Chapter 20 Build a new house

After all, Gu Xiao had been on the battlefield, and the fierce aura unconsciously revealed on his body was something that ordinary children would not dare to approach. In his previous life, people who were more fierce than him, Gu Ye had seen a lot, so he naturally didn't feel anything. Gu Ming's reaction is the most real.

"You two are good boys! Grandpa bought meat buns in town, and you take them back to be hot for dinner. This half of the roast pheasant, grandpa took it! "Gu Xiao is quite satisfied with the two children, and they are all grateful. than their father, they have a lot of conscience!

In addition to meat buns, Gu Xiao also bought pots and pans and other necessities when he went to the town this time, a bag of polished rice and a bag of white noodles, and cut a few catties of meat. The village chief's little donkey did not move, so he fetched back the horses that had been fostered in the villager's house outside the town.

"This is our mule and horse?" Gu Ming stared at the red steed with burning eyes, looking like she wanted to get close but didn't dare to.

"Yes, ours!" Gu Xiao nodded.

Gu Ming was overjoyed, and went around the mule, unable to see enough. You know, such a mule and horse will cost four or five taels of silver, to say the least. A family in the village, busy all year round, may not be able to earn so much silver, can't eat enough, where can there be spare money for mules and horses? The village chief's house is already enviable enough to make people envy, and now that their family has this mule and horse, isn't it the first in the village?

Gu Xiao's horse is a good horse given by the Zhenguo Mansion, and it can't be bought without a few hundred taels of silver. Seeing that Gu Ming liked it, he picked up the little guy on the horse's back, and said with a smile: "Wait for the time, grandpa will teach you to ride a horse, do you want to learn?" ”

"Yes! To learn!! Gu Ming, who was sitting on horseback, was slightly stiff, but there was an excited expression on his face. However, he didn't forget his sister, and said to Gu Xiao, "Grandpa, also teach my sister, she is smarter than me, and she must learn faster than me!" ”

"Good, good! Tokyo!! Gu Xiao held Gu Ye's armpits, picked up the little girl on horseback, and sat behind her brother. He limped into the village with an animal in one hand.

This tall horse, unsurprisingly, caused a sensation in the village. Looking at the supplies and food on horseback, the eyes of the people in the village who looked at Gu Xiao changed - it turned out that everyone regarded him as a beggar, now think about it, how could he be so miserable after decades in the army? It's a bit of a family.

Those daughters-in-law who don't deal with the Liu family have the idea of watching jokes: Gu Qiao and his wife don't recognize their stepfather, and they try their best to push people out, and now it's too late to regret it!

Gu Xiao went to return the village chief's donkey first, and gave two catties of fat meat as a thank you gift. For the mountain people who don't taste meat a few times a year, this gift is not light. The village chief couldn't shirk it, so he had to accept it.

Gu Xiao led the horse with two children and a bunch of goods to the patriarch's house. In the evening, he borrowed the kitchen of the patriarch's house, asked the patriarch's daughter-in-law to help arrange a sumptuous dinner, and invited the village chief, the patriarch and several clan elders to have a meal, and in the future, he will rely on these people to take care of their grandchildren and grandchildren!

The patriarch's family was eating hotly, and Gu Qiao and his wife were so blocked that they couldn't eat. Gu Qiao regretted it: That old guy is a wounded soldier who has retreated, and he will naturally have subsidies from the imperial court, he shouldn't judge people by his appearance, and he doesn't recognize this family. It's good now, and the silver is pushed out in vain!

Liu snorted angrily: "That old thing, this is to prevent us!" Everyone is 'returning home', he is good, deliberately dressed like a beggar, this is a set waiting for us to drill! ”

"Shut up! It's not all you, what a bad idea! Gu Qiao was so angry that he slapped his chopsticks on the table and glared at Liu angrily.

Liu Shi said unconvinced: "Why did it become mine, didn't it?" Obviously, you don't want to recognize him, so I'm here to help. Didn't you also say that it was a good idea to pass on Gu Ming to the past? I knew that the old thing had a lot of money, so I passed our big strong. We are strong and conscientious, unlike those two white-eyed wolves!! ”

"Enough is enough!!" Gu Qiao was furious by her, "Just your big face!" People want to pass the incense to the children of the Gu family, and Da Zhuang is a member of the Gu family? Does he keep the blood of the Gu family? ”

After a pause, he took a deep breath and said, "I've inquired, the fifth uncle has been affected by the superiors and has just been released from exile. The affairs of the imperial court, who is accurate, may be arrested again not long after. We can't just stare at the little silver in his hand, in case we are dragged down by him, it is not fun! ”

"Huh? That old thing made a mistake in the army?? What crime? Don't do any kind of disaster to destroy the family!! Liu asked in a panic.

"Panic what! He and our clan are out of the five suits, even if the nine clans are destroyed, they can't fall on us! Gu Qiao's anger in his heart was much smoother, "You don't have to deal with that side in the future, so as not to cause a commotion!" ”

"Don't worry, it's too late for me to hide!!" Liu saw that the pimple soup in his hand was almost cold, and when he was about to feed his little son, he found that the little guy didn't know where to go.

"Xiao Zhuang, come out and eat pimple soup, and there is an egg in it. If you don't come out, I'll give it to your brother! Liu thought that the little guy had gone into the house and shouted inside.

Da Zhuang drooled, his eyes were fixed on the bowl of pimple soup, and he said impatiently: "Little brother heard that you said that the patriarch's grandfather's house has meat to eat, so I went to their house." Mother, give me this bowl of pimple soup! ”

When Liu heard this, he divided the pimple soup into two and put it in front of Da Zhuang, and the other half gave her a man: "The head of the family, Xiao Zhuang went to the patriarch's house to eat, it shouldn't be in the way, right?" ”

Gu Qiao snorted and drank the pimple soup, nodded carelessly, and said, "It's okay!" His brother and sister are there, and they can still make him hungry? After a while, Gu Ming and the others still have to come back to rest. ”

When Xiao Zhuang came to the patriarch's house with his little short legs, he was already eating hotly. The Gu Ming brothers and sisters came and ate fragrantly around the kang table in the middle with several grandchildren of the patriarch. On the table, braised pork, radish stew, boiled cabbage, and stir-fried meat with pickles were set on the table. Gu Ye also warmed up the meat buns that his grandfather bought from the town, and he sent one by himself.

"Brother, brother, eat meat!" Xiao Zhuang smelled the fragrance, his saliva flowed for a long time, and he climbed up the kang with a roar, but the other person has short calves, where can he climb up? I was so anxious that I started crying.

Gu Ming was afraid that he would make a fuss, so he had to carry the person to the kang, took a meat bun and stuffed it in his hand, and stuffed a piece of fat meat into his mouth.

Xiao Zhuang nibbled on a big meat bun, ate a few more pieces of meat, and left with a small belly. When he left, he took Gu Ye's meat bun away, and said, "Girl, what to eat, waste!" ”、

What a three-year-old child understands, this must be learned from an adult. Gu Ming was so angry that she wanted to take the bun back. When the patriarchs and elders outside heard this, they shook their heads incessantly. Gu Xiao glanced at Xiao Douding, who was five short figures, and there was a sneer on his lips.

The next day, Gu Xiao's family built a house on the agenda. At this time, it was the time of slack, and the free laborers in the village came to help.

The house was rebuilt on the abandoned site of Gu Xiao's house. Gu Xiao's house is some distance from the village, located halfway up the mountain. Although the courtyard wall has collapsed, the stones that can be built on the wall can be reused, which saves the effort of digging mountains and opening stones. With stones, it is easy to do, there is a lot of strength in people, and after more than a day's work, the courtyard wall is built.

The houses inside are generally grass-covered mud houses, and the foundation pits dug in the past are still there, and the foundation is made of stones, and then a rectangular wooden mold is used to pour clay mixed with straw into it, and tamp it with a mallet. This was followed by the upper beams and the laying of straw on the roof.

Gu Xiao is generous, knows how to do things, and has good food. The staple food is steamed buns with Erhe noodles, and the dish is stewed with meat. It's either fatty slices, pheasants, hares or something. If you don't say anything else, just for this meal, can you miss the people who help?

In addition to the three main rooms, there is also a kitchen and a room for miscellaneous items and firewood. The backyard also has to build a warm horse shed for the horses, and at Gu Ming's strong request, the position of the pigsty was left next to the horse shed, saying that it was to catch a little pig baby and raise it in the spring.

In the past half a month, the big guys have been busy with the house, and even Gu Ming and a few of his friends have rushed over from time to time to help with it. Finally, Gu Ye, who was not staring, threw himself into the mountains and forests happily like a bird that had released its wings.

The mountains and forests near the village are safe, but they are all trantined by the footprints of the villagers, and it is difficult to pick up good things. Gu Ye eagerly set his eyes on the deeper mountains.

On this day, she didn't even say hello, so she went up the mountain alone with a basket on her back. Her goal was the mountain behind her new house. After crossing two hills, the winding path had long since disappeared, and she waved her firewood knife to make a way through the dense bushes, and from time to time she startled a little pheasant that fled in panic.

Before going up the mountain, she sprinkled animal repellent powder on her body. This medicinal powder, which she developed at the beginning of the troubled times, has a very good effect on dodging and driving away low-level fierce beasts.

Back in the past, when the mutation first began, the docile poultry pet became the mortal enemy of mankind. The tame cat has become more ferocious than the tiger; The loyal domestic dog has become a fierce beast that hunts its owner in a blink of an eye...... Not to mention the beast kings in the circus and zoo! From the top of the food chain, humans are instantly reduced to the target of hunting.

And when she was still a medical student, her talent for pharmaceuticals was discovered. In order to save her life, the first drug she developed was veterinary repellent powder. The smell of this medicinal powder is something that the beasts can't avoid. It was with this powder that she escaped the mutated pets in the city, the fierce poultry and livestock in the suburbs, and was picked up by the ice cube face......
