The pretty widow is addicted to money, and the little wolfdog asks for a hug

Half moon rises at the beginning.

The ox cart was on the way back to Tuniu Village. The night brought a summer breeze, taking away a lot of the heat.

The driver was a thin old man. There was a small lantern hanging in front of the carriage, emitting a dim light.

The ox cart was piled high with things that Gu Qinghuai had "bought".

Qi Yuanshuo was a little confused. He just went out to find a ox cart, and in just a short while, Gu Qinghuai bought so many things.

This speed is really good enough.

However, it is normal for her to be so strong.

Gu Qinghuai sat on the other side of the ox cart, closed his eyes, and silently put away the things rewarded by the system.

Give the pills to A Niang first. A Niang is an adult and can protect her family after taking them.

One hundred kilograms of sweet potatoes are classified in the [Food] column.

At present, there are no sweet potatoes in Daxia Kingdom. This grain with a very high yield is an important bargaining chip, so we should hold it in our hands first. Maybe we can use it one day in the future.

He kept the milk for himself and gave a few boxes to Gu Buqi.

The solar charger can just charge the electric baton.

As for the red tassel spear... this thing is suitable for use on the battlefield, so let's put it aside for now.

Gu Qinghuai looked at the [Weapons] column and simply took out the pocket crossbow and combat dagger.

I will use the pocket crossbow myself and give the combat dagger to Xiao Shitou.

I heard from Song'er that he went out hunting this morning with nothing.

As her close bodyguard, how could he be without weapons?

Gu Qinghuai tugged at Xiao Shitou's sleeve and said with a smile, "Xiao Shitou, here, sister will give you a gift."

Qi Yuanshuo turned his head and saw Gu Qinghuai holding a short knife more than one foot long in his hand, the blade flashing a cold light in the night.

Even in dim light, he could see that it was a top-quality knife.

"Send it to me?" Qi Yuanshuo was a little unconvinced.

They had only just met.

Besides, he had nothing to give her.

Gu Qinghuai handed the knife to him, "Of course, this combat dagger is for you, what are you wasting time on, take it now!"

Qi Yuanshuo lowered his eyes slightly, reached out to take it, and said, "Thank you...Sister Xiaohuai."

Gu Qinghuai raised her chin and said, "You're welcome. Just listen to me in the future. I'll protect you."

Qi Yuanshuo: ...

No matter what, I still feel a little warm in my heart, just a little.

Qi Yuanshuo took the dagger in his hand, rubbed the blade carefully with his fingertips, and was extremely surprised.

What kind of iron is this? The texture is so different!

He was very familiar with Daxia's weapons and had never seen this kind of iron.

Qi Yuanshuo took the short knife and lightly scratched it, and the long grass stems extending from the roadside broke off.

It’s really sharp!

Qi Yuanshuo turned his head and looked at Gu Qinghuai, suppressing his curiosity. He did not intend to ask about the origin of the knife.

She gave it to him, and he accepted it without asking any other questions.

No matter how mysterious her identity was, it had nothing to do with him.

She has secrets, and he has secrets too.

It's good that they don't get in each other's way.

Gu Qinghuai also looked normal.

She knew that this knife was sharper than any other knife in Daxia. If Xiao Shitou asked her about it, she would say that she bought it from a foreign merchant.

It can't be verified anyway.

However, to her surprise, Xiao Shitou didn't ask a single question.

He just whispered: "Sister Xiaohuai, I have something to do tonight and need to take a leave."

Gu Qinghuai looked at him, "How long will it take for you to come back?"

"As soon as possible," Qi Yuanshuo said in a muffled voice.

He looked into the darkness in the distance with a sad expression.

"Okay," Gu Qinghuai nodded.

They had agreed at the beginning that he would obey her orders and he could take leave at any time.

Qi Yuanshuo glanced at the old man driving the cart in front, hesitated again and again, and finally approached Gu Qinghuai and whispered: "Sister Xiaohuai, can... can you help me make some food? Nutritious and easy to carry."

Gu Qinghuai raised his eyes and met his gaze.

Under the moonlight, the young boy's eyes were filled with pleading. His usual arrogance was gone, replaced by deep sadness and helplessness.

How could a thirteen-year-old boy have such a vicissitudes of life in his eyes?

Gu Qinghuai felt like he was looking at an abandoned, pitiful puppy, and his heart softened: "Okay, I'll do it for you."

No need to ask why, if he needs it, then do it for him.

Although Xiao Shitou was a newcomer, he did not dislike the family.

He does everything that can be done at home, never sparing any effort.

She fetched water, chopped wood, hunted, and did all the work that men in the house did.

Besides, if today's prey is sold, he will also have a share.

Gu Qinghuai is willing to be friendly to such people.

"Thank...thank you, Sister Xiaohuai," Qi Yuanshuo said thank you, turned around, lowered his head weakly, hunched his back, and looked extremely lonely.

Gu Qinghuai patted his shoulder and said gently: "Xiao Shitou, since you call me sister, just ask me if you need any help."

After a long time, Qi Yuanshuo said "hmm", and there was a hint of hoarseness in the short syllables.

As soon as the ox cart arrived at the entrance of the village, several small black shells rushed over.

"Third sister! Why did you come back just now? We were so worried!" Gu Qingsong ran to the front of the car and asked with a frown.

It was already so dark and the third sister had not come back yet. He was afraid that the third sister had been abducted by Xiao Shitou. After all, Xiao Shitou had just arrived and they didn't know him very well.

Gu Qingya and Gu Qingmiao behind him also looked anxious and gasped.

Gu Qinghuai was curious: "It was so dark, how did you know we were back?"

Gu Qingsong snorted, "Uncle Lei's ox cart has already returned. Looking at the entire Tuniu Village, only my third sister is willing to hire an ox cart! Even the head of the village is reluctant to do so!"

Gu Qinghuai chuckled and said, "Okay, Gu Qingsong, you're awesome."

Gu Qingmiao chuckled and said, "Third sister, I'm afraid you'll be kidnapped by Brother Xiao Shitou!"

"Little sister!" Gu Qingsong stamped his feet anxiously and looked at Xiao Shitou guiltily.

Qi Yuanshuo: ...I kidnapped her? It's more like she kidnapped me.

Gu Qinghuai was amused again and reached out to pinch Gu Qingsong's little face, "Don't worry, your third sister is very smart. She is already very kind by not kidnapping people."

Gu Qingsong chuckled.

He scratched the back of his head, looked at Qi Yuanshuo, and said embarrassedly: "Brother Xiao Shitou, I...I...I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."

"It's okay," Qi Yuanshuo didn't care.

When they got home, Zhao Ying and Gu Qingshan were also waiting anxiously outside the yard.

Seeing that the people returned safely, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

They were not worried that Xiao Shitou would kidnap their daughter/third sister, but they were afraid that the two of them would encounter some danger outside.

The things on the ox cart were quickly moved back home by Gu Qinghuai and Xiao Shitou.

After a while, the family sat down at the dining table.

Gu Qingya made dinner, which included wild vegetable and lean meat porridge and egg pancakes. It smelled delicious.

Gu Qingshan didn’t even bother to eat a bite of food, and asked impatiently: “Third sister, how are the soap sales?”

Zhao Ying and others also looked at Gu Qinghuai expectantly.

Gu Qinghuai explained the general situation while chewing an omelet.

Everyone was very happy to learn that she had pre-sold 700 bars of soap during her trip.

Sold!

The soap they made actually sold out!

The five people in the family were very excited and immediately started counting on their fingers.
