Chapter 16: The Cellar

Whenever he saw the bright red blood, the scene of Gu Feng holding her covered in blood uncontrollably appeared in front of him.

Horror, despair, sorrow, and suffocation wrapped around her tightly, and her heartbeat seemed to be still at that moment, even though the sun was warm today, she seemed to be wrapped in ten thousand years of ice, and it was bitterly cold.

The last time she saw the chicken bleeding, although she was scared, she could barely keep her composure, but when she saw him injured, all the negative emotions in her heart instantly magnified and could not be suppressed.

Gu Feng was injured before, and he simply cleaned and bandaged it by himself.

Rinse it off, Gu Feng wrapped his fingers with one hand, Gu Feng washed off the blood stains on the ground with water, threw the wooden spoon in his hand into the water tank, looked at Su Jiu'er's trembling and thin back, twisted his sword eyebrows slightly, raised his foot and walked over, and put his left hand on Su Jiu'er's shoulder.

Su Jiu'er tensed her nerves for a moment, and looked back at Gu Feng inch by inch, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes, and her gaze slowly fell on Gu Feng's right hand.

The white towel had already wrapped his fingers, and he didn't see any blood, Su Jiu'er turned around, lowered his eyes slightly, and couldn't help but take a step back.

"Xianggong, let's go to Lang Zhong to prescribe herbs for you, that may get better soon." Su Jiu'er's voice was crying, and the warmth flowed down the blood all over her body, warming her whole body.

Gu Feng glanced at Su Jiu'er lightly with cold eyes, "Are you afraid of blood?" ”

"I'm just a little scared." Su Jiu'er gradually calmed down, and looked to the side as if her eyes were evasive.

Gu Feng makes a living by hunting, if she is afraid of blood, will he dislike her?

Su Jiu'er frowned slightly, raised her eyes to look at Gu Feng uneasily, and asked in a panic, "Xianggong, am I like this, is it too useless?" ”

The breeze blew, bringing a burst of refreshment, raising the broken hair in front of Su Jiu'er.

"If you're afraid, I'll just take care of those prey outside in the future, it's nothing." Gu Feng paused, his eyes swept over the vegetable garden in the courtyard, looked at the vegetable seedlings that had just sprouted green shoots, and asked rhetorically, "Didn't you clean up the things at home?" ”

The fear and uneasiness disappeared as Gu Feng's words disappeared, and the corners of Su Jiu'er's lips hooked up a faint smile, and her head tilted slightly and looked up at him intently, her heart warm.

She's so good at home!

Gu Feng is a person who can't be idle, even if his hand is broken, he still insists on walking around the sky every day, no matter how Su Jiu'er persuades him, he can't stop it, and he is very stubborn.

Every night, Gu Feng had some gains, and the living things were brought home directly, and all the dead things were disposed of by the river before they were brought back.

In the past ten days, most of the small things Gu Feng hunted were rabbits and pheasants, all of which were left at home, and the dead were salted by Su Jiu'er and stored in jars.

As the sun sets, the sky is still burning with orange-red fiery clouds, and everything on the earth is dyed a warm red.

Gu Feng came back from outside with two processed roosters, walked to the house, and casually handed the chicken to Su Jiu'er, "This one is also pickled!" ”

"Xianggong, there is a lot of meat at home." Su Jiu'er took the two bare roosters from Gu Feng's hands, and her eyes fell on the dozen jars in the corner of the wall, "We eat slowly, this meat won't last long before it goes bad." ”

It's not Su Jiu'er talking nonsense, it's getting hotter and hotter this day, even if the meat is marinated after drying, it will still be bad, and it would be good to last for half a month.

Taking the bow off his body, Gu Feng hung the bow on the wall, put the quiver on the corner of the wall, turned his head to look at the jars on the ground, and frowned slightly, "Give some to my father-in-law." ”

"I just sent three jars two days ago," Su Jiu'er quickly chopped the meat, thinking about marinating it quickly.

"Or I'll sell it in town." Gu Feng said and walked towards the water tank outside, washed his hands, and then entered the house and walked to Su Jiu'er, "I'll chop the meat, you stir-fry." ”

Su Jiu'er smiled and handed the kitchen knife in her hand to Gu Feng, the corners of her lips curled, "If you don't take it to the restaurant and show it to the shopkeeper, if they match, it will be even better." ”

Those dozen jars of meat are a lot for the two of them, but not too much for the restaurant, Gu Feng thought so, and raised his eyes to look at Su Jiu'er, "Why don't you sell it directly to the people in our village?" ”

"Sold to someone from our village?" Su Jiu'er didn't think about it so much before, her eyes lowered slightly, and her mind turned back and forth.

Gu Feng's idea is very simple, these meats sold to restaurants may not be enough, restaurants prefer fresh, but the people in the village can't eat meat on weekdays, so this is just the right way for the people in the village to eat meat.

"How much is a pound of money?" Su Jiu'er stirred the soup in the pot in her hand and asked casually.

"Let's just sell the rabbit meat as outside, twenty-five wen a catty, chicken twenty wen a catty." Gu Feng often ran around outside, and he knew all about these prices.

The water in the salted meat is gone, if it is sold at the price of raw meat, it will definitely be a loss for them, but there may be people in the village who buy some back because of the cheap price, Su Jiu'er thought so, and looked at Gu Feng, "Just according to what you said." ”

Gu Feng's strength was already great, and in a few clicks, he chopped the chicken into small pieces and put it on a plate on the side.

The meal was quickly ready, and Su Jiu'er put the things on the table.

"Xianggong." Su Jiu'er handed the chopsticks to Gu Feng's hand, her eyes drooped slightly, she pursed her lips, and looked up at Gu Feng with a look of anticipation, "I have something I want to discuss with you." ”

Gu Feng ate meat, picked up the handkerchief specially placed by Su Jiu'er on the table, and rubbed his lips rudely, "What's the matter?" ”

The hand holding the chopsticks unconsciously exerted force, and Su Jiu'er had an embarrassed smile on his face, "Should our family save a little more food?" ”

Gu Feng narrowed his eyes, his gaze fell on the dinner table, and he hesitated, "Isn't there enough food at home?" ”

On weekdays, the food at home will not be less than twenty catties, and Gu Feng doesn't understand why Su Jiu'er still said that he wants to save food.

The smile on Su Jiu'er's face couldn't be maintained, her black grape-like eyes turned quickly, she put the chopsticks in her hand on the table, touched her earlobe with her right hand, and lowered her eyes, "No, there is enough food at home, I was thinking that this autumn, there must be many people selling old grain, can we ......"

After a pause, Su Jiu'er raised her eyes to look at Gu Feng and cautiously, "Collect some old grain?" ”

"Buy new grain." Gu Feng picked up the chopsticks, took a piece of meat and put it in Su Jiu'er's bowl, "I can afford to raise you, we don't need to eat old grain." ”

This is different from what she thought, Su Jiu'er listened to Gu Feng's meaning, as if she wanted to save new grain.

In autumn, old grain is much cheaper than new grain.

As long as Gu Feng is willing to store grain, she can propose to build a cellar now.

"Xianggong." Su Jiu'er picked up the chopsticks, smiled with phoenix eyes, leaned back slightly to the table, and asked consultatively, "Then should we start preparing the cellar?" ”

"Isn't it okay to put it in the house?" Gu Feng had never heard of grain being put in the cellar, the cellar was damp and cold, and it was easy to spoil.

"However, if we have a lot of food, we can't let it go at home." Su Jiu'er analyzed it seriously, and looked at Gu Feng calmly.

Gu Feng's eyes swept over Su Jiu'er's face, and then he came back to his senses, no wonder she said that she wanted to store grain, it turned out that she wanted a cellar.

Gu Feng narrowed his eyes and glanced at Su Jiu'er meaningfully, and Su Jiu'er immediately bowed his head obediently to eat.

I don't know what Su Jiu'er is counting in his heart, Gu Feng said casually, "Eat first." ”

"Yes." Su Jiu'er nodded, thinking in her heart that Gu Feng was not killed with a stick, which meant that there was still hope, and she thought that if she could please Gu Feng later, she would definitely be able to.

After eating, Su Jiu'er quickly cleaned up, took off her shoes and went to bed, waited left and right without waiting for Gu Feng to come over, lying on the pillow boredly, and looked at the door of the house with blank eyes.

There was a sound of "bang" outside the water, and Su Jiu'er's little feet were cocked and swayed slightly.

Every night, he slept honestly, kissed her at most, and there was no transgression.

With her head drooping, Su Jiu'er sometimes suspected that Gu Feng might have a woman outside, and she had done it with other women during the day, so she didn't want to do it at night.

Su Jiu'er's fingers drew circles on the pillow, the corners of her mouth drooped, thinking that maybe a strange woman would live in their house in a few days, and she felt indescribably awkward.

The sound of the water outside stopped, and Su Jiu'er woke up suddenly, put her feet into the quilt in an orderly manner, and looked at Gu Feng intently.

"Haven't slept yet?" Gu Feng held a towel in one hand, wiped the water droplets from his hair, walked to the table and sat down.

"I'll wipe it for you." Su Jiu'er felt that the time had come to show her, so she hurriedly climbed down from the bed, walked behind Gu Feng with a smile, and took the towel from Gu Feng's hand.

She has always done things carefully, even if she wipes her hair, she wipes it clean little by little.

"You should wash your hair during the day." Su Jiu'er stood behind Gu Feng and couldn't help but speak, "I heard the old man say that it is easy to get sick when you sleep with wet hair at night. ”

Gu Feng's head was strangely thick, dark and shiny, like the beautiful hair of a black wolf.

"Get used to it." Gu Feng said casually.

The dim kerosene light illuminated the dilapidated houses, and all that could be heard was the sound of Su Jiu'er helping Gu Feng wipe his hair.

Seeing that Gu Feng's hair was not dripping much, Su Jiu'er changed a dry towel and wiped it for him again, seeing that his hair was almost dry, Su Jiu'er stopped.

The two of them went to bed, and Gu Feng didn't forget to extinguish the kerosene lamp.

In the dark, Su Jiu'er raised her eyes to look at the dark bed, and called out softly, "Xianggong." ”

"Yes."

Su Jiu'er turned to face Gu Feng, leaned towards him, and asked, "Xianggong, let's prepare a few cellars, okay?" ”

How many cellars?

Gu Feng was shocked, generally speaking, a cellar is almost the size of a room, several cellars, how much grain is she going to store?
