Chapter 54: Meeting a handsome guy while catching bugs
At noon.
Gu Chan and her grandfather dug out a large one-meter-long food trough and put it in the shed.
The little fox was very curious about new things and thought it was a chisel for it to sleep on, so it crawled directly into the trough and lay down.
Gu Chan went into the shed and took it out, and taught her patiently, "That pile of hay is where you sleep. This is called the trough, the bowl you usually use to eat. You can't sleep in it, let alone poop or pee."
[I know, mother. 】
"Don't call me mother, I already told you, I'm not your mother." Gu Chan was speechless.
The little fox always calls her mother-in-law, which makes her very uncomfortable.
Zhang Wanshan saw Gu Chan chatting happily with the little fox. He smiled and said, "Okay, she can't understand what you are saying. Stop chatting with it. Come over to eat quickly, and then go catch some bugs, cook them and feed them to it." , let it eat cooked food, and it will grow well.”
"Okay, then I'll go find Ma Zheng later and ask him to take me to catch bugs." Gu Chan nodded in agreement.
Then she let the little fox play in the shed, while she ran to the stone table and sat down, eating lunch with Zhang Wanshan.
As for the food that their grandfather and grandson are having now, it is indeed much better than before.
Gu Chan still remembers that when she first came here, she could only eat steamed buns with her grandfather every day, but now they can both eat rice and afford fried vegetables.
Zhang Wanshan caught some bugs in the field yesterday and fried some meat and vegetables.
This can be regarded as a combination of rice, meat and vegetables.
Zhang Wanshan said while eating, "You have to be careful of the village chief. That old man is very smart. If his son goes to the county fair today and buys a big rooster and comes back, and the old hen's condition is still not good, he will definitely have to find you." trouble."
"Grandpa, don't worry! I have a way to cure him." Gu Chan was confident.
Zhang Wanshan's face was full of joy, and the two big words "Aojiao" were written all over his old face.
Gu Chan said no more, quickly finished the rice in the bowl, ran to pick up the small cloth bag and went out.
Ma Zheng's home is at the end of the village, some distance from Gu Chan's home.
Gu Chan walked on the road, humming a song and playing with the sickle in her hand, feeling an unprecedented sense of relaxation.
"It turns out that this is life in the countryside! It is quite fulfilling and leisurely."
Gu Chan was thinking this in her heart as she walked, with a comfortable smile on her face.
"Hey! Isn't this Gu Chan? Why are you going?"
At this time, a middle-aged woman came out of the yard and took the initiative to say hello to Gu Chan.
"Auntie, grandpa asked me to catch bugs." Gu Chan replied sweetly.
Anyway, in this kind of rural area, you can just call a man uncle and a woman aunt. People will think you are polite and don't have to worry about it so much.
The middle-aged woman smiled happily, "Okay, go ahead! Pay attention to your safety!"
"Okay, Auntie, thank you for your concern." Gu Chan politely thanked her and hurried towards Ma Zheng's house.
The middle-aged woman looked back at her husband who was sitting in the yard and said, "This old man is so lucky! I am so envious that he still has such a capable grandson after being dozens of years old."
"There's nothing to envy. Look at him, he's so skinny and doesn't look like a boy at all, but more like a girl."
"What's wrong, bitch? There's no bitch like you! You still look down on bitches, don't you? Then divorce me! Find another one!" The middle-aged woman opened her mouth and cursed. The man smiled awkwardly and closed his mouth knowingly.
Gu Chan, who walked to the front, laughed from ear to ear as she listened to the couple arguing behind her, and gradually fell in love with the fireworks in the countryside.
Soon after, Gu Chan came to Ma Zheng's house.
Ma Zheng learned that Gu Chan was going to catch insects. After telling his grandma, he followed Gu Chan.
The two soon came to a wasteland in the back mountain. Ma Zheng pointed to the weeds in the field and said to Gu Chan, "Boss, you have to catch the bugs in the weeds. Not all bugs can eat them. Don’t eat the long spicy ones, and don’t touch them, otherwise your hands will swell and get big blisters if you touch them, but the short and fat caterpillars are particularly delicious.”
"Why do you need to pay so much attention to catching a bug?" Gu Chan was stunned for a moment after hearing this.
She used to be from the city and had never lived in the countryside, so how could she know these things.
Ma Zheng looked serious, "Of course! If you want to catch bugs, you have to know how to recognize bugs. Only by catching delicious bugs can they eat well and grow strong. This is the same reason why we like to eat rice." , although you can eat other things, but they don’t taste good and they don’t produce meat!”
"Okay! Then teach me! Which insects are edible and delicious." Gu Chan nodded.
Then Ma Zheng began to teach her how to recognize bugs.
Gu Chan just learned to recognize bugs while slowly catching them and putting them in the small cloth bag.
"Cough cough cough..."
Just as the two of them were catching bugs seriously, waves of weak coughs suddenly came from the weeds not far ahead.
Ma Zheng was startled, "Boss, there seems to be someone over there!"
"Let's go and take a look." Gu Chan made a decisive decision and got up first and walked over.
Ma Zheng followed her cautiously like a coward.
When the two came to the weeds where the noise came from, they discovered that there was a man lying in the weeds.
This man has a slender figure, fair skin, a Chinese character face, and handsome features. He is dressed in black and has long hair hanging down behind him. At first glance, people will think that he is an elegant and beautiful man.
Since Gu Chan came to this world, all he has seen are strange-looking people. It can only be said that they are pleasing to the eye, but no one has made him feel handsome or beautiful.
But now that this man appeared in front of her, he could really be called handsome, and she was briefly stunned when she looked at him.
However, Ma Zheng quickly rushed up and took Gu Chan's arm, saying anxiously, "Boss, let's leave him alone. We can't afford to offend the people in Tianji Pavilion."
"What? Tianji Pavilion?" Gu Chan was confused.
Ma Zheng pointed to the three small silver characters "Tianji Pavilion" embroidered on the handsome man's chest, "Yes, look at the three characters tattooed on his chest. He is from Tianji Pavilion."
"Hey! You can still read? Didn't you say you can't read?" Gu Chan asked in surprise.
From the moment he met Ma Zheng, he knew that this girl was illiterate. Unexpectedly, today, he gave himself a surprise. He could actually recognize the three characters "Tianji Pavilion", which had to surprise her!
Ma Zheng explained eagerly, "Boss, you don't know that in our Tiancang Kingdom, everyone knows these three words. Even people who have never gone to school must learn these three words since they were young. , so that you can stay far away when you encounter them."
"Is that so? These three words are so scary?" Gu Chan reached out and touched her chin and muttered.
Don’t even say it!
At this moment, she really became interested in this Tianji Pavilion.
