Chapter 15: The First Step to Survival

So far, even Mrs. Gu can't do anything about Gu Lan's thorn.

No matter what, she is the eldest sister of her two grandsons, and her granddaughter is not valuable, but the two grandsons are the root of the old Gu family.

If there is no Gu Lan, who would like to adopt two and a half children in the rest of the rooms! Nowadays, it is hard enough to support your own children!

Half-size, starved to death. It's not an empty word!

can only leave Gu Lan, and can't force her to death, otherwise the village won't be able to talk about it.

The moment Mrs. Gu closed her eyes, she thought about these doorways clearly.

She glanced at the room behind Gu Lan, weren't all the things her sons had taken out from the third child's house?

She snorted coldly, she was really timid and unproductive!

But she was also beating a drum in her heart, she also snatched the food from Gu Lan's hands, do you want to return it too?

But when she thought of the taste of the whole family being hungry in winter, her eyes immediately became fierce!

Bah! Don't even think about it!

Old Mrs. Gu opened her eyes again and stared at Gu Lan viciously: "I don't play tricks with you, your uncles are also kind, I'm afraid that you will eat the tree kudzu and die!" So that the villagers can see the joke! It doesn't matter if you die, if something happens to Zhu'er and Liang'er, even if you die, you won't be able to live in peace! ”

There are a lot of people who need to marry now, if Gu Lan really dies, maybe she can get a lot of silver!

Mrs. Gu's heart crackled and thought, in her eyes, whether Gu Lan lives or dies, she is a chess piece that she can use!

Zhu'er and Liang'er were a little angry, Gu Lan grabbed them, and only replied lightly: "No need for grandma to say, I will also take care of my younger brothers and sisters." ”

Mrs. Gu threw away the wooden stick and led her sons away.

Gu Xiaoshan leaned over to his mother and said, "Mother, let's leave like this?" What about things? ”

Gu Lan didn't die, she could always snatch things back, right?

Mrs. Gu hated to hit him on the head, and Gu Xiaoshan's eyes were full of stars.

"You idiot! You look at her like she looks like she can just ask you to snatch things back? ”

The original Gu Lan was a stubborn person, otherwise she would not rather die of exhaustion than agree to sell her younger brothers and sisters.

Today's Gu Lan is not only stubborn, but also knows how to be ruthless.

That's the scariest thing.

"What's not to dare to do, I'm a big man, and I'm afraid that she won't be a little girl?" Gu Xiaoshan stayed away from his mother and muttered quietly.

Seeing the Gu family walk away, Gu Lan's body loosened, and she looked down at her younger brothers and sisters, with a relaxed smile on her face.

"Look, aren't our days better?"

Zhu'er admired his eyes, nodded incessantly, and said in admiration: "Sister, you are really amazing!" ”

Liang Er was thoughtful.

"Why are they willing to give in, grandma?"

He didn't understand the change in attitude.

Liang'er is smart, and Gu Lan is willing to teach him more, touching his little head.

smiled: "When the husband was angry, blood splattered ten steps." Even if we have nothing, as long as we have this life, as long as we have the courage to resist to the end, these people who want our lives and are afraid of death must also weigh it carefully, is it worth it? ”

Those who are stunned are afraid of the horizontal, and those who are horizontal are afraid of dying.

Now Gu Lan and they are forced, so they can only die.

This is a cannibalistic world.

Zhu'er and Liang'er both suddenly realized, but they were a little sad.

blame them for not having the ability, and the sister who harmed them made this decision.

The two little radish heads snuggled up to Gu Lan's side, and Zhu'er suddenly said, "Sister, then let's go to grandma and ask for the family's land back!" Aren't they afraid of us? ”

Even nine-year-olds know that land is the foundation of life, and without it, it is difficult for them to survive.

Gu Lan sighed silently and shook her head.

"It's difficult, grandma won't even return the food, how can she return the land? What's more, if we want to get the land back, I'm afraid they won't die. ”

The cold and hunger in winter were a threat to Gu Lan and the others, as well as to others.

If you are really hungry to the point of despair, you will only be afraid of death, not retribution.

"Okay......" Hearing that he couldn't get the land back, Zhu'er was a little disappointed, it was the land left by his father.

Gu Lan smiled and comforted him: "People move dead trees and live trees, and if you have to learn to be flexible, isn't it just a piece of land?" There is wasteland everywhere here, and we can open it up ourselves! ”

"Really?" The two children were excited again.

"That's nature."

Gu Lan said it easily, but she still muttered a little in her heart, it is not easy to open up wasteland, but she knows it.

But in order to encourage the two children and let them try all the hardships, this is the only way.

After getting some things from the Gu family, the family was getting better, Gu Lan took her younger brothers and sisters back to the room, and she was still thinking about what to do next.

Not noticing in the distance in the dense jungle, a figure was looking at him motionlessly.

There were drops of water condensed on his eyelashes, and it wasn't until the wooden door was closed tightly and Gu Lan's figure was no longer visible, and the man seemed to wake up from a long sweet dream and blinked.

"When the puppet is angry, the blood is splattered ten steps......" His eyes were full of confusion, looking into the void and not knowing what he was thinking.

Birds chirped, and he stood for an unknown amount of time, until he heard the sound of the wooden door, and then he woke up and left quietly.

"Then let's build a stove first!"

Gu Lan carried her head and cheered up her younger brothers and sisters.

Nowadays, they have not completely solved the problem of food, and cassava is not eaten immediately after soaking in water, but also has to be made into starch and stored so that it can be supplied throughout the winter.

But the washing and steaming of cassava is not something that can be done with a broken urn.

After thinking about it, the matter of building the stove cannot be delayed.

Thanks to the information society in her previous life, Gu Lan didn't watch much survival programs, and she remembered it very well, otherwise she would not have been admitted to a prestigious university from a poor mountain village.

From the corners of their memory, they found a way to build a stove, combined with their existing tools and manpower, and finally decided to build a yellow clay stove.

There are no bricks at home, so they have to go to the market to buy them, and in Gu Lan's memory, there are rich families in the village whose homes are built with green bricks and green tiles.

She rummaged through the cabinets, and finally found only a dozen copper coins in her home, which was all they had.

Gu Lan couldn't cry or laugh, but the two younger brothers looked at her intently, their eyes full of trust.

"Sister, is it enough to buy bricks?"

Gu Lan supported her forehead, and could only pin her thoughts on the fish that was poisoned by cassava.

She found the back basket, hugged her sister, and gave an order: "Go, go to the stream to see if there are any fish." ”

Leave enough fish to eat, and sell all the other fish, maybe enough to buy a brick face.

She knew where there was yellow mud nearby, and it would be much easier to build a stove when the time came.

There was only one fish in the creek behind the house, and they received the basket and went to the second location again.

As soon as he arrived, the sharp-eyed pillar jumped up and shouted, "Sister! Rabbit! ”
