After Gu Xingshen finished speaking, the faces of the onlookers improved slightly.

"That's it, this price is fair, comrade, don't bring it out in the future and be embarrassed. Come, put this hare up for me, I want it. A woman who looked slightly dressed in a luxurious manner took out three yuan from her small bag and handed it to Gu Xingshen, and glanced at Cheng Qingxue with disdain.

Cheng Qingxue twisted her head to the side embarrassedly, since she was a child, she had never been so embarrassed.

It seems that she still thought about the price earlier in the future.

"Howler. Gu Xingshen handed the money to Cheng Qingxue, and quickly handed the hare to the woman.

As the woman bought a hare, the other onlookers bought the game from the stall. After a while, all the game of the two was sold out.

"Qingxue, you are so powerful, look at it, our game is sold out. And the price is a lot more than usual. ”

Hearing this, Cheng Qingxue glanced at Gu Xingshen in puzzlement. Why did you sell more, just now she said eight cents a pound, these people are all very expensive. Why, at this time, Gu Xingshen said that he sold more than usual. "Didn't I just say that eight cents are very expensive?"

Gu Xingshen smiled, it turned out that he would be mistaken.

"I thought you were deliberately raising the price and then asking me to lower it. The game in this market is four cents a pound, you should have come to the market with your father to sell it before, today you said eight cents, those people naturally think it is very expensive, then I will say five cents, they compare in their hearts, and naturally feel that five cents is half cheaper than eight cents. Gu Xingshen said lightly.

Hearing Gu Xingshen's analysis, Cheng Qingxue coughed softly twice. In the memory of the original owner, she really didn't find the price of game, but fortunately Gu Xingshen didn't doubt it. Otherwise, she really didn't know how to explain it.

Cheng Qingxue glanced up at the sky and said lightly: "Let's go buy medicine for grandpa, let's go back early today." ”

After speaking, Cheng Qingxue put away the cloth bag in front of her and got up quickly.

She didn't want to talk to Gu Xingshen more on this topic, if she couldn't explain it for a while, it would be troublesome.

The two bought a lot of medicine for the old man at the pharmacy, and bought some food and things to use at the market, and hurried back.

Along the way, several ox carts passed by the two of them. But too many of the people in the cart were from the village, and every ox cart passing by would point at the two of them.

Fortunately, both of them were used to it, so there was no reaction.

The two of them did not delay along the way, and when they were about to walk to the cowshed, the sharp-eyed Cheng Qingxue saw that the cowshed seemed to have been smashed, and she said nervously: "Xingshen, look at our cowshed, whether it has been smashed." ”

Hearing the sound, Gu Xingshen looked up and saw that sure enough, the door of the cowshed had fallen to the ground.

The two walked quickly into the cowshed, only to see an old man lying on the ground who was dying.

"Grandpa, grandpa, what's wrong with you? Grandpa, don't scare me. Gu Xingshen threw the things in his hand aside and hurriedly helped the old man up.

The dying old man heard Gu Xingshen's voice, slowly opened his eyes, and opened his mouth one by one, but he couldn't make a sound.

Cheng Qingxue on the side looked very anxious, "Xingshen, quickly help grandpa to the bed and let him say less." ”

After speaking, Cheng Qingxue turned around and went to the kitchen to pour a bowl of water.

When he came out, Gu Xingshen had already helped the old man on the bed.

"Xingshen, come and feed Grandpa some water. ”

After receiving the water in Qingxue's hand, Gu Xingshen nervously brought it to the old man's mouth and watched the old man drink it.

After a while, the old man's face recovered slightly, and he looked at Gu Xingshen weakly, "Xia Yao did it." ”

Hearing this, Gu Xingshen's face sank, and the anger in his heart seemed to burst out.

"Grandpa, did you say that Xia Yao did this?"

The old man nodded, "Yes, it's her." ”

As soon as the words fell, Gu Xingshen got up quickly, and Cheng Qingxue saw that the situation was not good, so he grabbed his arm.

"What do you want to do? Do you go to Xia Yao now? Do you think that such a despicable and shameless person will admit her? Besides, her father is still the village party secretary, if you go now, you will definitely ask for hardship. ”

Cheng Qingxue's words made Gu Xingshen calm down a little. Cheng Qingxue's words are very reasonable, if he goes to make trouble now, it is estimated that Xia Yao will die and refuse to admit it.

However, Gu Xingshen will never hold this evil breath in his heart.

Cheng Qingxue saw Gu Xingshen's appraisal gaze, and guessed what Gu Xingshen was thinking, her hand took Gu Xingshen's hand and shook it hard, she hoped that Gu Xingshen could feel her strength.

"Xingshen, you go and fix the door first, and I'll go and boil medicine for grandpa. ”

Hearing this, Gu Xingshen nodded, and the two began to get busy.

At night, the old man drank the medicine and fell asleep. Cheng Qingxue walked out of the cowshed, felt the cold wind, and looked at the stars in the sky. I can't help but sigh, this era is really good, and I can still look at the stars, unlike in the 21st century. If you want to see the stars, you have to drive to the suburbs hundreds of miles away to see them.

Crunch, as soon as the door behind her rang, Cheng Qingxue was about to turn back, and there was already an extra coat on her body.

"It's so cold outside, you don't have an extra piece of clothing to wear when you come out. ”

Hearing Gu Xingshen's words, Cheng Qingxue smiled shallowly. "Don't you think it's beautiful on a night like this? I rarely see a day like this. ”

Gu Xingshen was a little puzzled when he heard Cheng Qingxue's words. "Didn't you always live in the village when you were a child? Aren't you able to see this every day?"

He was a little strange, what Cheng Qingxue said recently made his heart full of doubts, a girl living in the village is logically uneducated and courageous.

But I don't know why, in Cheng Qingxue's body, he saw the wise side of a woman. This kind of wisdom is different from which women in the city, this feeling always makes him have an indescribable feeling, like the feeling that this world should not exist.

Cheng Qingxue knew that Gu Xingshen was a smart person, she didn't answer Gu Xingshen's words, she was afraid that if she said too much for a while, Gu Xingshen would really guess.

After all, the seventies and the twenty-first century are not much different either.

After a long time, Cheng Qingxue said slowly: "I used to be bullied by my stepmother, so I was naturally in no mood to appreciate these things. ”

There was some sadness in her tone, and everything Gu Xingshen was thinking about just now was dispelled by Cheng Qingxue's appearance. He felt a little sorry for Cheng Qingxue in his heart, such a living environment must have given her a lot of blows.

Suddenly, Gu Xingshen's hand reached out to Cheng Qingxue's shoulder, and silence was better than sound at this time. There are some words that don't need to be spoken, presumably Cheng Qingxue can also feel it.

The two stood in the cold wind until midnight before returning to the cowshed to rest.

The next day, when the sky was just gray, Cheng Qingxue got up and walked out of the cowshed.

She couldn't sleep last night, she was just trying to figure out how to clean up Xia Yao, and after thinking about it all night, she couldn't think of a way.

In desperation, she had no choice but to go to the mountains alone to dig more coal and sell it in the county town.

When she went to the county seat to sell game yesterday, she had already seen it, and there was no one selling coal in the market at all, presumably this kind of thing was not very popular in the county, so it must be very good.

Thinking like this, Cheng Qingxue's pace became faster and faster, and she didn't know that when she walked out of the cowshed, Gu Xingshen had already followed.

When she came to the coal mine, Cheng Qingxue looked at the coal buried by the snow, feeling a little helpless, she knew that a few days ago, she should have dragged Gu Xingshen to dig coal in the mountains.

Although the snow was not thick, it was still difficult for her to work alone.

Just when Cheng Qingxue was in trouble, Gu Xingshen's voice suddenly sounded behind her.

"Qingxue, do you just want to carry a big bag of coal back by yourself?"
