"Ah" Liu Shi woke up in the morning and found that his mouth was in unbearable pain, and there seemed to be a tingling on his face. Picking up the bronze mirror treasured in the wooden box, he was shocked when he saw it, and couldn't help but let out a scream.
However, the exclamation that should have been earth-shattering became silent. Liu Shi rubbed his throat in panic and screamed forcefully, but still couldn't make a sound.
What's going on? She only slept for a while, and when she woke up, her face turned into a pig's head, and she couldn't even speak. Liu shi pushed the man beside him who was sleeping like a dead pig to wake up, and pointed to his open mouth, his small eyes filled with anxiety and fear.
Gu Qiao, who had been up the mountain for a tiring day yesterday, was shaken awake and glanced out the window. Seeing that the genius was just getting bright outside, he rolled over impatiently and closed his eyes again with his back to Liu Shi.
However, with Liu's indomitable shaking, how could he fall asleep. Gu Qiao got up and shouted unhappily, "You mother-in-law, what are you doing to wake me up so early? You don't have to get up so early to go up the mountain, so you can't let me sleep peacefully?"
With a sullen look, he met Liu Shi's bruised and swollen face like a pig's head. He screamed "Ow", kicked him off the kang with one foot, and shouted, "Where is the monster!!"
Liu Shi fell on his back, and his fat buttocks hit the ground, making a loud noise. She screamed in pain, but after opening her mouth, she was still lonely!
Gu Qiao rubbed her eyes and finally recognized Liu Shi. A trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, and he reluctantly got off the kang. With all his strength, he helped his mother-in-law back on the kang, and complained, "You went to steal chickens in the middle of the night? How could you be beaten like this?"
Liu shi tried several times, but still couldn't make a sound, so anxious that he sweated. She pointed to her throat and lip-synched: "I can't talk anymore! I'm dumb!!"
Gu Qiao managed to discern what she was trying to express, frowned and said, "Why are you suddenly dumb? You didn't eat anything on the mountain yesterday, did you? I never heard that there are wild fruits on the mountain that can poison people!"
Liu Shi desperately shook his head, tears streaming down his face.
Gu Qiao saw the two lumps of eye feces on her mother-in-law's eyes, coupled with the swollen pie face, and couldn't bear to look straight away. If it wasn't for the surname Miao, how could he be so poor, nested in this backcountry, and his second marriage was reduced to marrying such a vulgar and ugly woman
The difficult life has wiped out all his feelings for his ex-wife Miao Shi, and even his two children are extremely disgusting, especially that stinky girl Gu Ye'er! !
"Wait, I'll invite Doctor Wu to show you!" Gu Qiao put on her clothes, opened the door and walked out slowly. To Gu Ye, who was busy in the kitchen, he didn't even give him a look.
The only doctor in the village, Wu Danggui, came to Gu's house for a while, and then shook his head, "Strange, there is no abnormality in the pulse, and there is no swelling in the throat. How can you be speechless?"
Liu shi stared anxiously: Who is the doctor? You ask the old lady, who is the old lady asking
Although Gu Qiao usually disliked Liu's troubles, she didn't want her mother-in-law to be dumb, so she asked with concern, "Doctor Wu, do you see my mother-in-law's illness, is there a way to cure it?"
The past events made Wu Danggui take lessons as a warning. For the difficult lesions he had not been exposed to, he was no longer as stubborn as he was when he was young. Hearing this, he shook his head and said, "Forgive my ignorance, I have never seen such a disease. I think you should go to the town to find the doctor from Jimintang!"
Saying that, he shook his head, picked up the medicine box and turned away.
Liu Shi and Gu Qiao looked at each other and saw anxiety and worry in the other's eyes.
Gu Qiao thought about it and said, "Now is the best time to pick up mountain goods. If we miss it, we will tighten our belts next year to live. In my opinion, you just can't speak, and it doesn't affect your work. Wait. After this period of time, if your throat is still not good, go to the town to find a doctor. Can you see it?"
Liu Shi struggled for a while before nodding helplessly. The couple look at me and I look at you, wondering what happened to the injury on Liu's face and throat.
"Eating!" When Gu Ye's voice sounded in the courtyard. Liu Shi got off the kang, and the slight pain in her ankle reminded her of what the dead girl said yesterday!
There is a god who raises her head three feet. Could it be that her fall yesterday was a warning from the gods, and that she became dumb today, is her punishment for being disrespectful to the gods? Thinking of this, she suddenly shuddered, put her hands together, and bowed to the gods in all directions.
Gu Qiao's impatience grew even stronger when she saw her babbling in a daze.
The breakfast is the same, coarse grain pancakes, corn ballast porridge, and a dish of pickles. Recalling that more than ten years ago, he had no worries about eating and drinking in Yancheng, and he still had twenty taels of silver per month. In contrast, what kind of day is it now? He has had enough of this hard life, when will he be a head!
Today, the whole family has to go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables and pick up the mountain goods, so they made more pancakes as dry food and kept them at noon to satisfy their hunger. During breakfast, the family was very surprised to see Liu's swollen and deformed face. Gu Ye's disguised astonishment was just right, but it never aroused everyone's suspicion.
To change the usual, the children's exploratory eyes, it would have long been exchanged for Liu's annoyed scolding. But today until everyone went out and went up the mountain, everything was calm.
For this, Gu Ming was surprised. Brother and sister walked at the end, he lowered his voice and said to Gu Ye: "Today the old witch has changed her sex, and she's not looking for anything!"
Gu Ye smiled and said, "Perhaps the injury on his face is too severe, and it hurts when he speaks, so that's why it stops?"
"Sister, what do you think that mother-in-law did that was immoral, and my father is willing to give such a ruthless hand to beat people like that?" Overnight, his face was swollen like that, which inevitably made people suspect that the couple had a conflict. .
Gu Ye raised his eyebrows and smiled happily: "Has she done few wicked things? According to me, it's better to beat her harder to relieve her anger." Gu Ming nodded in agreement.
When the brothers and sisters arrived at the pine forest where the pine tower was hit yesterday, they didn't see their friends. Maybe they came early.
Ling Juechen, who had entrusted the task of finding medicine to those elite soldiers under his command, was quietly following behind this pair of brothers and sisters. Watching the little girl happily picking up the pine cones, she cheered with joy when she found the ripe berries. After crossing, this girl's temperament is much more lively. In her previous life, she always had a serious and rigid face in front of people, but she was extremely sullen in private.
"Brother, let's dig more traps on the mountain. If we're lucky, we'll be able to eat meat in a few days!"
On the hills near the village, there are still plenty of small items in reserve. Zhang Hu, who is proficient in fighting in the village, has a harvest every time he enters the mountains, which makes the villagers envious. Gu Ye believes that his technique of capturing objects is no worse than anyone else's. However, you have to find a reasonable and appropriate source for things, right
Gu Ming had also dug a few traps on the mountain, but there were few harvests. However, he was reluctant to disappoint his sister, so he nodded and said, "Okay! I'll go back and get the stirrup. Let's dig a few more pits in a hidden place."
Most of the people in the mountains are more honest and sincere. Even if the villagers pass by the traps dug by others, few people will pick it up. From their point of view, taking it is not their own, it is no different from stealing. Stealing chickens and dogs is to be despised and expelled by the whole village.
However, it is not absolute. Wu Angelica's mother-in-law once did such a thing and was caught by someone. Aunt Wu's reputation also stinks extremely in the village. If it weren't for her man's medical skills, he would have been driven out of Qingshan Village by the whole village.
The siblings dug two traps nearby and covered them with weeds as camouflage. In order to prevent other people from falling in, there are also marks carved on the surrounding trees. Others in the village see the sign and take a detour.
Gu Ye planned that when the back basket was full, when her brother was going down the mountain to deliver the pine tower, she would go around the mountain, and if she hit the object, she would throw it into the trap, pretending that the object fell into it herself. Well, that's it, perfect!
Ling Juechen, who had been following behind her, had a faint smile on her lips, like flowers blooming, fireworks falling, like a dream like a fairy. His tall and tall figure was hidden in the mountains and forests, and when he reappeared, there was a struggling pheasant in his hand.
"Little girl's body is too weak, it's time to drink more chicken soup to make up for it!" Ling Juechen looked at the back that was as thin as a firewood stick not far away, and there was a hint of distress in his handsome eyes. He came to the rough trap, knocked out the pheasant, and threw it in. From such a shallow pit, pheasants can easily fly out. So unprofessional!
"Gu Ming, there seems to be movement in your trap!" Today, only Li Hao came to pick pine nuts, and the other friends went to pull wild vegetables.
Li Hao knew about the Gu Ming brothers and sisters digging traps. People come and go here, and wild things rarely appear. He has no hope for these two traps in his heart. But when he hit the pine tower and passed one of the traps again, he found that the grass above seemed to be touched by something, revealing the trap opening.
Gu Ming, who was holding the bamboo pole to beat the pine tower, heard that he lost the bamboo pole and ran over. Gu Ye also followed curiously. At this time, the pheasant in the trap had just woken up and was dizzy and fluttering inside. Gu Ming jumped over in surprise, picked up a stick and knocked it unconscious again. Pheasant: Why is it always me who gets hurt!
Gu Ye put on a happy expression on his face, but he was very surprised: his plan has not yet been implemented, and there are no signs of infestation around here. Where did this stupid pheasant come from? However, she quickly put the doubts in her mind and discussed with her brother how to eat this pheasant with great interest.
"Let's make soup and drink it! Chicken soup raises people. The doctor said that you have a weak stomach and can't eat big meat." Gu Ming rejected her sister's proposal to roast pheasant.
Li Hao smirked: "I'm going to get the crock pot and salt!" Last time there were so many people, one person only got two or three pieces of chicken, which was not enough to eat. There are only three of them today, enough for everyone to have a full meal!
Li Hao took advantage of the Gu family's sisters and ate two chicken meals in a row. At this time, he had already regarded his good buddy Gu Ming as more kissable than his own brother. And he patted his chest and assured that Gu Ming's sister is his sister, and he will cover her!
