Chapter 57: One Less Light Bulb
When Gu Yu returned to Lian Town, he found that the situation was indeed not very good.
Just looking at the uneasy expressions on the faces of the people of Lian Town, he could infer the specific situation based on these details.
However, Gu Yu was in a hurry to see his little wife and didn’t have time to pay attention to these matters, so he immediately asked the coachman to drive the carriage to Yang Family Village, and also asked Xing Zhi and others to follow along.
At that time, they could also move the things on the carriage and take away some grain to reduce the expenses of the father-in-law’s mansion.
And when the carriage arrived at the doorstep, Gu Yu got off the car quickly, then quickly opened the courtyard gate, wanting to give Gu Mengyao a loving hug.
However, no one was at home.
After Gu Yu searched everywhere, he still couldn’t find Gu Mengyao’s figure, which made him clench his fists, thinking in his heart if something had happened while he was away.
If anyone dared to touch a single hair of Gu Mengyao, he would make them regret being alive.
“Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, I found this!”
Gu Qingheng, holding a note, came out of the room and looked at Gu Yu’s terrifying expression, his heart involuntarily sank, thinking that his brother-in-law’s appearance was truly terrifying!
Although he was not as hideous as a ghost, the expressionless silence and the ferocity emanating from his eyes made one’s back chill.
He had never seen it before, and now seeing it suddenly once made people very unaccustomed to it!
“What?”
“It’s a note left by my sister, saying that she is temporarily staying in the village, and if we don’t see her when we come back, we should look for her in the village.”
When Gu Yu heard that Gu Mengyao was fine, his expression relaxed. Then, after taking the note from Gu Qingheng and unfolding it, he found that it was indeed so.
Why did his wife go to live in the village for no reason?
Could it be that they were angry because they had not returned for a long time?
“Brother-in-law, let’s go and see. Let Xing Zhi and the others unload the car at home… I don’t know if you noticed, but no one from the village came out to watch the excitement when we brought several carriages back this time. It’s really abnormal!”
“Let’s go and see.”
When Gu Qingheng saw that Gu Yu had returned to normal, he breathed a sigh of relief. Then, what came out of his mouth made Gu Yu nod immediately.
He was just eager to see Gu Mengyao just now and didn’t pay much attention.
It was still his younger brother-in-law who was more thoughtful!
When Gu Yu and Gu Qingheng arrived in the village, they found that the villagers who usually liked to sit at the village entrance and chat were nowhere to be seen today. The doors of every household were tightly shut, making it as strange as it could be.
Seeing this, Gu Yu couldn’t help but frown, and then, without stopping, he went directly to the village chief’s house.
No matter what happened in the village, the village chief should know!
“Village Chief, I am Gu Yu.”
When Gu Yu and Gu Qingheng arrived at the village chief’s doorstep, they saw the tightly shut door. Gu Yu immediately raised his hand and knocked on it vigorously until someone opened the door from inside, revealing a young face.
“My grandfather went to Old Li’s house at the east end of the village. If you want to find him, go there!”
“What has happened in the village recently? Why does it seem different from usual?”
The village chief’s grandson had also seen Gu Yu, so he wasn’t very scared at the moment. After hearing Gu Yu’s words, he tilted his small face, then thought for a moment, and then nodded to Gu Yu and Gu Qingheng, indicating that Gu Yu was right.
The village was indeed different from usual.
“A few days ago, a group of outsiders came to the village and killed Old Li at the east end of the village. They also went to the small river to attack the village women… Then, Sister Mengyao appeared and dealt with them all, and my grandfather sent those people to the county office.”
“Mengyao… Where is she now?”
“She’s with my grandpa, at Old Li’s house at the east end of the village.”
After hearing what the village chief’s grandson said, Gu Yu didn’t say anything else. He immediately strode quickly towards the east end of the village, wanting to see Gu Mengyao as soon as possible.
Knowing that Gu Mengyao was not in trouble, Gu Yu felt a little more at ease.
His wife was so capable, she definitely wouldn’t be in trouble.
Gu Qingheng, who had been following closely beside him, couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth when he saw his brother-in-law’s completely relaxed expression, thinking that he must tell his sister about his brother-in-law’s ghostly appearance just now.
It was probably because his brother-in-law thought something had happened to his sister, so he was so anxious… But how could his sister, such a capable person, get into trouble!
It was his brother-in-law who was too alarmed.
“Brother-in-law, walk slower! I can’t keep up.”
“You know the way, you can find your way there yourself later, you won’t get lost.”
“Brother-in-law, didn’t you hear what Little Tuanzi just said!!! There are refugees in the village now, and it’s very dangerous! If you are accidentally kidnapped, you will lose a cute younger brother-in-law!”
“It’s one less light bulb.”
“…”
Listening to his brother-in-law’s words, Gu Qingheng couldn’t help but roll his eyes to the sky, thinking that his brother-in-law was really sharp-tongued!
However, although Gu Yu said so, he still slowed down, allowing Gu Qingheng to keep up.
When the two of them rushed to the east end of the village, they saw Gu Mengyao standing at the door with her arms crossed, her expression not looking very good, apparently suppressing her anger, making the air around her filled with a low pressure.
Gu Yu’s eyes were all on Gu Mengyao at the moment, and he didn’t notice the situation around him. When Gu Qingheng raised his hand to stop Gu Yu from continuing forward, he was directly ignored by Gu Yu, and then he quickly walked up to Gu Mengyao.
At this moment, Gu Yu only had Gu Mengyao in his eyes.
When Gu Mengyao saw Gu Yu suddenly appear, her face also showed an expression, first surprise, then joy, and finally, a smile appeared on her face.
The joy revealed in her eyes made Gu Yu’s heart feel warm.
He was finally back to see his little wife!
“Mengyao, I’m back!”
“Yu!”
“Wife! I haven’t seen you for so many days, I really miss you to death. Come here for a hug quickly. I’m really tired of this kind of life. I’ll never go out again!”
Looking at Gu Mengyao standing in front of him, Gu Yu was extremely excited and wanted to hug her quickly to express his longing. However, when he reached out, he was stopped by Gu Mengyao.
Gu Mengyao shook her head at Gu Yu, with a look of holding back a smile, and then pointed to the position behind him.
And when Gu Yu turned his head to look back, he found that the village chief and several villagers were standing behind him, looking over with shocked expressions, as if they had seen a ghost, which made Gu Yu feel terrible.
What, there are other people here!
