Chapter 650: It Happens That I Brought a Gun Too! (1 more)
As soon as I heard this. Gu Xiaowen's parents and eldest brother almost threw down the bamboo products they were weaving in their hands as if their hands were stimulated by the electric current, and looked towards Xiang Dongliu in surprise but excitedly.
"Benefactor!"
Gu Xiaowen's mother immediately took three steps and two steps, walked quickly to Dongliu and held his right hand in front of Dongliu and said, "I really don't know, how to thank you!" ”
"Well, it's okay, I'm just handing it out."
Xiang Dongliu smiled lightly, and soon asked Mu Lingqian to hand over the fruit she brought: "Auntie, this is a little care that we all brought, it's all some fruits, I hope Auntie can accept it with a smile." ”
"Hey, come here, why do you still bring things?"
Gu Xiaowen's mother was already very grateful to Xiang Dongliu, but now with the fruit flowing eastward, she became even more excited and uncontrollable, and she suddenly pulled Gu Xiaowen after a few seconds.
"Wen'er, come here, our family has nothing to repay the benefactor, your father and eldest brother are in bed again, so let's give the great benefactor a thank you and kneel."
“……”
At the moment when Xiang Dongliu and Mu Lingqian and others stared at each other, Gu Xiaowen's mother and daughter actually bent their legs directly, and both knelt on the ground, as if kneeling down to worship the gods, with solemn and serious expressions.
At the same time, Gu Xiaowen's father and eldest brother, although they couldn't get out of bed because of their crippled legs, the two of them still leaned forward with their upper bodies and kept thanking: "Thank you, great benefactor, thank you......"
"Hey, aunt, Xiaowen, what are you doing here? Hurry up! ”
Xiang Dongliu pulled Gu Xiaowen up in surprise and said, "You guys will make everyone very embarrassed, where can you kneel casually?" ”
Hearing this, Gu Xiaowen playfully spit out her fragrant tongue, and quickly replied with a thunderous death: "We don't do it casually, we just kneel down to thank you Brother Dong, and ordinary people don't even think about it." ”
"In addition, this is the custom of our Gujia Village. Kneeling is sometimes a sign of lack of dignity, but sometimes, it is the most direct expression of gratitude to the benefactor, and at the same time the most noble courtesy. ”
“…… Okay, I don't care about any customs, anyway, you can just pull your aunt up. ”
Xiang Dongliu waved his hand and hurriedly beckoned Zhou Xiaoqiang to dissuade Gu Xiaowen's father and eldest brother from constantly giving their hands.
And Mu Lingqian and Yao Xinlei both leaned over to forcibly pull Gu Xiaowen's mother up, which can be regarded as the end of this kneeling ceremony that made everyone feel very sweaty.
In the following time, because Gu Xiaowen's mother was not prepared for the arrival of everyone, she borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, and directly washed and distributed the fruits brought to the eastward flow to them.
In addition, she also asked Gu Xiaowen to greet them, rest on the natural stone chair under the big locust tree at the door of their home, and talk and laugh.
As for Gu Xiaowen's mother, she ran to greet the women in Gujia Village in a hurry, asking them all to help greet Xiang Dongliu and the others, as well as the 500 Dongmen members who had set up tents in the bamboo and timber yard.
I have to say that the folk customs of Gujia Village are still very hospitable and welcoming.
However, the battle of more than 500 people at the east gate still scared Qi Qi, who was only less than 50 households, and they all felt a tingling of their scalps.
If you do the math, if you follow the standard of a family of three, then the consumption of a meal for 500 people in the East Gate can provide a family of three to eat more than 160 meals, which is equivalent to two months' food.
And that's just the consumption of one meal!
Xiang Dongliu and the others want to stay in Gujia Village for two days in a row, so more than 500 people will have to eat at least today's noon and evening, as well as tomorrow morning and noon, right?
In other words, they have to eat at least four meals in Gujia Village, which is equivalent to consuming eight months' food for a family of three.
Of course, this is only a conservative statistic.
As the great benefactor of Gu Xiaowen's family, how could those villagers of Gujia Village greet Xiang Dongliu and other members of the East Gate with the usual way of eating?
Therefore, when the guests come, this food may not have to be doubled, but in terms of food and wine, there must be enough, right?
So after calculation, Gujia Village, which is not very rich in self-production, is really likely to be eaten up by more than 500 people in the East Gate.
However, fortunately, Gujia Village is relatively close to the primeval forest, and you can just hunt a few big wild boars to cope with the food.
Therefore, as soon as Gu Xiaowen's mother said that her family's great benefactor was here, and brought hundreds of Dongmen members to train here, the entire Gujia Village was almost busy.
The rice is made up, the firewood is picked up, the bamboo shoots are dug in the ground, and the vegetables are picked, and they are very busy, and the smoke has been filled in just ten minutes, a lively and peaceful scene.
"Haha, you girls, you know how to pick vegetables in the field! In fact, when treating guests, you can't just eat vegetables, okay? ”
"That's right, how can you entertain guests without wine and meat?"
Many men from Gujia Village took out homemade hunting bows, shotguns and other hunting tools, and planned to enter the mountains together.
There were several of them, all of whom were still walking with tall wolfdogs.
"Hey, are they going hunting? Why don't we go and have fun too? It's good to help by the way, otherwise the food for more than 500 people will be enough for the villagers to worry about. ”
Xiang Dongliu saw those men passing by, so he pulled out the Type 92 pistol on his waist and said, "It just so happens that I also brought a gun." ”
"Poof...... Do you dare to thunder a little more? ”
Mu Lingqian burst out laughing on the spot, and quickly asked him to insert the gun back before saying, "This thing can't be taken out casually, what if it scares the villagers?" ”
"Hehe, yes, Brother Dong is too tough."
Gu Xiaowen chuckled, and hurriedly signaled: "Actually, in our Gujia Village, every household has at least two hunting bows and a shotgun!" And those who hunt for a living have a lot of tools. ”
"Otherwise, Brother Dong will wait first, and I will take Xiaoqiang and them to borrow the hunting bow and shotgun."
"Then, the other five hundred brothers and sisters from the East Gate will train in the bamboo and wood yard, let's go up the mountain to hunt for them and get food for these two days?"
"Good! Do it now! ”
Xiang Dongliu snapped his fingers with a smile, and soon asked Zhou Xiaoqiang, Gong Sicheng and others to quickly follow Gu Xiaowen to borrow a hunting bow and shotgun, and also took a lot of shotgun bullets and arrows.
After a slight pause, Xiang Dongliu asked Yao Xinlei what he meant.
Just when she didn't want to go hunting, Xiang Dongliu handed Xu Yuanyuan over to Yao Xinlei to take care of, and let them stay on the bus in the bamboo and wood yard to watch the members of Dongmen train, or rest.
After making the relevant arrangements, Xiang Dongliu took Mu Lingqian's silky jade hand, and greeted Zhou Xiaoqiang and Gong Sicheng and other East Gate Hall masters with a laugh, and the group followed the five Gu family men and Gu Xiaowen into the mountain together.
