With a thud, Gu Weiqiang put down the bucket full of water in his hand. The freezing cold water in the bucket splashed on Wang Daying. He sneered, "Do we know each other?" She was really shameless. Yesterday she was still mean to his daughter, but today she asked him to help her fetch water as if nothing had happened.
Did she really think he was the fool who only cared about the good of his family? ? ?
After saying that, he turned around and greeted Wang Daying, who was angry and had a sullen face, "Uncle and aunt, my children are waiting for me to go back and cook! I'll leave first."
As for Wang Daying, who is she?
Gu Weiqiang, who was already uncomfortable with Wang Daying's annoying thing, heard the movement inside as soon as he walked to the door.
His expression softened, and he filled the water tank with two full buckets of water.
He looked at the pumpkin porridge cooking in the pot, and took out more than ten pickled salted eggs from his pocket. He borrowed these salted eggs from Huazi's house. The eggs in the countryside were not suitable for storage, so he used a coarse porcelain pot to mix them with the wood ash in the stove and sprinkled some coarse salt. The eggs would be fine even if they were stored for half a year.
Moreover, after a long time, the salt taste would seep into the water, and the salted eggs cooked out would have golden yolks and be extremely fragrant.
Gu Weiqiang washed the eggs directly with water, threw them into the pot, added a handful of firewood, and the stove instantly became hot. When the fire burned out, the salted eggs could be cooked.
At the same time, half a pot of hot water was warmed in the small pot.
After cleaning up, he shook off the coldness on his body, then went into the west room and called the two children on the kang.
To be honest, this was the treatment that the original Gu Anan had never had since he could remember. He could sleep on the kang with his butt sticking up until eight or nine o'clock. The meals on the stove in the kitchen were ready, and the elders would bring them to the kang to eat. But Anan
, when she was at home, Gu's father and mother often loved her so much.
So she didn't notice anything unusual. The little kid next to her pulled Gu Weiqiang's clothes, looked at the pumpkin porridge and salted eggs on the table, and sighed, "Dad, can you stay at home every day? My sister and I can be so beautiful every day."
Gu Weiqiang deliberately frowned, "That won't work. Dad has to make money to support you." Then he turned to look at An An, "There is hot water in the pot. Take your brother to wash his face first. I'll serve the rice. After we finish eating, I'll ask the rich uncle who lives in the front to come over and help us fix the heated kang in the ear room."
An An tilted her head, looked at the ear room, and asked subconsciously, "What's wrong with the heated kang in the ear room?"
"The heated kang is not warm and it's smoking. Are you stupid?"
An An stuck out her tongue and said coquettishly, "I forgot it."
Seeing Gu Weiqiang's unpredictable expression, she trotted and dragged Dong Dong to the kitchen to wash her face. She thought, it was a close call, the food was almost exposed.
An An drank a mouthful of hot porridge and suddenly remembered, "Dad, why don't you use the leftover chicken soup from yesterday? It's so much easier!" It's too troublesome to get up in the morning to make porridge, boil eggs, and stir-fry pickled cabbage.
Gu Weiqiang was peeling eggs for Dongdong when he heard his daughter asking questions. Good guy, the peeled eggs were almost rolled out. He froze and stammered, "Last night... I was hungry, so I got up and drank the remaining chicken soup." There were children at the table, and he couldn't let the children know that he had a relationship with the people in the thatched cottage. An An was fine, especially Dongdong. Children talk outside and are careless, which can easily bring disaster.
"Oh." An An nodded and added, "That's good. I almost thought it was a cat that took the chicken soup away. That's a pity."
"..." Someone who was mistaken for a cat burst into tears. The daughter was too smart and he was almost exposed.
After finishing breakfast, An An was going to clean the table and wash the dishes, but was driven into the room by Gu Wei Qiang. He hesitated, "Girl, you feel uncomfortable for a few days, so you can't use cold water. Go in and have a rest." As an old father, Gu Wei Qiang had never been so embarrassed before. Although she was his daughter, he was still a little shy when he mentioned it.
The carefree Gu An An was stunned for a moment, "Which days?"
Gu Wei Qiang was angry and snatched the bowl, and ordered his little son, "Dong Dong, take your sister into the house." Is it easy for him to be an old father?
The obedient Gu Dong Dong pushed Gu An An into the house.
The nervous Gu An An repeated his father's words and it took him a long time to react.
It turned out to be referring to menstruation!
What's the big deal?
Gu Weiqiang is her father, okay?
When she was still An'an, she had some menstrual pain, and her father wanted to take Gu An'an around the world to see doctors and find folk remedies.
When it got cold in winter, he repeatedly warned her not to drink cold water.
Thinking of this, Gu An'an felt warm inside. In fact, all fathers in the world are the same.
At around ten o'clock in the morning, the rich uncle invited by Gu Weiqiang came. He was quite old this year, the same age as the old man of the Gu family, with a wrinkled face, but he looked very kind. He wore a tattered felt hat and a pair of thick cotton boots, which were wrapped with several layers of thick dry straw to keep warm, prevent slipping, and be waterproof.
In order to avoid walking in the snow, the cotton boots would get soaked.
When he arrived, Gu Weiqiang had already moved out all the things in the ear room, leaving only an empty kang.
Uncle Guicai took a puff of his pipe, put the pipe on the wall and knocked it loudly. He shook his head and said hatefully, "Which bastard did it like this? Isn't this intentional to hurt people?" The older generation is down-to-earth. In addition, Guicai has been building kangs for others all his life. After knocking it, he knew that when the kang was built, not only did they cut corners, but they also didn't get the orientation right.
When Zhou Aiju went out, she saw Guicai coming from outside to the west room, so she followed him. When she heard Guicai say this, she slammed her hand on the wall, her face turned blue, and explained, "When the house was built, the family was busy, and Guicai went to Wei Xin's house in the city during that time and was not in the village. I gave the task of repairing the kang to the second son's wife, Wang Daying, and she said that she had come from her mother's village to help her. She hired a very good master, and not only that, the price was also very cheap, so I agreed to let her invite her family members to help build the kang. "
Gu Weixin is Gu Guicai's son, but he works as a cook in a hotel in the city. When the Gu family built a house two years ago, Gu Guicai went to the county town, and the Gu family couldn't find anyone to build the kang. Wang Daying made another plan, and Zhou Aiju believed Wang Daying and asked her to hire someone to do it.
Thinking of this, Zhou Aiju's face darkened slightly, "Guicai, take a look at the kangs in the next room, is there any problem?" Guicai
has been building kangs for a lifetime, and he has seen a lot of filth in every household. He took a long puff of dry tobacco with a faint expression and exhaled slowly, "Check it! Otherwise, your body will be burned." Building kangs is also a science.
If it is not built correctly, not only will it emit smoke, but the kang will not be warm enough. If it is built too hard, the temperature will be too high, which can easily damage a healthy body.
Guicai first checked the kang in the west room and shook his head.
Since Gu Weiqiang had invited people, he also checked the other rooms.
In fact, there was no need to check. Gu Weiqiang could guess a little bit. When they built the house two years ago, they spent a lot of money, but Wang Daying took the money and hired a bad master. The warm kang in the house was made up.
After checking the west room, they went to Zhao Aiju and Old Man Gu's room. The same problem, cutting corners and wrong position.
She didn't give up and took him to the east room. Wang Daying looked suspicious and blocked the doorway. Gu Weiqiang, with a gloomy face, lifted her neck and slid her to the side. She didn't dare to say a word.
Guicai took a cigarette bag pot and knocked on the kang with the cigarette handle. The sound was a bit hollow. If you didn't listen carefully, you really couldn't hear it. He turned around and said to a few people, "The same, this kang has been reduced in material."
Hearing this, Wang Daying's legs went weak. She was full of stars. The truth was revealed.
In their remote corner, it was very cold in winter. The heated kang in every household was the highlight, and it cost a lot to build.
At first, the five red brick and tile houses of the Gu family were the only ones in the village, and I don't know how many people envied them.
It cost a lot of money to build them, but who would have thought that they were bright on the outside and filled with bad cotton wool on the inside.
Wang Daying sat on the ground, "Mom, I was also deceived! You have to believe me!"
Everyone knew whether they were deceived or not.
Especially Wang Daying, when she built the kang, Zhou Aiju took out nearly 400 yuan. There were seven or eight kangs in the family, including Erfeng, and even if the best materials were used, plus the labor cost, it was enough.
Wang Daying said that she hired a master chef from her mother's village, but she was actually just an apprentice. She only learned for three months, but she was fired by the master chef for being cunning and sly.
The dismissed young master had a bad reputation in Wang Daying's hometown. No one would hire him to build kangs.
He could only cheat people from other villages.
Wang Daying saw the opportunity to make money. She spent less than 100 yuan to build seven or eight kangs in a room.
The remaining 300 yuan was pocketed by her and she spent it all.
"Tell the truth, or I'll kick you out of the Gu family today. Go back to where you came from." Zhou Aiju's hands were shaking with anger, and she pointed at Wang Daying and said, "Even if it means that three children will lose their mother, I will drive you, the trouble, out of the Gu family."
Gu Weiqiang also watched coldly, without helping at all. There is a kind of person who will only repent when they are in pain, but once they are no longer in pain, they will immediately forget it.
That person is Wang Daying.
An An heard the noise and quietly followed out from the west room. She held the little kid and looked at her old father eagerly, and comforted Zhou Aiju who was shaking with anger from time to time.
Gu Weifu went to the widow Zheng's house to help and pick up their son-in-law and daughter into the village, so he was not at home.
But Wang Daying's children were all there. When they saw the children crawling out of her belly, they all looked at her in disbelief.
Especially Gu Shu, who had an expression that said, "I am ashamed to have a mother like you."
Wang Daying's hair was messy, and she was crying and begging for mercy, "Mom, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have been greedy. Please forgive me this time. Our Gu Shu is going to college, and he can't tell others that he has divorced parents! He can't afford to lose face!" What's more, she is the daughter-in-law who gave birth to three grandchildren for the Gu family!
How can she just divorce him?
Zhou Aiju laughed in anger and slapped him with full force, "I spared you? Wang Daying, tell me yourself, how many times did you ask me to spare you in a year? This family broke up because of you, and the hard-earned money of everyone was used to build the house, and you will also be embezzled. What else can't you do?"
Old Master Gu, who always favored the second wife, was also watching from the side at this time, watching coldly. This second wife was too unkind.
She needed to be taught a lesson.
Gu Weifu shook his pants and came back from outside refreshed. As soon as he walked into the yard, he heard a quarrel.
His heart skipped a beat.
When he entered the house, he saw his wife kneeling on the ground begging for mercy. Looking at Wang Daying's disheveled hair, fat body, snot and tears, he flashed a trace of disgust in his eyes.
Without asking any questions, he kicked her and cursed, "What did you do to make your mother so angry?"
Gu Weifu was wearing leather shoes with cow tendon soles. This kick was very powerful. Wang Daying staggered and couldn't recover for a long time.
Gu Shu briefly told the whole story.
Gu Weifu's face turned pale and blue, blue and white. He had originally proposed this idea to Wang Daying. Most of the money he embezzled from building the kang was spent on him, and some was used to give Gu Shu living expenses in the county town.
But he couldn't say this.
He could only insist that it was Wang Daying who was blinded by greed and did such a beastly thing.
Gu Wei Fu's mind turned for several rounds but his expression remained unchanged. He looked at Wang Daying threateningly, signaling her not to tell anyone about the incident and advised, "Mom, it is true that Daying did something wrong, but she is the mother of my three children, and Gu Shu is going to take the college entrance examination soon. If Daying and I get divorced, it will become a stain on Gu Shu. I'm going to give Daying a beating to vent everyone's anger."
Gu Wei Fu said it well. All the faults were on Wang Daying. If they got divorced, the eldest son Gu Shu would suffer. Gu Shu was going to take the college entrance examination, which was the honor of the entire Gu family. He was betting that the old man and the old lady would be reluctant to give up Gu Shu.
Gu Shu was very sensible, "Grandma, Grandpa, there was a classmate in our class whose parents got divorced. Not only was she excluded from school, but her grades also dropped from the top ten in the class to outside the top 100."
Hearing this, Zhou Aiju sat down on the chair and closed her eyes. She knew the cunning of the second brother.
However, Gu Shu was indeed the weak link between her and the old man.
She was reluctant to gamble with Gu Shu's future.
Zhou Aiju gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, the divorce is not allowed, but the second room will pay for the repair of all the kangs in this room." The foundation of this kang was not laid well when it was built. If it is repaired, it is equivalent to spending money all over again.
In the past, the money would come from the public funds, but this time!
Of course, it was the second wife of the Gu family who put it on.
Gu Anan's eyes flashed with sarcasm. This was considered light. The worst kang in the house was the one that Gu Anan had slept on for two years.
She said, "Second uncle, I want the best material for the kang in the west wing."
Seeing that Gu Weifu's face was a little ugly, she added, "The kang in the smoking wing is cold. I have lived there for two years."
Gu Weifu was unwilling, but Gu Weiqiang glared at him. "Second brother, my daughter lives in the worst house. You should compensate An'an both emotionally and rationally."
Although the family has been separated, in the eyes of outsiders, the bones and tendons are broken. Gu Weifu still doesn't want to break up with Gu Weiqiang. After all, with his fourth brother's ability, he will have to leave Gujia Village sooner or later.
And if he wants to take a step forward as captain of Gujiacun, he still needs the help of his fourth son.
Gu Weifu agreed with a painful look on his face, "Okay, the money for repairing the kang in this room will be paid by the second house."
Wang Daying's face was swollen, and she hesitated, "I don't agree, our second house has no money at all." The remaining one hundred yuan was for Gu Shu to study in the city at the beginning of the year.
"That's it." The old man Gu, who had not spoken a word, said, "If you have any opinions, just return the money you swallowed."
Wang Daying immediately lost her temper. According to her budget, it was an acquaintance repairing the kang, so it was only one hundred or eighty yuan.
But if she spit out what she swallowed, it would not be enough even if she sold herself.
On the surface, Grandpa Gu was being fair and letting the second house repair the kang was also because he was afraid that the fourth house would make trouble. If they asked for more, it would be a disaster for the second house.
After the last division of the family, it must be said that Grandpa Gu was a little afraid of his fourth son.
Since the head of the family has spoken, even if the people below have opinions, they can only swallow them.
From An An's point of view, this punishment is really light. This family has been sleeping on a bad kang for so long. The young people are still okay, but the elderly people's bodies are not sure what they will be like.
However, as the elders, the old man and the old lady did not pursue it. As a younger generation, if she brought it up again, it would be a bit unfilial.
Zhou Aiju's expression softened a little, and she said to Guicai who had been watching the excitement at the side, "Thank you, Guicai, for helping us renovate the house inside and out. If you need money, just ask Lao Er. If they don't give you, just tell me and I'll take them to your house to do manual labor." These words were a bit harsh. For Gu Wei Fu, as a team leader, he gradually gained official authority. If he went to the homes of ordinary people and sold his labor to pay off debts because he owed money, he would lose face completely.
He was a little disapproving, "Mom..."
Zhou Aiju didn't look at him. She also valued the second son, but as these things added up, her warm heart slowly cooled down.
It would take a while to repair the kang, so Guicai called his grandson over to help.
The two of them were experienced and worked quickly. The first thing to be repaired was the kang in the west room, because Gu Weiqiang was the first to call him. He
also repaired the kang in the master bedroom of the west room.
An An had never slept on a kang before. It was only after coming here for a few days that she slowly began to sleep. She lay on top, rolled over a few times, and licked her face. "I don't think there's any change!"
Gu Weiqiang saw that his eldest daughter was so naughty for a rare time. He smiled gently, "Try it tonight, it's guaranteed to be comfortable."
An An nodded with a smile.
The little kid Gu Dongdong next to him couldn't bear to look at it. He lay on his old father's shoulder and bit his ear, "Dad, do you think my sister is so stupid!"
Gu Dongdong, who thought he had a very small voice, was mysterious.
"...", Gu An An.
Gu Weiqiang curled up his index finger and tapped his youngest son's forehead, "Don't bully your sister."
The little kid looked at his sister rolling on the bed and agreed, "Yeah! Whoever dares to bully my sister, I will beat him." An An thought it was just the little kid's childish talk, but it turned out to be a proverb.
The kang in the west room was repaired, and Gu Weiqiang also rested at home for two days. He couldn't sit still, and after discussing with his own children, he planned to run another trip before the New Year.
Save more money. According to his plan, An An will go to the city to study in high school next year, and the living environment on campus is too bad.
If it really doesn't work, he will rent a house in the county town at that time. If he has enough money, he can also buy one.
It just so happened that Dongdong was going to be promoted to the third grade soon, and the teachers in the county were better.
Of course, these were all plans for the future.
For now, they had to spend a happy and peaceful New Year.
Moreover, he wanted to let the children know that even without a mother, they were no worse than other children.
Their children should have what other children had, and even more so what other children did not have.
Even if it was the stars in the sky, Gu Weiqiang would try his best to pick them and give them to the children.
An An said seriously, "Dad, go and make money. I'll take care of the family. Dongdong is very obedient, so you don't have to worry about us." As she spoke, she happily took out a Ping An Fu from under the pillow. This was the cheapest kind in the supermarket, two yuan each.
It was woven with red rope, but its appearance was indeed the most retro, and it was quite close to this era. It was so good that An An did not dare to take it out.
She handed it to Gu Wei Qiang, "Dad, hang this peace blessing on the car to ensure safety. Dong Dong and I are waiting for you to come back!"
Gu Wei Qiang looked at the palm-sized peace blessing, his eyes were red, but it was only a moment, he has been driving for so many years. It was
the first time he received a peace blessing. In the past, he saw that the master who brought him into the transport team and his teammates all received gifts from their families.
But he never had one.
Tang Lanzhi's mind has always been on how to dress herself up and how to dress up Wan Wan.
So she never thought about it.
As for Zhou Aiju, she thought that the fourth son must have done something to marry such a good wife, so she ignored it.
Gu Weiqiang took Ping An Fu, a tall and strong man of more than 1.8 meters, and put the red rope around his neck on the spot, which was a bit out of place.
He reached out and touched An An's head, "Thank you, my lady." Gu Weiqiang thought that he was satisfied with having a pair of children in his life.
As for Gu Wanwan, he subconsciously ignored her. The heavy snow outside lasted for three days before it stopped.
During these three days, An An did not go anywhere, just watching her little kid eating at home.
For An An, it was too miserable for her to pretend to be poor even though she had a huge fortune.
Fortunately, the little kid was obedient, and no matter what An An did, her sister was right.
If it was wrong, please refer to the first point.
Gu An An was so moved that she almost burst into tears.
Under the little kid's eyes, the dough was fermented, and then put into the pot to steam. When it was almost cooked, An An waved her left hand, and the original cornmeal bun turned into a soft and fluffy bread.
The little kid ate so much that his eyes narrowed. He kept licking his fingers and said admiringly, "Sister, the steamed buns you made are so delicious."
An An still had half a piece of milk bread in her hand. She nodded with a smile and said, "I'll make it for you next time." As for whether it was steamed buns or bread, only she knew.
It was also because the little kid was so easy to fool.
She looked at the salted meat stall in the supermarket, where there was a whole row of roast chicken, bacon, and salted pork belly. She
drooled just thinking about it, but she couldn't take it out. After all, using bread instead of cornmeal steamed buns is already a substitution.
It's too risky to show meat out of thin air.
She was confused for a long time, and then a light bulb suddenly came to her head, "Dongdong, come on, I'll take you to Uncle Huazi's house." Uncle Huazi's father, An An called Second Grandpa. In the early years, An An went to the mountains with Second Grandpa and hunted.
However, An An's luck was a bit bad.
Oh! No! It was very bad.
Whenever Second Grandpa took An An, he never hunted prey, or even if he hunted prey, as long as An An was there, there would always be various accidents, and the prey would end up in vain.
For example, in An An's impression, Second Grandpa originally hunted a silly roe deer, and An An followed behind him. The straw rope tied to the silly roe deer's leg suddenly broke, and she watched the silly roe deer run away.
Or, a rabbit that had clearly fallen into a trap and fainted, when An An came, the rabbit burst out with ten times the strength, and with a flick of its legs, it escaped from the trap and ran away.
Also, the pheasant was so fat that it couldn't even walk, but when it saw An An, it flapped its wings, and it was amazing that it actually flew to the branches.
Can you imagine?
The pheasant, which was full of fat, could actually flap its wings and fly to the top of a high tree branch. Anyway, the second master said that he had never seen such a strange phenomenon in his life of hunting.
At first, An An was diligent and studious, which made the second master finally feel that there was someone to take over, but later!
The second master wanted to take a detour when he saw An An.
We can't afford to offend, but we can hide from him.
An An didn't believe in evil. When she led her little kid to Uncle Huazi's house, they had a fire going, and the whole family was sitting in the kitchen warming themselves by the fire!
In the clay pot, there were roasted peanuts, a handful of soybeans, and two skinny sweet potatoes.
When she pushed the door open, Banxia was peeling peanuts like a mouse!
Seeing An An, her eyes lit up, "An An, you're finally here. I've been feeling nauseous at home." She was fat, and her old man was worried that if she went out, she would fall into the snow and couldn't get out. So, she wanted to go find An An to play, but Gu Huazi didn't agree.
To be honest, Gu Huazi was just worrying about nothing.
An An took out a handful of fruit hard candies from her pocket. These days, all kinds of these candies are sold in the county town. However, the candies she took out were packaged in a prettier way. The shiny plastic paper instantly attracted Ban Xia's attention.
"I brought these for you. Try them. They're so sweet." After An An finished speaking, Aunt Juxiang dug out two sweet potatoes from the fire and gave one to Dongdong and the other to An An. But An An waved her hands and said, "Aunt Juxiang, I'm not hungry." She paused and looked at the Second Master with green light in her eyes. "Second Master, can you lend me your hunting tools?" The Second
Master had his eyes half-closed. He was wearing a thick cotton jacket. With his hands in his sleeves, he was leaning back in a recliner, warming himself by the fire and humming a tune. He felt extremely comfortable.
Hearing An An's words, he scratched his ears and shouted, "An An, what did you say?" The pine branches in the clay basin were bubbling with oil and crackling. As an old man, he was a little deaf.
An An was not in a hurry. He picked up two peas and ate them. He chewed them crunchily and raised his voice involuntarily, "Second Master, can you lend me your hunting tools?"
This time, Second Master understood. He was so scared that he almost fell off the recliner. He looked An An up and down, "No, you can't hunt, and you will hurt me." The hunting tools that An An had used were basically broken.
Gu Huazi, who was standing next to him, understood An An's intention, and laughed insincerely like his son Ban Xia, "An An, it's so cold, don't bother going out, it's not safe in the mountains." Besides, you can't catch any prey!
Whoever is sitting in this room doesn't know that An An is the mascot of the prey in the mountains. As long as An An follows, no matter how good the hunter is, he can't catch any prey and can only return empty-handed. Not to mention, the hunter's old partner will also be disabled. An An
was very distressed. Her reputation was too bad in the past, and no one believed her. She rubbed her hands and said shamelessly, "Second Master, please lend it to me!"
Second Master still shook his head, unwilling.
The little kid next to him watched his sister get frustrated again and again. He got excited and jumped on the second master. His red and frozen little hands grabbed the second master's beard and twisted it non-stop!
He didn't forget to turn around and said, "Sister, the second master put the tools behind the kitchen door! You can just go and get them." With him watching here, the second master couldn't run away.
"Hey, you little bastard, your arms are crooked!" After the second master finished speaking, he realized that in terms of kinship, Dongdong and An'an were the real siblings, and he, the old man, was the outsider. After all, he had watched them grow up since they were young, and he couldn't bear to beat the naughty boy. He shouted, "Don't take all of them! I'll just lend you the pokemon tongs, and don't touch the others."
An'an responded crisply and raised his thumb to his little kid.
After getting it, she said, "Dongdong, you stay at Uncle Huazi's house, I'll pick you up later." Dongdong wanted to go, but was glared at by his sister. He immediately hung his head and said nothing.
Gu Huazi was not at ease to let An An go into the mountain alone, so he put on a cotton coat and planned to follow An An.
Who would have thought that the little girl would disappear in just a few steps, and she didn't forget to look back, "Uncle Huazi, you go back, I will go to the foot of the mountain to take a look, I won't go in."
Gu Huazi looked at his cotton coat, shook his frozen hands, and thought that with An An's skills, the predators in the mountains could not hurt her, so he simply went back to the house to warm himself by the fire.
In this weather, where is suitable for hunting?
It is most comfortable to be at home.
According to her memory, An An walked from Uncle Huazi's house from the beginning to the end of the village. The further back she went, the fewer houses there were. After walking for about half an hour, she finally saw a thatched house. She remembered that there were several bad elements living in it. However, when she fell down while cutting firewood in the mountains, these bad elements helped her a lot. Later, she became a long-term worker for the bad elements for free.
She tutted her lips, "An An is so kind." He is really brave, but the bad guy is not really bad, he is kind-hearted.
She shook off the messy thoughts in her head. She
walked along the quiet path behind the thatched house. The snow on the road was very deep. When no one was around, she found a pair of high boots from the supermarket, hiding only the knees. From the outside, the black boots were thin, but when she looked inside, she saw that the inside of the boots was surrounded by a thick layer of white woolen quilt, which was very warm.
An An sighed comfortably, put on a thick cotton glove, picked up a stick, and walked into the mountain as a crutch.
The snow was thick and it squeaked when she stepped on it. However, because the snow had not melted yet, it was not slippery and the road was much easier to walk on.
In the bamboo forest in the mountain, the green leaves were covered with a thick quilt, which bent the branches. She was in a playful mood and pulled the bamboo branches, suddenly letting go, and the accumulated snowflakes fell down, which was even more beautiful.
An An had enough fun, and her hands in thick cotton gloves were also frozen red. She took a hot water bag from the supermarket like a magician and stuffed it into her cotton coat. Although it was a bit heavy, it made her feel warm.
She simply quickened her pace, and after climbing two hillsides, she finally saw a valley. The elderly people in the village said that the valley was a river in the early years, but later there was a severe drought, and it gradually became a dry valley.
However, this place is spacious and flat, and it is the easiest place to fall into the trap of beasts.
An An looked around, stepped on the east and jumped on the west, and found that the snow in the middle was loose after all. She took something and started digging. After digging a hole about several feet high, she slowly took out the things she was carrying.
What she didn't know was that behind her, in the bushes, at first glance, there was thick snow.
But if you look closely, you will find that there are two people in the bushes, but this person! The green military uniform he was wearing was covered with white snowflakes all over his body. In addition, the green uniform mixed with the bushes made it hard to tell whether it was leaves of the bushes or the white snow. At least from the outside, it was really impossible to tell at all.
After hearing the noise, the young man on the left shook his head at the person next to him.
He motioned to look ahead and not to make a sound.
This young man was Lu Yan, who was sent from the capital to Taisong County for a mission because Lang Yongling was exiled to Gujia Village.
Therefore, when Lu Yan was sent to Taisong County, he directly used his position to be transferred to the troops near Gujia Village. In the past few days, the mountains were blocked by heavy snow, and the soldiers were locked up in the troops, and hair was almost growing on their bodies.
It happened that Lu Yan got the news that a vicious criminal was locked up in the mountain for a while. He applied for a mission from his superiors, but they didn't approve it. The reason was that they were stationed here not to capture prisoners, but to study the mission. Lu Yan didn't agree with his superiors' reply, so he was furious and took his subordinate Zhang Xiaowu out to investigate the situation.
They chased all the way from the back mountain to this valley, but found that the people had disappeared.
According to Lu Yan's analysis, if the group of people want to survive in this snowy mountain, this valley is the best place to set a trap, because other places are all dense bushes. Even if the trap is set, it is easy for the prey in the mountain to escape.
Who would have thought that Lu Yan and Zhang Xiaowu had been hiding in the bushes for most of the day, but instead of waiting for the prisoners, they waited for a round black girl.

Lu Yan's eyes twitched uncontrollably, and he couldn't help but doubt himself, is he overthinking?
If it was really the prisoner, why would they send out a stupid girl.
It was nothing to do, so he blinked at Zhang Xiaowu, "Don't move." Then he continued to watch. After
Gu Anan dug the trap, he hid to the side, put his hand into his clothes, covered his hand warmer, and sighed, "Fortunately, my family is full." Then he waited, and about half an hour passed.
In this valley, she really found prey.
The first thing she saw was a skinny pheasant, flapping its wings and constantly probing the edge of the valley.
An An's eyes lit up and she whispered, "Go in quickly, go in quickly." In the trap, she put fragrant cooked peas and sesame seeds.
