Gu Yuchen recognized at a glance that the driver of the first car was Master Qiu.
Master Qiu was really good to Brother Gu. When teaching him martial arts, he kept nothing to himself and trained him like his last disciple.
Gu Yuchen came forward from a distance and asked with concern, "Master, you are finally here. Did you have a smooth journey?"
Master Qiu was very happy that he finally caught up with the team. The refugees along the way were eyeing them covetously, and he and his two sons, with their swords in hand, managed to calm them down.
"There were some minor incidents, but nothing serious. How about you guys?"
Gu Yuchen thought about what had happened in the past two days. Things were not peaceful before they even left Chengzhou, and it would definitely be even more difficult in the future.
"Something happened, nothing serious."
Gu Yuchen greeted his master's wife, senior brother, and sister-in-law one by one, then helped lead the mule cart towards where his family had set up camp.
When Grandpa Gu saw them, a smile crept onto his wrinkled face and he greeted them warmly, "Master Qiu, you're finally here. Yuchen has been talking about you all the way."
Then he instructed Gu's mother: "Taoyuan, cook more and meet with Master Qiu and the others at noon."
After seeing the gift, the master's wife quickly declined, "No, no, you are too polite. It's not convenient in the wild with so many people. Let's each make our own and eat together."
The master's wife looked like a straightforward person, hardworking and not one to take advantage of others. After parking the car, she took her daughter-in-law to prepare dinner.
Mother Gu did not force them and told them to come and get whatever they needed.
Master Qiu is forty years old this year. He is married to Ms. Gao and has two sons who look like him, tall and strong.
The eldest, Qiu Zhenwei, was twenty-two years old, married to a woman surnamed Xie, and had a three-year-old daughter nicknamed Yuanyuan. The youngest, Qiu Zhenwu, was eighteen years old and unmarried.
Gu Yuchen talked to Master Qiu about Mr. Fan's case. After listening to it, Master Qiu broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, he stopped his kind-hearted daughter-in-law. He must talk to his family about this matter and learn from it.
He also told about the theft last night. The brothers also said that on the way here, the refugees saw that they were few in number and stopped cars to beg several times. Fortunately, they were skilled in martial arts and used their swords to clear the way, so they were able to reunite safely. The road was not peaceful, so everyone had to stick together for warmth.
After chatting about the recent situation of the past two days, Brother Gu and Grandpa Gu took Master Qiu and his son to visit the village chief.
When the village chief was found, he had just helped the Wang family divide their property.
The village chief shook his head as he looked at Mr. Wang and his wife who refused to listen.
Just to avoid giving any food to Boss Wang and prevent them from coming over to eat it later, he even signed a letter of severance, which meant he completely abandoned the first wife!
It's called a division of the family, but in fact it's no different from leaving the house with nothing. Not even a grain of food is given. It's so cruel. There's no intention to give the eldest wife a way to survive.
They didn't get a single penny of the silver they had divided up during the previous bandit incident, saying it was to buy out their pension money and they wouldn't owe each other anything in the future.
Boss Wang, his wife and six daughters were given a cart, a small bucket of water, a clay pot, and their own clothes and bedding, which were so patched up that it was unclear whether they could keep warm.
There are six children, the oldest is twelve and the youngest is four. They have no food and little water, so they will have a hard time in the future.
Gu Yuchen interrupted the village chief's thoughts and introduced: "Grandpa Li, this is Master Qiu from the Yangwei Martial Arts School in town. He is also my master. He wants to go south with us."
Village chief Li often traveled to the town, so he knew Master Qiu. The kung fu of several men in his family was well-known far and wide. Having such people join the fleeing team provided an extra layer of security.
Village Chief Li was very happy. He was not one to make trouble. He clasped his fists and saluted. "I have long heard of you. Welcome to join us! Our village is in need of talented people like you. Your martial arts school is really amazing. You have taught Yuchen very well. Please take good care of him in the future."
Seeing the village chief’s enthusiasm, Master Qiu and his son felt at ease. They smiled modestly and returned the greeting with a fist salute.
"I don't deserve it. If you need us, just tell me. We don't have anything else, but we have strength. My eldest brother has also joined the guards and patrols with us. We have our own swords."
The village chief nodded repeatedly after hearing this and asked Yuchen and his senior brother to be in charge of the guard team.
Several people were chatting enthusiastically.
The Gu family’s lunch is being prepared in full swing.
Mother Gu made an exception and steamed fine rice today!
Don’t even think about making any exquisite dishes in the wild, it’s usually just a stew.
Gu Xinran took out a lot of ribs and pork belly and stewed a big pot of braised pork ribs and pork, which was topped with a lot of dried bamboo shoots and beans. The main ingredient was more than enough.
It was delicious in the first place, and with the blessing of the spiritual spring water, the aroma wafting from the cooking process made the surrounding villagers greedy.
The food at the Qiu family was also good. This meal was considered a mutual treat, and both families brought out the best food at home.
They steamed white flour buns, cut a roast goose, a roast duck, and added stir-fried cabbage.
When Xuanxuan called them to eat, they were still chatting, and Grandpa Gu also invited the village chief.
This meal was considered a luxury while fleeing from famine.
Good food needs to be paired with good wine. Gu Xinran secretly took out a small jar of tiger bone wine from the space. When the amber medicinal wine was poured into the cup, the aroma of the wine filled the air. It was mellow and rich. One sip of it could make people intoxicated.
Everyone's appetite was aroused.
There is no table in the wild, so we just spread the oilcloth, put the food on it, and start eating.
The two families were together, but there were too many people, so they ate separately, with the men sitting in one circle and the women sitting in another.
Everyone enjoyed the food and drinks!
The most popular items are Gu Xinran’s tiger bone wine, braised pork ribs and braised pork.
Not only is it delicious, but after eating and drinking it, all your fatigue will disappear and your whole body will feel warm.
The other villagers were drooling with greed.
Well-educated families, seeing that the Gu family had guests, and there were several such tall and strong men, did not dare to come over to disturb them.
It was Uncle Wang’s beloved grandson, Wang Xiaopang, who was crying and rolling on the ground asking for delicious food.
The shameless Wang Pozi actually came over with a bowl and said with a serious face, "Big sister, you guys are eating!"
