Chapter 47: Dig a person (plus more)
Chapter 47 Dig a person (plus more)
Although Ye Anlan had a very approachable smile and was only wearing ordinary coarse clothes with patches on her knees and elbows, the aura around her made the young man subconsciously feel inferior.
Ye Anlan didn't seem to notice the young man's uneasiness at all. She smiled and continued to chat with him, "So it's Brother Gouzi. Brother Gouzi is also from the Wang family?"
Gouzi lowered his head with trembling lips, "I, I'm not."
Ye Anlan frowned, but did not continue to ask.
"That's it." Ye Anlan raised her hand and pointed to the courtyard they rented, "We live in that house now, it's very close to here. If Brother Gouzi is free someday, remember to come and talk to us."
Gouzi didn't agree or refuse, but just lowered his head, as if he was trapped in his own world and couldn't recover.
Ye Anlan frowned even tighter, and she said to Yang Xiaotao, "Try to find out about this person. Remember not to be too deliberate, lest you violate some taboo in this village."
At this time, Ye Anlan didn't know that Gouzi was indeed one of the taboos in Wangjiatun, but his so-called "taboo" was not the kind of taboo that the villagers refused to say.
When the aunt who helped them clean up the house came to deliver tofu, Yang Xiaotao found out about Gouzi from her.
According to her, although Gouzi looks thin and small, he is actually seventeen years old. It's just because his father doesn't care and his mother died early, so he has been treated harshly by his stepmother.
Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Gouzi has always been regarded by the villagers as a broom star, the kind of unlucky person who gets involved.
It is said that when he was born, his mother died of dystocia.
When he was 6 years old, his grandfather fell into a ditch at night and froze to death.
When he was 9 years old, his half-sister was bitten by a snake when he went up the mountain to collect firewood with him.
When he was 11 years old, his father broke his leg. He managed to save his life, but he became lame.
When he was 14 years old, the only grandmother in the family who loved him slipped and fell in the yard and broke her head, and died within a few days.
When he was 15 years old, his half-brother sneaked into the river and almost drowned. Although he was not there at the time, his stepmother said it was his fault.
In the words of his stepmother, "Otherwise, why are other people's children all right? The river is so shallow."
Moreover, his stepmother also cited the bad luck that happened at home as an example, saying that it was all his fault.
Hearing his stepmother's instigation, his father gritted his teeth and kicked him out of the house.
He was homeless, and no one dared to take him in, so he could only live in a straw hut far away from the village.
This straw hut was originally built by the villagers in order to look after the fields. After he moved in, he felt that he had occupied the house where the villagers looked after the fields, so he voluntarily helped the villagers look over the fields.
Most of the villagers are members of the Wang family, and they are more or less blood related to Gouzi. Although they dare not get too close to the "broom star", they still have the courage to take care of them occasionally.
So, the child began to help different people with work every day, and then occasionally got a little food from each other.
After nearly two years of hungry and full meals like this, the light in the child's eyes has gradually been worn out by all kinds of troubles in life.
This is why Ye Anlan had such a numb expression when he met him.
Seeing Ye Anlan frowned, Yang Xiaotao asked cautiously, "Girl, let's go."
Ye Anlan came back to her senses, "It's nonsense, don't worry about it."
Yang Xiaotao looked shocked, she thought Ye Anlan would say "stay away from him in the future".
Ye Anlan pinched Yang Xiaotao's face amusedly, "Just because he lived in the straw hut that the villagers built randomly, he felt uneasy and took the initiative to help the other party with the farm work. It can be seen that he has a simple and honest personality and knows how to be grateful. This kind of person It's much more reliable than that kind of guy with a lot of flamboyance."
And the other party is already seventeen years old, several years older than the Zheng Fengshou, Ye Song, Yang Xiaotao, and Su Xiaohe she can use now. A boy of this age can do a lot.
As for his bones. Although he hadn't been very happy in the past two years, and he didn't look much better than a refugee, but in the first fifteen years, he had the protection of his grandmother, and his health was not bad.
As long as this kind of food can feed him later, he will soon be useful in many ways.
Thinking of this, Ye Anlan suddenly had the idea of abducting someone and leaving.
She said to Yang Xiaotao: "Go, let Fengshou try to contact this person."
Yang Xiaotao's eyes widened, "But, but his attitude"
"That's why I said let Fengshou pass. Fengshou has a generous personality and doesn't think too much."
Sometimes it is good to think less, at least you won't feel frustrated easily.
Especially, Zheng Fengshou's brain circuit is still different from that of ordinary people. Maybe if he messes it up, the dog who is already almost ashamed can really rekindle the fire of hope.
"You let Fengshou talk to him, bring him food, and help him with his work. Or teach him martial arts. If he can make Gouzi agree to follow us, I will allow him to eat meat buns for three consecutive days. "
Yang Xiaotao:
Yang Xiaotao is drooling, to be honest, she also really wants to eat meat buns.o(╥﹏╥)o
***
As Ye Anlan expected, under the temptation of Roubaozi, Zheng Fengshou didn't care about the attitude of the other party, and just kept pestering the dog every day with a smile on his face.
His lobbying is straightforward, without any skills at all, but this clumsiness and magnanimity are unexpectedly very suitable for Gouzi who has looked at people since he was a child.
Gouzi was at a loss from the beginning, then he was helpless and let it go, and finally he was half excited and half afraid of Zheng Fengshou's persistence.
He approached Ye Anlan on his own initiative, "Miss Ye, I, I heard from Fengshou."
Ye Anlan smiled, "I heard from him that we want to take you with us?"
Gouzi nodded sullenly.
Ye Anlan still smiled, "Then you want to leave here with us? We don't think you are a broom star, nor will we look at you with strange eyes, and we will not crowd you out as a dangerous person."
Gouzi was shaking violently all over his body. He opened and closed his lips several times, but he couldn't say a word with all his strength.
Ye Anlan said again: "As long as you are willing to listen to me and do things for me, I will take care of your three meals a day and your clothes for four seasons."
"If you get sick on the way, I will cure you. If unfortunately you die, I will properly bury you somewhere. If you follow us to a new destination, I can even help you prepare The house and the fields will make you worry about food and clothing from now on."
"Of course, if you are willing to read and learn martial arts, and do more things for me in the future, that would be the best. Even if you want to learn medical skills and arithmetic, I can teach you carefully."
"In short, you don't have to worry about having no way out in the future."
