Chapter 38 The old man took a shot of chicken blood
Wuheng County is more than ten miles away from Jiuyang Village.
It was already midnight when Gu Chan returned to the village.
At this time, everyone in the village had gone to bed long ago, and everything was dark, and no one noticed Gu Chan quietly coming back in the middle of the night.
Two eels were lying on Gu Chan's shoulders, one on the left and one on the right. Seeing that she did not go home, the eels Baidu asked, "What are you going to do?" 】
"Nonsense, you've become a heroine, how can you not rob the rich and give to the poor? Do you really think I'm joking?" Gu Chan said angrily.
The two eels were dumbfounded.
Originally, they thought that Gu Chan was just joking.
But now they know that she is really serious!
Gu Chan refused to talk nonsense with them, took out the silver from his pocket, and threw one ingot into the yard of each house. This ingot of silver was worth twenty taels per ingot.
Usually, these poor people in the village have to work hard to earn enough twenty taels of silver.
Gu Chan helped lighten their burden.
Half an hour later, Gu Chan delivered the money to every household. After making sure that nothing was missing, she happily returned to her home.
But what she didn't expect was!
When she came back, Zhang Wanshan was sitting alone in the yard smoking mountain smoke, with a dim oil lamp placed on the stone table next to him.
Gu Chan quickly walked up to him and asked, "Grandpa, why aren't you asleep yet?"
"How can I sleep if you don't come back?" Zhang Wanshan replied with a cry as he looked at Gu Chan who came back safe and sound.
When Ding Meihua, Nanny and Sun came back in the afternoon, they had already told him everything that happened in the market during the day.
From the afternoon to now, he was so worried that he couldn't even hit the iron, and he was afraid that Wang Tianxiao would lead someone to deal with Gu Chan.
After dark, Gu Chan didn't come back, and he had already cried more than once.
Until now when he saw Gu Chan standing in front of him, he couldn't bear it anymore. He suddenly opened his arms and pulled Gu Chan into his arms. He cried with tears in his arms, "If something happens to you, grandpa can't help you." What should I do? Don't be stupid like this in the future. You are still young and cannot show off to others!"
"Okay grandpa, don't cry. Do you think I'm okay now?" Gu Chan patted grandpa's back with both hands to comfort him.
Zhang Wanshan stopped crying, pushed Gu Chan away, and looked into her arms, "What is in your arms? Why are they so hard?"
Gu Chan didn't answer, just reached into his arms, took out the remaining five silver coins, and put them on the stone table.
Zhang Wanshan's eyes widened, "One hundred taels of silver? Where did you come from?"
"Grandpa, I'm not going to hide it from you. I stole it from the treasure house tonight when I was a night lurker in the outer palace. I also got hundreds of taels of silver out and gave 20 taels of silver to every household in Jiuyang Village. , I also brought back two spiritual herbs. "Ah? You..." Zhang Wanshan opened his mouth in shock, and his old face turned pale with fear.
Who is Wang Feihu?
That is a local snake in Wuheng County! Even the county magistrate is usually afraid of him, so who would dare to disturb him?
Gu Chan's move was undoubtedly an attempt to undermine Tai Sui. Once the matter was revealed, he would definitely be killed.
Gu Chan was not afraid, she stood up straight, held her head high and said, "Grandpa, Wang Tianxiao was so arrogant and domineering in the market during the day, and he wouldn't even spare an old woman. Such a person is worse than a beast, and his father Wang Feihu is even more domineering. He is a bastard and a common man. Such a person deserves to die. I just stole a few hundred taels of silver and two spiritual herbs from him. I don’t think it’s enough to relieve my anger.”
"I know that such a beast should be taught a lesson, but you can't teach him a lesson! You are still young and have no strength, how can you dare to fight him?" Zhang Wanshan was extremely worried.
"Grandpa, I'm not afraid. I haven't been discovered. From now on, I can be a knight hiding in the dark, specializing in robbing the rich, giving to the poor, and punishing lawless people." Gu Chan reached out and patted his chest, with a look of justice on his face.
Although she said it so confidently, she did feel a little guilty at the moment.
After all, from the beginning, she had never thought of having such a big ideal. She just wanted to teach the Wang family a lesson, and then get some magical herbs to help the county magistrate tomorrow.
Now she can say this purely because she wants to persuade Zhang Wanshan to support her.
Zhang Wanshan was just an honest and honest rural person. This kind of thing was too big, and she was afraid that the old man wouldn't be able to accept it.
But Gu Chan obviously looked down upon grandpa!
No, after Zhang Wanshan was silent for a while, at a certain moment, as if he had been injected with chicken blood, he suddenly stretched out his hands and grabbed Gu Chan's small hands tightly, and then said very excitedly, "Okay, he is indeed my grandson. , With such heroic spirit, I, as a grandfather, am also very proud. Needless to say, grandpa supports you. From now on, grandpa will accompany you in your work. We will deal with those unkind beasts for the sake of wealth. "
"..." Gu Chan.
Oh my God!
Is this old man going to get some chicken blood? He was obviously so afraid before, why did he suddenly change today?
This is unscientific!
Zhang Wanshan changed the subject, "Listen, the theft of Yuanwaifu's treasure house will be discovered sooner or later. If you go to the county government tomorrow to deliver spiritual herbs, you have to be careful. It's best to make preparations first. , otherwise the spiritual grass you sent happened to be the spiritual grass stolen from the treasure house, and it would be difficult for the other party to avoid suspicion. "
"Grandpa, don't worry. I will get up very early tomorrow and follow Zhao Erniu into the mountains to learn hunting. Then I will take a spiritual grass with me and go to the forest to stage a scene of a spiritual beast protecting the spiritual grass, so that Zhao Erniu can Niu will be the witness, so it will be fine if I send him to the county government." Gu Chan said smartly.
Zhang Wanshan breathed a sigh of relief, and the heart hanging in his chest calmed down.
Gu Chan picked up five ingots of silver and stuffed them into Zhang Wanshan's hand, "Hurry up and hide the silver. This counts as the head tax for the two of us next month."
"Well, speaking of the head tax, people from the Yuanwai Mansion came to collect it this morning. It just so happened that the money we used to sell spiritual herbs, plus the money I earned in the first half, totaled one hundred taels. We didn't have any money to spend. Got it." Zhang Wanshan collected the money and began to calculate the accounts for Gu Chan.
Gu Chan quickly took out the remaining ten taels of silver from his pocket and handed it over, "Grandpa, I have more than ten taels of silver left today, which is enough for us to survive for a few days."
"That's good. We can earn it slowly in the future. Anyway, we can save all the money we earn next month. Now our life is getting better and better." Zhang Wanshan rarely had a smile on his face.
Before he picked up Gu Chan, he lived an extremely poor life alone.
After Gu Chan came, the life of the two of them got better and better day by day. They could eat well every meal. Occasionally they could go to the market to make tooth sacrifices and eat good food. This was already very satisfying for him.
