"I will also work hard, and we can live a good life." Brother Gu said seriously.
"It's too late. Go wash up and go to bed. You'll be fine." Grandpa said, and the beautiful day ended.
Late at night, when everyone was asleep, Gu Xinran touched the four-leaf clover birthmark on her left hand and entered the space.
Ten square meters is really small! I can reach the end of it in one turn. Even a mosquito is still meat. I picked up the farm tools I had put in earlier and started working.
One square meter of soybeans, two square meters each of wild vegetables, cabbage, radish, and mustard greens.
During the apocalypse, Gu Xinran used his mind to farm, but when he tried it today, he got a headache after turning it over a few times, so he had to switch to manual labor.
Who can understand the tragedy of going from automation to pure manual labor? It’s hard to go from luxury to frugality. Fortunately, there are only ten square meters, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to grow everything.
My body is still too weak. I will start exercising from tomorrow.
He is only 1.5 meters tall at the age of thirteen, with no front or back, like an undeveloped bean sprout.
I hope that drinking some Lingquan water every day will improve the condition.
Looking at the spiritual spring as big as a rice bowl in the space, tears came to my eyes. I had used it to dilute water for farming, bathing... It could never be used up.
Now I only have about ten drops of spiritual spring water every day, which I divide into parts so that I can't use it all up and then be caught off guard when I need it urgently. I take two drops for myself, two drops for my family, and keep six drops for backup.
The right way is to change slowly over time. If you change suddenly, people will treat you like a monster and arrest you.
Go to sleep, exercise early tomorrow morning, and postpone your retirement life of eating well, sleeping well, and having fun.
"Cock-a-doodle-doo" The rooster's crowing rhythmically awakened the new day and also awakened Gu Xinran.
After washing up, it was already dawn. Unexpectedly, Gu Yuchen was also up.
"Good morning, brother."
"Ranran, why are you up so early?"
"I've decided to start exercising today. My health is so poor. What do I look like? A runt as skinny as a bean sprout. What are you doing up so early?"
"Haha, my sister is pretty good. Just like you, I get up early every day to run around the mountain and stand in horse stance for 25 minutes. Do you want to join me?"
"Okay, okay, take the backpack and tools, run to the trap to take a look, and then run back, killing two birds with one stone."
"OK."
In the hazy mountain fog, two figures, one big and one small, were running back and forth. After running for only a quarter of an hour, Gu Xinran was out of breath, but Brother Gu was fine.
In order not to fall behind, Gu Xinran drank a drop of spiritual spring water, revived with full blood and continued.
The journey that took me more than half an hour yesterday only took me fifteen minutes to run today.
Gu Xinran was so exhausted from the cheat that she couldn't breathe, and her heart felt like it was about to jump out. Gu Yuchen was just panting slightly, and there was still some stamina. Her elder brother was still her elder brother!
Brother Gu asked her to rest for a while while he went to check out two closer traps first.
Nothing found!
The two of them walked towards the largest trap. They heard a noise from a distance, and it seemed there was a big one.
The brother and sister became excited.
Brother Gu took a deep breath, held the bow and arrow, adjusted his posture, and slowly moved towards the trap. Gu Xinran followed closely behind him with an axe.
As I got closer, I saw a wild boar weighing over 200 kilograms struggling in the trap, one of its hind legs probably injured, unable to kick. There was also a smaller piglet, about 60 kilograms, impaled by the bamboo spikes in the trap. It lay motionless, likely dead.
Finally the big meat is here, and we can make it as we please.
Gu Yuchen shot arrows and Gu Xinran moved stones to smash the wild boar. With these two methods working together, the wild boar was dead in a short while.
Brother Gu looked at the wild boar with some confusion and said, "This isn't a deep mountain, so there are almost no wild boars here. We're incredibly lucky. When you told me yesterday that you were going to dig a big trap, I thought it was a futile effort."
Gu Xinran was very proud at this moment: "Don't you see who I am? Ranran is here, one person is worth two, haha..."
Gu Yuchen took out the ropes he had brought with him and said, "Well, my Ranran is almost becoming a little lucky star. Come, let's pull them up together. I'll go down and tie them up first."
The two men pulled the wild boar up and tied it up with vines, then restored the trap to its original state. Brother Gu pulled the big wild boar, and Gu Xinran dragged the smaller one, and they returned victoriously in the rising sun.
It is extremely tiring to pull a wild boar along the mountain road. If she were alone, she would definitely put it in a space, even if it would crush the vegetables she had worked so hard to grow. One day outside is equivalent to ten days in the space. The growth speed is really amazing. The ones she planted last night sprouted this morning.
Oh, I have to find a shelf to make room, otherwise it will be inconvenient to put anything in. I also have to prepare some filling food to put around the spiritual spring, that part can keep it fresh.
I'm so hungry after doing some hard labor! I'm going to eat two big bowls of rice when I get home.
When they got home, Grandpa was the first to spot them. He helped drag the wild boar into the yard and anxiously looked the brother and sister up and down. "Yuchen, did you go into the mountains? Is this the wild boar you and Ranran hunted? Are you hurt?"
"No, these pigs were picked up from the trap that my sister and I dug yesterday. Don't worry, they are not hurt." Brother Gu replied hurriedly when he saw his grandfather was worried.
Only then did Grandpa finally have the energy to carefully observe the prey. "Haha, really good, this big one must weigh more than 200 pounds. If I sell it to the restaurant, I can get five taels of silver. Good job. The small one also has dozens of pounds of meat."
Grandpa's laughter called out the children who were feeding the chickens in the backyard and the people who were cooking in the kitchen. They were all very happy to see the two wild boars.
"I just want us to have meat for every meal in the future. We can sell the big ones to buy more grain, and the small ones can eat by ourselves. Grandpa, do you think it's okay?" Gu Xinran said to his grandfather who was stroking his beard and smiling.
"Well, okay, Ranran is right. This year's harvest is not good, so it's better to have more food in stock. Yuchen, after dinner, go to your uncle Zhang's house to borrow an ox cart and sell it in town while it's fresh."
"Grandpa, let me go with my brother. I put a lot of effort into hunting this wild boar." Gu Xinran wanted to see the current town, find ways to make money, understand the prices, and most importantly, buy more food.
