Chapter 292: The Cousin of "Fuwa" 20
Chapter 292: The Cousin of "Fuwa" 20
It’s a pity that they died too early in the original world, and everything hadn’t even begun yet.
Since her father has such an ambition, as a daughter, she must help him.
The next morning, Gu Yong went out early, and Gu Qian slept until noon as usual.
After breakfast, I continued to learn embroidery from Li Xiuqin.
During this period, apart from Aunt Wang coming to visit and inquire about Gu Yong's whereabouts, nothing else happened and everything was calm.
Not only did Gu Qian feel something was wrong, even Li Xiuqin was surprised.
Gu Ming and Zhao Mei were surprisingly well behaved. They neither said anything bad outside nor came to cause trouble.
Li Xiuqin felt very fortunate, but Gu Qian felt that there must be something strange.
She was very aware of the resentful words and hateful looks behind them when their family of three walked out of the ancestral hall yesterday.
"Hehe, since you think I'm a disaster star, then I'll let you see how powerful a disaster star is!" Gu Qian said with a sneer.
"Tuanzi, is there a spell or item that can bring bad luck or punishment to someone if they want to do something bad to me or have bad thoughts?"
Tuanzi quickly responded: "There is a spell called the Bad Luck Spell. The user can set a ban on speaking. Once the user triggers the ban, bad luck will come upon them."
Gu Qian's eyes lit up, "Okay, this is it! Give one to Gu Ming and Zhao Mei respectively, and the forbidden words are my name and my parents' name."
"Okay, they've been taped."
At the same time, Gu Ming and Zhao Mei were having lunch.
"Old man, what do you think we should do now?"
"Let's not do anything rash. I've thought about it carefully. If we want to get the annual tribute money, we can't go against them openly, so we can only trip them up secretly."
"I heard from Mrs. Wang that Gu Yong went to the county early in the morning to look for a job? If he really found one, wouldn't that ugly woman Li Xiuqin and that evil Gu Qian be the only ones left at home?"
"Don't even think about looking for trouble! Everyone knows that our two families have reconciled. If you dare..."
"Ouch!"
Before Gu Ming could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhao Mei's sudden cry of pain.
Zhao Mei was seen holding her stomach, her face was pale and cold sweat was pouring down her forehead.
"What's wrong with you?" Gu Ming asked with disgust, frowning.
"It hurts...my stomach..." Zhao Mei moaned.
"What did you eat outside again?" Gu Ming suspected that Zhao Mei had eaten something unclean outside, which caused her stomachache.
"No...I didn't eat anything."
"Tsk..." Gu Ming put down his chopsticks helplessly, "Let's go and check out Old Li."
"Fuwa, don't run around at home by yourself!"
"I got it, Grandpa."
After hearing Gu Xi's answer, Gu Ming felt relieved and supported Zhao Mei as they walked out.
However, as soon as they walked out the door, there was a sudden flash of lightning and thunder in the sky, and heavy rain began to fall.
"Damn weather!" Gu Ming cursed.
"Wait here, I'll go find the raincoat."
Gu Ming ran steadily to the wall of the kitchen and took down two raincoats.
He threw the short suit to Zhao Mei and said, "Put it on yourself, quickly!" After saying that, he put it on himself.
Zhao Mei had no choice but to stand up and put on the raincoat despite the pain.
After Zhao Mei was dressed, Gu Ming supported her and walked forward in the rain with difficulty.
However, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the road was getting more and more slippery. Gu Ming accidentally stepped on a smooth stone, twisted his foot and fell to the ground.
Zhao Mei was also dragged to the ground by him. Her knees hit the ground and became slippery. Her stomach hurt even more.
"Oh, it hurts! My leg..." Zhao Mei lay on the ground groaning in pain, her hands trembling slightly on her knees to block the rain from hitting the injured area.
"What is going on..." Gu Ming felt a dull pain in his ankle and groaned inwardly.
Zhao Mei, who was lying on the ground, was making such a fuss that he was upset. "Why are you yelling? It's all your fault!" he yelled at Zhao Mei impatiently.
Zhao Mei shut up instantly after being yelled at. "I..." She pursed her lips. "Old man, help me up. I can't stand up."
"I pull you? You're so heavy, and you still want me to pull you? I sprained my ankle too!"
Zhao Mei couldn't hold back any longer after being yelled at again and started to cry. But she remembered that Gu Ming didn't allow her to yell loudly, so she could only control her crying and sob softly.
Gu Ming gave Zhao Mei a disgusted look, then turned around and shouted to the house nearby: "Gu Bing, Gu Bing? Is Gu Bing's family here?"
"Who is it? Oh, my cousin!" Gu Bing came out and saw that it was the topic of the village recently - his nominal cousin.
Although he is called a cousin, the relationship is actually quite distant. In their village, anyone with the surname Gu is more or less related to him, so the way they address him is quite casual, as long as it can show affection.
"What happened? Why are they so miserable?" Gu Bing didn't care about the rain and hurried over. It took a lot of effort to help the two men up.
"Don't mention it. Your aunt had a stomachache, so I wanted to take her to see Lao Li. But it started raining when we came out. I took a few steps and fell. I twisted my foot and your aunt's leg was broken."
"Hurry up and go inside to avoid the rain."
"No, no, your aunt's stomach still hurts! Can you help us and send her to Lao Li?"
"Okay, but I only have a cart here. Can you let your uncle and aunt lie on the cart and I push them over?"
"This..." Gu Ming was a little hesitant. After all, he was old and still wanted to save his reputation.
Gu Ming gritted his teeth and agreed, "Okay!"
How could they get by otherwise?
It would be fine if only Zhao Mei was injured. She could just wait here with Gu Bing until the rain stops before going over.
But his foot is still sprained. If he doesn’t find Lao Li to treat it right away, how can he do his job?
"Okay, I'll go get the cart!" Gu Bing turned around and pulled the cart parked in the yard to the two of them.
"Uncle, wait a minute, I'll go get someone to help me." There was no way he could pound the cart by himself. He needed at least two people, one to stabilize the cart and the other to help him lift the person.
"Wait..." Before Gu Ming could even finish the word "wait", Gu Bing had already disappeared.
"Hey!" He angrily slapped the wall beside him, "This is so embarrassing!"
After a while, Gu Bing called two strong young men from next door.
They swiftly lifted Gu Ming and Zhao Mei onto the cart, and kindly accompanied Gu Bing in sending them to the door of Lao Li's house.
Seeing that his door was suddenly surrounded by a group of people, Lao Li was a little panicked.
"What's going on here?"
"Doctor Li, please take a look at my uncle and aunt." Gu Bing said anxiously.
"I think I twisted my ankle, she had a stomachache, and then she fell and broke her knee."
"Let me check on Zhao Mei first." Old Li carefully felt Zhao Mei's pulse and looked at the wound on her knee.
