Chapter 496 The Village King Arrives

Gu Xiaoxuan went out, listened attentively for a while with bated breath, then walked towards the small square in the yard with a smile.

It had just snowed and everything was white. Her black leather shoes made a squeaking sound as she stepped on the three-centimeter-thick snow.

Gu Xiaoxuan couldn't help but skipping forward, and as soon as she showed up, someone threw a huge snowball at her.

She dodged easily by turning her body to the side and gave the man a sincere smile.

But the child felt insulted, and he exchanged a look with his friends, who then bent down, rolled up snowballs and threw them at her.

Gu Xiaoxuan dodged left and right with the plastic basin, but was not hit by any hits!

Insult and shame! This is the naked mockery and contempt that the rural kids cast at these children from the big courtyards!

They cannot lose face for the children of the compound.

Besides, their families would send them to the army for training every winter and summer vacation. They have excellent physical fitness, speed and agility. How could they be defeated by a country bumpkin?

Gu Xiaoxuan raised her eyebrows and could not help but quietly rolled her eyes. She had been hiding for more than ten minutes. She simply bent down and made a snowball while hiding, and rushed towards them.

Hit with one move!

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then became even angrier. Well, now she was openly provoking them!

Gu Xiaoxuan's snowball hit them one by one, and then said, "Stop! You are all dead!

You are still boys, why don't you follow these rules? "

They looked at each other, nodded helplessly and humiliatedly, indicating that they had indeed been hit by her.

Gu Xiaoxuan ignored them and continued walking towards a place where the snow had not been stepped on yet. She set up a plastic basin, sprinkled some cake crumbs in it, then pinched the string and walked away, making a gesture to them to be quiet.

The children all quieted down and curiously came up to her to ask.

"Are you catching birds?"

"We have done that before, but we have never been caught!"

They have more or less relatives and friends in the countryside, and naturally they are also led by others to catch greedy birds. However, the probability of catching them is not very high, and when they come back to do it themselves, the success rate is even lower.

Gu Xiaoxuan smiled without saying anything and continued to use her index finger to indicate silence at her lips.

The big guy stood still nervously, his dark eyes fixed on the plastic basin.

The world suddenly became silent and time was stretched out. No one knew how long it was. When their legs and feet became numb and cold, a few birds finally couldn't resist the temptation and flew down from the branches. They jumped tentatively and looked around.

They moved towards the plastic basin step by step, and the little friends held their breath for fear of scaring the little guys away.

A little sparrow jumped in first and took a bite of the pastry crumbs. The aroma of the crumbs with a hint of oil was really good. It took a second bite...

A little boy couldn't help but poke Gu Xiaoxuan and winked: "If not now, when?!"

Gu Xiaoxuan shook her head gently, holding the cotton thread as steady as a rock.

The second sparrow also jumped in and started eating.

The danger alarm was lifted, and a dozen sparrows rushed over. Seeing that the pastry crumbs were almost eaten up, Gu Xiaoxuan pulled the rope quickly.

With a smack, the plastic basin caught all the sparrows! The surrounding sparrows were startled and flew away with their wings flapping.

Gu Xiaoxuan held the slingshot in one hand and took out a homemade dried mud ball from her pocket with the other. She didn't even need to aim. She shot three in a row and hit the sparrow every time!

Not to mention the children, even the adults passing by couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Gu Xiaoxuan looked at the other sparrows that flew away with regret, trotted over and trapped the three stunned sparrows with string, then called out to the children who had not yet recovered from their daze, "Come and help me! Sparrows are too cunning. If I take them out alone, they will take the opportunity to escape."

The children ran over to help.

Gu Xiaoxuan tied up all the sparrows, counted the number of sparrows, and then counted the number of children, and said with a smile: "Everyone who sees it gets a share. We have one for each person!"

"We have it too?" a child couldn't help but point at himself and asked.

"Of course, you helped too. If it weren't for your cooperation, the sparrows would have been scared away." As she said that, she stuffed one into each person's pocket.

Some sparrows struggled vigorously, while others lay motionless and pretended to be dead, making the children so eager to see them that they were reluctant to push them back.

"Shall we pick up some branches and roast some sparrows?" Gu Xiaoxuan looked around. "Although sparrows are small, their meat is very tender and fragrant. I know how to roast them. In fact, the most delicious meat is field mice. Now the crops have not grown in the fields and are all covered with snow. This is the best time to catch field mice.

The meat is so tender and fragrant that it will make you want to swallow it!"

It’s especially easy to build friendships among children.

Their lives were very conventional and they could not resist the temptation of Gu Xiaoxuan, the village king. They all raised the white flag in surrender, happily picked up firewood and found a place with north wind to roast sparrows, and discussed when to catch field mice.

"Xiaoxuan, you are really good at using the slingshot!"

Gu Xiaoxuan smiled and said, "If you have ever experienced feeling dizzy and lightheaded due to hunger, you can also practice to be as accurate as I am!"

"What are you going to do in the future? I think you'd be great in the military, and you can definitely join the special forces battalion!"

"Yes, yes, you are good at fighting and have great aim. You are really born for the military camp. When you become a soldier, you will receive an allowance. Clothes and daily necessities will be provided by the army."

"Yes, if you can get into a military academy, you'll be an officer when you graduate! It's a high starting point, and you'll be promoted much faster than those who are directly recruited."

The children talked in unison.

They had heard a lot from the adults, and now they were relaying everything to her.

"The big pot meals in the army are especially delicious, with all kinds of big slices of meat, white rice, white steamed buns, noodles..."

Gu Xiaoxuan was stunned for a moment, then looked down at her clothes and nodded vigorously with excitement, "Yes, I will study hard and join the army to defend my country!"

This way she can eat from the army's big pot meals.

With a goal in mind, she studied harder. Now she has won over the children in the compound who are in primary school with her life skills.

Adhering to the concept of sharing weal and woe, she pulled a group of Xiao Jun's former younger brothers, who were her new favorite younger brothers, to study together from the first grade of elementary school, in the name of laying a solid foundation for them.

They are not as smart as Xiao Jun who can get full marks in both exams even when he sleeps with his eyes closed. They are just ordinary kids who are really playing around and have missed out on their studies.

In order to be able to rise to the top in the army together, they could only hold their noses and study hard and practice exercises with the new boss Gu Xiaoxuan.

It turns out that they think the eldest brother has never been to school and is a complete illiterate, and they feel quite superior.

However, the former boss was a non-human, and this new boss crushed them in every way.
