Gu Jingsheng was the first to react, and angrily got up and walked outside.
As soon as I went outside, I saw Niu Cuihua squatting on the eaves, grinning foolishly.
Gu Jingsheng was furious, but there was nowhere to vent his anger.
He raised his foot and kicked Niu Cuihua, who fell to the ground and cried loudly.
Gu Jingsheng became increasingly irritated as he listened, and he exerted even more force in his feet.
Gu Shuwen lay on the bed with empty eyes, staring at the floor, seemingly oblivious to the crying and commotion outside.
At this moment, his heart was already as still as water.
This morning, Niu Dadan came to his house to see him and said that his bones had been broken and he would never be able to stand up again in his life.
That means that any career path is no longer relevant to him.
Even when he heard that Gu Chuan had been killed by a tiger on the mountain, he was not greatly disturbed.
He was completely overwhelmed by the blow of feeling like he had become a useless person.
Niu Cuihua's screams continued for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea before finally stopping.
......
After finishing their meal, Gu Lili and her brother went to sleep.
Gu Huanhuan lay down with her back to Gu Lili. In the dim moonlight, Gu Lili could see that Gu Huanhuan's shoulders were trembling.
Gu Lili quickly stood up and asked, "Huanhuan, does your foot hurt?"
Hearing Gu Lili's gentle voice, Gu Huanhuan could no longer control her emotions and threw herself into Gu Lili's arms, crying.
Even though Gu Huanhuan is only nine years old, she already understands the difference between men and women.
I was humiliated by Zhang Qiang today, and thinking back on it now, I feel both shocked and frightened.
Gu Lili knew what Gu Huanhuan was thinking, so she gently patted Gu Huanhuan's shoulder, letting Gu Huanhuan vent her emotions in her arms.
Gu Lili only spoke to comfort Gu Huanhuan when her sobs gradually subsided.
"Huanhuan, don't overthink things, okay? When others hurt us, it's their fault, it has nothing to do with us. They're bad people, that's why they did those things. Don't punish yourself for other people's mistakes, understand?"
Feeling Gu Huanhuan nod in her arms, Gu Lili continued.
"I think you were very brave today. Look, before, when Gu Jingsheng and the others bullied us, you didn't dare to say a word. But today you bravely fought back! That's great! I can't stop others from hurting you, but I want to tell you a lesson today: when you encounter someone who hurts you, you must bravely fight back!"
Gu Lili paused, then continued, "However, whether to retaliate depends on the situation. If the other side has more people, you must run first and then find an opportunity to settle the score later. A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle, right?"
"Yes, sister, I understand!" Gu Huanhuan nodded seriously.
Gu Lili patted Gu Huanhuan's back, coaxing her to sleep.
Hearing Gu Huanhuan's even breathing, Gu Lili couldn't fall asleep no matter what.
She simply summoned the system and began studying it page by page.
She scrolled through the pages and suddenly noticed a line of small text in the upper right corner of the system.
Upon closer inspection, Gu Lili realized that the system could be upgraded to allow users to purchase more advanced items.
However, what exactly this more advanced thing is remains unknown.
This system has even started to maintain secrecy.
However, when Gu Lili saw the cost of the system upgrade, she couldn't help but look up to the sky and howl.
It actually costs a thousand taels! Even if I made maltose all by myself, I still wouldn't be able to save up that much.
It seems I need to go to the beach more often in the future. If I find a rare item, I can earn money to upgrade my system.
Thinking this, Gu Lili gradually drifted off to sleep.
The next day, just as dawn was breaking, Gu Lili got up.
She first gave the chili water to Gu Huanhuan and taught her how to use it.
This woke up Gu Erniu and Gu Sigou. After a period of dietary supplementation, the two were no longer as pale and thin as when they first met.
Both of them knew why Gu Lili woke them up – it was for exercise.
Gu Lili took out the sandbags she had prepared beforehand and tied them to her legs.
Although the two brothers didn't know what Gu Lili meant by doing this, seeing the extra sandbags on the ground, they both followed Gu Lili's example and tied them up.
Gu Lili smiled contentedly, "We did weighted running this morning."
Weighted running can improve muscle strength and promote bone health.
The sandbags that Gu Lili prepared were not very heavy, and were within the range that the three of them could easily handle.
After thinking about it, Gu Lili realized that if they encountered danger, it would most likely be best to run away first.
Generally, the only people who would do harm to them are those older than them.
In a head-on confrontation, their chances of winning are slim.
To avoid being taken advantage of, running away is the best option. Although it may seem cowardly, what does face matter when it comes to one's life?
If she had a martial arts manual or something, she wouldn't need to be afraid of anything.
As Gu Lili thought about this, she led the two brothers towards the sea, carrying a bucket in her hand.
Gu Lili had planned out her exercise route. Every morning she would run eastward, making it a round trip.
You can also go to the beach every day to see if there are any seafood items.
That's killing two birds with one stone.
Thinking this, Gu Lili took the lead and ran forward.
They arrived at the seaside in less than half an hour. Because they were used to doing farm work, the three of them didn't feel too tired.
"Erniu, Sigou, let's go down to the beach and see if we can find any seafood?" Gu Lili had been itching to go beachcombing for a long time.
Gu Erniu and Gu Sigou were also itching to try it; the seafood porridge they had last time was so delicious.
The three of them discussed it and then headed to the beach.
The sun had just risen in the east, and it was absolutely beautiful.
All three were stunned by the sight before them, especially Gu Erniu and Gu Sigou.
It seems that they have never really seen this beautiful scenery before, from childhood to adulthood.
After I learned to work, I had to work in the fields every day.
Even though they can't get enough to eat, they are indeed content to enjoy the scenery in this leisurely way.
The three of them watched for a while, then went to find seafood.
Gu Lili wanted to secretly sell more seafood to upgrade her system as soon as possible, so she deliberately separated from the two of them to search.
Because it wasn't high tide, there wasn't much seafood on the beach.
It's mostly clams and the like.
Gu Lili couldn't help but sigh inwardly; it seemed that upgrading the system was a long and arduous task.
There were plenty of clams, and Gu Lili quickly sold fifteen coins' worth.
If there aren't any big ones, just focus on collecting clams.
This is practically a risk-free business; all you need is a good eye.
"Sister, look! What's this?" Gu Sigou shouted!
Gu Lili quickly ran over to see what it was.
