Chapter 225 2 Miao was beaten
Although Gou was afraid, she still said in a trembling voice: "Er Miao, no, don't be afraid, let's proceed as planned."
After carefully observing the surroundings, Gu Ermiao pointed to a building ahead that was much taller than the surrounding buildings and said, "Aunt, I hear the crying coming from inside. Go over there and pretend to faint. There's a large area of shade there for you to hide in."
Gou couldn't help but praise him, "Ermiao is really a sensible and good child. Just remember to change your words later."
The two walked slower and slower. To be honest, after walking this long way, not only Gou Shi, but also Gu Ermiao felt dizzy and wanted to rest.
When I got closer, I realized that this was the Songjiazhai Ancestral Hall. The steps were high up, and when I looked up, I could only see the densely packed tablets inside, which was awe-inspiring.
The crying sound came from the ancestral hall.
The two exchanged glances, and Gou's body softened and she fell to the ground.
Gu Ermiao reached out to support Gou, who had begun to roll her eyes, but he had overestimated his own strength and was dragged to the ground, breaking his face.
He had originally wanted to fake cry, but now he was in so much pain that tears came out. He choked and wailed, "Mom, what's wrong with you? Mom, please wake up! Is there anyone here? Please save my mom!"
Gu Ermiao cried and shouted for about a cup of tea before the people in the ancestral hall came out calmly, looking down at him with an extremely indifferent expression.
"Go away, go away, you country bumpkin who's here screaming and howling like a ghost? Get out of here now, or I'll beat you out of the village with a stick!"
Gu Ermiao looked up at the person who was speaking. Although he was standing on the steps, he still did not feel tall. He was wearing a white linen shirt and a mourning hat on his head, as if he was attending a funeral.
But he cried for a long time, but there was no trace of tears on his face.
When he spoke, his lips did not move, and the words seemed to be squeezed out from his nose. His arrogant look made people feel disgusted at first sight.
Gu Ermiao thought of his mother's expectations, suppressed his unhappiness, and struggled to support Gou and climb the stairs.
After finally climbing up, she put Gou aside panting, then knelt pitifully at the man's feet, tugging at the corner of his clothes and begging.
"Uncle, uncle, please save my mother! I see there are some steamed bread on the tribute platform, can you let my mother eat some first..."
Before Gu Ermiao could finish his words, the man kicked him in the chest: "Get out!"
Gu Ermiao was caught off guard and fell down the stairs after feeling dizzy.
Gou had been secretly squinting her eyes, fearing that something unexpected would happen. When she saw Gu Ermiao being beaten, she couldn't help but stand up.
Suddenly, I heard a trembling sound under the stairs.
"Uncle, it's okay for you to hit me. If you feel like it, you can kick me a few more times. I just beg you to save my mother. She hasn't eaten for several days and is about to starve to death..."
When Gou heard this, he naturally knew that Er Miao was reminding him not to act rashly.
But she felt sour and bitter in her heart. She had clearly promised her sister-in-law before leaving that she would take good care of Gu Ermiao. Not only had Ermiao taken care of her all the way, but now Ermiao was beaten so badly. If she did nothing, how could she be worthy of her sister-in-law's instructions!
The stairs are so high, if Er Miao falls down, he will get seriously injured!
Just as she stood up and wanted to kick the short guy down, she suddenly remembered what her sister-in-law said.
"It doesn't matter if I can't help, as long as I don't hinder you!"
Gou clenched his fists and decided to wait and see what happened.
But she couldn't just sit there and do nothing. She had to take the opportunity to think of a way to teach this short and fat man a lesson, otherwise how could she be worthy of her sister-in-law!
Gu Ermiao had already climbed up with difficulty at this time. When Gou saw the blood on his forehead, she almost screamed.
But the man just looked at him coldly, as if he was looking at a cat or a dog.
"You bastard! You even want to eat the sacrifices of my Song family's ancestors. I'm being merciful by not beating you to death! Now I'm giving you two choices. Either I kick your beggar mother out of here and get out with her."
The man paused, his tone becoming more ferocious.
"Or I'll just have to put in the effort and throw you under the bridge, waiting to feed the hyenas at night!"
Gu Ermiao couldn't help coughing. He felt the fishy smell in his throat became more and more severe, and his head was dizzy and he kept wanting to vomit.
He suppressed the discomfort, limped over to the man again and knelt down.
The man stretched out his legs and kicked him away again. This happened several times. Gu Ermiao couldn't stop gasping for breath as he spoke, trembling:
"Uncle, uncle, please have mercy on us mother and son! We, ahem, are refugees from somewhere else. We originally wanted to find a living in Songsi Village, but we didn't expect that bully headman would actually beat us out with sticks..."
The man who had been ferocious just now suddenly relaxed his expression after hearing that they were driven out of Songshi Village.
He was seen twirling his beard and slowly circling around the "mother and son" a few times, looking them up and down carefully, and suddenly leaning over to help him up, completely different from the indifferent man just now.
"Oh, nephew, why didn't you tell me earlier! Look at you guys, you're all bleeding from the beating. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, how pitiful!"
When Gu Ermiao saw him helping him up, he deliberately pressed the injured area twice and immediately pretended to be in great pain and screamed.
The man laughed even more heartily.
"My dear nephew, I'm sorry. I was careless. Look at you, you're as thin as a stick, and you're still thinking about your mother. Your filial piety is truly touching!"
After the man finished speaking, he pretended to wipe his eyes, then suddenly threw up his sleeves and said indignantly:
"Songsi Village has always been blind, especially that village head Song Youliang. If he had a conscience, how could he let you suffer in vain! Don't worry, I, the village head of Songjia Village, am different from that bastard!"
what?
This greasy and ugly man in front of me is actually the head of Songjiazhai?
This hypocrite looks exactly like Song Youliang!
Although Gu Ermiao was dizzy from the fall, he could still feel the hypocritical and changeable man's attention to Song Sicun and his boasting about himself, and he felt more and more contempt for him.
But his face showed endless gratitude, and he even cried out loud.
"What? You're actually the renowned Songjiazhai Village Chief! After hearing what you just said, I thought you were a living Bodhisattva who saved the suffering! Sure enough, you're just like the rumors say. How can that cold-faced and beastly head of Songsi Village compare to you!"
Gu Ermiao's praise made the village head smile so much that his face was squeezed into the shape of a chrysanthemum, and he didn't hear the sarcasm in his words at all.
The eloquent Gu Ermiao continued to praise without reservation.
"Master Lizheng, if you can pity us and give us a bite to eat, I will definitely set up a longevity tablet for you and offer you daily offerings and incense!"
The man smiled and patted his shoulder, saying earnestly, "My nephew, you are so sensible! But the tribute is really inedible, so come with me to my house for dinner. My wife is cooking a big pot of food at noon, so we can talk while we eat. Let's go!"
