of Shanghe Village, the more lush the fruit forests, the more lush the mountain forests, the more this little guy with supernatural powers will grow.

After all, what he planned with the little guy was only a bright future.
