Gu Long was stunned for a moment and touched his chin in confusion, "Yes! Why can't I chop wood?"
"If I remember correctly, there are many tigers, leopards, wolves and bears in the nearby mountains and forests. What would you do if you encountered them?"
"You are only nineteen years old and a young girl. It is easy to chop wood, but if you encounter these things, you will be dead."
His expression was extremely serious, he held Liu Qingqiu in his arms and said in a serious tone: "I used to be just a beast."
"The person I am now is completely different."
"Let's go together and let me protect you."
Liu Qingqiu's expression was very strange, and he frowned and looked at Gu Long for a long time.
As if he was researching whether Gu Long was possessed by a demon.
Finally, Liu Qingqiu sighed, "Okay, you can come with me."
"But can you chop wood?"
"You have never been in the fields or cut wood."
Gu Long shook his head and said carelessly: "What's so difficult about this?"
"If I don't know, I can just learn from you, okay?"
"Let's go!"
He took Liu Qingqiu's hand and walked out of the dilapidated house.
Liu Qing'er was still sleeping in the bed and hadn't woken up yet. She didn't know if it was because Gu Long's bed was so comfortable that she hadn't slept in it.
The sky was slightly bright, Liu Qingqiu put the bamboo pole on his back and took out a wood-chopping knife.
Gu Long is responsible for carrying arrows and holding the bow.
It wasn't until he saw the ancient arrows that Gu Long realized that they were not the sharp little arrows shown on TV.
There's a reason this thing kills people. The arrow is flat and half the size of a hand.
That bow was not simple, it was very heavy. It was hard to imagine that Liu Qingqiu, a woman, usually took this thing out for hunting.
Before leaving, Gu Long looked back at the dilapidated house and shook his head.
"When I make money, I'll renovate the house."
“Or build a house with bricks, which is stronger.”
Liu Qingqiu snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "You should think about how to survive."
"If it weren't for our sisters to support you and you had no savings, you would starve to death in a matter of minutes."
"Still want to redecorate the house? Think about it!"
Although Gu Long had changed a lot, Liu Qingqiu didn't believe what Gu Long said at all.
These days, it is already very difficult for people to survive.
Still decorating the house?
Telling a joke!
Gu Long knew that of course she wouldn't believe it, so he didn't bother to explain and followed Liu Qingqiu forward.
After walking for an hour, we arrived at the nearby mountains and forests.
The two men had been chopping firewood all morning, and the firewood was already piled on their backs.
Gu Long saw that Liu Qingqiu was walking very heavily when going down the mountain, so he grabbed her arm and persuaded her.
"I'll carry it!"
"I'm afraid you won't be able to bear such a heavy thing if you have to carry it to E County to sell it."
"Let's switch backs."
Liu Qingqiu glanced at Gu Long again with that strange look, and finally shook his head.
"The government has clearly stipulated that all physical work must be done by women."
"And men only need to be responsible for making women give birth to more children."
"If I let you carry it, once you report me, the government will definitely convict me."
Gu Long didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he forcefully snatched the bamboo basket and carried it on his body.
"What's the crime? I can't possibly sue you. You are my good wife."
"Let's go down the mountain to E County."
"I remember, we have to walk for a long time!"
Liu Qingqiu felt very complicated. On the one hand, he was worried about what Gu Long was up to, but on the other hand, he was surprised by Gu Long's changes.
In this way, the two people alternated carrying firewood and walked halfway up the mountain.
Sudden!
Gu Long threw Liu Qingqiu to the ground, his face turned dark and gloomy beyond words.
Liu Qingqiu bit his lip and asked in fear and anger: "I knew you hadn't changed!"
"what are you up to?"
"Kill me in the deep mountains and forests, and then go find another wife?"
"Shhh!!" Gu Long quickly covered Liu Qingqiu's mouth and said softly.
"What are you talking about?"
"Don't you see the black blind man in front of you?"
In an instant, the pores all over Liu Qingqiu's body almost exploded.
Because everything Gu Long said is true!
A black bear was just over twenty meters away from them, looking left and right.
Then I found a tree and rubbed the trunk with my back, as if scratching an itch.
Liu Qingqiu could clearly feel his heartbeat speeding up, his heart almost jumping out of his throat, and his face turned pale.
"what to do?!"
"If it finds us, we will definitely die."
Gu Long didn't say anything. He took out an arrow from his back, opened the bow in his hand, and pointed it at the black bear.
Seeing this scene, Liu Qingqiu didn't dare to breathe!
In the past, Gu Long would even be chased around by the old hen at home, let alone seeing a black bear.
Now, you dare to draw your bow and point it at the black bear!
Is this still her weak man?
Gu Long didn't notice the look in Liu Qingqiu's eyes, and stared at the black bear with squinted eyes.
The black bear also immediately noticed Gu Long's presence.
It immediately roared angrily, and just as it was about to pounce, Gu Long shot out the arrow!
Poof!
The arrow penetrated the black bear's belly with lightning speed!
Although it did not hurt any fatal parts, it still caused the black bear to let out a shrill scream.
"Woo!!"
Black Bear choked up a few times in his throat, glanced at Gu Long with a fearful look, turned around and ran away!
The speed of escaping is very fast.
Liu Qingqiu, who was just about to praise Gu Long, saw his man sitting on the ground!
She was stunned and helped Gu Long stand up, "I thought you weren't afraid at all!"
"If it were me, I wouldn't even have the courage to draw the bow, but you still dare to draw the bow..."
Gu Long didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said with a frightened look on his face: "How could you not be afraid?"
"Everyone is afraid."
"If this thing comes flying towards us, we won't even have a chance to fight back."
His eyes calmed down a bit and he breathed a sigh of relief, "I saw arrow wounds on that guy."
"It means that a hunter almost killed it before."
"I just thought, I don't have to kill it with one blow, as long as the arrow hurts it, it will run away, and that's true."
Liu Qingqiu was still a little scared and said hurriedly: "Let's leave quickly!"
"There are not only black and blind men in this place, but also wolves, tigers and leopards. Let's go!"
Gu Long also knew that he couldn't stay here for long, so he left quickly with Liu Qingqiu.
After a while, we were back on the road to E County.
"Daughter-in-law, why do you have to go to a place like that to chop wood?"
Gu Long was carrying the bamboo pole on his back and asked puzzledly: "How far is it?"
"Isn't there a mountain near our house?"
Liu Qingqiu was speechless, rolled his eyes and said, "You think I don't want to chop wood near home?"
"Several nearby mountains belong to Mr. Zhou, who is the largest landowner in our area."
"If I dare to chop down their wood, I will have no choice but to die."
Gu Long suddenly realized that he had almost forgotten that in ancient times, it was the landlords in these places who relied on them to maintain peace.
The two people walked and chatted, and came to E County to sell firewood in exchange for two kilograms of rice and one kilogram of flour.
"etc."
Gu Long grabbed Liu Qingqiu's arm and said with a smile: "How can this little thing be enough to eat?"
"Li Da gave me two taels of silver yesterday. Let's buy some more rice and noodles and put them back. We are too lazy to run to the county again and again."
As soon as he said this, Liu Qingqiu's expression changed, and he said firmly: "No!"
"You can't use those two taels of silver!"
