Gu Changning paused, turned his face sideways, blinked a pair of moist eyes and said with sloppy eyes: "No, what can I hide from my mother?" ”

"You're not in the right mood today."

"What's wrong?" Gu Changning was stunned.

"It's quiet, it's quiet, it's not like you're normal."

Gu Changning's face darkened, and he looked at A-Niang sullenly.

Co-authored her, she is a little monkey in A-Niang's mind?

Yang Huiyun saw that her cheeks were bulging into buns, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Okay, okay, A-Niang didn't say that you were skinny, but I just saw that you were very listless today, A-Niang was a little worried, and it was good to know that you were fine, but do you remember, if there is anything in the future, don't hide it from A-Niang, remember!" ”

"Uh-huh." Gu Changning nodded again and again, looking very well-behaved.

Yang Huiyun saw that she answered so refreshingly, and when she saw it, she didn't take it to heart, so she had to poke her little head lightly helplessly, and looked at her angrily.

Gu Changning rubbed his head, quickly lowered his head and continued to play, without saying anything.

A-Niang said just now, what will happen in the future is not allowed to hide from her, the dispute between her and Li Niangzi that morning has already happened, but it is not a matter of the future!

Gu Changning, a little clever ghost, secretly rubbed his heart and said proudly, deciding to hide the fact that her brother was cheated of one or two pieces of silver, and she didn't plan to tell Ah Niang in the morning because she was angry that she deliberately picked up the matter by the river, so as not to affect Ah Niang's emotions.

It's just that after this incident, she also understood that even people in the same village can't believe it all!

After all, there are few charcoal in the snow, and there are still more people who take advantage of the fire to rob and fall into the well, and it took her a lifetime to figure this out.

Gu Shan's family is a very ordinary family in Xinghua Village, in the early years, Gu Shan and Yang Huiyun had a hard time in the first few years in order to build a new house.

Yang Huiyun is in addition to taking care of the children at home, but also take the time to do embroidery work to the town to sell, the husband and wife have been saving more than ten years of silver day and night, and finally built a new house, for which last year also owed a few taels of foreign debts, and later Gu Shan took over the wood work of the neighboring town staff and took the deposit to pay it back, otherwise Gu Changning's family now has to shrink their clothes and diet to repay the debt.

But all this is not known to outsiders, they only saw that Gu Shan had built a row of houses in eleven or twelve years, and the appearance was still so atmospheric, and they couldn't help but secretly calculate how much money he had earned, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he must still have extra silver money in his hand, which attracted the covetousness of some insidious villains, and he secretly tried to find a way to hollow out the silver taels in Yang Huiyun's hands and become his own family.

Gu Huai'an is young, has few things, and doesn't know that his family has become a fragrant bun in the eyes of others, and he is convinced of these people in the village, so he didn't hesitate to take out a tael of silver that he had accumulated for many years and bought a useless prescription, which made Dr. Li's family believe that the Gu family did still have money in their hands.

The reason why Gu Huai'an felt a little wrong was because Gu Changning proposed to take the prescription to the shopkeeper of the drug delivery shop, and then he knew that the fetal pills were sold in the pharmacy, and a piece of medicine cost about five yuan, and when he got home, he noticed that something was wrong.

Since the fetal pills are sold in various pharmacies, it means that the prescription is not a secret, and Dr. Li even sold him a tael of silver, which is almost like robbing!

And he also suddenly reacted, since there is a finished medicine for sale, why does he still buy this prescription? Thinking about it like this, Gu Huai'an felt that he had a blocked breath in his heart, he couldn't spit it out sullenly, and it was very uncomfortable to get stuck in his chest without going up and down, so he accidentally said that he had leaked his mouth in the kitchen when he was cooking dinner, and Gu Changning heard it.

Gu Changning blew up on the spot, and looked at his brother with round eyes, just like the big flower and the little flower looked like when they were frightened.

And then there was the scene by the river this morning.

Gu Changning made several contacts in A-Niang's house, put it away before dark, and went back to his room to rest.

When he got up the next day, Gu Changning left all the emotions he had tangled yesterday behind and began to continue his original plan in high spirits.

She put the woodcutter used for chopping wood into the back basket, and slipped out of the door while A-Niang was not paying attention, and just closed the door, she heard a voice behind her.

"Ning Ning, are you going up the mountain?"

Gu Changning looked back and saw that on the side of the village road was another little sister Xing'er, who was on good terms with her, and nodded hurriedly and whispered, "Yes, I'm going to go to the mountains to chop wood." ”

Xing'er is Aunt Chunhua's daughter, Aunt Chunhua and her aunt are handkerchiefs, and the age difference between the two is only one year, so it can be said that they know each other in their mother's womb.

"Chopping wood?" Xing'er looked at her thin arms and calves in surprise, and said not very optimistically, "Do you have enough strength?" ”

"I don't cut down big trees, just shrubs and branches or something, it should be fine." Gu Changning waved his hand.

She definitely can't cut the trunk of the tree, so she can only start from other parts of the tree that are easy to cut.

"Oh." Xing'er thought about it and felt that it was no problem, and nodded in response.

"Are you going up the hill to cut pigweed?" Gu Changning walked towards her, and looked at her with a bamboo basket behind her, and a sickle in the bamboo basket, and asked not curiously at all.

"Well, let's see if there are any wild vegetables to take home." Apricot said.

Although every household in the village has the habit of opening a vegetable garden in the courtyard, there are only a few kinds of vegetables to eat, and the villagers will occasionally go to the mountains to pick some wild vegetables and go back to change their taste, which is very common in the village.

There are many people who pick wild vegetables in the mountains, and when the farm is busy, the children in the village pick the wild vegetables home by picking up firewood and cutting pigweed.

In this way, the wild vegetables and fruits that grow on the roadside, grass, riverside and other common places have long been picked, and only some of the corners and corners that are covered may still be leaked.

"Let's go, then." Gu Changning said.

The two of them went up the hill together.

Gu Changning has been around many times near the foot of the mountain, this time up the mountain, she and Xing'er went further up the mountain, and when they came to a left and right fork in the road, Gu Changning subconsciously chose the road on the right, but was startled by Xing'er's sharp voice.

"Ning Ning, don't go over there!" Xing'er glanced at her and saw that she was about to walk that way, and shouted at her in horror, and hurriedly reached out and grabbed her.

“…… What's wrong? Gu Changning looked stunned.

"Over there...... There are wolves ......" Apricot quickly pulled her up the mountain road, and whispered in a trembling voice.

"Wolves?" Gu Changning's eyes widened, "Where did the wolf come from in this mountain?" ”

She has lived in Xinghua Village for so many years, and she has never heard of a wolf on the mountain, if there is a wolf, the people in the village will be scared for a long time, where do they dare to go up the mountain at will.

"It's true! I listened to Uncle Ge! Seeing that she didn't believe her, Xing'er emphasized heavily, "Uncle Ge wanted to go up the mountain to hunt a few rabbits half a year ago, but after entering a long way from this direction, he heard a wolf's cry suddenly from the shadowy woods in front of him, and there was more than one, so frightened that he didn't dare to go forward anymore, turned his head and ran to the village, didn't you see that he said that he didn't dare to come to the mountain after the beginning of spring?" ”

Uncle Ge? Gu Changning frowned slightly, feeling as if he had some impressions.

Uncle Ge is actually a farmer who makes a living from farming, and the reason why he goes to the mountains to hunt is because the winter is too long, and there is nothing to do for many months, so in his spare time, he will also go to the mountains to hunt some small game, and the game that he catches can't be sold for a few dollars will be taken to eat with his family, and the rest can be sold at a high price to the restaurant in the town to supplement the family.

Hunting is a technical job, it is good to return empty-handed, if you are not careful, it is very likely that you will die in the mouth of the beast, and Uncle Ge only knows some fur, so he rarely goes to the mountains, at most he goes around in circles on the periphery of the mountain, and it is enough to hunt some hares, pheasants, ducks and the like.

It is precisely because of this that he has never encountered a single beast in these years, and he is extremely relieved about this mountain.

Until half a year ago, he was a little dissatisfied with hunting in the periphery, and tried to go deep into the mountains, but was frightened stupid by the sudden wolf howl, and almost fled from the mountains with a stream of urine, and fell seriously ill at home due to fright, and never came to hunt again after the illness was cured.

Wolves are social animals, as long as one or two are found in the mountains, it means that at least a dozen wolves are wandering here, trying to escape from the mouths of a group of wolves, it is like looking for a needle in the bottom of the sea, and the chances are slim.

When Uncle Ge thought of this, he was so happy that he had a great life, and he couldn't wait to worship God every day and thank God for blessing.

Aunt Chunhua is good friends with Aunt Ge, and she also heard about the reason for Uncle Ge's sudden illness, although I believe that Uncle Ge will not deliberately make up lies, but Aunt Chunhua is still suspicious of the fact that there are wolves in the mountains, after all, I have never heard of wolves in the mountains before, why did wolves appear so suddenly?

Although she was skeptical, just in case, Aunt Chunhua still told her son and daughter, telling them not to go deep into the mountains, and even more so that they should stay away from the path where Uncle Ge met the wolf, and it was important to save their lives.

Xing'er has always kept in mind A-Niang's advice, and when she saw Gu Changning about to walk to this path, she immediately grabbed her with a pale face and told her about it, so that she should remember to avoid walking in the future.

Gu Changning blinked his eyes when he saw Xing'er's nervous and serious expression, not doubting her statement, but just a little puzzled: "I haven't heard of wolves in this mountain in the past, why did the wolves come so suddenly?" ”

"I don't know much about this, maybe these wolves are coming from the back of the mountain?" Xing'er patted her frightened little chest and said slowly.
