Chapter 132 Willing to Come Out
Someone secretly found Li and asked her to send the child away to avoid bringing disaster to their entire family.
Li responded at the time, "No, it's our fault that we didn't take good care of the two children. That's why we committed such a sin. They were so young, even younger than my Zhou Su, and they were just lost like that. How could they survive in such a chaotic war?"
No matter how others persuaded him, he just wouldn't agree or give in.
When others see that persuasion doesn't work, they stop trying.
But since then, those who were superstitious about this quietly moved away, and would never visit unless there was something important, and would stay as far away as possible, for fear that their family members would suffer misfortune.
When the indecisive people saw that a few companies had moved away, they hurriedly followed suit, thinking that it was better to believe it than not to believe it.
Others, although they didn't believe it, were still afraid deep down. These people spoke as if it were true, and yet they ran so far away. They were afraid that if this was true, their family members would be affected, so they also moved away.
There are more than thirty companies in their team, and ten of them have moved away.
The rest said they didn't believe it and said that Zhou Guo had always been a person with a connection to Buddhism, so how could that be possible? It definitely wouldn't happen.
But others also made sense, "Yes, that child has a predestined relationship with Buddha. Look at her, she has been injured so many times along the way, but she has never even had a fever. She is as strong as a calf. But her family members are not doing well. Didn't they all have accidents? If this retribution can't be put on her, then it will be put on people like us who have nothing to do with it. We should stay away from them. Several people in her family have died, and we can't let anything happen to the rest."
After everyone thought about it carefully, they found that there was some truth to it. Well, as they thought about it, they came up with something new.
"Look, does this Guo girl have some problems too?"
"Ah?" Everyone was stunned. They never expected that Zhou Guo would have a problem. "She is a lucky person. What's the problem?"
"Tsk, think about it, why does her family keep having troubles? Isn't it because she has used up all the blessings of her family? She is fine, she has become capable, and can do everything well, but her family members are not doing well, one by one they are either dead or missing. Think about it, isn't this the truth? Maybe Zhou Dalang and Zhou Erlang also had their blessings robbed by him."
The person who was speaking was an old lady in her fifties with gray hair. When she was young, she and Huang had quarreled over a chicken from one end of the village to the other, saying all kinds of nasty things to each other. Since then, the two families have been enemies. From then on, they would fight over trivial matters. Over the years, the hatred has become deeper and deeper, and it has reached the point where they are unwilling to let the other person die immediately.
After Zhou Guo was born, she often said bad things about him behind his back, saying that it was retribution for their family and that it was because Huang had done so many immoral things that her granddaughter was born a fool. The two of them often fought over this.
However, since fleeing the famine, everyone's life has been precarious and people are in a state of panic. How can they have the energy to think about anything else?
But later on, the old lady saw that Zhou Guo's abilities were growing, and Zhou Dacang was also making progress, and their family could no longer keep up, and she felt very upset.
These days, seeing Huang pass away, I feel so happy. Now that I have the chance, I will definitely put the blame on Zhou Guo.
Most people still don't want to believe it. "How can it be? I don't believe it. We have come this far after fleeing famine. So many people in our family are still alive and well. We have money and food. This is already a blessing from God. Go out and look at those half-dead people on the roadside. Ask how many people they had when they came out and how many people they still have with them now. People should be content!"
Makes sense.
Some of the wavering people thought about it carefully and became firm in their stance. "That's right. To be honest, we are where we are now thanks to Zhou Guo. If it weren't for them, would we have money and food? I'm afraid we would be like everyone else, starving to the point of being skin and bones, and I don't know how many people would be left at home."
The Zhou family was not aware of any of this, and did not realize that anything was wrong. They were busy recovering from their pain.
Ever since Xu went insane, the children from the first wife's family suddenly became calm.
Zhou Xing used to be lazy because she had her mother, grandmother and second aunt at home, her uncle and elder brother to help with the physical work, and her younger brothers and sisters to help with the small things.
She was the one who was taken care of more, and she didn't even have to dig wild vegetables a few times.
After something happened at home, I grew up overnight. I took care of my younger siblings, did housework, looked after my mother, dug wild vegetables, and did everything I could.
Li saw that she had been busy since she opened her eyes, and the cart was smeared so much that you could see your reflection in it. She felt a little distressed, "Xing'er, stop working and take a break. You have been working for so long."
"No, aunt, I'm not tired... I just want to find something to do, you don't have to worry about me." Zhou Xing didn't stop her hands, she was a little afraid to face her mother.
Li sighed and stopped talking.
Zhou Guo and his companion wandered in the woods for half an hour. They saw several pheasants, but they were all on tall tree trunks. The two of them chased them, but they didn't catch any after chasing them for a long distance.
I was panting and sweating profusely. The last pheasant flew down from a high ridge in front of me. I saw the chicken that was about to be caught flew away again.
Zhou Dacang panted and sat down, and found that the ground was really comfortable.
Looking at the lush green mountains in the distance and a few eagles appearing from time to time in the vast sky, I felt refreshed and all the depression in my heart was swept away.
Zhou Guo wiped the sweat from her face, put her hands on her hips and looked into the distance. Although she didn't catch any of the chickens, her goal was achieved. It was worth it no matter how many pheasants she caught, so she sat down.
The two sat together quietly, no one spoke.
After an unknown amount of time, each of their stomachs started growling non-stop and no one knew whose stomach started growling first.
Zhou Guo held his stomach and didn't want to move. He was getting hungry too quickly.
"Hurry up and get up. Didn't you say you wanted to catch pheasants and rabbits? Your stomach is growling so loudly, and you're not moving yet? I'm too lazy!" Zhou Dacang turned over and sat up, pushing her.
She pretended to be reluctant and sat up, saying, "You, as my uncle, don't go to catch rabbits and pheasants, but ask me to go. I'm still so young, you have to take care of me."
Having said that, I was actually relieved and extremely happy in my heart that I was finally willing to come out.
"Okay, I'll catch him, but you have to come too. We're blocking both ends, how long will it take for one person to catch them? Do you still want to eat?"
"Okay, let's go. It's better to catch two. The pheasants are small and not enough for me to eat alone."
I don’t know if the two of them made such a fuss in the woods that they scared away all the pheasants. After walking for a long time, I didn’t see a single pheasant.
