Gu Ye, who didn't know he was being investigated, was picking up the pine tower while being "forced" by his brother to ask why he climbed the cliff. She was so annoyed by him that she took out the purple ganoderma lucidum from the shabby placket, and whispered, "Shh, don't let Mrs. Liu know, or we won't have a share!"
Gu Ming looked around and urged her to put away the ganoderma quickly: "You put it away, and when the shopkeeper Qian comes to collect the herbs, sell it to him quietly. You haven't taken care of your body yet, so you will replace it with refined grains at that time. , Hide in a hidden cave, let you eat slowly!"
The moment Gu Ye stuffed the ganoderma lucidum back into his clothes, he had already moved into the red lotus space. Suddenly, her gaze froze, she gently pulled her brother's sleeves, and pointed to a bush.
"Pheasant?!" Gu Ming's eyes flashed with surprise. Holding his breath, he crept closer to the bushes. It's close, it's close! Five steps, four steps, three steps, at the moment when he swooped over, the pheasant flapped its wings, screamed a few times in a hurry, and flew out.
A pine nut in Gu Ye's hand flew out like a bullet, accurately hitting the wings of the pheasant that just flew off the ground. The pheasant immediately fell and fell heavily to the ground. At this time, Gu Ming just pounced, holding down the struggling pheasant.
"Caught! Got it!! Brother, you are amazing!" Seeing the little boy beaming with joy, his eyes flashing with a look of praising, Gu Ye praised him without hesitation.
The little friends who were scattered around picking up pine towers heard the movement and quickly gathered around. Seeing the pheasant struggling in Gu Ming's hands, they all showed envious expressions. Li Hao, the thirteen-year-old eldest grandson of the village chief's family, exclaimed, "Gu Ming, I really have you! You can actually catch pheasants with your bare hands, you are even more powerful than Zhang Hu's son!"
"Where is it? This pheasant is rather stupid. It can't fly well. It fell off by itself, and I made a lot of money for nothing!" Gu Ming said modestly, and his open mouth revealed his mood at this time.
"Look, there are bloodstains on the pheasant's wings. It turns out that it was injured long ago, so it was easy for Gu Ming to catch it." Li Hao's cousin, Li Xiuniang, who was the same age as Gu Ye, saw the small wound with sharp eyes.
Gu Ming just wanted to say something, but was interrupted by a rough voice like a rooster pinching his neck: "I injured this pheasant first. Give it back to me!!"
The little friends looked at the sound and frowned. She is the mother-in-law of Wu Laowu's family. This guy is greedy and stingy, and always likes to take advantage of others. Almost all the people in the village were offended by her, and few were willing to pay attention to her.
Aunt Ying, who was older, stood up and asked, "You said that you injured this pheasant. Has anyone seen it? Is there any evidence?"
"I said it was me who beat me. What evidence is there but not proof? How can I coax a group of you children from my age?" Aunt Wu pouted, strutted her slender legs, and looked towards her. With Gu Ming rushing over, he was about to grab it.
"You have less time to coax people?" Li Hao is the grandson of the village chief, so he is naturally not afraid of her as an outsider. If it wasn't for Wu Laowu's simple medical skills, Aunt Wu would have been expelled from Qingshan Village long ago because of her sneaky temperament.
Aunt Wu raised a pair of mouse eyes and asked back, "I didn't hit it, so where did the pheasant's injury come from? If it wasn't for the pheasant's injury, could you catch it with your clumsy appearance? It's always been whoever hits someone. This pheasant was injured by me, so it belongs to me naturally!"
"Wait! You said you injured this pheasant? What did you hurt it with?" Gu Ye asked suddenly.
Aunt Wu was caught off guard, and hesitantly said: "I, I wounded it with a stick! I broke the pheasant's wings with the stick in my hand, and it couldn't fly!"
Gu Ye showed a sly smile and said, "If it was hit with a stick, the wound should be strip-shaped, but the pheasant in my brother's hand has a round wound on its wings!"
"Ah? Ah, I remembered it wrong, I smashed it with a stone, yes! I smashed it with a stone!!" Aunt Wu immediately changed her words, staring at Gu Ye fiercely with a pair of mouse eyes. This stinky girl usually doesn't dare to look at people, why has she changed her sex today
Gu Ming took a step forward, blocking Aunt Wu's vicious sight, and snorted coldly: "Okay, then what kind of stone did you use to smash it, where did you smash it, what shape did the stone look like? how big”
"This" Aunt Wu faced Gu Ming's endless questions and didn't know how to respond. She suddenly became stern, showing a rather unreasonable side, "Stinky boy, why are you asking so many questions!! Get it now!"
Really shameless, invincible in the world. This mother-in-law actually went straight up! Li Hao and Jiu Shu's big pair and Xiaoshuang hurriedly stepped forward to stop her. Li Xiuniang ran towards the distance, shouting as she ran, "Grandpa, Daddy, Brew! Aunt Wu has stolen our stuff"
When Aunt Wu did not return the things she borrowed last time, she was warned by the village chief. If it was confirmed that she robbed the children, the old man didn't know what to do with them.
She was in charge of treating dead people outside the mountain, so she had to hide in this mountain valley. If they were kicked out, they didn't know where they could go, or would they be caught by the police. Thinking of this, Aunt Wu spat hard and walked away with the medicine basket.
"Fighting" the evil mother-in-law, and the little friends burst into cheers in unison. Gu Ye suggested: "Sister Li, bring a crock pot and salt from home, let's have an outdoor picnic?"
The youngest Gu Xiaoshuang's eyes lit up, and Li Xiuniang swallowed. Aunt Ying shook her head and said, "Little Leaf, you are weak and need to be taken care of. Bring this pheasant home, and stewing soup is the best way to make up for it."
Sister Li and Li Hao also nodded vigorously in agreement.
"Sister Li, other people don't know about my family's situation, so how can you not know? Do you think if we take it home, how many bites can my brother and I eat? Wouldn't it be cheaper for their mother and son?"
There was almost nothing in the village that the village did not know about Gu Ye's abuse. Hearing this, the little friends didn't say anything anymore. Besides, for mountain children who eat less than a few times a year, a bowl of chicken soup is really a great temptation for them.
A few friends got together and bit their ears, unanimously thinking that they couldn't eat the chicken soup of the Gu Ming brothers and sisters for nothing. So, they ran home, some took two sweet potatoes, some scooped up half a bowl of white noodles, and some packed an egg. When Sister Li brought their pot of soup, there was already a small pile on the ground. Ingredients.
When Aunt Ying was cleaning up the pheasants, the little friends were called by Gu Ye to pick up mushrooms. She then dug up the origin of the wild vegetables, and picked Angelica and Codonopsis, the size of a finger, from the space. How can stewed chicken soup be without these body-boosting herbs
Soon, a pot of fragrant pheasant and mushroom soup came out of the pot. Aunt Ying tore a big chicken leg for Gu Ming and Gu Ye, and the rest of the chicken was divided up by the friends. The mellow and delicious chicken soup is so fresh that one almost swallows the tongue.
After the chicken and mushrooms were eaten, the soup was mixed with gnocchi, beaten an egg, and put in the wild vegetables that everyone picked up. The roasted sweet potatoes and potatoes were dug out of the wood ashes. The eight children ate all over! Even during the Chinese New Year, I have never eaten so much.
