Chen Hu also came over and whispered: “Is it true? On our side, Uncle Ma and I cooperated to kill 2 wolves.”
Zhang Ze said: “How can it be false? I saw it with my own eyes.”
“She took a long knife, chopped a wolf, and shot a hidden weapon from behind, killing the other wolf.”
Chen Hu smacked his lips: “My goodness, the little girl looks pretty.”
Su Chen looked at Gu Fei thoughtfully.
Gu Fei stood up and planned to change clothes. Lian’er stood up quickly: “I’ll go boil water for the young lady.”
Mrs. Chen’s face was not very good, and she also blamed herself for not thinking about this. She said to Gu Qing and others: “Are you guys stupid? Seeing the sister like this, you still have to wait for the eldest aunt to say. Why don’t you hurry up and boil water so that your sister can wash her face and body!”
Gu Qing hurried to the mule cart to get a bucket of water, Gu Erlang set up the pot, Gu Sanlang added firewood, and Lian’er couldn’t help.
Xing’er looked at them with envy. It was good to have many brothers, but what was the point of having many sisters? They were all married and could not even see them.
The water was boiled soon, and Gu Fei washed her hair first. She had to wash it because there was a lot of wolf blood on her hair.
After washing her hair, Gu Fei got into the mule cart, and Lanzhi followed in. Lian’er brought a basin of hot water and put it in the cart.
Lanzhi lowered the curtain and took off Gu Fei’s clothes.
She had been watching Gu Fei through the man’s legs just now, fearing that something might happen to her. When she saw Gu Fei holding such a long knife and slashing at the wolf, her heart was in her throat.
While helping Gu Fei take off her bloodstained clothes, Lanzhi muttered: “Don’t do this kind of thing in the future. Let those men do it. Isn’t it better for a girl to embroider flowers?”
Gu Fei smiled bitterly: “I don’t want to, but I can’t.”
She had to protect her family.
She was exhausted from this life of risking her life with knives and guns. She just wanted to stay at home every day and be spoiled by her parents and brothers.
Lian’er twisted the handkerchief to wipe Gu Fei’s body. Gu Fei whispered: “It will be soon. When we get to the south, we can live a quiet life.”
Lian’er suddenly said: “Miss Xiao Fei, how about you teach me kung fu? I have learned to protect you.”
Gu Fei smiled at her: “I can’t teach this kung fu myself.”
They were all trained on the edge of life and death. There was no trick. It’s just killing people, oh no, killing zombies.
Gu Fei saw that Lian’er was a little disappointed, so she smiled and said: “How about I teach you to read?”
Lian’er twisted another handkerchief and wiped Gu Fei’s face while saying: “What’s the use of reading?”
Lanzhi said beside her: “It’s very useful. You can write letters and read books. Of course, the most important thing is that reading can make you wise.”
Lian’er shook her head: “I can’t use any of these.”
Who would she write to? There was no one at home.
Gu Fei thought for a while: “How about I teach you to count? Of course, you also need to recognize some simple words.”
Lian’er didn’t feel embarrassed to refuse again. Although she had no interest in reading and counting, since the lady asked her to learn, she would learn.
Gu Fei wiped herself clean and changed into her only apricot yellow and light green jacket and skirt. Mrs. Chen had washed it a few days ago when there was water.
Lanzhi took a handkerchief and twisted Gu Fei’s hair. After a few times, it was still half dry and half wet. Gu Fei grabbed her hair back and said: “Don’t bother. Just go near the fire and dry it.”
Lanzhi hurriedly pulled her back and said: “There are so many people outside. How can you appear in front of people with your hair disheveled?”

The use of water to wash is inconsistent with the drought along the way.
