Chapter Twenty-Three: The Harvest Season
"You want to drive me away now?" Gu Yuan smiled, Yan Yan turned his head sideways to look at Erxi.
Hearing this, Erxi suddenly became excited, struggled to climb from Gu Yuan's shoulder to his back, and said, "Brother-in-law, I'll marry my sister to you, don't you go, okay?"
Gu Yuan couldn't help but laugh and said, "I'm afraid that I will give birth to a fawn with your sister." ”
Erxi immediately thought of that strange picture, couldn't help but shudder, thought for a while, and discussed: "Or...... Why don't you have children?"
Gu Yuan took advantage of the situation to push the downward Erxi upward, and said happily: "You just sold your sister like this?"
"I ......" tears welled up in Erxi's eyes, "I just don't want you to go." ”
"People always have to face differences in this life. When this sentence came to his lips, Gu Yuan didn't say it, he heard Erxi sobbing in a low voice, and hot tears wet his neck.
Gu Yuan sighed helplessly: "What is there to cry about?"
Erxi raised his face and said with teary eyes: "You were like confessing your last words before, I thought you were leaving." ”
Gu Yuan threw Erxi down without saying a word, and said angrily: "Come down and go by yourself." ”
“......”
After Erxi passed out, Gu originally thought about going home directly, but thinking that Defu and Sanqiao might be frightened, he couldn't bear to pour cold water on Erxi, so he thought about waiting for him to wake up and then go home.
In the process of waiting, Gu Yuan hit a wild boar with his hand. There is not a single demon cultivator in the forest who can cultivate, all of them are unenlightened beasts, especially wild boars, which have rough skin and thick flesh and are difficult to be hunted, and they are overbred in the forest, not to mention hundreds of them.
Erxi thought of Wang Po's tongue wriggling in his hand again, his stomach churned, and the acid water gushed into his throat and was swallowed by him, and the strange taste in his mouth wrinkled his face into orange peel.
Erxi patted his face vigorously, trying to forget what happened before, he looked at Gu Yuan's side face, and suddenly said, "Brother-in-law, I found that you have a problem." ”
Gu Yuan raised his eyebrows and said, "What?"
"You're a nice person......"
The corners of Gu Yuan's mouth curled, "Do you still need to say this?"
Erxi rolled his eyes and said, "Then do you feel like you're scary sometimes?"
Gu Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'll let you cut your tongue, it's terrible?"
This sentence seemed to have a big impact on Erxi, and he was surprised: "Isn't this terrible?"
Gu Yuan stopped, looked at Erxi very seriously, and said: "When dealing with the enemy, we must be as ruthless as the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, and we must not be merciful."
In dealing with innocent people, we must retain a bit of kindness, understand what can be done and what cannot be done, and must not rely on strength to bully the weak, and must have the most basic bottom line of being a human being. ”
Finally, Gu Yuan added, "A strong person will never become strong because he tramples on the weak." ”
Erxi's eyes slowly widened as Gu Yuan spit out each word, and when Gu Yuan finished speaking, he said in some surprise: "I just asked a simple question, I don't need such a complicated answer, right?"
Or did you hear this sentence from you, saying it on purpose, and playing tricks on me?"
Gu Yuan seemed to have been poked in the heart, and went home with an embarrassed expression. What he said before was all heard from his master, so that he thought about it for more than half a year, and he probably couldn't think of such profound words, he wanted to gain Erxi's respect for him, but he never expected that he would be ruined after saying it.
"Brother-in-law, don't be angry. Erxi trotted up and said, "I think what you said before is very reasonable, and I am even more in awe of you after listening to it." ”
Gu Yuan's face quickened with anger.
Erxi had to run to keep up with Gu Yuan's speed.
......
When a flock of chickens and ducks broke away from the control of Gu Yuan's divine sense, they suddenly rushed into the house like wild horses on the loose. At this time, Sanqiao was sitting on the stool and weeping silently, Defu was beside him to persuade him, and when the two saw the chaotic chickens and ducks, they couldn't help but stand up.
After that, the two saw Gu Yuan with horizontal eyebrows and vertical eyes, and Erxi who was sweating profusely behind him.
Defu rubbed his eyes vigorously, convinced that what he saw in front of him was true, how could Wang Po be so kind to spit out what was in her mouth again?
"This ...... What's going on?"
Gu Yuan turned his head and glanced at Erxi, and Erxi said overjoyedly: "Just now we went out to find my mother-in-law, and promised to sell pork and return her eight broken crystals, she thought that the things she took at our house were not worth the money, so she agreed." ”
"Is that so?" Defu was pleasantly surprised, "That's really good." ”
Until the night, Gu Yuan and Erxi had no intention of going to the town to sell meat to pay back, but Defu did not urge him, perhaps he also understood that the conversation with Wang Po was far from being as simple as Erxi said.
The next morning, when Erxi saw the chicken, duck and fish on the table, he seemed to be greatly frightened. He rushed out of the guest hall to the courtyard, only to see the chickens and ducks in the courtyard curled up in the corner, obviously missing a few.
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law. Erxi screamed very urgently, and then ran to the front of the room and slammed the door vigorously, "It's a big deal, brother-in-law." ”
The door opened suddenly, and Erxi, who almost fell into the house, was held by Gu Yuan, Gu Yuan's eyes showed a cold light, and said, "Wang Po has reported to the official?"
"No...... It's not ......" Erxi said breathlessly: "It was the chickens and ducks in the courtyard that were killed." ”
"Huh?"
When Gu Yuan went out, he happened to bump into Defu, he rolled up his sleeves, and was still carrying a plucked hen in his hand, and the internal organs had been cleaned.
Gu Yuan scratched his head, "Brother, ...... are you?"
Defu sighed secretly, Gu Yuan has always been called brother-in-law by Erxi, but he is commensurate with his brother, and the relationship between this family is completely messed up because of Gu Yuan's arrival.
Defu lifted the hen in his hand and shook it, and water droplets spilled down, "People sometimes have to learn to change. ”
......
Time flies, and before you know it, it is the season to harvest rice, and the wild boars in the forest are becoming scarcer and rarer with Gu Yuan's hunting, and you can bump into one after a few steps in the forest, and now it is difficult to see a wild boar in the forest for several hours.
Gu Yuan has been in the Defu family for nearly two months, his decayed body is nourished by wild boar, and his strength is imperceptibly returning to his body, except for the damaged divine soul that is still helpless, his condition is slowly improving.
It's just that more than ten days ago, he couldn't get any nutrients from wild boar. He could feel that his body was getting stronger day by day, but he always felt that there was an invisible shackle that restrained him, which made his body never reach its most perfect state.
In the depths of the forest there is a small waterfall, the falling water forms a small stream that flows through the surrounding six villages, and there is a farmland next to the stream, where two acres of rice are planted, so as to benefit the labor force of the family, planting two acres of rice is their limit.
