926 Who Is Outside

Gu Xiaowan held the purse in her hand, regardless of Cao Xinlian who was lying on the ground crying, but said to Gu Tingting, "Gu Tingting, this is thirty taels of silver, take Shunxi to the town to find an inn to rest first. , buy some rations in the town tomorrow and go back!"

Gu Xiaowan's words were so clear, Gu Tingting's big eyes flashed, both angry and pitiful, when she heard that Gu Xiaowan gave her thirty taels of silver, her eyes lit up immediately.

Cao Xinlian, who was lying on the ground and wailing, stopped howling, and immediately looked at her secretly.

Thirty-two, that's a year's harvest!

Not to mention how happy Cao Xinlian was.

The two children's eyes were also happy, and they looked at each other, and they both saw greed in each other's eyes.

Gu Xiaowan got close and saw the changes of the two children, and without saying a word, directly handed the thirty taels of silver to Gu Tingting.

Thirty taels of silver is enough for Cao Xinlian to bring her two children without having to do anything, and she can live a year with thrifty. Gu Xiaowan held the silver in her hand, and Cao Xinlian, who had stopped crying coldly, said, "Cao Xinlian, I will give you three Twelve taels of silver is enough for you for a year. I give you benevolence and righteousness, and I don't give you morality. If you come to mess around again next time, don't blame me for being rude."

At present, Cao Xinlian is only looking at the thirty taels of silver in her eyes. How can she care about other words that Gu Xiaowan said, let's take the silver first.

He snatched the purse from Gu Xiaowan's hand, smiling with sharp teeth out of sight: "Okay, okay, Xiaowan, auntie just said, you are a good boy! Don't worry, in the future, auntie will not bother you. !"

But as soon as the words fell, there was a smirk in his heart.

I didn't expect this Gu Xiaowan to be so easy to deceive. When the money runs out, she will bring her two children to cry.

Then, Cao Xinlian dragged the two children and ran away again.

Seeing that they were gone, Gu Xiaowan turned around and entered the house.

However, Aunt Zhang did not agree with her actions, and said with some displeasure: "Xiaowan, it's not that you don't know what kind of virtue Cao Xinlian is. You gave it to her once, and she will come next time!"

"She dares!" Gu Ningping raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said fiercely, "If she dares to come again, I will break her legs!"

They didn't like Cao Xinlian, and they felt a little uncomfortable when they saw that their sister gave such a large sum of money.

After all, when they were in trouble before, Cao Xinlian never pulled them.

"No, I don't expect her to come again." Gu Xiaowan's eyes were deep, looking at the dark night, she was worried.

Then he put aside all the unhappiness in his heart just now, and went to the table with everyone again, chatting and laughing to eat.

Today is New Year's Eve, so be happy no matter what.

After eating, Gu Xiaowan walked in the backyard. Aunt Zhang and Gu Fangxi were still busy in the kitchen. The two of them chatted and laughed, and kept mumbling in the kitchen.

Hearing their happy laughter, Gu Xiaowan was also extremely happy.

However, I always felt like there was something missing in my heart.

A large piece of garlic was planted in the backyard, and now it is a long green onion, which is very sturdy.

Although this garlic is spicy, there are really many people who like to eat it. Gu Xiaoyi is still a child, but he also likes to eat this kind of heavy-tasting food.

I ate a lot of rice in one night because of the fried bacon with garlic. At this moment, because he ate too much, he was also in the kitchen, following Gu Fangxi to fight.

Gu Ning'an was reading in the room, while Gu Ningping and Ah Mo were punching in the front yard.

Everyone seems to have something to do. She is the only one who is empty. The longer it takes, the more difficult it will be in my heart.

Seeing that the night was getting late, Gu Xiaowan looked at the darkness outside and felt as if she was expecting something.

As the New Year is approaching, the mood in my heart seems to be getting higher and higher.

It seems that I remembered last year, and I was so looking forward to the arrival and end of the New Year.

After thinking about it for a long time, there was no result.

Gu Xiaowan sighed and fell asleep.

She slept in a daze until midnight, and she was thirsty for the first time in the world. Fortunately, warm water is always prepared in the room on weekdays. Gu Xiaowan took advantage of the light of the red lantern outside to get up and put on her shoes.

After drinking the water, I suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves coming from outside.

In the middle of the night, how could there be horses on this mountain.

Gu Xiaowan laughed at herself and laughed at herself that she must not have slept enough, so she laughed secretly twice, then turned around and went back to the bed.

As soon as he lay down, there was a slight knock on the window.

Gu Xiaowan thought it was the wind, so she ignored it.

However, there is still the sound of knocking on the window, and it seems that the sound is getting more and more urgent.

Only then did Gu Xiaowan really realize that someone was really knocking on the window.

But in the middle of the night, if you don't knock on the door, why do you knock on the window? This must not be someone from the family.

At this moment, everyone is resting, and they are all resting in the room. If someone comes looking for her, they will naturally knock on the door. Who will go to the backyard and knock on her window?

Gu Xiaowan suddenly became vigilant, tiptoed to the window, and asked in a low voice, "Who is it?"

In his hand, he was holding an iron rod that he used for self-defense.

Although I know that the person outside can't get in, this security measure is still to be done.

All the windows of Gu Xiaowan's house are

Made it into a style that can only be opened from the inside. Moreover, the windows were all nailed into pieces of wood, and finally a layer of window paper was pasted on the wood.

At this moment, Gu Xiaowan raised her vigilance and was closely guarding against the person outside. If there was an unfamiliar voice, she would immediately shout.

Xu Shi outside heard Gu Xiaowan's precaution, and her voice was hurried, but still gentle.

"Wan'er..."

When Gu Xiaowan heard the sound, she almost couldn't hold the wooden stick in her hand and almost fell to the ground.

Fortunately, she was holding it tightly. If it really fell, everyone in the house would be woken up.

If this sturdy iron rod hit the bluestone floor, I could figure out how clear the sound would be.
