Chapter 81 82. Changing Fish

"So Aunt Seven lied?" Xiao Leshun asked, not quite understanding.

Jin Qianqian, who had been hiding behind Gu Wenheng, quickly raised a string of fish in her hand and said, "Aunt Qi didn't lie. These fish were indeed caught with earthworms. It can be considered an exchange."

Gu Wenheng turned and stared at Jin Qianqian, wanting to hear how she would continue her story.

Jin Qianqian, "Look, they are also using fish hooks to fish, are there earthworms hanging on them?

These earthworms are a favorite food of fish. If they eat them, are we giving the earthworms away?"

Gu Wenheng, "." Edit, continue editing.

Xiao Leshun nodded as if he understood, which increased Jin Qianqian's interest in continuing to fool people.

At this point, he became even more excited. "The fish ate our earthworms, and in return, they gave themselves to us. So did Auntie trade the earthworms for the fish?"

Hong Daya: "..." Seventh brother's wife can really lie with her eyes open.

Gu Wenheng: "..." Besides being a scammer, he's also an idiot.

Gu Leshun: "..." What aunt said seems to make sense, but what's the problem?

Jin Qianqian hummed a song, picked up her newly-obtained trophy, and ran to show off to Li Cuicui.

Gu Wenheng quickly handed a small string of fish to Xiao Leshundi, "Here, take it. These were exchanged for earthworms."

Hong Daya didn't know whether to cry or laugh. How would she explain to her child next time that not every earthworm could be exchanged for a fish?

Life is peaceful here, and the originally sad faces of these people are gradually returning to peace in this tranquil world.

But outside the city gate not far from them, large numbers of refugees rushed in, and the soldiers who were originally guarding the city had long disappeared.

Village Chief Shi and other people who did not leave were hiding at the city gate, shivering, but they did not have the courage to run in with the others.

"Village chief, what should we do now? Will these people implicate us?" Thinking of the people who were thrown out last time, some villagers began to tremble.

Everyone gathered around, wanting to ask the village chief for advice.

"Tell everyone to stay away and don't get dragged into this. If things continue like this, something bad might happen." Village chief Shi was extremely regretful now. Even if he had been through so much hardship and fatigue in the past few days, if he had left here with everyone, he wouldn't have to worry here today.

"Then should we leave first?" He Tuping had already regretted it in his heart. He should have carried his elder brother on his back and taken him away at that time. Now he wouldn't have to eat grass roots here every day.

Village Chief Shi was so frightened that his legs went weak. "Everyone, pack up quickly. We don't want to take anything too complicated. Try to pack as light as possible and leave here before dark."

"Are we going to travel overnight?" Some people were panicking. "If we run into wild beasts in the forest, we will be dead."

"Then you just stay here. I won't care about you this time," Village Chief Shi turned around and shouted to his wife and children, "Pack your things quickly. We'll leave soon."

As for whether the others leave or not, at this point, I don’t want to waste any more words on it.

He Tuliang didn't dare to ask any more questions at this time, he turned around and ran back, "Yuan Feng, hurry up and pack your things, or you won't be able to catch up with Village Chief Shi and his family."

"Where are you going?" He Zhou clenched her fists. The outside of the city gate was in chaos. Could it be that the second son wanted to take his family into the city to die?

He Tuping, "Mom, Village Chief Shi and his men are going to look for the head of the village. Let's pack our things quickly. I'll carry my brother on my back later."

"It's already dark, how can we leave?" He Yang had a bitter face. Now everyone at home and outside depended on her brother-in-law. If his family left them alone, it would be like the sky falling.

"No, it's dangerous to stay here. Village Chief Shi and the others are already packing up. You should also take the important things with you. Other unnecessary things should be discarded." He Tuping was stuffing things into the bag while collecting them. Seeing Gu Yuanfeng still standing next to him, he shouted, "Why are you still standing there like an idiot? Get to work."

Gu Yuanfeng said, "Oh," and joined the packing. "Then shall we take the beef with us?"

There are nearly 100 kilograms of beef jerky that have been dried in the sun. It would be a shame not to take any.

"Bring it! How can I not bring it?" He Zhou once again felt sorry for her big yellow ox. It was all her brother-in-law's fault. If he had found water a few days earlier, maybe her old ox would not have died of thirst.

And that family was also selfish. They were all relatives, but they didn't offer to help when they left, which led to their current predicament.

Thinking of this, the old lady glared at Gu Yuanfeng fiercely. Marrying a daughter-in-law who has many brothers not only does not give her any advantage, but she is also suppressed everywhere. This daughter-in-law is at a disadvantage.

"Mom, how can I walk in this state?" He Tuliang lay on the ground with a gloomy face.

"We have to go. Do you want to follow us into the city? Is there any way for us to survive in the city?" He Tuping now felt resentful towards the eldest brother. They could live a good life but he had to perform some miracle. Not only did he get himself into trouble, but he also made it difficult for their family to get along here.

After this incident, no matter whether they were relatives or fellow tribesmen, everyone was avoiding them.

If he hadn't seen so many people surrounding Village Chief Shi just now and he had squeezed over, no one would have come to inform them to leave.

He Tuliang, "But my wound is still very painful, I can't walk, can you carry me all the way? Will you let me fall?"

He Tuping didn't expect that at this time, he still only cared about himself, "Brother, I can't guarantee this to you, but I will try my best to take you away.

If you are worried, why don't you ask your wife and mother if they are willing to carry you together?"

"Second brother, you are so angry now. How can you talk to eldest brother like that?" He Zhoushi jumped out immediately.

"Mom, what do you want me to say? Why don't you and your sister-in-law stay here with your brother, so he doesn't have to suffer anymore."

He Tuliang, "Are you planning to leave us behind?"

"Will you let me speak or not? I'm just making a simple arrangement, but you insist on asking for this and that. What do you think we should do now? Our whole family is waiting to die here?" He Tuping had had enough of his eldest brother's unreasonable behavior these days. We are all descendants of the He family, so why should he always be superior to others?

"Husband, let's stop talking and pack up quickly. I see Village Chief Shi and the others are already walking towards the path." Gu Yuanfeng quickly grabbed He Chuncao and tied the quilt he had just folded around her.

"Mom, it's too heavy, I don't want it." He Bi Chuncao struggled to throw the thing off her shoulders.
