Chapter 21: Dividing Pork
When Father Gu heard Gu Mingda's inquiry, he ran down the mountain without stopping.
Gu Mingda had no choice but to hold on to his eldest son Gu Yan.
Gu Yan looked anxiously at Dad Gu, who was running away, and explained: "My sister suddenly fainted."
Gu Mingda was a little strange and asked: "What are the blood stains on your grandfather's body?"
Gu Yan was stunned when he heard this, then looked around at the villagers who were full of genuine concern, and finally chose to tell the truth: "We met a wild boar on the mountain."
Everyone took a breath when they heard this.
It was extremely difficult for the combination of three children and an old man to escape from the wild boar. The villagers couldn't help but ask: "Are you injured?"
Gu Yan shook his head and said, "We killed that wild boar."
The villagers who heard this looked up and down at the children and felt that what they said was no different from fantasy. They even couldn't help but wonder if Gu Yan was lying.
But Gu Mingda, the father, believed in his son and asked, "Ayan, how old is that wild boar?"
Gu Yan said: "About two hundred kilograms."
The suspicion in the eyes of the villagers became even more serious. After all, a large wild boar weighing more than 200 kilograms was not something they, old and young, could handle.
Wild boars are ferocious, and even if they are encountered by an experienced hunter, they may never return.
"Ayan, are you sure it's a two-hundred-pound wild boar? Did you see it wrong? It's actually a small wild boar?" a villager asked.
Faced with the suspicion of the villagers, Gu Yan explained very patiently: "It's really a big wild boar, not a piglet."
Gu Mingda did not question his son, but immediately made a decision and looked around at the villagers who accompanied him unconditionally up the mountain to find someone.
These familiar faces are all villagers who had good friendship with him in the past.
"Folks, could you please go to the mountains with my Ayan and take the dead wild boar down the mountain? Then we can divide the wild boar equally according to the number of heads, okay?" Gu Mingda asked.
The villagers who accompanied him up the mountain suddenly became lively.
Although they doubted the authenticity of Gu Yan's words, what if they were true? There were less than ten of them together, and the two hundred kilograms of wild boars were divided equally according to the number of people. Each family could get more than ten kilograms of pork.
Who wouldn’t want this white meat?
It stands to reason that the wild boar was killed by the Gu family. It would be good for those of them who helped carry it down the mountain to get a pound or two. The Gu family is so generous, so they are naturally happy.
After Gu Mingda finished explaining, he left Gu Yan to follow the villagers back to the mountains, while he and Gu Zhao hurriedly chased Father Gu down the mountain.
The villagers were originally prepared to have only one wild boar cub, but when they saw a big wild boar lying in a pool of blood, they all became excited.
Only one villager, who was an Orion hunter, looked regretful and said: "It's a pity that the pig's head was smashed and so much pig blood was wasted..."
Immediately, a villager said: "Okay, okay, it's good if they can survive from the wild boar's mouth. How can we take care of this?"
At the foot of the mountain, Gu Mingda had made quite a fuss when he went into the mountain to look for someone. Except for a few people who were willing to accompany him to the mountain to look for someone, there were still some who were watching the fun.
Zhang Guangzong, a relative of the Gu family, was among the villagers watching the fun.
Granny Cai had a loud voice, and she was surrounded by a circle of tongue-tied women from the village.
"I have told you a long time ago that Niuniu is a disaster star. Whoever touches her will be unlucky. This time it will definitely be her. The second wife of the Gu family now has two sons. Now it's better. She is the disaster of them all." Mrs. Cai said When he said this, it was as if he was sure that Gu Yan and Gu Zhao would not be able to come back from the mountains.
"Is this kid really that evil?" someone asked in admiration.
Mrs. Cai immediately got excited and said, "If it weren't for this broom star, how could my Jinbao be harmed like that by her? Even now, her face still screams in pain from time to time."
On the day Niuniu was adopted by Zhang Yuniang, Jinbao secretly drank frangipani behind his family's back, but failed and burned himself instead. Because he was delayed for too long on the way to the town to see a doctor, even after spending a lot of money to buy medicine, there was still a scar on his face. Scars that are too obvious.
How could Mrs. Cai not feel distressed after waiting for so many years for her precious golden grandson to suffer so much.
She had long been accustomed to blaming all the unsatisfactory experiences in life on her former granddaughter. Some people agreed with Granny Cai, but naturally some people couldn't stand her and retorted on the spot: "Niuniu is only five years old, still a child. If she really has such great abilities, how come you Zhang family are still alive and well? Granny Cai, you are a lot older." Oh, you cursed your relatives, you are not doing a bad thing!"
Granny Cai recognized the old woman who refuted her as Mrs. Jin, Zhang Orion's wife.
Zhang Orion has always had a good relationship with the Gu family, and this time he accompanied Gu Mingda into the mountains to find someone.
"When your hunter son goes into the mountains and never comes out, you will know how evil Niu Niu is. Then I will see how you, an old woman, can support five grandchildren!"
Mrs. Cai said this with a sour tone. After all, she also envied the other party for having five grandchildren.
Mrs. Jin also had a bad temper. Seeing that Mrs. Cai dared to curse her son in front of her face, she was so angry that she rushed towards Mrs. Cai and stretched out her hand to scratch her face.
"I asked you, an old man, to curse my son! I'll kill you!" Mrs. Jin cursed.
Mrs. Cai hurriedly escaped and said: "Your own son is seeking death, and you come here to blame me! Who makes your family not believe in evil..."
The two women soon started fighting each other.
The head of the Zhang family was shocked when he saw this scene. These two people were both Zhang family's daughters-in-law. The fight made other people with foreign surnames in the village laugh. The patriarch did not dare to join the fight between the old ladies. , could only shout hoarsely from the side: "Okay, okay, stop fighting!"
But no one listened to him at all, and the two old ladies fought even more vigorously.
"You curse my son! Your son deserves to have his leg broken, and your grandson deserves to have his face burned!" Mrs. Jin scolded.
Not to be outdone, Mrs. Cai retorted: "Your son went into the mountains and never came back! Whoever goes in this time will be in bad luck! You can still laugh!"
Her words aroused public outrage. After all, Zhang Orion was not the only one who went to the mountain to help find someone. Adult men from seven or eight households present also went to the mountain to help.
In rural families, the adult male is the backbone of the family, and no one can survive this curse.
Several women quietly approached the two people who were fighting. On the surface, they seemed to be trying to break up the fight, but in fact they were tampering with Granny Cai during the melee.
One pulled a handful of hair, another pinched an arm, or stepped heavily on Granny Cai's feet.
Granny Cai screamed repeatedly: "Who pulled my hair! Who stepped on my feet!"
But all she faced were those who tried to persuade her, "Aunt Zhang, don't fight." In fact, they were trying to offend the country women, who were extremely powerful in fighting. She had been beaten countless times, but she still couldn't find her. To the enemy's house.
The melee continued until Father Gu came down the mountain. When everyone saw him holding Niu Niu, who had closed her eyes and didn't know what was going on, they all immediately surrounded her.
But Dad Gu was still confused and couldn't explain the reason at all. He just kept mumbling: "Find the doctor...find the doctor...save Niuniu..."
Gu Mingda was also asking the villagers around him: "Where is Uncle Niu? Where is Uncle Niu? We want to ask him to help deliver Niu Niu to the town!"
But Mrs. Cai was so happy when she saw this scene that she forgot about the scars all over her body and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, this broom star is covered in blood, she killed herself!"
No one answered Gu Mingda's question, but the relatives of the man who went to the mountain actually believed what Granny Cai said. They grabbed Gu Mingda and asked, "Gu Laoer, where is the head of my family? They went to the mountain with you. Now, Why are you the only ones out? "
Although Gu Mingda didn't know about Granny Cai's curse, he still patiently replied: "They are fine, they are just behind..."
Everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Niuniu, who had been unconscious all the way, suddenly opened her eyes: "Grandpa... why did you go down the mountain so quickly?"
Niu Niu's eyes were clear, and apart from her slightly pale complexion, she really couldn't tell where she was going to die.
Before Mrs. Cai had time to scold Niu Niu for her tough life, someone else came down from the mountain.
The men who had gone into the mountain came out, carrying a huge prey on their bodies, and all of them were beaming with joy.
Everyone also saw the thing they were carrying, and their eyes widened immediately.
