An Hongdou took the broken jade bracelet back from his hand with a distressed look on her face. "You know that this thing is easy to break, but you are so careless as to hang it on your bicycle?"

Moreover, if you just wrap it up with a piece of cloth and then swing it around with a clanging sound, it will easily break into pieces!

"This thing is not valuable. I didn't think about it anyway. It's nothing precious, and I don't have a proper place to store things here." Fearing that An Hongdou would get angry, Er Gouzi quickly explained, "Can't I be more careful next time? I will never break it again."

Although it was a pity to sleep alone, An Hongdou was still very satisfied looking at the things in front of her.

Taking out 20 yuan from her pocket and handing it over, An Hongdou said, "This is your travel expenses. Keep it."

"Then I won't be polite." Er Gouzi took the money with satisfaction, counted it with his fingers wet with saliva, and put it into his pocket with a smile.

My god, this money comes too easily.

"Have you run out of food?" An Hongdou didn't feel disgusted by his greedy look. Instead, she thought he was quite cute against the backdrop of the pile of things in front of her.

As for money, who doesn’t want greed?

And although they were not doing it in an honest way, they did not steal or rob.

An Hongdou wondered, if in a few decades, when these things had appreciated in value, Ergouzi would look back on today and wonder if he could only watch her get rich.

"No, I've only used half of the food you gave me." Er Gouzi thought for a moment and felt that he still had to make some things clear. "But there is something I need to tell you. You know, I didn't have any food when I moved out of my home. I've been eating the food bought from Uncle Cui. It's been almost a year now, and the little money I have is almost gone. So I took out ten kilograms of the food you gave me and exchanged it for some coarse grains as food."

Ergouzi still felt a little guilty. After all, An Hongdou gave him money, and he ate her food without even saying anything.

He really had no other choice.

The little ration Cui Dashan had was not enough for the two of them to eat, and there was not much left, so they could not last until the next food distribution.

"It's okay, just eat the food you need. There's no need to exchange it for coarse grains. Since you're helping me, I can still afford your food." An Hongdou also understood his situation. What's more, even though he acted first and reported later, at least he told her about it.

Even if Ergouzi took it without saying a word, she wouldn't know!

Moreover, she has special powers and can get as much food as she wants.

An Hongdou also reminded him that if he came across copper coins, antique calligraphy and paintings, or even old furniture, he could take them.

It’s true, these things do exist, but Ergouzi thought they were difficult to get, so he didn’t take them.

As for gold, silver and the like, no one would be willing to take them out unless they were poor. After all, these things could be exchanged at the bank, and there was no need for ordinary people to take the risk and buy and sell them privately, unless they came from an illegitimate source, they would be eager to get rid of them.

As soon as he left An Hongdou's house, Ergou gave up complaining in his heart.

Before today, he thought An Hongdou liked the beauty of these things, so she wanted to collect some.

But from the sound of her voice today, it seemed that she wanted as much as she could, and was not just limited to gold and silver jewelry and appearance.

Could it be that... these things will be very valuable in the future, so she wants to save them in advance?

It's not impossible.

However, who can know what will happen in the future?

What if the money you save turns out to be worthless and you end up losing it all? That would be a huge loss!

An Changyue had been sent out by her when Ergouzi came over.

At this time, An Hongdou was in the house. She took out a box from the space, put away the things that Ergouzi brought, and then put them back into the space.

However, looking at the broken bracelet in front of her made her feel embarrassed.

She didn't know how to repair it, but seeing that the bracelet was so emerald green and transparent, it would be a pity to throw it away.

After thinking about it, I decided to put it away separately and see if there is a chance to repair it in the future.

However, this is not a solution.

Ergouzi still lives with Cui Dashan and he doesn’t even have a place to stay.

No matter whether it was the food she gave or the things he exchanged for, they probably would not escape Cui Dashan's discerning eyes.

Once or twice, you can explain it as your little girl liking these things so you secretly exchange some for her, but over time, it is no longer a solution.

So, we have to find a place for Ergouzi to live as soon as possible.

But it's also quite difficult.

Ergouzi has no job and has been away from home for less than a year. If he suddenly builds a house, it will be difficult to explain where the money comes from.

In this day and age, it is really difficult to do something secretly.

Deep in the mountains and forests, the leaves are lush and green.

An Hongdou and Zhang Jianjun each held a rope in their hands and carried a backpack on their backs, and moved forward together to deeper areas.

We encountered countless wild fruits along the way, but we didn't pick any of them.

It would be impossible for the two of them alone to pick wild fruits for the whole village to eat, so it would be better for them to go hunting directly.

Looking at An Hongdou who was walking forward with a sturdy figure, Zhang Jianjun felt a little embarrassed, "I'm so sorry, it's all my fault that I got you into trouble."

Zhang Jianjun smiled bitterly.

Others only see them eating meat, but they don’t know how difficult it is to go into the mountains to hunt.

If he hadn't been exposed, there would be no need for An Hongdou to take risks with him.

To be honest, An Hongdou had no obligation to help him, but since she helped him, it was a favor.

"If you continue to be so polite, should I also thank you for not exposing the fact that I also went up the mountain to poach that day?" Along the way, Zhang Jianjun had expressed his apologies many times, and An Hongdou's ears were almost callused from listening to him.

Suddenly I felt that he, a grown man, seemed a little indecisive.

Zhang Jianjun suddenly reflected and realized that he had said the same thing so many times without realizing it.

Along the way, the two began to discuss the specific arrangements for this hunting trip.

They set their main target on wild boars.

After all, wild boar meat is the most abundant and is a social animal.

However, if you encounter other large wild beasts, you can make do with them.

The most difficult creatures to deal with on this mountain are the wolves.

Wolves are notoriously ferocious and difficult to deal with, and they hold grudges very well. Unless you can kill all the wolves in one go, you will definitely be retaliated by the wolves.

But unfortunately, they are so unlucky.

A lone wild sheep ran past them. Zhang Jianjun ran to chase it, only having time to say something to An Hongdou without even turning his head.

He also knew that An Hongdou's fighting ability was no weaker than his, otherwise, he would not feel comfortable leaving her, a woman alone in the mountains.

But An Hongdou stood there, not moving for a long time.
