Gu Zheqi obviously didn't believe that his mother had done it, or he didn't want to believe it.
"Mother Zheqi, we are all from the same village. If you were threatened by others and did this, as long as you reveal the real culprit behind the scenes, we can forgive you for what you did."
The village chief said to Mr. Wang who was sitting on the ground and crying loudly.
Hearing this, Gu Zheqi looked at Wang with a little more urgency. His biological mother had a bad reputation for poisoning the villagers. If she really did it, it would definitely have an impact on him!
"Mom, if you know something, just tell me, and my son will definitely make the decision for you!"
Hearing this, Mrs. Wang seemed to have suddenly figured out something and stopped crying, but she didn't say anything, she just sat there blankly, as if her soul had been suddenly sucked out of her.
After a moment, he looked up at Gu Zheqi, his eyes full of love.
"I was indeed coerced by someone. I can also take you to find that person."
As Wang got up and walked out, everyone followed her, all curious about who was threatening Wang.
But no one expected that as soon as she walked out of the yard, Wang suddenly bumped into the corner of the opposite room. Blood was visible on her forehead. Tengman seemed to have lost all support and slid down quickly and softly.
"mother!"
Gu Zheqi was startled and ran over with long strides, shouting for the doctor and yelling that everyone on the scene was a murderer and asked everyone to pay with their lives.
There was a half-qualified doctor in Gujia Village who lived near the village chief's house. He was among the crowd and when he heard the noise, he immediately went home and got the medicine box.
"Doctor, why is my mother like this? Doctor Qiao, my mother can't get better!"
Gu Zheqi pointed at Mrs. Wang who woke up with one hand and shook Dr. Qiao vigorously with the other hand.
The man called Dr. Qiao scratched his head: "Well, I don't know this either. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be like this! The wall didn't even have blood on it, and your mother's wound was also shallow. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be like this. It causes amnesia!"
"This, my medical skills have only learned that hitting the back of the head may cause amnesia. This, this forehead... I really don't know. Why don't you take your mother to the town or city to ask?"
Hearing this, Gu Zheqi hurriedly went to ask Mrs. Wang: "Mother, my son will take you to the city for medical treatment! Don't worry, my son will definitely make you remember it!"
"Gu Jiu, can't you see my mother is like this? Get out of my way!"
"What are you pretending to be? Just now, if Dr. Qiao ran slower, the wound on Auntie's head solidified on its own." Gu Jiu looked at Mrs. Wang who was pretending to be confused and chuckled: "Don't just lose your memory. What are the adults in the Yamen?" I haven’t seen Feng Lang, let them investigate, and everything will come to light. The car is here, get in it!”
"That's right. Zheqi, Doctor Qiao has already said that there is no threat to your mother's life now. Since she can't remember who was threatening her, we will go directly to the Yamen and let the adults in the Yamen investigate this matter. It’s a good idea to give your mother a clean slate. Since your mother has lost her memory and can’t leave easily, she should get on the ground and wait for the train! Today’s matter must have an outcome no matter what!”
The village chief stared at the wound on Wang's head that was as big as a thumb but was covered tightly and said in a deep voice.
Not to mention that he is the head of a village, even if he is just an ordinary villager, if he is suddenly poisoned for no reason, it is impossible for him to expose it clearly and without itching!
Gu Zheqi was not a good person either. He refused to let his mother go to the Yamen no matter what. The scene was extremely chaotic with screams and screams.
"Hold him down! Do you think that if you lose your memory, you can clear yourself of the poisoning? I tell you it's impossible! No one died. If someone does die, your mother will not say she lost her memory, even if she committed suicide, , I have to take it out and whip the corpse!"
The village chief's words calmed Gu Zheqi, and even shocked the "dancing" Wang family to the spot. When the villagers on the side reacted, some helped push Wang onto the cart, while others helped pull the cow out and tie it to the cart.
After everything was ready, Aunt Xia sat down next to Wang.
"Zhe Qi, don't worry. With my aunt here, your mother will arrive at the Yamen safely!"
After the village chief left with the villagers, Gu Zheqi suddenly came back to his senses. Looking at the people running away, Gu Jiu calmly turned around and entered the yard. After making sure that no one was around, he opened the utility room.
"Did you hear the noise outside?"
His eyes scanned the obvious traces of struggle on the ground, and Gu Jiu's voice had no fluctuation.
Wang Dahu swallowed nervously: This, this person doesn't want to kill people and silence them, right? No way! He told everything he knew.
Seeing Gu Jiu pull out a nearly twenty centimeter knife from nowhere and suddenly squat in front of him, Wang Dahu was so frightened that he became incontinent on the spot.
He closed his eyes tightly, tears sliding down his nose.
"Go away, use your brain when you speak next, and let the things you shouldn't say rot in your stomach."
I thought I was going to die, but I didn't expect to hear an amnesty the next second.
Wang Dahu opened his eyes and gently moved his already stiff arms. Although the pain was unbearable, it could not affect the joy of having the rope cut.
After removing the rag from his mouth, Wang Dahu trembled for a long time and finally stood up. He looked at the door, then at Gu Jiu, then took a step forward, then looked at the door, then at Gu Jiu, then took another step...
Until he personally felt the light outside, Wang Dahu still couldn't believe it. If he left like this, he wouldn't be unexpectedly stabbed to death by someone behind him...
"If you don't leave, you don't have to leave."
Hearing the sound, Wang Dahu quickly ran out of the yard, fearing that he would see the knife again the next second.
Gu Jiu had no intention of going to the Yamen to watch the excitement. Anyway, it didn't matter whether she went or not.
After cleaning up the traces of Wang Dahu's existence, Gu Jiu and Gu Cheng said hello and went to the back mountain.
"I have nothing to do now, so I'll go with you."
Gu Jiu: ...guess why you can't go to the Yamen to watch the fun? I'm afraid you'll get a fever if you catch the wind. Can you go to the stone pit in the back mountain? If you break your leg, even if I have eight mouths, it's still my responsibility!
"Need not."
Gu Jiu refused simply and neatly. He was even afraid that Gu Cheng would follow him, so he ran out without even having time to take the basket.
After going to the back mountain, Gu Jiu went straight to the foggy area.
She had previously thought about letting the villagers pick as much as they could, and there was no preference. However, considering safety factors and the fact that people like Grandma Bu were elderly, she gave up the idea.
"Xiao Jiu, go to the back mountain."
Said Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, and by chance he met Grandma Bu.
"Why didn't you pick up a basket when you went up the mountain? Did you forget to go out in a hurry? Grandma has it here. You can take it first." Grandma Bu poured out a few mushrooms from the basket.
Gu Jiu waved his hand quickly: "No, I'll just..."
"Why don't you use it? Grandma only picks these few, so there is no need for such a big basket." She left the basket and turned around to leave.
Grandma Bu is at least seventy years old. She is not in good health and cannot climb the slope, so she always picks something to eat on the edge of the back mountain. Everyone in the village is also aware of this situation and has a tacit agreement not to dig up anything nearby.
Gu Jiu looked at Grandma Bu and sighed. Grandma Bu's family was originally doing well. Although they only had one son, the advantage was that his son was filial and hardworking, and the family lived a happy life. But unfortunately, the imperial court came to conquer the country. soldiers. Like the original owner's father, that man left and was never heard from again.
But the family has to continue to live. When there is farm work, the daughter-in-law will go out early and come home late to take care of the land alone. When not, she will get up early and go to the town to earn some copper coins. When there are no natural or man-made disasters, the family can live normally. alive.
"Hello, sister."
"Hello, sister."
"Hello, sister."
Gu Jiu was walking on the mountain when he was suddenly blocked by three children. Upon closer inspection, they were Grandma Bu's grandchildren.
Grandma Bu couldn't go up the mountain, but these children could. Three seven or eight-year-old children formed a group and went up the mountain when there were many people. There would be no problem.
"Hello, are you going back?"
"Yes." Daliu nodded: "There are few people on the mountain today. Grandma said that we have to go down the mountain when there are few people."
"Okay, walk slowly and pay attention to safety."
"Um!"
There were no snakes at this time, so Gu Jiu quickly climbed up the tree and picked seventy or eighty silkworm cocoons. After leaving the foggy area, I carried the basket and searched for wild vegetables and mushrooms for more than an hour.
"Grandma Bu, are you at home? I'm here to return the basket."
"Grandma, that sister is here."
Before the sound of grass and flowers fell, the door opened. Caohua and Daliu are twins. They are almost identical except that Daliu has one more mole in the corner of his eye than Caohua.
"Sister, I won't go in. These are to thank your grandma for lending me the basket." Gu Jiu picked out a handful of mushrooms from the basket, held them in his arms, and gave the rest to Caohua.
"Ah, that's not possible, Xiaojiu, take it back quickly!"
Grandma Bu who heard the noise and opened the door and came out immediately stopped when she saw this scene and said, their life is a little more difficult now, but that is not a reason to take other people's things!
"Grandma Bu, just take it. I'm leaving the day after tomorrow. I can't finish these things. It would be a waste if you don't take them. I will send out another batch of silkworm cocoons tomorrow afternoon. If you are free by then, Come and get it.”
"Yes, yes, I will arrive on time!"
"Okay, then it's settled."
I originally thought that Wang's matter would be solved easily, after all, there were all the witnesses and evidence captured at the scene, but what I didn't expect was that when Gu Jiu returned, the village chief and Aunt Xia had not returned from the town.
Gu Jiu made the soup and watched the night fall, feeling a little worried.
"Xiao, Xiaojiu." Gu Cheng shouted hesitantly: "You think nothing will happen to my parents, right?"
"Probably not. I just went out and took a look and found that none of the villagers who followed me have come back. Even if something happens, no one will be able to escape."
"makes sense."
Having said that, it was obvious that neither of them was in the mood to eat.
"I'm going to the town to see what's going on." After sitting for a while, Gu Jiu couldn't help but stand up.
"I'll go with you!"
"What should you do if you fall in the dark outside?"
"It's precisely because of the black light that I have to follow you. What should you do if you are in danger alone? At least the two of us have someone to take care of you!" Gu Cheng said anxiously.
"Nothing will happen." Gu Jiu pointed to the brick that was still in the corner and said: "Didn't you say that few people can smash the brick open at once? You see, I have this strength, why should I be afraid of accidents? "
"That won't work either, tonight..."
The two of them were arguing like this, and just when Gu Jiu was about to lock the person in the room and leave, there was a bustle of voices outside.
"Tell me why Gu Wensheng is so cruel that he can do such a heartless thing!"
"Who says it's not the case? He looks like a human being, but he actually does such immoral things in private!"
Gu Jiu and Gu Cheng ran out quickly when they heard the noise.
"Mom, why are you back so late? Where is dad?"
Aunt Xia sighed, waved goodbye to the other women, and then pulled Gu Cheng and Gu Jiu into the yard.
"You should tell me what happened to my mother!"
"Your father has to come back as soon as possible tomorrow." Aunt Xia exhaled speechlessly while sitting on the bench.
"Why? Isn't it Wang who committed the crime? Why can't dad come back?"
"Don't mention it! Not only your father, but all the men from the villages where he went can't come back. If it weren't for the lack of manpower in the yamen and the fear of someone sneaking around and molesting women, my mother wouldn't be able to come back either!" Aunt Xia gritted her teeth: "Tell me, why is that Gu Wensheng so useless? He is still a child, and the books have been read into the dog's belly?"
