Chapter 113: The value of money

Gu Fei looked at her helplessly: “What should I do? My hair is still wet. Should I comb it?”

“You can’t go out like this!” Lanzhi said and found a piece of cloth to wrap Gu Fei’s hair, and then let Gu Fei out.

Everyone outside was sleeping on the floor around the fire. Lian’er quickly opened the blanket. Mrs. Qian looked at her from the side and felt very unhappy.

When Lian’er was at her house, she was like a stick. She moved when she was called, and she didn’t move if she wasn’t called.

Why does she do everything, when she comes to Gu Fei’s house?

What a cheap bastard!

Uncle Ma also dealt with the two wolves that he and Chen Hu had killed. The wolf skins were given to the Eldest Uncle, and the wolf meat was taken off and put in a basin and given to Mrs. Chen.

When Mrs. Chen took the basin, she saw that all the surrounding eyes were staring at her.

She said calmly: “Everyone has worked hard to kill the wolf. Let’s divide the meat of the two wolves by head.”

“The rest was killed by my Xiao Fei. My family keeps it for ourselves.”

When Mrs. Qian heard that there was meat to be shared, she stood up first and reached into the basin without saying a word.

Mrs. Chen turned her back to her with the basin in her hand: “Auntie Liu, you are fair. Please share the meat with everyone.”

Auntie Liu took the basin with a smile: “Okay, then I’ll share it with everyone.”

“There are more than 100 kilograms of meat here. Everyone can enjoy it for a while.”

Each household had wolf meat to share, and they all happily brought the basin over.

Auntie Liu was quick to give each family a few pieces, and soon they were all shared.

Gu Fei secretly gave her father a few anti-inflammatory pills, and then she went to sleep.

Who knows if it was because of the fire or something else, but the wolf didn’t come again that night.

Gu Fei got up early and took a piece of wolf meat marinated yesterday, cut it into slices, fried it in a pan, and then sprinkled five-spice powder, chili powder, and cumin powder, which was fragrant.

Considering the two sick people, the old man and the county magistrate’s son, Gu Fei also specially fried a small plate without chili and spices.

Lian’er was chopping meat, while Li Chunhua was cutting vegetables. Her father was injured, so Gu Fei felt that he needed to eat meat to replenish his body. She would never admit that she was craving meat.

Breakfast was soon ready. A large pot of vegetable and lean meat porridge, a large plate of fragrant fried wolf meat, and white flour pancakes were placed on the wooden board.

Mrs. Chen first served porridge to Su Chen and the others, each of them served a large bowl, then to Uncle Ma, and finally to her family.

Su Chen held the bowl of porridge and took a bite of it politely. Then he raised an eyebrow. It tasted good. He picked up a piece of wolf meat and chewed it slowly. The wolf meat was fried to be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The meat was chewy and delicious.

The little girl was excellent at cooking. He glanced at Gu Fei. The little girl was picking up food for her father. Her eyebrows were curved and particularly beautiful.

Su Chen quickly retracted his gaze and concentrated on eating.

After breakfast, the water was boiled. Mrs. Chen asked Zhang Ze to bring the water bag over and fill all the water bags of several people. Then she picked up the medicine jar and poured the medicine boiled for Su Chen into the bowl to cool.

Zhang Ze took the water bag back and smiled at Su Chen: “Young Master, how is it? Is the 100 taels worth spending? Not only did we have food delicious, but we saved a lot of trouble!”

Su Chen nodded slightly: “When we get to Ping’an City, I’ll give her family some more silver.”

After breakfast, they packed up and set off.

The people were getting more and more frightened as they walked. After walking such a distance, they could see people lying on the side of the official road, motionless, and they didn’t know whether they were dead or alive.

Lanzhi walked closely to Gu Fei. As they walked, she suddenly screamed and hugged Gu Fei.

Gu Fei looked to the side and saw a wild dog gnawing on a corpse on the side of the road. The wild dog had dug open the man’s stomach, and his intestines were all over the ground.

Chapter 112: Isn’t embroidery good?

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?”

Chapter 111: Guillotine

Gu Fei said in a deep voice: “Hidden weapon.”

Uncle Ma raised his eyebrows: “What hidden weapon has such great lethality? The skull was smashed.”

Gu Fei said lightly: “Guillotine.”

If Gu Zhang had not been at the critical moment of life and death, she would not have taken out the gun.

This thing was not a joke.

Uncle Ma asked this, and Gu Fei instantly became suspicious. Looking at the people around, no one cared about what she used to kill the wolf. They had to take a detour when they saw the wolf’s corpse, not to mention observing the head of a dead wolf.

Even the two guards of the county magistrate’s family did not pay much attention to this and quickly went to guard next to his son, but Uncle Ma insisted on getting to the bottom of it.

This can only show that Uncle Ma was not an ordinary citizen.

Also, along the way, especially today, what Uncle Ma showed, was it just as simple as an outdated escort?

He serves as a guide for his family. Does he have other purposes?

Uncle Ma didn’t know that Gu Fei had already become suspicious of him, and he was still asking: “What is the Guillotine? Why have I never heard of it?”

Gu Fei smiled: “Our master has rules, so I can’t tell you.”

“Master? Do you have a master?”

Gu Fei smiled lightly: “Of course, I do, otherwise where would I get my kung fu from.”

“Then, I wonder what sect it is, and who is the master?”

Gu Fei looked at Uncle Ma and said slowly: “These are the secrets of the sect. Sorry, I can’t tell you.”

After that, Gu Fei walked over and asked her uncle to help deal with the wolf’s corpse.

The uncle came over with a knife. Gu Fei squatted beside him and watched Uncle Ma leave. While her uncle was not paying attention, she looked here and there and collected the bullets in the two wolf corpses and the shells on the ground and put them into space.

Watching the uncle peel off the wolf skin, Gu Fei asked: “Uncle, can wolf meat be eaten?”

The uncle smiled and said: “Why not? It tastes pretty good.”

Gu Fei was happy: “This wolf must be several dozen kilograms, enough to eat for a few days.”

Uncle Ma arranged for people to keep watch over there, including Zhang Ze, the eldest son of the uncle, Yougen, Gu Sanlang, and Zhang Laoda, and asked them to watch one direction each.

Uncle Ma specifically told Zhang Laoda: “Don’t take a nap anymore, this is not a joke if the wolf comes, you must immediately give a warning, remember.”

Zhang Laoda nodded repeatedly: “Don’t worry, this is a life-threatening matter, I won’t be careless.”

The uncle peeled the skins of the two wolves that Gu Fei had killed hung them to dry, and cut off the meat from the wolves piece by piece.

Lian’er also came to help, and the aunt took salt, got a basin, and marinated the wolf meat.

The eldest aunt suddenly looked at Gu Fei: “Xiao Fei, go wash your face and change your clothes. You are covered in blood, I’m afraid your clothes inside are also wet.”

Gu Fei then looked down at herself. It was true, she was covered in blood. It was scary to look at.

Su Chen and two guards were sitting next to her. Hearing this, he glanced at Gu Fei.

There were a few bloodstains on her face, and the white flowers on her shoulders and chest on her blue floral jacket and skirt had turned red.

It was really hard for this girl to still wear this dress.

Zhang Ze also looked at Gu Fei at this time and whispered: “This little girl is not simple. She killed both wolves by herself.”

Su Chen raised his eyebrows: “Her?”

He was sitting inside before and didn’t see anything.

Chapter 110: Beating

Uncle Ma shouted angrily: “Second Master Gu is injured like that, but you dare to say such a thing!”

“You are hoping for someone to die, right?”

Mrs. Qian cried out: “That’s not what I meant. I mean, it’s nothing serious.”

Uncle Ma said sternly: “I don’t want to argue with you, woman. I warn you, this is the last time. If there is a next time, whether Second Master Gu agrees or not, you and your family will travel by yourselves!”

Aunt Liu beside him snorted: “That’s right, so as not to drag everyone down!”

Aunt Huang sneered: “I have never seen a child like Bao’er. That’s right, with such a mother, you can raise such a child!”

Zhang Laoda’s wife, Mrs. Yu, also couldn’t help but say: “Seriously, no one cares about your family, but don’t drag us all to suffer together!”

Although Bao’er was only six or seven years old, he knew that everyone was talking about him.

When he saw that Uncle Ma had walked away, he glared and clenched his fists. He was not afraid of these women: “You stinky women, if you say anything about me again, I will let my mother beat you to death!”

Aunt Liu stood up: “You little bastard, believe it or not, I will beat you to death!”

At this time, Gu Zhong next to him suddenly rushed over, picked up Bao’er and threw him heavily to the ground, and then stepped on him without thinking.

He was still shouting: “I will beat you to death, I’ll beat you to death, you little beast, so as not to hurt others!”

Bao’er rolled on the ground and cried loudly.

Mrs. Qian was stunned for a moment, then rushed over to protect Bao’er, crying: “You hit me, don’t hit my Bao’er, I didn’t take good care of him. It’s all my fault, it’s all my fault!”

Gu Zhong kicked Mrs. Qian fiercely: “Do you think I don’t blame you?”

“If it weren’t for you spoiling your son like this, there would be no such thing!”

“You stinky woman, you can’t even teach your son well, what’s the use of you!”

Old Lady Gu was so anxious that she walked over quickly with a cane: “How can you beat a child like this? You don’t care about him at ordinary times, but now you beat him like this. You are so cruel. What if you hurt him? You only have this one son!”

“You will have to rely on him to support you in the future!”

Gu Fei looked at him coldly.

The wolf jumped out, maybe it was related to Baoer’s cry, or maybe it had nothing to do with it.

But Bao’er, this child, really has to be beaten.

But Gu Zhong was also a talent. All the mistakes were others’. As a father, he doesn’t know that it’s his fault if he doesn’t raise his child well!

Aunt Liu stood with her hands on her hips and watched. Several women beside her were silent. They also saw that Gu Zhong was cruel in beating Bao’er. It would be a bit unkind to add fuel to the fire.

Gu Zhong kicked several times and finally stopped.

The reason why he did this was that he couldn’t save face. Everyone blamed his family. Another reason was that he was really afraid that Uncle Ma would abandon his family. He would either be eaten by wolves or beaten to death by refugees.

Mrs. Qian lay on the ground and hugged Bao’er crying. She looked like the most miserable mother and son in the world.

Gu Fei was too lazy to watch anymore because of the noise. She put the knife on the mule cart and squatted beside her father. Her father was lying on the ground. He forced a smile at her and said in a low and hoarse voice: “I am fine, just a little skin broken.”

Gu Fei almost burst into tears. His neck was bitten to a bloody mess, but he said that it was only a little skin broken.

She nodded sullenly and suddenly saw Uncle Ma walk to the side, squatting on the ground and looking at the two wolves that Gu Fei had killed especially the broken wolf heads.

Gu Fei narrowed her eyes and hurried over.

Uncle Ma saw her coming and asked: “Xiao Fei, the sound just now was very loud. What did you use to kill the wolf?”

Chapter 109: Uncle Ma gets angry

There was still room for her Uncle to save Gu Zhang. Gu Qing and Gu Erlang were about to chop the wolf down with their knives in their hands.

But Gu Fei still raised her gun and fired several shots at the wolf’s head.

The wolf’s body stiffened, and it slid off Gu Zhang’s body and fell to the ground, eyes open, with one breath left.

Gu Fei hurried over: “Dad, how are you?”

Gu Zhang was speechless.

Gu Fei saw the bloody patch on her father’s neck.

She quickly took out the golden wound medicine she bought at the pharmacy and the clean cloth strips she had prepared earlier and threw them to Gu Qing: “Bring Dad inner side and apply the medicine!”

Gu Qing took the medicine bottle with a trembling hand and quickly pulled his father into the circle.

Gu Fei only took a glance and turned back.

Now was not the time to relax vigilance. Uncle Ma said that there were five or six wolves.

Gu Fei put away the gun, and she held the long knife tightly, still looking around vigilantly.

At this time, there was a commotion behind her, and Gu Fei guessed that wolves were running over there.

She didn’t move.

There was Uncle Ma and another guard of the county magistrate’s son, both of whom were good fighters, so she didn’t have to worry.

Her mission was to guard this side.

The women in the middle were all huddled together, especially when they saw the bloody mess on Gu Zhang’s neck, they were all scared, but at least they didn’t scream.

Only Aunt Liu, Mrs. Chen, and the eldest aunt were relatively calm.

Mrs. Chen helped Gu Zhang lie down, opened the medicine bottle, sprinkled the medicine powder on him, and then wrapped it with a cloth strip, while the eldest aunt and Aunt Liu helped beside her.

After bandaging the wound, Mrs. Chen asked Gu Zhang tremblingly: “Husband, are you okay?”

Gu Zhang waved his hand slightly, his heart was full of fear after surviving a disaster.

He felt that the wolf was about to bite his throat, but fortunately, his daughter hit the wolf with something, and the strength in the wolf’s mouth loosened immediately.

Two wolves also came from Uncle Ma’s side. He and Chen Hu worked together to kill both wolves in a short while.

After catching his breath for a while, Uncle Ma suddenly bent down and lay on the ground, listening to something. After listening for a long time, he stood up turned to everyone, and said: “The other two wolves should have left.”

“I don’t know if they will come again. This won’t work. We can’t hold on for a whole night.”

He said quickly: “Everyone hurry up and bring firewood over and light a circle of fire outside.”

The women crowded in the middle and didn’t move. Uncle Ma roared: “Why are you still standing there? Go and get firewood. Hurry up while the wolves are gone!”

There was a lot of firewood piled up around, which was picked up by each family and prepared to burn at night. It was already the end of October. It was too cold to light a fire in the wild without a pile of fire.

Uncle Ma walked around and directed everyone where to light the fire.

Several women walked around the wolf corpse on the ground in fear, while holding firewood with trembling bodies.

Uncle Ma didn’t stop until the fires lit around and formed a circle.

He suddenly saw Bao’er. He stared at him fiercely: “Were you the one who yelled just now? Didn’t you hear what I said before?”

Bao’er was so scared that he shrank behind his mother.

Mrs. Qian said quickly: “Uncle Ma, he is a little kid and doesn’t know anything. Besides, the wolf came, who wouldn’t be scared? It would be strange if he didn’t yell!”

Uncle Ma said coldly: “Is he the only little kid here? Why didn’t others yell, but he did?”

“I specifically gave an order at the beginning. But you, not only you don’t take good care of your child, you are still quibbling here!”

“If he hadn’t yelled just now, the wolves wouldn’t necessarily have pounced on us!”

Mrs. Qian felt wronged: “How can you blame Bao’er for this? Besides, the wolf was beaten to death, and no one died. Why are you still complaining?”

Chapter 108: There is another one

Gu Fei gently pried open her mother’s hand, pretended to pull out a knife from the mule cart, and walked to Uncle Ma. Uncle Ma quickly said: “The seven of us will separate and stand on each side. Listening to the sound just now, I estimate that there are five or six wolves, almost surrounding us.”

He raised his voice: “Once you find a wolf coming from somewhere, don’t move. Wolves are afraid of fire and may not come close.”

“If the wolf pounces, the few people here will be the main ones. If they don’t move, don’t move. If they move, the men of each family will help nearby. No matter what, just greet the wolves, but everyone should be careful not to chop people.”

He doesn’t expect these farmers to have high combat effectiveness. It was good enough if they could help without causing trouble.

“Also, the women of each family should take good care of the children. Don’t make noises or shout, so as not to distract the men. Did everyone hear it?”

“Clear.” Everyone responded trembling. Li Chunhua quickly buried Xiao Cao’s head in her arms.

Mrs. Qian hugged Bao’er tightly, her face pale.

Huzi leaned against his mother, not daring to breathe.

Gu Fei was almost in the middle, and there were several fires of other families outside. At this time, everyone gathered around the fire.

The men were holding machetes, hoes, sickles, and axes, and they were all looking around nervously.

Gu Fei held a bright long knife in her hand, and her eyes were fixed on the dark place in front.

Not far to her left was her uncle, and to her right was Zhang Ze at a distance.

Her father stood behind her, and there were several of her brothers beside her.

The fire only illuminated the near side, and there was a large area of ​​darkness around.

Gu Fei’s heart suddenly felt a hair, and she saw a wolf walking slowly, walking out of the darkness, stopping not far from the fire, and not moving.

A pair of eyes looked at the group of people indifferently, as if they had not yet decided whether to launch an attack.

The men standing outside all saw the wolf at this moment, and they clenched their weapons in their hands, not daring to breathe.

At this time, Bao’er was hugged by his mother and sat on the ground. From the gap between people’s legs, he saw the wolf not far away.

He suddenly screamed: “Wolf–”

Mrs. Qian hurriedly covered his mouth, and the women and children around looked at Bao’er, glaring at him.

Just then, the wolf, perhaps stimulated by the scream, suddenly moved.

It kicked its hind legs and pounced on the crowd.

Gu Zhang, Gu Qing, and others were all panicked, but they still remembered what Uncle Ma said, that if Gu Fei and the others didn’t move, they couldn’t move either.

Gu Fei stared at the wolf, watching it leap into the air, and swung the long knife in her hand violently, slashing from the wolf’s neck to its belly.

Wolf blood sprayed from the air, splashing all over Gu Fei.

The wolf fell and struggled to get up from the ground. Gu Fei stepped forward, bent down, and slashed at its neck again.

Just then, a shadow passed by Gu Fei.

Gu Fei was shocked, there was another one!

But she had just slashed the knife, and it was too late to stop, and behind her were her father and several brothers!

In a hurry, Gu Fei suddenly had a pistol in her other hand, and she shot at the shadow without even looking.

A gunshot rang out, and Gu Fei didn’t know if she had hit the wolf.

And the wolf in front of her was slashed in the neck by the long knife, cutting a cut, and blood was pouring out.

The wolf was also fierce and was still charging forward. Gu Fei aimed at the wolf’s head and shot it.

Then she no longer cared about the life or death of the wolf. She turned around and saw her father being bitten on the neck by the wolf.

Not far away, her uncle ran towards her father with a machete.
