"Grandpa, I want to go too......" Gu Ye put on his warmest clothes, and when he set off, he was left behind by Gu Xiao's grandfather and grandson. She was very unconvinced, obviously the snowboard was "invented" by her, and the children's skiing was also taught by her, so why didn't she take her?

Gu Xiao softened his voice and said in a coaxing tone: "Have you forgotten how you fell ill last time at the border gate?" The body is weak, and it is invaded by the cold, so it is strange that he is not sick. Your body hasn't healed yet, your master and uncle are not around, and there is not even a decent doctor in the village. ”

"I'm a doctor myself...... "The most depressing thing is that my body is obviously as strong as a calf, but everyone thinks that you are Lin Daiyu, and you restrict your freedom. Gu Ye had the urge to look up to the sky and howl.

Gu Ming touched her head and whispered comfortingly: "Doctors don't treat themselves, it's better to be careful!" You accompany Aunt Yan at home, make delicious food and wait for us to come back! ”

Gu Ye saw that her grandfather and brother were resolute, and she had no hope of following, so she could only watch them skate on the snowboard and quickly disappear into the wind and snow. She took two steps forward, waved her hand, and shouted, "Stay safe, wait until you come back for dinner—"

Gu Ming's voice in response was torn apart by the wind and snow. Gu Ye sighed heavily, and accompanied by Aunt Yan, he returned to his courtyard.

Seeing that Gu Ye's mood was not high, Aunt Yan felt that she should find something to distract her, so she said: "Girl, our house has been cleaned up, we just need a pharmacy, there are a lot of medicinal materials, I can't tell the difference, so I didn't dare to move, you see ......"

Gu Ye turned around and entered the pharmacy. The medicinal herbs scattered on the ground were trampled on a lot, which made her feel distressed. She bent down to pick up the medicinal herbs that could still be used, sorted them one by one, and put them back on the shelf.

Aunt Yan remembered that the girl hadn't eaten breakfast yet, so she went to the kitchen to roll out a bowl of chicken noodle soup, and tore shredded meat from the chicken thighs and put it in the noodle soup. Gu Ye drank a bowl hotly, and spent the whole day in the pharmacy, collecting herbs, or concocting medicinal materials.

When it was dark, the villagers came back one after another, and there was no news of Wu Angelica. Gu Xiao's team was the last to come back, and they all had heavy expressions. After asking, I learned that although they didn't catch up with Wu Angelica, they met the frozen Aunt Wu.

The path chosen by Gu Xiao was the most likely escape route for Wu Angelica. A group of people chased for about two hours, and someone found a snowboard on the side of the road that was half buried by snow. The skis were broken and thrown on the side of the road. After seeing the skis, the villagers were in high spirits. Without skis, Wu Angelica and his wife will definitely not be able to go far.

Caught up along the mountain road, walked forward for more than 20 miles, and found Aunt Wu who fell on the side of the road. At this time, she was covered with snow, and if she didn't pay attention, she would think it was a snowdrift. It's a pity that when they found her, Aunt Wu was already dying, and it didn't take long for her to swallow her breath.

There is no shadow of Angelica Wu nearby. If you break your skis and walk on the snow, you will get tired and fall into the snow if you don't get caught up, and eventually die. Wu Angelica was also very ruthless, abandoned his daughter-in-law who had been with him for more than 20 years, and escaped alone.

Alas! In order to escape the debt, he gave his life, is it worth it? If Wu Angelica and his family are honest and down-to-earth, even if they don't practice medicine after the beginning of spring, they can pay off their debts in two years at most, just collecting herbs and concocting a few simple medicinal materials. Compared with many villagers in the village who rely on the sky to eat and dig in the soil, the life of these two people is much more nourishing. Why do you want to go to the point of no return of stealing and fleeing?

Wu Angelica's escape and the death of Aunt Wu cast a faint shadow on this year. However, soon this shadow was covered in the blizzard for several days.

According to the village elders, this year's snowstorm has not been seen in decades. The wind blew off more than a dozen trees in the village, and many people's houses were crushed by the broken trees, and the family was crammed into one or two remaining houses. There are also people whose houses are in disrepair, and the snow is not cleared in time, and the roof is crushed by the snow, making it impossible to live in......

Gu Ye sat on the warm kang, pushed the window open a crack, and looked into the courtyard. Huge clumps of snow, like cotton wool torn by naughty children, fell from the sky. The yard that had just been swept was soon covered with a thick layer of "quilt".

In the yard, my grandfather and brother braved the wind and snow, stepped on a ladder to climb the roof, and cleared more than a foot of snow on it. In order to prevent the beams from collapsing by the snow, the couple had to clean them once or twice a day. This is the second time today.

Suddenly, my brother's movements stopped, and he quickly got down from the roof and walked in the direction of the courtyard gate. Gu Yezhi pricked his ears and listened carefully, and sure enough, in the howling wind, there was an intermittent knock on the door. On this snowy day, who is still in the mood to visit the door?

Just in confusion, the village chief took three thin figures, one tall and two short, into his grandfather's house. Gu Ye was so idle that she was covered in hair, and it was rare for a guest to come, so of course she would not miss the opportunity to join in the fun.

Aunt Yan, who was sitting cross-legged on the kang doing needlework, saw Gu Ye slipping off the kang quickly, and hurriedly picked up a thick coat and wrapped it around her, saying, "It's cold outside, be careful of getting cold." ”

Aunt Yan is not only a good cook, but also gentle and careful. Her existence makes up for the missing "mother" image in Gu Ye's life. Although they have only been together for less than a month, Gu Ye has developed a sense of identity and dependence on her.

Turning around and smiling at Aunt Yan, Gu Ye's little face, which had been raised a little round, a pair of dimples loomed. The corners of Yan Qiutong's mouth hooked up a gentle smile - the master's vision is good, and the little girl will definitely be stunning when she grows up.

Gu Ye was wrapped in a cold wind and rushed into his grandfather and brother's room. As soon as I entered the door, I saw Widow Li's mother and daughter, as well as her youngest son Li Xiaohai, standing in the room. In their hands, each carrying a small burden, and a shriveled grain bag was placed on the ground.

"Village chief, Aunt Li, Sister Xiuhong, Brother Xiaohai, hurry up and warm up on the kang, why are you here on this snowy day?" Gu Ye shook off the snowflakes on the big kang, put it on the end of the kang, took off his shoes and climbed onto the kang, and sat down beside his brother.

Muramasa coughed slightly, cleared his throat, and said, "That's the case, my nephew's daughter-in-law's house was crushed by the snow, and the two of them have no place to live." As you know, my family is crammed into four houses, and they really can't afford to rent a house for them. Xiao Yezi's master, didn't he come back for the New Year? Look, can you ...... that house?"

Widow Li pulled the patched cotton clothes on her body, and whispered a little restrainedly: "If you really can't vacate it, let Hai'er and Gu Ming squeeze it, and we can live in the same room with the Yan family's sister and Ye'er girl...... As long as we have a place to sleep at night. ”

In the mountains, there are many people and few houses, and it is common for a family of four or five to squeeze a big kang. However, Gu Ye is like a bad-tempered cat, with her own sense of territory, her room and her things, easily not to share with others. Aunt Yan's sudden intervention, it took her a long time to get used to it!

Gu Xiao naturally knew about his granddaughter's little hypocrisy, and he looked at Gu Ye with an inquiring gaze. The eyes of the village chief and Widow Li also followed his gaze and stopped at her. Li Xiuhong opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't speak.

Gu Ye looked at her and said with a smile: "Sister Xiuhong, don't stand, sit down with me." It's been a long time since you've played with me. Did you have a new playmate and forget about me? ”

When Widow Li heard this, she shook her hand again and again: "There is no such thing! Miss Ye'er, you also know the situation of our family, since the beginning of autumn, our family Xiuhong has not been idle, and has been helping me pick up mountain goods and chop firewood. Miss Ye'er was also busy with the old god's medical skills, so she didn't dare to bother. Our family is red, and I have always wanted to come to you...... Dead girl, you have something to say! ”

Li Xiuhong didn't seem to expect Gu Ye to treat her so warmly, and a trace of excitement flashed in her eyes. Since Gu Ye went out, her grandfather and brother were reluctant to let her do heavy work, and all the good things were eaten by her first, and the days became more and more comfortable, Li Xiuhong felt happy for her At the same time, there was also a trace of envy and a little jealousy in her heart.

Every time, when she saw Gu Ye, who was wearing new clothes, following behind her brother and raising a bright and carefree smile, somehow, an inferiority complex rose in her heart. I didn't want Gu Ye to see her unclothed and thin face. Therefore, whenever she saw Gu Ye from afar on the mountain, she would deliberately avoid it, not wanting to meet her.

After Gu Ye returned from Yancheng, the changes were even greater. The clothes she wore were silk and satin that she had only seen on the ladies and ladies of the big families in the town, and some beautiful cloaks and coats that she had never seen much.

As for herself, she didn't even have a piece of clothing without patches, and she didn't wear as well as the cook girl Gu Ye bought from the town. The inferiority complex in Li Xiuhong's heart deepened, and she was even more reluctant to appear in front of Gu Ye. But the more you want to dodge, the more you can't dodge. No, their family begged to come to the front of the family.

"Sister Xiuhong, eat sugar! This is the recipe I came up with, and I made it with Aunt Yan! Gu Ye pretended not to see the complicated expression on her face, stuffed a handful of peanut candy into her hand, and said to Li Xiaohai, who was sitting next to her brother with a restrained face, "Xiaohai, take whatever you want to eat, you're welcome!" ”

Gu Ming took a piece of candy, stuffed it into Li Xiaohai's mouth, smiled and teased her sister, "What did you do with Aunt Yan, don't put gold on your face." Obviously, you are only pointing fingers from the side, and Aunt Yan is busy working alone! However, if you do it, others may not dare to eat it! ”

"My idea, Aunt Yan's labor, you dare to say that there is no credit for me?" Gu Ye glared at her brother threateningly, she actually showed her bottom in front of outsiders, she didn't want to do it!
