However, when he met the excited eyes of the two children, he couldn't bear to let the children down. Get! Bring it with you! In case of a herd of wild boars, he is responsible for attracting the attention of the wild boars and creating a chance for the children to escape!

"If you're in danger, you don't care about anything, just run, you know?" When he was about to arrive at Wild Boar Ridge, he said a word of advice uneasily. Li Hao and Li Xiuniang, brother and sister, also followed, if something happened to them, Gu Xiao would not be able to explain it to the village elder brother!

"Hmmm! If we stay, we will only drag grandpa back, and protecting ourselves is the most important thing! Gu Ye said to remind his brother. She knew that her brother was the most affectionate, and she was afraid that he would rush forward in danger, and when the time came, he would become a drag.

"Or my good granddaughter is smart!" Gu Xiao nodded approvingly at her, although this granddaughter was born weak, she was quite temperamental towards him. Gu Ye replied to him with a bright smile.

The people climbed over a mountain and came to a pine forest. "Shhhhhhhh The feces left by the wild boar are quite fresh, and they must have just left. Gu Xiao clenched the long knife in his hand and looked around vigilantly. With four children behind him, it's no wonder he's so nervous!

Sure that the wild boar had gone away, Gu Xiao let down his guard, turned around and smiled at a few nervous little guys, and said, "The trap is set here!" ”

Gu Xiao took the two boys to dig traps, and Gu Ye found a bush of mushrooms, so he took Li Xiuniang to pick up the mushrooms. Gu Ming was not at ease, and glanced up in her direction from time to time, and did not forget to remind her: "Don't go far, be careful of encountering wild boars!" ”

It is naturally impossible for the wild boar god horse to meet, because the smell of animal repellent powder on her body has not yet dissipated! Gu Yehuan picked up mushrooms on the ground, this is matsutake mushroom, lubricating and refreshing, full of fragrance, wild boar loves to eat, no wonder this place is called Wild Boar Ridge!

Li Xiuniang was nervous at first, but seeing that Gu Ye was so relaxed, she quickly integrated into the mushroom-picking team. By the time the trap was dug, the two little girls had already picked a bunch of mushrooms, Gu Ye lifted the placket of his clothes and put the mushrooms in his pocket, grinning and revealing his white teeth, and the smile was brighter than the sun.

"Give me the mushrooms, you're a girl, act like a girl." For the sake of this sister, Gu Ming was really heartbroken, he took off the coat of patches and patches, and was about to take the mushrooms. In late autumn weather, the forest was dark and deep, and the cold was even deeper, so Gu Ming wore two pieces inside and out, and couldn't help but shrank and shiver when he took off his clothes.

Seeing this, Gu Xiao cut a few rattans with a long knife, his fingers flew over, and he quickly made a simple basket: "Don't push and pull, put the mushrooms here." Little leaves, you really have you, picked so many pine mushrooms. Good guys, there's a few more pimples! This stewed chicken doesn't taste so beautiful! ”

The pine pimple he said was a truffle dug out of the soil by Gu Ye, which had a high nutritional value. She was lucky enough to dig up a few pieces today.

Back home, just in time to make dinner. In the open space next to the construction site, in the temporary grass shed, Aunt Jiu and several aunts in the village were busy making dinner.

The staple food is two rice of sorghum rice, stewed in two large pots, and I am afraid that it will not be enough to eat, and I steamed Erhe noodles steamed buns. A pot of pork lard stewed cabbage, a large pot of potatoes roasted hare meat. The hare was brought back from the trap by Gu Ye yesterday.

"Let's eat!" Aunt Jiu took a long spoon and knocked it on the pot with vegetables a few times. The crowd who was busy on the construction site gathered around after washing their hands. They held the coarse porcelain bowl they brought from their own house, the third grandmother filled the rice, the ninth aunt cooked the vegetables, and then went to the steamed basket to get a steamed bun, and scattered them to various corners to squat and eat.

There is no way, Gu Xiao's family has no tables, no stools and bowls, and there are not enough, so they can only be wronged. The big guys didn't feel wronged, so many people gathered around, eating and talking, it was quite lively.

Some people who came to help, felt sorry for the children at home, rushed home after eating, shared the meat and vegetables with the children, and then came back to continue to help after eating at home.

Suddenly, a thin figure appeared in the cooking team, she squeezed to the front, and handed over the bowl in her hand with confidence. Seeing the person in front of him clearly, the rice spoon in the third grandmother's hand was stunned, and she frowned: "Wu family, you didn't come to help cook, and you didn't build a house, how can you have the face to eat other people's things?" ”

This mother-in-law, where there is a cheap one, drill it. Most of the people in the village didn't like her.

"Who says we didn't help? Someone on your construction site smashed their feet, didn't my man show it? What is that not a help? Aunt Wu said in a natural tone, "Hurry up and eat, our head is still hungry." ”

The third grandmother threw the rice spoon into the pot and sneered: "Someone was injured today, and Dr. Wu also came to see it!" ”

When Aunt Wu showed a smug look on her face, she continued: "However, for a small wound, Doctor Wu received ten cents from Gu Xiao!" ”

"That's, that's it!! We gave money for the treatment of injuries, so what is it called help? "This Wu Angelica's popularity in the village is not good, everyone is a fellow villager, some minor illnesses and injuries, and those who work hard, it stands to reason that they only need to give some money for medicine. But he was good, and he received more than the consultation fee of the doctor in the town's Jimin Hall. Coupled with the temperament of his mother-in-law, there are really few people in the village who treat him.

"If you want to eat, you can eat! Refund the ten cents! If you don't eat, get out of the way and don't delay others from eating! "The third grandmother can't get used to her wanting to take advantage of everything, so she won't get used to her.

Thinking of his man's dead temper, how could he spit out the copper plate in his hand again. Aunt Wu spat on the ground and left stupidly.

This little episode does not affect the mood of the big guys at dinner. Everyone was eating and talking, and there were at least four or five pieces of rabbit meat in each person's bowl on average, plus the cabbage was stewed in meat oil, which of course tasted good.

"Fifth uncle," it was Gu Chen, the eldest son of the patriarch, who spoke, who was only five years younger than Gu Xiao, "that is, your family can come up with such a good meal." You've been hunting for so many years, and you haven't left it behind. ”

When Gu Xiao joined the army, he was already more than ten years old. When he was a child, Gu Chen often followed the fifth uncle of the same age, and sometimes he could pick up leaks and get a pheasant and hare back.

Gu Ye took one or two prey from the mountain from time to time, and the big guys thought it was Gu Xiao's credit. Digging traps to catch prey, he is the best!

Gu Xiao smiled but said nothing. His grandchildren are capable, only he knows, so as not to provoke other people's pink eye and muttering about the two children behind his back.

The next day was a big day for Shangliang. Early in the morning, Gu Xiao carried a half-sized small wild boar from the Wild Boar Ridge. The children led by Gu Ming screamed and laughed around the prey, as if they were celebrating a festival. The hidden guard, who watched this scene from afar, wiped a handful of non-existent tears - he was chased by the wild boar herd for most of the night last night in order to lure this little wild boar into the trap!

Under the abbot of the patriarch, after a simple ceremony, the beam was ready. The villagers don't have so many cumbersome rules, so they spread thick straw on the roof and press it densely. Even the two wooden sheds, the kitchen and the utility room, are mostly built.

Today's hospitality to the guests are all hard dishes: two roasted roe deer legs, a pot full of roe deer meat, a pot of spicy fried roe deer meat, pheasant stewed mushrooms, braised pork, yam stewed pork ribs, stir-fried large intestine, yam fungus, matsutake fungus soup...... Many dishes were dictated by Gu Ye and completed by a few daughters-in-law in the village who had good cooking skills.

The aroma of the dishes fills almost the entire forest, wafting to every corner of Aoyama Village. Those who had nothing to do with Gu Xiao and couldn't get along could only sniff and nibble on the thick and hard cakes with this thick fragrance.

Gu Xiao borrowed tables and stools from the village and laid them out high and low. The people who have come to help these days have all invited them over and had a lively meal.

Of course, Aunt Wu and Liu are not among them. Aunt Wu held the rice bowl, saw the Liu family who was also looking at the mountain in front of the door, and leaned over and said: "The two children of his family are still from your family, these are serious relatives, and they didn't invite you over." It seems that people don't take you seriously at all. ”

"That old man, he holds a grudge against us! He is thinking about our succession, and he will be in charge of his old age! Think about it, he's lame on one leg, and he's getting older, if there's an illness or a disaster or something, who can you count on? We are not so stupid in charge, and we are filial sons and grandsons to others! Liu had a sour face.

Since the dead girl went out, the sores in her mouth have healed, and her whole body has been comfortable. The stinky boy was also sent away, and this family will be completely her son's in the future, and she will naturally be relaxed when she is in a good mood. That dead girl is really a broom star, and she was born to fight with her!

"Not really! You're shrewd enough to get rid of two burdens! Although the old guy said that he had a bit of a family background, he said that half of the old man ate the old man, he just returned to the village, there was no food and no vegetables, he had to buy everything, it was estimated that it would not take long for the silver money in hand to flutter dry, see if he can still be up at that time! "I didn't get rice yesterday, which made Aunt Wu very unhappy: isn't it just a bowl of rice and a spoonful of vegetables, it's really stingy!

She continued, "Chunhua, your family should be careful. That old fellow, don't tell the two children to come back and borrow food from you! ”

"How can our family have spare food for them? Even if there is, they won't give it to the dogs if they feed it! You deserve to starve to death!! Liu smelled the aroma of stewed meat, the fire in his heart rose straight up, spat in the direction of Gu Xiao's house, and turned around and entered the house. If she doesn't go in again, her saliva will come out.

"Meat, meat! I want to eat meat!! Xiao Zhuang looked at the coarse grain cakes and pickles on the table, and sat on the ground and kicked his legs to make a fuss.
