Era: The naive beauty charmed the villain!

Chapter 175 Gold Bars and Jade Bracelets

Because the matter was quite complicated, it was already late at night when Gu Qingsong returned from town.

Gu Qingsong rode his old bicycle, winding along the mountain road towards the direction of the forward brigade.

When we were about to arrive, we didn't rush into the village, but turned to the back mountain halfway.

When the family tragedy struck, everything was in chaos.

When Gu Qingsong's father and grandmother passed away, they were not allowed to be buried or have graves erected. They were simply wrapped in straw mats and thrown into the back mountain.

Although Gu Qingsong was still young at that time, precisely because of his young age, others were not very wary of him, and relatively speaking, he was not strictly watched.

He was mischievous from a young age and, despite his family's objections, always loved to run to the back mountain.

Having spent many years running and playing in the back mountain, Gu Qingsong gradually became very familiar with the paths there.

He could describe every path, grove, and corner in detail, as if he knew them by heart.

They even knew the locations of some hidden caves on the back mountain like the back of their heads.

After things calmed down a bit, Gu Qingsong secretly went into the mountains alone, without telling anyone, in an attempt to find his father's and grandmother's remains and bury them.

Unfortunately, there are wild beasts roaming in the mountains here.

Several days passed, and by the time Gu Qingsong arrived, his father and grandmother had already been eaten by wild beasts.

Gu Qingsong searched secretly for a long time, but only found a skull and one of his grandmother's embroidered shoes.

Finally, Gu Qingsong carefully placed the shoes and skull together, along with some scattered pieces of clothing he had collected in the forest, and buried them together in his secret base.

In a narrow cavity beneath the roots of a large tree on the edge of a cliff.

After Grandpa Gu died, he took out the gold bars that Grandpa Gu had hidden and buried them with his father and grandmother.

Gu Qingsong is leaving this time and probably won't be back anytime soon.

Moreover, when you go to a new city, you bring a large group of brothers with you, and you need money for food and other expenses.

Gu Qingsong decided to take some of the gold bars with him as reserve funds.

The moonlight wasn't very bright tonight; it was mostly obscured by dark clouds, making it look like it was about to rain.

Gu Qingsong, using the faint moonlight, arrived at the edge of the cliff.

Because he was afraid of being discovered, he rarely came here over the years and did not dare to erect a tombstone for his family here.

More than ten years have passed, and now the area is overgrown with weeds, with no trace of the burial being visible at all.

Gu Qingsong knelt down, slowly bent over, and respectfully kowtowed three times to the burial site of his father and grandmother.

His forehead made intimate contact with the cold ground, producing a crisp sound, each kowtow carrying a deep sense of longing.

Gu Qingsong's grandfather was a typical feudal patriarch who was always very strict at home.

When he was a child, his gentle father and loving grandmother were the ones who loved him the most in the family.

He still remembers the feeling of his father's warm, large hand holding his small hand as he first started learning to write when he was a child.

Grandma watched from the side, praising him for being smart and writing well, and telling him to study hard so he could become a high-ranking official when he grew up.

As a result of a sudden change, he no longer had the opportunity to study properly, and he also lost all his family members who loved him.

Gu Qingsong took a deep breath and began to softly recount the details of his life over the years.

In particular, he recounted every detail and feeling about his life with Lin An'an, as if he wanted his deceased loved ones to personally experience all the beauty he had gone through.

In the quiet night, Gu Qingsong's words, like a gentle breeze, drifted through the air, conveying his longing for his deceased loved ones and his hopes for the future.

In fact, Gu Qingsong is a materialist; he doesn't really believe in the existence of a soul after death.

But after saying all that, he felt a sense of relief, as if he had received a kind of comfort from afar.

At this moment, all around was quiet. A gust of wind blew by, and the leaves rustled. Gu Qingsong took a deep look at the burial site of his father and grandmother, then got up and went forward to dig.

Back then, Gu Qingsong was young, and even if he tried his best to bury the gold deeper, he didn't have the strength or the time.

The deep pit that was painstakingly dug back then can now be dug open in no time by the adult Gu Qingsong.

Before long, they saw the wooden box used to hold the gold.

The box used to hold the gold was made of very good materials, and even after being buried underground for so many years, it shows little sign of corrosion.

Gu Qingsong picked up the box and opened the lid.

Inside, twenty gold bars and several pieces of jewelry were neatly stacked.

Gu Qingsong took out five gold bars, hesitated for a moment before closing the lid, and then took out a translucent jade bracelet.

That was passed down from the Gu family ancestors. His grandmother told him when she was alive that it was meant to be left to his wife in the future.

Back then, his mother, Xu Fengjuan, was extremely envious and tried her best to please Grandma Gu, but Grandma Gu still wouldn't give in to her.

The incident happened suddenly, and this box of gold bars was all the money the Gu family could muster in the rush.

Before Grandpa Gu sealed the box, Grandma Gu specially took off the jade bracelet from her wrist and put it into the box as well.

So that in the future, Gu Qingsong could have the opportunity to take back the bracelet and give it to his future wife.
