Gu Zheqi looked at the village chief, said nothing, and walked out as if he hadn't heard.
Apologize? Does Baiding, who has no dealings with him, understand that even a village chief deserves to be asked to apologize? He is going to do big things in the future!
"Cousin, if you finish this early, we can get the food. You are wasting everyone's time."
Hearing Gu Jiu's voice, Gu Zheqi turned around angrily: "Gu Jiu, you have to fight against me, don't you?"
Gu Jiu looked at Gu Zheqi's eyebrows furrowed, as if he was impatient because everyone owed him 280,000 yuan. A feeling of nausea arose spontaneously. If he hadn't considered that there were so many people, he would have really wanted to step forward and kick him. .
"Cousin." Gu Jiu paused and turned his head to avoid his 258 gesture, and continued: "The total amount of food is certain. When the time comes, all the food will need to be transported back and distributed uniformly by the village chief. .”
As soon as Gu Jiu pointed it out, everyone present was not stupid and immediately understood the meaning of the words. When they looked at Gu Zheqi again, they complained.
"Zheqi, you are a junior and you should apologize." Although the words were addressed to Gu Zheqi, Mr. Gu never took his eyes away from Gu Jiu from beginning to end.
Facing the look that wanted to smash her to death immediately, Gu Jiu tilted his head and smiled nonchalantly: Mr. Gu, when you tried to squeeze all the value out of me again and again, you should have expected this day to happen!
"That's right, Zhe Qi, your grandpa has already spoken, please finish it quickly so that we can get food quickly!"
Listening to the sounds around him, Gu Zheqi lowered his head slightly unwillingly, then stood up straight and arrogantly and walked out as if there was no one around.
The village chief was too lazy to meet Gu Zheqi. When he saw the other person walking down the steps, he stopped wasting everyone's time. Afterwards, the group of people walked towards the back mountain enthusiastically.
"Village Chief, are you kidding me? This food is placed in the foggy area? Can it be entered here?"
"That's right! Village chief, the villagers are here to survive, not to die!"
Looking at the foggy area, everyone who was enthusiastic at the beginning immediately withered and began to complain.
"Gu Jiu, are you deliberately bringing everyone to such a dangerous place just to show off your talent? Many people have died in this place!" Gu Zheqi sneered and said with disdain.
"That's right! Girl Jiu, did you remember the wrong place? People can die in this foggy area! How could food appear in such a place?" A person looked at Gu Jiu and also questioned.
Gu Jiu ignored it, pushed aside the dead branches blocking the road, and walked straight in: "The fifteen hundred kilograms of potatoes are indeed in here. If you don't believe it, you can choose to give up, so that others can get more. Some."
Hearing this, the villagers immediately hesitated. They were going to move food. If they didn't go, their share would definitely be small. But this foggy area is...
"Folks, if Jiu girl dares to walk in directly, she must be confident. It has just snowed. If everyone follows her footprints, nothing will happen to her." After hearing the village chief's words, everyone immediately understood and crowded around He wanted to go there first, but at this moment another voice suddenly came from the crowd: "Village Chief, what should I do if my feet are so small?"
village head:……
"Yes, I have big feet, so I have to walk behind you." So many people started to squeeze back.
village head:……
Seeing Gu Jiu's disappearing figure, the village chief took the lead in stepping over the dead branches, followed closely by Aunt Xia. Gu Jiu had just said goodbye to her man, and this time he would treat it as repaying her favor.
Gu Jiu stopped at a place full of dead branches, pulled open the branches above, removed the dead leaves, and a large area of potatoes was revealed.
"Oh, there are really so many! Xiaojiu, you have done a great job! How did you find so many potatoes!" The village chief lay on the ground, reached out for a potato, patted the mud and took a big bite.
"It smells so good. I haven't eaten potatoes for so long that I almost forgot what they taste like."
Gu Jiu smiled, picked up one and handed it to Aunt Xia, who came next: "Auntie, let's have one too. We'll move it later when they arrive."
Aunt Xia took it over a little flattered: "Give it to me directly for such a big one! Xiaojiu is so capable. Tell Auntie, how did you find so many potato fields?"
"I didn't find him." Gu Jiu spread his hands and continued under the stunned eyes of the two people: "It was a big green snake that led me here."
"snake?!"
Aunt Xia was startled when she heard there was a snake. She didn't even bother to eat the potatoes and immediately looked around. The village chief immediately smiled and patted her, telling her that snakes would not come out when it snowed heavily.
Hearing this, Aunt Xia breathed a sigh of relief: "Xiao Jiu, how could that snake lead you to find food? Could it be that you can hear animals talking like the legend?" After coming back to her senses, Aunt Xia continued to ask.
Gu Jiu shook his head: "The big green snake was injured. I helped it, and it led me to find these potatoes."
"That's it."
After a while, other people in the village also walked over cautiously. The leader was Zhao, followed closely by Gu Youcai. He didn't need to think about it to know what just happened outside. Ms. Zhao was very careful with every step she took, for fear of stepping on something she shouldn't step on. When she looked up and saw Gu Jiu and the others, she was filled with excitement.
"Xiao Jiu, there's nothing here!" Zhao called to Gu Jiu while taking small steps.
Gu Jiu nodded, indicating that she could stride over.
Different from being cautious just now, the villagers who came over saw the large tracts of potatoes and immediately started to grab them. Fortunately, the village chief had foreseen it and even stopped them.
"In a moment, we will go from house to house to deliver food. The rest of the people who have received the food will be responsible for transporting the food down the mountain to the village brigade. Women, children and children will not have to come back after delivering it, and they will stay in the village brigade to take care of them. Food! Let’s try to transport all the food and distribute it in one go today, so that we can have an easier time tomorrow!”
"Okay! I'll go down first." As he said this, a middle-aged man jumped down first, took the basket and started loading potatoes.
After seeing the food, everyone had no other thoughts and began to work together to carry the potatoes. Gu Jiu looked at Gu Zheqi, who was standing with his arms folded and leaning against the tree. He couldn't help but wonder, could he carry the potato on his back?
Gu Zheqi obviously noticed Gu Jiu who was about to leave, and immediately raised his leg to stop her: "What? You want to run away while you are working?"
Gu Jiu raised his leg and kicked his leg off another tree, and replied directly: "I want everyone to eat more and give up food voluntarily. Do you have a problem? Or do you want to give up too? And help with the work for free?”
Gu Zheqi was choked for a moment, and under his mother Wang's crazy hint, he didn't say a word in the end. As soon as Gu Jiu left, Mrs. Wang immediately stuck up and whispered in Gu Zheqi's ear: "Qi'er, these potatoes are divided according to family members. If she doesn't want us, just take more! Besides, she's a dead duck. She’s so stubborn that she won’t be able to hold on for a few days, and we won’t give her any food when the time comes!”
Gu Zheqi nodded in agreement with this statement. He wanted to see how long Gu Jiu could be so stubborn!
After leaving the mountain, Gu Jiu went straight back home. Now that their goal had been achieved, they only needed to wait for the city gate to open before they could leave.
"Jiu'er, what happened? Why are all the family members out?" Ye Qing asked immediately when he saw Gu Jiu coming back from the door.
Gu Jiu was afraid that Ye Qingyi and Gu Jing would affect the painting, so he told them not to go out for the time being. It was nothing at first, but seeing Mr. Gu holding the basket and walking out the door, Ye Qing immediately felt that something was wrong.
"Mom, it's okay. The people in the village are now carrying tools to the back mountains to move potatoes. We still have a lot of food, so we told the village chief that we don't want it."
"That's it. I jumped so hard that I thought something happened!" Ye Qing patted his chest, and the stone in his heart fell to the ground.
"Jiu'er, when the city gate opens, remember to thank me properly before you go to the city. I gave you such a good treasure without saying a word."
The treasure Ye Qingyi mentioned was a piece of handkerchief, which Gu Jiu had previously used to cover up the ability to transfer his own dimension.
"Okay. But mother, when the city gate opens, Xiaojing and I will go to the city together. We will buy a house there and not come back."
"Not coming back? But...your grandfather agrees?" Ye Qing subconsciously looked towards the main room and asked in surprise.
"Agree." Gu Jiu nodded and saw Gu Jing who had just ran out and continued: "Regardless of the resources in the city, we will also send Xiao Jing to study when the time comes."
"Reading? Me?"
"Yes, when the time comes our Xiao Jing will also be selected as a scholar."
"Okay!" Gu Jing greeted her while pulling Gu Jiu toward the house: "Sister, the little rabbit is born. Come and see. It's very small!"
…
The days that followed were much calmer. With the food, everyone in the village except Gu Zheqi's family was very happy.
"No, there are obviously thirteen people in our family, why should we be counted as eight people!"
"You can't count the fact that Qi Yatou left. Xiao Jiu also gave up voluntarily, so you are a family of eight in total!"
"Then what can Gu Jiu know as a child..."
Gu Wensheng led everyone to argue repeatedly with the village chief unwillingly, but after a long time of arguing, the result still could not be changed. Even if the village chief agrees to the radius, other villagers will not agree. At this time, even one tael of grain can be life-saving at a critical moment!
"Damn girl, why are you so lazy? If you worked a little bit, would our family get such a small share?" After coming back, Mrs. Gu kept nagging her.
But Gu Jiu didn't pay attention to her. The matter was settled now. As long as nothing happened again and the city gate opened in Kaichun, she could leave completely. Quarrel with her during the meal.
"Didn't you hear my old lady talking to you? Are you deaf, you cheap hoof?"
Seeing that Gu Jiu ignored her, Mrs. Gu immediately raised her voice.
