Chapter 11 Gao Ren and the Little Fool
Gao Mingcheng sat on a bamboo chair and gulped down a large bowl of tea.
He had eaten a bowl of porridge at Gao Zhuang's house in the morning and was indeed thirsty now.
After finishing his tea, Gao Mingcheng got straight to the point and said, "Uncle, I got some prey and wanted to sell it for some money. I thought you like to eat it, so I came here to ask you."
Gao Mingcheng held up the prey, showed it off, and said proudly, "It's still alive."
Gao Shouwang's eyes fell on the pheasant and rabbit. Without hesitation, he said, "I'm just craving for some game. I'll take these two from you!"
"Feixia, go into the house to get the scale and money!" Gao Shouwang ordered his wife. His wife did not say a word and quickly went to get the scale from home.
Nowadays, the price of pork fluctuates between one dollar and one dollar. Eighty cents, and the price of fish is half that, at 80 or 90 cents. The specific price depends on the size and variety.
As for pheasants and rabbits, they were popular in the past life and their prices were higher than pork. But now they are not popular among the country people. Because the meat has no oil, the price is naturally not high, and is roughly the same as the price of meat.
Dong Feixia weighed the pheasant and the rabbit together, and the total weight was only 5.8 jin.
Based on the price of one dollar and eight cents per pound, Gao Mingcheng earned ten dollars and forty cents.
Gao Shouwang did not bargain, and Gao Mingcheng did not want to make more money, so he took the initiative to round off the price and said with a smile: "Uncle, just give me ten yuan."
Gao Shouwang didn't pretend to be polite and said with a smile: "Okay, uncle hasn't eaten spicy rabbit for a long time, so ask your aunt to prepare it tonight, and you can come and have a drink with uncle!"
Gao Mingcheng was stunned for a few seconds. He didn't expect that after he sold the prey to Gao Shouwang, Gao Shouwang would invite him to his house in the evening to drink and eat meat.
But there was a reason why Gao Shouwang was so polite to him.
Half a year ago, when Gao Shouwang went to the county town to buy something, perhaps because he showed off his wealth, he was targeted by someone. On his way back to the village, he was surrounded and beaten by a group of people, who also tried to rob him of his things and money.
At that time, Gao Mingcheng and a few friends happened to pass by and saw that the person being beaten was from their own village, so they rushed over on the spot and not only rescued Gao Shouwang, but also recovered the things and money that those people had stolen.
For this, Gao Shouwang was very grateful to him.
Even so, he and Gao Shouwang did not have much friendship in his previous life. The main reason was that for him, fighting was commonplace, and fights for loyalty were countless.
So after the incident, he didn't take it to heart.
Afterwards, he got involved in tomb robbing and went south to venture out, so naturally he had no friendship with Gao Shouwang.
But at this time, he thought of Gao Shouwang's two sons and instinctively decided to establish a good relationship with Gao Shouwang.
Gao Shouwang has two sons and a daughter. His daughter has married into the neighboring Dongjia Village, while his two sons have joined the army. At that time, there was no news and everyone thought that Gao Shouwang’s two sons were just ordinary soldiers. But ten years later, the villagers found out that Gao Shouwang’s two sons had both won second-class merit and became officers!
In this life, Gao Mingcheng just wants to stay in the small mountain village and live a life with his wife and children.
However, this did not affect his good relationship with Gao Shouwang.
"Okay, then I'll accompany my uncle for a few drinks tonight!" Gao Mingcheng agreed generously.
Gao Shouwang was smiling happily. He liked to drink, but his two sons were not around, his wife did not drink, and he did not get along well with many other relatives.
Ever since being rescued by Gao Mingcheng, Gao Shouwang has been particularly fond of Gao Mingcheng.
In the past, he thought Gao Mingcheng was like a gangster, hanging out outside every day and not doing his job.
But later, he knew that Gao Mingcheng was an extremely loyal person. He had actually helped many people in the village. What was rare was that he never used these to blackmail others or to gain benefits.
He helps others out of his passion.
As a result, both of them wanted to build a good relationship with each other, and the atmosphere was surprisingly harmonious.
After saying a few more words, Gao Mingcheng said goodbye and left.
With money in his pocket, Gao Mingcheng's back straightened a little.
The natural environment has not been destroyed at this time, and there are many kinds of animals in the mountains. There are pheasants and rabbits in the hills. If you go into the deep mountains, you can also hunt wild boars and deer.
Having tasted the sweetness, Gao Mingcheng planned to set up more traps so that he could eat the prey he caught, even if he didn't sell it.
He walked along the village path towards Xiaoyuan Mountain.
That is the ancestral grave site of the villagers. Usually few people go there, but only during the Qingming Festival every year, when there are many people.
But precisely because few people go there, there is lush vegetation, and there are many pheasants, rabbits and other animals. Of course, the most numerous are weasels.
Gao Mingcheng planned to set a trap there, but he didn't expect to meet a man and a woman as soon as he entered the mountain.
The man was none other than Aunt Huang's son Gao Ren.
Although his name was Ren, he was a very cruel person. His previous wife was beaten by him because she gave birth to two daughters and no son. In the end, she was beaten to death.
Just yesterday, Aunt Huang found Xuanyuemei and wanted her to marry her son Gao Ren.
Although Aunt Huang was beaten out with a broom by many girls, Gao Mingcheng still wanted to teach them and their son a lesson.
Now seeing Gao Ren in the mountain, Gao Mingcheng did not show up immediately, but hid behind a cluster of bamboo leaves, intending to see the situation clearly first.
Gao Ren was holding a pack of biscuits in his hand, with a greasy and disgusting smile on his face, and his voice was full of malice: "Little fool, take off your pants and lie down there, and I will give you this pack of biscuits to eat."
"This cookie has sesame seeds in it. It smells really good. If you don't believe me, try it."
Gao Ren took out a piece of biscuit, flicked it in front of the little fool, and finally put it into his mouth, deliberately making a loud chewing sound.
The little fool was drooling at the smell of the biscuits and reached out to grab them anxiously.
Gao Ren showed a smug smile and repeated: "Take off your pants and I'll give it to you to eat."
The little fool hesitated for a moment, and finally, under the temptation of the biscuits, she decided to take off her pants. She pulled the patched black pants down to her knees, revealing two slender legs.
The little fool is only twelve years old this year, and due to malnutrition, he is very thin.
Her mother is a mute and her father has a hereditary mental illness. Although she is normal in every aspect, she is a little mentally handicapped, so the villagers don't call her by her name, but call her a little fool.
The little fool had never been to school and his family was poor. Gao Ren brought him to Xiaoyuan Mountain and tricked him into taking off his pants with a packet of biscuits.
Seeing Gao Ren's disgusting smile, Gao Mingcheng knew what Gao Ren was planning.
A surge of blood rushed to his head, and Gao Mingcheng wished he could humanely destroy Gao Ren!
He didn't know whether this happened in his previous life.
But now that he has met him in this life, if he lets Gao Ren succeed, then he will no longer be named Gao!
