Seventy Buddha Cannon Fodder

In the middle of the night, Gu Jianguo definitely couldn't knock on the door if there was nothing serious.

Gu Mingdong didn't even have time to fasten his clothes, so he walked over and opened the door: "Third Uncle, what's the matter?"

At this time, Second Brother Gu also poked his head out: "Uncle Third, what are you doing in the middle of the night?"

Gu Jianguo gasped and looked anxious: "It's too late to elaborate, get dressed and follow me, we'll talk on the way."

"Where are you going?" Gu Mingdong followed hurriedly out the door.

Second brother Gu subconsciously wanted to follow, Gu Mingdong waved his hand: "Go back and look at my sister and child."

Second brother Gu wanted to object at first, but when he thought about what happened during the day, he also felt that it was not safe to leave his sister and child alone at home, so he stayed behind and did not follow.

"Go to Wang Mazi's house."

Gu Jianguo said as he walked: "An accident happened at Wang Mazi's house. His wife knocked out Liu Dazhu and ran away. They said he ran up the mountain. It's not that you are familiar with the mountain. The captain asked me to call you to go up the mountain together to find someone. "

Gu Mingdong was shocked by the amount of information in just one sentence.

"What's the situation? Liu Dazhu is getting married today, how could Wang Mazi's wife knock him out?"

Not only Gu Mingdong was surprised, Gu Jianguo was also confused when he was called up in the middle of the night.

Since Wang Mazi was arrested and sent to the farm for labor reform for stealing grain, his wife's sense of presence in the village has become even lower, and she is usually invisible outside of work.

Du Pingping has a bad background and has no relatives or friends in the village, not even a close relationship with her neighbors, so she lives like an invisible person.

However, the atmosphere of the production team in Dahe Village was not bad, everyone was not close to her, and no one made things difficult for no reason.

But tonight, Liu Dazhu, who was supposed to be a wedding night in the bridal chamber, ran to Wang Mazi's house for some reason, and was knocked unconscious in the yard.

It was the neighbor next door who heard the movement, felt something was wrong and got up to take a look, only to find that he was lying outside, otherwise something must have happened due to freezing in such a cold day.

Liu Dazhu fainted, but Wang Mazi's daughter-in-law disappeared, and no one could be found outside the house.

Gu Mingdong followed Gu Jianguo to the door of Wang Mazi's house, and saw a circle of people, men and women, all with mysterious expressions on their faces.

The shriveled old Liu standing inside had a bitter face, his back was a little hunched, and he secretly cursed what this was called.

Liu Dazhu had already been pinched awake, and insisted: "I'm so happy today, I sleepwalked around at night, who knew that I met Wang Mazi and his wife who was stealing, and it was those adulterers who knocked me out. It will definitely run away in a while."

"Uncle, she must have been stealing people. If I hadn't been smashed tonight, we would all have been deceived."

It doesn't matter whether others believe it or not, anyway, Gu Mingdong doesn't believe it.

The shriveled old Liu didn't really believe it, and he never heard that Liu Dazhu could sleepwalk before. Besides, his wife is not dead, and he didn't know that the man next to him just married is gone?

He wondered in his heart whether his nephew was having an affair with Wang Mazi's daughter-in-law, but after thinking about it, it was unlikely. Du Pingping was beautiful when she was young, but she was destroyed by Wang Mazi long ago and turned into a yellow flower of yesterday. A young man like Liu Dazhu can see it. fuck her?

Besides, even if Liu Dazhu had an affair with Du Pingping, it was impossible for him to come for a private meeting on the wedding night.

But Liu Dazhu is his nephew, and the old Liu skipped this question.

He didn't ask further, but looked at Gu Mingdong: "Ah Dong, look at the footprints, they ran up the mountain, you are familiar with the mountain, can you take someone to look for it?"

Gu Mingdong made it difficult: "Captain, going up the mountain in the middle of the night is very dangerous."

The memory of the original owner flashed in his head. At that time, Du Pingping didn't disappear until the Chinese New Year, and Wang Mazi was killed before she disappeared, but now everything is ahead of schedule.

What caused Du Pingping to leave early?

The shriveled old Liu's face became even more bitter: "Then I have to look for it."

Someone in the crowd shouted: "What are you looking for? The landlord's wife must be determined to run away with the wild man after seeing Wang Mazi in the labor camp."

In the middle of the night, and it was still winter, the men didn't want to go up the mountain, and they all said, "Run away, she's not my wife anyway."

"That's right, why are you looking for her? It's better to run away, so as not to spoil the atmosphere of our brigade."

"If we find her, she might still refuse to come back."

The shriveled old Liu scolded: "If this story gets out, the reputation of our Shanghe village production team will be ruined. Regardless of whether she is alive or dead, we must find her first and find out what happened."

"Wang Mazi is in a labor camp, not dead. What if he comes back and sees that he's gone and starts a fight?"

"No matter what, the person still has to find it first, and when the **** is found, it should be reformed through labor."

After all, what he worried about was the reputation of the production team.

Liu Dazhu lowered his head, hiding the panic in his eyes.

Gu Mingdong glanced at him, and said, "Captain, it's not impossible if you must look for it, but people have been running for so long, it's hard to say whether they can find it."

He suspected in his heart that Liu Dazhu's family took all their savings and borrowed money to barely stabilize Du Pingping and not ruin his marriage.

But during the day, a group of people blocked Widow Liu for debts, and Bai Xiaohua paid back all the dowry money, which naturally aroused Liu Dazhu's dissatisfaction in his heart.

Liu Dazhu appeared here tonight, he must have wanted to get the money back, and maybe he was planning to use some method to silence Du Pingping.

Gu Mingdong thought about it for a second, and made a good guess about this matter.

At this moment, Liu Dazhu was the one who was most afraid of Du Pingping being caught. Once Du Pingping came back, the villagers would know about Wang Mazi and Widow Liu, and even the scandalous things he did tonight.

Under the urging of the brigade captain, Old Liu, the members were reluctant to light torches and walked up the mountain.

It is dangerous to go up the mountain at night, and a group of people have resentment: "The captain said it was easy, but in the middle of the night, let's go up the mountain to find someone who will be responsible if we bump into someone."

Gu Mingdong was happy to see that they were dissatisfied, and persuaded: "The captain is also for the reputation of our village."

"What a shame, I think that Liu Dazhu is having an affair with Wang Mazi's wife, otherwise he would be running around in the middle of the night."

As soon as the words came out, someone responded immediately: "Isn't it? Maybe Wang Mazi's daughter-in-law is not the only one with him. Tonight, the two bumped into each other, and that's why they started fighting. Liu Dazhu has never hit anyone before."

"Impossible, Wang Mazi's wife is many years older than Liu Dazhu, besides, Liu Dazhu married a daughter-in-law today, and she is still from the city."

"Then tell me why he went to Wang Mazi's house in the middle of the night, no one would believe him when he said he was sleepwalking, he lied to people and ghosts."

"The captain likes to shield his own people. I don't think Liu Dazhu's style is decent."

"Hey, who do you think the other adulterer is?"

The topic became more and more indescribable, and some people even started talking about Du Pingping's private meeting with others, as if they were hiding under someone's bed and heard it.

Gu Mingdong didn't get involved, he just listened and found that most of the villagers were dissatisfied with the old Liu.

The production team of Shanghe Village is a village with mixed surnames, among which the surname Liu is the most. This is also related to the fact that old Liu can become the team leader.

But now, more and more people are dissatisfied with the thin old Liu, thinking that he is not worthy of being the captain, and his words are becoming less and less effective.

After walking for a while, several villagers sat down and refused to leave: "Adong, let's sit down and have a rest."

Gu Mingdong said in embarrassment: "If this person is in the mountains, I'm afraid he will run away."

Li Tiezhu also came along, cursing: "Anyway, we can't catch up, so let's not waste our energy in vain."

"Besides, people don't necessarily run to the mountains, and they might have already left the village by other roads."

There was a lot of chatter, and the left and right refused to leave.

Some people even said: "Hey, you daughter-in-law of the Wang family, you keep chasing, I can't walk anymore, so I have to rest first."

The Wang family refused: "Don't talk nonsense, our family has nothing to do with Wang Mazi's family."

Seeing that no one was found, they were about to quarrel, Gu Mingdong said: "Everyone is tired from walking, why don't you take a rest here, I will look around, I can find the best, and I can follow if I can't find it." Commander, tell me."

Immediately someone agreed: "This is a good idea. Ah Dong is familiar with the mountains, so it's useless to follow if he can't find us."

It was Li Tiezhu who asked: "Adong, let me go with you. If there is any trouble, there will be someone to take care of you."

Gu Mingdong had his own plans, so he naturally wouldn't agree: "No need, I'm walking fast alone, if something happens, I'll yell loudly, and you all come to help quickly."

Li Tiezhu had no choice but to agree.

When Gu Mingdong's figure disappeared into the woods, Li Tiezhu couldn't help but said: "In terms of being a man, the old Gu family is good. Let's not mention how fair the scorekeeper is. Adong is also good. He always does more and gets less. Never take advantage of others."

As soon as this was said, the villagers who had eaten wild pork all agreed, and they all felt that the people of the old Gu family were more authentic than the old Liu family, unlike the head of the brigade who wanted to bully his own family, the trouble this time was caused by Liu Dazhu.

Gu Mingdong left the crowd and walked in one direction with a clear purpose.

Soon, he stopped and snorted coldly, "Come out!"

There was no sound in the darkness, Gu Mingdong looked towards the place where the Tibetans were: "If you don't come out, I'll just call them over."

There was a rustling sound, and a figure stepped out of the darkness.

Du Pingping was only wearing a cotton padded jacket, obviously the accident tonight was not beyond her expectations.

Walking out of the hiding place, Du Pingping knelt down with a thud: "Adong, please let me go, auntie. I have never done anything harmful, but if I am caught back, I really have no way out."

"I beg you, I beg you." After speaking, he kowtowed vigorously.

Gu Mingdong would not believe her pitiful appearance, because he clearly sensed that there was a man hiding in the dark, a man with hidden weapons ready to go!

He narrowed his eyes: "Liu Dazhu said he caught you having an affair with someone, where is that person?"

Du Pingping was taken aback, raised her head and called Qu: "He lied, obviously he saw that there was no man in my family, and wanted to take advantage of me. I knocked him out to protect myself."

"Oh, is that so? In this case, why do you run away? The captain will make the decision for you."

Du Pingping smiled wryly and said, "I'm the daughter of a landlord with a poor background, but he's the captain's nephew. If there's a quarrel, I'll know who is more unlucky. I don't want to be paraded around the streets like a broken shoe, so I have to run away."

As he spoke, he began to cry: "Adong, you have poor poor aunt. I was not born well, but I didn't choose my birth. I have never harmed anyone. I have been beaten and suffered a lot with Wang Mazi all these years. Just act like you're doing your best to let me go, and pretend you didn't see me, okay?"

"I promise, no one will know."

The singing and writing were excellent, if he hadn't seen Du Pingping threatening Liu Dazhu, Gu Mingdong would almost have thought that he was facing a helpless and pitiful woman.

He raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked into the darkness: "Who is the man hiding there?"

The crying face froze, Du Pingping didn't expect Gu Mingdong to see someone in the dark.

She still wanted to argue, but she heard footsteps behind her, and the man came out step by step: "How did you find out?"

Gu Mingdong glanced at his right hand, which held a knife: "I'm cheating on you."

The man didn't act rashly, but just looked at Gu Mingdong by the moonlight.

He didn't know Gu Mingdong, but when he took a closer look, he felt startled. The man in front of him, Shi Shiran, was standing there, but with an aura that made his heart skip a beat, so he didn't dare to do it directly.

If Du Pingping didn't know him, the man would almost have thought that he was a ruthless character in the army who had been stained with human blood.

In such a remote place as Dahe Village, how could there be such a person who didn't look like a farmer's child at all.

The man said in a deep voice, "What do you want?"

"If you want to report us, you can call someone just now, but you didn't, so what do you want?"

Du Pingping also got up, and repeatedly said seductively: "Adong, Auntie has money here, as long as you are willing to let us go, we will give it to you."

As he spoke, he took out a cloth bag from his pocket, which was full of bits and pieces of banknotes.

"There's a lot of money here, you take it all, and buy some delicious food for your younger siblings and children, just treat them as my aunt, and pretend you didn't see us, okay?"

Gu Mingdong didn't even look at it: "I can let you go."

Du Pingping was overjoyed: "I can give you all the money."

"I don't want your money either." Gu Mingdong continued, "I hope that after you leave, you can send me a letter in a safe place."

Du Pingping's face darkened: "What letter?"

Gu Mingdong continued: "It proves what happened tonight and the relationship between Wang Mazi and the Liu family."

Du Pingping was startled by these words: "You know all about it."

On the contrary, the man was very calm, nodded and said: "Deal."

Gu Mingdong didn't talk nonsense with her anymore, turned around and walked in the direction he came from.

Ever since he discovered this couple, Gu Mingdong had no intention of reporting it at all. What good would reporting do to him?It is more useful to stay.

The existence of Bai Xiaohua has always made Gu Mingdong vigilant. Now that she is married to the Liu family as a daughter-in-law, the two families are still neighbors. Rather than reporting Du Pingping, he hopes to keep a big handle on the Liu family.

With the handle in his hand, if something goes wrong next door, he can ensure that the old Gu's family will spend those ten years in peace!

As for ten years later, Gu Mingdong doesn't think he still needs to be wary of people like Liu Dazhu and Bai Xiaohua.

Seeing that Gu Mingdong really walked away without turning his head, Du Pingping was still in a daze: "Is he just letting us go like this?"

The man also breathed a sigh of relief: "He is a smart man, knowing that we are caught will not do him any good. On the contrary, it is a big advantage that you are alive."

Du Pingping gritted her teeth: "Brother, do I really want to send him a letter then?"

The man only said: "We will talk about it after we ensure our safety."

The two supported each other and walked away. Du Pingping asked again: "If he wanted to expose the Liu family's scandal, why didn't he send a letter directly to the town?"

"What he wants is the handle, not the exposure now."

Seeing that Du Pingping was sweating profusely, the man wanted to stop for a rest, but Du Pingping gritted her teeth and insisted: "Brother, there is no need to rest. Let's continue walking. I don't feel at ease if I don't leave here."

The man sighed: "Originally, I planned to leave after the Chinese New Year, and there will be more time then. Who knew that a group of human traffickers came to the town. Right now, the whole Xiyuan Town is going door-to-door to check letters of introduction. I can only bring them in advance. you go."

"It doesn't matter, as long as you can leave here, it doesn't matter if it's earlier or later." Du Pingping said firmly.

After finishing speaking, she said helplessly: "It's just a pity that we can't take away the things my father hid in the mountains this time."

The man comforted: "Things are dead, but people are alive. If you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about firewood."

"Yes, we will find it when we come back when we have a chance in the future." Du Pingping glanced back at Dashan, and left without hesitation.

When Gu Mingdong went back, the villagers saw him and asked, "Have you found anyone?"

Gu Mingdong shook his head.

Everyone didn't have any hope. After a while, they got up and searched for a while, but they didn't even find a hair at dawn, so they simply went down the mountain.

In the production team, everyone has already woken up.

Such a big incident happened in the team, the big guys didn't even bother to eat breakfast, and they all gathered around Wang Mazi's house to watch the fun.

The shriveled old Liu wanted to avoid people asking what happened to his eldest nephew, but Gu Jianguo stood there like a stone statue, making him swallow his words.

Liu Dazhu killed himself sleepwalking and was the victim.

Widow Liu and Bai Xiaohua also rushed over. The latter's face was very ugly. Seeing Liu Dazhu's inexplicable expression, Widow Liu was also terrified. No one else knew. She didn't know that her son didn't sleepwalk at all, but she didn't dare to say anything. .

Hearing the discussions from the people around her, Widow Liu bit her bullet and said, "Da Zhu has this problem since he was a child. He is prone to sleepwalking when he encounters great joy and sorrow. He used to just hang around at home, but he ran out last night. .”

After speaking, he pulled his daughter and hit her: "I asked you to close the door last night, did you forget?"

Liu Aihua felt wronged in her heart, and nodded with tears in her eyes.

Widow Liu quickly said: "It's because Aihua forgot to close the door that this incident happened, and my Dazhu suffered."

"Is it true?" the villager asked suspiciously.

Widow Liu categorically shouted: "Of course it's true, but my childhood problems can still be fake."

After speaking, he looked at his daughter-in-law with a gloomy face: "Xiao Hua, don't forget to take it to heart."

Bai Xiaohua reluctantly twitched the corners of her mouth, she was so tired last night that she fell asleep, who knew that the man would be gone when she woke up.

Hearing that it was Wang Mazi's daughter-in-law who had the accident, Bai Xiaohua's face became even more disturbed, because in the book, Wang Mazi's daughter-in-law was a ruthless character, and when she reappeared after disappearing this time, she was a well-known Hong Kong businessman.

Du Pingping's roles are not too many, it just passed by in a flash, and she had an intersection with Liu Dazhu, who was already a rich man at that time.

When she was reading the book, she felt that there was something wrong with Liu Dazhu and this Du Pingping, and now it seemed that it was so.

Bai Xiaohua vomited to death from the bottom of her heart, Liu Dazhu, a young man, actually had an affair with an old woman, and even sneaked out on their wedding night.

But soon, Bai Xiaohua suppressed her breath, so what if she had an affair, she was Liu Dazhu's daughter-in-law.

Bai Xiaohua showed a gentle smile, and walked to Liu Dazhu's side to comfort her: "Brother Dazhu, you must have been terrified last night. It's all because I slept too deeply, and I didn't realize you were gone."

With a flash in Liu Dazhu's eyes, he thought to himself that it was fortunate that Bai Xiaohua liked her wholeheartedly, and was easy to be fooled: "It's not your fault, I haven't committed this problem for many years, and I didn't tell you, it's all because I was too happy last night."

The young couple held hands with a touch of tenderness and sweetness. The women around who judged that the new daughter-in-law would make a fuss were amazed, and secretly thought that this was some kind of bewilderment.

At this moment, someone shouted, "Ah Dong and the others are back."

Liu Dazhu's heart tightened, and he grabbed Bai Xiaohua's hand, and the latter exclaimed in pain.

But Liu Dazhu didn't care about her anymore, he got up and walked in the direction of Gu Mingdong and the others, and he was relieved when he saw that there was no Du Pingping in the team.

Facing the inquiries from the villagers, Gu Mingdong shook his head and said, "I haven't found it after searching all night."

People who went up the mountain said one after another: "I have searched all over the mountains and plains, and I haven't even seen a single person."

"Maybe he ran up the mountain and out of the village."

The shriveled old Liu frowned and said, "Impossible, isn't she afraid of being caught walking from the entrance of the village to the town? Now she can't go anywhere without a letter of introduction."

Gu Jianguo said, "Captain, since no one has been found, should we report this to the police first and let the police send someone to look for it?"

"No!" Liu Dazhu shouted suddenly.

Bai Xiaohua's eyes darkened. She thought that Liu Dazhu liked Du Pingping from the bottom of her heart, so she didn't want her to be arrested.

"Why not, this kind of flirtatious woman is a broken shoe, so she should be caught and paraded through the streets." She sneered.

Liu Dazhu glared at her, feeling for the first time that the new daughter-in-law doesn't know how to look at her.

As the eldest nephew of the old Liu, Liu Dazhu knew what his uncle was thinking, and hurriedly said: "We haven't caught anyone and there is no substantive evidence. It is said that catching thieves, catching stolen goods and adultery is a double. If the police find someone, she won't admit it." , let's stop making false accusations?"

Someone shouted, "Aren't you a witness?"

"Fellow folks, please listen to my analysis first. This matter itself is ugly enough. It is difficult for the girls in our production team to talk about their in-laws." Liu Dazhu's words really changed the minds of the surrounding villagers.

"Uncle, anyway, as you said, she can't go anywhere without a letter of introduction. She might come back by herself in a few days. When she can't survive outside and comes back, it won't be too late for us to interrogate her." Liu Dazhu said again .

When the old Liu heard it, he felt it made sense: "It's also the same reason, it's almost the Chinese New Year, if there is trouble, the big guys will not have a good time this year."

"Our production team risked their lives to go up the mountain to kill the evil, and just got the praise from the top. Now that this incident has caused a lot of jokes, this year's advanced elements may be gone."

"How about doing what Dazhu said first, what do you think?"

Most of the villagers thought about it, and felt that there was no need to bother, and no one would benefit from the trouble.

Only Bai Xiaohua was indignant, but she glanced at Liu Dazhu, she didn't dare to offend him, she only thought that when she gave birth to a child and her position was stable, she must make that old woman look good in the future!

Gu Jianguo felt that it was inappropriate, but he alone could not convince most people, so he had to agree.

Seeing that he had nothing to do, Gu Mingdong simply went home.

The brothers and sisters also heard about what happened last night. When the second brother saw him, he asked, "Brother, then Liu Dazhu and Wang Mazi's daughter-in-law..."

Gu Mingdong stopped his remaining words with a look.

The second brother Gu glanced at the two sisters who didn't know, and forced to change the conversation: "I really didn't expect this kind of thing to happen."

"Yeah, who would have thought of that." Gu Mingdong hoped that Du Pingping would keep the promise and send the letter to him. Of course, if she couldn't do it, she had other ways.

Gu Simei was worried about another thing: "The captain is really serious. It's so dangerous to let the eldest brother go up the mountain in the middle of the night. The cotton clothes are soaked."

"Brother, take it off, and I'll hang it up for you."

Gu Mingdong didn't think there was anything wrong with a little wet clothes, but Gu Simei refused, so he had to take off his clothes and get under the bed, otherwise his sister would keep nagging.

"Cotton clothes are not easy to dry, brother, I will take them apart first, and then sew them on after they are dry."

As soon as Fourth Sister Gu walked away with her wet clothes on her front feet, Second Brother Gu slipped in on her back feet.

As soon as he came in, he threw himself on the bed: "Brother, my dear brother, please tell me what happened."

As soon as Gu Mingdong saw him like that, he knew that he didn't want to be clean if he didn't make it clear, so he had to explain the truth of the matter in short and short terms, without mentioning that he had found someone.

After hearing this, Second Brother Gu patted his thigh and scolded: "I already knew that Liu Dazhu is not a good guy."

"Brother, do you think it's because Liu Dazhu couldn't come up with the money, so he killed someone to silence him?" He said and made a murderous gesture.

Gu Mingdong said lightly: "He should not be so courageous, Du Pingping really ran away by herself."

Second brother Gu wondered: "But where can she go, now she can't even buy a train ticket without a letter of introduction."

Gu Mingdong rolled his eyes: "Your brother, I'm not a fortune teller, so how do I know where she can go?"

Second brother Gu's heart itch when he didn't know it, and it got even worse after he knew it: "Brother, is it so cheap Liu Dazhu?"

Gu Mingdong sneered: "Cheap? Just watch, their house is quite lively."

Gu Mingdong noticed Bai Xiaohua's strange expression just now before she could practice.

Just as Gu Mingdong expected, Bai Xiaohua could still put on a show outside, but when she got home, she couldn't help but get angry! .
