Chapter 112 The Gu Family Returns to Dagu Village
Let’s go back to the Gu family.
Everyone fell asleep during the comfortable massage.
The next day, the family got up early as usual.
The whole family followed Master Wu to practice martial arts and exercise.
After a hearty breakfast, I tidied up and washed up.
The adults in the Gu family were all excited and thrilled.
After all, I have lived in Dagu Village for decades. Now that I have been away for so long, I don’t know what it has become.
Now I can finally go back and take a look.
After everyone had packed up, they gathered in Mr. Gu's yard.
"Fu, let's go." Seeing that his family was ready, Grandpa Gu said happily to his granddaughter.
"Okay, let's set off." Gu Fu said as he released his mental power and summoned two giant birds.
Still following the original formation: Gu Fu and Old Man Gu, Gu Dahe, Mrs. Wen, Gu Kang, Gu Ji, and Gu Xiang, all sitting on Daidai's back.
Gu Dahai, Jiang, Gu Dajiang, Miao, Gu Ru, Gu Yi, Gu An, and Gu Le, all sat on Shasha's back.
After everyone was seated, Gu Fu patted Daidai on the back, pointed in the direction of Dagu Village, and shouted, "Shasha, Daidai, let's fly in that direction until we reach the edge of the woods. When we get there, stop. Let's go!"
The two birds flew in the direction that Gu Fu pointed. Old Man Gu was holding a telescope and happily looking at the rocks and trees below.
It took the group about a month to get here. Now, although it was the first time for the two birds, Silly and Dadai, to fly to the edge of the forest in just two quarters of an hour.
"Fu'er, let Shasha, Daidai and the others stay in the woods. We will go the rest of the way by ourselves." Grandpa Gu said to his granddaughter.
"Okay, Grandpa."
Gu Fu released his mental power and looked around, and found that there was no one around.
Then he pulled the silly, stupid head over and said, "You guys play in the woods first. Let's go home, and I'll come find you when we get back. Be careful and stay away from people. Don't scare others, understand?"
After a period of battle of wits and courage between the two silly birds and Gu Fu, they are now completely obedient to Gu Fu.
He immediately blinked his cute big eyes and made a gurgling sound with his mouth.
Gu Fu patted the two birds' chests and waved at them.
Only then did he, holding his grandfather's hand, follow his family out of the forest and head towards Dagu Village.
It was only another seven or eight miles ahead. Gu Fu was afraid of danger, so he released his mental power to explore the way forward.
Upon seeing this, Gu Fu’s grandfather’s hand tightened instantly.
Grandpa Gu felt his granddaughter's movements and asked hurriedly, "Fu, you're tired. Come here, let grandpa hold you." As he said that, he was about to bend down and pick up his granddaughter.
Gu Fu shook his grandfather's hand, stopped and refused, "Grandpa, I'm not tired. I was just thinking, why don't we go to the mountains and find a new stone. We haven't been back for so long, and the millstone has no one to take care of it. It must be too dirty to be used."
Mr. Gu knew that his granddaughter was not the kind of person who would give up halfway through doing something.
There must be some danger ahead, or something has happened.
"Fuer, what happened? It's okay, just tell me. Grandpa is not afraid." Grandpa Gu said solemnly.
"Yes, Fuer, no one is afraid. You can tell your family if there is anything." Gu Dahai said solemnly.
The other members of the Gu family responded seriously.
Seeing his family like this, Gu Fu was afraid that they would continue to think about it. Anyway, it had come to this point, and it was impossible to hide it.
All he could say was in a low voice: "Da Gu Zhuang was burned down."
She knew that Dagu Village was different in the hearts of her family members.
"How could it be, how could it be?" Upon hearing this, Mr. Gu unconsciously let go of his granddaughter's hand and murmured in disbelief.
"Didn't everyone in our village flee from famine? It's an empty village! Who will it bother?" Gu Dahai said angrily.
"Damn it, these bastards! How can they be so cruel and cruel." Gu Dahai also cursed out loud.
The other members of the Gu family also looked incredulous.
Seeing his family's reaction, Gu Dajiang tried to comfort them: "Hey! Dad, eldest brother, third brother. Now that things have come to this, we should think positively. The house was burned down, but we can rebuild it when things are peaceful. Fortunately, we got the news in advance, otherwise, it would not just be the village that was burned down."
Everyone felt better, but they still felt depressed.
Who is this empty house bothering?
"Fu, if there is no danger over there, grandpa would like to go and take a look." Grandpa Gu asked his granddaughter.
"There's no one over there, so there's no danger." Gu Fu said truthfully.
The group continued to move forward, their mood was completely different from when they set out.
When they arrived at Dagu Village, everyone stood at the entrance of the village.
Looking at the village that was once full of vitality, now only charred wooden beams are left, lying on the ground in a mess.
The original road was covered with burnt tiles and charred wood. When people walked on it, they could hear the sound of breaking under their feet with every step, like the wailing of the village after seeing an old friend.
When everyone arrived at the old house, they saw that the Gu family's old house had been burned down, with only two empty walls left standing there.
There were broken beams and piles of tiles in the yard, leaving no place to step.
There is no trace of the past life left, only ruins and desolation.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, thinking back to the past with mixed feelings. Then they were angry, mixed with sadness, incomprehension, and disbelief.
For a moment, everyone felt very complicated.
Jiang was touched and quietly took out her cell phone from the bag around her waist and took pictures of what she saw.
Everyone stayed outside the old house for a while, until they all accepted the fact that the village was burned down.
Mr. Gu was the first to speak: "Let's go and see if the stone mill can still be used. Let's go back after we get the stone mill."
"Okay, Dad." Everyone responded quickly.
The group arrived at the mill, and although the mill had been burned, the stone mill was still usable.
Gu Dahai and his two brothers took down the millstone together, and Gu Fu put it into the space.
When Mr. Gu saw that the matter was settled, he said, "Let's go back now. There's nothing good to stay here."
"Come back, Dad. We will rebuild our Dagu Village someday."
"I hope that day will come sooner! The world will be at peace sooner." Mr. Gu said with emotion.
Although I know that what my second son said is right, it is still emotionally painful to see the place where I have lived for half my life being destroyed like this.
Everyone left the burned-down Dagu Village step by step, accepting and sorting out their feelings along the way.
"If you ask me, the people in our village should really thank Brother Dafu. If he hadn't received the news and came back to inform everyone, we wouldn't have been able to prepare in advance and avoid this disaster." Gu Dajiang said.
"Who said it wasn't true?" Gu Dahe said, "I don't know how Dafu and the clan leader are doing now."
Gu Dahai patted his brother's shoulder and consoled him, "Don't worry, good luck will come to you. There is no rebellion in the Li King's fiefdom, and our Gu family members are definitely safe."
The group walked further and further away, and Dagu Village gradually became blurred behind them.
"Since we have nothing to do today, why don't we take a walk in the forest? We can pick up some wild vegetables and mushrooms and bring them back to add some new dishes." Gu Dahai suggested.
