As he spoke, Gu Xinran walked towards the big buffalo.
With a handful of fodder in his left hand and a bowl of diluted spiritual spring water in his right hand, he was not skilled in driving the cart, so he bribed Uncle Niu first.
Brother Gu connected the two mule carts together and prepared to set off.
"Ranran, you go ahead and drive slowly. Our cows are very docile, so there should be no problem."
"good."
After locking the door of Duan's house, the two siblings set out on their return journey.
The skinny refugees outside the city gate stared at the cows and mules as if they were zombies smelling the scent of living people.
What a shitty living environment, what poor people!
Gu Xinran had no way and no ability to change, so she could only take care of her family and not follow in their footsteps.
Out of sight, out of mind. He whipped the cow's butt, and it quickly flew away from the city gate with a "de, de, de" sound.
I don’t know if it was because the cow was docile or if the bribe was successful, but the journey was smooth and we returned to Qingshan Village in the afternoon.
From afar, I saw smoke rising from cooking fires, children playing, and adults running around. It's a pity that such peace will soon be gone.
As soon as we entered the yard, Grandpa and Xiao Ba came over and helped unload the carriage.
Xuanxuan and Tingting also came out to watch the fun.
Grandpa Gu's eyes lit up when he saw the two mule carts. "These two mules are really strong. Why did you buy an extra one?"
"Grandpa, these two cars were given by Brother Yun Chi, and the things inside were also left by him. Come up and take a look. This carriage is not simple."
Gu Xinran showed her family the carriage with its hidden secrets, and brought out a basket to distribute delicious food to everyone.
Xuanxuan and Tingting were eating delicious food, but they did not forget to bring it to the kitchen for their grandma and mother.
Grandpa Gu walked around the mule cart, praising it as he looked at it. "This cart is really good. It allows me to rest and catch my breath when I'm tired or cold. Yun Chi is a good boy, and he's thoughtful!"
Xiao Ba and Brother Gu took out the knife and bow and arrow from the secret compartment to study them.
Xiao Ba said seriously, "The weapons are very good. Put them away first and don't take them out easily. These should be military controlled items."
Gu Xinran nodded obediently.
Brother Gu put down his sword and arrow, walked over to Grandpa, and asked seriously, "Grandpa, little starling, what are the arrangements in the village?"
Grandpa's smile vanished instantly, and he looked sad. "We'll gather at the village center drying yard at 6:00 AM tomorrow morning to escape the famine. Alas, the days ahead will be hard. Your grandmother and I will be a burden to you. I can't bear to leave such a nice house, fertile fields, and mountain land."
