Yu Shan hadn't expected this choice at all. He looked at Gu Che with great confusion and kindly suggested, "How about choosing the house next to Gu Bin's? You can build another house there."
Gu Che shook his head. "Let's go to the end of the village. I prefer quiet places."
After hearing this, Yu Shan couldn't offer any more advice. After all, Gu Bin wasn't exactly a quiet person; living next door to them, it was difficult for him to find peace and quiet.
Xie Yan never imagined that one day she would be cuckolded!
The story begins with Gu Che wanting to build a house.
Because the weather is too cold to build houses now, Yu Shan suggested waiting a couple of days until the snow melts before cutting down the wood.
After a winter, by the time it was time to build the house, the wood had dried out quite a bit.
Gu Che thought about it and agreed. "Uncle Yu, which mountain should we go to cut the wood from?"
Yu Shan: "?"
He looked at Gu Che uncertainly, "You want to go and chop it yourself?"
Gu Che nodded as a matter of course, and then asked, "Uncle Yu, where do you think the wood I identified should be placed? Is it at the educated youth settlement or where I'm building the house now?"
Yu Shan thought for a moment and said, "You can leave the educated youth at the settlement first, and move them over when the work is almost done and it's time to build houses."
There are fewer people there, so there will always be some shrewd individuals who will sneak over and take it.
"As for cutting down trees?" Yu Shan looked at the map and pointed to a mountain path. "Right here, Fangbian Mountain. There are a lot of locust trees on this mountain. I'll arrange for someone to take you there to cut them down."
Gu Che glanced at it, nodded, and handed the money directly to Yu Shan. He had already consulted with Gu Bin and knew how much it would cost to sell the trees.
Seeing that he was about to leave, Yu Shan quickly handed him the cigarettes he had brought, saying, "Take them back, kid. These are such good cigarettes; you never know when you might need them."
Gu Che shook his head and forcefully shoved the cigarette into Yu Shan's hand. "This is for you, Uncle. From now on, I'm part of our Xiliu Village. I'll be asking for your help a lot in the future."
"You can keep this cigarette. I don't smoke, so it's no use for me to have it!"
After saying that, he stuffed it directly into Yu Shan's pocket and ran away quickly.
After Gu Che left, Yu Shan secretly stretched his arms and sighed, "I'm getting old. My arms are practically falling apart after being pushed by that young guy."
Then I secretly took out a cigarette, looked at it a few times, and really liked it more and more. I couldn't help but hold it to my nose and smell it. It smelled so good!
Gu Che returned to the educated youth settlement, changed his clothes, and went up the mountain.
Now, heavy snow has blocked the mountains, and the forests are silent. The biting cold wind has stopped people from climbing the mountain, and the whole mountain seems to be shrouded in a barrier of nature.
Looking around, Gu Che saw only the tiny footprints of a rabbit and the neatly arranged claw marks of a pheasant on the vast snowfield; there were no other signs of animal activity.
However, this actually provided Gu Che with a convenient opportunity.
He followed the footprints, the snow beneath his feet was thick, and the animals were not always on the trails; one wrong step could send him sliding down the hillside. Even so, he remained steady and his steps were firm, without the slightest stumble.
These obstacles seemed to him as if they didn't exist, and he walked as if on flat ground.
Following the footprints, Gu Che walked to a crossroads and stopped there. He looked at the footprints in front of him and realized that the person had come up the mountain from the other side.
It was completely unexpected that people would still come up the mountain at this time. He had observed before that the villagers were all ordinary people and should not be here in the first place.
But the footprints also indicate that someone did indeed go up the mountain.
You can tell from the footprints that this is an experienced person; they walk very steadily.
Curiosity drove Gu Che to follow the footprints, even though they were completely contrary to his purpose of climbing the mountain.
I absolutely have to learn about this special person.
After all, this is where he will be living for a long time to come, so it's important to learn more about it.
His original plan was to go up the mountain today to catch a chicken and roast it. The food at the educated youth settlement was really bad, but that wasn't the main problem. The main problem was that he wasn't getting enough to eat!
Of course, we should also take the opportunity to investigate the activity patterns and numbers of wild animals in this area.
He had observed before that this mountain was the most suitable place for prey to live in the surrounding area. It was large, with lush trees, and connected to the mountains behind it, so there was definitely plenty of prey.
He originally intended to have a good meal, but unexpectedly encountered other people. Regardless of whether these people were hunting in the mountains, it was worthwhile for him to go and investigate them.
After following the footprints for a while, Gu Che gradually saw more wild animal footprints, including some small ones and many large ones.
Gu Che was finding this increasingly interesting.
I followed the footprints until I was deep in the mountains, and then I heard a sound coming from ahead.
The rustling sound sounded like something being dragged.
When Gu Che finally saw Yu Yuehui, he was stunned.
He was being very careful and didn't make a sound, but Yu Yuehui noticed him the moment he appeared and looked over very warily.
Upon seeing that it was Gu Che, Yu Yuehui's expression remained unchanged, but she was very shocked inside. You must know that the mountains are now blocked by heavy snow, and almost no one will go up the mountain.
Moreover, the person in front of them was a complete stranger and definitely not from their village.
Therefore, there is only one possibility: the person in front is an educated youth sent to the countryside.
After a few seconds of eye contact, Gu Che nodded and greeted her first. The moment he saw Yu Yuehui, he was struck by her talent.
Even though I don't know who the girl in front of me is, she is a very promising talent.
Therefore, he was very friendly towards Yuehui.
Yu Yuehui also noticed the other party's friendliness, and with a sense of ownership, she asked Gu Che, "Did you come up the mountain to find wild game?"
After saying that, she picked it up and pointed to the pheasant at her feet, "If you're hungry, you can take one to eat first."
With Xie Yan and Gu Bin as examples, the educated youth in the settlement were already feeling like they were starving and not eating well.
So she subconsciously assumed that Gu Che had come up the mountain because he was hungry or craving food.
But the snow-capped mountains in winter are even more dangerous. Even if Gu Che is capable, this is still an unfamiliar place, and she hopes that he will not rush to take risks.
After you've eaten your fill, hurry back home.
Gu Che smiled, gently placed his finger to his lips, signaling Yu Yue to be quiet, and then broke off a branch without making a sound.
Then, with a casual toss, a pheasant's urgent, pitiful cry came from the other side.
Only after the sounds stopped did Gu Che slowly go over, and soon returned with a pheasant that was still dripping blood.
