Every day after the marriage, I prepare a funeral for my husband

Chapter 61

"Aqiao—"

"Eh!"

In front of the restaurant, the lights were bright and people were talking and laughing, but the back was sweaty, hot and stuffy.

All of a sudden, the boss came in from the vegetable passing passage, lifted the curtain, and said to Gu Qiao with staring eyes, "Are you laying eggs? There are almost no dishes ahead!"

"Right now!"

Gu Qiao became anxious, and suddenly there was a "ding ding dong" sound from the back kitchen.In the washing room, he looked solemn, with sweat on the tip of his nose, as if he was rebelling against the pile of pots and pans!

"Humph!"

The boss's name is Ling Fu. Although he looks full of flesh and blood, he was the first person to help him two months ago...

At that time, Gu Qiao originally planned to go farther to the northeast, but he had no horses, no food, no clothes, and when he reached the Wufu Pass in the north of Dayan, he really couldn't go any further. Moved.

So hungry that he was dizzy, he finally walked into the city with his feet fluttering, and decided to take root here temporarily...

"Boss, do you lack a man here?" In a market where slaves are traded and recruited, Gu Qiao summoned up his courage to ask.

"lack."

The cloth store owner looked at the blood on his body: "Oh, but we don't recruit people who commit crimes."

After a while—

"Mr., I have read books. I have studied Bashi, Liuyi, Songtao, Dashu, and Shengyu. I have studied Qinse and tea art deeply. Can you buy me, sir?"

The old man frowned slowly, and said, "I bought slaves for rough work, not teachers."

"I can also do rough work!" Gu Qiao immediately interjected, racking his brains to figure out what the so-called rough work includes, and hurriedly said: "I can grind ink, cut paper, dry books, organize manuscripts, oh yes, I can also light fire, Carrying water, chopping firewood, and…”

The old man was a little moved by what he said, but after seeing his belly, he asked solemnly: "What's the matter with your belly?"

Let me ask, how should he tell people that he is a big man but has a baby?

Gu Qiao lowered his head and said in a low voice, "I... I just have a little illness..."

Hearing this, the old man turned his head and left.

"Housekeeper, is your family short of someone?"

"Big brother, your family lacks..."

……

After experiencing everything before, Gu Qiao believes in the reincarnation of cause and effect, and also believes that Baobao and Guanyinniang are watching his every word and deed.

No matter how difficult it was, he didn't want to steal, and he didn't want to rob again. After being so hungry that double images appeared in front of his eyes the next day, he finally chose to beg helplessly—in fact, he really looks like a beggar now.

It is said that a man has gold under his knees, but when he knelt down amidst the crowd, he even placed a broken bowl in front of him appropriately.

Once, he lurked in the crowd waving a folding fan, as if occupying a commanding height, watching the intrigues and all kinds of sentient beings under his feet, without any disturbance in his heart.

But at this moment, he no longer had that supercilious detachment, he just lowered his head and let out a sigh, very light, so light that it was covered by the traffic in a blink of an eye.

No one would care about that young man kneeling by the side of the road, whether his life can continue...

Watching the pedestrians walking back and forth, Gu Qiao was so hungry that he was in a trance, and suddenly remembered the royal annual banquet last year.At that time, Dian Xu, Dayan's fifth prince, teased him and said, "I'll give you alms!" It was very foresight.

"puff,"

Even in this situation, Gu Qiao can still laugh out loud.

Then, someone was finally convinced that there was something wrong with his head, and dropped a few copper coins. Gu Qiao's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said blessings at the top of his voice.

This is open business.

After a while, Gu Qiao gave a dry cough, and finally shouted shamelessly: "Hey, well, Daddy and Auntie are kind-hearted, and the gentlemen in the past will help—"

It's just that he never knew that begging was also divided into gangs. He occupied other people's territory and robbed them of their way of life. How did this make others live?

The next evening, a group of people approached him and blocked him in a dark alley.

Sometimes, quantity is justice. When a group is formed, people will gain a sense of belonging that feels more secure.

So, when they beat him until he vomited blood, they didn't feel that this was a world where everyone lived according to their ability, and they even rudely snatched the steamed buns he just bought, which were steaming hot, and he hadn't had time to eat them Take a bite...

However, he stopped crying.

After the group of people left, he just pressed his lower abdomen, and after noticing the weak heartbeat was still there, he took a long breath and said in his heart: Baby, do you feel pain?Don't be afraid, dad will find you something to eat right away...

However, he couldn't stand up anymore, really couldn't stand up.

Blood choked the trachea, and he coughed violently.

Looking up, the Milky Way is across the sky, the stars are shining, the bright moon of the frontier appeared in his blurred vision, it looked at him quietly, and finally, it condensed into a pair of slender beautiful eyes...

At this moment, Gu Qiao didn't feel sad or sad, but suddenly felt a kind of loneliness, which came from a huge hole in his heart, as if to say: Come here, come here, anyone, come and probe Look at my ruins...

"Oh, I'll go, I'll scare the old man!"

At this moment, a face full of flesh stretched out, blocking Gu Qiao's sight.

The man stroked his chest in shock, and kicked him angrily: "Smelly beggar, don't sleep behind Lao Tzu's house, you will die farther away... Well, it looks like you are really about to die..."

……

That night, Gu Qiao ate the most delicious food in his life.

A bowl full of rice was piled with green vegetable leaves. Although there was not much oil, the smell was so fragrant. When he devoured it to the bottom, he was taken aback because there were a few pieces of half-thin and half-fat braised braised rice underneath. Meat……

Being able to become a small dishwasher is a beautiful job that Gu Qiao never dreamed of a few days ago!

He worked hard, one day, two days, three days...

Before he knew it, Ling Fu had grown up from being furious when he saw the broken plate at the beginning, to the current cold face: Wash me quickly...

And Gu Qiao also relied on the Weibo wages to finally buy a new dress for the baby. It was cheap, but the fabric was very soft.

More than eight months of pregnancy had already made his feet swollen out of shape, but when he took the little coat tremblingly, he still jumped with excitement!

"what!"

The sleeping baby was woken up, kicked his stomach, and protested dissatisfied.Gu Qiao felt the fetal movement, and quickly said: "I know, I know, don't be angry, I bought you clothes and still get angry, why is it so difficult to serve, I really don't know who to follow..."

"Candied haws, big and sweet candied haws—"

At this time, a street vendor walked past Gu Qiao and shouted to the surrounding crowd.

Gu Qiao's eyes lit up, and he followed the peddler like sleepwalking.

The peddler took a look at him and recognized that stingy man, and he immediately showed reluctance. It was a disaster to meet such a person who just looked at him but didn't buy them early in the morning.

"Brother, if you really want to eat, just buy one, it doesn't cost much." The peddler persuaded him almost earnestly.

Gu Qiao hesitated, but still shook his head firmly.

The peddler couldn't take it anymore: "I'll give you half the price!"

Gu Qiao: "No, I'll just watch it for a while, and then I'll go back to wash the dishes."

Hawker: "..."

Vendor: "Can I give you one fucking? Don't follow me anymore, please!"

Gu Qiao shook his head, and immediately smiled again.

Every time he sees candied haws, it seems that there will be a gorgeous firework pressing down on him.

That night, he sat on the highest point of Jinling with candied haws, saw the most beautiful fireworks in the world, felt the gentlest wind in the world, and mustered up the courage to kiss the most handsome side face in the world——

When the man smiled warmly, a pear dimple was worth millions of dollars.

It's just that he said no, but Gu Qiao couldn't help swallowing when he looked at the sugar-coated candied haws...

He strengthened his mind, turned his head and left: I still have to save money to buy diapers for the baby...

Seeing him go, the peddler finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then shouted: "Candied haws, authentic Jinling candied haws——"

With a sound of "whoosh", Gu Qiao suddenly went back and forth, staring and said: "Let me see how authentic it is!"

Vendor: "...Oh, eight coins."

Gu Qiao: "Isn't it half price?"

Hawker: "..."

After paying the money, Gu Qiao held the candied haws and went back to the restaurant contentedly.

After another busy day, in the middle of the night, Gu Qiao dragged his tired body into a small house with a large kang on which more than ten sets of quilts were placed.

Seeing him come in, a waiter who served food clicked his tongue, and said while washing his face: "Aqiao, your stomach is really getting bigger and bigger, you should see a doctor sometime, the abdominal cavity is like this, isn't it? Just kidding!"

Immediately another person answered: "Yeah, when I saw you for the first time, I thought you were pregnant!"

A group of rough men were stunned, and then burst out laughing, scolding that person for being out of tune.

Gu Qiao laughed along with them, but smiled shyly: "It's nothing."

His facial features are deep, and the exotic style between his eyebrows and eyes is open and clear, and he stares at the two men who are full of plateau red in the room.

There was a simple-looking little vegetable washer who suddenly became energetic: "Aqiao, have you ever married a wife?"

Gu Qiao: "No." But I was someone else's wife...

People immediately talked about it, and they all felt that if Gu Qiao hadn't been suffering from an illness, Ling Fu would have dragged him to the door of the restaurant to attract customers. Don't worry about eating and drinking!

No matter what they do in the restaurant, they are very tiring. They all fell asleep after talking and laughing for a while, and after a while, they snored loudly on the Datong bunk.

The candle shadow danced, elongating Gu Qiao's thin figure. He was sitting at the table with pens and ink placed on top, all given to him by Ling Fu's son.

I still remember that day, when the little guy stuffed something into Gu Qiao's arms, he bared his teeth on purpose and said, "I heard that you can write, so just copy the books for me! Learn the handwriting well, or the master will find out! "

Gu Qiao was taken aback, and asked, "How many times did you copy it?"

The little ghost said: "Ten times!"

But when Gu Qiao finished transcribing, he found that there were two extra sheets of paper.After a long time, he shook his head and smiled, and suddenly realized that someone was spying on him holding a branch and writing on the ground...

After spreading out the paper, Gu Qiao slowly picked up the pen and wrote as usual——

Baby, this is the No.20 eight letter from Dad to you.

How about it, candied haws are delicious, right?In fact, Dad is not greedy, but because it is Jinling's candied haws, I have to give you a taste anyway, right?Just treat it as a holiday, after all, last year today was the day when Dad and your sixth brother got married...

By the way, your sixth brother peeled a lot of longan for me that night.

Later, I lied to him, saying that I bought him a basket of longan arranged in 666, very speechless, right, you can't learn from me in the future...

In the dead of night, with a gentle smile on the corner of Gu Qiao's mouth, while waiting for the paper to dry in the shade, he took out another...

Ah Yao.

Sometimes, Gu Qiao would think, what would happen if Lu Yao survived?

Or, in other words, what if they eloped successfully?

At that time, his guards led him, and they ran towards tomorrow panting together. Apart from eloping, he couldn't find a more suitable adjective...

And some people say that bridges appear when there are no roads in the world.

Gu Qiao was in a daze, and there were thousands of words in his mind that he wanted to say to Lu Yao, but just as he started, he suddenly heard a voice from outside the door: "A Qiao, I know you're not asleep! Get out!"

It's Ling Fu.

Gu Qiao hurried out, only to see Ling Fu standing at the door, holding a big red lantern.

"Boss, what's the matter?" Gu Qiao closed the door lightly.

"Stop it!"

Gu Qiao's heart sank, and he stood there in a daze: "I, did I do something wrong..."

Ling Fu looked at his belly, frowned fiercely, and said viciously: "I see your belly is getting more and more frightening, what if you die here with me one day, and I have a life lawsuit on my back?"

As if a basin of cold water was pouring towards Gu Qiao, he was at a loss for a while, his lips trembled, and when he was about to say something, a small cloth bag was suddenly stuffed into his hand——

It has some weight, it should be broken silver.

Ling Fu frowned and said: "Don't do it these few days, Xiaosong's private school is on vacation, you accompany him to the countryside to visit his grandma, I'm too busy to get away."

After speaking, Ling Fu carried the lantern and walked away, seemingly inadvertently said: "By the way, there is a family named Xia at the entrance of the village. The old woman has delivered many children. She and my old lady often visit. If you have nothing to do, go and sit there..."

Gu Qiao was completely blindsided.

After reacting, after a long absence, his nose suddenly felt sore, he quickly lowered his head, tears rolled back and forth in his eyes, but they never fell.

At this time, Ling Fu turned his head and said fiercely: "If you dare to copy books for that little bastard, your leg will be broken!"

After a long time, Gu Qiao gave a soft "hmm" with a nasal sound.He squeezed the small cloth bag tightly in the palm of his hand until his joints turned white. He only felt that it was so scorching hot...

At the end of August, the sun is warm and warm.

When Gu Qiao led Ling Song into the village, several aunts were eating melon seeds at the entrance of the village, spitting all over the place, and one aunt said, "Old lady Ling, when did your son reunite?"

That string refers to Gu Qiao.

Hearing this, Ling Fu's half-white-headed old lady was taken aback for a moment, and then slapped her thigh: "That bastard son of a bitch, he has such a big belly, why did Xiao Song bring it back for me to see?"

But after getting closer, all the old women saw that it was a young man.

Uh, after a while of silence, the aunt who spoke first stood up, rubbed her eyes and walked home: "Oh, this old man is blind, it's time to cook, it's time to cook..."

"My mother sees that you are not old-eyed, but have sores on your mouth!" Old Madam Ling snorted.

"Grandma!" Ling Song immediately broke free from Gu Qiao's hand, rushed over, and threw himself into Granny Ling's arms.

The old lady Ling closed her mouth fiercely, and immediately hugged her good grandson tightly: "Oh, grandma's sweetheart, it's finally here!"

Gu Qiao followed, nodded and said, "Grandma Ling, my name is A Qiao, and I'm Boss Ling's buddy."

Although he brought Ling, as soon as the mother-in-law came out, a group of aunts burst out laughing, making Old Madam Ling's face turn red from laughing and Gu Qiao laughing inexplicably.

Then, he returned to Ling's house inexplicably, and stayed there inexplicably.

Old Madam Ling seemed to dislike him very much, but Gu Qiao was not for nothing in the crowd of women in the past few years. He never thought that one day this experience could be used in the righteous way.

He waited on Old Madam Ling in a low-lying manner, and he was accurate when he said good things.But he was more beautiful. When Mrs. Ling was basking in the sun on a deck chair, he often stood behind her and combed her hair. It was all buns that frontier people had never seen before.

After combing, the old lady took a small bronze mirror and looked back and forth, and turned her head contentedly, and saw the young man standing against the light in the breeze.

For a moment in a daze, the old lady felt that she saw the legendary Jinling...

Finally one day, the old lady said arrogantly: "Don't think that you can fool me with these methods, I will never let you in if I die!"

Gu Qiao: "?"

The old lady: "You have a stomach, right? But do you know how Xiaosong's mother died? She died just to give birth to Xiaosong! She is my only daughter-in-law! From birth to death!"

Gu Qiao suddenly understood the reason why Ling Fu took care of him. That man with a fierce face must have never seen others suffer when giving birth...

After being silent for a long time, Gu Qiao smiled slightly, squatted down with great effort, and took the old lady's hand: "Mother-in-law, it's not what you think, I don't have that kind of relationship with Boss Ling, because my child's last name is... "

After a pause, he raised a smile and said, "My surname is Gu."

And after hearing some parts of his story, the old lady burst into tears and scolded: "Tell me about you, a good man, why do you want to be a concubine? You are pregnant, and you deserve to be punished." People bully!"

Gu Qiao listened with a smile and didn't argue.

However, despite the scolding, the old lady took him to Granny Xia's house that night.

Granny Xia has never delivered a man before, but at her age, why hasn't she seen such a big storm?After the two old sisters discussed it, they directly gave Gu Qiao a nod: "Don't be afraid, I promise you to wash the dishes alive and kicking the next day after giving birth!"

Gu Qiao: "..."

He chuckled, and suddenly felt that his life would be washing dishes.

In fact, he was also afraid of having a baby, but when he looked at them, the uneasiness in his heart suddenly disappeared—Baby, Dad is ready to meet you, how about you?Are you ready to meet Daddy?

At this time, his stomach suddenly moved, as if responding to him, Gu Qiao felt joy in his heart, and a warm light flowed in his eyes.

The days passed day by day, and when it was time to give birth, Gu Qiao had difficulty turning over. Instead, Granny Ling took care of him more every day.

Gu Qiao was very frightened, and when he was in a hurry to get up, the old lady pushed him on the chair domineeringly, and brought a bowl of chicken soup: "Give it to the old lady!"

Gu Qiao: "Grandma, I really can't drink anymore."

Mrs. Ling: "What's wrong? Do you think the old woman can't cook well?"

Gu Qiao: "..."

In his life, a family named Ling appeared. From old to young, everyone looked fierce, but it was this fierceness that gradually filled the tunnel in his heart so that there would be no more air leaks... …

But he never thought that the accident would happen so quickly.

In early October, on a calm night as usual, a bleak north wind blew up in the village.

At night, suddenly, horseshoes rattled and swords slashed across. A group of well-known bandits from the north swept across this peaceful small village, breaking locks and killing anyone they saw. Picked on the saber!

"Hahaha--"

Some villagers were frightened and ran out of the village wearing their middle clothes, but they were killed immediately in the pond, their intestines and stomachs flowed out, and they snaked like small snakes on the water surface, making people creepy!

Seeing this situation, Gu Qiao covered Ling Song's mouth, immediately retreated into the house, and hid Ling Song and the old lady Ling in the cellar who were crying so much!

Going out now is death. Seeing him turn around, Mrs. Ling grabbed his sleeve and said in a trembling voice, "Aqiao, where are you going now? Do you want to die?"

Gu Qiao's forehead was sweating, and he said anxiously: "I'm going to report to the officials. This place is only twenty miles away from the city. I will secretly lead a horse, and I can bring the officers and soldiers over in a while!"

Granny Ling: "No! You might escape unharmed by hiding here. You have a big belly, how can you do it?"

Gu Qiao shook his head and said firmly, "Mother-in-law, trust me!"

At this moment, the whole village has been reduced to a hell on earth, the screams and the sound of horses treading bones are mixed together, blood and brains are everywhere.

Gu Qiao almost gritted his back molars when he saw some familiar faces who had been brutally murdered.He quickly sneaked to the south of the village, only to see a horse still tied in the shed, and was about to rush over, "Shua", but suddenly a big knife flew towards him!

"Here's one!"

The air flow brought by the blade hit the back of his neck directly, Gu Qiao was so keen, he turned around to dodge it on conditioned reflex, but at this moment, he suddenly felt a stream of heat meandering down his trousers, and when he looked down, it was actually a large piece of blood!

A sudden burst of contraction pain hit his abdomen, he gasped, leaning on the low fence wall to barely support himself, and suddenly realized——the baby is about to be born!

Gu Qiao has never been so desperate: Little ancestor, can you not pick this kind of time?

In the short time he was panting, a horse thief rushed over with a grinning grin, holding up his blood-stained saber, and the strong wind brought Gu Qiao's scalp aching!

There was no way he could avoid it, and he could almost meet his end, but at that moment, a sharp piercing howl resounded through the night sky!

The silver light flickered, the arrow body carried the wind, and the fire became dim under its splendor!

"Whoosh-"

It was so fast, the horse thief had no time to react, and the sharp arrow pierced his throat, and even flew backwards, hitting the ground with a thud!

Gu Qiao's heart raced, panting, he turned his head to look, and saw under the thick night, a Dayan iron cavalry had arrived here at some time, covered in dust, obviously having gone through a rapid march.

"kill--"

The deafening charge sounded immediately, and the soldiers, holding sharp knives and wearing blue armor, came rushing forward with overwhelming momentum, all of which were authentic army charge styles!

However, when he saw the tall figure in front of the guard, Gu Qiao's pupils suddenly dilated...

That is?

I saw the man riding on a noble and fierce horse, with armor added to his body, as dark as night, when he put down the long bow in his hand, his eyes slowly swept over, cold, sharp, making people feel oppressed and suffocated for no reason...

He was so far away from Gu Qiao, so far away that Gu Qiao couldn't see his facial features clearly, but with just one outline, Gu Qiao's heart jumped violently, almost jumping out of his chest...

殿…

Dianchen...?
