The Tight Embrace of the End Times

At the door of a house in the middle of the village, many people surrounded each other, all of them looked in, but the door was closed.All I could hear was the hoarse cry of a woman inside, and the man explaining something with his voice suppressed.

Monk Zhang Er was puzzled by everyone.

However, everyone is no stranger to this room. It was built in the middle of the village, and it used to be the most magnificent room in the village. In the past, everyone was called to stand in the yard if they had to discuss anything. The courtyard entrance, as it is now, is the home of the former village chief, Gu Dezhi.

Everyone became more and more curious. You must know that Gu Dezhi has become a truly transparent person in the village since he resigned from the position of village head, and his son Gu Yong has not done anything that catches people's eyes. Only his wife, Aunt Xue, has a bad temper. She shows her presence from time to time, and often quarrels with the eldest daughter and the younger daughter-in-law.

But Aunt Xue broke her leg when it was snowing. I haven't seen her for a long time. She should still be lying at home!

So who is this yelling and angry woman?Occasionally, a few clear words can be heard, such as "harm...death...wolf-hearted..." and so on, everyone is even more curious.

In addition to being curious, I also felt worried, for fear that the fire would burn myself.

These days, any unstable factor makes people feel insecure, and people can't afford any troubles.

The village head, Gu Gang, was also in the crowd, and the villagers all stared at Gu Gang expectantly, hoping that he would give him an idea.

Gu Leng said to Xiao Qiao in a low voice: "Let's stand behind the others later, and just listen to it. It should be an internal conflict, and the villagers can solve it by themselves."

"Well, listen to you. The two of us should not get too involved in the affairs of the village."

The village head, Gu Gang, was signaled by everyone's eyes, went up and knocked on the door twice, and later realized that the people inside might not be able to hear such a small sound, so he slammed the door hard a few times, and the door paused for a few seconds, and then It was pulled away from the inside at once.

Everyone was shocked to find that the one who opened the door was Mrs. Shi (the former wife of Gu Qian, who later married a butcher Shi, everyone called her Mrs. Shi).

Entering the yard, everyone exclaimed, and at the first sight, they were attracted by Aunt Xue who was lying on the mat in the yard. Oh, this Aunt Xue, I haven’t seen you for more than a month, she is fattening at home, she seems to be able to There is a weight of four to five hundred catties, and the food is really good, the villagers all thought enviously.

Take a closer look, this, this is not right.In the dim light, Aunt Xue was lying like this, motionless, she didn't seem to be sleeping, she looked more like a dead person! !

The villagers were taken aback, and quickly turned their questioning eyes to Gu Yong who was standing next to Aunt Xue. Gu Yong moved the corners of his mouth, but did not say a word, only a sad and uncontrollable expression on his face.

The villagers turned their questioning gazes to Gu Dezhi who was sitting next to Aunt Xue. Gu Dezhi was in a very bad condition. frightening.

Everyone turned their attention to Aunt Shi, only to realize that there was another person in the yard, the butcher Shi was sitting on the steps in the yard, with a piece of dry grass in his mouth, looking at this side carelessly.

What is this, why are they here?I can only wait for Mrs. Shi to give me an answer.

Gu Gang asked in a deep voice: "Sister-in-law Shi, what's going on? Why are you two in Gu Yong's yard?"

Mrs. Shi couldn't bear it any longer, and said in a breath: "I, my family, I passed the door through the door of Gu Yong's house when I went back. I heard strange noises in the yard, so I went to the door Take a look in the cracks, look at it, it's terrible, I saw that Gu Yong dragged Aunt Xue out of the house with a straw mat, he, he was going to destroy the corpse, I was anxious Under that, I pushed open the door and came in to stop it."

"You are talking nonsense, my mother is dead, I can't bear the pain, how can it be some kind of corpse, it's just that it's so hot, I can't keep it in the house all the time, I have to take her to the yard first." Said here , Gu Yong was not as angry as before, and smiled wryly: "It's just that you have seen it too, my mother..., with this weight, I really can't hold her, so I can only drag her out."

Mrs. Shi confronted each other: "Aunt Xue looked fine a month ago, but why did she die all of a sudden? Her leg was broken and she was lying on the bed and couldn't move. Everything depends on you. You must not be able to stand your mother. , killed her."

"I harmed my mother? It's an anecdote in the world. What reason do I have to harm her? She is my own mother. For more than a month, I have provided food and drink for her. Otherwise, my mother would have grown up like this?"

The villagers all nodded inwardly. They must be a filial son with such good food and drink these days.

Mrs. Shi was in a hurry: "You have said so much, but you still haven't said how Aunt Xue left? Are you trying to cover up something by avoiding it all the time?"

"My mother is gone, and it's my fault." Gu Yong said sadly: "It's because I fed my mother too much. She was already fat and had high blood pressure, and now she is even fatter. I have to turn over Help her, at noon today, I slept for a while, and when I woke up, I came to see if my mother needed me to do anything, who knows, who knows, I saw her lying on the ground, she fell off the bed, The back of my head hit the ground, and by the time I found out, it was already too late, and I regretted it too..." Gu Yong said, crying uncontrollably.

Some of the villagers were moved to tears, and they whispered praises, "Aunt Xue has a good son" and "Gu Yong is such a dutiful son"...

Sister-in-law Shi saw that everyone praised Gu Yong, and shouted again: "This is all your one-sided words, who else has seen it? You have done something bad, but you still criticize a good person."

"I have no reason to harm my mother." Gu Yong said angrily.

"Of course you have a reason. Since you returned to Gu's Village, you haven't been the village chief, and you can't do farm work well. Aunt Xue scolded you every day at home, and many people heard it."

"For this reason, am I going to kill my mother? Then how am I different from a beast?"

"You are a beast, and you are not as good as a beast. Uncle Gu, you have been at home. Can you tell me how Aunt Xue died? You are a couple who have shared the same bed for decades. You have to give her a Tell me."

The villagers all turned their eyes to Gu Dezhi who had not spoken and kept the same posture.

Gu Liangliang looked at Gu Yong, and Gu Yong was looking at Gu Dezhi at this moment, his eyes were faintly filled with anxiety and prayer.

Gu Dezhi opened his mouth, shook his head, and lowered his head even more, in a gesture of refusing to talk to anyone.

Mrs. Shi yelled: "Uncle Gu didn't stand up to speak for you, Aunt Xue must have other causes of death."

"If you don't believe me, you can do the autopsy. My mother's brain is definitely bleeding. Why are you targeting me so much? How did I offend you? Do you want to slander me like this?"

"I slander you? Do it right, sit upright, if you want others to know, unless you do nothing, let me tell you, I have observed you for a long time, you are a wolf in human clothing, you can't do anything, My family, Gu Qian, was with you back then, why did you come back safely, but he died, causing me now..., causing me to live..." Mrs. Shi choked up and couldn't speak.

"You said to the outside world that your wife ran away with someone after the end of the world. I don't believe it. When you came back together, your wife liked you so much. How could she run away with someone just after the end of the world? How many truths are there? How many people have you killed? Tell me, tell me, did you kill my family, Gu Qian, your wife, and now your biological mother?"

Panic and embarrassment obviously flashed across Gu Yong's eyes, but he quickly calmed down, and said in a deep voice: "Sister-in-law Shi, your marriage is unlucky, you should find out the reason yourself, don't let others hurt you, what you just said I have never done anything like this. One of them is my good brother, my wife, and my mother. How could I harm the person closest to me! Your imagination is too rich, since you are a married couple Unlucky woman, I don't care about today's matter with you, you can take care of yourself in the future."

Mrs. Shi wanted to make trouble again, but was stopped by the village chief: "Okay, stop making trouble." She said and looked at Butcher Shi: "You still haven't brought your wife back!"

The stone butcher came over and dragged Mrs. Shi away.

"Everyone help, bury Aunt Xue!" Gu Gang arranged.

"Thank you folks, folks, Gu Yong bowed to everyone here, thank you for your helping hands." Gu Yong bowed to the folks with a grateful face.

Afterwards, everyone hurriedly carried Aunt Xue to the farmland for cremation.

As for the truth about Aunt Xue's death, maybe only the person involved will know forever.

But once the seeds of doubt are planted, it is difficult to uproot them. From that day on, the villagers inevitably have some suspicions about Gu Yong, and they always keep a distance from him. Gu Yong is struggling in Gujia Village.

Going back with the Yuan's family, Yuan Yumo and Yuan Yuyan seemed to be frightened, and walked quietly beside their parents.

And Qin Yufang, who always wanted to take advantage of Gu Leng, rarely remained silent.

The group of people tacitly did not talk about the affairs of Gu Yong's family, but in their hearts, the communication between people has added another layer of thick walls.

People are like iron, food is like steel, if you don't eat a meal, you will feel hungry.

After returning home, Gu Leng's stomach growled, and he ran to the space to pick a pear pad to cushion his stomach. After that, Gu Leng cooked a pot of fruit porridge without hesitation.

As for Xiao Qiao, he always kept in mind what Gu Leng said, that he likes to eat mille-feuille cakes, which is also his specialty, so he made a large piece of fragrant and delicious mille-feuille cakes with great effort.

The two worked hard all night, feasted and ate, and then fell asleep.

Being busy can make people forget their troubles and only hope that tomorrow will be a day of new hope.
