Help! I just woke up and was stabbed by a big kid

Excluding the countless tiny particles of silver, the total amount was ten taels of silver, two strings of silver coins, and sixteen copper coins.

Even if we take away Gu Xu's four taels, the amount is still quite large. Gu Yue was surprised that Gu Dashi was not completely over the top in gambling and didn't squander all his family fortune.

It may be related to the origin of the silver. In Gu Dashi's memory, this silver was saved little by little from the New Year's money, and some of it was saved by Gu's father and mother for him to marry a wife. After the Gu family got into trouble, Gu Dashi hid all the remaining silver in this pocket, stuffed it in a rat hole, and never took it out to look at it again.

Even though Gu Dashi is a bastard... there is something pitiful about bastards.

Gu Yue didn’t feel much sympathy, he just felt that this life story made him a sadistic male protagonist… Well, there was an even bigger and more ready-made sadistic male protagonist standing next to him.

"And..." Seeing that he finally looked over, Gu Xu put the string of money that had not been given out back on the bed, "Uncle Beideng only took the money for the medicine, he didn't want the rest."

Gu Yue felt a little blocked in his heart.

What an honest child! He keeps some pocket money for himself.

However, it can also be seen that the male protagonist has an upright character. It is all Gu Dashi's fault that he has become like this, swinging a hoe to kill people.

Gu Yue put the half a dollar into the pile of money, and it became two hundred and forty copper coins.

He opened the whole string of coins again and took out 400 coins, a full handful, and put them into Gu Xu's money box. The remaining copper coins were strung together, totaling more than 800 coins, which should be enough for a trip to town tomorrow.

"You can use these as pocket money. Just buy whatever you want on a daily basis. It's up to you." Gu Yue said, pushing the drawer and the pile of medicines back in front of Gu Xu.

Four hundred coins is not a small amount. Should I say that Gu Yue had no idea, or that this amount of money was nothing for Gu Xu's pocket money? Anyway, Gu Xu was surprised.

It’s not that he didn’t expect Gu Yue to give him money, but he didn’t expect him to give so much.

Is this a gesture of goodwill? Or does this person have no clear understanding of the expenses of ordinary farmers?

Gu Xu did not object, but just watched him organize things silently.

Gu Yue strung more than 800 coins together and wrapped them into a cloth together with the loose silver coins of unknown weight.

"Take this silver and weigh it tomorrow to get the whole amount," said Gu Yue.

However, Gu Yue's mood improved and he forgot himself a little. He just raised his arm and felt the stitches that were numb from pain tugged.

"Hiss——! Hey——" Gu Yue almost jumped up.

Blood began to seep out of the simple wrapping cloth again.

Gu Yue felt so painful that she wanted to cry. Actually, the wound didn't hurt that much, but the needles the doctor inserted hurt a lot.

In this state, can you still go to town?

But he had already agreed on the itinerary with Gu Xu. If he didn't go, wouldn't he have to drag around in these tattered clothes and eat tasteless brown rice for several days?

It was not long after the Chinese New Year, but there was not even a piece of meat left in this family. The couplets on the gate were posted many years ago and have faded to gray, which is out of tune with the scattered red paper in the village.

Gu Xu certainly didn't have a good meal, let alone new clothes.

Although he had some savings, how could he spend it under Gu Dashi's nose?

"Dad, your arm is not convenient, you should go in a few days."

Gu Xu suddenly said. He also saw Gu Yue's abnormality just now. Under the candlelight, the red bandage on his arm was quite conspicuous. But Gu Yue didn't want to let Gu Xu make do with it like this.

"It's nothing serious. We are really out of food at home. If we don't go to town to buy some, we will starve to death at home." Gu Yue said, "I just need to be careful and don't move around."

Gu Xu took the basket left by Uncle Beideng to the wooden bed. There was a small cotton quilt covering the basket, but before he opened it, Gu Yue smelled a very fragrant smell of noodles, and his stomach immediately made a series of "gurgling" sounds.

It was so embarrassing that Gu Yue wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"I've checked. Uncle Beideng gave us a lot of cakes, enough to last for several days." Gu Xu lifted the quilt, revealing a basket full of golden cakes.

Gu Yue knew this kind of food. When he was a child, he would receive a lot of fried food donated by people from nearby villages during the Chinese New Year. This kind of pancake was the most common, and it was called "Youxiang".

Since it requires a lot of frying, even in modern times, this kind of complicated food is only made during the New Year.

Gu Xu took a pancake out of the basket, tore it in half, and handed half to Gu Yue.

Gu Yue took it. He was also very hungry. It was fragrant and oily, a little sour and astringent than what he had eaten before, but it seemed to be more chewy and more delicious than anything he had eaten before.

What is rare is that the inside is made of white flour. In this day and age, white flour is something that only wealthy families can enjoy. Even during the New Year, rural people only mix white flour with yellow flour, or use only yellow flour. Gu Yue knows that opening a clinic can make money, but is it so profitable?

Of course, half a pancake could not fill Gu Yue's current body, but it could effectively shut his mouth.

However, although he didn't feel full at all, Gu Yue still ate one and a half pancakes before stopping. The basket was not big at all, and there were probably only about ten pancakes. He could finish them all at once, but what about Gu Xu?

"I think we should go to town tomorrow." Gu Yue drank the water that Gu Xu brought him. "How can you eat this stuff like this? Eat another one."

As he said this, he stuffed a cake into Gu Xu's hand and frowned as if he was unhappy.

Gu Xu ate slowly. Although he didn't often eat such food, he didn't seem to be wolfing it down or anything like that. His movements were steady and a little... elegant?

"It's not impossible to not move around." Gu Xu swallowed a mouthful of biscuit, his eyes became innocent, like a child seeking advice from his father: "But that yellow rat, doesn't he live in the town? If he causes trouble for us again, can you beat him?"

"..." Gu Yue was speechless.

He had all his limbs intact today, so he was able to relax for a while when facing the yellow rat. If one of his arms was broken, he wouldn't even be able to strangle someone.

The more he thought about it, the more unreliable it seemed. The beating he got was secondary. What if Huang Lao Shu hired someone to kidnap Gu Xu? What if his money was stolen?

"...That's for safety reasons. Let's wait until my arm gets better before going." Gu Yue compromised.

The corners of Gu Xu's mouth curved up a centimeter, then disappeared. This man was very easy to talk to.

"Well. I'm going to rest. Dad will call me if you need anything." Gu Xu hung the basket on the hook hanging from the beam to prevent rats.

"Okay... wait a moment!" Gu Yue quickly stopped him.

"What's wrong?" Gu Xu looked at him.

"Where do you sleep?" Gu Yue asked.

He then remembered that the bedroom was originally a side room, and the rooms on the left and right of the main hall were filled with miscellaneous items, making it impossible to step in. Gu Dashi occupied the side room as a living room because he was afraid that seeing the things would remind him of someone, and Gu Xu...

Gu Dashi had never forbidden Gu Xu to enter this bedroom. Gu Yue had completely forgotten about it. And as for Gu Xu's life or death... Gu Dashi had never cared about it.

"I sleep in the warehouse." Gu Xu looked into Gu Yue's eyes, it was really strange, they were a pair of eyes with exactly the same outline, how could they express such completely different emotions?

Is this person feeling sorry for him?

"Dad, have you forgotten that you forced me to sleep in the warehouse. You made me become acquainted with mice." Gu Xu's expression changed again, with an expression of being aggrieved but not being able to speak, and his brows were furrowed.

Huh? Is that true?

Gu Yue first believed it completely, and then searched for relevant fragments in Gu Dashi's memory. However, Gu Dashi certainly didn't care where Gu Xu slept, and had no memory of these words.

Looking at Gu Xu's humble look, Gu Yue...
