Chapter 317: Marrying the Mountain God 39
Several people in the main room rushed into the main house.
Fang fell to the ground in front of the bed, unable to get up. The baby on the bed was being carried by four mice to the side of the bed, and was about to fall off the bed.
Gu Jiande strode forward and said, "Where did this beast come from!"
The mouse was not afraid of people. It put the baby down on the bed, turned around and ran away.
Gu Jiande went forward to check on the child, while Gu Jiazu picked up his shoes and chased the mouse.
It was rare to see a rat that was that fat and that big. Gu Jixia was terrified and had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, "Dad, Dad, come out quickly!" Gu Jiazu shouted after chasing into the yard.
Gu Jiande stuffed the child into Fang's arms, turned around and went out again.
I don't know when a dense swarm of termites gathered in the yard, so many that it made people's scalps tingle just by looking at them.
Termites move very quickly, crawling on the ground in a regular pattern, forming a word.
"Return!" Gu Jiazu read out with a stiff neck.
The word "归" stayed for a long time, and then the termite quickly formed another word.
This time, before he finished writing the words, Gu Jiazu had already taken a step back and quickly said, "Die!"
Several villagers came into the yard at some point. When they saw this scene, they were frightened. This was the warning from the immortal!
"Oh no! Gu Laoer's family is going to be punished by God. Gu Laoer's family has offended the mountain god!" The villager, who only saw the word "death" at the end, yelled, ran out of the yard, and shouted towards the village.
The people of Qingxi Village have been waiting for the return gift from the eldest daughter of the Gu family, as his family still owes debts to the villagers.
But Gu Jixia was nowhere to be seen on the day of the return visit. The villagers speculated that maybe Gu Jiande had tricked his daughter into keeping the return visit gift for himself in order to shirk their benefits.
So, for several months, people in the village have taken turns to closely monitor the movements of Gu Laoer's family.
Gu Lao Er went to his mother to borrow money, and Mrs. Gu gave him two taels of silver. Gu Lao Er refused, saying that a deer could be sold for at least thirty or forty taels of silver, so why would she be willing to give so little.
A few days later, Gu Jiazu's classmates returned all the clothes and bedding that Gu Jiazu had left in the academy. The specific reason was unknown, but Gu Jiazu was never seen leaving the house again, and he didn't even send a New Year's gift to his teacher.
What on earth is the Gu family talking about?
Until today, someone saw a woman running into Gu Laoer's yard in a panic, and he followed her and hid under the wall to eavesdrop.
Then I learned that the eldest daughter of the Gu family had returned.
Although the person came back, not only did he not bring any gifts, but his return was also very unlucky.
Soon, everyone in Qingxi Village knew that Gu Jixia, who married the mountain god, had returned, and they all rushed to Gu's house to join in the fun.
But no one dared to step into the Gu family's yard.
On the flat ground in the yard, termites were still arranging words, sometimes it was the word "return", sometimes it was the word "death".
Gu Jiazu turned to Gu Jiande and said, "This is the news that the mountain god knows that my eldest sister has escaped back home. Dad, let's quickly let my eldest sister go back."
Gu Jiande turned around and went into the house, dragging Gu Jixia, who was still lying on the ground in a daze, out, "Go, go back quickly."
Gu Jixia struggled violently, "I won't leave, this is my home, I don't want to go back, please, Dad, don't send me back."
Gu Jiande dragged her out of the house and pointed at the termites on the ground, "Do you want to kill us? We are all your relatives."
The dense white termites on the ground frightened Gu Jixia so much that she turned pale. "I won't go back, Dad. Let Gu Li go. Let Gu Li go. The engagement with the mountain god originally belonged to Gu Li. I will never dare to steal her things again. I swear!"
Gu Jiande slapped her in the face and said, "How dare you bring this up? Get the hell out of here!"
Gu Jixia ignored the blood on the corner of her mouth and hugged Gu Jiande's legs, crying and begging, "Dad, I beg you, just let Gu Li go. You are her biological father, she must listen to what you say!"
Gu Jiande sneered, "You also know that I am her biological father!"
Before he could shake off Gu Jixia, the termites that had been arranging the words suddenly scattered, rushing onto any furniture or chairs they could get their hands on, and then retreated like a tide after a moment.
Only a few sawdust are left where termites have crawled.
The accident happened quickly. In just a moment, the shoulder pole and backpack placed by the wall disappeared.
Gu Jiande screamed, kicked Gu Jixia away, and took several steps back. "Jia Zu, hurry up and light the torch in the kitchen. They are going to eat our house!"
The onlookers were also frightened and ran away in all directions immediately.
Gu Li didn't need to ask about the farce in the Gu family, as someone would come to report to her.
As the year drew to a close, the academy was closed for the holidays, and Lian Yunshen and his family finally returned to the village from the town. Gu Li had just arrived home, and the water on the small stove hadn't boiled yet, when Sister Cuilan came running over with her hands tucked into her sleeves.
He talked vividly for a long time and drank three bowls of tea.
"Then Gu Jixia went back?" Gu Li didn't expect that Gu Jixia could run down the mountain by herself. She was so brave, but in the end it was all broken.
"She doesn't want to go back. Gu Laoer's threats and bribes are useless. Her mother even knelt down in front of her with her kitten-like brother in her arms, but she still refused to go back. The girl is determined to stay and even said that when the mountain god comes, she will let you replace her!"
Haha, if you do bad things too much, they will become a habit.
"But Gu Lao Er didn't listen to her this time. He tied her up with a rope and threw her directly into the mountain."
Sister Cuilan grabbed a handful of pumpkin seeds that Lian's mother had roasted and started cracking them without any hesitation.
"It is said that the second son of Gu's family suffered a great loss this time. His youngest son was frightened and had a fever. In addition, all the things in his yard were eaten by termites, as was the kitchen. They also accidentally burned down a thatched hut.
Sister-in-law, how come you know so much about it, as if you were there and saw it with your own eyes."
"Why would you go and see? This is such a strange thing, which village nearby wouldn't know about it?"
Sister Cuilan was talking excitedly, but she didn't expect that Gu Jiande, the center of gossip, was already standing at the gate of the Lian family's courtyard.
Sister Cuilan had gone to the Gu family to grab the betrothal gifts. She recognized Gu Jiande and spoke first without waiting for Gu Li to ask.
"What are you here for?"
Gu Jiande was no longer as cold and indifferent as before. He held a baby in his arms and looked at Gu Li who was standing in the main room without coming out. He said, "Ah Li, even though you refuse to call me father anymore, I gave birth to you and raised you. The one in my arms is also your brother. He, he is dying -"
Lian Yunshen, who heard the noise outside, walked out of the bedroom, stood beside Gu Li, and held her hand, "Do you want me to chase him away?"
Gu Li smiled and shook her head. He really wouldn't give anything at all. He had pushed the man into a desperate situation and there was no telling what he could do.
