Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 929: Is that my second brother in front?

It was impossible to run away. According to the old rules, no matter when Zhou Sishun returned home, there would be a carriage waiting outside to take him back to the Zhou family in Hexi.

But this time, Gu Erzhu was not just being polite with his in-laws. He also had to go back to the village tonight to visit his uncles, and it just happened to be on his way.

Unlike the warmer weather during the day when the sun is shining, the earth is shrouded in the night, and there is a chill in the air, and the wind is bone-chillingly cold.

It seemed as if the severe winter was unwilling to end and was still competing with the early spring. It was not a pleasant feeling to sit on the shaft of a horse-drawn carriage for a ride, but fortunately it was not far away.

Gu Wenxuan saw that Gu Erlang was very brave. He was unwilling to put on a cloak before going out, and he refused to get into the carriage. So he was shrinking his neck now, right?
Little guy, with this physique, can't be compared with the physique he has gained from years of martial arts training, but he still imitates him and sits outside in a cotton robe, caring more about style than warmth.

"What are you laughing at?" Gu Erlang slapped his silly brother who thought he was laughing secretly, "Have you chosen a nickname for your eldest daughter?"

He brought this up again. He just felt that no nickname was worthy of his daughter. What was there to tease? "No hurry. I need to think about it again."

Gu Erlang couldn't help laughing, glanced at his silly brother, looked up at the night sky, and thought for a while, "Do you think Wulang's wife is pregnant with a boy or a girl?"

I'm boring you. Gu Wenxuan looked towards the direction of his uncle's yard not far away in the night, and couldn't help shaking his head, "Wu Lang is not Si Lang."

What you mean is that no matter whether the first child is a boy or a girl, Wulang will not do as Silang said and stop complaining about it when his wife gives birth to a girl?

But your brother means this, you are not answering the question, Liu Lang! Gu Erlang was too lazy to reach out, so he touched Gu Wenxuan with his elbow. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a shout.

"Is that the second brother in front?"

Uncle?

Uncle!

Why is my uncle coming to the end of the village at this time? He is usually busy at this time, and it doesn't look like he is going to Yuyuan or my third uncle's house.
"It's me and your brother Zhou San. Where are you going?" Gu Erzhu nodded to Zhou Sishun to prevent his younger brother from saying anything he shouldn't.

Upon hearing this, Gu Laosi immediately greeted Zhou Sishun and raised a basket in one hand, "... Look, I have to go to my uncle's place.

I don’t know what day it is today, it’s already dark, my eldest uncle and second uncle are still at my uncle’s house and haven’t come back yet. I heard from my mother that my father is there too.”

Gu Erzhu thought it was a coincidence, as his grandfather and his three sons were just about to go look for them. When he heard that even his father was there, he almost bit his tongue.

No matter if the old man was called over and scolded by his uncle or not, he and his two grandparents could not go. He did not dare to say wait a moment until the three grandparents went to his uncle's house together.

Don’t think that the uncle is two or three years younger than the eldest uncle. Because the uncle is older than the eldest uncle and has a hot temper, the old man will definitely not only be scolded but also beaten this time.

The whip in the uncle's hand doesn't recognize anyone. Even my uncle, who is already old, has been whipped by my uncle. You deserve it, for trying to take advantage of the eldest brother and get close to County Magistrate Huang!

If I can spoil you, will my uncle spoil you? Do you really think that as a son, I won’t complain to my uncle, and I won’t complain to my eldest cousin? Look, I’ve been called over!

"Then my three grandfathers will go to Hexi first, and then go to my uncle's house after we return from Changgen's house..." Gu Erzhu thought about it, "I don't know when we will be back, forget it, it's better not to delay my uncle and let him rest early, you should just pretend that you didn't see my three grandfathers tonight."

After watching Gu Erzhu finish his words and wave his hand, Gu Laosi didn't know whether to nod or shake his head. Was there any encounter along the way? Was it something he could hide by lying?

This place is only three or five houses away from my uncle's house. It's not the middle of the night when everyone is sleeping on the kang. I didn't see an old man coming out of the yard on the right and looking around. Do you think he would go back to his house without telling his family that a carriage had entered the village, or not tell them who he heard talking to whom? Do you believe that my uncle would know that you didn't intend to go to his house with me tomorrow?

If Zhou Sishun hadn't been there, Gu Laosi would have had to chat with his good second brother to find a safer excuse. Instead of pretending that he didn't see it, it would be better to tell the truth.

But, do we have to go to find Zhou Changgen again, or do the three of them come together? Are they going to build a new workshop, or is the yard of one of their farms not big enough and needs to be expanded?
Didn’t my eldest brother-in-law say privately a few days ago that his second brother’s family bought a lot of farms and shops this time? That old man Zhou Changgen has really done a good deed and will be busy again.

Gu Laosi, who was very envious of Zhou Changgen, watched the carriage leave until it turned the corner and disappeared. Then he shook his head and strode quickly towards his uncle's house.

When he arrived, the gate was tightly closed as he expected. He pushed hard but couldn't open it. There was also a sound from behind the door.

"Who?"

Gu Laosi quickly gave his full name, lest the cousin behind the door misunderstand his nickname and mistakenly think that a stranger had come and find an excuse to not let him in.

This was not something my cousin would not do. Before dark, my cousin found an excuse to send his wife, daughter-in-law and daughter to his house.

No, no, no, that's not right. Why did he let his cousin's wife bring her daughter-in-law and daughter to his house? Wasn't he being tricked by this cousin? Did he want him to go find his second brother?

"Ha, brother, are you guarding the gate outside?" Looking at his cousin who finally opened the gate and let him in, Gu Laosi asked unhappily.

What are you so sarcastic about!

Gu Yangxiu turned around and rolled his eyes at him unhappily, "Keep your voice down, don't say I didn't warn you, my dad is using that long whip, you'd better come into the house later."

What?
When Gu Laosi heard this, he was so frightened that his right hand, which had been freed to help Gu Yangxiu lock the door bolt, froze. It had been so many years, why was his uncle touching that long whip again?
Who to pick?

Old man?
No wonder my cousin’s wife took her daughter-in-law and daughter to his house and never came back, no wonder my mother and second aunt’s wife were still at my eldest aunt’s place, and no wonder my second brother was about to get off the carriage but later said that he would just pretend he didn’t see his three fathers.

No wonder he felt something was wrong after listening halfway through. He thought he was overthinking it. Was it necessary for Erlang to go with him just to Zhou Changgen's place?

Erlang is the eldest son of the second brother. If Erlang didn't just represent the second brother and him to come to the uncle's place, there would be no need for the second brother to pass by the uncle's place when coming back from Zhou Changgen's house in Hexi.

Could it be that the second brother is not as afraid as he is that the uncle will scold Dad, and it would be bad if Erlang and Liulang heard it? Could it be that he has calculated that Dad will be at the uncle's place tonight and the uncle will definitely use that long whip?
"My father was punished by my uncle?"

Gu Yangxiu nodded silently and raised his hands.

Got whipped ten times?
damn.

Who told the uncle something that made him so angry? It couldn't have been the second brother who found the uncle. If the second brother wanted to file a complaint, he would have asked the uncle to make the decision eight hundred years ago.

Third brother?

He doesn't dare to complain to his uncle, and his third brother doesn't dare to tell on his uncle, so who else is there?
"Your elder brother is in there too."

"What? Who?"
