It was Gu Zheng's mother who came to open the door. Seeing this, she only approved a coat and the shoes on her feet hadn't been worn. She just pulled it, and hurriedly came over to open the door for Gu Zheng.

And as soon as the door of this room opened, even if there were no lights in the room, just relying on the dim light of the moonlight outside, the old lady Gu, who was standing opposite to Gu Zheng, knew clearly that the vague figure in front of him was her. Baby.

With a trembling hand, she fumbled to Gu Zheng's face. After carefully holding it up and down, she hurriedly pulled Gu Zheng into the house.

Then, as if remembering something, I nervously poked my head out and looked around for a while. Seeing that there was no noise in the surrounding neighborhood, I took a breath and carefully gave the door to my house. After covering it up, with inexplicable excitement, he turned his head and looked in the direction where Gu Zheng came in.

And the old man in the house didn't light up the lamp. This middle-aged man, with rare wisdom, sat on the kang, beckoned to Gu Zheng, pointed to the stool next to the kang, and whispered: " Sit down first and talk about it, why did you come back this time?"

And how could Gu Zheng be polite? He quickly found his place to stay, sat down, and gave the old mother who returned later to the Kang, before he fully explained his experience on the dam.

Of course, his own post-processing is also added to this. In order to show the cruelty of the current emperor and the various chaos that will appear in the future, he has to exaggerate the explanation.

After Gu Zheng had finished talking about the process before and after, his father hadn't spoken yet, so his mother shed tears on the side.

"My son, our old Gu's family is just your grown-up baby, that is, you are filial, and you have to replace your father and go up to the dam to perform the corvee."

"It's fine now, ten people who went, nine died, but my son is suffering."

But the old man on the side wanted to think more. He frowned and continued to ask: "We have gone out in the village for dozens of people. Tell me the truth, how much is left?"

What Gu Zheng told his father was the data of the client's life: "This time the river is completed, the people in my village will not let them come back, and they will be pulled directly to the Yongji section of the river to continue the repair. he."

"If my estimate is good, it will take another three years."

"As far as I know, when I escaped, the imperial court dismantled my fellow villagers and went to work in order to fear that we might be linked together."

"But as far as I heard, more than ten people have died in our village."

"People die on this dam every day, especially in the mines. More people die."

"If the son doesn't run away, I'm afraid he won't be able to come back after three years."

Father Gu sighed after listening, "I'm afraid I will die on the dam..."

"No." Gu Zheng shook his head a little heavy: "If it were just to repair the canal, the whole army in our village would not be destroyed."

"Father, I heard that the court will still use soldiers."

Hearing this, Father Gu was taken aback and returned without serious consideration: "How many years has the court stabilized? Isn't it the use of foreign troops every day?"

"But this time is different." Gu Zheng's expression was a bit solemn: "This time the canal is repaired for the final use of troops."

"A river canal built by the power of the whole country, for what scale of war, father, this is not what farmers like us can imagine."

"I'm afraid that the tens of millions of people who died in the **** repair will have to go to the battlefield to fill the emperor's life for those who survive in the end."

Hearing Daddy Gu here, her hand trembled, and the girl next to me was slightly excited and grabbed Gu Zheng's hand, turned her head and said to Daddy Gu: "We can't let our son go to death. ."

"His father, think of an idea quickly."

The family members who watched this room stared at him with scorching eyes. Old Gu groaned for a while, suffocating his plan word by word.

"Son, don't show up. No one has come here for so many days. I think it's because the embankment has been suppressed for some reason."

"You must not reveal your whereabouts. If you are true to your words, when your dam is completed, there will be a second appropriation in this village."

"I can't stay in this place."

"You are like this, do you remember the dilapidated valley hut that I pointed you to when I took you into the mountains when I was young?"

"Nobody has been there for so many years, you go and clean up first."

"If these few people in our family disappeared together at this moment, it would be too easy to arouse people's suspicion."

"When we are ready in the village, we will find you in the mountains."

"Everything inside and outside the house is easy to clean up."

"Isn't it saying that we will continue to build the dam? At that time, there will be people in the village to recruit people. At that time, your father and I will not run away. Taking advantage of the fact that no one pays attention, we will start to clean up."

"This second uncle Gu is a calm temper. He followed you to the mountains. I feel a little more at ease in my heart. The second uncle Gu's home must have entered the mountains and forests before ours. Zhengzi, you are strong and strong. Yes, you will have to take care of it when the time comes, the second uncle and his family."

Hearing such Gu Zheng, he clicked and promised: "Don't worry, dad, tomorrow morning, I will meet my second uncle on the mountain road, and keep the outside clean."

Some details can't be explained even at this point in the evening. A family of three, full of panic and unknown thoughts, barely closed their eyes and fell asleep.

Because of something in his heart, Gu Zheng got up very early, for fear of causing trouble for his family. Gu Zheng, who was laying on the floor underneath before dawn, stared at his shoes and socks.

The not-so-large movement alarmed the old lady on the Kang, she was a little anxious and prevented Gu Zheng from going out like this.

"Zheng baby, why did you leave so early, just wait, don't panic, mother will give you all the food."

After speaking, a press on Gu Zheng’s shoulder prevented him from doing any further action. He pulled his hair indiscriminately, opened the door, and plunged into the stove room on the side of the courtyard. The smoke of cooking rose from it.

Taking advantage of this meeting, Father Gu packed up some old clothes that Gu Zheng could use, tied it up with his own sackcloth rope, and began to tidy up the small tools that he could use when entering the mountains at home. stand up.

The hatchet used to clean up the wood and prey, the digging roots, the shovel in the dirt pit, and the rattan baskets for holding things.

There are only such valuable things in the house, and in a hurry, I can't think of it for a while.

"Take it, you're already home, you're a little tired, just run a few more trips by yourself."

"Hey!"

Gu Zheng stuffed the objects into the basket, headed out the door, and waited in the courtyard for the first meal of hometown food made by Mrs. Gu after returning home.

...

Huang Cancan’s big pancakes are crispy and fragrant. I am afraid that they will be tasteless. When they are out of the pan, Gu Lao Niang took out a slow bean paste with bamboo chopsticks, and evenly spread it on top. Zhang pancake becomes a delicious homemade pancake with fillings.

At the bottom of the large vat between the stoves, the corn noodles that I would not be willing to eat very much during the day were scooped up by the old lady Gu, but Gu Zheng looked at his own old lady and resisted the half-inch-thick big vat. On his shoulders, he poured the little scum left over onto the kitchen chopping board.

Seeing this, Gu Zheng did a feat he would never do in his life.

He and Gu Lao Niang who handed him the food turned out to reject each other.

"Mother, don't give it to me. You and my father also save some. There are two small ones in the family. You may not be able to eat the fine noodles for the Chinese New Year. You also give them two pancakes to try?"

But regardless of whether she is partial, the two little ones have been by the side of her family. Whoever gets the same as Gu Zheng, who is less than eighteen, will suffer such a serious crime.

After entering the mountain, some people are still affected~www.wuxiaspot.com~ a few pancakes. In the future, their eldest brother will settle down, can we still have a few pancakes for them at home?

So regardless of Gu Zheng’s protest, Gu Lao Niang directly circled the pancake into a big roll, put it into Gu Zheng’s arms with the hot temperature, and said: "Hurry up, the first few days are the worst. , Eat something good to resist the past."

"Then the second uncle Gu's family is sad, and you will share a share at that time. The folks in this village are supposed to help each other."

"become!"

Gu Zheng grinned and endured the hot feeling in his arms, and looked around left and right. After this small courtyard that made him dream about, he picked up an axe in the corner of the courtyard and put it on his back. Supporting the wall with both hands, he overcame the courtyard wall, and took advantage of the fog to jump towards the vast mountains and forests.

Along the way, Gu Zheng couldn't help but look back. This is his home in this world. How long have you not experienced this kind of taste?

Thinking of Gu Zheng here, he laughed inexplicably, as if there was some uncontrollable emotion in his chest that made him resonate with joy...

The **** of the mountain forest was right in front of him, and when Gu Zheng looked back subconsciously, the morning mist in the small village had been faintly dissipated for a long time.

The cooking smoke from every household rises intermittently, and the small courtyard belonging to Gu Zheng's house is half of the door open at this time.

The two little heads, which were almost unable to see the outline, peeked out their own traces one by one, not knowing how they noticed it. The direction they were looking at was the place where Gu Zheng was about to disappear.

"Ah."

This may be the client's younger siblings, right?

Seeing that, I'm afraid I've found my eldest brother's traces a long time ago, but adhering to the principle of not asking about his family, he can only lie at the door and secretly wait and see.
