Help! I just woke up and was stabbed by a big kid

Luonan Road in winter has a different kind of beauty.

Snow covered the undulating hills in the distance, and the bare branches beside the road were covered with a thin layer of ice. The official road was covered with snow, and the wheels rolled over it, leaving two long snow tracks.

Leaving the prosperous land and hills, we arrived at the place full of fields, where the whiteness that runs through the sky and earth is even more evident. The thick snow covers the dormant farmland, and there will be a good harvest next year.

Gu Yue thought that the winter here was not too cold, but looking at the melting snow, it seemed otherwise.

He sat on the front side of the car, swinging his legs in a daze.

"not cold?"

His shoulders suddenly felt heavy, and Gu Xu put a fur cloak made of some unknown fur on him.

"Not bad." Gu Yue gathered the two sides of his cloak, feeling warm, "Where did it come from?"

"It's a gift from the Su family." Gu Xu said, "Are you wearing the soft armor?"

"I'm wearing it, don't worry." Gu Yue patted his chest.

Gu Xu nodded.

During the New Year's Day, there were almost no carriages on the official road.

A hundred meters away, a man and a horse were walking alone in the snow. The man under the bamboo hat raised the brim of his hat and looked at the three carriages in the snow far ahead.

……

It was difficult to travel in the snow, but fortunately there were few vehicles and no ice on the road, so they finally arrived at Liuli Town before the Lantern Festival.

The town was still filled with a New Year atmosphere. After resting for a while in the martial arts hall, everyone headed towards Gujia Village.

According to Wuhua's report, nothing unusual happened in the village or town during the time they were away, and everything was peaceful. The spies outside also left after the fried chicken shop closed and left.

When they entered the village, the children playing snowball fights at the entrance of the village saw them clearly.

The tall and short children stared blankly at the car driving into the village. The people in the car looked familiar, but they couldn't recognize who they were. It was not until they followed the car to the front door of the Gu family's old house that the children suddenly realized what was going on and ran back yelling.

The news that Gu Dashi and Gu Xu had returned quickly spread throughout Gujia Village.

Entering the old house, a smell of dust hits you in the face. What surprises Gu Yue is that someone has pasted a pair of Spring Festival couplets on the door, and there are traces of someone sweeping the door.

"Why is there still someone putting up couplets? Who did it?" Gu Yue asked.

"Maybe the news that you were conferred the title of Earl has come back." Gu Xu said.

Sure enough, just after they put down their things and packed up, someone came outside the courtyard gate.

And there are quite a few of them, at least five or six families.

There were many people dragging children. The middle-aged man in the lead pushed the child's shoulder and urged: "Go and give it to you..."

He got stuck halfway through his sentence. Gu Xu is a grown-up now, but he still looks like he used to be. Who is the man next to him?

Look at the scar on his face and his physique, is this Gu Dashi?

Seeing their reactions, Gu Yue asked Gu Xu in a low voice: "Do I look different now than before?"

Gu Xu turned his head and looked at him for a moment.

"It's not quite the same. It's just that we've been together all this time, so the changes are subtle and long-lasting, so I don't find them abrupt. These people haven't seen you for a long time, so naturally they feel strange about you."

Gu Yue nodded and walked forward: "I am Dashi, why don't you recognize me?"

Gu Yue didn't remember who the villager was, so he said, "I haven't seen you for a few years. You've changed a lot! Whose family are you from..."

The middle-aged man hurriedly said, "I'm Gu Dafeng! Dashi, you've changed so much that we can hardly recognize you!"

He pushed the group of children in front of him and said, "Hurry up, come and wish your Uncle Dashi a happy new year!"

A group of children rushed forward, knelt in a row, and kowtowed to Gu Yue: "Happy New Year, Uncle Dashi!"

Gu Yue was startled.

Just kowtow! Ancient people were really unrefined!

Gu Xu was prepared for this. He handed Gu Yue a bag. Gu Yue looked down and saw many mini red envelopes in it. They were heavy and he weighed them. They were worth about fifty cents.

Gu Yue took out the red envelopes and stuffed them into the hands of the children one by one.

"Happy New Year, Happy New Year." He smiled.

Gu Dafeng chatted with him earnestly: "Dashi, I heard that you were named earl by the emperor. Is it true or false?"

After hearing this, Gu Yue roughly understood what these people meant.

He immediately showed a bitter face: "Brother, don't mention it!"

"What's wrong?" Gu Dafeng thought to himself.

The villagers behind him also gathered around, talking at once: "Why are you so worried? Now he is the uncle, that's a great thing!"

"I heard that the village chief wants to build a golden tablet for you!"

"Our village is so shabby, it's really unworthy of the status of Lord!"

The golden stele is too outrageous!

Gu Yue said with a sad face: "The man on the dragon throne did confer a title on me, but he didn't confer me a fiefdom! I am not qualified enough."

"What is a fiefdom?"

"I know!" a villager said immediately, "It means allocating a piece of land to him, and all the harvest and money from the land will belong to this person with the title."

"Ah? Isn't that just paying wages?"

"It's just about paying wages." Gu Yue said, "I only have a title, a house, and a bunch of servants, but the emperor doesn't give me money, and I have to use my own money to support these things. I'm really poor! This time I came back, I also wanted to borrow some money from the villagers. You see, we are all from the same village..."

The group's expressions changed immediately.

"We villagers don't make much money. We are content with a few copper coins a year." Gu Dafeng said quickly, "Your house has not been occupied for a long time. It will take some time to clean it. I won't bother you. Come over for dinner when you have time."

As he said this, Gu Dafeng pushed aside the villagers and left with his children.

A few more people quietly walked away from behind, and Gu Yue pretended not to see them.

The people behind him were all skeptical and asked, "You really didn't give him a fief?"

"No! If I insist that he is not, that would be slandering the emperor. Do I have the courage to do that?" Gu Yue spread his hands.

“Why don’t you sell the mansion?”

"Do I dare to sell something bestowed by the emperor? Who dares to buy it?" Gu Yue said loudly.

A group of people who wanted to make some connections backed off.

There were still a few families left who had other plans, so they stayed and instead started to inquire about what was happening in Luoyang.

Gu Yue was a little annoyed because he still had to go see the village chief.

Gu Xu winked at Wu Huo on the side.

Wu Huo's face suddenly darkened, and he pulled Shi San, and the two of them walked forward together.

Wu Huo said in a cold tone: "Making trouble?"

Shi San cooperated and reached for the hilt of the dagger at his waist.

Gu Yue was in a state of dramatic excitement, and he quickly stopped in front of the two of them, tightly grasped their wrists, and said, "Don't be angry, don't be angry, let's talk it over nicely!"

Then he shouted at the villagers who refused to leave: "Run! Run!"

The villagers were horrified and rushed out of the yard like greased feet. The child was caught under the arms and cried loudly with fear.

Gu Yue slammed the gate.

Wu Huo lost his composure in a second and burst into laughter.
