Chapter 23 23 Gifts
Wu Bo blushed and didn't know how to explain it. Grandma Wu coughed uncomfortably: "We came back from Ma Po's house the other day and happened to encounter a scar, and he helped us."

"There was a lot of trouble at home the first few days, and we didn't have anything good, so we didn't come to the door."

"I'm lucky today. If I hunted a rabbit, I'll send half of it there as a token of my affection."

"Scar hunts a lot, and probably doesn't care much about hares, but it's all about our hearts."

Wu Bo hurriedly responded: "I'll learn later, and after peeling the skin, I'll send half of it to Scar."

Grandma Wu nodded: "Chop another leg and freeze it for Chinese New Year's day, and pickle the rest and eat it slowly after air-drying."

Wu Bo was stunned for a moment, and replied: "Got it, mother."

Zhao Lian hesitated and said: "Mother, don't you want to exchange food?"

Grandma Wu shook her head: "If you don't change it, give it to the children."

Several granddaughters, all with withered hair and sallow faces, are shorter than children of the same age and as thin as chickens. If they don't eat some meat, she is worried that they will not grow up.

If the family has some money, they can go to the brigade to borrow food, and there is no shortage of food for the time being.

It is important to nourish the children's health. Only when the health is good can we talk about other things.

Wu Bo and Zhao Lian were silent. They also knew that they had treated the girls badly, but the family was poor, and the first thing they had to worry about was how to survive, so they chose to ignore the children's hopeful eyes.

After hearing this, the girls were full of joy, and rushed to Grandma Wu to act like a baby, calling Grandma the best.

Grandma Wu smiled and rubbed their heads, telling them to study quickly.

The fourth girl didn't dare to delay at all, she ran away with a rattle, her enthusiasm for learning was unprecedentedly high.

Wu Bo and Zhao Lian looked at it, shook their heads and laughed.

The girls went out, and Wu Bo didn't dare to stay longer, so he ran to Wang Shangui's house with the rabbit.

Afraid of being slow, Zhao Lian dragged her to question him.

Zhao Lian felt that Wu Bo's reaction was a bit abnormal, but she didn't take it to heart.

She turned her head and called Grandma Wu: "Mother..."

"Then what, Xiaolian, hurry up and cook, it's getting late."

Zhao Lian...

Looking at the sky outside, it's quite early.

Seeing that Grandma Wu seemed to be very busy, Zhao Lian went to the kitchen in a daze.

Grandma Wu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and turned her head to meet Xiya's bright eyes.

The old face stiffened for a moment.

But the little bud started giggling happily.

Grandma Wu couldn't laugh or cry, she nodded her little nose: "This is our secret, do you know?"

"Ah..." I know.

Wu Bo cleaned up the rabbit, it was already dark.

Carrying half of the rabbit, he rushed to the halfway up the mountain at the end of the village in the dark.

At this point, every household is nestled in their own homes, and few people go out.

The village is poor, and no one keeps dogs. Along the way, there are fewer and fewer residents, and it feels more and more quiet.

Wu Bo is not afraid, but he is panicked by the cold. He seldom comes here, and he is not familiar with the roads, so he stumbles.

After finally walking to the mountainside, I found the direction in my memory and went to Dao Scar's house.

When he saw the broken thatched house hidden in the woods, before he had time to be happy, he was frightened by a dog barking and stopped suddenly.

A gray-black wolfhound weighed a hundred catties, tall, mighty and ferocious, and rushed straight towards Wu Bo.

Wu Bo froze with fright, thinking about how to avoid it.

"Tiger, come back." Scar stood in front of the house and shouted.

The tiger stopped for a moment, looked at Wu Bo coldly, turned back and sat down next to Dao Scar, staring at Wu Bo unblinkingly, always vigilant, an absolute loyal guard.

Tiger is Scar's dog. He usually doesn't go down the mountain, but is always active on the mountain. Not many people in the village know about it.

Scar is also afraid that people will know, the idea of ​​beating dog meat.

Because of the reputation, no one would come here. For so many years, it has been peaceful.

He didn't expect that Wu Bo would come over suddenly.

Scar looked at Wu Bo in silence.

Wu Bo regained his composure and took a few steps forward.

The tiger gave a low warning howl, Wu Bo could only stop obediently.

Raising half of the rabbit in his hand, he said to Dao Scar: "Brother Dao Scar, we made a trap this afternoon and caught a rabbit."

"In order to thank you for your life-saving kindness before, my mother specially asked me to send half of them over to express my heart."

Scar glanced at the rabbit, and looked away coldly: "No, take it away." He turned his head and was about to enter the house.

Wu Bo hurriedly walked two steps, and was warned by the tiger again, so he could only stand still and say, "Wait, Brother Scar, wait a minute, I know you don't need this food, but this is our heart."

"If it weren't for you, our family would be over. My newborn little girl is cute and sensible, and she has a bright future. If it weren't for you, she would have a chance. We can't rest in peace even if we die, so we are true. very grateful."

"When we went back that day, my mother and I were ill, and my mother almost died. In addition, the family didn't have anything to sell, so I delayed until now to be grateful."

"But don't get me wrong. I said this not to gain sympathy, but to thank you. The things are not worth anything. It's just a heart. We really want to thank you."

Scar paused, then turned around and asked, "Son, are you alright?"

Wu Bo hurriedly smiled and said: "Thank you for remembering, the child is fine, when the weather is warmer, I'll bring it for you to see, okay?"

Scar pursed his lips, his face in the dark night was a little stiff.

Everyone avoids him and treats him like a scourge.

Never thought that the Wu family would dare to hug the child to him.

However, no one knew that a man with such a vicious reputation really had no resistance to children.

Especially that brave little girl.

Wu Bo didn't know that when he picked up the child, he was on the cliff.

If he didn't find the little girl, he would take him home after he left.

Unfortunately, there is no fate between him and the little girl.

But fortunately, there is no fate, following the Wu family is better than following yourself.

The Wu family is kind, the little girl will definitely have a good life.

"No need." Leaving two cold words, he turned his head and entered the room.

Wu Bo wanted to chase, but he dared not move under the watchful eye of the tiger, so he could only sigh.

He planned to leave, but he didn't expect Scar to come out again.

Walking up to Wu Bo, took the rabbit meat from him, and stuffed a few wild eggs into it: "Let's go."

Then he entered the house without looking back, and never came out again.

Wu Bo was stunned for a moment, shook his head and smiled, and walked down the mountain to go home under the moonlight.

When he turned his head, he saw the tiger following him not too far away, secretly guessing that it should be sending him off.

Smiling helplessly, after arriving at the foot of the mountain, the Tiger stopped moving forward, so he waved his hand: "Thank you Tiger, go back quickly."

The tiger rolled his eyes, turned his head and returned to the mountainside.

Wu Bo clicked his tongue in surprise, quite human.

I went home with a happy mood.

Not long after he left, Li Xiwa came out from behind the tree, looked at his back with gloomy eyes, then looked at the mountainside, spat before leaving.

The heavy snow continued to clear for two or three days, and then began to fall sparsely again.

Wu Bo followed Wang Qiangguo and the others to check the trap several times, but unfortunately there were no more prey.

Everyone is not disappointed, they are very satisfied.

But Li Xiwa didn't join them again, and everyone kept silent about him.
