Chapter 12 Getting the Orb

Shao Guang's daughter-in-law from the next door poked her head out from the yard, and asked suspiciously, "Aunt Shao, where did Gu Li go this early in the morning?"

In the past two days, she could always smell the delicious smell of meat, and also heard some laughter.How can the old, weak and young in this family live better than their own?
"No, Gu Li went down the mountain yesterday, so I was in a hurry to have a look."

The fact that Gu Li caught pheasants and ducks almost spread throughout Zhuangzi because of the Shao Xiaowen incident.However, most people still think that Gu Li's temperament changed drastically because he was stimulated by the news of Shao Ting's death.

"Aunt Shao, when did Gu Li learn to hunt? I don't think he is inferior to Brother Shao Ting before."

Looking at Shao Guang's daughter-in-law's probing eyes, Mrs. Shao pursed her lips, feeling a little displeased.

There is nothing wrong with Shao Guang's daughter-in-law, but this gossip is really annoying.Normally, the two families don't have any great friendship, but they came to listen to the news when they spoke this early in the morning.

Really free!

"No, the second child is gone, so we have to stand up for ourselves. Our family is old and young, and we only count on such a strong laborer like her!"

After the old lady Shao finished speaking, she put the broom in the corner and said, "Daughter-in-law Shao Guang, I won't talk to you anymore. Gu Li has made breakfast, and I have to eat it with Da Mao and the others while it's hot."

"Well, you have to eat it while it's hot!"

Turning around and walking down the wooden ladder, he spat hard,
"Bah! What are you pretending to do! Gu Li said that there is nothing in the sky and there is nothing under the earth, maybe one day he will go to have a good time by himself. Serving this big family is not a fool."

No, she had to tell their family Shao Guang earlier, don't run out of food by then, it would be bad to go to their house to borrow food.

It was true that he stayed up all night to make a bamboo stool yesterday, but Gu Li was not sleepy at all at this time.The air in the mountains in the morning is very fresh and refreshing.

There is a super bait specially made by the space, and it is expected that they will not return empty-handed. Unexpectedly, three rabbits and two pheasants have been harvested from just three traps.

The nylon rope is quite strong, and there is no way for these wild animals to escape even if they want to escape.After struggling for a long time, he was already on the verge of death, so Gu Li lifted it up without much effort, and tied it tightly.

As soon as they reached the approximate range of the last trap, there was a burst of wailing.

Gu Li was taken aback, is this a fox?

Sure enough, a red fox about seven or eight catties in the nylon rope grinned at her.

The red fox's abdomen is swollen high, and it should be about to give birth. Facing the ignorant future, its eyes are faintly sad.But I still want to try my best to protect my children.

Gu Li was stunned for a moment, and stepped forward without hesitation.When the red fox saw her approaching, the despair in his eyes became even worse, and he waved his paws desperately.

"I will untie the rope for you, and I won't hurt you."

The red fox seemed to understand people's words, and unexpectedly stopped struggling and calmed down.

Gu Li untied the nylon rope, then took out some luncheon meat from the space, and said, "Eat more if you like it, and give birth to your baby safely when you are full!"

The red fox hesitated for a moment, then quickly ran away with the luncheon meat in its mouth.

Gu Li thought for a while and removed the trap.

The harvest was already abundant enough, and she didn't need to continue hunting.

In the past two days, the light has been spinning in Shaojiazhuang.Still have time to wander around.See what you can do to make a living and make good money.

It is impossible for a person like her who has traveled through the new era to survive in this ancient times.

Walking on the mountain road home, Gu Li's keen ears caught some unusual sounds.It is impossible for a human to do this, so the only possibility is an animal.

As an atheist, she doesn't believe in ghosts.

Could it be that the large mammalian animals regard themselves as a meal on the plate?

Thinking of this, Gu Li clenched the machete tightly.Observe and observe first, and you can hide in the space to escape if necessary.

"Ouch!"

Gu Li walked faster and faster, as if he was about to fly.When she felt that she had left the movement behind, there was a familiar cry.

This is, the red fox just now?
Gu Li turned around, and sure enough, he saw the red fox with a bulging belly, slowly walking towards her step by step.

There is something vaguely in its mouth, and its white teeth are exposed, which actually looks a bit creepy.

The red fox stood a foot in front of her, and yelled again at the position of her hand.

"Are you asking me to reach out?" Gu Li asked suspiciously, but the red fox nodded.

Animals are also spiritual. In the past, she actually liked getting along with animals more than people.So she was not afraid of this, but really stretched out her right hand.

A white bead the size of a fist lay quietly in the palm of the hand, and the lines inside the bead were actually flowing.Even during the day, the beads give off an eye-catching brilliance.Presumably at night, it must be as bright as day.

It is said that foxes always like to collect shiny things, and it seems to be true.So the red fox is repaying the favor of not killing?

"Give it to me?"

The red fox nodded slightly after listening to her words, then turned and left.

There was a surprise today!Based on the fineness of this bead, it must be able to exchange for a lot of silver taels.

Gu Li put the beads away carefully, glanced at the direction where the red fox was leaving, and shouted: "Thank you!"

The three little ones were having fun playing with the spinning top in the yard. Seeing that it was still early, Gu Li planned to go to Shao Fugui's house.

In the past, I didn't have much contact with the villagers, but now it's different.In this village, she only has a little friendship with Shao Fugui's family, and his family is also a big family in the village. For the sake of Mrs. Shao and the triplets, she should try her best to build a good relationship.

"I'm going to Shuanzi's house, do you want to go together?"

Gu Li picked up a rabbit and planned to send it to Shuanzi's house.Yesterday I asked Shuanzi's father, Shao Fugui, to help sell the wild game. I don't know if Fuzhi Restaurant has taken it?
There are a few more here right now, but it's not convenient to take them with them for the time being.Just go and see the situation first, and then make plans.

The three little ones look at me and I look at you, obviously they all want to go out.

Mrs. Shao, who squinted her eyes to thread the needle at the door, said, "If you want to go, go with Auntie!"

In fact, she also has her plan.The fact that the triplets have no father and no mother is known to the entire Shaojiazhuang.There was no need to mention it before, but now, with Gu Li taking care of them, everyone in the village should see it.

Besides, in the past, the triplets always liked to guard her old woman every step of the way, and they hardly played with the children in the village.But it is better to walk around more with the children in the village.

When Da Mao heard Mrs. Shao's words, he said sensiblely: "Let Ermao and Sanmao go! I will stay at home with grandma."

Er Mao glanced at Gu Li quickly, and said seriously: "Then I will stay too, and I can help grandma get the needles!"

Sanmao didn't speak, but obviously wanted to go out with her.He held the spinning top in his arms with one hand, and clutched the corner of his clothes with the other, struggling in his eyes.

Gu Li made a final decision: "The three of you follow me! It's not too far away, let's go back early."

In the end, she stepped forward and took the needle and thread from Mrs. Shao's hands, put it on in a blink of an eye, and handed it back to her, telling her, "Mother, don't make any more patches. Hurry up and we will make new ones."

Mrs. Shao smiled and said yes, but her hands started to work again.
