I survive in the weird Liaozhai
Chapter 44: Girl, do you want to tell your fortune?
Miao Xiaohua was pulled out of the hall by Gu Nian'an, feeling somewhat bewildered. She also had no idea what Brother Gu had just said.
"Brother Gu, where are you taking Miss Ruyue and me? My clothes are not dry yet."
"Go find some clean clothes, they'll be useful later."
He could already vaguely hear the sound of the knife cutting into flesh, and his pace couldn't help but quicken.
Suddenly a shrill howl was heard in the hall.
Hearing the voice, Miao Xiaohua instinctively stopped and wanted to turn around and look back.
Gu Nian'an increased the force of pulling the little girl, almost causing her to stagger.
"Don't worry too much. The robbers are tied up very tightly. Nothing will happen. Don't worry about what's going on in the hall. Someone will take care of it. Just do what you need to do."
His tone was low and eerie, and the little girl felt a little uncomfortable.
Song Ruyue, who was standing on the other side of Gu Nian'an, lowered her head silently.
She could imagine what would happen in the hall.
She didn't say anything about this matter, but the wicked should be punished for doing bad things.
After hearing Gu Nian'an's explanation, Miao Xiaohua felt it made sense. The bandits were tied up, and she did it herself, so there shouldn't be any danger.
After figuring out the situation, the little girl no longer paid attention to the screams behind her and simply followed Gu Nian'an to the backyard.
As he walked, he looked at the boy next to him curiously. After thinking for a moment, he decided to ask him.
"Brother Gu, what's wrong with your eyes? Why are they closed?"
Hearing the little girl's question, Gu Nian'an paused.
"My eyes are fine. My eye color is different from that of ordinary people. Most people might have bad associations when they see them, so it would be less troublesome if I close them."
"No, I think the color of Brother Gu's eyes is very beautiful."
Ah!
Only a young and innocent girl like this would find it beautiful.
If ordinary people saw this, there might be some trouble.
"By the way, you probably have relatives who died at the hands of bandits. Have you ever thought about revenge?"
In fact, Gu Nian'an has always wanted to ask this question, but he has never found the right opportunity.
"Well, my second uncle and cousin were killed by them, but my second uncle and the others... they never liked me very much, so... so... so..."
"But Brother Gu killed them all. He helped me avenge my second uncle and the others."
When the little girl said this, her eyes turned slightly red and she looked a little depressed.
"Your parents, didn't they flee with you?"
Hearing Gu Nian'an's question, the little girl lowered her head silently.
"My parents died very early, and I grew up in my second uncle's house."
I understand. He has a rough idea of what happened. The little girl's parents must have had some problems and passed away early.
So she stayed at her second uncle's house, but her second uncle, including her second uncle's family, probably didn't treat the girl very well, so their relationship was not deep.
The little girl recovered from her sadness in just a moment without any comfort.
After she got better, she chattered non-stop along the way, but Gu Nian'an didn't feel annoyed, because her junior sister used to be like that.
When they arrived at the backyard, he asked the little girl and Song Ruyue to find some clothes, both for men and women, as long as they could keep out the cold.
He needs to boil some hot water, which should be useful later.
Since there was no container large enough, he simply dismantled the two large pots the bandits used for cooking. Since they wouldn't be able to use them in the future anyway, he just recycled them.
In the open space in the backyard, Gu Nian'an set up two large pots filled with water and slowly started to boil them. Looking at the gradually boiling hot water, Gu Nian'an fell into deep thought, as if he had forgotten something.
Suddenly Gu Nian'an clapped his hands.
Oh, now I remember, the bandit who led the way should still be in the hall. How could I have forgotten about him for a moment.
But, he himself said that he had never done anything evil.
If it was really as he said, I think those poor women would not do anything excessive to him.
The hot water has boiled and a lot of clothes have been prepared. Looking at the sky gradually getting darker, Gu Nian'an feels that the time is about right.
So he decided to go to the hall to check out the situation first.
When he walked to the entrance of the hall and just pushed open the main door, a strong smell of blood hit him in the face, which stimulated him and made him frown.
I opened my eyes a little, and saw all over the ground were broken limbs and pieces of flesh, not even a single intact piece could be found.
Gu Nian'an walked to the last piece of body, looked at his eyes which seemed to be open in death, and couldn't help but sigh.
Alas! It seems that he still deceived himself. He was chopped to pieces so badly that even his mother couldn't recognize him, and he still dared to say that he didn't do anything evil.
Gu Nian'an squatted down and gently helped him close his eyes. It seems that you will not have the chance to be a good person in this life. Try not to do evil in the next life and be a good person.
When the women saw that the person who came in was Gu Nian'an, they didn't care about the filth on the ground and knelt on the ground and sobbed quietly.
Seeing this scene, Gu Nian'an actually felt a little guilty. He was largely responsible for the fact that they had fallen into this situation.
So I will try my best to arrange the work in Shanwei, just as a small compensation.
"Have you vented enough? If not, I'll come back in half an hour.
If that's enough, I've prepared clothes and hot water in the backyard, go take a shower, change clothes, have a good sleep, and we'll talk about it tomorrow."
Hearing this, several women kneeling on the ground raised their heads, looked at him with tears on their faces, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Seeing this, Gu Nian'an quickly waved his hand to stop
“Don’t talk too much, don’t think too much, life is very precious, don’t give up easily, as long as you are alive there is hope, and only when you are alive can you experience the beauty of this world.
But if you insist on dying, I won't stop you. But you must think carefully before doing anything. I hope you can live with your loved ones, instead of cowardly choosing death.
I have said what should and should not be said, and the rest is up to you to choose."
After waiting for a while, the women kneeling on the ground raised their heads, their eyes became brighter, and then they supported each other and slowly walked out of the hall.
Only after hearing the sound of everyone leaving did Gu Nian'an open his eyes completely.
Oh! It's really hard for him to talk about such a big thing.
Thinking back, I almost jumped off a cliff to follow my master and junior sisters away.
I don't know how many people can be fooled by such a truth that he himself doesn't believe in.
Alas! I just hope that after revenge, they can have a little more will to survive.
After looking at the messy hall, he slowly walked out. It would not work today. If he set a fire, the whole village might be burned down.
Let's wait until tomorrow. When they leave, I will give these bandits a splendid cremation.
As night fell, Gu Nian sat quietly at the gate of the village. He brought a stool, a table and several braziers from the village. He had something he wanted to write down.
But the memory was a little distant and he needed to think it over carefully. After thinking for a moment, he lay down on the table and began to write furiously.
He found the brushes and paper in a relatively bright room. In addition, he also found a lot of jewelry and silver, but the exact amount was not clear.
But it should be a huge amount of several thousand taels. These things are of no use to him. It is enough to have enough money, and there is no need to be too extravagant.
At this moment, a beautiful figure in a white dress walked silently behind him without disturbing the young man who was writing furiously.
Gu Nian'an stopped writing only when the paper was almost completely filled, and then read it carefully from beginning to end.
After finding no mistakes, he placed a silver ingot on the paper to prevent it from being blown away by the night wind.
After finishing the task at hand, Gu Nian'an slowly stood up and turned around, staring at the figure in front of him with his golden and silver eyes, and asked with a smile:
"Girl, do you want to have your fortune told?"
