The woman chases and the man runs.

As the wind and snow roared, Gu Tianya was caught up by his 'aunt' again without any surprise.

But seeing the woman laughing and joking, she still had the same tone of voice that was deliberately irritating him. She chuckled and said, "My good nephew, that's not bad. I feel sorry for my aunt every time, for fear that I might get lost in the middle of the night."

Gu Tianya had a cold face. He obviously had nothing to do with this shameless woman, but he couldn't refute it because my mother had already agreed. He really couldn't figure out why his mother had started to tilt her elbows outward.

.

But he had been very filial since he was a child, especially after going through a big change. Gu Tianya has always listened to everything my mother said. Since my mother recognized this woman, he could only hold his nose and follow her.

Seeing that the other party was still laughing and joking, he had no choice but to smile bitterly and said in a deep voice: "Why are you coming out with me? I came out because I have serious things to do."

"I guessed it!" The woman raised her head proudly.

Gu Tianya was a little surprised this time and couldn't help but said: "Did you guess it?"

"Of course!"

The woman suddenly came to his face and said in a very low voice: "You are looking for help. It is just to deal with the funeral affairs of A Yao's mother. Otherwise, you would not have taken the reed mat and ran out of the door pretending to be angry.

, you obviously want to avoid that little girl, lest she see her mother’s body and feel sad again. Right, good nephew?”

Gu Tianya stared at her blankly.

After a long time, he said softly: "People from aristocratic families can be useless, but they will never be incompetent. I used to think that this might not be true, but now I think it really makes sense."

These words were originally spoken out of emotion, but the woman was extremely surprised and said subconsciously: "Who taught you this kind of truth?"

Her pretty face was full of suspicion, and she stared at Gu Tianya without blinking, and then said: "You are from a poor family, and there are no scholars in the village. The entire Hebei Province has been suffering from military problems for many years, and it is impossible for there to be an official school to recruit poor people.

But your words and deeds often reveal a lot of profound knowledge. My aunt would like to know, who taught you knowledge?"

Gu Tianya turned around and left without saying a word. It took a long time before his voice came from the wind and snow, and he said with a hint of contentment: "Who else taught me this? Of course it was my mother who taught me this!"

The woman was obviously stunned, standing there muttering to herself, with a face full of disbelief: "Your mother?"

She was extremely curious and couldn't help but hurriedly caught up with Gu Tianya and asked urgently: "Is it possible that my elder sister is not from the Han clan?"

From ancient times to the present, nine out of ten people who are qualified to be literate must come from a wealthy family. If they can understand the truth on the basis of literacy, then they must at least be raised by a low-class family.

Out of character.

Unfortunately, Gu Tianya was worried about other things, so he was not in the mood to pay attention to this 'aunt' for the moment. He held the reed mat in the crook of his arm and just walked in a certain direction in the village.

Although the woman was unwilling to do so, she did not want to act too hastily, so she finally chose to remain silent and follow Gu Tianya forward silently.

On a cold and windy night, the figures of a man and a woman braved the wind and snow and gradually came to a thatched cottage. Only then did Gu Tianya stop.

The woman subconsciously glanced at it, and suddenly there was a faint movement in her heart. She asked in a low voice: "You said at that time that there were fifteen families in the village, but there are already two families who can't light a fire for heating. Ayao's family is considered one family. Could it be that this family

Is it the second one?”

Speaking of this, there was a faint worry in my heart. Ayao's house couldn't light a fire. As a result, Ayao's mother froze to death due to hunger. The family in front of her also didn't light a fire, but she didn't know if the people inside would also freeze to death.

.

If a person has frozen to death, wouldn’t the ‘good nephew’ come to ask for help but come back in vain and be disappointed?

She was so worried that she didn't even know that her mentality had undergone some subtle changes. She had watched the death of tens of thousands of people with an indifferent expression, so she didn't think much about human life, but now she is very

I was concerned about my little nephew's mood, for fear that he would be disappointed because he returned without success.

Fortunately, Gu Tianya finally spoke and explained in a low voice: "Don't worry, nothing will happen to this family."

As he spoke, he suddenly raised his voice, shouted respectfully towards the small thatched cottage in front of him, and asked in a low voice: "Blind Master, are you asleep?"

Two coughs soon sounded in the hut, and an old voice vaguely came out: "Xiao Gu? Who left again?"

This conversation revealed a tacit understanding that is difficult to describe in words. Gu Tianya only asked the person inside, "Have you slept?", and the people inside immediately guessed that someone in the village had died. This shows that this kind of thing happens often, so

This will lead to becoming accustomed to it.

The only thing that puzzled the woman was how the people in the room could tell that it was Gu Tianya at first glance.

She was hesitant and couldn't help but look at Gu Tianya. After Gu Tianya thought for a moment, he understood what the 'aunt' wanted to ask. He sighed bitterly and explained softly: "I am the only male in the village.

Already."

The woman suddenly understood.

Among the fifteen households in the whole village, there is only one boy named Gu Tianya. It is precisely because there is only one boy named Gu Tianya that the people in the house will know it immediately.

This cannot be considered familiar, but a reality that requires no hesitation.

The woman didn't know why, but she suddenly glanced at Gu Tianya and said softly: "The whole Hebei Province is actually like this. The war has lasted for thirty or forty years, and almost all the men have died. It's not just your village, it's the same elsewhere, Gu...Gu

Son, don’t be sad because of this kind of thing.”

Gu Tianya was a little surprised. He could feel that this so-called aunt was sincere. She seemed to be very worried that he would have random thoughts, so she expressed her true feelings.

He was a little touched in his heart, but felt that it was unnecessary. After hesitating for a long time, he finally couldn't help but thank him and whispered: "Thank you for worrying."

Then he added another sentence, slightly desolately: "I've long been used to this kind of thing, so I can't talk about being sad."

I have seen too much and am unable to change. I can only choose not to be sad, otherwise it will be difficult to live in this place.

At this time, she suddenly heard a creaking sound in the thatched cottage in front of her, as if someone gently pushed open the door. The woman turned around and saw an old man. The old man was leaning on a cane and coughing repeatedly. Looking at his old complexion, he didn't know what to do.

How many days to live.

Gu Tianya suddenly reached out and pulled the woman back a few steps.

The woman was slightly startled, feeling vaguely confused.

But I heard Gu Tianya's whispered instructions ring in my ears, and he said very seriously: "The blind man is the night watchman of the village, and his house cannot be entered. I forgot about this for a moment and led you almost into the yard. Let's retreat."

Just take a few steps back and wait at the entrance of the courtyard."

The woman was slightly startled again and said in confusion: "Night watchman?"

Gu Tianya glanced at her and explained again in a low voice: "Invite him to all weddings and weddings."

Only then did the woman understand why Gu Tianya came to an old man for help.

But I saw the old man coughing for a long time at the door of the house. He seemed to have finally regained his breath. He walked out slowly with a cane, crossed the yard and walked out. He glanced at Gu Tianya first, and then looked at the woman. He was obviously a

blind man, however

But he looked at the person with his eyes, and said "hehe" twice, and said vaguely like a sly smile: "Hey, here comes a phoenix bird with dazzling golden light. It has great merits, but it is a pity that it is bloody.

Not too low, hey, he kills a lot of people."

Gu Tianya quickly pulled the woman, pointed his finger at his head, and said awkwardly: "The blind man's mind is a little confused."

The so-called confusion actually means slightly demented. The woman nodded, but stared at the old man unblinkingly.

But the old man coughed a few more times, and suddenly said again: "Let's go and talk about which family died tonight. It's a pity to leave in such a cold weather."

Gu Tianya sighed in a low voice and replied softly: "It's the third aunt from the east. She left when it was dark."

"Oh!" The old man nodded and coughed: "I guess it must be her. She has been cold and hungry for a long time. Alas, woman, it is not good to hurt the child too much. I will keep the food and drink. Finally,

I still exhausted myself."

Gu Tianya's eyes were sore, he suddenly turned his head and said in a bitter voice: "If I can give A Yao more fish..."

The old man waved his hand and said as if to comfort: "Rescuing the poor does not mean you are poor. Saving the poor will take you a lifetime. I don't blame you for this. You are not qualified for this. Hey, you can help the poor. How can it be so easy to save the poor? Then

If you have to be an official, then you have to be an emperor."

For some reason, the woman seemed to have the illusion that the old man was looking at her.

However, it seemed that it was just an illusion, because the old man was already walking forward on crutches. Due to the heavy wind and snow, Gu Tianya quickly stepped forward to help him. The old man and the young man braved the wind and snow, one foot deep and one foot shallow towards Ayao's house.

go in the direction.

The woman's eyes flickered a few times, and she quickly followed him.

On a snowy night, there were people out at night. A man, a woman and an old man were walking slowly in this small and unseemly village.

The woman suddenly came to Gu Tianya's side and asked vaguely: "The blind man just said that if you don't help the poor, you will be tired for the rest of your life. This is the responsibility of the official, so you are not qualified, but aunt

I want to ask you, if you have this qualification, are you willing to take on this lifelong responsibility?"

"Am I willing to take on this lifelong responsibility?"

Gu Tianya was slightly startled and subconsciously raised his head to look at the night sky.

Countless heavy snowfalls drifting in the cold wind.

We happened to have arrived at the hut of A Yao's family just ahead, and in that house lay a woman who had died of freezing and starvation in the cold wind...

Emergency?
