Chapter 243 Chaos
What Master Du and Wu Jie didn't expect was that they encountered a tough problem this time.
Waves of people were sent out, but no one heard from them.
Day after day, the situation of the Du family really got worse. What the head of the Du family didn't expect was that his two sons and daughters had no other skills, and they actually cooperated with others without telling him, and wanted to take him away to seize the family property.
Under internal and external troubles, the Du family's power in Xiangjiang was hit hard.
Patriarch Du was seriously ill in bed in a fit of rage, and he was much older. He didn't want to see the rebellious son and rebellious daughter, but called Wu Jie to the bedside.
Wu Jie didn't have the winning ticket before, and when he saw Patriarch Du's indiscriminate expression of joy and anger, he couldn't help but thump in his heart.
Patriarch Du did not get angry this time: "We underestimated him."
Wu Jie hesitated to speak.
"What do you want to say?"
Wu Jie then said: "Patriarch, you once said that as long as you are not a member of the Bai family, even if you go out of the way, it will not be like this, but why..."
Patriarch Du closed his eyes, and after a long time, he said coldly: "Of course someone has cheated us."
Wu Jie glanced at the old man's face, and whispered: "It was my father who watched Bai Jun die with his own eyes, Patriarch, I will never lie to you."
Patriarch Du shook his head: "It's not him."
"That branch is the people left by the young master. Although they are serious direct descendants, they are actually far away from the family and know little about the history of the Bai family."
When he attacked that family back then, he just wanted to kill the grass and roots, but he didn't really care about them.
Patriarch Du didn't know what he thought of, and fear rose in his eyes: "But... when the Bai family was ruined, a young son escaped."
"Back then, the Gu family searched for a long time but couldn't find any trace of the child. Due to the situation, they had to let it go temporarily. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid the child is still alive, so they lurk in the dark to take revenge."
Wu Jie frowned and said, "It's just a child, how can it destroy the Du family's century-old plan?"
The head of the Du family sneered, "You don't know how powerful the Bai family is."
"That family is very evil... As long as they are here, the Du family will be crushed. If not, how could my father betray and run away?"
Wu Jie lowered his eyebrows and was pleasing to the eye, but he didn't think so in his heart. He secretly thought that the head of the Du family would fight back. It was obvious that the Du family was ungrateful and betrayed the master's family, but now he wants to blame the Bai family instead.
But now they are grasshoppers on the same rope, Wu Jie only said: "The Du family's trick is really clever."
Originally, it was really clever, but unfortunately there was an accident.
The head of the Du family said coldly: "Originally the previous Gu family, now the Qian family stands in front, the Du family doesn't have to worry about anything, who would have thought..."
"In the end, it's because the Qian family is too greedy. They actually want to send their son into the mountains to get the secret treasure hidden by the Bai family. They don't want to see if their family has this blessing."
"It doesn't matter if they die, but the Du family will also be dragged into the water."
The head of the Du family was very dissatisfied with the stupidity of the Qian family. If they hadn't done unnecessary things, there would be no situation today.
Wu Jie whispered: "Then now..."
"Continue to send people, I don't believe that I can't kill that surnamed Bai."
What disappointed Patriarch Du was that the people they sent over were destined not to kill Gu Mingdong, and it was also because of their bad "luck" that they hadn't been ruthless during the chaos of the past two years, and now they just happened to encounter a severe crackdown.
The public security police took to the streets and conducted a large-scale search and arrest of those who broke the law and discipline, and the precarious public security situation was swept away.
This saved Gu Mingdong a lot of worry and trouble.
Early in the morning, the four big dogs at home couldn't help barking.
Zheng Tong got up early and opened the door for them with a smile: "Okay, let's go."
The big dogs ran out in a hurry to solve their physical problems. When they came back from a stroll on the hill, their masters got up and added food to their dog bowls.
The four big dogs were not in a hurry to eat, they circled around Gu Mingdong's legs, and started to purr after being intimate.
Zheng Tong saw it, and couldn't help being sour: "The old man opens the door for them every day, but these few don't like to talk to me."
Gu Mingdong smiled and gave the big dog an extra meal: "Why don't I also hand over the feeding job to you, and I will definitely kiss you when the time comes."
Zheng Tong waved his hand: "Forget it, I'm afraid they will all be hungry and thin after a while."
These four dogs all recognize people. When Gu Mingdong is away from home, they would rather go up the mountain to catch rabbits to eat than eat the food he fed, which made Zheng Tong very disappointed.
Lost is lost, Zheng Tong also thinks that such a dog is a good dog.
After breakfast, Gu Mingdong took the four dogs up the mountain, and he followed slowly, but the four dogs walked into the forest like birds, feeling at ease.
Occasionally, when people in the village saw it, they couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The dog raised by the old Gu's family is really strong."
Someone also said bitterly: "Their family is willing to feed the dog with meat and bones, is your family willing?"
Gu Mingdong didn't care what other people thought, when he reached the mountain, his abilities became active, and he walked around happily.
It was already winter at this time, only the loquat tree was still green, with white flowers mixed among the loquat leaves.
Gu Mingdong went around to make sure that the fruit forests were in good condition, and picked a lot of loquat leaves.
A bamboo basket was filled, and four dogs sprang out from the forest, the leader of which was a wild rabbit in his mouth.
Gu Mingdong took it and carried it. It weighed about ten catties. It was a big fat rabbit: "Go home and cook meat for you."
Thinking of the taste of stewed meat, the boss licked the corners of his mouth greedily.
Carrying the rabbit and the bamboo basket, Gu Mingdong went around to the orange grove and picked a bagful of oranges.
When he reached the foot of the mountain, Gu Mingdong saw Gu Ting playing with a few girls, and beckoned, "Tingting, come here."
"Uncle Adong." Gu Ting ran over as soon as she saw him.
Gu Mingdong stuffed a few tangerines into her hand. Their family's tangerines grew so big that the little girl could only hug two or three.
"Go and play, and share the food with your little sister."
After saying this, Gu Mingdong walked home with the four dogs.
Gu Ting went back with a few tangerines in her arms, and said with a smile, "Uncle A Dong gave it to us, let's eat together."
When the little girls heard this, they immediately cheered. Although the life of the big guys in the village was much easier after the contract was settled, the adults have gone through difficult times and lived carefully. Fruits are all expensive.
That is to say, there is Gu Mingdong in their village, who has planted fruit trees all over the mountains and plains. Usually, when the fruits are in abundance, they can buy them at a relatively low price, but most of them are just fresh.
Even so, most of the little girls don't have enough to eat, or can't eat.
Gu Ting picked apart a tangerine and counted the heads, and it happened that each person ate half a tangerine.
As soon as it was pulled apart, the unique scent of citrus permeated the air. The little girl opposite took it and couldn't wait to stuff it into her mouth: "It's so sweet and delicious."
"After eating, the tangerines from Uncle Adong's house are the best." This is something I don't lack at home, and commented, "The last time I went to my grandma's house, my uncle didn't know where to buy the citrus oranges." Tangerine tastes bitter, not tasty at all."
"I really envy you. Don't talk about sweetness in my house. Even if it's bitter, I don't have my share."
She cherishes it very much, like some delicacies from mountains and seas: "It's so sweet."
Gu Ting smiled: "It's delicious, let's eat together."
"Tingting, Uncle Adong is really kind to you." Anyway, except for Gu Mingdong, the adults in the village can't just give them delicious fruits.
Gu Ting smiled, nodded and said, "Yes, is he my uncle?"
After a while, the little girl on the opposite side lowered her voice and said, "Sometimes I feel that I wish he was my father."
"Haha, I hope too."
"If Uncle Adong was my father, then I would have endless fruits."
Gu Ting was amused by them, she squinted her eyes and ate the citrus, and couldn't help thinking in her heart, she also hoped to have such a good father, but unfortunately, it was impossible in this life.
However, even if it's not a daughter, being Uncle Adong's niece is pretty good.
Gu Mingdong didn't know anything about what happened behind him, and he didn't know that the little girl in the village was rushing to be his daughter.
Carrying things into the door, Zheng Tong was basking in the sun at the door, saw him and said: "Hey, my dog caught wild rabbits again?"
"We'll eat stew later." Gu Mingdong smiled.
Zheng Tong said with a smile: "Let me come, I am good at killing rabbits."
Not only did Zheng Tong know how to fool rabbits, the skins of the peeled rabbits could be intact. The bosses went to the house one after another to catch a lot of rabbits. Now that the skins are all processed, they can be made into leather clothes.
At the beginning of killing rabbits, the four dogs didn't dislike Zheng Tong any more. They sat in rows around him, as if they wanted to watch their trophies turn into delicious rabbit meat with their own eyes.
Gu Mingdong moved another stool, took a brush and began to process the loquat leaves.
Zheng Tong asked curiously, "What are you doing with this?"
"A few days ago, the third and fourth younger sisters wrote a letter, saying that Beijing was too dry and they were coughing all the time. I boiled some loquat cream for them and sent it." Gu Mingdong explained.
Zheng Tong said in surprise: "You can do this."
"Just learn it and you will be fine." Gu Mingdong is not very good at it either, but presumably as long as the process is correct, the effect should be similar.
"Then you cook more, and send some to Xiaoyun."
That's what Gu Mingdong originally planned, and he didn't pull any of them down.
Gu Mingxi and the others received the loquat paste from home, and it was already half a month later.
After opening it, Gu Mingxi smiled: "Brother must have wasted a lot of effort."
"What is this? Is it rice sauce again? It looks so dark." Lin Lu beside him asked curiously.
Gu Mingxi explained: "The loquat cream is made by my elder brother himself."
Lin Lu immediately became more curious: "Our eldest brother can also make loquat paste, he is too good."
"Xiaoxi, it just so happens that I also got angry recently and my throat hurts, let me try it."
Gu Mingxi had already guessed that she wanted to taste it, so he opened a can and dug out a few spoonfuls, and made a bowl for himself.
Lin Lu couldn't wait to take a sip. Rock sugar was added to the loquat paste, but the sweetness was not very obvious. On the contrary, it had a strong medicinal taste. It's not bad to say it's bad, but it's not that delicious after all.
