Without avoiding it, Gu Ci exchanged a glance with the patriarch, as if he couldn't see the deep meaning in his eyes, and quickly moved his eyes away.If something like the little girl hadn't happened, she would definitely be obliged to contribute to the matter of the wild boar going down the mountain today.

The patriarch naturally understood what she meant. He had been the patriarch for so many years, and he had to show his performance, but he glanced over and saw that there were many Gu family members, but none of them were willing to stand up and take responsibility at this moment.

Compared with the crops in the field, my old face is actually not important or not.

The patriarch lowered his eyes, heaved a sigh of relief, and turned to the people below, his gaze first resting on Er Manzi's face, "You said that your crops in Nanshan have been ruined, but you don't want the wheat in Taishan either?"

"And you, Gu Lao Er, you only have three acres of land in Nanshan, but there are nearly ten acres of paddy fields in Chunbakan?"

The patriarch sighed heavily, "What can livestock understand? If you all want to smash the jars today, the crops in Nanshan will be ruined, but who knows if this group of livestock will go to another place to make trouble? You Those who are older should remember the wolves besieging the village 20 years ago. There was a severe drought that year, and the crops failed. The wolves on the mountain were as hungry as us. At first, only one or two dared to come to the village to steal Chickens, but because everyone has the idea of ​​not stealing their own chickens, no one is willing to take the effort to drive them away, so what happened?"

The past was brought up again, and the whispered discussions in the crowd died down.People a generation older than Gu Ci knew about the wolves besieging the entire village.

"As a result, one night, the wolf king led a pack of wolves and surrounded our entire village." Li Zheng picked up the words of the patriarch, "If you only think that the wild boars are not destroying your own crops today, just let them go, maybe you will understand clearly." It is your family that ruined your son. The ancestors said that when brothers unite as one, their profits can cut through gold. The wild boar is certainly fierce, but as long as we are united, man will conquer the sky."

The crowd was still silent for a while, and it was only after a while that Er Manzi complained and murmured: "It's easy for you to say, the wild boar has rough skin and thick flesh, and when you hoe it down, the animal bleeds a little. How can we work together to fight a group of wild boars with our two strengths?"

Er Manzi's words are not pleasant to listen to, but everyone has also gone to drive wild boars today, and know that what he said is true. It is not difficult to drive these animals away for a while, but if you want to eliminate them to avoid future troubles, it is really not easy easy job.

The patriarch and Li Zheng looked at each other, he really had no choice but to look at Gu Ci, moved his lips, "Eldest sister..."

He called out, and all the eyes of the crowd focused on her. The little girl thought standing here was boring and was yawning next to Gu Ci. Seeing so many eyes looking at her in unison, hurry up Covering his lips, he hid behind Gu Ci.

"I think it's because you brought this dirty little bastard back that our village will..."

"Slap your mouth." Before Liu could finish speaking, the patriarch yelled and looked at Gu Lao Er, "In front of our ancestors, your mother-in-law's mouth is not clean, she should be spanked."

Not only the Liu family was startled, but everyone around them were a little confused. Uncle Gu Liu had been following the patriarch all along, so he naturally figured out what he meant, and reminded him: "Second Gu, why are you still standing there? My own mother-in-law, why don't you ask someone to teach you a lesson?"

"Patriarch, this... Dating..." Gu Laoer secretly hated Liu's stinky mouth, but under the eyes of everyone, being driven to beat his mother-in-law like this, it is also his own face, "Go back to me I will teach her a lesson."

Seeing the patriarch looking at him, Gu Ci lowered his eyebrows and smiled. This play is really interesting--affection is so trivial in front of gains and losses.

"I am a girl, and there is no field in Nanshan. The whole village only has half an acre of wheat. Wild boars can spoil it if they want. My little girl is very sleepy, so I will go back first. Our Gu family has many sons and daughters, so we must be able to do it." If you come up with a clever plan, you will have to contribute money and efforts at that time, as long as it is not unfair, the share that should be paid by me will definitely not..."

"Why, your mother-in-law is not clean in front of your ancestors, can't you teach me a lesson in front of your ancestors?" Before Gu Ci finished speaking, the patriarch interrupted her in a hurry .

Only then did Gu Laoer realize that the patriarch wanted him to slap his face for his elder sister to see.Immediately, the shame and anger in my heart jumped up, "I want to see, without her eldest sister, our village really has nothing to do with those wild boars."

Hearing this, Gu Ci raised his eyebrows, looked at the patriarch, with a slight smile on his brows, and his bright eyes were even more dazzling, "I just came up with a clever plan, but since I didn't If it’s not up to me, then I won’t join in the fun.”

Now everyone in the village is at a loss what to do, Gu Ci's words immediately stirred up a thousand waves, everyone gathered together to mutter, and finally suddenly remembered that the eldest sister of the Gu family was a soldier who had killed the enemy on the battlefield, and looked at Mr. Gu one by one When couples are married, they are a little ready to move.

Miss Qiu was looked down upon because her man was a deserter in the night watch, and she was worried that she would not be able to find a chance to earn a face. As soon as she rolled her eyes, she thought about it, rolled up her sleeves and said, "Gu Er, if you take it today? If you don’t come up with a good plan, then your mother-in-law taught us a lesson personally..."

"Zhao Qiuhua, you are murdered by the gods, how dare you!" Liu Shi usually scolded Zhao Qiuhua the most when he was in the village, and Zhao Qiuhua, who had the same sharp mouth, was the same person. It was better to have a common gossip partner, but now hearing this woman rushing to stab me, I wish I could tear him apart on the spot.

"Patriarch, you see she's talking nonsense again..."

Dog bites dog, a mouthful of hair.

Gu Ci couldn't help but burst out laughing, seeing the patriarch looking at her, she bent down and picked up the little girl who had been rubbing her eyes, coaxed a few words in her ear, and then turned to him Looking over, "Dirty mouth really needs to be cured, otherwise it will be a sin if you open your mouth and smoke people."

Anyone who is thoughtful knows what she means, and the patriarch still looks annoyed at her, but now the son of the village is unreliable, so he can only pin his hopes on her, so he has to be patient and say: "Everyone is a big character." For those who don’t know, their eyelids will naturally be shallower, and sometimes their speech will be a bit harsh, so don’t worry about it, Eldest Sister.”

Gu Ci smiled, and suddenly became a little impatient with the faces of the villagers, and supported the little girl on his body, "Find out which side the wild boar came from down the mountain, and hurry up during the day around the paddy fields on the side down the mountain Dig a hole, and after digging, bury it with vegetation."

"What if they don't come down that side tonight?"

Gu Ci was taken aback, "Then switch sides and continue digging."

"You put it so simply. It's not an easy job to dig a hole. It's not a waste of time to dig it for nothing..."

Gu Ci looked up and looked around. She thought she was very familiar with the village where she had lived in for more than ten years, but only now did she know that she was not familiar with it.

Forget it, even if a little girl has accumulated good deeds.

Gu Ci closed his eyes, but the topic suddenly changed, "Nanshan is in a mountain depression, and the weather has been good these years. You have never felt the pain of crops being submerged or dying."

"Eldest sister is right, so let's do what she says." The young man may not be able to react for a while, but Zhuang Jia's old-fashioned way can draw inferences from one instance, understand what she means, and Lizheng's words are still a little excited, "So I am not afraid that when it rains heavily, the accumulated water flowing down from the mountain will flood the crops. At that time, I can dig a slightly larger hole to store more water in case of emergency. Dig such a hole around the crops. It’s also good to use for irrigation.”

Li Zheng's words could not be explained more clearly, and those who were questioning Gu Ci's strategy just now all shut up.

The patriarch looked at Gu Ci with a complicated expression, and then his tense face relaxed, "A person with some knowledge after all, the way he came up with is different."

The corner of Gu Ci's lips twitched, she just stole someone else's scheme.

Speaking of which, the strategy of digging the pit was actually thought up by the young master of the Lu family. It was just Lu Ming in his previous life. Back then, he contracted all the grain in many parts of the Gu family village. No, he personally took people to the Nanshan area for a walk, and ordered the villagers to dig ditches around to drain and store water for irrigation.

Thinking of that Young Master Lu, Gu Ci couldn't help but hug the little girl in his arms tighter, and now he owes him a favor.

"Since there is a countermeasure, I will take the little girl back first."

"Go back." The patriarch nodded, and said as if remembering something: "I heard that you brought two little ones to pick peanuts for Gu Dashan during the day? Tonight, the wild boars were chased and fled around. Dashan The peanut fields are all around the mountain, you have two small ones, so you should pay more attention."

Gu Ci was taken aback for a moment, then nodded to him again in a moment, "You bothered."

The patriarch turned his face away and didn't look at her again.

Gu Ci didn't care too much, he greeted Xiao Shi, and went home with the little girl in his arms.

After a long delay outside the ancestral hall, when we got home, the sky was already pale, so Gu Ci didn't plan to go to sleep, and let the little girl sleep alone for a while.

The little girl yawned outside the ancestral hall, got into the quilt and couldn't fall asleep again, rolled on the bed twice by herself, then simply got up, put on her clothes slowly, and began to be Gu Ci's little tail.

Gu Ci nagged a few words, seeing that she didn't listen, he followed her, and when the sun rose outside, the buns were almost steamed.

The little girl woke up early and was greedy. When she smelled the sweetness of the buns, she asked Gu Ci to fork one for her with chopsticks, "Be careful, eat slowly. When Ah Bao wakes up, tell him to be younger." The big ones are dried cabbage buns, and the bigger ones are sugar buns, I eat these for breakfast, and I will make them for lunch, so you two just stay at home obediently and don’t run around.”

Seeing that the little girl was concentrating on peeling the buns and eating them, Gu Ci lowered his head and pulled her ears again, "Did you hear that? Wild boars are big and fierce, and have fangs. You must not go to the mountains."

"Understood." The little girl lowered her head and took a mouthful of the steamed stuffed bun, "Then why can my sister go?"

"..." Gu Ci took a bite of the steamed stuffed bun with her outstretched hand, "My sister can beat a wild boar, but you two shorties can't."

This is really heartbreaking.

The little girl took the bun back silently, and decided not to give it to her sister.But she just listened for a while outside the ancestral hall, and she also knew the seriousness of this matter, so she didn't sing the opposite.

Knowing that the wild boar was chased and fled around in the middle of the night, the villagers were a little scared. After all, there were five cases of being injured by the wild boar, and no one dared to take it for granted.

After thinking about it, Gu Dashan didn't dare to take his family members to pick peanuts in the mountains, not to mention that he had to go to Nanshan to help dig a hole in the morning, and it was not safe without a safe man at home, so he discussed with Gu Ci and decided to take the The peanuts and seedlings in the field were brought home, and they were picked at home. Gu Ci wished he could watch over the two little ones at home.

During the day, the men in the village were divided into two teams to dig. After a whole day of non-stop digging, they dug a hole no longer than two miles away from Huashan.

That night, almost all the men in the village were dispatched, and none of them was afraid of mosquito bites. They took hoes and shoulder poles, and they all sat on the field ridge here, waiting quietly.

Although Gu Ci didn't go there, she lay on the bed and didn't fall asleep. It wasn't until late at night, when cheers came from the village, that she turned around and hugged the little girl who had kicked the quilt again, and fell into a deep sleep.
