Chapter 10: Let them try the poison for us

"Sister, our fish are gone......"

Zhu'er clenched his fists, and the food he had finally gotten was taken away, which made him more uncomfortable than beating him!

His eyes were full of hatred, he was panting, and his appearance was terrifying.

Gu Lan stretched out her hand to cover his eyes and sighed lightly.

Zhu'er has such a temperament, she is only afraid that he will be carried away by hatred in the future and grow crooked.

I could only comfort him and said, "You are stupid, that fish was deliberately given to them by my sister!" , let them be little mice, for us to try to see if the fish is poisonous, if not, we will not be short of fish to eat in the future! ”

Gu Lan smiled and her eyebrows stretched, if she was really sleepy, someone would send a pillow.

If the Gu family eats fish poisoning, it can be regarded as revenge.

No matter how you look at it, they don't lose.

Zhu'er didn't expect that there was such a layer, his face was full of surprise, and he looked at Gu Lan and said, "So that's the case, sister, you are so smart!" ”

Liang Er invited merit and said: "I reacted just now!" ”

Gu Lan was amused by the two younger brothers, touched their little heads and said: "It is estimated that tonight, they can't help but eat fish greedily, tomorrow we will know whether the fish is poisonous or not, if it is not poisonous, tomorrow my sister will cook you grilled fish and cook fish soup!" ”

"Gollum!" Zhu'er and Liang'er swallowed their saliva in unison.

This night, they snuggled up to a bed as usual.

Gu Lan was holding Zhu'er in her arms, and her two younger brothers slept beside her, one on the left and one on the right.

There was no oil lamp in the house, and the moon outside shone through the broken papier-mΓ’chΓ© window.

The autumn breeze came in through the window, and it was a little chilly.

But they snuggled tightly together, listening to Gu Lan's beautiful voice, telling them strange stories.

Accompanied by Yueguang and her sister, the children of the Gu family gradually fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Zhu'er couldn't wait to get up.

"I'll see if they're still alive!"

Gu Lan was helpless, grabbed him and asked him to get dressed, Zhu'er's clothes were short, revealing her slender calves, and the black and dark plaster solidified on it, and she couldn't see the original skin color.

Not only him, but also several other children of the Gu family, Gu Lan was a little unbearable at first, feeling that her body was too dirty, but now she can only endure it.

She buttoned Zhu'er's clothes and advised: "Don't just look at whether they are alive, pay attention to whether they have diarrhea, or dizziness and abdominal pain, do you know how to ask?" ”

Zhu'er nodded heavily.

"I know! I went to ask Bolt, he likes to show off the most, and if he eats fish, he will definitely talk about it everywhere! ”

Liang'er was also woken up, he rubbed his eyes and muttered, "I'll go with my brother." ”

Gu Lan helped him get dressed, and the brothers trotted all the way to inquire about the situation.

Pearls were still sleeping, she had not had enough to eat all day, she was malnourished, and she slept most of the day.

Gu Lan rubbed her little head and kissed her on the cheek.

Then I went to the creek behind the house to check the situation, and the cassava had been soaked for a day and a night, and three more belly-flapping fish appeared around.

One of them is still alive, and its tail is still moving when it is fished up.

Gu Lan put this fish next to him.

The stream water in the early autumn morning was cold and biting, Gu Lan endured the cold, wet the handkerchief that Zhao Fusheng returned yesterday, washed it, and washed herself in the early morning sun.

It wasn't until she finished rubbing the dirt on her face and neck that Gu Lan felt a little refreshed.

"Sister! We're back! ”

The voices of Zhu'er and Liang'er came from the front, and they sounded quite happy.

Gu Lan smiled, already guessing the result in her heart.

"I'm here."

Zhu'er hurriedly ran over and said happily: "Sister, they ate the fish when they went back last night, and they were all fine!" The bolt also said that it was delicious! ”

This bolt is also angry, and Zhu'er deliberately came to their doorstep.

Before he could figure out how to ask.

The bolt playing at the door began to show off how delicious yesterday's fish were, and he ate most of them alone!

Zhu'er saw that he was alive and vibrant, full of energy, and his heart was angry and happy.

If Liang Er hadn't dissuaded him, it is estimated that he would have gone up and beaten the bolt.

If it weren't for them, these fish would be theirs!

Gu Lan breathed a sigh of relief, the fish poisoned by the cassava did not taste poisonous, which was simply a great thing!

She immediately made a decision and used stone chips to clean and disembowel the three fish she had just caught, while Zhu'er and Liang'er were busy looking for firewood and wild vegetables.

A branch is passed through the mouth of the fish, one fish is used to grill and eat, and the other two are used to cook wild vegetable soup.

There was only a small piece of salt at home, and Gu Lan was more generous than usual and put more salt.

Pearls are still sleeping.

Zhu'er took her out of bed, and the three brothers and sisters sat next to her, watching Gu Lan cook rice with a sense of ceremony.

When the smell of fish overflows, their bellies continue to scream with hunger.

The body of the fish gradually turns golden and the aroma is overflowing.

Gu Lan also began to swallow her saliva, she tore off a small piece of fish meat and put it in her mouth.

I just felt that it was extremely sweet, and it was more fragrant than any food I had eaten in my previous life.

Sure enough, what you eat when you're hungry is the best thing to eat.

"Sister, are you ripe?"

Gu Lan nodded, but didn't let them start eating.

She was still afraid that the fish would be poisonous, so she didn't dare to gamble, and if she ate them, they wouldn't even have the money to hire a doctor.

Being sick in this year is not like the afterlife.

After half a pillar of incense, Gu Lan didn't feel any discomfort, so she gave the grilled fish to her two younger brothers.

The flesh of the belly of the fish has few thorns, leaving it for the beads that do not spit out the thorns.

"Eat slowly, don't get stuck."

Zhu'er and Liang'er gobbled up hard-won food, they hadn't eaten meat in a long time.

The wild vegetables and fish in the clay pot were also cooked, and there were no bowls, so everyone took turns to eat.

The meal lasted for more than half an hour, and the delicious fish soup was drunk and wiped clean.

Fill your stomach and the sun comes out.

Zhu'er and Liang'er leaned against the adobe wall, contentedly touching their little bellies.

Like a cat basking in the sun.

"Sister, I feel like this is the best thing I've ever eaten in my life."

"Me too."

Gu Lan chuckled, "What kind of delicious is this?" There is only salt in it, and later, my sister will let you know what is worth it in the world! ”

Having said that, Gu Lan also felt that this meal had a special meaning for them.

It's such a blessing to be able to fill my stomach with my own hands.

However, it is not enough to have a full meal, taking advantage of the rest, Gu Lan began to talk to her two younger brothers about the next plan.

Cassava and fish.

Yesterday, Gu Lan only carried down fifty catties of cassava, and there were still a lot of cassava on the mountain that had not been taken down.

To get the cassava down, you still need to find a place to soak it, and it is best to find a section of the stream with few people, so that the fish that have been poisoned by the cassava can be recovered.

If you can't finish eating, you will dry the fish and keep it for the winter.

After soaking the cassava to detoxify it, Gu Lan had to find a way to grind out the starch and exchange it for money.

They still have a lot to do.
