Chapter IX; Into the mountains (ask for collection)


"Alas, okay, okay, the old man is right, I'll pick up some eggs for you to take back later, what kind of food you want to eat, if it's not enough, come and ask the eldest lady for it."

Zhou Huilan is also as good as a stream.

"How can this work, don't bother, auntie, you two live alone, it's not easy to get some food, if you do this again, I won't dare to come to the door in the future."

During this period of getting along, Gu Qiulan has deeply experienced the warmth that she has not experienced, Zhao Tiejun and his wife, although they are not related to themselves, but they treat her like relatives, Gu Qiulan feels warm in her heart every time she thinks of this feeling.

"You kid, okay, the eldest lady will keep it, and when you want to eat it later, I'll make it for you."

"Well, then I'll thank you first."

Putting down the back basket, Gu Qiulan took out the hare from it and said; "Today I went up the mountain to take a look at the set of covers, and the harvest was good, uncle and aunt, this is for you."

"Yo, this rabbit is so fat, let's not say it's six or seven pounds."

Zhou Huilan was very surprised, but Zhao Tiejun, who was on the side, pushed the hare back and complained; "You girl, take it back, your life is not easy, now it's winter, you have to save a little more to eat."

"Yes, yes, girl, the aunt and uncle know that you are a good boy, you sent a lot of this paragraph, and there are many that you haven't eaten, but you can't take it anymore, you take it back quickly."

Seeing that the old couple didn't accept it, Gu Qiulan was also very helpless, so she had to put the rabbit back in the basket and sit down on the side.

"Uncle, I came here today for some business, and I want to ask you for help."

"Tell me something, if you can help the uncle, you will definitely not postpone."

When Zhao Tiejun heard that something was wrong, he also put down his cigarette pouch and turned his head to look at Gu Qiulan.

"That's right, my house is old, it's very dilapidated, it's leaking in many places, and then it's winter, I think there's nothing going on in the village these days, so I want you to help me find two or three people to help repair it."

As soon as Gu Qiulan's words were finished, Zhao Tiejun had not yet spoken, but Zhou Huilan on the side immediately slapped her thigh and said; "That's right, Xiao Qi's house is too dilapidated, and it usually leaks wind and rain, if you come this winter, where will you still live?"

"Repair, it's time to repair, old man, you must help with this favor."

"I know, it's just a girl, and the uncle won't hide it from you, it's very simple to find someone, but you also know the mouths of those people in the village, if you don't know what to say" Zhao Tiejun has also helped a lot of this over the years, and directly pointed out the key points.

There are a lot of people in the village, especially at this time, but no one will want to help in vain.

"I know this, I didn't hit a lot of wild things, but there wasn't much food, you can't invite you to eat, I plan to help the person to give a pheasant and a hare, uncle, do you think anyone will be willing to do this?"

People are realistic, don't look at the people in the village who see them all smiling during this time, but if you really want people to help in vain, no one will want to.

"Well, that's a good idea, I'll go find two or three people and ask later."

Zhao Tiejun agreed, Gu Qiulan sat for a while, and then went home.

The next day, early in the morning, Zhao Tiejun came with two or three men.

She knows all three of them, one is the nephew of Zhou Huilan's mother's family, and the other is a relative of Zhao Tiejun's own family, Gu Qiulan knows very well in her heart that although the rewards she gives are all meat, except for bones or something, there are not many, and some people will definitely not come.

"Xiao Qi, this is the person I found for you, you can help point out those places that need to be repaired, and I will get them for you today."

When Gu Qiulan heard this, she was very happy, beckoned a few people into the house, poured good water, Gu Qiulan looked at the people brought by Zhao Tiejun and said; "Three uncles, thank you for coming to help, you also know my situation, there is not much food that I can't invite you to eat, so" "Hahaha, Xiao Qi, you don't need to say it, although you are not a local, it is fate to be able to come here, repairing a house is not a big deal, we are all in the same village, help is what you should do, don't think too much."

One of the men in his thirties smiled and waved his hand.

You know this person Gu Qiulan, the fifth in the old Zhou family, everyone calls him Zhou Lao Wu, he is Zhou Huilan's nephew, and he is a very good person.

"Then thank you, Uncle Five."

Just do it, under Gu Qiulan's guidance, several people got busy, and soon they were busy until noon, and most of the places that should be made up were completed.

"Let's go home for dinner first, and there's not much left, so come over early and try to finish it as soon as possible."

As soon as Zhao Tiejun saw the meal, he beckoned the three of them and walked outside.

Gu Qiulan, who had already gone to the kitchen, hurriedly ran out to stop them, and then took out the pheasant and hares promised yesterday and four pieces of pickled roe deer meat from the kitchen, each of which contained four or five catties, and also packed a few bags of dried mushrooms and wild vegetables, and gave them to a few people.

"Three uncles, there is really no way to invite you to dinner due to the situation in my family, I will make up for it when the days are better in the future, I got these things, you take them back first."

"This can't be helped, Xiaoqi, your life is not easy, how can you ask for your things for this little thing, aren't you slapping your uncles in the face?"

Zhou Laowu also served as a soldier in his early years, and he had a different friendship for the orphans of martyrs like Gu Qiulan, so when he heard his uncle say that he was looking for him to help Xiao Qi repair the house, he responded without thinking about it, he came to do his part.

Ever since he knew Gu Qiulan's life experience, he felt uncomfortable every time he thought about it, and he always wanted to help, but there was a big family behind him, and there were not many places to help.

Now that I have an easy opportunity, I still have to take things, which is definitely not going to work.

"Yes, Lao Wu is right, Xiao Qi, it's not easy for you, we can't ask for these things."

Zhao San, who was relatively silent among the three, also spoke.

"Uncle, you must take these things, you know better than me what the situation is in the village, if you don't take it, maybe what those people say about me behind their backs, and this help is a natural gift, you just take it."

After Gu Qiulan finished speaking, she turned her head to look at Zhao Tiejun.

"Take it, this is a piece of Xiao Qi's heart."

"Okay, Uncle Xiaoqi accepted it with a thick face."

Zhou Lao Wuyi thought about Xiao Qi's words, and his heart was also transparent, if he didn't take it, someone would gossip, even if he wanted to help, he would have an opportunity in the future, and he was not in a hurry.

After sending the four people away, Gu Qiulan also began to eat, and as soon as she finished washing the dishes and chopsticks, Zhou Lao Wu and a few people came, and Zhao Tiejun had some things so he wouldn't come over in the afternoon.

Several of them were quick people with their hands and feet, and it took more than an hour to get all the people behind them and leave.

Looking at the repaired house, Gu Qiulan was very happy in her heart.

"Hahaha, I finally have a place in this world, although it looks a little broken, but it's also a place to live, not bad."

When she first came to this world, Gu Qiulan was at a loss, and as she continued to integrate, she began to regard herself as a part of this world little by little.

The shelter was done, and the next thing was rations.

In the room, Gu Qiulan looked at the bedding she had, and felt depressed for a while, so she had a thin quilt and pillows sewn with straw and torn clothes.

"The revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades need to work hard."

The joy just now has been completely shattered by reality, and she began to find out the hare skins that have been peeled off and processed during this time, twenty or thirty sheets, although the area of each one is not beaten, but stitched together, it is a very good animal skin sheet, and the warmth is definitely much better than that of cloth.

After sorting out the hare skin and putting it in the back basket, she went out and went straight to Zhao Tiejun's house, and borrowed a needle and thread after a while.

She was not very good at needlework, so she was busy until six or seven o'clock, when she sewed all the hare farts into a sheet and laid it out to feel it.

"Yes, yes, warm and soft, but that's not enough, we have to get some."

After a tired day, Gu Qiulan went to bed early.

The next day, when the sky was bright, she prepared two days' worth of dry food and brought the things she needed for the night, and she entered the back mountain before many people in the village got up.

According to her familiarity with the environment in the back mountains during this time, if she wants to find a larger prey, she must go further inside, so that it will take a lot of time, and she can no longer go out in the morning and go home in the afternoon as before.

And in the current situation, even if she really hunted a wild boar or something, it would be difficult to prevaricate if she got it back.

Just imagine, a sick girl This is the image of Gu Qiulan in the hearts of all the villagers in Shiwan Village, who went up the mountain to hit the wild boar and got it down, what ridiculous nonsense this is She had already thought of several plans last night, and although it was not perfect to say it, she felt that she could explain it clearly.

Soon she came to the area of her usual activities, and did not stop long, while releasing the soul probe, she quickly ran towards the deep mountains.

Three hares were harvested along the way, one male and one female and two pheasants.

"Hey, this is a cave" Soul fluctuations probed the surrounding situation, and immediately reflected in Gu Qiulan's mind, there was a cave less than three hundred meters away from her.

"Yo, yes, this place can be used as a rest stop for me."

In the cave, Gu Qiulan looked at the surrounding situation with satisfaction, the cave was not very big, about forty or fifty square meters, the entrance of the cave was very small, she could only come in by squatting, and there were many gaps in the upper reaches of the cave wall on the right.

Since it is located deep in the mountains, there is not much light, but there are gaps to allow air to circulate, and the whole cave is relatively dry.

This way, it will be more convenient for her to make a fire in the cave and barbecue or something.

Then she lit a fire and carefully inspected all parts of the cave, and after making sure that there were no signs of large animal activity, she spread the hare skin sheets she had brought from home on the ground, and after all this, and after eating dry food, she left and walked out of the cave with the empty basket on her back.

Of course, she didn't forget to find a large rock nearby to seal the entrance to the cave, she didn't want to leave by herself, and those predators with sharp noses would burrow into the cave and eat up all the dry food and jerky she had left behind.

The deep mountains are really different, I don't know how many years no one has come here, there are a lot of wild things, it really confirms the saying of the Northeast in the previous life, "the rod beats the roe deer and scoops the fish".

During this period, Gu Qiulan also detected several large beasts, among which the one she feared the most was the big cat and tiger, she was now powerful, but she was still a little cowardly against the king of a hundred beasts.

Not only tigers, but also mountain leopards, wolves, and so on.

It was just that she didn't find wild boars, or wild deer, or wild goats, which made Gu Qiulan think depressedly many times, whether these animals she wanted to hunt had been wiped out by those fierce beasts The sky soon darkened, and it was very dark in the deep mountains and old forests, Gu Qiulan did not continue to search, packed up the harvest of the afternoon, and returned directly to the cave
