Chapter 44 I am Su Xiangwan's husband
Gu Yanxiao completely ignored Hou San's desperate pleas for help.
He grabbed the machete and slashed at the wild boar.
The wild boar never expected that this weak human, whom it had always considered prey, would one day dare to attack it.
Caught off guard and unable to dodge, Gu Yanxiao slashed his hind leg.
"roar!"
The wild boar, gripped by pain, went berserk, releasing Hou San's leg and charging towards Gu Yanxiao.
Gu Yanxiao skillfully used the surrounding trees for cover to avoid the wild boar's attack.
Despite its tall stature, it moved with the agility of a monkey, climbing and dodging between the trees.
Every now and then, it would hit the wild boar.
Hou San stared in disbelief at Gu Yanxiao, who was skillfully maneuvering the wild boar. He had never imagined that someone could be so skilled as to take on a wild boar single-handedly.
If Gu Yanxiao's former comrades knew this, they would probably scoff and say: "Wild boar? That would be a terrifying thing for ordinary people, but for our Commander Gu, it's just a dish to go with drinks."
At this moment, if Hou San hadn't already had his leg bitten off by the wild boar, he would have already fled in terror.
He lay trembling on the ground, watching in horror as the wild boar, which he had feared so much, was transformed from an invincible and ferocious beast into a creature that turned tail and fled after Gu Yanxiao's repeated attacks.
"They...they ran away?"
Watching the wild boar dart into the dense forest, Hou San almost wondered if he had already been killed by the boar and that this was just a hallucination.
Is it possible for someone to single-handedly drive away a wild boar?
"Ouch! My leg, my hero, please save me, please, save me..."
Only after his nerves relaxed did Hou San realize the excruciating pain coming from his broken leg.
Clutching his broken leg, he begged Gu Yanxiao for help.
"No need to beg, I'm here to save you."
Gu Yanxiao casually tucked the wood-chopping knife into his waistband and walked towards Hou San.
Hearing this, Hou San was overjoyed and asked in surprise, "You... how did you know I was here? Did my mother send you?"
Gu Yanxiao looked down at Hou San and said, "No."
Who is Hou San's mother? I don't know her!
"Well... I guess I was just lucky to run into you while you were chopping wood on the mountain." Hou San breathed a sigh of relief.
"hehe……"
Gu Yanxiao sneered and picked him up like a chick.
"It's not that you're lucky, I came here specifically to find you. Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Gu Yanxiao, and I'm Su Xiangwan's husband."
Hou Sancai's half-relief was stuck in his throat, neither going up nor down, almost making him faint.
His eyes widened in shock: "You, you, you... what did you say?"
Whose husband did this hero, who single-handedly fought the wild boar, claim to be? Who?
"I am Gu Yanxiao, the husband of Su Xiangwan that you just said you wouldn't let go!"
"Well……"
Hou San, who had just had his leg bitten off by a wild boar but managed to stay upright, suddenly convulsed and fainted from fright.
Gu Yanxiao looked coldly at Hou San, who had fainted in his hands, snorted, and dragged him down the mountain.
By the time Gu Yanxiao returned to the fields to work, it was already past 2 p.m.
However, the land allocated to the Gu family this time was on the very edge, with vegetation providing cover. In addition, everyone was busy harvesting during the busy farming season, so it did not attract the attention of others.
Su Xiangwan was unaware that Gu Yanxiao had already gone to clean up the mess for her.
After Gu's parents and Gu Yanfei went to work, she began to worry about what to do with the large Ganoderma lucidum in her space.
After all, these medicinal herbs need to be professionally processed; if they are not processed properly, most of their medicinal properties will be lost.
Therefore, we still need to find an opportunity to sell this large Ganoderma lucidum.
Or, I'll discuss it with Gu Yanxiao tonight and ask him to accompany me to town in a few days. Judging by the time, the package sent from Beijing should arrive soon.
However, in the evening, just after the Gu family finished their dinner, they heard a commotion starting at the educated youth settlement.
I initially thought it was just Liu Heping's family arguing again.
But the voices didn't sound like Chen Zhaodi and her son.
However, the Gu family didn't pay any attention to it. After all, everyone had worked all day and just wanted to wash up and go to bed early.
As usual, Gu Yanxiao brought Su Xiangwan water to wash her feet. Just as he was helping her wash her feet, someone knocked on the courtyard gate.
"I'll go take a look."
After drying Su Xiangwan's feet, Gu Yanxiao reminded her, "Leave the water there, I'll pour it out later."
"Okay." Su Xiangwan nodded obediently and urged him to open the door.
Gu Yanxiao didn't delay. The person outside seemed to be in a hurry and was already knocking on the door: "Gu Zhiqing! Gu Zhiqing, open the door quickly!"
"What is it?" Gu Yanxiao opened the door and recognized the person knocking as Tong Aiguo, the son of Party Secretary Tong.
“Gu Zhiqing, Xie Manman, a Zhiqing, is missing. Let’s all look for her!” Tong Aiguo didn’t really want to get involved in the affairs of the Zhiqing settlement.
However, his father is the village party secretary, so if anything happens to the educated youth, he will be held responsible.
Just now, during dinner, Yang Junqing and Xu Yirou approached his father and told him that Xie Manman had gone to town to see a doctor and hadn't returned.
Tong Liqun could only ask his son to inquire about Xie Manman's matter with Tong Deliang.
Upon inquiry, it was discovered that Xie Manman had not gone to town at all. Her claims of feeling unwell and needing to see a doctor were all lies.
Although Yang Junqing and Xu Yirou were angry, finding the person was the most important thing now that he had disappeared.
Finding someone so late at night is no easy task, so Tong Liqun had to ask everyone in the village for help.
This led to the incident where Tong Aiguo knocked on the Gu family's courtyard door.
After hearing Tong Aiguo's words, Gu Yanxiao was also surprised that Xie Manman had not returned, but he nodded calmly and said, "I'll tell my family and then go with you to look for her."
"Okay, then I'll wait for you, Gu Zhiqing."
Although Tong Aiguo had not yet met Gu Yanxiao, his father had said that the Gu family members were all capable people, and if he could befriend them, he should try not to offend them.
Now, after getting to know Gu Yanxiao, Tong Aiguo also felt that the man in front of him gave him a great sense of security at first glance.
It's like the kind of person described in books, someone who wouldn't flinch even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of them!
If they were educated youth from Bakushu Village, they would all be like the Gu family.
Then his father wouldn't have to worry so much.
Unfortunately, the educated youth in the settlements were simply indescribable.
No wonder Gu, the educated youth, couldn't wait to rent a house and move out as soon as he arrived in Bakushu Village.
They wouldn't even share a well with them, clearly afraid of getting involved in their troubles.
