CHAPTER IX
At the beginning, when the village chief heard Chen Cihai say that the Su family of the Gu family had hunted a wild boar, he didn't believe it in his heart.
It was a joke in the morning.
But Chen Cihai's temperament is clear to him, and he disdains to say falsehoods, and as the head of a village, there are major events in the village, and he should preside over one or two.
So he said to his children, and followed Chen Cihai with a cane.
He stood aside, listening to the conversation between Chen Cihai and Su Mo, and was a little surprised in his heart, but his face was not obvious, until Chen Cihai came over and said to him: "Trouble the village chief." ”
The village chief nodded, and then called out a few names.
There are three people in the Chen family and three people in the Wang family, a total of six people, all of whom are honest and have a large family.
The six grinned, unable to hide their joy.
If you don't get your name called, you don't get annoyed, you say a few words of envy happily, and then go back to the house.
The sky is getting darker and darker, the night in the mountains belongs to wild beasts, and the village chief is also afraid that something will happen to the big guy, so he waved his hand and asked six men to get torches and hemp ropes, and a few firewood knives, just in case.
"The movements are all sharp!"
The village chief knocked on the ground with a cane, and almost every household had torches, hemp ropes, and firewood knives, and the six men didn't think to let Su Mo provide them.
In their eyes, Su Mo's family of orphans and widows is much poorer than them, and now that Su Mo has restrained his temperament, he can help if he can.
The men moved quickly, and Su Mo walked in front to lead the way, and under the light of the torches, there was nowhere to hide in the darkness.
Everyone looked at the path that appeared at the foot of the mountain, and the weeds on it had not yet dried, and they could see at a glance that the road had not been opened up for a long time.
Walking along the path, after a quarter of an hour, the big guy came to the trap, and looked at the dead wild boar under the pit, and everyone opened their mouths in shock.
"Such a big boar!"
Surprised to surprised, the six men were not abrasive at all, and the village chief had inconvenient legs and feet, so he didn't follow.
Chen Jiu'an, who was the older inside, immediately opened his mouth and commanded: "Wang Yue, Wang Chunyuan and the fourth, the three of you go and cut some branches to make a shelf."
Lao Wu and Wang Changxing went down with me, tied the four legs of the wild boar with a rope, and then pulled the wild boar up. ”
The fourth and fifth are called Chen Yanqiu and Chen Liduan respectively, and they are ranked fourth and fifth in the clan, so the older ones of the same generation call them the fourth and fifth.
The other five people responded and immediately took action.
The men are all good at work, and the most important thing is strength, Wang Yue quickly made a simple shelf, and Chen Jiuan also tied the wild boar with hemp rope and crawled out of the pit.
The six men grabbed the rope and pulled it back with all their might, and after pulling the boar up, they gasped and pushed the boar to the shelf.
"I'm afraid this wild boar is more than 200 catties, and the Gu family is lucky."
With Su Shi's weak body, he actually thought of digging a trap in the mountains, and he really turned her head into a wild boar.
I knew they were going to try it too.
The six of them dragged the wild boar down the mountain, thinking about it in their hearts, but in the end, the people were simple, and when they thought about it, they didn't have the slightest jealousy.
Rakuyama Village.
Seeing that the seven people had not returned, the villagers who had prepared the meal couldn't help but be a little worried, so they spontaneously took torches and went to the foot of the mountain to wait.
Gu Ping'an had already learned about this from the villagers, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried, so he took Gu Xingnian with him.
"Second brother, are you going?"
He looked away and looked at Gu Jinnian.
Gu Jinnian stood up and lowered his eyes, making it impossible to see the emotions in his eyes.
"Go."
As the son of that woman, it was right to collect her body.
Gu Jinnian followed behind expressionlessly, listening to the worried speculation of the adults beside him.
Gu Jinnian looked up, the night was dark and dreary, the wind was passing slowly, the leaves were rustling, and the occasional beast roar was unusually harsh in the silent night.
The woods in front of it were pitch black, like a giant beast with its mouth open and trying to devour everything.
He clenched his fists and his heart fluttered.
Until there was a bright light in the distance, someone in my ear exclaimed: "It's back!" ”
Gu Jinnian looked at Su Mo who was walking towards them.
She was dressed in dark clothes, her sleeves were tied with ropes, and she looked nondescript, her hair was a little messy, and there were a few thatches on it.
The expression was faint until the little sister ran away, the corners of her mouth unconsciously hooked a little arc, bent over, and lifted the little sister in her arms.
My heart is inexplicably a little sour, and I feel a little at ease.
Sensing the feeling in his heart at this moment, Gu Jinnian's face changed slightly.
The villagers all saw the big wild boar, it was very strange, and they surrounded it in one go, Su Mo hugged Gu Xingnian, bypassed the crowd with sharp eyes, and came to Gu Ping'an.
"Mother......
Gu Ping'an put his hands behind his back a little restrained, slightly nervous.
Su Mo sighed in his heart, in Gu Ping'an, he could always see the shadow of his youth.
Maybe it's because I've been drenched in the rain that I want to hold an umbrella for others more.
Su Mo stretched out his hand and rubbed it on Gu Ping'an's head.
"Is Ping An also worried about his mother?"
"Mother is fine, look, that's the wild boar that my mother hunted, let's eat pork tonight, okay?"
A warm current spread along the top of his head and spread all over his body, Gu Ping'an only felt that his nose was sore, and his eyes were misty.
Su Mo gently wiped away his tears with his sleeve: "If you don't cry, don't cry, my mother won't be the same as before." ”
Gu Ping'an cried more and more, his throat seemed to be blocked, he ran over and hugged Su Mo's thigh.
His wish really came true.
Gu Xingnian, who was hugged by Su Mo, covered his mouth and laughed at his brother for being "ashamed".
Gu Jinnian stared at Gu Ping'an, and his eyes were cold and spit out the words "no interest".
Su Mo raised his eyebrows, Gu Jinnian was the most difficult to overcome among the three children.
Without him, Gu Xing is young, simple-minded and doesn't remember, although Gu Ping'an is old, he is on the road of a military general, and his temperament is better, he is magnanimous, and if he doesn't say it well, he is big-hearted and simple-minded.
Moreover, he has experienced that the original owner has been kind to him, and he has expectations in his heart, and it is easier to forgive if he has expectations, and this truth is the same no matter what he is or whom.
And Gu Jinnian, who is only one year younger than Gu Ping'an, has a delicate mind, is the most poisoned by the original owner, and has also experienced being sold.
But can this stump Su Mo? No!
Who is Su Mo? has been able to survive in a zombie-infested world for more than ten years, and there has long been nothing difficult for her.
"Jin Nian is also here? Are you worried about your mother too? ”
Gu Jinnian didn't expect Su Mo to say such a thing, he recalled the emotions in his heart just now, his ears were flushed, but his face was still expressionless.
He didn't start, and sneered: "I'm not worried about you, I'm just worried about the little sister who came." ”
The firelight was reflected on everyone's body, but it also covered the redness of Gu Jinnian's earlobe, and the villagers had seen enough of the wild boar, and they shouted back to the village.
Gu Ping'an also stopped crying, and took two steps back a little shyly.
It's a shame that he cried so sadly in front of so many people......
Su Mo wasn't joking with Gu Jinnian, she held Gu Xingnian in one hand and Gu Ping'an in the other, and followed the big guy back to the village.
Gu Jinnian followed behind him, looking at the hands holding together, only to feel that the light was a little dazzling.
He lowered his head, and the elongated shadows of Su Mo and Gu Ping'an were intertwined, only one step away from him.
The sourness that had just subsided came back to my heart......
