Traveling through ancient times

Gu Da, who arrived earlier, saw that everyone ignored him, so he smiled awkwardly and walked away. Gu San followed closely behind, dragging his son who was still sitting on the sand and eating sweet potatoes!

Liu Li, who had been standing far away, felt relieved. His dark and honest face couldn't help showing joy. He looked around but didn't see his son. He guessed that he must have finished his business and took a detour to go back. He nodded to everyone and walked down the mountain briskly!

Then old man Ma shouted, "Liu Li, carry that basket of sweet potatoes downstairs and tell your parents that they can steam them and eat them!" Liu Li was excited and said "OK" repeatedly. Gu Wenzhi and Ma Sanbao helped to lift the basket and put it on his back. Liu Li put his arms into the straps, exerted a little strength, and went down the mountain steadily with the basket full of sweet potatoes covered with sweet potato leaves on his back!

When everyone was peeling the sweet potatoes, Gu Dalian had already reminded them repeatedly to be careful and try not to damage the skin of the sweet potatoes, otherwise, they would easily go bad when stored in the future!

In fact, everyone only dug out 500 kilograms, just to satisfy their eyes. When Liu Daqiang came over and said something, Gu Dalian suggested that they first cover a part of the undigged land with wild flowers and weeds, and when the others came, they should try to stand in the front to block their sight, and that should be able to get away with it!

Old Man Gu and his friends didn't know much about the yield of this new grain, but they estimated that it was about 400 to 500 kilograms. Normally, if the family cultivated the crops well, one acre of good land could produce about 200 kilograms!

In their minds, these five hundred pounds were already a lot, but they felt that Old Man Ma and his gang were not easy to deal with, and they wanted to follow them out of the mountain, so they went down the mountain with their hands on their stomachs in pain!

Old Man Ma had his own considerations for asking Liu Li to carry the basket down. After all, Gu Wenzhi and his sister are still members of the Gu family. No matter how unwelcome they are, they cannot violate secular etiquette. The credit for finding high-yield grain must go to these siblings!

Judging from the looks of these little devils, they must have their own plans. Let's put this matter aside for now and take it one step at a time in the future! We'll make plans when the time is right!

Gu Wenzhi and his sister had finished what they were supposed to do, so they didn't need to worry about the rest. They said goodbye, played and laughed their way down the mountain to their own cave. Luo Feimo also followed them!

On the mountain, after watching them leave, Ma Mingli smiled and said to his father: "Dad, son, look, Moer's coming out this time is a blessing in disguise. These three brothers and sisters are his lucky stars!"

Old Man Ma smiled with relief: "Well, it seems that the three brothers and sisters are all good. Their second brother is calm and wise, and the little girl is also smart. But Gu Dalian is the most capable, humble, and unfathomable. She is Moer's real savior!" Having said that, he felt that he seemed to have said too much, so he restrained his emotions, left two people to guard, and the rest of them each carried baskets filled with sweet potatoes and covered with sweet potato leaves and went down the mountain back to the cave!

Here, the three siblings turned to a place not far from the old Gu family's cave, and saw Gu Da standing outside, with Gu San sitting on a big rock with his eyes closed to rest. Qin and Yao were also standing at the entrance of the cave, and the three sisters Gu Damei stood in the cave and looked out from time to time!

Gu Dalian muttered softly, "Another good show to watch! The sun will be reluctant to set if you don't commit suicide a few times a day!" Gu Xiaolian chuckled. Her elder sister was getting funnier and funnier. She didn't know how she could come up with so many new words!

Gu Da looked at him with a stern face and said, "Gu Wenzhi, your grandfather wants you to go in and talk!" He turned around and went into the cave! Gu Wenzhi followed him in silently without saying a word!

Gu Dalian saw that he was going to criticize his second brother. That was not okay. I had to protect my second brother and not let him suffer any loss! He changed his mind and pulled Gu Xiaolian in with him!

When the three siblings walked three or four steps into the cave, Old Lady Zhou's special weapon flew over to them. If they were slow, it would have hit them in the face, and they would have definitely been bleeding!

Gu Wenzhi slightly turned his body, raised his arm and pushed his two sisters behind him. The tree stick rushed out and fell outside the cave, almost hitting Gu San who was rubbing his feet with his eyes closed!

The old lady was furious when she saw this. The three little bastards actually dared to hide. They were getting bolder and bolder! She stood up and ran forward a few steps. She raised her hand and slapped Gu Wenzhi in the face, cursing, "You bastard, you have to take the beating from your elders. You actually dared to hide. You lowly bastard, I'll beat you to death!"

Gu Wenzhi dodged and tried to push Gu Dalian away, but Gu Dalian did not retreat but advanced, and was slapped! The slap echoed in the cave. Gu Dalian raised her hand and touched her face. Her porcelain-white face immediately showed five purple palm prints. Gu Xiaolian was so scared that she burst into tears: "Sister, does it hurt? Why is grandma so hateful? Woo woo woo..."

Gu Wenzhi hurried forward and looked at the clear slap mark on his sister's face. He felt a sharp pain in his heart and was heartbroken beyond words. His elder brother entrusted his sister to his care, but he was so incompetent that he caused his sister to be beaten!

The anger and resentment in his heart became even stronger. He turned to look at Old Lady Zhou with a cold look in his eyes, which frightened Old Lady Zhou so much that she took a step back, her arrogance immediately subsided, and her voice became much softer: "I'll teach you how to disobey your elders!"

Gu Wenzhi said: "Why? Why? Why treat us like this?" After saying these three whys, Gu Wenzhi suddenly found it ridiculous. After so many years, why did he start to think about so many whys only after his parents passed away?

Old lady Zhou was stunned. What happened to this kid today? He even dared to talk back. His eyes were so scary just now! Maybe I saw it wrong. Yes, I must have seen it wrong! Old lady Zhou's arrogance became arrogant again. She put her hands on her waist and said, "Why are there so many whys? Don't you know that disobeying elders is unfilial? You deserve to be beaten to death!"

Having heard this countless times, he always thought it was a big deal, thinking it was normal to be beaten and scolded by elders. However, after listening to their conversation, Gu Wenzhi's mentality slowly changed, and he needed to find the truth!

Although I feel that my guess is almost right, I still have the illusion that my grandparents are like many other elders, with ten fingers of different lengths, and they simply don't like their family!

Now, he firmly believed that the truth was: Dad was not their biological son! But he couldn't make it clear. He needed to find evidence, he needed to find clues, to find the murderer who persecuted his father. He wanted to take revenge on all the murderers who hurt his father!

Gu Wenzhi's eyes were cold, and he was shivering all over. He stared at Old Lady Zhou and said word by word, "Are you going to beat me to death? Or are you going to beat us all to death?"

Old Lady Zhou looked at Gu Wenzhi, and that feeling came back again, like the eyes of a wolf cub, so terrifying. Old Lady Zhou shuddered with fear again, her triangular eyes blinked several times in succession, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she couldn't speak!

Gu Wenzhi said again: "Grandpa, do you also want grandma to beat us all to death?" He stared at Old Man Gu coldly, his eyes flashing like a sword, and Old Man Gu was shocked: What did this kid know? Impossible, the secret has been buried for so many years, he can't know it! Thinking of this, Old Man Gu felt at ease, knocked on his pipe, and said with a gloomy face: "How can you talk like that? Grandma can't teach you a lesson?"

As soon as these words fell, Gu Dalian continued, "We wanted our parents to teach us a lesson, but our mother was beaten to death by our grandmother, and our father is dead too. Do we have to be beaten to death by our grandmother too? What's the logic behind this?"

After these words were spoken, the three siblings burst into tears and couldn't stop crying. Gu Dalian choked up and continued, "Is my father really your child? The first, third, and fourth wives eat well, wear good clothes, and don't have to work! Our second wife's family works like a cow and a horse every day, we don't have enough to eat, we don't have warm clothes, we get up earlier than chickens and sleep later than dogs, we are beaten and scolded every day, and we are often covered with bruises. Can't you see it, grandpa and grandma?"

Gu Xiaolian cried until she was hoarse. The Ma family members who had returned earlier gathered outside the cave and watched silently. Gu Xiaolian collapsed on the ground crying and said, "Mom was beaten to death, Dad is gone, and grandma won't let them enter the ancestral tomb! Wuuuuu, my aunt pinched me, my third aunt scolded me, and my fourth aunt ordered me around. It's so hard! Wuuuu, big sister, I miss my father and mother!"

Without waiting for the Gu family to speak, Gu Dalian squatted down, hugged her sister and started crying, "We have no parents and deserve to be bullied. Every day we can only drink rice soup without rice grains, and our stomachs are growling with hunger! My cousins ​​teamed up to feed the coarse grain steamed bread that I rarely ate for two days to the dog, saying that the Gu family would feed the food to the dog instead of giving it to us!"

“My cousin was so young, but he would often hit our heads with stones. My grandparents knew about it every time, and they would scold us for not knowing how to provoke him in advance! Wuuuu! Grandma should have beaten us to death right away, it would have been better than suffering like this every day!” The two sisters were crying until they were about to pass out, but their words were clear and everyone could hear them clearly!

When Gu Wenzhi heard that there were so many things going on, he felt heartbroken looking at the two sisters, and they almost suffocated. This old Gu family was so hateful and so cruel to his two sisters. Gu Wenzhi was furious and could hardly bear it anymore. He had to speed up his action and make peace with this old Gu family!
