Chapter 8 Wonders Are Everywhere
Gu Ye, who didn't know that he was being investigated, was picking up the pine tower at this time, and was "forced to ask" by his brother why he climbed the cliff. Annoyed by him, she took out the purple lingzhi from her shabby placket and whispered: "Shhhh β
Gu Ming looked around and urged her to quickly put away the lingzhi: "You put it away, and when the money shopkeeper comes to collect the medicinal materials, you can quietly sell it to him." Your body has not yet been raised, and when the time comes, it will be replaced with fine grain, hidden in a secret cave, and kept for you to eat slowly! β
The moment Gu Ye stuffed the Lingzhi back into the placket, it had already been transferred into the Red Lotus Space. Suddenly, her gaze froze, and she gently tugged at her brother's sleeve and pointed to a bush.
"Pheasant?!" A look of surprise flashed in Gu Ming's eyes. He held his breath and crept closer to the bushes. Close, close! Five-step, four-step, three-step...... At the moment when he pounced, the pheasant flapped its wings, screamed a few times in a hurry, and flew out.
A pine nut in Gu Ye's hand flew out as fast as a bullet, accurately hitting the wings of the pheasant that had just flown off the ground. The pheasant then fell, slamming heavily to the ground. At this time, Gu Ming happened to pounce and held down the pheasant that was still struggling.
"Got it! Caught it!! Brother, you're amazing! Seeing that the little boy was beaming, his eyes flashed with a look of asking for praise, and Gu Ye praised a few words without hesitation.
The friends who were scattered around to pick up the pine tower heard the movement and quickly gathered around. Seeing the last struggling pheasant in Gu Ming's hand, they all showed envious looks. Li Hao, the thirteen-year-old eldest grandson of the village chief's family, exclaimed: "Gu Ming, you really have you!" You can actually catch pheasants with your bare hands, you are even more powerful than the son of Zhang Orion's family! β
"Where? It's that this pheasant is stupid, he can't fly well, and he fell off by himself, so I picked up the cheap for nothing! Gu Ming's mouth was modest, and his big grinning mouth revealed his mood at this time.
"Look, there are blood stains on the pheasant's wings, it turns out that it has already been injured, so it will be easily caught by Gu Ming." Li Hao's cousin, Li Xiuniang, who was the same age as Gu Ye, found the small wound with sharp eyes.
Gu Ming just wanted to say something, but was interrupted by a rough voice like a rooster pinched by the neck: "This pheasant was injured by me first." Give it back to me!! β
The friends followed the prestige and frowned. is the mother-in-law of Wu Laowu's family, this guy is greedy for money and stingy, and he always likes to take advantage of others. Almost everyone in the village was offended by her, and few were willing to pay attention to her.
Ying Gu was a little older, and stood up and asked, "You said that you injured this pheasant, did anyone see it?" Is there any evidence? β
"I said that I beat it, I beat it, what evidence is not evidence? A person as big as me can still coax a group of you children? Aunt Wu pursed her lips, walked on her thin legs, and rushed towards Gu Ming, and was about to grab it.
"You don't have enough time to coax people?" Li Hao is the grandson of the village chief, so he is naturally not afraid of her, an alien woman. If it weren't for Wu Lao Wu's superficial medical skills, with Aunt Wu's character of stealing chickens and dogs, she would have been driven out of Qingshan Village a long time ago.
Aunt Wu raised a pair of mouse eyes and asked, "I didn't hit it, where did the injury on the pheasant come from?" If it weren't for the pheasant being injured, would you be able to catch it with your clumsy look? The wild creatures in this mountain have always been the ones who hit them. This pheasant was injured by me, and it will naturally belong to me! β
"Wait! You said you injured this pheasant? What did you use to hurt you? Gu Ye suddenly asked.
Aunt Wu was caught off guard and said, "I'...... I was injured with a stick...... Right! With the stick in my hand, I broke the pheasant's wings, and it couldn't fly! β
Gu Ye showed a sly smile and said, "If it was beaten with a stick, the wound should be strip-shaped, but the pheasant in my brother's hand, the wound on the wings, is round!" β
"Huh? Ah-I misremember, I stoned it, yes! Smashed with stones!! Aunt Wu immediately changed her words, and a pair of mouse eyes glared at Gu Ye fiercely. This stinky girl doesn't dare to look at people on weekdays, how did she change sex today?
Gu Ming stepped forward, blocked Aunt Wu's fierce sight, and snorted coldly: "Okay, then what kind of stone did you use to hit it, where did you hit it, what shape and how ......big the stone was?"
"This ......" Aunt Wu faced Gu Ming's endless questions, she didn't know how to deal with it, and suddenly made a straight face, revealing a very unreasonable side, "Stinky boy, why are you asking so much!" Get it! β
It's really shameless, invincible in the world. This mother-in-law actually went straight to *! Li Hao and Uncle Jiu's eldest and youngest pairs hurriedly stepped forward to stop her. Li Xiuniang ran into the distance, shouting as she ran: "Grandpa, dad, brew!" Aunt Wu stole our thingsβ"
The last time Aunt Wu borrowed something and didn't return it, she was already warned by the village chief. If the fact that she snatched the children's things is confirmed, then the old thing doesn't know what to do with them.
She was in charge of the family and treated the dead outside the mountain, so she had to hide in this mountain as a last resort. If they are kicked out, they don't know where they can go, will they be caught by the police...... Thinking of this, Aunt Wu took a sip unwillingly, and left quickly with the medicine basket.
"Fight" ran away from the evil woman, and the friends invariably let out a burst of cheers. Gu Ye proposed: "Sister Li, you go to the house to get a crockpot and salt, let's have an outdoor picnic, right?" β
The youngest Gu Xiaoshuang's eyes lit up, and Li Xiuniang also swallowed her saliva. Ying Gu shook her head and said, "Xiao Yezi, your body is weak and needs to be recuperated." You can take this pheasant home, and the soup is the most nourishing. β
Sister Li and Li Hao also nodded vigorously in agreement.
"Sister Li, others don't know about my family's situation, can you still be unclear? Do you think my brother and I will be able to take a few bites if we take it home? Isn't it cheap for their mother and son when the time comes? β
Gu Ye was abused, and there was almost nothing in the village that did not know about it. Hearing this, the friends didn't say anything anymore. Besides, for mountain children who don't eat meat more than a few times a year, a bowl of chicken soup is really a great temptation for them.
Several friends got together and bit their ears, agreeing that they couldn't eat the chicken soup of Gu Ming's brothers and sisters for nothing. So, they ran home, some took two sweet potatoes, some scooped half a bowl of white noodles, and some filled an egg...... By the time Sister Li brought the clay pot for their stewed soup, there was already a small pile of ingredients on the ground.
When Aunt Ying was cleaning up the pheasants, the friends were called by Gu Ye's envoy to pick up mushrooms. She then dug up the source of the wild vegetables, and picked angelica and a finger-thick codonopsis from the space. How can stewed chicken soup be without these body-tonifying herbs?
Soon, a pot of fragrant pheasant mushroom soup came out of the pot. Aunt Ying tore a big chicken leg for Gu Ming and Gu Ye, and the rest of the chicken was divided among the friends. The chicken soup is so delicious that you almost want to swallow your tongue.
After eating the chicken and mushrooms, mixing gnocchi in the soup, beating an egg, putting the wild vegetables that everyone picked back, digging out the roasted sweet potatoes and potatoes from the wood ashes, and the eight children ate their stomachs round! Even during the Chinese New Year, I have never eaten so satisfied.
