Seventy Buddha Cannon Fodder

A group of children huffed and ran towards the river, and when they passed by Gu Liangxing, they even snorted coldly at him.

"Gu Liangxing, are you really not going? Don't be greedy when we catch a big fish."

"I'm not greedy, not rare."

Gu Liangxing puffed up his cheeks angrily: "They called me big brother when they were eating honey, and now they call Xiaoyun, these people are really shameless."

【It does not matter, I do not mind. 】Gu Yun has been mute since she was a child. Unlike other deaf-mute people, her inability to speak is due to a problem with her vocal cords. Her hearing is fine. Many people will mistake this, thinking that she cannot speak or hear.

From childhood to adulthood, Gu Yun grew up surrounded by other people's little dumb jeers.

When she was very young, some people who flattered and flattered her grandpa thought she couldn’t hear her and secretly scolded her as a dumb person when she turned around when no one was around. She still remembers those faces with loving smiles but actually uttering vicious words. Remember.

The little girl who grew up with her grandfather without parents is far more precocious than ordinary people, and she is also very smart besides being sensible.

Gu Yun would still be sad because of these things when she was a child, but she has experienced too many things later, and now she wants to understand, because it is not worthwhile for outsiders to be sad, as long as the people she cares about her love her and like her, that is enough.

Now she feels very happy, with her father, uncles and aunts, and two older brothers who are actually younger than herself, and her grandfather is also fine. Gu Yun feels very satisfied and doesn't care about the occasional gossip from the villagers at all.

Every time she sees her elder brother stand up for her, Gu Yun always comforts him in turn.

Gu Liangxing was still furious: "You don't care, I do, hum, no one can scold my sister."

Gu Yun pursed her lips and smiled, the dimples at the corners of her mouth were faintly visible, making her look extraordinarily cute.

Gu Liangxing watched, and the anger in his heart dissipated a little. There are so many sensible and obedient younger sisters, which are much better than the stinky younger brothers who only irritate people and always want to take over their father, but those guys don't know what to do.

"Xiaoyun, you are the best sister in the world, making them blind."

As he said that, Gu Liangxing's eyes were still rolling, thinking about finding a way to deal with those little bastards, and let them know that the younger sister of the old Gu family must not be bullied.

Gu Liangxing had beaten and threatened them before. After the beating, those children all admitted their mistakes. After a few days, the scars healed and they forgot the pain, and they started screaming again.

What annoyed Gu Liangxing the most was that he regarded Zhang Xiaobao as a friend and took him with him the last time he picked out honey. He clearly promised not to bully his sister, but he continued to talk nonsense, which was really annoying.

It's a pity that he doesn't have enough brains, and after much deliberation, he can't think of a good way. If he beats someone directly, the effect will not be good, and he will definitely be sued by other adults at that time, and he doesn't want to cause trouble for the family.

"Let's go, let's find Ah Chen, he has suffered the most damage." Gu Liangxing, who couldn't think of a way, shouted suddenly.

When the matter came to an end, Gu Liangxing finally remembered that he had a younger brother who was a ghost, and it was time for him to come in handy.

Gu Liangxing pulled Gu Yun and found Gu Mingdong and his younger brother in the paddy field.

Gu Mingdong was releasing water with a hoe, thanks to the higher terrain of the paddy field, otherwise it would be difficult to release it now.

Like a little follower, Gu Liangchen followed behind him step by step.

"Hmph, I knew Ah Chen would definitely be following Dad." Gu Liangxing muttered in his heart, and waved vigorously towards that side, but his younger brother pretended he hadn't seen it, and ignored him at all.

"Ah Chen, come here." Gu Liangxing greeted.

Gu Liangchen glanced at him, but still had no intention of going over.

Based on his consistent experience, it would definitely not be a good thing for his elder brother to find him, so he didn't want to be squeezed in the past.

Gu Liangxing yelled, "Come here!"

Gu Mingdong was amused by their interaction: "I guess I have something to do with you, let's go."

After listening to his father's words, Gu Liangchen reluctantly walked over: "Why?"

Gu Liangxing was about to speak when he heard a voice coming from the bamboo basket on his back, and asked curiously, "What's in your bamboo basket? Have you caught a rabbit again?"

The rabbits that were caught in the fall had become much fatter after several months of raising them, and they were killed as two delicious dishes during the Chinese New Year. The taste of eating them is still fresh in Gu Xingxing's memory.

None of the gray rabbit fur was wasted. Gu Simei skillfully produced flowers, and stitched them together to make leather hats for the three children, which are especially warm in winter.

Gu Liangxing wears a hat and eats rabbit meat. Since then, he has fallen in love with raising rabbits, and he wants to catch a litter and continue to raise them wholeheartedly.

It's a pity that Gu Mingdong disliked the rabbit's ability to pull it too much, and it had a strong smell and made holes everywhere. It was not as easy to raise as a hen, so he didn't use his golden fingers to realize his son's wish.

As soon as he heard the sound, Gu Liangxing's eyes straightened, and he stared eagerly.

"The fields are full of water, where did the rabbits come from?" Gu Liangchen said helplessly, holding a bamboo basket to show them, "It's the fish my father caught for me, look, it's big enough."

There was a slight smugness in his voice.

"Dad caught a fish!"

Gu Liangxing quickly stretched his neck to look, and saw a big fish lying in the bamboo basket, which was as long as an adult's arm, and looked fat and tender!

Gu Liangchen said proudly, "Dad caught it specially for me."

Gu Liangxing's eyes turned red with envy, and he forgot what he was going to say, and Sa Yazi ran towards Gu Mingdong, jumping and shouting: "Dad, I want fish too, you can catch one for me too."

Gu Mingdong teased him: "Your brother got up early in the morning to bring me tea and water, and went to work in the fields with me. He helped a lot. That's why I caught a fish to reward him. What did you do?"

Gu Liangxing froze, tilting his head to look at his father.

Gu Mingdong deliberately ignored him and continued to work.

Suddenly, Gu Liangxing yelled: "Dad, don't move, let me do it."

After finishing speaking, he rushed over like a little tiger, Gu Mingdong raised his eyebrows, and gave the hoe as high as his shoulders to the eldest son who wanted to show his attention.

Gu Mingliang eats well, looks stocky, and loves outdoor sports, despite his young age, his body is full of tendons.

He was working with a hoe that was taller than himself, and he seemed to have a good posture, but the mud was thrown straight at him.

Gu Mingdong quickly jumped back a step to avoid the end of being washed in muddy water.

"Brother, be careful, don't forget to throw it on Dad." Gu Liangchen was anxious, and shouted from the side.

"I know, I know, I'm careful." Gu Manniu tried hard to express himself.

Gu Yun covered her eyes with her hands, with a blank expression on her face.

But Gu Liangxing couldn't care less, his enthusiasm for working had never been higher than before, and he wished to plow all the surrounding paddy fields to make himself more valuable.

Seeing that the eldest son was panting from exhaustion, his face was flushed, Gu Mingdong, who was watching the joke, finally awakened his conscience, and said, "Okay, for the sake of your filial piety, I'll grab one for you."

Gu Liangxing wiped the sweat from his forehead, raised his head and said, "Dad, you can catch Xiaoyun first, and I will continue to work to earn the next one."

Gu Mingdong smiled: "Xiaoyun is usually so good. She helped her fourth aunt with a lot of housework, so I don't need your help to earn money. I want to give her a special reward."

"Then I want a big one, bigger than Ah Chen's." Gu Liangxing asked immediately after hearing this.

Gu Liangchen pursed his lips, looking at his brother with some unhappiness in his heart.

He turned his head to the side and asked, "Xiaoyun, do you think elder brother found out that our dad was deliberately teasing him?"

Gu Yun just covered her mouth and snickered, thinking that with Gu Liangxing's rectum, she must not know.

Gu Mingdong patted his eldest son on the forehead: "Don't think about it, Ah Chen has been busy all morning, how long have you been working?"

When Gu Liangxing heard this, he lowered his head in disappointment.

Catching fish is difficult for others, but it is easy for Gu Mingdong.

Gu Liangxing struggled for a long time without even seeing a fish, but his father wandered around the rice fields, and when he came back, he had two fish in his hand.

These two are the most common grass carp, smaller than the ones in Gu Liangchen's bamboo basket, but they are both alive and kicking, and they look delicious.

As soon as Gu Liangxing saw it, he jumped up excitedly: "Father is the best."

After saying that there was no bamboo basket by my side, I picked up my pocket and was about to pick it up.

Gu Mingdong slapped him on the back of the head: "When the time comes, it will smell like fish, let's see if your fourth aunt doesn't beat you."

Gu Simei felt that as an elder, she couldn't make money, but had to spend money to study, so she did all the housework, except for cooking, she absolutely refused to ask Gu Mingdong to help.

At the beginning, Gu Mingdong insisted, but after a long time, he realized that he would not let the fourth sister do it, but she was panicked, so she simply handed it over to her. In this way, the division of labor in the family is very clear, he is responsible for the field work, and the second and third are responsible for going to work. To make money, the fourth child is in charge of the housework, and everyone usually lends a helping hand if they can.

Since soap was available, washing clothes has been one of Gu Simei's favorite tasks, and the three children of the Gu family often help her.

Gu Liangxing grinned, turned around and wanted to run away, thinking that the fourth aunt would hold his ears and let him wash them if they got dirty, "Dad, then wait for me, I'll go home and get the bamboo basket."

Gu Mingdong shouted: "Come back, just carry it back like this."

As he said that, he bent down and went to the side to pick up a handful of grass. In spring and summer, children like to use this kind of grass to pierce raspberries in the ground, and it can also be used as a necklace belt when hanging around their necks.

Knead a few pieces of grass into a rope, and put it through the fish's mouth, and it is very strong to carry. Gu Liangxing and Gu Yun happened to have one each.

"Take it, take it back and ask your aunt to add something tonight." Gu Mingdong smiled.

It just so happened that the meat in the house was finished. In fact, Gu Liangxing didn't say anything, and Gu Mingdong would catch it for a few more days. He also planned to go secretly at night to catch more meat for food, and even send some to his aunt's house in the city.

Gu Liangxing didn't know what was going on, so he took it happily, holding the big fat fish in one hand, and Gu Yun in the other, and the two walked towards the house in a dangling way: "Ah Chen, are you going back?"

Gu Liangchen didn't want to go back, so he thought for a while and handed him his bamboo basket: "You can send it back for me."

"You didn't let me touch it just now." Gu Liangxing complained, but still obediently helped his brother carry it back.

In order to let the other children see that he finally had fish, Gu Liangxing did not hesitate to take a detour and walk through the market carrying the fish.

Soon, he found the place where Zhang Xiaobao and the others played, but he didn't see them.

"Uncle Zhang, what about Xiaobao and the others?" Gu Liangxing asked.

Zhang Xiaobao's parents were busy with farm work, and besides, the children in the country were free-range, so he said indifferently: "I don't know where to go to play."

"They didn't really go to the river, did they come back?" Gu Liangxing wrinkled his nose.

Zhang Xiaobao's father said with a big heart: "I probably went fishing, and I don't know how many I caught."

Zhang Xiaobao is not very old, and his water skills are quite good. His father is not worried about going to the river after hearing this.

Gu Liangxing frowned, pulled Gu Yun and said, "Let's go to the river and let him see that we also have fish, which must be bigger than his."

[You promise not to go down the river. ] Gu Yun insisted, looking at him seriously.

Gu Liangxing said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I have all the fish, why do I go down to the river?"

The two of them walked towards the river hand in hand. The rain stopped, but the water was still on the ground. There was a vast ocean near the big river, and the reeds on the banks of the river had been submerged.

Before Gu Liangxing approached, he saw a few shadows flopping by the river, and immediately shouted: "Aren't you here to catch fish? Why are you still swimming? Isn't it cold?"

Although it's already February, the weather is still chilly, and most people haven't even taken off their padded jackets. It's not the season for swimming in the river. Gu Liangxing finds it very strange.

When he ran closer and took a look, those children didn't swim, they stumbled and fell into the river, and they were thumping hard to get ashore.

"Gu Liangxing, pull me up quickly." The brats were almost crying in fright.

Gu Liangxing quickly picked up a branch and handed it over. Fortunately, the river in Shanghe Village had become deeper, but he was not in a hurry, and a few children who could swim climbed up.

Who knew that Gu Liangxing would find something was wrong when they landed on the shore: "Where is Zhang Xiaobao, didn't he come to catch fish together?"

The children were also dumbfounded and looked at each other in blank dismay.

One of them cried out with a wow: "He, he was still there just now, I don't know where he went."

Gu Liangxing looked at the ocean-like river, and was terrified: "Why are you crying, hurry up and call your lord!"

"Xiaoyun, you go home first, I'll call someone." Gu Liangxing yelled, and then ran away.

The other children were so frightened that they cried and slumped on the bank, unable to get up.

"Come on, Zhang Xiaobao fell into the river!"

Before Gu Liangxing called people, the members were still reminding Zhang Xiaobao's father: "You are also big-hearted, with such a big water, you don't have to worry about letting the children play by the river."

Zhang Xiaobao's father also said cheerfully: "It's okay, my little treasure has good water skills."

Who knew that before the words were finished, Gu Liangxing yelled, "Zhang Xiaobao fell into the river!"

Zhang Xiaobao's father's heart skipped a beat, his legs softened, and he almost didn't kneel down.

"What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and save someone!" The neighbor next to him reacted and pushed him.

Zhang Xiaobao's father hurriedly ran towards the river, but there was no sign of his son by the river, only the white water surface.

"Where's Xiaobao, where's my Xiaobao?" Zhang Xiaobao's father asked the children with eyes wide open.

Those children were also frightened, crying and shouting: "He fell into the river."

"Just now there was a red fish in the river. Zhang Xiaobao said he wanted to catch it, but he fell into it right away."

"We fell in to save him, but he's gone."

Father Zhang felt his scalp was getting cold, so he quickly took off his cotton jacket and plunged into the icy river water.

His water skills are also very good, one of the best in the production team of Shanghe Village, and his son's good water skills are learned from him, but at this moment, the water surface is calm, but the bottom of the water is full of water plants and sand washed down from the upper reaches, and there are yellow flowers all over the place. unclear.

"Xiaobao, where are you, Xiaobao, I'm Dad, please shout quickly."

Zhang's father tried to find his son without hesitation.

At this time, all the members of the commune heard the news and rushed over, and the parents of those children were shocked when they saw the posture.

After confirming that their child was fine, but after being frightened, they grabbed their son's ear and scolded: "Who told you to come to the river to play, didn't you tell you not to come?"

"It was Zhang Xiaobao who said he came to catch fish by the river, and he also said that there are a lot of fish here." The child cried out.

"Originally we were just fishing by the river, but when he saw the red carp, he decided to go into the water himself."

The members cursed inwardly, but Zhang Xiaobao was gone now, so they couldn't say anything.

The Zhang family has only such a precious son, if something happens to Zhang Xiaobao, it will probably never end.

The men who could swim took off their jackets and jumped into the water to help touch people under the water.

Zhang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law also rushed over when they heard the news, and they all fell down on the bank and cried.

Seeing the passing of time bit by bit, everyone on the shore knew that the longer the time dragged on, the child Zhang Xiaobao might not be saved, they were all children who watched him grow up, and the soft-hearted woman was already crying along with her.

Gu Mingdong was far away, and when he rushed over, some men had already gone ashore because of the cold water.

"I haven't found it for so long, the child is probably gone."

Unexpectedly, these words hit the Zhang family's lungs, and Zhang's mother rushed over to tear her apart: "My little treasure is fine, don't let you curse my son!"

Gu Mingdong ignored their quarrel, took off his thick clothes, and jumped down.

The twins stood on the bank, looking anxiously into the river, worried about Zhang Xiaobao who had disappeared, and also worried about his father who had just gone down the river to save someone.

The sky turned cloudy, and the men went ashore one after another. Except for Zhang Xiaobao's father who was still tirelessly persevering, only Gu Mingdong was still helping.

After getting used to the icy river water, Gu Mingdong took a deep breath and sank quickly.

The turbid river water can't block Gu Mingdong's sight, and his perception is not limited by his eyes.

The ability doesn't seem to like the bottom of the water very much, but it still spreads obediently and quickly. Unfortunately, the life of the bottom of the water is very complicated, which made Gu Mingdong lose his direction for a while.

Soon, he eliminated the complicated fish and aquatic plants one by one, and chased towards a more obvious aura.

When he judged the position of the breath at the bottom of the water, Gu Mingdong's heart skipped a beat. It is impossible for a human child to persist at the bottom of the water for so long.

Gu Mingdong quickly approached that place, but to his surprise, it wasn't the missing Zhang Xiaobao who was hiding deep in the bottom of the river, but an aged old bastard.

Seeing Gu Mingdong approaching, Pharaoh slowly swallowed the water and grass, and then slowly fled deeper.

Gu Mingdong's eyes fell on the position occupied by Lao Wangba, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, he didn't have time to look carefully, Gu Mingdong rose rapidly.

"Dad?" Gu Liangchen stared at the river closely, and shouted as soon as he saw his own father.

Gu Mingdong waved his hand at him and continued to dive.

"Ah Dong is working too hard." Li Tiezhu sighed, glanced at the Zhang family on the other side, sighed and took off his clothes to get into the water.

Qian Jinhua was full of worry, but she didn't stop her. She only told her, "Be careful."

In the end, before Li Tiezhu got into the water, Gu Mingdong floated up again. Everyone took a closer look and saw that he was carrying a child on his back.

"Help, the child has been found!"

The men who had gone ashore to rest also went into the water one after another, and went to help lift the child up.

When Zhang Xiaobao's father heard the news, his body softened. If someone nearby hadn't pulled him, he would have fallen into it like his son.

As soon as Gu Mingdong carried the child to the shore, the unlucky Zhang Xiaobao's face turned blue, and he didn't respond when he patted his face.

Li Tiezhu stretched out his fingers cautiously: "This—I'm out of breath."

"Xiaobao——" Grandma Zhang Xiaobao howled and passed out.

Gu Mingdong put his finger on the child's neck, and he could vaguely feel a pulse, but it was almost nonexistent.

"Not dead yet."

Gu Mingdong quickly turned the child over and put him on his lap, let his mouth and nose face down, and quickly patted Zhang Xiaobao's shoulders and back with his palm.

"Cough cough cough-"

After a few blows, Zhang Xiaobao coughed violently, vomiting out the muddy water that blocked his mouth and nose.

This unlucky child was lucky, he choked and held his breath when he fell into the water, instead he fell into a state of suspended animation, otherwise he would have died after such a long time.

After some first aid, Zhang Xiaobao's breathing finally recovered.

Gu Mingdong looked at the child's face, and said, "He is still alive, so he has to be sent to the hospital."

Zhang Xiaobao's parents didn't know anything else, they hurried to the hospital with the child in their arms, and other members of the commune chased after them with clean clothes and towels, in case Zhang Xiaobao was not drowned, but was frozen to death instead.

Gu Mingdong also heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this. After all, it would be a pity for such a naughty little kid to die in the river.

Zhang Xiaobao was sent to the hospital and escaped, but the rest of the children were not so lucky. Parents usually don't care about it, but now they found that they were so bold that they almost killed themselves, so naturally they have to deal with it.

For a while, singles and doubles were played together, men's and women's doubles were everywhere, and there were cries and cries by the river.

After twisting the wet clothes, Gu Mingdong looked at the twins.

Gu Liangxing hurriedly said: "Dad, I didn't go into the water, you can see that my body is dry."

Gu Mingdong raised his eyebrows: "You are smart this time, let's go, let's go home first."

"Look at other people's lessons. Don't just rely on the water quality to mess around. There is no right time in the river."

Gu Liangxing nodded obediently. He was also frightened this time. Although Zhang Xiaobao has a bad mouth and always likes to learn gossip, he is still a friend who played with him. He didn't want him to be drowned.

Gu Mingdong smiled and comforted his son, but he was thinking about what he saw just now under the water.

When I got home, Gu Simei had already gotten the news, and made brown sugar ginger soup early.

While drinking, Gu Mingdong complained: "Drinking ginger soup for two days in a row, I'm going to get angry."

Gu Simei said, "I'd rather get angry than catch a cold. Catching a cold and having a fever is no joke."

After finishing speaking, he taught a few nephews and nieces a lesson: "Did you see what happened to Zhang Xiaobao? There are water ghosts in our river. If children go to play by themselves, they will be dragged away. You must not go there."

"Ah Xing, especially you. You are the skinniest in our family. If I find out that you secretly went to play in the river, then your father will beat you up. Do you hear me?"

Gu Liangxing immediately swore that he would never go.

At the end, he asked curiously: "Si Gu, there are still water ghosts in our river. What are water ghosts? Aren't all ghosts and ghosts fake?"

Seeing that there were no outsiders, Gu Simei said in a low voice: "When you were not born, people drowned in our river every year. They all said that the water ghost came to catch the substitute."

"The demons and monsters have been knocked down, but who knows if they will get back up."

Gu Simei showed a posture of lingering fear, and the person who usually has a good memory is still very superstitious at the moment.

Gu Liangxing trembled in fright, and quickly promised: "Fourth Aunt, I will definitely be obedient."

Gu Yun was also taken aback by fright.

Gu Liangchen didn't believe this, walked over and leaned into Gu Mingdong's ear and said, "Fourth Aunt deliberately fooled us, brother also believes that."

Gu Mingdong smiled and pinched his nose: "Shh."

Gu Liangchen snickered, he didn't want to tell his silly brother the truth.
