Chapter 1228: Success
Everyone laughed when they heard that.
In the evening, the drying field was indeed filled with people. Most of them brought stools over, and some even brought food. It looked even more lively than a banquet. All of them were extremely excited.
“I’ve never heard a storyteller telling a story before. This time, I finally have a chance to listen.”
“That’s right. When I went to the county previously, I was extremely curious when I saw the customers in the teahouse cheering. However, I didn’t have money in my pocket and didn’t dare to enter. I didn’t even dare to get close.”
“I went to listen to it once. That feeling… Tsk tsk, it’s very beautiful. It’s just that tea is too expensive. I could only hide outside and listen.”
When Gu Yundong arrived, there were almost no seats left.
Fortunately, she was Gu Xiaoxi’s family and had special privileges. The seats in the front row had already been reserved for them.
Gu Yundong and Shao Qingyuan quickly walked through the crowd to the front.
As soon as they sat down, Gu Xiaoxi walked up with an excited and uneasy expression.
Gu Yundong clenched her fists and cheered him on. When Gu Xiaoxi saw this, he instantly felt confident. He swept his gaze across the crowd below. Very good. They were all familiar faces. He was not afraid anymore.
There was already a table in front of him. Gu Xiaoxi imitated the storyteller in the teahouse and slammed the wooden tablet.
The buzzing crowd instantly quietened down. Everyone’s gaze was focused on Gu Xiaoxi.
Gu Xiaoxi was inexperienced and did not know anything about opening lines. When everyone looked at him, he went straight to the point.
“In the distant sea, there was a girl called Xiaoyu. Xiaoyu had been well protected since he was young. Her family was harmonious, and her parents doted on her. Until one day…”
As Gu Yundong listened, she felt that something was wrong.
This story… sounded familiar.
She looked at Keke, who was sitting in Gu Dajiang’s arms and listening with interest. She carried the little girl over.
“Huh?” The little girl’s body suddenly rose into the air. She was stunned and quickly turned her head.
Seeing that her big sister was carrying her, she was immediately relieved.
Gu Yundong held her small hand and asked in a low voice, “Did you tell this story to Uncle?”
The little girl nodded. “That’s right.”
Gu Yundong could not help but pinch her little face and shake her head in laughter.
This was the bedtime story she told the little girl. It was almost a big adaptation of the mermaid’s tale. It was mainly because Keke was a glutton and she looked obedient and pleasant. Gu Yundong was worried that the little girl would be tricked by others with just a little food, so she deliberately made up a story to tell her not to be easily deceived by strangers.
She did not expect her uncle to tell such a story today.
Actually, this was also good. Now that the conditions in Yongfu Village were good, countless people outside wanted to marry the girls in the village. It would be fine if they only liked the girls because of the good conditions, but those people who had ill intentions and directly schemed against other people’s assets would use despicable methods to deceive the girls. That would be terrible.
Xiaoyu’s story was about how Xiaoyu was ignorant of the world and was deceived by a superficial person. In the end, she did not listen to her parents and insisted on being with that person. Not only did she get herself killed, but she also lost her family.
The story… was a little tragic, but it inexplicably resonated with many people.
After Gu Xiaoxi finished speaking, the crowd lingered for a long time.
Everyone was busy criticizing the inhumane scum in the story. No one noticed that there were one or two girls in the crowd who lowered their heads slightly, looking a little guilty.
