Mountain People

Gu Shuixiu in the bedroom listened carefully to the movement outside, made sure that Gu Mingde and Mrs Zhao had calmed down and then heaved a sigh of relief, turned to look at the two children on the bed, only to find that Dong Qinyan was open Staring at her with big bright eyes, seeing that she found it, the little girl showed a sleepy smile and asked in a hoarse voice, "Mother, did grandfather and grandmother quarrel?"

Gu Shuixiu gently touched Dong Qinyan's little head, shook her head lovingly, and said softly, "It's just a bickering, it's already reconciled, Niuniu don't have to worry about it, hurry to sleep."

Dong Qinyan just listened to everything outside, and she could probably guess what Gu Mingde and Zhao were arguing about. In fact, in her opinion, Gu Mingde and Zhao were already They are excellent parents, at least they don't have such serious patriarchal intentions, and they dote on their own mother in every possible way. Just listening to Zhao's meaning, Dong Qinyan couldn't help but envy her mother.

Not to mention the talented Dong Yuanxu who is both civil and military, the witty and agile Dong Yuanxu, or the calm and reserved, dark-bellied Dong Yuanjie, is the naughty and mischievous third brother Dong Yuanzheng, his mind is also faster than others, or he would not be able to get rid of Gu Shuixiu often. .

But her mother is happy, she will be happier as a daughter, thinking like this, Dong Qinyan slept sweetly, her little face full of satisfaction.

In the early morning of the next day, Gu Shuixiu and Dong Qinyan were still sleeping, and Dong Yuanzheng had sneaked out of the house. Did you get dressed? After successfully slipping out of the room, she jumped twice with joy.

Finding that the sound was too loud, she quickly shrank back, and after a long time, she didn't hear any other movement, and then she ran out of the inner courtyard with ease.

In the courtyard, Mr. Zhao was poking beans in the sun, and beside it was the mustard greens that had just been spread out. It was used to pickle pickles after drying.

Dong Yuanzheng didn't dare to be interested in these things, so he looked through the yard and found nothing interesting, so he ran out of Gu's house while Zhao was not paying attention.

When I got outside, the little guy was stunned, surrounded by trees and fields and people, which direction should I go? It happened that there was a tall longan tree not far from Gu's house. The tree was full of dense longan trees. Because there were many longan trees and lychee trees in the village, there would not be a situation where everyone would steal the fruit as soon as it came to fruition. Children in the village would do something like this, and adults would turn a blind eye.

After all, every family has children, who can guarantee that their children will not do this kind of thing, they can only treat them leniently.

Dong Yuanzheng saw the fruit on the tree, and he couldn't help but go in that direction. When he got to the bottom of the tree, he realized that the tree was even more magnificent than what he had just seen.

Because of the longan on the tree, Dong Yuanzheng simply crawled up the trunk like a caterpillar, regardless of whether he was safe or not.

When Gu Shuixiu woke up, she didn't find Dong Yuanzheng beside her. She thought that the child went out to play naughty and didn't care. "Madam, isn't the third young master with you?"

Gu Shuixiu froze for a moment, then frowned and asked, "Isn't he playing in the yard outside?"

When Jingjing heard the words, her heart tightened and she said worriedly: "No, the third young master is not outside, and the old lady of the Gu family also asked why the young master and the young lady are up late today."

"What!" Gu Shui stood up beautifully, and quickly ran outside, shouting loudly, "Yuanzheng, Yuanzheng, where are you?"

Unfortunately, she shouted for a long time without seeing a single figure, Gu Shuixiu's heart slowly sank.

This is Dong Er and others rushing over, Gu Shuixiu didn't have the heart to say anything to them, only told them to go out to find someone, Zhao shi said in a panic, "A good one. How come the big living people are gone! Our family is not big, no, I have to look for it..."

Zhao turned over all the Gu family's houses, and even went to the vegetable field behind the house and the well beside the house to check it out of fear, but no one was seen.

At this moment, by the river not far from Gu's house, someone exclaimed loudly: "No, there is a child who fell into the water! No good, come on!"

When Mr. Zhao heard this, his body softened and he almost fell down. Dong Er, Dong Si and Dong Liu had already rushed towards the river, and the person who called for help had not yet responded. The child who fell into the water was rescued by Dong Er and the others.

The woman by the river was pale and fell to the ground.

At this time, the villagers who came over after hearing the news were already surrounded by the river. Because all the young and middle-aged people in the village went to build roads, all the old people and women came over, everyone watched The children on the ground were all worried, and some women even hugged their children tightly, for fear that they would take a step closer to the river.

"God is pitiful, isn't this the eldest son of Gu Sheng's family? Why did he fall into the water?" The woman who spoke looked at the woman who had just called for help, with a suspicious expression on her face.

That woman is Gu Sheng's newly married daughter-in-law. It's only been a year since she passed away. Since she hasn't given birth yet, she has always been very kind to Gu Sheng's eldest son. what?

When everyone heard this, they all looked at the pale woman on the ground, and their questioning attitude was obvious.

Gu Sheng's daughter-in-law Zhou saw this, and quickly shook her head in denial, looking weak, and said pitifully: "These days, this child has been clamoring to come to the river to play, I was busy at home and didn't dare to let him come over. I turned around this morning and the child disappeared. When I realized that I couldn't find the child, I wondered if he ran to the river to play by himself. I hurriedly chased after him, but I didn't expect the child to fall into the water, woohoo..."

Zhou shi covered her face and cried, so pitiful, but Dong Er and the others on the side had no intention of listening to her explanation, Dong Si and Dong Liu were worried that Dong Yuanzheng was also playing by the river, so they quickly split up to look for them, and Dong Er also returned While rescuing the unconscious child on the ground, he kept pressing his chest and lungs.

The women and the old people around don't understand this, because this person is the guard of the Dong family, with strong martial arts, and dare not say anything to stop it, just watch Dong Er toss Gu Sheng's eldest son.

Seeing that everyone believed her words, Zhou Shi was relieved, the expression on her face eased a lot, and she was not worried at all.

Gu Shuixiu and Zhao Shi had already rushed over, because they found that the child was not their own, so they did not crowd forward to join in the fun, but looked around and searched.
