EBE Chapter 318 Less Trouble Than You
Chapter 318 Less Trouble Than You
In fact, it was not that embarrassing. It rained, but the shed did not collapse. It was just that the roof was not covered tightly and some rain leaked in. They cut some leaves in the rain and put them on top. They quickly patched the hole and it became just a little wet. They soon lay down and fell asleep again, sleeping soundly.
Little Zhou Su frowned when he heard this.
The other members of the Zhou family also looked at her with heartache.
Only Mrs. Li and the old man looked at Zhou Guo without saying a word. One was their own child and the other was their apprentice. They knew what kind of shit they were doing just by looking at the other's butt.
How could you hear these words on a normal day? It's so hard to hide them, and yet they said them so carefully in front of them. They must have exaggerated. They didn't say anything that was really dangerous, and just glossed over it in a few words. How could they not hear it?
Everyone in the village has a new understanding of Zhou Guo, especially the girls who are about her age or older. The shock they received is absolutely huge.
It turns out that girls can also go out, ride horses to hunt, and use knives to kill people. They are no worse than boys in doing these things.
You can go out and do business instead of being stuck at home all day doing laundry, cooking, feeding chickens and doing farm work like them.
It turns out that girls can have such a life?
This is what the girls think, and the women also have the same idea in their minds.
It’s just that Zhou Guo is too capable. Girls don’t seem to be as capable as boys. She is a special case and is more capable than boys. The only idea in her mind is also retreating. They are just ordinary women. How can they have such abilities? It is more important to live a peaceful life.
Zhou Guo knew nothing about this.
The next day, she ran a few laps in the woods with the old man early in the morning. In the first half of the afternoon, she followed Li Zhouxing to chop green leaves for the family's livestock. In the second half of the afternoon, she followed the large group to chop firewood. She alone was equivalent to three or four laborers.
Even though everyone had heard of her abilities, it was different to see it with one's own eyes. How could one not be stunned by the sight of a little person carrying two bundles of firewood as thick as adults and leisurely strolling in the woods?
On this day, Zhou Dacang still did not come back.
Zhou Guo frowned secretly. Normally, he should have come back yesterday. If he didn't come back tomorrow, she would go down the mountain to investigate.
The next day, until it was almost dark, Zhou Dacang was still nowhere to be seen. Zhou Guo couldn't sit still and said to the old man, "Master, do you think my uncle will be okay? He has been down the mountain for so many days. If he doesn't come back, he will have no food to eat."
The old man put his hands behind his back and looked down the mountain. Hearing this, he said, "If you can't beat him, can't you just run away? Your uncle is much less of a worry than you. You look reassuring on weekdays, but you are nosy at heart and kind-hearted. You like to intervene when you encounter any injustice. Your uncle is different. He doesn't like to meddle in other people's business or watch the fun. When something happens, he stays away for fear of getting involved. This is good. He lives a long life. So don't worry. He must have been delayed by something. He will come up the mountain when the time comes."
Zhou Guo: “…”
I opened my mouth, wanting to say something in opposition, but found that I couldn't say anything.
That day, she had finished telling her story, but Zhou Dacang still hadn't come back.
He didn't come back on the third day.
On the fourth day, there was still no sign of him. The other members of the Zhou family were getting anxious. Although this place was a bit far from the village, it was not that far. They had agreed to come up the mountain every two or three days, so how come there was still no sign of him after so many days?
On the seventh day, Zhou Guo was hesitating whether to go down the mountain. When the sun reached the edge of the mountain, Zhou Dacang led the horse up the mountain, taking one step forward and one step back.
People from several nearby hilltops came over after hearing the news, all wanting to know what the situation was like down the mountain and when they could get down.
"It's been resolved? Those barbarians have been dealt with?"
All the villagers were very excited. In this way, they could go home. Although the cave was safe, it was not a place for people to live.
If you get up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, you have to run out of the cave. If you are not careful, you may step on feces and roll all over. In winter, if it is icy, you may be slippery and roll down the mountain and die on the spot. You also have to be on guard against wild beasts in the mountains all the time. In short, living there is so uncomfortable that it is better to be at home.
Zhou Dacang nodded and said, "When I entered the mountain, people from several nearby villages had already returned home from the county town one after another. Everyone received accurate information from the county government that the group of Hu people had indeed been executed."
Now everyone can finally put their minds at ease.
After chatting for a while, the people from each mountain got up and left. "Let's go, let's go back and pack our things. Now that the Hu people are dead, we will go home. It's okay to live in this mountain for a short time, but it will be difficult to live for a long time."
Everyone packed up their things excitedly. They could finally go home. It had been almost a month since they last went home. They didn't know what the vegetables in the garden looked like. They hoped they wouldn't be stolen. And the firewood at home must not be stolen.
The Zhou family also started to pack up. Since they had many people and everyone worked efficiently, they finished packing in no time.
Zhou Su followed behind Zhou Guo, and Hei Dabing followed beside them. The two men and the dog walked in and out, but they couldn't find anything to do.
There was not much food, and they would be able to pack it up in a moment after a meal tomorrow morning. Zhou Gu and Zhou Mai were busy collecting firewood and bringing it into the cave. Next time, if they encountered this situation again, they would have ready-made firewood when they went up the mountain.
In addition to these, the bedding, pots, pans, and utensils will all be used tonight and tomorrow morning.
The last are the livestock in the shed. Tomorrow morning, we will tie ropes on them one by one and lead them back the same way we brought them in.
Everyone was so busy that they didn't even have the heart to cook dinner. They were about to go home and were very excited.
Zhou Guo had no choice but to take charge of the cooking. He was reluctant to eat the radishes he brought from the mountain, and there was still half a sack left. He had to peel two and eat them in the evening and stew them with the rabbits. There were now about twenty or thirty rabbits in the pen.
In addition to the newborns, there are also live rabbits that the old man has caught in the past. He couldn't bear to eat them, so he raised them all. Now the collection has grown to a considerable size.
The old lady caught a rabbit today, but one rabbit was not enough to eat, so she caught one from the pen. When the villagers saw her catching rabbits directly from the pen, they had an idea and wanted to try one too, so that they would have strength to go down the mountain tomorrow. But a rabbit was only thirty or forty cents, which was too expensive!
The people nearby thought the same thing. Several families looked at each other, then slapped their thighs and decided they had an idea. They could buy one together and divide the fish among themselves.
When Zhou Guo heard that everyone wanted to buy rabbits, she readily agreed. She was worried about how to bring so many rabbits down the mountain. "It's okay, everyone. Those who don't have money can exchange them for food. You can exchange whatever you have."
