On the first day of moving, the Gu family mother and her two daughters received a powerful weapon and, thinking about their wonderful future, slept soundly.
The family was still thinking that Cai Xiaolian would be the first to use this medicine powder, since she went out a lot.
Unexpectedly, Gu Xin was the first to use this medicine powder.
...
After moving, the family started preparing to sell New Year's goods.
They plan to sell from the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month to the twenty-ninth day, which should be a good ten days or so, and they should be able to make a lot of money.
Every day at dawn, Cai Xiaolian and Gu Shouxin would drive an oxcart with their goods to the county town.
After being advised by Grandma Gu, Uncle Gu also used his savings to buy some things from Gu Nian, and then he carried them to Zhoujia Town to sell.
Uncle Gu originally wanted to resell things this way, but because Master Yang had a lot of work piled up due to Cai Xiaolian's various designs, Uncle Gu had no choice but to go work for Master Yang instead.
On the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Uncle Gu had been away from *** for three days. He had returned earlier the previous two days, just past noon. Gu Nian was running out of fresh goods, so he went up the mountain to get some firewood.
Gu Xin and Gu Si stayed in the kitchen every day, so Gu Nian let the two little girls go out for a stroll and go up the mountain with their uncle.
The two little girls followed along, carrying their little bamboo baskets on their backs.
"You two shouldn't go any deeper. It's the dead of winter, and the wild animals in the mountains have nothing to eat. Don't go looking for food!" Uncle Gu warned the two girls as soon as they got into the mountains.
"Oh!" the two obediently replied, picking up some small twigs and withered leaves not far from Uncle Gu.
They filled a small basket, carried it back, and then ran back into the woods after emptying it.
"I always feel that you two aren't as smart as your older sister! How much can this little basket hold? Running around like this isn't tiring at all, is it? Go play by yourselves on the side, or go back to the yard to play!" Uncle Gu said, somewhat speechlessly, watching the two sisters run back and forth three times, their faces turning red.
"Uncle, we're not tired. This is sweet soup, it's warm. I brought a new gourd to put it in, please drink it!" Gu Xin handed the water to Uncle Gu.
Uncle Gu wiped his sweat, tilted his head back and gulped down the gourd in one go, then handed it back to Gu Xin: "My daughter is the best! Look at Enzi and Renzi, they have no idea how hard their father works. One of them just plays around, and the other just cries! Sigh!"
Gu Si: "Dad, it's only been two months. If he doesn't cry, what do you need him for?"
Uncle Gu: "...You can laugh, hahaha...Go play, don't keep me from chopping wood!"
Gu Xin grabbed Gu Si and ran away.
She thought of the little waterfall in the woods. She hadn't been there in a long time since she met Xiaoyu, and she suddenly wanted to go there.
The small waterfall wasn't far from where Uncle Gu chopped firewood, so the two sisters went there.
However, as soon as they reached the edge of the small pond, they discovered a large creature drinking water on the bank. Hearing the noise, the large creature turned its head.
"Ah!" The two screamed in fright and fell to the ground. Wasn't that the big cat that the villagers had described drinking water by the water?
The little girl was so scared that she didn't even know how to run away.
Upon hearing the shouts, Uncle Gu ran over without a second thought.
"Sisi, it's coming, it's coming!" Gu Xin trembled with fear.
"Sister Xinxin, are we just rushing here to become food?" Gu Sidu cried.
The big cat stared at Gu Xin and walked in step by step. It didn't pounce like a tiger, but just walked slowly towards her.
