Chapter 124 Eat the inside and outside
After walking for another hour, they were still some distance away from Qinglong Gorge, and then Uncle Ma told everyone to rest.
As usual, first collect firewood and light a circle around it, then surround the city with the mule cart, and light a fire in the center. Everyone will rest in the middle.
The fire was lit, illuminating all around.
At this moment, Gu Fei saw the miserable situation of everyone.
Gu Jinsheng, who lives in the village chief's house, is limping with one leg.
Uncle Gu Zhong had one arm hanging on his chest.
The eldest uncle’s shoulders were covered in blood.
Each one seems to be a defeated soldier returning from the battlefield.
As soon as Chen set up the pot, Qian suddenly came over and said in a loud voice: "Brother and sister, my family's food has been robbed. Please lend me some."
Chen's hands froze, and here she was. What she had been worried about along the way finally came to pass.
It doesn’t make sense if you don’t borrow her. This is Gu Zhang’s brother and sister-in-law.
It goes without saying that if you borrow something, you won’t have to pay it back.
Aunt Liu looked at this and hesitated to speak. After thinking about it, she decided to forget it. It was not easy for an outsider to get involved in the matter between the two brothers.
At this time, the old lady hurriedly said to Chen: "Why are you still standing there? I see there are two bags of flour in the car. Just give me one bag."
What does it mean to eat everything inside and out?
The old lady is a typical example!
Eating her food, but also giving her food to others!
She didn’t say to give coarse grains, but said to give flour!
Gu Fei opened his mouth several times and swallowed the words again.
This is Gu Zhang's brother and sister-in-law. It's hard for others to speak.
Gu Zhang said in a deep voice: "My family doesn't have much food. Everyone knows it. Mr. Su and others eat at my house, so I have to keep this flour for them."
“Sister-in-law, it’s not impossible to borrow it. I still have half a bag of millet, which is enough for your family to eat all the way to Huainan County.”
“Ms. Chen, give it to her.”
Qian felt unhappy after hearing this. She obviously had flour but gave her millet. What does that mean? You must know that flour is a fine grain and millet is a coarse grain. Flour is usually three times the price of millet.
She had borrowed it and had no intention of paying it back. Naturally, she wanted flour. She couldn't help but mutter, "Can the three of them eat so much flour?"
Gu Fei finally couldn't help it anymore and wanted flour even after getting it for nothing!
She said quietly: "Uncle, you haven't said yet when you will pay back the grain you borrowed."
"My family will lend you a tael of silver and I will pay it back to you in an hour."
When Qian heard what Gu Fei said, she opened her mouth and said, "You **** girl, you have no right to interrupt when the master is talking—"
As she finished speaking, Qian suddenly remembered that Gu Fei killed people, killed wolves, and killed countless bandits today. Her cheeks twitched a few times and she hurriedly said: "Xiao Fei, that's not what I meant, that's right. —”
Gu Fei looked at her coldly, "Food is so valuable now that it is a life-saving thing. I must have seen how many people died trying to grab food along the way."
“The eldest uncle said it lightly, borrow—”
Lian'er summoned up the courage to respond from the side, "That's right, your family doesn't have any money. Shanzi's family ran out of food a few days ago, but they bought it with money."
The two of them sang together, and Qian's face turned red as she talked about it. She stared at Lian'er, a girl she bought, and she actually dared to choke with her!
The old lady became anxious at this time and scolded Lian'er, "Shut up, you have no right to speak!"
She turned to look at Chen again, "Didn't you hear what the second brother said? Go and get it quickly!"
Chen silently took out half a bag of millet from the mule cart, put it on the ground, and went to cook.
