Peasant woman's day

Chapter 21

Er Ya tilted his head and thought for a moment: "Just now when we went down to catch fish in the river, he was still standing by the river watching. He didn't pay attention later."

Furong's heart shuddered.Aunt Xie at the same table smiled and said, "Furong, it's so kind to Yuanyuan. She's such a kind girl."

Lin smiled and said a few words modestly.Furong felt a little uneasy in her heart, sat for a while, and was about to stand up, when someone patted her shoulder lightly from behind.Fu Rong hurriedly turned her head, and Gu Qingchen's eyes flashed anxiously: "Did you see Yuanyuan? He didn't come back."

Fu Rong immediately stood up, took two steps, then turned around and asked Erya, "Erya, where did you go to play just now?"

Erya was frightened by Furong's tone, shivered a bit, and said, "First we went to the river to catch fish to play, and then we kicked shuttlecocks under the big tree at the head of the village. Fatty said that his father brought him from the town. We went to see all the novelty things that came back.”

Gu Qingchen simply picked up Erya, and said to Aunt Wang: "Aunt Wang, borrow Erya."

Aunt Wang nodded her head in a daze. Seeing Erya looking back at the table enviously, Aunt Wang quickly broke off a chicken leg and stuffed it into Erya's hand before letting them go.

Not by the river.There is no big tree at the head of the village.Fu Rong was so anxious that her head was covered with sweat, she pursed her lips tightly.Yuanyuan, Yuanyuan, don't scare your mother!Where are you coming out soon.Fu Rong opened her mouth and shouted, with a faint cry in her voice.

Along the way, Gu Qingchen carefully asked Erya which roads she had traveled and where she had seen Yuanyuan before.Erya began to say that she didn't know.Later, when they got under the big tree, Erya slapped her head: "I remembered, we went to the bamboo forest just now, and said we were digging bamboo shoots to eat."

After hearing this, Furong ran away.Gu Qingchen followed behind her and ran over there.As soon as she got close to the bamboo forest, Fu Rong heard a faint cry and the sound of stepping on the bamboo leaves.Fu Rong subconsciously called out, "Yuanyuan, is that you?"

This bamboo forest has grown for many years, and it grows so densely that Furong can hardly see through it at a glance.Fu Rong was about to leave when Gu Qingchen grabbed her.She looked at Gu Qingchen inexplicably, only to see Gu Qingchen put Erya down with a stern expression, and said, "Don't come in, wait for me outside!" After speaking, Gu Qingchen quickly ran into the bamboo forest.

The ambient light is dim.Fu Rong could only hear Gu Qingchen's footsteps gradually going away.At the same time, another rush of footsteps echoed in the distance of the bamboo forest.Fu Rong was taken aback immediately, could it be that there are villains!What if he had a knife in his hand?Furong became nervous, pushed Erya back, and said in a low voice: "You go to my elder brother, he said that there are villains, hurry up!"

Erya almost fell to the ground.It's just that in the dim bamboo forest, Furong's expression really made her feel a little scared.Erya could only nod her head, stood up and ran away.

No, you can't just sit here and wait for death.Furong looked around, and there was a wooden stick for washing by the fence of the house that happened to be close to the bamboo forest.Fu Rong ran over, picked it up, listened intently to the sound of footsteps, and ran over cautiously.

This bamboo forest is not ordinary big.After walking for a while, Fu Rong stopped and listened carefully to the movements around her.Because she was going to a neighbor's house, Furong was wearing embroidered shoes.It only rained yesterday, and her shoes were completely soaked by the rain, and she almost got stuck in the mud several times.There are no roads in the bamboo forest, so I have to find the gaps by myself.

Furong gradually approached, and Yuanyuan's cries gradually amplified.Her heart seemed to be tightened by something, and she involuntarily grasped the stick tightly.

"If you want to die, don't meddle in your own business!" A vicious voice said, "It's up to you, you want to take this little kid away today? Oh, don't be a hero."

In the shadow, Fu Rong saw the appearance of a figure over there.Gu Qingchen's voice also sounded: "Let him go, or you won't want to get away today."

Listening to the voice, Gu Qingchen's was farther away.Every time Fu Rong took a step there, she was more careful.The sky was overcast, and there was a constant breeze blowing through the bamboo forest. The rustling of bamboo leaves just covered up the footsteps of Furong.

Closer, closer.The man turned his back on him.At this moment, Fu Rong was very annoyed that she didn't take a bigger stick, so she went down with such a stick, relying on her own strength, she wondered if she could stop him in one fell swoop.She looked at the little figure sitting beside him crying on the ground again, thinking about the possibility of knocking him out with a stick, and then hugging Yuanyuan over.No matter how you look at it, it's not easy.

Gu Qingchen's eyes were good, and he saw the pink half-corner behind the man at a glance.This woman really came in.Gu Qingchen just glanced at it, and then said: "If you want money, I can give it to you. Keep the child."

The man laughed loudly: "It will always be a disaster to keep you! Anyway, I will run away, and I don't care about taking another life."

Gu Qingchen narrowed his eyes: "Then don't blame me for being rude!" As he said that, he punched in his hand and rushed straight over.

The man smiled through his nose: This is a fist and embroidered legs.He retreated subconsciously, and he retreated in front of Fu Rong.

It's now!Fu Rong raised the stick high, and with all her strength, aimed at the back of the man's head and swung it viciously.

With a bang, the man felt a pain in the back of his head, and his movements paused.Gu Qingchen's fist jerked upwards from the man's chin, and the man suffered from pain both front and back, but his reaction from fighting over the years made him grab Gu Qingchen's lapel in front of him and lift him up completely. Get up and slam back.

Furong slapped her, quickly stepped aside, rushed over and pulled Yuanyuan.There was a dull sound behind her, which made Fu Rong's heart tremble.She turned her head and saw Gu Qingchen lying on the ground, she immediately got angry from her feet, pulled Yuanyuan to her back, and grabbed the stick tightly in her hand: "I have already called someone! If you are not afraid of death, just stay!"

The man covered the back of his head, shook his head, and rushed towards Fu Rong.It was too late to say it, but as soon as his feet left the ground, Gu Qingchen had already straightened up, grabbed his ankle, and pulled it down hard.The man fell down with a bang.Fu Rong saw the right moment, and the stick hit the man's neck again with a bang, until Fu Rong's hands went numb from the shock.She still didn't drop the stick, she was on guard all over.

"Big sister, brother-in-law, where are you!" Guo Dali's voice came from afar.The man wanted to get up, but Gu Qingchen had already fitted himself up and jumped on him. One arm wrapped around the man's neck, he pushed back hard, and said loudly, "Brother, we are here!"

The man was beaten to death by a group of people brought by Guo Dali, and he was thrown aside.Fu Rong's hand was still tightly gripping the wooden stick, and she was terrified.Guo Dali rushed to Gu Qingchen's side and helped him up: "Brother-in-law, where is the injury?"

Just as Gu Qingchen was about to speak, he suddenly coughed violently.Only then was Fu Rong brought back to her thoughts by Gu Qingchen's voice, she hurriedly dropped the stick and rushed to Gu Qingchen's side.

"It's okay." Gu Qingchen waved his hand and said with difficulty, "Yuanyuan."

"Yuanyuan has me. Don't talk, see a doctor first." Furong turned to Guo Dali, "Brother, is there any bench, carefully lift him out. He fell to the ground just now, I'm afraid his bones will break , pierced into the viscera."

Guo Dali nodded quickly.The group he brought heard that some of them had already gone back.Not long after, a man came carrying a stool.Guo Dali carefully supported Gu Qingchen on it, and quickly walked out of the bamboo forest.Furong hugged Yuanyuan and followed him out.

When Mrs. Lin heard the news, she rushed home in a hurry, not in the mood to eat.The doctor who treated bruises in the village had already finished his diagnosis, and Guo Dali, who sent him out, stuffed dozens of copper coins into his hand.Lin grabbed Guo Dali: "How is it?"

"It's okay. My brother-in-law had a fight with the gangster, but fortunately he didn't break a bone, just a little skin trauma." Guo Dali scratched his head, "Why are you back, mother?"

Only then did Lin let out a sigh of relief: "I was scared to death. How could there be bad people? Are your sister and Yuanyuan all right? Hey, I'll go in and have a look." Then, Lin lifted the curtain and entered Furong Room.

From Yuanyuan's intermittent and thoughtless narration, Fu Rong finally figured it out.Basically, Erya and the others ran too fast, and they all wanted to go to Pang Pang's house first to have a look.Yuanyuan, who was the last one, didn't even hear where they were going. As soon as they got to Pang Pang's house, the children rushed out again and went to the bamboo forest.Yuanyuan followed into the bamboo forest, but they were nowhere to be found.Then, Yuanyuan was put in a sack by herself.

When Fu Rong asked, her big round eyes flickered and she showed a scared expression.Fu Rong hugged him distressedly, and kissed his little cheek.A scent of milk came to the nostrils, and Fu Rong closed her eyes in peace.Yuanyuan's chubby claws hugged Fu Rong's head, and her own head was next to Fu Rong's head, and said in a childish voice, "Mother doesn't hurt, Yuanyuan Huhu."

"Mm, it doesn't hurt." Fu Rong's heart became more and more entangled, and she tried her best not to let herself think about that assumption: If she went one step late, what would be the result?

"Mother, look at Daddy." Yuanyuan let go of her hand, slapped Fu Rong's face with two small slaps, and said anxiously, "Daddy hurts, Daddy whirring."
