Carrying the little lucky star, leading the villain on the road to exile

Chapter 111.

I don't know what Gu Kaiping said, but this time five of the seven sons of the Chen family came. It seems that the Chen family wants to make a profit from Gu Baijiang's silver ingot.

Seeing this, Gu Kaichen muttered to himself, "Has Big Brother gone mad? Why would he need so many people to dig a hole?"

These three brothers, plus Zhuang Datou and his group, make five people. If five more big men come, there won't even be enough room for them to stand in the pit.

This funeral can't be a big affair. If we hire so many people, are we supposed to let them play music and make noise?

“Brother has his reasons,” Gu Kaiyuan said, carrying a hoe and leading Zhuang Datou and the others to leave first. “It’s just that we don’t have enough tools. You can go and borrow some more from Lord Liu.”

This time, he felt that Gu Kaiping had done the right thing by digging the pit earlier, so that Suihe wouldn't have to suffer so much.

With a large pregnant belly, kneeling there for a long time, even if Suihe was in good health, she couldn't keep going.

With so many eyes watching, it's impossible to slack off.

Gu Kaichen, "..."

Having more people has its advantages; with ten people taking turns, the pit was dug in less than an hour.

There was no incense or paper money, and no relatives or friends came to see her off. The Gu family kowtowed a few times, silently wrapped Xu Huizhen in a straw mat, added soil, and made a small grave. She had already vanished from the world without a trace.

The three brothers knelt before the grave that night, bidding a final farewell to their mother who had given them life.

Bai Suihe and the other daughters-in-law, of course, couldn't leave, so they silently stayed by their side.

But in the middle of the night, Dongmei wrapped Bai Suihe up tightly in a quilt.

Liu Yun and the others wanted to say something sarcastic, but seeing the three brothers kneeling upright in front of them, they didn't dare to provoke them at this moment.

Early the next morning, they heard commotion at the foot of the mountain, and then they helped each other down the mountain.

Their filial piety is commendable. Except for Gu Baijiang, the entire Gu family has collapsed, and no one has the strength to walk anymore.

As the only one who was intact, Gu Baijiang could only work as a coachman that day.

Even without Xu Huizhen, the Gu family's oxcart can still be squeezed in if everyone tries to get a seat.

Gu Kaiyuan and Bai Suihe, of course, had no place to sit, so they returned to their oxcarts.

Neither of them spoke; they quickly tidied up and lay down.

Gu Kaiyuan turned his head to look at Bai Suihe lying to the side, "I'll make you suffer with me."

“I didn’t suffer too much,” Bai Suihe suddenly remembered the soft pads tied to her knees, sat up, lifted her skirt, and took the pads off her knees.

This is still based on some ideas from movies and TV dramas.

Seeing Gu Kaiyuan's surprised look, she felt a little guilty, "I had prepared two for you too, but I just hadn't found the opportunity to give them to you."

How's your knee? Should we put some medicine on it?

Gu Kaiyuan took the cushion from her hands; it was filled with thick cotton. "You did a great job. It's an interesting idea."

"No need for medicine. It'll just smell like medicine, and we won't be able to explain it."

He had previously told the Gu family that he didn't have any medicine, and if he was going to put on an act, he had to go all the way.

Bai Suihe frowned slightly. "What's so hard to explain? We can just wash it off in a bit."

At worst, we can avoid the two maids and send the person to the space to rest properly. Gu Kaiyuan shook his head slightly, "The more decadent I am now, the better. I know my own body, it's definitely much better than my elder brother's."

You should rest; you stayed up all night too.

Since the two girls were in the carriage, they didn't say much. They each put their heads on their pillows and slowly drifted off to sleep.

The Gu family was not so comfortable. Seven people were crammed into the carriage, and they were already feeling unwell. There wasn't even a place to lie down, so they leaned against the carriage walls and fell asleep as the carriage swayed.

However, they didn't seem to sleep very soundly, especially Gu Antong, Liu Yun, and Xu Yulan, who witnessed everything. In their dreams, they kept repeating Gu Baijiang's ferocious expression, Xu Huizhen's wails, and her unspoken last words.

When Gu Antong woke up again, her head was resting on Liu Yun's shoulder, and the warmth of her body startled Liu Yun so much that she almost cried out.

"Tong'er?" Liu Yun touched her and immediately withdrew her hand in fright at the burning temperature. "Kaiping, Tong'er has a fever."

Upon hearing the sound, Gu Kaiping immediately opened his eyes, still somewhat dazed as he looked around the carriage.

It wasn't until Liu Yun's anxious voice came again that he realized something was wrong.

Gu Antong's face was already burning red, and Liu Yun's attempts to pat her face couldn't wake her up.

"Why is she running a fever?" Gu Kaiping was anxious, reaching out his hand as if to check her daughter's temperature.

"How did you take care of the child? He was so hot, and you only noticed now?"

"I stayed up all night and couldn't take it anymore, that's why I fell asleep." Liu Yun was both anxious and felt wronged. "I didn't even think the child would get sick. Kaiping, what are we going to do now?"

"Is there any more medicine?"

The people in the carriage have all woken up and now understand what happened.

Xu Yulan quickly took her son into her arms and carefully checked his condition. Finding nothing wrong, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Hearing his older brother ask about medicine again, he blurted out, "Where would there be any medicine? Mother finished all the medicine we bought before, and the leftover dregs were all thrown away, weren't they?"

"Kaiping, you need to think of something quickly, this fever can't go on." Liu Yun had seen people become mentally impaired after a persistent high fever, and she didn't want her carefully raised daughter to end up like that.

"Don't worry, don't panic, I'll think of a way," Gu Kaiping lifted the curtain. The oxcart was moving slowly, a speed he was used to, and he jumped off.

Gu Baijiang, who was walking ahead and leading the oxcart, turned around and glanced at him. "Come over and take the oxcart away when you wake up."

"Dad, do you have any medicine? An Tong has a fever."

"Why did you get a fever at this time?" Gu Baijiang was a little annoyed, none of them could calm down. "Where would I get medicine on me? Let Liu take care of him first, and see if we can get to the post station today."

Gu Kaiping asked casually, not holding out much hope, "Then I'll go ask others."

Watching his eldest son run away, Gu Baijiang's expression became somewhat uncertain. He hadn't been this anxious when he was begging for medicine for his mother.

"Uncle Gu, what are you doing? Our young lady is still resting."

Zhuang Datou was somewhat displeased. Even if they were family, they couldn't just barge in like that, and he even tried to lift the curtain.

"Third brother, third brother," Gu Kaiping was stopped by Zhuang Datou before he even got close to the carriage. Displeased, he shouted loudly.

Zhuang Datou held the Gu family in contempt. Yesterday, when they were digging the pit, the eldest and second eldest brothers of the Gu family were the best at putting on a show. They didn't even dig a finger's width of soil with their hoes, otherwise it would have taken even less time.

"Something's happened, come out right now!" Gu Kaiping couldn't shake off the hand blocking his way, so he could only shout impatiently.
