Chapter 104: Hu Shanren
Gu Juan waved the long thin pole in his hand and gently slapped it on the body of the wild dog leader, and the forward speed of the entire team suddenly increased again.
After tea time, Gu Juan looked at the man who was lying in the snow and was about to fall into a coma, and sighed leisurely.
This prey seems to be eaten by crows, but he can't eat it.
This person was wearing clothes that could not withstand the wind and snow, and he did not even have a means of transportation, and he relied on two legs to travel in the snowstorm, which was really an extremely irresponsible behavior for his own life.
But fortunately, since this person let him see it, it was better to save it.
At night, Gu Juan and the rescued man sat opposite each other by a burning bonfire, one carrying a bone stick and gnawing.
On the fire is a pot that has made great achievements, and all kinds of internal organs are stewed in it.
What made Gu Juan even more pleased was that there was wine.
This is the man named Feng Qianqi who specially bought two large bags of spirits to keep out the cold in order to hurry on a snowy day, and now most of them have entered Gu Ju's stomach.
After chatting, I learned that Feng Qianqi originally lived at the foot of a small mountain dozens of miles away, but suddenly suffered heavy snow, closed the mountain and blocked the road, and lived a difficult life, so he had to go to a village called Feng Lianzhuang to ask for help from his uncle, who was the head of the village, to help him get through the difficulties.
Gu Ju's heart moved, and he immediately turned into a scholar who fought the sword rivers and lakes, traveled south and north, and traveled the world, and instantly gained tons of Feng Qianqi's admiration, coupled with the grace of saving his life in the snow, he had already reached the level of bowing after a meal.
Next, Feng Qianqi warmly invited Gu Ju to go to Feng Lianzhuang to rest, and during the conversation, he praised the customs and surrounding scenery there.
Gu Juan thought for a while, and then followed him all the way towards Feng Lianzhuang with a dispensable attitude.
A day later, they finally came to a village surrounded by clear water and covered in silver.
Feng Qianqi's clan uncle is the elder of the village, coupled with the identity of the village Zheng, such a remote place can already be regarded as the soil emperor of the whole village.
Seeing that distant relatives came to ask for help, Feng Cunzheng took some silver money, clothing and food very happily, and sent a few young and strong descendants of his clan to send him back, which was regarded as doing his part as an elder of his relatives.
Before leaving, Feng Cunzheng explained to the leading descendants, and when he returned, he first went to Youxie Town, visited Hu Yuanwai, and showed him the current difficulties of the village, and it seemed that the year could exempt these poor farmers from some rents.
From beginning to end, Feng Cunzheng didn't see Feng Qianqi, and compared to his own junior, he was much closer to Gu Ju, who was a scholar.
After having a drink with Feng Cunzheng and walking around inside and outside the village twice, Gu Juan decided to stay here for a few days for the time being, at least until the snow stopped and the sky cleared before leaving.
There are only more than 100 households in the village, and there are almost no tourists coming and going on weekdays, so not to mention the inn, there is not even a wine shop.
Gu Juan took out a piece of broken silver, rented the house of a pair of grandchildren on the edge of the village, and then hired the young man who had nothing to do in the winter as a servant by the way, and lived here.
In the next few days, he was either called by Feng Cunzheng to drink and chat, or went out to walk his dog and hunt, and his life was peaceful and comfortable.
Thundered!
In the gloomy air, another muffled thunder came from afar.
Gu Juan was holding a bowl, squatting on the threshold and drinking porridge and rice with pickles, when he heard the thunder that seemed to be louder, and the wild dogs in the fence screamed, his mood suddenly became gloomy.
He snorted coldly, threw the rice bowl to the little servant, turned around and went back to the room, stripped off and went to bed, and fell asleep again.
The thunder rang three times, and without warning, the snow stopped.
At noon, the long-lost sun broke through the clouds and shone down, painting a layer of gold on the snow-white countryside.
The lifeless village suddenly came alive.
The little ones ran out and played in the snow like crazy, and the older ones also moved their stools outside, enjoying the soothing of the warm sunshine while gathering in one place to chat.
Gu Juan slept in the dark, and when he was woken up by the little maid again, it was already time for the lights to come on and it was time for dinner.
"Sir, the village elder sent someone to tell you to go to drink. ”
In just a few days, there was already a red light on the face of the little guy who was originally a vegetable, which also made him admire Mr. Gu who went out to hunt in the snow when he had nothing to do, and his admiration was like a surging river, endless.
Mr. Gu has eight dogs in one person, as long as he goes out, he will definitely have a big catch, and compared to him, the strongest hunters in the village are simply a child who can't even walk or even hold a knife.
Moreover, in addition to cutting some leftovers to feed the dogs, most of the prey brought back by Mr. Gu was distributed to the villagers with food and clothing difficulties, and even the old village Zheng, who was almost admitted to Xiucai, was lamenting that Mr. Gu was like a man of heaven, not comparable to these turbid people rolling in the mud.
"Hey, it's already dark, no wonder I feel empty and hungry. ”
Gu Juan rubbed his eyes, turned over and jumped off the bed.
After so many days of constant vigilance, his heartstrings have been tensed to the limit, and even when he goes out hunting, he is supplemented by looking for food to explore the crisis that may come suddenly.
I didn't expect that today's broken jar and broken mentality together, I slept for a whole day.
"The village elder said, today it happens that Hu Shanren from Youxie Town came to the village to comfort the villagers and help the snow disaster, and it was dark early, so he was going to stay here for a night, and he would return to the town early tomorrow morning. ”
The village elder then prepared wine and food, entertained Hu Shanren, and specially invited Mr. to accompany him. ”
The little guy was serving Gu Ju and dressing, and chattered at the same time.
Gu Juan nodded, he had heard about this Hu Yuanwai from Feng Cunzheng's mouth, and it was really calculated that almost the entire Feng Lian Village was working for Hu Yuanwai.
However, this Hu Yuanwai has a deep family background, and his heart is not too dark, and the life of the tenants around Youxie Town is quite passable.
If you can't eat enough and don't have enough clothing, but you won't be starved to death and freeze to death, for the low-level farmers in this world, it can already be called a prosperous scene that is open to the eyes of God.
In Feng Cunzheng's house, a meal of wine is enjoyed by the guests and hosts.
Especially after learning that Hu Yuanwai likes to listen to books and read miscellaneous news, Gu Juan came in a moment, so he immediately turned into a storyteller, and brought the small story of the previous time and space at his fingertips, and did not hesitate to settle on himself.
Gu Juan laughed when he was happy, and later took off his coat and took a sip of the wine bowl.
"That day, I made an appointment with a few young heroes to climb the snow-capped mountain, but due to an avalanche, I was trapped in a cave full of ice, and a few people only had a little soju and a bag of fried beans in their hands. ”
Hu Yuanwai's eyes widened, and he hurriedly asked, "Then what?"
"The weather is very cold, trapped in the mountains, everyone is bored, and even finished talking, you say, what should you do to avoid being suffocated?"
