Chapter 19: Visitors
After preparing the necessary items, Gu Yu returned home.
The wait, however, made him impatient.
When Wang Hu and his group intended to harm the Gu family, it was destined that Gu Yu would show no mercy, especially since Gu Yu had already learned of their plan in advance, there was no way he would let them succeed.
If he still let them succeed after hearing Wang Hu and the others’ plan clearly… then Gu Yu could be considered very useless.
Of course, Gu Yu was no meek sheep to be bullied; it would be more fitting to say he was a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
Therefore, after preparing a grand gift for the ‘guests’ who were about to arrive, Gu Yu wished for time to hurry to evening so he could welcome them as soon as possible.
However, before that, he needed to trick Gu Mengyao and her brother into leaving the house.
“Mengyao, are you home?”
“What is it? My wife is resting in the room!”
“It’s Mengyao’s husband! It’s like this, Auntie Wang Er said she has the latest news and wants to ask…”
“Is there news? I’ll go right away!”
When a strange woman stood outside the courtyard gate, because the Gu family’s main gate was closed, her voice, shouting Gu Mengyao’s name, was so loud that Gu Yu, standing in the courtyard, felt his ears were about to be deafened.
Before, Gu Mengyao had been very tired from going with the villagers to look for Juan Liu.
When Gu Yu returned from town, Gu Qingheng had proactively said that his sister was resting and asked Gu Yu not to make too much noise.
However, now, with the woman’s loud voice, even if Gu Mengyao was asleep, she would be woken up.
As expected, as soon as Gu Yu replied, Gu Mengyao, who heard the voice, immediately rushed out of the room, her face showing anxiety, making Gu Yu truly feel that Wang Hu’s father deserved to be without descendants.
What kind of business was bad that he had to do the wicked deed of human trafficking.
Listening to the conversation between Wang Hu and his subordinates in town, although the words were not explicitly stated, Gu Yu could still hear… the recent disappearances were related to the Wang family.
So, after dealing with Wang Hu, Wang Hu’s father also needed to be dealt with.
Although he didn’t want Gu Mengyao to be too tired, he thought… this was the best opportunity for Gu Mengyao and her brother to leave, so Gu Yu didn’t say much afterwards, only instructing Gu Qingheng to stay by her side and take good care of Gu Mengyao.
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingheng immediately patted his small chest, indicating that he would definitely complete the task assigned by his brother-in-law and keep a close eye on his sister!
Afterward, after watching Gu Mengyao and her brother leave, Gu Yu also moved a chair out of the room, opened the courtyard gate wide, and sat on the chair directly facing the main gate, quietly waiting for Wang Hu and his group to appear.
However, while waiting, Gu Yu thought about it and took out the sharpened bamboo he had buried earlier, then buried it again near the chair, covering it with a lot of grass leaves as camouflage.
Only the sharp tips were exposed, and if you didn’t look closely, you wouldn’t be able to see that there were ‘murder weapons’ hidden in the pile of grass leaves.
“Is anyone there? Our carriage is broken, we want to borrow some saliva… Huh? Why is the courtyard gate open?”
Not long after, the ‘guests’ arrived.
However, the person who came seemed very puzzled as to why the Gu family’s gate was open… After all, according to the information they had inquired about, the Gu family was not like other families, always keeping their courtyard gate open; instead, it had always been tightly shut.
Even if someone came, they had to knock on the door and wait for it to be opened from the inside before entering the Gu family courtyard.
Regarding this point, it was because Gu Yu, who had transmigrated from modern times, always felt safe locking the door…
“Why do you care so much? Isn’t it more convenient if the door is open? Hurry in, hurry in, I can’t wait any longer.”
“Exactly, coming to this broken village is exhausting me to death, let’s finish up quickly and leave.”
“Don’t you see Brother Hu is also waiting? Be quick and go in.”
When the first person’s voice landed, and other voices echoed, Gu Yu took out the black bear from his space and placed it not far from the courtyard entrance.
This time, the black bear didn’t seem confused or agitated, and instead of directly raising its paws to attack, it looked at Gu Yu with a fawning, hopeful gaze, making Gu Yu think that this black bear had truly become intelligent.
There was no other way; Gu Yu took out a carrot soaked in spring water from his space and threw it to the black bear from a distance.
Ever since he knew that the recovery spring water had special therapeutic effects, Gu Yu had not only added a large portion of it to the Gu family’s water vat, but he would also sometimes sneakily take the vegetables for cooking into his space in advance, soak them in spring water, and then take them out to put them back in the kitchen.
Otherwise, how could the three originally sallow and thin members of the Gu family have been nourished to the point where they now had rosy complexions and hair as black as a waterfall, looking like exquisitely carved jade dolls, within just a month and a half?
Seeing the black bear happily chewing on the carrot, being very obedient after being “trained,” Gu Yu let down his guard. He then turned his head towards the courtyard entrance.
He wondered how moved they would be when these people entered the courtyard and discovered his grand gift?
And when the people from outside ‘whoosh-ed’ and squeezed into the Gu family, before they could even show their fierce expressions and start snatching people, they saw Gu Yu sitting in the center of the courtyard and the menacing black bear, and their bodies immediately trembled uncontrollably.
Unlike the ferocity and greed in these people’s eyes, the black bear’s eyes were filled with true ferocity when it saw them.
Wang Hu and the others had attacked the black bear with weapons like swords and sabers last time. As a vengeful black bear, upon seeing Wang Hu and the others this time, it was like meeting enemies with eyes full of fiery vengeance. It even slapped its chest with its paws and roared loudly.
“Oh my God! Isn’t this the bear from last time? Quick… run…”
“Yes, yes, let’s go quickly, I’m so scared I’m about to wet my pants.”
“Wait, where did that large stone at the door come from? It’s blocking the road.”
“It’s over, it’s over, I don’t want to die!”
“Wuwuwu, Mom! I’ll never do bad things again. May your spirit protect me this time, ah! The bear is coming.”
“Don’t panic, pick up your weapons and fight! I don’t believe that today, a beast can still eat me. Let’s go!”
“Let’s fight!”
Unlike the panicked ‘guests,’ Gu Yu sat leisurely on the chair.
He even thought… why didn’t he take out the teapot and teacups earlier? It would be great to make tea and watch the show now.
Oh, and it would be best to have a plate of melon seeds, so it would be even more enjoyable!
Forgetting to bring the most essential prop for spectators, Gu Yu was also very troubled at this moment. He propped his chin with one hand and watched those people being chased by the black bear and crying for their mothers, and he found it quite interesting.
Of course, some people also noticed the abnormality on Gu Yu’s side, thinking that perhaps it was because Gu Yu was controlling this black bear, so he wasn’t afraid at all.
With the idea of capturing the leader first, someone suddenly rushed towards Gu Yu, intending to attack him.
However, they regretted it immediately afterwards.
When their feet were pierced by the sharp bamboo tips, they all fell to the ground with cries, holding their feet and wailing continuously.
The sharpened bamboo buried in the ground was stained with blood and was also brought out at this time, revealing its original appearance.
Gu Yu just smiled slightly at this… If these people wanted to deal with him, they should go home and practice for a few more years!
Thus, because Gu Yu had instructed the black bear not to harm people, it just chased everyone around the large courtyard, and occasionally raised its paws to swat their buttocks.
If the person doing such vulgar actions was a human and not a bear, they would probably be accused of sexual harassment by a pervert.
Gu Yu got tired of watching after a while. The screaming and crying of the group of people wasn’t very pleasant to watch, so he hurried to proceed with the next part of the plan.
With this thought, Gu Yu smiled at the fleeing people.
Then, in the blink of an eye, Gu Yu threw these people into his space and then rewarded the black bear with a few carrots soaked in spring water.
The next moment, Gu Yu entered his space, put the aphrodisiac he had bought from Da Gou Wang into a wooden barrel, and filled it directly with an entire barrel of aphrodisiac.
Afterward, Gu Yu used a large ladle to scoop up a spoonful of the aphrodisiac and began to forcefully pour it into Wang Hu and the others, especially Wang Hu, who was given several extra spoonfuls.
After pouring it all, Gu Yu tidied everything up and immediately left his space.
Then he moved the large stone at the door away, and drove away the horses that Wang Hu and the others had ridden when they arrived, only then did Gu Yu return to the Gu family.
After Gu Yu had done everything, he sat on the chair again and released Wang Hu and his group… Since they were in the same position as before, it didn’t arouse suspicion. They only wondered why their mouths suddenly tasted so bitter.
“Ah! The stone at the door is gone, let’s go.”
“Let’s go, let’s go, I will definitely never come here again.”
“This Gu family is amazing, they actually raise a bear to guard their home. Which bastard said this family was full of children and posed no threat!”
“We’ll settle with that guy later, let’s hurry and run now.”
“Why is Brother Hu spitting foam?”
“Hurry up and take him back to see a doctor! Don’t scare him by seeing the black bear for the second time!”
As they spoke, after Gu Yu moved the large stone at the door away, Wang Hu and the others were like flies that had found an exit, buzzing and rushing towards the door.
And Wang Hu, who had been specially taken care of by Gu Yu, triggered the medicinal effect at this time, his senses began to become unclear. While he was spitting foam, his hands kept feeling under him.
Gu Yu watched happily, thinking that Wang Hu’s thing had already been slapped away by the bear, and how would he get by next!
Based on the medicinal effect that Da Gou Wang had described, and the fact that Gu Yu had driven away the horses, it was likely that the medicinal effect would take effect before Wang Hu and the others had gone very far.
The Gu family was built at the foot of the mountain, and it was quite a distance from the village. Gu Mengyao and her brother had only been gone for a little over an hour. Judging by Auntie Wang Er’s habit of talking for half a day after being told something, they wouldn’t be back so soon…
Tsk, I really don’t know… what will happen to Wang Hu and the others later!
