Touched

Gulan nodded, "Yes, there is something." Then she pointed at the wild boar and the silly roe deer and said, "I'll keep some of these for a while. Please ask the village chief to distribute the rest to the villagers."

"To the villagers? Gulan, are you serious?" Upon hearing this, the village head's wife lost her composure and forced the wrinkles on her eyelids open, making her small eyes wide open.

"It's true," Gulan smiled lightly.

"But didn't you fight hard to get these back? And it took you a lot of effort to get them back." Although the village chief's wife was tempted, she always felt uncomfortable taking advantage of Gulan.

"Thank you for your concern, Auntie. I'm not giving it away for free to the villagers. I still have to charge for it." Gulan finally felt that the idea of ​​giving it away for free was a bit inappropriate. There is no shortage of cases of gratitude and resentment.

"It turns out that I misunderstood. That's not a big deal, it's just the price." The village head's wife was relieved, but her heart became heavier again. She was mainly worried that the price was too expensive and no one would be willing to buy it.

Gulan: "Wild boar meat is five copper coins per pound, and roe deer meat is seven copper coins per pound."

This price is affordable for everyone. Each person earns 100 coins a day working in the channel. Except for those who stay to look after things and children, almost all of them are women and men. In a large population, for example, the Li family could earn more than one or two taels of silver a day, which was equivalent to their income for several months in the past. You should be willing to use a very small portion of it to buy some meat.

Not only the village chief's wife was stunned by the price, but everyone here was also shocked. The price was too cheap.

"Isn't it too cheap? You risked such a big risk to get it." The village chief's wife really didn't expect the price to be like this. This kid is too kind-hearted. This is no different from giving it away for free.

"Of course I don't want to do that to other people. Just like what Auntie said, I did take a big risk. But we have been through thick and thin together for such a long time. We are family, so there is no need to calculate so clearly."

"I were lucky this time and got so many prey. Instead of pickling them and letting them dry, we might as well save them for everyone's health. If everyone eats well, they will have more strength, the road will be open sooner, and we can leave here sooner. It can be considered as my contribution."

"You kid, what can I say to you?" The village head's wife was so moved that she almost burst into tears.

"Okay, wait, I'll go and inform the village head." Then the village head's wife turned around and called her husband without saying a word. The one who gets to do good things without leaving a name is other people's children, not her.

Since you have made efforts, you should let others see it.

Gulan did not deliberately avoid people when she said this, which meant that everyone present heard it, making the old people and women present excited and moved. They stopped walking instantly and just waited here excitedly. A pound of meat only costs five cents. I would never dream of such a thing.

Originally, Gulan was a unique existence in Lijia Village. Everyone was grateful and admired him. At this moment, Gulan's image suddenly became much more majestic. Even though they received the money, Gulan must have done it to make them feel at ease with it. It was so touching. In just a moment, Gulan's image was elevated. Except for the children, everyone here had already imagined Gulan's kindness and greatness.

Not long after, Village Chief Li came running over. It was amazing that he could run so fast despite his old arms and legs, leaving his old wife far behind.

"Gu boy, Gu boy, is what your aunt said true? Is it really selling the meat to us at such a cheap price?" As soon as he saw Gulan, he started yelling, totally dispelling his usual calm demeanor.

"Yes, village chief," Gulan looked at the village chief with a faint smile, "So I'll trouble you next." Gulan pointed at the wild boar on the ground. This big guy needs to be cleaned up properly, as the hard layer of resin and mud on his body is not easy to remove.

Village chief Li looked over and smiled widely, "It's not a trouble, not a trouble." How could it be a trouble if it was just to have meat to eat? When he saw the two roe deer on the ground, his smile became even brighter. The meat of these guys is famous for being delicious. He couldn't bear to think about it anymore.

"Gu boy, I don't know what to say." Village chief Li was particularly moved. It is so rare that Gulan can still maintain such a kind heart after such a long journey of fleeing famine.

Gulan smiled but didn't respond. She looked up at the setting sun and said, "Village Chief, while we still have time, let's boil some water to boil the wild boar so that we can have dinner."

"Yes, yes, yes." Village chief Li did not bother to think about it anymore and quickly asked the people around him to help boil water.

For this purpose, the village chief even contributed the big pot in his cart, and Gulan also helped to pull the wild boar to the place where the pot was to be boiled. Everyone went to work, and only Gulan and Xiang Yunjin, two young men, were left here. They couldn't let these old women pull the wild boar.

Then she returned and took the basket from Xiang Yunjin's back. This guy's injury had not healed yet, so she didn't dare let him use so much force. Then she took her son and Dahei, who was wagging his tail, back to her tent, followed by Daya and Erya, who were holding big red fruits like babies.

Aunt Li did not come back with them, but stayed with the village chief to help. Goudan, on the other hand, abandoned his grandmother and ran back with AnAn. When he came back, he took the big red fruit and ran to his own tent to show off to his two sisters.

Gulan also brought back two silly roe deer. Although she promised to sell them to the villagers, she still had to skin them.

After comforting her son and Dahei who were playing nearby, Gulan took out the dagger from her body and started to deal with the silly roe deer.

Xiang Yunjin, who was watching from the side, also felt the urge to try his hand. Unfortunately, he didn't have the right tools, and he didn't like the kitchen knife used for cooking.

On this side, people were busy skinning pigs and buying meat, and on the other side, people in the aisle were also busy.

In order to increase the speed, Guo Yi and his team also contributed several horses for transportation. Although there was no transport vehicle, it was not a problem. Since there was no vehicle, I made a simple pull plank. With the pull plank, the speed was obviously different from that of a horse, and it was much easier. The open space on the other side of the mountain was already filled with cleared stones, soil, and broken trees, and it seemed like it was about to form another mountain.

At that time, a few heads popped out from behind this artificial hill, looking greedily at the busy crowd in the distance and the rich-looking carriage on the side of the official road. Of course, they would not miss any of the simple tents. They didn't expect that they hadn't been here for two or three days, and there were so many fat sheep, especially the carriage that looked unusual. The second in command was so smart that he came up with such a good idea. He went up the mountain while it was raining heavily and went to great lengths to cause a landslide to block the road.

However, the slide was out of control and several brothers almost fell down accidentally. Fortunately, the people behind them were quick to catch them. But the effect was more than just good. They did not expect that just wanting to block a small area would cause such a large-scale landslide, and the entire road was completely blocked.

The road is blocked, so travelers passing by can only change routes, which is also their ultimate goal. By the time the government received the news and came to sort things out, no one knew how many days had passed. This period of time was enough for them to reap a huge harvest.
