After death, I became the cannon fodder of the three protagonists

Chapter 35
Gu Jinnian also helped comfort his elder brother and younger sister, and Gu Pingan believed Su Mo's words.

It's just that Gu Xingnian has been refusing to let go of Su Mo's clothes, and even sleeps close to her at night.

The next day, the morning sun shone into the room through the hole, and fine dust danced under the sun. Su Mo slowly opened her eyes, and saw Gu Xingnian curled up in her arms in a small ball.

In an instant, it seemed to return to my childhood.

Su Mo has always hoped that her mother would have the courage to leave that house, but she was also afraid that her mother would abandon her.

I had no choice but to hide in my mother's arms at night, holding her sleeves tightly, so that if she wanted to leave, she could take herself with her...

Withdrawing her thoughts, Su Mo only felt that her throat was blocked and uncomfortable. The experience of her youth was a thorn in her heart.

Lying on the bed, it took a long time to calm down, she sat up slowly, and carefully pulled out the clothes from Gu Xingnian's hand.

Gu Jinnian, who was sleeping in the next bed, heard the movement, opened his eyes and sat up. Just as he was about to speak, Su Mo made a silent gesture with him.

"Shh, don't wake them up."

Gu Ping'an was still sleeping, and Su Mo didn't intend to wake him up.

Gu Jinnian pursed his lips, and swallowed the words that came to his lips.

Su Mo got out of bed slowly, put on her shoes, and whispered: "I'll make breakfast, and I'll find the village chief to lead the way. You stay at home and take care of your sister."

Gu Jinnian nodded, staring at Su Mo's figure with dark eyes, thought for a while, and asked in a low voice:

"Then did you just leave after getting the guide?"

"It's still early."

Su Mo shook her head and pointed outside.

"Did you forget? The ox cart to the county doesn't start until Chenshi."

Only then did Gu Jinnian realize that he lowered his head and remained silent.

The light in the room was just right, and Gu Jinnian's red earlobes could not be covered. Su Mo looked at her, and she couldn't help laughing.

It turned out that when the cold Gu Jinnian still looked like this...

The lean meat porridge for breakfast is simmering slowly over low heat.

There were four or five eggs left in the house, so Su Mo simply made a large bowl of flour, beat the eggs in, added water, kneaded it into a batter, and baked five large pancakes.

Take one, cut it with a kitchen knife, exactly one plate.

She took another bowl and put it in the pot to keep warm. She carried the egg pancake and walked towards the village chief's house.

Today is not a day to go to sea, the villagers sneak away and hide in their houses to sleep.

The playful children got up early, in pairs, and played in the shade.

"dong dong dong"

Su Mo knocked on the courtyard door of the village chief's house, and there was a quick response from inside.

"coming."

The footsteps gradually approached, and the door creaked open, revealing a childish face.

"who are you?"

The little boy's hair was tied into two little buns, and his round eyes looked at Su Mo curiously.

He scratched his head, but he couldn't remember who it was, and immediately stood up straight, like a little adult, questioning in a childish voice, tugging and tugging.

"Why are you here?"

"I'm here to find the village chief."

Su Mo knew him. He was the grandson of the village chief when he came back to the village chief's house. His name was Chen Xianjun.

Regardless of the fact that the village head is over fifty years old, he got married late.

Yuanyong only got married in four years, and the daughter-in-law he married was the daughter of a scholar in the county.

A scholar is a scholar from the previous dynasty. When the dynasty changed, this status not only did not bring any benefits, but also dragged down the whole family.

The wife couldn't bear other people's bad words, so she threw herself into the river, and no one proposed to marry her daughter when she was over two or four years old.

The village chief followed Gu Jingting to the county town to sell fish, and met a scholar's daughter by chance, and fell in love with her at first sight.

His parents at home had been urging him to get married. After Chen Yongwen inquired quietly, he decisively invited a matchmaker to come to propose marriage.

Xiucai was already anxious about her daughter's marriage. When she saw a matchmaker came to her door, she made general inquiries and felt that the man was acceptable, so she agreed to the marriage.

When Chen Xianjun heard that he was looking for his grandfather, he pouted and moved his position.

"Then come in!"

The tone of the word "Jin" is elongated, the tone rises and turns sharply, and the word "Lai" is hurried out next to the word "Ba". It sounds very interesting.

Su Mo couldn't hold back the corners of her mouth, and watched Chen Xianjun stride in with her short legs, shouting as she walked, "Grandpa, someone is looking for you!"

Su Mo walked in, and after a while, the village chief came out of the house. As for the cute and flirtatious Chen Xianjun, his grandmother had already carried him into the house.

"Come so early?"

The village chief held his cane, looked up at the sky, and estimated that it was around five o'clock.

"Well, I'm thinking about making a boat at a quarter of noon, so go early and return early."

Su Mo replied with a smile, and raised the bowl in her hand.

"You have helped me so much, and I don't have anything good here. I baked some cakes this morning and brought them for you to try."

"You are also part of the village. As the head of the village, I should take care of you all,"

The village chief frowned and glanced at the bowl in Su Mo's hand.

"Although you have received money from Mrs. Wang, it is not easy to raise three children.

Forget it this time, let's not take it as an example. "

Su Mo knew that the village head was kind, she nodded with a smile, and put the bowl on the table.

"Sit down for a while, and I'll show you a way."

The village chief walked into the back room with a cane. Inside were pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and the official seal of a village chief.

Su Mo responded, sat and waited for a while, and the village chief came out with a piece of yellow paper.

"Lu Yin must be kept carefully, and must not be lost."

"Also, I've already told Ci Hai to help take care of your three children. When you leave, just send the children there."

"I see."

Su Mo took it over and nodded cautiously in response.

The Great Yong Dynasty was not very strict about the control of population movement. People at the county level and below did not check the road guides when entering and exiting areas. However, if they wanted to enter the state capital without road guides, not only would they not be allowed to go, but they would also be arrested as a spy.

Of course, Yanzhou was the exception. The capital of the Yong Dynasty was in Yanzhou, so it was heavily guarded. Even if you entered or left a town, you must have a road from the place of your household registration.

But Luyin is also easy to open. If you live in the countryside, go directly to the village head, and if you live in the city, go to the yamen, explain the reason, and they will guide you.

Lu Yin and the child's whereabouts were resolved, and Su Mo felt more at ease, thanked the village chief gratefully, and then walked home.

Seeing that he was about to reach the small courtyard of Gu's family, but seeing Wang Taoqing wandering around the door leading Chen Qingzhou, Su Mo raised his eyebrows and walked over quickly.

"Sister-in-law is waiting for me?"

Su Mo joked with a smile, she had a good impression of Wang Taoqing, and the three children will be entrusted to Wang Taoqing in the next few days, so it is natural to build a good relationship.

Wang Taoqing heard the voice, turned her head to look, and nodded with a smile: "Last night, I heard from my second uncle that you were going on a long trip and wanted to entrust the three children to my family to take care of.

I'm just here to ask you when you're going out, so I can tidy up the guest room. "

In fact, it was Chen Qingzhou who urged her to quickly take Gu Xingnian over.

"I'll go out later. While the children are still asleep, I will lead the way to the village chief..."

The two exchanged pleasantries and entered the yard, only to find that the three children had already gotten up and sat obediently on the chairs, and the bowls in front of them were already empty.
