Chapter 10 Relatives

In terms of seniority, Gao Zhuo can indeed be regarded as his uncle - the clan uncle.

But in Gao Zhan's mind, the two families have been separated by seven or eight generations, and their bloodline has long been diluted as thin as water.

Nowadays, one is rich and one is extremely poor, which is a world of difference! Not to mention calling himself the uncle of Gao Zhuo clan, it is the other way around. Gao Zhuo respects him as "Young Master". Whether he agrees or not depends on his mood!

But the abominable Du Yu has used it as his ultimate weapon every time he verbally fights, which makes him unable to gain any advantage verbally, so even Gao Zhuo hated him in his heart.

The only effective counterattack method is to take action directly and repair Du Yu to let him know the price of being humble. Unfortunately, Du Yu never gave in before, even if he was repaired ruthlessly, and he always looked for opportunities to avenge him, which made him a little scared.

But this time, Gao Zhan was furious, but he had some acting elements.

The reason why he did not continue to tangle with Du Yu was not because he was angry with "uncle", but because of the news that the bandits were about to enter the village. Although in his mind, Du Yu was a stone in a pit, smelly and hard, but at least he had one small advantage, that is, he almost never lie in the main business.

Therefore, as soon as Du Yu said it, he believed most of it.

No one knows his father better than his son. His father is stingy by nature, and the wealth accumulated by generations of the Gao family is in the fort. If the bandits really come, no one can escape, but their family can't escape, and they won't run away.

After Gao Zhan left, he immediately turned to his "uncle" house, and after briefly proof from Gao Zhuo, he ran back immediately to discuss solutions with his father.



"Brother, are you back?"

Just now, Du Yi, the thirteen-year-old brother who was bent over in the yard and polished the hatchet, immediately caught a glimpse of Du Yu's figure, turned his head and shouted into the room: "Mom, my brother is back!"

Then he stood up, took the Park Knife and the bow and arrow from his brother.

When he was about to take the rifle on Du Yu's shoulder, Du Yu smiled and refused. The gun was loaded with bullets. It would be awesome if his brother fiddled with it and caused the fire to go away.

At this moment, a joyful and familiar voice came from the room: "A Yu is back?"

Accompanied by a burst of rapid footsteps, a middle-aged woman with an excited expression flashed out from behind the door of the house, with a thorny hairpin and a cloth skirt, a dark face and tears flashed in her eyes.

After years of hard work, Gao Huiran, who is only 36 years old this year, looks at least in his forties.

Two lives have been human, and after a hundred years, the closest relatives meet again. Du Yu looked at the two faces in front of him that had only existed in his memory, and his nose couldn't help but feel a little sore. He didn't know what to say for a while, so he just asked softly: "Mom, where is my dad?"

"I went to the field to weed. I just finished cleaning up my house and was about to go out." Gao Huiran did not notice his son's abnormality. After answering casually, he said in confusion: "Why are you back at noon?"

She knew where her son "employed" and also knew the distance between Fengtouling and Shibi Village.

Now that I get home, don’t you set off before dawn?

What exactly is there that makes my son unable to wait for dawn?

"Ayi, go to the field to call your father back, and say there is something urgent, it's very urgent!" Du Yu did not answer his mother's words, but just patted his brother on the shoulder and ordered.

"Okay!" Du Yi quickly put the Pu Knife and arrow in his hand in the corner of the wall under the eaves, ran quickly outside the courtyard gate, and disappeared into the corner of the path in front of the house.

It was not until this time that Du Yu put down his gun and briefly explained the whole story to his mother - he accidentally heard the news that the bandits were about to enter the village. As for the magic of rebirth and the incredible system, it was naturally impossible to say that many lives were born overnight.

After hearing such amazing news, Gao Huiran actually said, "Son, are you hungry? Mom makes some food for you."

Du Yu was speechless for a moment.

Is it because the matter is too serious and I have to wait until my father comes back before discussing it? Or in her mind, big things are not as important as the son’s food and clothing?

But, where is the time at this time?

Du Yu quickly said that he had already eaten dry food on the road and was not hungry.



The weeding field is not far from home.

But more than ten minutes later, Du Yu met his father who walked into the yard, Du Zhongtai, who was only 38 years old. Because of his overwork and poor nutrition all year round, his father's temples were gray and wrinkles were everywhere. In addition, his clothes were worn and his back was slightly hunched. From his thin back, he looked like an old man over fifty years old.

When they met, Du Zhongtai only looked at the eldest son deeply, said "I'm back", and passed by, leaning on the courtyard wall, gently pounded his waist, and sat heavily on the bluestone matte on the wall, looking very tired.

Among all farm work, the intensity of weeding is not the largest, but it takes about ten hours to bend down for a whole day.

In the chaotic times, for farmers who work hard all year round but cannot eat enough and cannot wear warm clothes, living is a torment in itself. In the past life, the lives of parents will come to an abrupt end tonight. The years that have passed for decades can be summarized in four words - suffering in vain.

Now that everything is back, they must enjoy the blessings of their son in this life.

After resting for a minute or two, Du Zhongtai took out a cigarette pipe from his pocket, rubbed the cigarette roll skillfully, but his eyes looked at Du Yu and asked, "What's so urgent?"

"You will know how to thrust!" Gao Huiran nagged, but handed a cup of warm water to her husband, and then told the news that the bandits were about to enter the village at a faster speed.

In contrast to Gao Huiran's popularity, Du Zhongtai was diligent and frugal, and had a steady and taciturn personality.

He took a sip of the sweet spring water, lit a match without any haste, lit the rolled cigarette, took a deep breath, and sighed: "When will this world of slut be at the end!"

"Stop sighing, the key now is, what should we do?" Gao Huiran stamped her feet in an anxious manner.

"Hasn't someone informed Mr. Gao?" Du Zhongtai asked back.

"What if Mr. Gao doesn't agree with us entering the fort?" Gao Huiran looked at Du Yu worriedly and said, "Or why should we go into the mountain and hide now?"

Dodging is not in line with Du Yu's original intention.

Killing the mountain leopard is his pursuit.

Therefore, he looked into his mother's eyes and patiently explained: "Since the bandits have set their sights on Shibi Village, whether for the sake of face or for the sake of interests, they must achieve their goals. If they don't work once, they will be twice, and if they don't work twice, they will be three times. Unless we are willing to abandon our family and property to escape from famine, we will never come back. Otherwise, we can escape for a while and not for a lifetime, and this battle is inevitable."

"Get a war?" Du Zhongtai shook his head, "What do we use to fight them, hoe? sickle?"

"This is not OK, that is not OK. What should we do? Forget it, I'll go find my brother and ask him to find Mr. Gao!" Gao Huiran thought of it and did it. He immediately took off the apron around his waist, put it on the armrest beside the door, trotted out of the hospital, and headed towards his parents' home.

It was not until then that Du Zhongtai stood up, sucked a sip, then threw the cigarette butt on the ground, and stomped it out, saying to his two sons: "Whether we enter the fort or the mountain, we have to clean up immediately to save the time from being in a hurry."
