Chapter 451: Reconstruction of the Family on the Road to Escape
Unexpectedly, saliva was sprayed on her face. Gu Li raised her hand and slapped the little brat on the forehead again, "Be more polite when talking to your sister."
Then she squinted at him with disdain, "You are so thin, small, dirty and smelly, just like a thin dog. Who knows if you are a boy or a girl?"
The little kid refused to accept the defeat and kept cursing through gritted teeth, but the person hiding in the woods came out.
She held the bow and walked towards us step by step.
"Don't touch him!" the man said.
Judging from her figure and voice, she should be a woman, not too old. As for why I didn't see her face, it was because her body and face were covered with stinky mud, just like the broken child on the ground.
Can't see clearly at all.
Gu Li supported her knees and slowly stood up. What she said just now was deliberately said for the person hiding behind the tree to hear.
Let her know that they are the benefactors who saved the little kid and they have no hostility towards her.
"What do you want in exchange for my brother being released?"
Gu Li curled her lips and smiled.
What happened next was much smoother.
The brother and sister were from a nearby village. Due to the severity of the disaster, they had no relatives to turn to and no money to enter the city, so they had to hide in the woods.
In order to avoid being discovered by the animals in the deep forest, and also to avoid being discovered by people who were determined to enter the forest in search of food, they always smeared the mud from the deep ditches on their bodies.
Deep trenches? Silt?
There is water in the woods!
Gu Li's mind made a buzzing sound. "We didn't expect any reward before we rescued him, but we were really short of water and food, so we wanted to ask your brother where to find chickens and insects. Who knew he would be so-----"
Gu Li paused tactically and continued, "As the saying goes, a drop of water should be repaid with a spring. We saved your brother, so we don't need your spring. We just want some water and something to eat in the forest."
My sister felt a little embarrassed by Gu Li's words.
She knew why her brother was reluctant to tell them where the grubs lived, because that place was near the cave where they were hiding.
The deep ditch from which they drew their water was also there.
"I, I can give you water! But we don't have much water." The elder sister pointed to the bamboo tube hanging on Gu Li's waist and said, "I can give you three bamboo tubes of water at most."
The greedy Gu Li still wanted to bargain.
My sister said, "We can only give you this much. There is not much water left in the ditch. The water we can collect every day is less than half of your bamboo tube."
The little brat struggled violently again, "Sister, we gave all the water to them, what should we do, grandpa and grandma-----"
Gu Li waved her hand, "Okay, then three bamboo tubes!"
You can't force someone to death. Seeing that the little brat is a protective family man, she let him go for the time being.
"What about the chicken bitch?"
It was the first time that the little brat saw Gu Li being so shameless. She took all the water stored in his house and wanted to eat all their grubs.
The child's sister also frowned. "The place where the grubs live is not big to begin with. My brother has already rummaged through it. And it's very far from here. If you don't mind, I can exchange it with you for something else."
Half an hour later, the child's sister brought three bamboo tubes filled with water and a bag of yam.
"This grass root may look ugly, but it tastes good when cooked." They found it by accident on a cliff in the mountains. It is also because of this that they have survived until now.
Gu Mancang had never seen yam before, but when he saw the little boy's look of heartache and reluctance, he knew that the child was not lying.
"Thank you. From now on, we owe each other nothing!" Gu Li proudly clasped his fists towards the little sister and performed a funny underworld salute.
Gu Mancang, who often travels outside, twitched his lips, and the little sister was stunned and didn't know how to respond.
Gu Li took three bamboo tubes, Gu Mancang picked up the cloth bag on the ground, and took out a small medicine bottle from his arms and threw it into the little boy's arms.
"I'll leave this medicine for you. His wound is serious. Apply the medicine to him as soon as possible!"
The kid's sister ran over and picked up the vial, "Thank you, hero!"
The corners of Gu Mancang's mouth twitched again. He was really fooled by his daughter and thought he was a ranger.
Gu Li: "If you can continue to live in the mountains, try not to be discovered. There has been a riot outside Gongzhou City, and some people who can't survive will choose to go into the mountains to fight."
The father and daughter returned to the resting place with their stuff. Tao Chunhua, who was afraid of being abandoned, hurried over to greet them, "Wow, how come you brought back so many things? You are really amazing, boss. Hey, what are these?"
Tao Chunhua didn't recognize any of the things Gu Mancang brought back.
He Xingqing also saw the dead leaf cocoons that Gu Mancang had shaken off to the ground, and looked puzzled.
Gu Li kicked a dung beetle cocoon to He Yunwang's feet with evil intentions, "Hey, this dung beetle ball is for you. It is said that it will be more delicious if you roast it!"
As soon as He Yunwang's gaze met Gu Li's, he immediately looked away.
Hey, something is wrong. Is this person avoiding my sight?
Doesn't he always like to provoke me?
"What is this?" He Xingqing picked up a chicken beetle cocoon on the ground and looked at it carefully. It didn't look like a dung beetle's dung ball.
Gu Li was too lazy to distract her attention to the person she hated. She stared at the thing in He Xingqing's hand with a smile and kindly reminded him, "Uncle, you squeezed it too hard. Be careful of it bursting!"
"Explosion?"
"Hehe." Gu Li laughed evilly, "The stuff inside tastes better than meat~"
The last two syllables of Gu Li are deformed.
Out of curiosity and boldness, He Xingqing directly tore open the cocoon.
Gu Li jumped two meters away to avoid it.
Although she wanted to eat meat, she had just laid the psychological foundation for eating insects. She needed to take it slow.
As the big white worm fell out, He Xingqing directly threw away the cocoon in his hand. He Yunwang on the side also shrank his feet, not because of fear, but because of pure disgust.
Gu Mancang glanced at Tao Chunhua and said, "That thing is indeed edible. I was just afraid that you would be scared and not eat it."
Tao Chunhua was not much better than Gu Li. Her hands and feet were stiff and she didn't dare to open the cocoon to take out the worm.
Finally, all the chicken worms in this pile were peeled by Gu Mancang and roasted on the fire.
Even Gu Mancang, who had seen the world, couldn't eat chicken crickets raw like that kid. He boiled them in too boiling water, so he had to roast them.
