"Why are there wild geese at this time? They can't be poisonous animals. Xiaojiu, show it to your uncle!"
Seeing Gu Wensheng's extended hand, Gu Jiu quickly hugged Dayan.
"No need, this wild goose's wings were injured so it didn't fly away. I won't look for it anymore and will go home first." As he said this, Gu Jiu got up and ran down the mountain.
The other villagers looked at the wild geese getting further and further away and couldn't help but become greedy. This wild goose is a rare thing!
Gu Wensheng on the side was also very jealous, saying that the wild goose was eaten by people with heads and tails. He still doesn't know what the wild goose tastes like until now. If you eat it once and save two pieces of meat to meet your friends, it will be a lot of fun!
The more Gu Wensheng thought about it, the more excited he became. He immediately saluted everyone, raised his legs and left quickly. Seeing that Gu Wensheng left, Gu Youcai didn't stay any longer, for fear of arriving home a step later than Gu Wensheng and missing a bite of meat.
Dayan seemed to be seriously injured. Except for a few flutters at the beginning, the rest of the time he lay quietly in Gu Jiu's arms.
"Xiao Jing, bring some warm water over here." Gu Jiu said while inspecting the wings of the wild goose.
Unfortunately, the goose's wings were completely broken.
"Sister, the water is here."
"Yeah." Gu Jiu nodded and put the goose into a basin filled with warm water.
This goose had been outside for too long, and because its wings were broken it had to live in the snow almost all the time. Many parts of its body were frozen. If he hadn't been lucky enough to be discovered today, he would not have survived tonight.
"Sister, what kind of animal is this? It has such big wings!"
"The wild goose. An animal that migrates back and forth every year. It's just that its wings were injured and it was forced to stay here." Gu Jiu reached out and touched the wild goose's wings again. Perhaps he didn't notice any malice and had already recovered a little. The strong geese did not struggle.
She didn't have the ability to set bones, so she could only find some small branches to help fix it. As for whether it would be useful, it would only depend on luck.
With a bang, the door of the house was suddenly knocked open with great force, startling both Gu Jiu and Gu Jing.
"Uncle, second uncle, do you have something urgent?"
Gu Wensheng and Gu Youcai gasped for air, their faces flushed. They didn't have time to straighten up and walked inside, as if whoever got in first would get a lot of benefits.
Gu Jiu walked over and suddenly pushed the two people who were pushing each other back. Without noticing, they both fell to the ground.
"Ouch, you knocked me to death, Jiu Yatou, can't you see that the second uncle is here?"
Gu Youcai sat down on the threshold, which made his butt hurt. But just when he was rubbing his butt and complaining, Gu Wensheng stood up immediately and said: "Xiao Jiu, it's hard to deal with the wild goose's hair. Uncle, please help." You do it."
As he spoke, he sprinkled it in. When he saw the wild geese sitting in the basin, he laughed so hard he couldn't close his mouth: "Xiao Jiu, I didn't expect you to be more anxious than my uncle. I washed it as soon as I came back! Don't worry. Hurry! Uncle will stew you into fragrant goose meat in no time!"
"I don't plan to eat this wild goose now."
Gu Wensheng had a meal and said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter when you eat. You can eat it early or late. Xiaojiu, get out of the way quickly. My uncle will cook it for you in a while, so that you don't have a long night and many dreams and others steal it." !”
"I said, I don't plan to eat it now! And I found this wild goose. If I say I don't want to eat it, then no one can touch it!"
Hearing this, Gu Wensheng immediately lowered his face, stared at Gu Jiu with an unkind expression, and said: "Girl Jiu, juniors should have the consciousness to be juniors! You don't think that your uncle, me and your second uncle really want to start from If you take something here, do you still need your permission?"
Gu Jiu heard this and said sarcastically: "Uncle, if you really think you have such strength, you might as well give it a try."
"Okay! If you have money, we two brothers will teach her what the rules are today!"
Gu Youcai: ...If you want to come up, come up. Why are you always winking at me? Do you think you are the only one who wants to reap the benefits? If this girl can beat your son like that, she must have two brushes. Why should I be the one in charge?
"No problem, just listen to big brother."
Gu Wensheng: ...Then you should go up. As a child for more than ten years, the heaviest job I have ever done is to collect a few kilograms of meat during the Chinese New Year, which is not on the same level as those of you who push rocks and run away!
Gu Jiu rolled his eyes when he saw the two people pretending to be stupid. He stepped forward and pushed them out: "Uncle and second uncle, don't worry. We will never forget you when we eat wild geese." .”
"As expected, it was my eldest (second) uncle who caused the pain. This..."
Gu Jiu closed the door and didn't bother to listen to the unbelievable things they said; she couldn't eat Dayan, not because she was very caring, but because it was unnecessary. On the contrary, if there is really no food and people are starving to death, she will definitely not keep it.
"Sister, when will it get better?" Gu Jing stood aside and watched intently as Gu Jiu fixed the wings of the wild goose, and said, "When it gets better, will it leave?"
"Yes. If it is willing to stay then, we will keep it." The wild goose losing its wings is tantamount to being sentenced to death, and sooner or later it will die miserably.
…
During dinner, Gu Jiu was munching corn while listening to Gu Zhe's temper.
"Who can eat this little food! I told you that now is the critical time for me to study! Are you stealing things from home to support your Gu Qi? Take your things and get out, I want to go to grandma! Gu Zheqi said as he walked out of the house. Since he suffered a loss from Gu Jiu last time when he checked for food, this is the first time for Gu Zheqi to go out except for going to the toilet.
"Hey, come here to feed grandma's eldest grandson. How can grandma be willing to suffer you? The main reason is that our food has been stolen, so we have to be careful."
"Then why didn't the thief steal from Gu Jiu and the others? I think they still have corn to eat! I don't care, I want to eat corn too." Gu Zheqi looked at the half of the nest that Mrs. Gu had stuffed in, still dissatisfied. said.
When Mrs. Wang heard this, she immediately pulled Gu Zheqi. She didn't want to say this at this time. If the old man misunderstood or got cold-hearted, it would be more than worth the loss!
"Qi'er, you still have two nests here. Except for your family, there are only one and a half nests for one person! But don't worry, this situation won't last long. Your seventh sister is the wife of the Zhao family. This brother of yours If there is a problem, she will definitely help!"
The pun in these words not only struck Gu Zheqi, but also reminded Old Mrs. Gu.
As expected, Mrs. Gu immediately slapped her thigh after hearing this: "How could I have forgotten her in such a hurry? This second house also had this problem and didn't know how to take the initiative to help the family. Grandma's precious grandson, you Wait, grandma will ask your second aunt to get you something to eat!"
After that, Mrs. Gu entered Zhao Xiuer's house. During this period, except when cooking, Zhao said she was ill. She was afraid that someone would mention this to her.
Old Mrs. Gu went in for a long time, during which time there were sounds of crying in the room. But looking at Old Mrs. Gu's expression when she finally walked out, she thought the deal was settled.
On this day, heavy snow fell in Tianzai Ci. Gu Jiu sat on the bed, stretched out a hand from under the quilt and stirred the firewood under the kang. Fortunately, the house was small and they had enough firewood, otherwise this would have happened. Winter is really hard to endure.
There was a rustling sound outside the house. Gu Jiu stretched his neck and looked out the window, only to see Zhao Xiuer coming out of the door surrounded by people.
I still go out in this kind of weather. Come to think of it, Mrs. Gu was the winner yesterday!
Zhao Xiu'er left for the whole day, and only came back slowly the next morning. Her whole body seemed to have been hidden away, and there was nothing else on her face except numbness.
Hearing the commotion, Gu Youcai ran out first, looked at Mrs. Zhao and complained: "You didn't come back last night and you didn't know how to ask someone to send you a message, which made me worry for so long!"
As if he didn't notice Zhao's expression at all, Gu Youcai just took the bundle from Zhao Xiuer's hand and quickly opened the package under the curious eyes of Mrs. Gu, Wang and others.
steamed stuffed bun!
"The Zhao family is so grand! It takes almost thirty buns! Just give it to me!"
"Oh, it's still stuffed with meat!" Mrs. Wang took it over and cut a small hole in it and said in surprise: "The amount of meat is more than what we eat during the Chinese New Year! The only bad thing is that it's too cold, brothers and sisters, Next time you go there, bring two more clothes to wrap, you don’t know how much Qi’er loves to eat these freshly steamed buns!”
"Stop standing here, why don't you boil some water quickly and let my eldest grandson have a taste!"
"Yes, yes! Look at my brain!"
Everyone happily entered the kitchen with their buns in hand. Gu Youcai was about to follow when he suddenly remembered Mrs. Zhao. When he turned around to call someone, he noticed something was wrong with him.
"Daughter-in-law, wife? Xiu'er, what are you talking about? Isn't it a good thing that food is coming? Why do you look like a dead person!"
When Zhao heard this, her divergent eyes slowly fell on Gu Youcai's face, and she moved her mouth, as if she wanted to say something but no sound came out.
"No, you just open your mouth if you want something to happen. What did you do? Did the Zhao family scold you?" Gu Youcai stepped forward and waved his hand in front of Zhao's face, with a somewhat impatient tone: "It's very cold outside, what's the matter? Let’s go inside and talk about it.”
"Xiao Qi is dead..."
"What?"
"Xiao Qi... is gone." Zhao's voice was so small that it seemed like she just opened her mouth.
Gu Youcai put his ear to it, and after listening for a long time, he raised his head in shock: "Qi'er is gone? Why? Did the Zhao family do it?"
Mrs. Zhao shook her head: "I don't know, they had already buried Xiao Qi when I arrived... I shouldn't have gone to see her for so long. I, I thought that Mr. Zhao wouldn't be able to do anything because of his friendship with the villagers." Xiao Qi is too harsh, but, but..."
As Zhao spoke, her voice became louder unconsciously, and Gu Youcai quickly pulled her back into the room.
Gu Jiu stood in the house and looked at the farce outside the window. He didn't feel sorry for Zhao at all. If he didn't have the intention to harm others in the first place, how could he end up like this!
