"Dad, Mom went out to do some work. She didn't take me or Dahuang with her." Gou Wa said anxiously.
He was really worried about Shen Qingli. His mother was delicate and weak. What would he do if something really happened to her?
Late in the night, when Gou Wa thought of Shen Qingli being alone, he couldn't help but think that she was in danger. He couldn't sleep at all. After coaxing Niu Niu to sleep, he waited in the yard.
Zhou Yubai frowned. He opened the door, and with Gu Qichuan, moved the things outside into the yard.
The two of them were lucky and caught a dozen rabbits, a dozen pheasants, and a wild boar.
Gou Wa was looking at a pile of prey. His mood, which should have been joyful, turned gloomy because Shen Qingli didn't come back.

"What's wrong with Ah Li? Where did she go?" Gu Qichuan asked as soon as he entered the door.
Gou Wa shook his head, "Mom didn't say anything. She said she knew her limits and told me not to worry."
"I'll go out and take a look. You boil some water to deal with these things first." Zhou Yubai said as he walked out.
"I'll go with you. I'm not in the mood to deal with these things until Ali comes back. Ruirui, can you boil some water?" said Gu Qichuan. He was even more worried than Zhou Yubai.
Although Zhou Yubai had not seen Shen Qingli's abilities with his own eyes, they had been together for a long time and he knew that Shen Qingli had changed.
However, Gu Qichuan's impression of Shen Qingli still remains from the time they were together.
Although Shen Qingli appears gentle on the outside but strong on the inside, she is indeed just a delicate and weak little girl who is afraid of the dark. What could have happened in the middle of the night that would make her insist on doing it right now?
Canβt we wait for them to come back and let Zhou Yubai or myself go with them?
"Uncle, I can. You guys go find mom quickly." Gou Wa said hurriedly.
"good."
Zhou Yubai and Gu Qichuan went out together.
After the two people went out, they didn't know where to go. They walked towards the village for a while.
Zhou Yubai suggested, "Let's search separately and then meet up here."
Just as Gu Qichuan nodded, he saw someone walking towards him. It was Shen Qingli.
"Kiyori."
"Ari."
Shen Qingli was startled. "You two suddenly showed up in the middle of the night. Did you scare me to death?"
Shen Qingli patted her chest.
"You still feel scared. What are you doing so late at night?" Gu Qichuan scolded unkindly.
Shen Qingli pursed her lips and blinked her beautiful eyes, looking mischievous.
Gu Qichuan seemed to have returned to his childhood and his voice paused.
"I'm not trying to hurt you, so don't pretend to cry."
"I'm not pretending to cry. I'm really crying." Shen Qingli snorted at Gu Qichuan proudly, as if it was an honor to be able to cry, and then hugged Zhou Yubai's arm.
"I'm sorry to have caused you worry."
Zhou Yubai held Shen Qingli's hand tightly and pursed his lips. Although he couldn't be fierce to his wife, he really wanted to know what she was doing.
Shen Qingli did not keep the secret and told him how she rescued Qin Zhi today and delivered meals to him in the evening, including that she would go to repair their house tomorrow.
"Those people really... have a hard time." Zhou Yubai spoke first after a while.
His wife is so brave that she can scare people to death, but he always supports her and is willing to do so even if there are risks.
"Mr. Qin and Mr. Zhuang are both outstanding revolutionary predecessors. When I came out, I heard that someone was running their business, but I didn't know if it would work," said Gu Qichuan.
The Gu family has a wide network of contacts, so it's no surprise that Gu Qichuan knows anything.
"I also felt that it was not easy for them, bleeding and crying. I couldn't bear to watch it, so I took the initiative to help." Shen Qingli said in a low voice.
"Then you dare to go to the cowshed alone in the middle of the night. What if you meet a bad guy? What if you meet someone's wolfdog? Do you think they are all Xiao Hei and Da Huang and will listen to you?" Gu Qichuan couldn't help but said a few more fierce words.
Shen Qingli lowered her head with an expression that said, "Okay, okay, just say whatever you want to say. I can't resist anyway."
Zhou Yubai looked at his wife lovingly, "Next time, I'll go with you. We're worried about you going alone. When we went back, Ruirui was walking around the yard, and he was worried about you too."
"Okay, I get it. I was not thoughtful enough this time and made you worry." Shen Qingli admitted her mistake sincerely.
Gu Qichuan was so angry that he couldn't vent it.
"Let's go back first. Zhou Yubai and I have killed a wild boar, as well as a lot of rabbits and pheasants. We have to process them overnight. They will be useful when we build a house and provide meals in two days."
"The people from the brick factory sent a letter saying that they would have to wait two days to deliver the bricks. They finally arrived four days later," Zhou Yubai said.
"These two days won't make a difference, so we can just prepare more." Shen Qingli responded with a smile.
The three of them walked and talked as they returned to the courtyard.
Looking at the yard full of prey, Shen Qingli gave a thumbs up.
"When you two were together, your luck was incredible. It's only been a short time, and you've killed so many prey."
Zhou Yubai and Gu Qichuan looked at each other and separated immediately. They would not tell Shen Qingli that they would start the competition as soon as they entered the mountain...
When Gou Wa heard the voice and saw Shen Qingli, his heart finally settled down and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ruirui, I'm sorry for making you worry." Shen Qingli looked at Gou Wa and said seriously.
"Mom, you don't have to apologize." Gou Wa said hurriedly. The boy was a little flustered. Shen Qingli respected him too much... This feeling is indescribable. He just felt his chest was bloated and warm.
"It's already very late, Ruirui, go back to your room and go to sleep first." Shen Qingli rubbed Gou Wa's head.
Gou Wa nodded obediently and went back to his room to sleep.
Watching the wild boars, rabbits and pheasants in the yard.
Shen Qingli thought for a moment.
"Let's smoke the pheasants and rabbits. We'll make a small portion of the wild boar into bacon and the other half into jar meat. We'll save the ribs, offal, and some of the fresh meat for eating directly."
"Okay." Zhou Yubai and Gu Qichuan had no objection.
The three of them began to get busy.
It took boiling pot after pot of hot water to pluck all the hair from the prey.
In the meantime, Shen Qingli and Zhou Yubai went to the foot of the mountain to get some cypress branches for smoking and roasting.
Originally, Shen Qingli suggested that she take Dahuang and Xiaohei with her, but Zhou Yubai and Gu Qichuan disagreed. In the end, Zhou Yubai accompanied Shen Qingli while Gu Qichuan continued to pluck the hair.
Shen Qingli prepared the fire for smoking the meat, and the three of them put the processed ingredients on it together.
There was no need to keep watching the smoked meat. Shen Qingli asked Gu Qichuan to go to bed first and asked him to ask for leave for Zhou Yubai tomorrow morning. It just so happened that Zhou Yubai could accompany her to repair the house for Zhuang Mu and Qin Zhixiu.
Gu Qichuan didn't hesitate and went back to his room to sleep.
He didnβt know if it was because he drank the water Shen Qingli made for him, or because the environment had improved a lot after moving, but he no longer had insomnia. He tidied himself up and fell asleep immediately.
Zhou Yubai and Shen Qingli were the only ones left in the kitchen.
Shen Qingli first cut the pork into cubes, then threw a portion of it into the pot to boil the oil, and asked Zhou Yubai to continue cutting.
The two worked until the early morning before they finally finished cooking the meat in a jar. Cooking the meat in a jar not only prevents the meat from going bad, but also gives it a unique flavor.
After sealing the altar, the two went to check on the smoked meat, which was ready. They moved it all to the cellar, then washed up and went to bed.
The next morning...
