Gu Erbai's Pastoral Life

Chapter 203 Uncle Qing Does Not Want Her Anymore
The dark clouds are rolling, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse.

The reeds swaying in the evening wind are densely intertwined and chaotic, and the black shadows reflected by the large flower sacs hit the woman's panicked and pale face mottledly.

Like a mindless fly, she rushed in madly, bumping around, her arms kept waving away the reeds in front of her, stumbling and messy all over her body.

Occasionally, the branches of a small tree protruded and entangled tightly on her clothes, and they couldn't be pulled off. The woman's white lips trembled slightly, and she directly tore the clothes off her body with all her might.

The reed leaf cut her white and tender skin, and from the tiny wound oozes traces of bright red blood, dripping onto the pair of delicate embroidered shoes, and the newly sprouted reed bud tripped over her feet, stabbing her toes straight, and the sharp pain came from It hit from bottom to top, and the woman's already full of tears burst out of her eyes at this moment.

With her chaotic waving, she finally pushed away the last clump of reeds.

In front of the eyes, there is a sparkling lake that is as quiet as a mirror.

There was no wind on the surface of the lake, and the bottom of the lake was pitch black. Occasionally, reeds swayed by the lake, and dewdrops dripped, faintly forming small circles of ripples on one side, and soon disappeared into the night.

Seeing such silence, the woman's face seemed to be dull, and the mist-black pupils became bigger and bigger, and a monstrous sense of fear emerged from the bottom of her heart, chilling her limbs and bones.

As if she was afraid of startling the silence, she called out "Uncle Qing" tentatively, and the irregular trembling of her teeth seemed louder than her closed throat.

However, what responded to her was the endless night, and the lake as silent as death.

"Uncle Qing! Uncle Qing! Uncle Qing! Uncle Qing..."

Strings of tears rolled down one after another, and the woman suddenly seemed to be crazy, and ran to the thrilling lakeshore just now, shouting the name of the man, the voice that was temporarily hoarse due to emotion, seemed hoarse.

She still couldn't hear a response, her face was completely pale, and her petite figure jumped straight into the lake.

For the lake water in summer, in the middle of the night, the temperature absorbed by the sun during the day has already faded away, and what is left is only bone-piercing frozen muscle invading bubbles, which stimulates human cells to shrink and nerves to hair.

"Uncle Qing, where are you? Where are you?"

"Gu Yiqing, Gu Yiqing..."

The little girl was suffocated all over, and in the water, her hands and feet became slow and uncontrollable due to buoyancy.

She stretched out her arms and tried her best to probe for something, and she refused to let go of any place. She went straight to the bottom of the lake, but all she touched were hard rocks and handfuls of black mud, and there was no trace of the man.

The huge loss of emptiness suddenly hit the sky and covered the sky. The cold body grabbed all the strength in his body and swam to the deeper lake without hesitation.

She meditated.

Gu Yiqing, where are you, don't scare me, I'm afraid.

At the bottom of the lake, it is getting darker and darker, so dark that people cannot see the edge, and it is getting heavier and heavier, so heavy that it is suffocating.

The body wrapped in the huge lake is like a tired and crazy fish, groping and searching indiscriminately, refusing to give up any place, small whirlpools appear on the surface of the lake from time to time.

"Wang! Wang!"

Among the reeds, Ah Huang poked his head out, his chest raised slightly, his strong yellow hair stood on end, as if he was aware of some danger, and his eyes, which were as bright as glazed glass, stared at that On the undulating surface of the lake, the two front hooves were restless, as if observing something vigilantly.

In the center of the lake, huge bubbles suddenly popped up.

As if receiving some signal, Ah Huang let go of his hooves, and the dog jumped into the water swiftly, its two hooves planed out huge splashes, and it went straight to the bubble.

At the bottom of the lake, the woman's long black hair was tightly entangled by clumps of water plants. Her struggling limbs had long lost strength and could not escape. The air in her lungs was exhausted, and her mouth was weakly swallowing the lake water.

The distorted face seemed to be fighting death, but it could only wait for death.

Ah Huang found his master following the scent, biting his robe tightly and trying to drag it ashore, but he couldn't tear it apart.

Finally, as if it had discovered something, it dived into the water suddenly, opened its sharp teeth and bit off the tightly entangled aquatic plants, struggled with all its limbs, and dragged its owner to the shore safely.

"Yuck~"

Gu Erbai bent his knees and pressed the grass with weak hands, spit out the lake water that he gulped down from his throat, his wet hair dragged the water plants heavily, and he couldn't tell whether it was lake water or tears on his face.

"Uncle Qing, Uncle Qing..."

When she breathed a sigh of relief, her arms climbed towards the lake again, as if she would not give up.

With a sob in Ah Huang's voice, seeing the situation, he dragged her back.

Going back and forth several times, under the contest between man and dog, Gu Erbai lost even a sliver of his tired strength, and his calf, which could not be slowed down, was even faintly cramping, and the pain made most of his stupor conscious.

"Go away~"

Gu Erbai tore off the dog's head, pressed the calf that was throbbing more and more fiercely, tears streaming down.

Next to him, Ah Huang who let go of his mouth seemed to feel the restlessness of his master, and turned around in a hurry.Ji Ling shook the water on his body, sniffing the nearby grass with his sensitive nose.

After a while, it seemed to have discovered something, with a small piece in its mouth, and flatteringly handed it to its owner.

Gu Erbai was about to wave it away weakly, but by the moonlight he could clearly see a few small characters on the sign:
Mianfeng No. [-] Middle School, Class [-], Year [-], Gu Erbai.

her breastplate.

Waterside garden.

It's... on Uncle Qing's body.

Uncle Qing fell.

Gu Erbai took the badge, his drowsy head seemed to wake up suddenly, regardless of the pain in his calf, he crawled to the grass just now, groping nervously with his hands.

It's gone, Uncle Qing's clothes are gone, gone.

And along the side of the clothes, a wet water mark went along the road.

She suddenly burst into tears.

Uncle Qing is gone, Uncle Qing is gone, he's fine, he's fine.

The little girl was lying on the grass, sobbing in a low voice, and kissed the breastplate happily.

Tears hit the night dew, and the coldness melted into one body. Gu Erbai clenched his hands tightly, cherishing it as if he had obtained some treasure.

"The child's father, why don't you say that Erbai hasn't come out yet? Could something have happened?"

Auntie of the Qing family waited in a hurry, stamping her feet at her wife angrily.

"not……"

Dad seemed to have thought of something frightening, and hurriedly pushed aside the reeds and went inside.

Under the moonlight, the beautiful light shines on the calm lake again.

Gu Erbai cried for a long time, although he still smashed the grass angrily from time to time, his mood has already changed.

She got up and wiped away the tears on her face, gathered up her drenched clothes, and walked out of the reeds staggeringly without following.

"Erbai, what's going on? Why are you soaked all over?"

Just rushing in, the worrying elders of the Qing family couldn't wait to see her, and the stone in their hearts finally fell to the ground.

The elder walked in, only to find that her daughter was drenched, her teeth were trembling with cold, her wet hair was clinging to her body, and the remaining water was dripping drop by drop, and her distressed eyes were red for a while.

"No...it's okay, let's go home."

Gu Erbai raised his head to look at the elder, his tone was frozen intermittently, except for a slight trembling, there was no expression on his face.

She took heavy steps and walked slowly towards the Qing family compound.

"Erbai..."

Dad was a little scared and felt that there was something wrong with his daughter's expression, so he stretched out his hand to grab her to ask what happened.

A Niang slapped him reproachfully, wiped away the tears from her eyes, and said in a low tone, "If you have anything to do, ask when you get home."

Father stomped his feet, sighed sullenly, took off his robe and put it on the wet Gu Erbai.

Across a stretch of reeds, the Tianwei New Year celebrations are still brightly lit and bustling, and the road under the cold moonlight is even more bleak.

When the warm robe was wrapped around his shoulders, tears froze again in Gu Erbai's dry eye sockets.

As if she was afraid that others would see it, she lowered her head slightly, looking at the breastplate she was rubbing in her hand with tears in her eyes.

Uncle Qing has always carried it with him. Did he really like it to the extreme?

Is it because of this that he sometimes speaks stubbornly like a child, forcing her to say that she will not leave him, love him forever, and even threaten her childishly.

But what about her?

She said to herself in her heart.

Gu Erbai, if you stab him when he is the softest and yearns for your love the most, will he hate you, will he think that you don't care about him at all.

Yes, otherwise why would he throw away the breastplate, he obviously likes this breastplate very much, and even inlaid it with gold to make it look the best.

But he doesn't want it now.

He doesn't want you anymore, Gu Erbai.

The woman's crying went from sobbing and enduring at the beginning to unstoppable letting out at the end.

A Niang stepped forward to hug her daughter with pity, and comforted her in a gentle voice, "Son, don't cry, tell mother everything, mother will never leave you alone, mother will always be your support. "

Gu Erbai listened, but the crying did not decrease but increased, it became louder and louder, and finally wept out of tune.

If you know that I have impersonated your daughter, if you know that you have always raised a liar, if you know that your feelings have always been pinned on a fake.

One only knows how to take blindly, entangled like a leech, unwilling to leave without knowing what to get in return.

Will you still be my reliance?
Gu Erbai's head stimulated by the cold water began to gradually heat up, gradually became drowsy, and even gradually became unclear.

But her head never rested at all, the screen switched back and forth between Gu Yiqing pressing on her and looking at her bitterly, and Mom and Dad finding her.

It's like being in a movie, like being under a spell.

"The child's father, hurry up, the child is going to have a fever, hurry up and carry her back."

A Niang felt that her body was getting more and more drowsy, and she poked her head repeatedly, her face was so hot that her face changed in shock.

Father saw the situation, and without saying a word, he rushed towards the courtyard with her on his back.

……

Tianwei New Year's Day.

Little Taozi was drenched in sweat by the aunts and aunts in the bonfire fighting and dancing competition, and her face was stiff when she smiled back. When she was finally let go, she remembered to find the wife of the host.

If you have to explain it to the host, the host will not blame Madam.

Thinking about it, she took a step and walked towards the center.

But he didn't want to, he walked around the field several times back and forth, but he didn't find any trace of the owner and his wife anywhere.

Xiao Taozi was puzzled, touched her head in doubt, and decided to find a man who often stayed with the owner, because no matter what, it was absolutely impossible for the owner to leave Tianwei on the night of the New Year's celebration, so it was impossible not to find him. Lord, but where did Madam go?

Could something have happened?Xiao Taozi was frightened by her sudden appearance and ominous premonition.

It seemed that she remembered the shocking thing that happened in the mansion last time in the Waterside Garden, after she left his wife.

It probably left a shadow. The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. She ran into the crowd and grabbed a man, who happened to be a dog. "Wang Changgong, have you seen the owner and his wife?"
