Chapter Twenty-Seven: Hunting in the Snow
Gu Ye entered the next room and said to Gu Xiao, who was still sitting on the kang with a painful face: "Grandpa, Master gave me the medicine he made, I don't know if it's good or not." I'll put it on for you. ”
This little girl pulled the banner of the medicine saint and took out the medicinal oil she had made, with a hint of joy in her heart: Well, apprenticeship, there are still some benefits!
If the medicine saint knew that he was in the heart of the disciple, he would have such a little use value, I don't know if he would find a piece of tofu and kill him.
The medicinal oil that invigorated blood and dispelled blood stasis, coupled with her massage techniques, the pain in Gu Xiao's legs was quickly relieved. He sighed secretly in his heart: Sure enough, it is a boutique produced by the Medicine Saint, and the effect is very good.
After applying the medicated oil, Gu Ye took the coarse salt bag that was heated on the kang head and applied it to his grandfather's injured leg. Suddenly, her little belly made a "cooing" protest sound, and they hadn't eaten dinner yet, waiting for their grandfather and brother to return from town.
Gu Ye called his brother up, and the two went into the kitchen. There was a large bone broth simmering on the stove, and the bones had been removed from a wild boar that had been caught a few days earlier. The weather is getting colder, and the meat and vegetables can be stored for a few more days.
Gu Ye used this thick bone broth to make a bowl of gnocchi soup. Drink two bowls of pimple soup to fill your stomach and warm your body.
The pain in Gu Xiao's leg was greatly relieved after the hot compress, and he slept beautifully. In the middle of the night, he woke up from the cold, and his little grandson shrunk into his arms. Through the hazy window paper, he saw a snow-white outside. Thinking of the overcast sky in the evening, the first snow of the year is probably coming!
Thinking of the past few years, every snowy day, his legs hurt and he couldn't sleep all night. The old general was also worried about him, and looked for doctors everywhere to show him his legs, but to no avail.
He moved his left leg, only to feel a slight ache coming from him, which was nothing compared to the piercing pain before. Turning over and hugging his grandson tightly, Gu Xiao smiled at the corner of his mouth, and gradually fell asleep again.
"Sister, get up! It's snowing!! Gu Ming pushed open the door next door, wrapped in a cold wind, and rushed into Gu Ye's room.
Gu Ye had already woken up, but the thin clothes on his body couldn't withstand the cold of the first snow, so he could only wrap himself in the quilt and huddle on the warm kang.
When Gu Ming saw it, he put his cold hand on his sister's red face, and in exchange for his sister's dissatisfied protests, he laughed a few times and said, "Fortunately, I bought cotton and cloth back yesterday." Grandpa has already gone to ask the ninth aunt and the third grandmother to help, and we can cover the new quilt tonight! By the way, the rabbit skin vest that Aunt Jiu helped you make, you quickly put it on. Wear layers of clothing and don't freeze. ”
Since coming out of the Gu family, Gu Ming's temperament has become much more lively, gradually revealing the liveliness and naughtiness of an eleven or twelve-year-old boy. Gu Ye saw his brother's changes in his eyes and felt that his grandfather was really the salvation of their brother and sister.
If it weren't for the Liu family, who was passed on to her grandfather and regarded her as a thorn in her side, I don't know how she and her brother would be tossed. The cold and long winter, with little clothing and less clothing, is not sure whether they can survive it.
"Wow! What a lot of snow! "Snow covered the entire yard, and the roofs and treetops were covered with snowflakes. The snow had stopped, and the sun had come out, shining on the white and flawless snow, reflecting a dazzling light. In his previous life, the greenhouse effect was intensifying, and Gu Ye, who hadn't seen snow for many years, couldn't help but exclaim.
Gu Ming made a snowball and gently smashed it on a tree in the courtyard, and immediately sprinkled white powder all over the sky. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "What's this snow? In previous years, when the snow was the heaviest, you disappeared as soon as you went out, and the snow was over your head! ”
"Gu Ming, go up the mountain to catch hares, do you want to go?" Zhang Lihu's rough voice in the voice change period came from outside the door.
"Go! Why not go? Brother Lihu, can you wait for me a while, I haven't eaten yet! "On snowy days, hares can't run fast in the snow, and it's much easier to catch than usual.
At this time last year, Gu Ming followed Zhang Orion's father and son up the mountain to catch a hare, don't say it, let him catch one. He caught the rabbit, but when he divided the rabbit meat, he and his sister got only bones. Even if it's a bone, my sister still gnaws it with relish...... Thinking of this, Gu Ming's nose was sour.
"Brother, wait for me!" Gu Ye, who had no experience in walking in the snow, followed behind everyone with difficulty, slipping step by step, and falling from time to time. Fortunately, I wore a lot of clothes, and I didn't fall out of a good way.
Gu Ming glanced back at her lagging sister, reluctantly turned back, and held her when her sister fell into the snow again.
Zhang Lihu also came over, grabbed Gu Ye's other arm, and complained to Gu Ming angrily: "I don't let you take her, you have to bring it." Look, it's dragging its feet, right? Although he kept complaining, his hand helped Gu Ye all the way forward.
"Thank you, Brother Lihu-" Gu Ye thanked her, her sugar index exploded, and she herself was trembling. Oh my god, she's really not coquettish, she almost didn't disgust herself to death!
These days, Gu Ye has gained some weight, his eye sockets are no longer deep, and his cheeks have some flesh. Her facial features are already exquisite, with big eyes, long eyelashes, a high nose bridge, a small mouth, and a palm-sized melon seed face, her small appearance is quite standard.
Such a peugeot little beauty, smiled sweetly at him, Zhang Lihu, a half-grown teenager, couldn't hold it, blushed, and couldn't complain. However, his skin is dark, and others really can't see that he is blushing.
At this time, a fat hare emerged from the dead grass not far away and fled in a panic. Gu Ming shouted and rushed over: "Rabbit, rabbit!" Uncle Zhang, hurry, grab it!! ”
With a hunting fork in his hand, Zhang Orion stabbed at the hare. The hare twisted around, dodged the hunting fork, and fled for his life in the midst of the trio's pursuit.
Gu Ye also wanted to go up to help, but after taking a few steps, his feet slipped, and he fell into the sky, and his little face was buried in the snow, how embarrassed he was. Fortunately, Zhang Lihu and his brother's attention was on the rabbit, otherwise they would have been laughed at by the two again.
She got up from the ground and carefully shifted her steps. Upon looking up, a red-billed blue finch perched on a shrub and pecked at the seeds of a snowy plant. She pulled out a small slingshot, tightened the leather rope, aimed at the target, and shot the stone out. The poor bird fell in response, and Gu Ye walked over with difficult steps and picked up the prey.
Not far away, when the hare was exhausted by tossing, Zhang Lihu pounced and pressed the hare under him.
"Haha! Caught! Zhang Lihu carried the two ears of the fat rabbit and showed it in the direction of Gu Ye. Gu Ye also showed him the red-billed blue in his hand.
"Yo! This slingshot is good, your grandfather made it for you, right? Zhang Lihu saw the slingshot in her hand, stuffed the hare into Gu Ming's hand, grabbed the slingshot and tried it, feeling that the tenacity was better than his own.
This slingshot was made by Gu Ye who dismantled an alloy slingshot and replaced it with a wooden handle, with high-quality rubber bands, and the elasticity was naturally much better than Zhang Lihu's. No wonder Zhang Lihu can't put it down!
In order not to drag down others, the brother and sister quickly separated from Zhang Lihu's father and son. The brother and sister first went to the trap they had dug to see that the dead grass on it had been crushed by the snow and was empty.
This is because the hidden fish, who was responsible for throwing prey into the trap, was finally recalled by his master, and the thing was so excited that he almost didn't cry. Thinking about the leading figure in his hidden guard, he follows a little girl behind her ass every day to be an old mother, what is it!
Although no prey was caught in the trap, the siblings did not find nothing. Gu Ye used her slingshot to shoot a stick chicken and three big. Her unique skill made Gu Ming's eyes hot for a while, and she pestered Gu Ye to teach him to shoot a slingshot.
"Gu Ye, the old man you rescued is really a very powerful doctor? I heard that your grandfather's leg, that doctor can heal it? The brother and sister carried the prey into the village, and Aunt Wu greeted her eagerly with a smile on her face.
Seeing the in Gu Ming's hand, a trace of greed and jealousy flashed in her eyes. However, the stick chicken is important, but the task entrusted to her by her is even more important.
"Is my master a doctor, what does it matter to you whether the medical skills are strong or not?" Gu Ye didn't have a good impression of Aunt Wu at all. How can there be such a person, whose skin is thicker than the city wall, and who only thinks about taking advantage of others all day long.
"Master? Did the doctor take you as an apprentice? You little girl, your hair hasn't grown, what can you do? "Aunt Wu heard it, is this worth it? This girl is going to steal business with her!
Originally, she had come to inquire about when the old gentleman with good medical skills was going to leave. There are more than 30 households in Qingshan Village, and every time the midwinter comes, the number of people suffering from cold and illness will increase exponentially.
Early this morning, Wu Angelica saw the lame Gu Wu, his leg was not so lame, and he didn't use crutches when he walked in the snow, so he stepped forward to ask in wonder, and learned that it was the old gentleman who Gu Ye rescued from the mountains to treat him. An alarm bell immediately sounded in his heart: If this old gentleman stays in Qingshan Village for a winter, then he can't drink the northwest wind next year?
So, Aunt Wu waited in this cold wind for more than an hour, and finally waited for the brother and sister to come back. But the news I got was that Gu Ye, a dead girl, studied medicine with the old man. That old gentleman was recuperating in Gu Wu's house, and there was always a time to go back. However, if this girl learns the skills of the old gentleman, will there be a way for them to live in the future?
"I've never heard of a woman studying medicine. If you think about it, when you see a patient, you have to have contact with the patient. A girl, if it is known that she touches a man's hands and body all day long, who will dare to marry you in the future? Gu Ye'er, the eldest lady is thinking about you, you must not know what is wrong! ”
Aunt Wu scared her life's events, thinking that in this way, this timid girl would definitely give up the idea of studying medicine.
