Chapter 408 He is a little uneasy
Several people returned to the temporary dormitory for visiting relatives together. Everyone took out their aluminum lunch boxes, ready to put the cleaned seafood in them. They would light a fire directly and put the lunch boxes on the fire to roast. Those with shells would be placed next to the fire and would be cooked in a short while.
Seafood is naturally salty and sweet, and does not require any seasoning.
Gu Yuehuai called Sister Cheng to go up the mountain, and the latter sent another person and said, "Remember to tell the men to come over in the evening. It is fate that everyone can get together."
After the man agreed, Mrs. Cheng left with Gu Yuehuai, preparing to go to the mountain to see how their luck with the mountain products would be.
As the sky gradually darkened, Cheng Saozi panted and said, "We have to hurry. There are a lot of wild animals on this mountain. If we encounter a strong one, we will both be stuck here. Let's go quickly before it gets dark."
"Hey." Gu Yuehuai responded and quickened his pace, turning back from time to time to pull Sister Cheng.
When the two arrived at the place, it was already dark. Fortunately, they brought a flashlight with them, so they didn't have to worry about not being able to see clearly.
After Cheng's wife stood still, she saw that Yue Huai was calm and didn't even breathe, and she couldn't help but feel envious: "Young people have good physical strength. Your husband is a new recruit. Before he joined the army, he urged you to exercise with him, right?"
Gu Yuehuai was slightly surprised, but did not deny it. In fact, it was the effect of exercising in the Sumeru space after her rebirth and drinking the space well water frequently. In addition, with the extraordinary power of the space phoenix tree, her physical fitness was definitely no worse than anyone else.
At this time, Cheng's wife waved the flashlight in the distance and whispered, "I heard some noise, let's go check it out."
Gu Yuehuai glanced at it and said, "We have set four traps in the woods today. It will take too long to search one by one. How about this, sister-in-law, go over there and take a look, and I'll go over there. We can act separately and get back as soon as possible."
Sister Cheng didn't dare to do it at first, after all, it was dark and the forest was so big, but after hearing her say it, it seemed to make some sense. Besides, she was a very prestigious sister-in-law in the temporary dormitory, so she couldn't show her weakness in front of the little girl at this time, right?
Thinking of this, Sister Cheng gritted her teeth and said, "Okay! Then you can use this flashlight..."
Before she finished her words, Gu Yuehuai had already turned around and headed towards the place where the trap was set today. She was very fast and one could tell at a glance that she had carefully memorized the location today. The girl had a slender back, but she looked very real walking into the darkness alone.
Mrs. Cheng was amazed, looked around, and without delay, hurried to check the lock set.
Gu Yuehuai didn't care what Sister Cheng thought. She followed her memory and found the trap she had put down today. It was empty, just as she had imagined. She didn't panic and walked over. With a thought, a fat and lively gray rabbit appeared in her hand. She put the lock trap on the rabbit's leg and walked to the next trap with it.
After an unknown amount of time, a flashlight flickered in the woods, and then Cheng's sister-in-law's voice was heard: "Xiao Gu? Xiao Gu, where are you?"
Gu Yuehuai had just put away the last locket. This one was quite special. What was hung on it was not a hare, but a pheasant. It was not produced in the space, but was today's harvest. It was not a fat pheasant, but it was also a rare delicacy.
She was carrying three locks, all of which were filled with wild game. The rabbits with their legs twitching looked very lively.
"Sister-in-law, here!" Gu Yuehuai stood up and responded, and the light from over there came towards this side.
After a while, Gu Yuehuai heard Cheng's sister-in-law's happy voice: "I'm really lucky today. I just happened to see a rabbit trapped when I went over. Although it's skinny and doesn't have much meat, it's still a good snack. How are you doing?"
Gu Yuehuai curved his lips and shook the lock sleeve: "Return with a full load."
Sister Cheng shone the flashlight at the lively rabbit and the wilted pheasant in Gu Yuehuai's hands. She couldn't help but stare with wide eyes, as if she couldn't believe it: "What's going on? What good luck have I had today?"
The next moment, she smiled widely, took Gu Yuehuai's hand and walked down the mountain: "Let's go, let's give these men a surprise and show them that we women are no worse than them at trapping rabbits!"
It was not like she had not gone up the mountain to trap rabbits before, but she was lucky if she could catch one out of seven or eight traps.
The two of them walked down the mountain and entered the military area. Along the way, they met many soldiers who had just finished training. Their eyes almost popped out of their heads when they saw the game in their hands, and then they were filled with envy.
In their eyes, wild rabbits and pheasants are delicacies that they have not been able to eat for a long time.
Mrs. Cheng was very proud and had a smile on her face the whole way.
When the two returned to the temporary visiting dormitory, they happened to see Yan Shaoyu coming out with a frown.
Hearing the noise, he looked up and saw Gu Yuehuai. His frown relaxed a little, and he strode over to her, took the wild animal from her hand, looked her up and down, and said in a gentle voice, "Is everything okay?"
Gu Yuehuai glanced at him, thinking of what happened today, and said with a half-smile: "What could it be?"
Yan Shaoyu could tell something was wrong with her tone, and his eyelashes, as black as butterfly feathers, trembled nervously.
In fact, he knew that today's trick could not be hidden from her. After all, Xu Chuangu almost said it explicitly at that time. However, he had been rebellious since he was a child. He did whatever he wanted, never listened to anyone's advice, and was unwilling to explain anything to anyone.
Even though something unexpected happened at home, he restrained some of his outward hostility, but at the end of the day, he was still the same person.
He knew it was not good to make a decision without consulting her, but he needed this opportunity.
Maybe it was because his silence was too pitiful, Gu Yuehuai pursed his lips, glanced at Cheng Saozi who was winking at him, sighed softly, and took his hand: "Let's go, go back first, you're in for a treat today."
Mrs. Cheng took a look at the two people's frank appearance, smiled secretly, and couldn't help but sigh: It's great to be young.
Yan Shaoyu glanced at her delicate profile and hummed slowly and lightly.
When the three of them entered the dormitory compound, they saw several burning bonfires with aluminum lunch boxes placed on them. The unique smell of seafood was already emitting. A group of men and women gathered together, talking about something happy and burst into laughter.
Looking at such a picture makes people relax and have an indescribable feeling of freedom.
As soon as they saw Gu Yuehuai and Cheng Saozi coming back with a sumptuous meal of game in their hands, there was a burst of surprise in the yard. Everyone gathered around and pinched and pulled the rabbits and pheasants, as if they could all smell the aroma of the roasted oil.
"You guys are great! You really managed to catch it? You are quite capable!" An older man came over, took the rabbit from Mrs. Cheng's hand, and gave her a thumbs up while praising her.
Sister Cheng raised her neck and looked at Gu Yuehuai with a smile: "Of course, but little Gu is still lucky."
Needless to say, Gu Yuehuai knew his identity, Cheng Saozi's man, Cheng Gang.
