Chapter 633 Leaving the Forest
So the fourth aunt was full of gratitude for the daughter-in-law she met for the first time.
So she walked over and bowed solemnly, scaring the woman to come to help quickly.
"You saved my son's life, and you have taken care of him for so many years. You did not despise him because he was disabled, but gave birth to children with him and gave him a home. So I will remember your kindness. Let's live a good life in the future. You are my best daughter-in-law. If anyone dares to say anything, I will pull out her tongue and eat it with wine!"
The fourth aunt is getting older, but her temper is not so gentle.
Probably because she was even happier to see her son, so she spoke as arrogantly as before.
Zheng Deli and Ni Yang looked at each other. They had seen the ability of the fourth old lady in her prime, so they did not doubt it at all.
Luo Yi looked at the fourth aunt in confusion, and then she saw Gu Jiulang sign her, and she understood.
So she smiled very sincerely and said something.
Fourth Aunt looked at Gu Jiulang inexplicably and asked curiously.
"What did she say?"
Gu Jiulang smiled, picked up the pen and wrote on the paper: Thank you, mother.
The word "mother" made Fourth Aunt's eyes red again, and then she quickly wiped her tears and changed the subject.
"Let's go, it's getting dark, let's leave here first."
Everyone was eager to go home, so they didn't even think about staying here for a night. Luo Yi and the two children grew up in the mountains, so they were not afraid to follow them into the woods.
But before leaving, Luo Yi anxiously made a series of sign language to Gu Jiulang, and then she was afraid that everyone didn't understand, so she immediately pointed to the house outside.
Seeing this, Gu Shaoyu didn't even need to look at the words Gu Jiulang wrote to understand what she wanted to express.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know about my ninth brother's situation at that time, so I tied up the people in your village. I will have someone send some salt and iron to express our apologies and their care for my ninth brother over the years."
He had followed Luo Yi, her mother and daughter into the village before, and saw her greeting her neighbors, so he naturally knew that they had a good relationship.
Seeing this, Gu Jiulang also quickly used sign language to inform Luo Yi.
Everything can be found in the village, except salt and iron, which are very scarce, so when Luo Yi heard that Gu Shaoyu was going to send something in, she was also happy and bowed quickly.
For them, this is the most useful thing.
Gu Shaoyu's sending these is much more practical than sending brocade clothes and jade.
Gu Jiulang's wheelchair is not easy to use on the road, so Ni Yang made a strap with bed cloth and tied him directly to his back.
Although Gu Jiulang is an adult man, he has become light and fluttery after recuperating from his injuries over the years, so he is not a burden to the others. One person carried him for two hours, and the hundreds of people naturally took him away quickly.
When they came, they took a lot of time because they had no destination.
But when they left, it was different. They only had Cezhou in their mind. They waded through the stream, drilled into the cave, and then followed the traces they left before and went out of the forest.
In five days, they returned to the place where they had camped before.
There were about ten people left here, all of them were young soldiers. When they saw Gu Shaoyu and others appear, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"The general has been gone for almost a month, and he is finally back. And the lady sent a message the day before yesterday to ask when we will return?"
Yes, he left from the end of June to the end of July. Seeing that there were not many days left before the Mid-Autumn Festival, he smiled and looked at Gu Jiulang, and said with some joy.
"Tell Madam that we will be back after a few days of rest. Also, inform them that Jiulang has been found."
"Yes, General."
These young soldiers had never seen Gu Jiulang before, so when they saw him, they were more respectful, but not as excited as Ni Yang and the others.
Gu Jiulang looked up at the sky. It was obviously the same as what he saw in the village, but for him, it was as if he had regained his freedom!
Then he patted Zheng Deli's shoulder, who was carrying him, and signaled him to let him down.
"Major General, wait a minute, Old Zheng will carry you to the tent to rest, it will be more comfortable."
However, Gu Jiulang shook his head and pointed to the stone beside him. The meaning was also very clear, he wanted to lie here.
Zheng Deli felt that it was not appropriate, and just when he wanted to persuade him, he was stopped by the fourth aunt.
"If he wants to go, let him go. The stone is hot from the sun. I want to see if he jumps or not?"
It must be said that the fourth aunt was really sensitive to the pain. She knew that her son's legs were crippled, but she didn't treat him like a Buddha at all. Instead, she treated him like before.
So Zheng Deli didn't care and went forward to put him on the stone.
Sure enough, the places where his palms touched were very hot, but his legs didn't feel anything.
Seeing this, Gu Shaoyu's eyes darkened. There was no reaction to such a hot weather. It can be said that there is no hope for the leg to be cured.
But it can't be said that way, so he explained the situation in the letter, and then sent someone to Cezhou.
Although they had gained a lot in this trip into the mountains, everyone was running in exhaustion and never stopped. Therefore, most people fell asleep soon after returning to the camp.
Zheng Deli's snoring was louder than anything else, but it was also such a sound that made Gu Jiulang feel very relieved.
Gu Shaoyu came over, handed him a pancake and a water bag, and then sat on the stone, but with a straw mat, so it didn't seem so hot.
Then he also got one for Gu Jiulang, and when he stood up, he took a special look under his legs, which were all burned red, so he felt distressed and helpless again.
"Don't torture yourself like this, even if your legs are numb, your skin and flesh are still yours. Although Fourth Aunt said that on purpose, she feels sorry for you."
Gu Jiulang smiled silently, and then nodded.
He ate the pancake in big mouthfuls, and drank some water when he felt choked.
After calming down, he took out a pen and paper and asked again.
"Is everything okay at home?"
"Yes, but the family was dead silent for ten years after my grandfather and his family left. Later, after I defeated the Jin Dynasty in Cezhou and returned to Sui'an City, I took your sister-in-law south to Gu's home to worship our ancestors, and then the family became lively again."
"Then you are lucky. I thought no one would want to marry a killer like you!"
Gu Jiulang wrote down the jokes they had made in the past, and Gu Shaoyu squinted his eyes and punched him lightly, then said in a ferocious manner.
