Seventy Buddha Cannon Fodder

When he saw Bai Xiaohua for the first time, Gu Mingdong's black pupils shrank slightly, and his keen intuition made him guard up.

Gu Jianguo waved to his niece, and said in his mouth: "The girl next to Shumei looks familiar—ah, I remembered, I asked her to bring the message last time."

Gu Mingdong asked, "What message?"

Gu Jianguo sighed: "At the beginning of spring, when your daughter-in-law passed away, the house was in chaos, so I went to the town to ask your aunt to come home and help her, but there was no one in your aunt's house, so I happened to meet this girl at the door. She said she was Shumei's good friend, so I asked her to leave a message."

But Gu Xiuxiu's family didn't go back later, and Gu Jianguo was busy with spring planting, so he forgot about it.

On the old Gu's side, Gu Mingdong didn't even think about it when he changed the core, but Gu's second brother and his group of children didn't think carefully.

These words startled Gu Mingdong, a line hidden under the water loomed.

Gu Mingdong felt strange last time, but he didn't think deeply about it.

When they visited Gu Xiuxiu's house last time, my sister-in-law didn't know anything about the situation in the old Gu's house. Obviously, the girl next to her cousin didn't pass on the message at all.

That's right, with Gu Xiuxiu's character, if she knew that Li Lijuan had passed away, she wouldn't just go back even if something happened to her family.

This is a big problem. He obviously agreed to bring a message, but the big news of life, old age, sickness and death was not delivered at all.

"Shumei, come here, I happen to need you for something." Gu Mingdong shouted loudly.

Sun Shumei felt that the atmosphere was awkward, and she had nothing to say to Bai Xiaohua, so she said happily, "Xiaohua, my cousin has something to do with me, so I'll go there first."

Bai Xiaohua grabbed her hand: "Your cousin? Why didn't I know you had a cousin?"

Her face was a little gloomy, but she didn't dare to look in Gu Mingdong's direction anymore, just now she glanced at her, but Bai Xiaohua was like a mouse being watched by a natural enemy, she just wanted to hide in her own hole.

Who is that man?

Sun Shumei paused, with doubts on her face: "how come you don't know, didn't I often tell you about my cousin's family before, the cousin who gave birth to a pair of twin sons."

Sun Shumei looked at Bai Xiaohua, and couldn't hide the strangeness in her eyes. The relationship between the two of them was very good. Sun Shumei only had one cousin, and she mentioned it quite frequently, but Bai Xiaohua seemed to have no impression at all.

"Oh, I remembered, it's that cousin..." Bai Xiaohua brushed her hair to cover up.

Sun Shumei smiled: "my cousin is still waiting for me, so I'll go there first."

After speaking, he ran towards the opposite side.

Bai Xiaohua stood at the door of the family building, her face was cloudy and uncertain. She searched her memory and couldn't find the part about Sun Shumei's cousin.

Yes, it must be so!

The real world is different from a book. In the book, she is just Sun Shumei's best friend, and her family background is all mentioned. Sun Shumei's cousin is definitely not important, so she doesn't remember.

Bai Xiaohua held the multicolored marble tightly, so hard that the marble even hurt her palm.

The stinging pain made Bai Xiaohua feel the truth and hope. She pursed her lips and smiled, holding the gold finger that she had worked so hard to grab, and walked upstairs happily.

Sun Shumei ran to the opposite side, sheaved a sigh of relief, and showed a bright smile: "Third Uncle, Cousin Adong, why did you come to town?"

Gu Jianguo was about to ask, "Shumei, did the girl next to you tell you..."

"Third Uncle, let's talk about this later." Gu Mingdong interrupted Gu Jianguo's words.

Gu Jianguo looked at the members around him, and felt that it was not good to talk about family affairs in front of the big guys, so he didn't ask.

But Sun Shumei felt strange and asked, "You mean Bai Xiaohua, what's wrong with her?"

"She is Bai Xiaohua?" Gu Mingdong was surprised from the bottom of his heart.

Sun Shumei nodded: "cousin, do you know her?"

Gu Mingdong narrowed his eyes, thinking that this coincidence was unbelievable. The city girl who was going to marry his neighbor Liu Dazhu was exactly this Bai Xiaohua. The Bai surname was rare, and it was impossible to have the same name.

Something is wrong with Bai Xiaohua!

Gu Mingdong was suspicious in his heart, but he didn't ask immediately. Instead, he smiled and invited: "Shumei, do you have anything to do later? If you have nothing to do, come with me to Shanghe Village. Our village has caught wild boars. We will eat pork at night."

When Sun Shumei heard about the wild pork, her saliva almost flowed down, but she still remembered her family members: "Let's forget it...my dad is still at home."

She couldn't let her mother take care of the house alone, but she went to the countryside to eat meat by herself.

Gu Mingdong said, "That's just right. I'll bring you back after you've finished eating, and I'll bring some wild pork over here so that my aunt and uncle and Sun Tao can try it too."

"But..." Sun Shumei ate the meat first, but she was not so firm in her refusal.

Gu Mingdong smiled and said, "Don't worry about it, that's the decision. There are not many opportunities to eat meat."

Gu Jianguo also chimed in: "Shumei, promise to eat more at night. Your mother has helped Adong so much. What's wrong with eating his meat?"

Sun Shumei nodded: "Then I'll tell you when I go home, lest my mother find me."

"Okay, we'll wait for you at the intersection."

Sun Shumei ran away like a rabbit, Gu Mingdong asked the rest of the production team to leave first, and stayed at the end to wait.

After a while, Sun Shumei ran over sweating profusely, with a bag in her hand: "Brother, this is my mother's own pickles. Stewed meat is the best."

Gu Mingdong remembered that his aunt was very good at pickling pickles, and he learned it from his dead mother.

He said with a smile: "Then we have a good night, you can take the car, I will push you back."

But Sun Shumei said: "No, I can walk. Don't think I'm small, I might actually walk."

It was okay just now, now there are only two cousins ​​left, Sun Shumei is inevitably a little cautious, there are several children in the uncle's family, she is actually the closest to the third and fourth children, and because of the age difference, she and Gu Mingdong usually don't have much to say.

"I used to go back to my mother's house with my mother during the Chinese New Year. Every time I walked back and forth by myself, I didn't need my parents to hug me at all."

Speaking of aunt and uncle, Gu Mingdong asked again: "How is uncle, is your health better?"

Sun Shumei's originally excited mood suddenly became heavy, she drooped her head and said, "It's still the same."

Since being paralyzed in the accident, her father has changed, he never smiles, and usually lies in the house and refuses to see anyone.

Seeing her downcast, Gu Mingdong didn't know how to comfort her for a while, and cursed himself that he shouldn't bring up this matter, so he could only say: "Wait for a chance to go to a big hospital in the city, maybe it can be cured."

"I hope." When the accident first happened, the Sun family expected to be cured and sought medical treatment everywhere, but now they have given up.

Gu Mingdong changed the subject: "By the way, there was a marble in the tin box you gave your second child last time. It looked pretty good, but I accidentally lost it when I was playing last time."

The beads have been turned into ashes, there is no way to return them to the cousin, Gu Mingdong can only make compensation from other places.

Sun Shumei didn't know what she had lost, but she didn't care: "It's okay, it's just a glass bead, which I picked up on the road."

"Did you pick it up? Where did you pick it up?" Gu Mingdong asked immediately.

"As far as the grass beside the road in front of our school, I don't know who lost it."

Gu Mingdong couldn't help being disappointed in his heart, so it would be difficult to find the source of the glass beads: "It's a pity, it looks very bright, and I plan to buy a few more for the children to play with."

Sun Shumei laughed: "Not all glass beads look similar, you can play with just a few of them."

"It's strange to say that I've been picking up that bead for more than a year. I threw it in the tin box and forgot that no one cared about it. Now that it's lost, everyone suddenly finds it's good."

Gu Mingdong's eyes changed: "Oh, who else thinks it's good?"

"Xiao Hua—that's the girl I was talking to just now. I used to ask her if she wanted it and she said no, but a few days ago she suddenly came to ask me for it. I like it."

Gu Mingdong narrowed his eyes, Bai Xiaohua really had a big problem, a glass bead, and it was a worthless glass bead picked up a year ago, normal people have long forgotten it.

But Bai Xiaohua deliberately came to ask for it, so there is only one possibility, she knows that the marble is not an ordinary glass bead.

The alarm bell sounded in Gu Mingdong's heart. Could it be that there are other supernatural beings in this world who know the mystery of that bead?

He hid the suspicion in his heart, and asked along the words: "It's my fault that I accidentally lost the bead, did it cause you two to have conflicts?"

Sun Shumei smiled slyly, and said proudly: "I bought an identical one for her, and everyone is happy."

Gu Mingdong was taken aback, then laughed, yes, he knew that the marble was special, so it was unique, but in Sun Shumei's eyes, it was just an ordinary and worthless glass bead.

I don't know if Bai Xiaohua will be mad when she finds out the truth.

Gu Mingdong "kindly" suggested: "Then you can't tell her that the beads are newly bought and have different meanings."

Sun Shumei smiled and said, "Of course, I can't be so stupid."

The two were chatting and laughing, but they quickly caught up with the main force.

The commune members were all thinking about eating meat, so they walked back and forth, and it was only noon when they returned to the Shanghe Village production team.

But at this time, the smell of meat was already wafting in the village. Obviously, after killing the pigs and receiving the meat, the big guys went home and stewed it immediately.

Sun Shumei hadn't eaten meat since the accident at home, so she couldn't help swallowing now.

Gu Mingdong brought him to the door, and suddenly remembered that he hadn't told his cousin about something.

"Shumei, I have something to tell you first."

Sun Shumei's mind was on the flesh, and she asked casually, "What's the matter?"

"At the beginning of spring, Lijuan was seriously ill and didn't get over it." Gu Mingdong said bluntly.

Sun Shumei let out an oh, and walked a few steps before she came back to her senses: "What? Cousin, she, she, she... why did she go suddenly. "

Li Lijuan married in late, and Sun Shumei only saw her a few times during the holidays, but now she was very surprised to hear that, and felt sad in her heart, but she was more worried about her cousin's family.

Gu Mingdong talked about his wife's affairs one by one. In fact, there was nothing to talk about. It was nothing more than a long-term illness, but he couldn't get enough to eat when he encountered a famine, and he couldn't make it through after a few years.

The matter that made the original owner feel so miserable and devastated, but when it came to Gu Mingdong, it was just a past event, and when he brought it up again, his mood was calm and calm.

"Cousin, are you okay with the child? Why don't you tell my mother about such a big matter..."

At that time, Gu Mingdong hadn't time-traveled yet. After time-traveling, he only wanted to buy food and eat meat, so he didn't remember to tell his aunt.

If Gu Laoer hadn't mentioned it, Gu Mingdong would have completely forgotten that he still has an aunt.

Gu Mingdong sighed, and just said: "It's all over, there is some misunderstanding inside, I will tell you slowly later."

"Let's go in and eat."

"It just so happens that I have something else to tell you. You must be surprised to hear it."

Sun Shumei followed in, thinking in her heart that there was something that surprised her more than the death of her cousin.
