Chapter 79
Wang Erya, a girl who is over 18 years old, lives in a small mountain village 30 miles outside Jinju City.
She can't live anymore, it's better to die.
She hadn't eaten for two days, hungry, walked out of the village, looking for a place to die.
She walked all the way, thinking about the eighteen years of her life all the way.
She was born tall and strong since she was a child.
At that time, both daddy and elder brothers were still alive, and the family had a very good life, and they had built five big houses with black bricks and black tiles.
This is the first one in the village.
Later, Dad joined the army, fought, and never came back.
My elder brother joined the army, fought, and did not come back.
My mother fell ill, and the family's money was spent like flowing water.
didn’t have enough money, so sold the land and asked uncle and aunt to borrow it.
At that time, my uncle and aunt were very kind and generously borrowed money to buy medicine for her.
But my mother still didn't survive, and left her alone last winter.
Then, the aunt and uncle looked like a different person, and came to her door fiercely and asked her for debt.
There is no money at home, and Wang Erya is unable to repay the debt.
In any case, the uncle and aunt finally agreed to repay the debt after the autumn harvest this year. She also asked her to write an IOU, as well as interest.
Wang Erya goes out every day before dawn, and then goes home at dark.
By the autumn harvest this year, it's time to pay off the debt.
The original debt of fifty taels has been transformed into one hundred taels.
The food collected by the family was taken away, all the money earned by doing odd jobs was also taken away, and the remaining fields were also taken away, still not enough to repay the debt.
Finally, the uncle and aunt stared at the five large tiled houses in the house.
Wang Erya disagreed life and death, but her arms couldn't twist her thighs.
The elders in the clan, the village elders all stand on the side of the uncle and aunt.
Repaying debts is justified.
Wang Erya was desperate.
She still remembered what the villagers said at the time.
"Er, you see that you are so old, and you don't have a husband's family. What can you do. From now on, you are not counting on your uncle and aunt."
"Er Ah, you grow so tall, so strong, and eat a lot. Which man looks good on you."
"Eat so much every meal, and if you can't get married, it's better to die. You can also save food."
"If you can't marry, stay at home and lose the face of the old Wang family? The girls at home are all tired of you. When I heard about the Wang family, who didn't know you, Wang Erya, is a shameful thing."
"Just find an old bachelor and send Er Ya out."
"Yes, yes, there is an old bachelor over the mountain, I will ask tomorrow."
"I don’t know how to look in the mirror because of my own virtue. An old girl who can't get married, dare to owe her debts. Without your uncle and aunt watching, your father and your elder brother are dead, you think you can live. today?"
"If you are acquainted, quickly give up the house."
"Get out!"
"Get out of Wang's Village!"
Wang Erya was kicked out of the house and out of the village.
She thought about resisting, and asked countless why.
But facing the hatred eyes of the whole village, Wang Erya gave up.
She didn't know what she had done wrong and why she should be hated by everyone.
Maybe she shouldn't have been born, she shouldn't have grown up like this.
There is no point in living, and if you can't marry, it's better to die.
Wang Erya, who is desperate for death, walks on the official road with no thoughts.
An ox cart dangling towards her, passing her.
"Girl, look at that person, he is clearly wearing a girl's dress, but he is so tall and looks like a man. Looks weird and scary."
Are you talking about her?
Wang Erya didn't care.
Her goal is the ruined temple on the mountain, which is her burial place.
Gu Jiu drove up the curtains and looked at Wang Erya.
Sure enough, he was tall, with a visual height of 1.7 meters.
In this time and space, it is rare for girls to grow so tall.
Not only tall, but also strong. The back looks generous and powerful.
This girl, looking at something wrong, her thoughts were not true, could it be that something was difficult.
Hey, went up the mountain.
Gu Jiu knocked on the car door and asked Da Zhuang, "Da Zhuang, do you know what's on that mountain?"
Da Zhuang stopped the bullock cart and turned around and said, "Thank you girl, there is only one ruined temple on the mountain. There are a few beggars living in it on weekdays."
Gu Jiu couldn't help being curious about what the tall and strong girl did in the ruined temple on the mountain.
Da Zhuang asked, "Girl, do you want the younger one to follow up and see."
Gu Jiu nodded, "Go and take a look, but don't be shortsighted."
Gu Jiu just said this casually, but he didn't expect it to be true.
Da Zhuang rushed to catch up, and really saw Wang Erya looking for a short sight, and wanted to jump off the cliff behind the ruined temple.
Da Zhuang shouted to stop Wang Erya.
Wang Erya burst into tears suddenly.
The girl who was so tall cried into tears, looking very miserable.
"She wants to jump off the cliff, why do you want to stop it. This world is so miserable, it is better to die and be clean."
A young man wearing a rotten book growing gown and his hair messed up like a chicken coop? Middle-aged? The beggar walked out of the ruined temple and lashed at Da Zhuang's behavior to discourage Wang Erya.
Da Zhuang is at a loss, where is his opponent.
He said one sentence, and the other party has already said a hundred sentences.
"This your last name?"
Gu Jiu stepped up and made a relief for Da Zhuang. The young man who is looking at the mouthpiece? Middle-aged? beggar.
The beggar held his head high and was very proud, "My name is Zhou."
A little beggar followed by a beggar surnamed Zhou and said to Gu Jiu: "He is Mr. Zhou."
Gu Jiu nodded, "It turned out to be Mr. Zhou. According to what you said, you have read a book."
The beggar Mr. Zhou snorted, "Naturally read it."
Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows, a good scholar, turned into a beggar, and things are impermanent.
She said: "It seems that what happened to Mr. Zhou is very embarrassing. Mr. Zhou should know that saving a life is better than building a seventh-level float. Mr. Zhou can not save her, nor should he stop others from saving her."
Mr. Zhou scolded, "What do you do to save her? Do you know where she came from? What happened to her? Do you know why she wanted to die?
You don't know anything, but you happen to be kind. If you save her, you can't change her situation. After that, she will still go to search for death.
It's better not to save it at the beginning, let her die happy. "
Wang Erya burst into tears, and don't know what sentence hit her heart.
Gu Jiu smiled. This Mr. Zhou's fallacies are really a set. don't know what blow he has suffered, so he is so cynical.
"Mr. Zhou's words and deeds seem to be unsuccessful in life. But you didn't seek death, isn't it because there is still a thought and a hope in your heart.
You have fallen to this point, still not reconciled, do not give up, why do you want to persuade others to give up life. "
"You shut up." Mr. Zhou seemed to be stabbed in the foot by Gu Jiu's words, "What do you know. You don't know anything, you don't know why I am here, you are not qualified to judge me."
Gu Jiu looked up and down this Mr. Zhou with a smile.
He has become a beggar, but still wears the clothes he used to read, showing that there is still a trace of illusion in his heart.
Gu Jiu said: "I really don't know what happened to you, but it's nothing more than money, love, and power.
Seeing what you look like, you probably haven't passed the test yet, and that shouldn't be right. Could it be the double blow of love and wealth that made you degenerate like this? "
The beggar Mr. Zhou stared at Gu Jiu with wide eyes, "You don't know anything, you shut up."
Gu Jiu snorted coldly, "You are a dignified man, who encountered mere difficulties, and became a beggar.
Have you read the books of sages and sages for so many years? Don't you understand these eight words if you are struggling with one's mind and one's muscles and bones?
No money, what's so great about being dumped by a woman.
Gritting your teeth and working hard, even if you are copying books and writing letters at a stall at the gate of the city, you can earn daily expenses.
In the future, you will be named on the gold list, become an official, and slap those who look down on you in the face. Wouldn't it be a hundred times, a thousand times stronger than you are now.
And what you are doing now is just a cowardly act, inferior to a woman, it really makes people look down on it.
So, you are not qualified to be here to make troubles, you still come and go wherever you go. "
The beggar Mr. Zhou trembled all over.
The little beggar looked at him worriedly.
Beggar Mr. Zhou pointed to Gu Jiu, "Who are you anyway?"
Gu Jiu said solemnly: "Who am I, does it matter?"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Mr. Zhou, the beggar, laughed wildly. The little beggar panicked.
"It's in vain, Zhou Shian, I have been familiar with Baijia since I was a child, but I am not as clear as a little girl. Haha...It's so shameless to see people, damn, damn."
Zhou Shian laughed wildly all the way down the mountain, and the voice came from afar, "I Zhou Shian, how can I be willing to succumb to others. In the future, this world will be controlled by my will."
What a big tone.
The little beggar looked dazzled and admired.
The little beggar suddenly yelled, "I also want to learn from Mr. Zhou, go to the capital, and live a life of glory and wealth."
After speaking, the little beggar ran down the mountain in a hurry.
Gu Jiu looked dazed.
Are these two neuroses? In a blink of an eye, both of them screamed as if they had been beaten up with blood.
Gu Jiu didn't know what she said today, what kind of cause and effect she planted for the future.
Even more unexpected, Zhou Shian and the little beggar, what kind of people will become.
At this moment, Gu Jiu is more concerned about Wang Erya who is looking for death.
Qingmei stepped forward, took out her handkerchief, and wiped Wang Erya's tears.
"What is your name? Where do you live? Is there anyone else in the house?"
Wang Erya shook his head, "My name is Erya. There is no one at home, only me."
Qing Meiton feels sad. It is very difficult to live alone in the world without a family.
She asked softly: "What's the problem? Tell us. There is no obstacle in the world."
Wang Erya cried and said: "I have no parents, no big brother, no family, and I can't get married. The whole village hates me. I was wasting food while I was alive, so I might as well die."
"Just because others hate you, you are going to die?" Gu Jiu couldn't figure out what kind of brain circuit was this.
Wang Erya looked at the cliff, "You can be free when you die."
Gu Jiu asked: "Are you sure that you will be free when you die? Who told you? Did you know that there are 18 hells, and people like you who don't cherish life and find short-sightedness will also be Was put into the pan."
Wang Erya was stunned.
Gu Jiu said again: "Death will not be easier than alive. There are still eighteen layers of hell after death, with layers of torment. As the saying goes, it's better to die than to live. I think it's easier to live than to die. Besides, you Even if you are not afraid of death, you should be afraid that others will hate you. This shouldn't be!"
Wang Erya's brain was trapped, and Gu Jiu was so fooled that she couldn't find North.
Gu Jiu asked, "Do you know the Xiaohegou Racecourse?"
Wang Erya nodded, "I know. I have also worked on the horse farm."
"The girl who can work on the horse farm is amazing. Why don't you want to find death. So, you show me the way, I'm going to the Xiaohegou horse farm. Afterwards, I will pay you."
"No, no, no compensation. I'll lead the way."
Wang Erya continued to be trapped and stood up blankly, trying to lead Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu really let her lead the way.
When he arrived at Xiaohegou Racecourse, Gu Jiu did not meet with the boss.
She walked around the horse farm, looking at the horses, the grass, and the geographical environment.
It meets her requirements.
Gu Jiu stood up and clapped his hands, "Let's go."
Da Zhuang went to drive an ox cart.
Wang Erya stood on the side blankly, not knowing where to go.
Seeing her doing this, Gu Jiu asked, "Aren't you going home?"
Wang Erya shook her head, "I have no home. The house, land, and food are all used to pay off the debt."
"Has the debt been paid off?"
Wang Erya nodded.
Gu Jiu said: "You should be fortunate to have no debt and be light. You have strength and can work, and you have to believe that your life will get better and better."
Wang Erya shook her head, "I can't find work. My business spread to the city, and the bosses in the city didn't give me work."
Gu Jiu was curious. "What's the matter with you?"
"I'm older, I eat a lot, and I don't have a husband's house yet."
Just this mess, but it can force a girl's family into short-sightedness.
Gu Jiu frowned slightly and asked, "What will you do?"
Wang Erya didn't dare to say anything.
Gu Jiu's voice slowed down and asked softly, "Let's talk, no one here will harm you."
Then Wang Erya said: "I can farm, I carry a big bag, and I can also punch. I learned martial arts from my dad since I was a child. My dad said that I can beat at least ten big men alone. But I haven't tried it. I have only beaten three men at most at a time."
"You know martial arts?"
Gu Jiu's eyes lit up.
Wang Erya nodded, and then began to gesture.
There are rules for each move.
It feels very ordinary moves, in the hands of Wang Erya, it is also alive and well.
Gu Jiu is happy.
It happened that Da Zhuang drove the bullock cart over.
Gu Jiu said to Da Zhuang: "Da Zhuang, you fought Er Ya, try her depth."
Strong lead.
Da Zhuang worked as a errand in the Gu family before, and he also learned a few tricks. He clasped his fists, "Yes!"
Then she took the lead in making the move and went to work with Wang Erya.
The two of you come and go, it is obvious that DaZhuang is at a disadvantage.
Finally, Wang Erya fell down.
Then Wang Erya became nervous, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Gu Jiu laughed.
This girl is extremely weak, but she is too weak in temper. It is estimated that the family members have explained that they cannot rely on martial arts and behave outside.
When Qingmei saw this, she knew Gu Jiu's heartbeat.
She whispered: "Girl, do you want to accept Wang Erya?"
Gu Jiu nodded and whispered: "I have you in charge of the account, green bamboo is in charge of eating, and Xiao Cuibao inquires, but I lack a personal guard. What do you think of Erya?"
Qingmei nodded, "Er Ya is pretty good. I just don't know if her origin is innocent, so I can't stay with the girl rashly."
"I know."
Gu Jiu looked up and down Wang Erya again.
Wang Erya was very nervous.
Gu Jiu asked her: "I can provide you with a job, including board and lodging, would you like it?"
Wang Erya was overjoyed and nodded again and again, "I am willing."
Gu Jiu said to Da Zhuang: "Da Zhuang, Er Ya will follow you back today, and you will let Mother Gui teach Er Ya well. After a few days, when the time is right, I will make other arrangements for Er Ya."
"Small obey orders."
In this way, Wang Erya followed Gu Jiu into the city.
Qingmei teased her: "You don't even ask what my girl's identity is. You don't even know our last name, so just follow us into the city. Aren't you afraid that we are bad guys, do you sell you?"
Wang Erya said: "I believe in girls. When you look at it, you are a good person."
Ome didn't know what expression to make.
In the end he just said: "You are very accurate in seeing people."
The ox cart entered the city, and it was past noon.
Gu Jiu was worried that he would have to rush back to his house if he was discovered that he had sneaked out.
When parting, Gu Jiu asked Wang Erya, "In addition to punching, do you still use weapons?"
Wang Erya said: "I can play sticks. I play sticks well, no one can get close. Even my dad is not my opponent."
amazing.
It seems that Wang Erya has to prepare a rolling pin.
Why is it a rolling pin, because it is convenient.
Gu Jiu told her, "After meeting with Mother Gui, follow her to learn the rules. In addition, you can't let go of your martial arts, especially your stick."
Wang Erya nodded repeatedly, "I must listen to Mother Gui and learn the rules. I won't put down my stick."
Gu Jiu laughed and waved to bid farewell to Wang Erya and Da Zhuang.
Er Zhuang drove the bullock cart and sent Gu Jiu back to the governor's mansion.
As soon as he returned to the Assassin's Mansion, Gu Jiu heard news that Gu Jue was injured.
