Gu Rin's farming life

With the light of dawn, you can gradually see the true appearance of the mountains and forests. The mountains and forests in early winter are bleak everywhere, with jagged branches, scarce leaves, and even the weeds on the ground are lifeless.

The weather was cold, and the animals seemed too lazy to go out. The whole forest was silent and desolate.

With the cat in her arms, Gu Lin carefully walked down the stream.

He is already in the depths of the mountain forest, and the grass is luxuriant. Although the grass has been withered and barren because of the winter, the fallen leaves are piled up on the grass. If you step on it, it may be empty, especially if there are a few others. Even though it is a small slope, Gu Lin dare not be careless.

The cat despised his carefulness and scratched his chest.

"Hmm." The position where the kitten scratched was too sensitive, Gu Lin snorted, reached out and patted the demon kitten, "Don't make trouble."

Hmph, even touching my noble head, the kitten scratched it angrily again.

"Don't make trouble." Gu Lin was scratched by him, staggered, and almost fell down the slope in front of him. Fortunately, he had quick eyes and hands and quickly grabbed the tree trunk next to him so he didn't fall down the hillside.

With such a big movement, the cat rolled out of its arms, and the kitten felt its sharp claws hanging on Gu Lin's clothes, so it didn't throw it out, but Gu Lin's ordinary sackcloth had two more holes in an instant.

Gu Lin stabilized his figure, and just wanted to educate the kitten, but felt that the hand felt weird. Looking closely, it turned out that there was a layer of soft things growing on the tree trunk he was grasping, and his hand happened to be there. Some of the softer things on top of the layer had already been scratched by him.

The whole is ear-shaped, with wavy edges, about three to ten centimeters wide, and about two millimeters thick. The short handle on the side is attached to the trunk, and the color is dark brown.

"Agaric?" Gu Lin had eaten fungus, but he hadn't seen the fungus that hadn't been picked, so he couldn't help being a little curious. He looked at this bunch of fungus several times, stretched out his hand and pinched it, the texture was soft and gelatinous Shaped, thin and elastic, some look a little translucent.

The more you pinch, the better it feels, Gu Lin couldn't help pinching it several times.

The kitten has already climbed onto Gu Lin's shoulder along the clothes. It found a good position on Gu Lin's shoulders, and its paws still grabbed the clothes on the shoulders.

Seeing Gu Lin's stupid way of ravaging the fungus, its radiant eyes are full of disgust, this slave is so stupid that he can't bear to look directly at it.It couldn't help but raised a paw to cover its eyes.

Gu Lin didn't know how his majesty the cat disliked him. Now he was a little worried about how to get rid of these fungus. If it was before, a bag would have done it.

But now in the deep mountains and old forests, let alone bags, even the bigger ones have no leaves.

Gu Lin thought about it, why don't you just take the whole log away?

He almost wanted to praise his wit, and kicked the tree trunk with his foot.

The tree trunk didn't move at all, but the kitten on the shoulder didn't notice and was thrown out.

"Idiot!" The kitten fell to the ground in a mess, its glazed eyes were full of anger, this idiot must be taught a lesson today!

The kitten sprang up, climbed up Gu Lin's shoulder along the clothes, stretched out its claws and scratched at Gu Lin's neck, leaving a few clear scratches on Gu Lin's neck in an instant.

"I was wrong, I was wrong." Gu Lin admitted his mistake decisively, shrinking his neck and tearing the cat off.

"Hmph!" The kitten caught in his hand was still baring its teeth and claws, trying to rush up to teach Gu Lin a lesson.

"Okay, don't be angry, don't be angry." Gu Lin grabbed the cat and kissed the furry head, "Be careful next time."

"Do you want to have a next time?" The kitten's eyes were wide open, staring straight at Gu Lin, as if trying to threaten him with its eyes, but unfortunately the furry cat's face and round eyes were not threatening at all, but instead made Gu Lin I couldn't help but kiss again, "I promise there will be no next time."

"Stupid." The kitten snorted and flicked its tail, expressing its forgiveness for this stupid slave.

Gu Lin put the cat in his arms and tugged at his clothes to make sure it wouldn't fall out again, before reaching out and pushing the wood covered with fungus.

Although the wood is covered with fungus, the wood is not completely rotted, only the surface is rotted. Without tools, it is almost impossible to push the wood back and take it away.

Gu Lin tried several times, but he really had no choice but did not intend to waste time, so he took off all the fungus on the top, lifted the hem of his clothes, and wrapped the fungus around.

The clothes on her body were not long. After lifting them up, the cold wind kept pouring into her stomach. Gu Lin flinched and walked down the mountain at a faster speed.

=============

The Gu family at the foot of the mountain was full of gloom.

Old man Gu squatted at the door and smoked a dry cigarette. His old face was faintly visible in the lingering smoke. The hardships of life and the traces of the years crawled onto his face, making him look ten years older than his peers.

Mrs. Gu was sitting in the main room with a baby in her arms, and there was a bowl of rice soup next to it. The rice soup was not sticky, and even looked a little clear.

Mrs. Gu took the spoon and fed the child in her arms one mouthful at a time.

The child may be very hungry, opening and closing his small mouth, eating happily.

Seeing the child eating so vigorously, Mrs. Gu was not happy but worried, "Old man, there is not enough polished rice at home."

"I'll buy some more when I go to fetch medicine for Da Lang tomorrow." Old man Gu tapped the pipe in his hand, "The doctor said Da Lang should drink some porridge. Da Lang is sick and he can't stand brown rice porridge."

"But old man, I don't have much money at home, and I have to buy medicine tomorrow." Mrs. Gu said with deep worry, "I'm afraid I don't have enough money to buy polished rice."

Old man Gu took a deep puff of his cigarette, his old face was hidden behind the thick smoke and his expression could not be seen clearly, "I'll go out and take a look."

"Sigh." Mrs. Gu sighed, "Who else can I borrow from?"

Old man Gu froze and didn't say a word, he could only smoke silently.

Mrs. Gu looked at the infant child, and there was a flash of struggle in her eyes. After thinking about the eldest son lying in the house, she still became ruthless, "Old man, Mrs. Xiao from West Village said yesterday that there is a family in the town who wants to adopt a girl." , Said that he wanted someone with no memory and a clean net worth, look, we big girl..."

"Don't even think about it!" Old man Gu glared at Mrs. Gu, "Everyone knows that Mrs. Xiao is doing the immoral thing of cutting off children and grandchildren, why don't you think about our granddaughter being pushed into the fire pit?"

"Why is this a pit of fire?" Mrs. Gu was anxious, "I found out clearly that the couple's family is well-off. They have been married for many years, and they don't even have a man and a half woman under their knees. That's why they want to adopt a little girl."

"I think you are getting more and more confused as you get older. You said that you want to adopt a child. There are many children in the shantang. Why did they come to our small mountain village to find some children?"

"Then maybe they just want to find someone with a clean fortune?" the great-aunt said dully.

"Since you want to get married, why don't you adopt a baby boy so that you can take care of them in the future? Why do you want to adopt a little girl?" Old man Gu hated iron and steel. This wife is good at everything, but she is not smart enough. , this old lady Xiao is obviously lying to her.

In recent years, there have been fewer natural disasters, and the sale of children and daughters is relatively rare.

The old lady Xiao is a child. In the past, she was relatively restrained. The children she sold were all children that poor families could not support. But in recent years, there have been fewer people selling children and daughters, and her income has decreased, so she started to do it. The thing about abduction is coming.

But she didn't dare to do anything to the children from all over the world, for fear of being beaten to death, and the abducted were all children from remote places.

Many people knew that what she was doing was human trafficking, but firstly, there was no evidence, and secondly, the villagers in the west were fierce and ganged up against others, so no one could deal with her. They could only take good care of their own children to prevent being trafficked.

Although she didn't dare to do anything to children from all over the world, she could fool her. She often fooled some old men and old ladies, and those who didn't have a baby girl would usually be fooled into selling their children to her.

"Maybe people like girls more?" Mrs. Gu still refused to give up. The family is too difficult, and there are many children who open their mouths.

"Enough!" Old man Gu couldn't help getting angry, "Da Lang's daughter-in-law has just left, and you are going to sell her child. How will you explain to her natal family in the future, and how will you face Da Lang?"

"Why are you yelling at me?" Mrs. Gu was also angry, and she was also sad, but in her heart, her granddaughter was not as important as her son. "If it wasn't for Da Lang, who would be willing to do such a spine-tingling thing?"

"For Da Lang?" Old man Gu was about to die of anger at her, "Have you asked Da Lang? If Da Lang knew that you wanted to sell his daughter, he would be so mad, would you believe it?"

"Isn't there nothing I can do?" Gu Pozi's momentum weakened, and she muttered, "If there is a way, I would never think of doing such a wicked thing. The big girl is also my granddaughter..."

"I'll figure out how to deal with the money." Old man Gu took another puff of his cigarette, thinking that he might as well go down to the mountain to see if he could find some mountain goods in exchange for some money, "By the way, where's Erlang?"

"Erlang? I'm afraid he hasn't gotten up yet." Old man Gu asked, and Mrs. Gu remembered that she hadn't seen Gu Rin for a long time.

Yesterday, Dalang Gu Xian was on fire again. In the chaos, no one noticed where Gu Lin had gone, and thought he was still in the house.

"Scream up, let him go to the mountain with me." Old man Gu thought about going to the mountain to see if he could find some mountain goods in exchange for some money.

"At this time of year, there might be nothing left on the mountain." Mrs. Gu got up, and instinctively choked on the old man. Although she said this, she still had a little luck in her heart, thinking that maybe she was lucky this time.

Old man Gu was not idle either. He found the hatchet and sharpened it on the whetstone at the door. It was safer to bring the hatchet and it was also a backup. In case you didn’t find any wild goods, you could exchange some firewood for some money.

"It's not good, old man, Erlang is gone."

Before the knife was sharpened, I heard Mrs. Gu yelling urgently, and a look of displeasure flashed in the eyes of the old man. This old woman likes to make a fuss.

"What's the rush, maybe I went out." Old man Gu didn't care, Gu Lin often likes to go out and run around early in the morning, just like a child.

"No, he didn't go back to the house yesterday..." Mrs. Gu was in a hurry. Gu Lin was out of his mind, and every time he had to prepare the clothes for the next day and put them on the bed, otherwise he would definitely not be able to find them the next day. Clothes to wear, and Gu Lin doesn't know how to fold the quilt, so Gu Pozi has to fold the quilt for him every day.

The clothes prepared for him yesterday were still put aside, and the quilt was neatly folded, and no one had touched it at first glance.

"Didn't go back to the house?" Old man Gu was also in a hurry. Last night Gu Xian was on fire again, and the house was in chaos. No one noticed when Gu Lin disappeared in the chaos. They thought he had gone back to the house long ago, "Quick, Go out and look for it, I don’t know where he went this night, it was so cold last night, don’t get sick from the cold!”

==========================

Gu Lin took the cat and walked down the stream.

In addition to the fungus, he also found some shiitake mushrooms, and put a large bag on his clothes. The more the clothes were lifted up, the stomach was chilling.

The cat was very dissatisfied, it had already rubbed against his neck, only a small head was exposed, and the soft cat rubbed against Gu Lin's chin, making him shrink his neck as he walked, making him look even more stupid.

In fact, the place where he was at the beginning was already quite a deep old forest. He wanted to find the ginseng that the original body wanted to find, but firstly, he didn’t know what the ginseng growing in the soil looked like, and secondly, ginseng was not Chinese cabbage on the side of the road is not so easy to find.

So even though he was looking for it seriously, except for the fungus and shiitake mushrooms, he didn't find any other valuable things.

By the time he reached the foot of the mountain, the sun had risen a little high.

The early winter sun shone warmly on his body, and he couldn't help squinting his eyes to enjoy the warm baptism.

Before he had enjoyed enough, he was hit on the shoulder.

"You brat, who told you to run around!"
