Chapter 101: Just let these bastards go
The leading man was called Tao Changshan, who was usually very cunning. He secretly glanced at Gu Xiaoxi and felt that the woman in Yuheng's family was different from before. She was a little crazy, and most importantly, she looked a little crazy. It was better for him not to provoke her.
"Li Zheng Yang, please don't misunderstand. We fell down while hunting." He said tremblingly.
Tao Chengqi wanted to refute, but Tao Changshan glared at him and made him swallow his words.
Since they didn't pursue the matter of beating people, Yang Lizheng felt that there was no need to pursue it any further. He said lightly: "As everyone knows, there are many big wild animals on our mountain and it is not safe. I hope you will not come next time to avoid causing unnecessary trouble to everyone.
Considering that this is your first offense, I will not pursue the matter this time. You can go back now!"
Upon hearing this, the old patriarch Ma was the first to jump out and ask, "Yang Lizheng, are you just going to let these bastards go?"
"People in our own village didn't get much to eat from the prey in the mountains, so they got it all for free." Patriarch Luo continued.
"The harvest is not good this year. Many people want to eat meat but can't. This won't do!" Patriarch Zhang continued.
“I saw it this time, but what about when I didn’t see it?
Who knows how many times these bastards have come here, but they were just caught by Xiaoxi this time.
If we just let them go, do you believe they will come again next time?
Or maybe those dishonest people in other villages would think Xixia Village was easy to bully.” Elder Clan Leader Gu felt that this was too perfunctory a decision.
"Old Patriarch Gu is right. We can't let them go back like this!" Old Patriarch Zhang felt that what Old Patriarch Gu said was right.
It's obvious what he said, that is, you, Yang Lizheng, were not born and raised in the village, you have no shortage of money or rice, and you don't care about these things at all. You just want to mind your own business.
Yang Lizheng couldn't help but ask, "So what are you going to do with them?"
The four clan leaders looked at each other and started to discuss.
Finally, everyone unanimously decided to send a letter to Taojia Village, asking them to come and pick up the people, and give each person two taels of silver.
After the decision was made, several people were tied up and cloth was stuffed in their mouths, leaving them no chance to speak.
The people in Taojia Village were so angry that they wanted to curse, but they were really poaching, so they could only blame their bad luck.
Tao Chengqi cursed Tao Changshan in his heart as a useless fool. If he had admitted that he was beaten by that bitch Gu Xiaoxi, these old guys at least would not ask their family for money.
But, it’s no use saying anything at this time. We can only wait for the headman to come and take them back.
Gu Xiaoxi saw it all but said nothing. Anyway, she couldn't eat the meat anymore and the money wouldn't be hers, so it was up to them to do with it as they pleased.
"Village Head, I still have to dig medicine for the patient, so I have to leave first." She bowed to Village Head Yang.
"Xiaoxi has been treating my youngest son's leg recently, so she is going to the mountain to collect herbs." The old patriarch Gu said to everyone.
"By the way, Xiaoxi saved my brother's grandson last time. My brother said that he hasn't had the chance to thank you yet." The head of the Zhang family remembered this.
"It's just a small favor, everyone. I'll leave first." Gu Xiaoxi said lightly, saluted to the clan leaders and left.
She went up the mountain again with an empty backpack. She had caught the prey and was a little tired. After going up the mountain, she hid in the space and took a nap.
She slept until the sun went down, then she took the wild boar to her uncle's house, then carried some thorn balls back home, and then returned to her uncle's house.
During the day, Gu Yuntian took a few brothers and a few good friends to the mountains to cut a lot of wood.
Gu Yuntian saw Gu An making mud bricks and called a few people to help.
At the end of the day, the mud bricks for the wall were ready, but it had not been laid yet.
After Gu Xiaoxi came over from home, she saw so many people still busy, so she shouted, "Everyone stay for dinner tonight. I brought back some meat."
Why……
Several people responded.
When Gu Xiaoxi came back, he deliberately came around from the other side and ran in carrying the pig. As it was dark, the people working did not see the wild boar. Yun Tianshen was guarding Uncle Yun Hai and did not go out either.
After entering the room, she asked Afeng to accompany her two daughters. She closed the kitchen door and took the pig to the other space to process it so that the process could be faster.
After processing the pig, clean the offal and then braise it and set it aside.
She then cut the pork and stir-fried bamboo shoots with it. It was a big pot full of sizzling and oily food, which was sure to fill the workers.
The people working outside the yard smelled the aroma of meat and worked with more energy.
After Gu Xiaoxi finished cooking, she served the food to Aunt Yuntian, Uncle Yunhai, and a few other children, brought the food to Uncle Yunhai's room, closed the door and let them eat well, then went out to call the people who were working.
"Dear uncles and brothers, come and have dinner. We will continue cooking after dinner." She shouted.
Gu An put down what he was holding and agreed, "Yes, yes, yes, let's eat first. Thank you for your hard work today."
As long as the wall is built, there will be a place to stack the wood.
Gu Yuntian also invited everyone into the yard to eat. When the villagers saw the big pieces of meat in the bowls, they all smiled.
It is normal for many families in the village to not have meat to eat for half a month or a month. This year's disaster has caused a lot of trouble, and not many people can have enough to eat.
"After eating, go to the kitchen to get more rice. There's a lot cooked in the pot. You'll be full!" Gu Xiaoxi knew that physical work couldn't be done without oil and water.
"Xiaoxi, your dish is so delicious." Gu Yunju ate it with great praise.
"Excuse me, as long as you think it tastes good." Gu Xiaoxi said with a giggle.
"You go eat too." Gu An glanced at Xiaoxi.
Gu Xiaoxi then went into the kitchen to get her own bowl of rice, and sat in the corridor with these uncles, chatting and eating.
After dinner, Gu An and his team rested for a while and continued to build the wall.
That night, they finished building the wall before going home.
After a tiring day, Gu Xiaoxi boiled some hot water for her uncle and Uncle Yuntian, so that they could take a bath, change clothes and have a good sleep.
At night, Aunt Yuntian still had to go back because she was worried about her parents-in-law. It must be said that Aunt Yuntian was an extremely filial daughter-in-law.
During the day, Gu Xiaoxi slept for a while and is now quite energetic.
"Uncle Yuntian, I took a nap on the mountain today. You go to sleep first. I'll take care of Uncle Yunhai." She said when she saw Uncle Yuntian looked tired.
Gu Yuntian was indeed very tired today, so he did not object and agreed to go to sleep first.
In fact, as long as Gu Yunhai doesn't get up at night, there will be no problem. If he does, it will be inconvenient for Xiaoxi.
After Gu Yuntian went to rest, Gu An pushed Xiaoxi out of the room: "Go to bed early, you have things to do tomorrow."
"Uncle!" Gu Xiaoxi guessed the reason why his uncle did this, but it was hard to say what to say.
It was the middle of the night, the sky was dotted with stars, and the children were all asleep, but she was not sleepy at all. She found a rocking chair in the yard and sat on it.
She casually took out the jade pendant from the space, looked at it towards the moon, and accidentally saw some words engraved inside the jade pendant.
