My parents are both dead, I rely on fishing and farming to support my younger siblings
Chapter 24: Going up the mountain to hunt
Because they didn't go to the fields to weed yesterday, Gu Lili took Erniu and Sigou to weed after breakfast today.
Originally, Gu Huanhuan also wanted to go, but Gu Lili was worried that her foot had not yet fully healed, so she asked her to continue sewing clothes at home. She just happened to see the fish drying under the eaves.
At lunch time, Gu Lili and her siblings finished weeding and went home.
Unexpectedly, Gu Huanhuan had already cooked lunch.
After they had their meal, Gu Sigou said, "Sister, let's go to the beach today and pick up some fish to eat."
Gu Lili said, "Look, we didn't hear anyone say we could catch any fish today on our way back. Why don't we go up the mountain and have a look today?"
Yesterday she even specifically asked Aunt Zhang what day it was.
Aunt Zhang told her that it was the fifteenth day of the lunar month, so it happened to be a high tide, and this kind of fish can't be caught every day.
However, Gu Lili also kept the time in mind and waited for the next high tide to harvest another batch of fish.
The three of them discussed it and decided to go up the mountain to take a look.
When leaving, she measured the measurements of Erniu and Sigou, marked them on the cloth, and then asked Huanhuan to sew them slowly.
The mountain of Guzhuang is just in the south, and the three of them followed the stream south to the mountain.
In less than half an hour, they reached the foot of the mountain.
Now is a good time for all things to revive, and there are many wild vegetables on the mountain.
Therefore, there are quite a lot of people going up the mountain, and you will meet a few of them from time to time.
Gu Lili took the two of them to a place with fewer people, because there were still few wild vegetables and it would be easy for them to be snatched if they went to a crowded place.
"Beep, wild Polygonum multiflorum, fifty cents a pound."
A mechanical voice sounded in Gu Lili's mind. Gu Lili looked in the direction of the red dot marked by the system and saw that it was a Polygonum multiflorum.
Gu Lili looked at Erniu, then at Sigou and said, "You two should move away and help me watch over the people. I need to go to the bathroom."
Gu Erniu nodded with some embarrassment on his face, but Gu Sigou considerately picked a handful of wild wormwood leaves and handed them to Gu Lili.
"Don't worry, sister. My brother and I will watch over you!"
After saying that, he and Gu Erniu walked away, leaving Gu Lili disheveled in the wind.
Gu Lili shook her head, threw away the wild wormwood in her hand, and then quickly walked to the Polygonum multiflorum plant.
I broke off a branch and used it as a digging tool.
It took a long time to dig out the Polygonum multiflorum.
Because it was less than a pound, I only sold it for twenty cents.
However, Gu Lili was still very satisfied.
She brushed the dirt off her hands and went to look for the Gu Erniu brothers.
Before she got close, she could faintly hear Gu Sigou crying. Gu Lili's heart tightened and she quickly trotted towards the two brothers.
When I got closer, I found Gu Sigou lying on the entrance of an abandoned trap hole crying. It turned out that Erniu had fallen in.
Gu Erniu, looking embarrassed, jumped around in the trap, trying to grab the weeds on the edge of the trap and use them to climb out. He tried many times but failed.
There was actually a kitten in Gu Erniu's arms, but where did the cat come from in such a desolate mountain?
Without having time to think about this matter carefully, Gu Lili quickly asked about Gu Erniu's condition, "Erniu, are you okay?"
Gu Erniu raised his head and looked at Gu Lili with a smile that was uglier than crying. "Sister, I'm fine, it's just... I think the back of my pants is torn."
"Sister, it's all my fault. I saw a kitten inside, so I asked my second brother to rescue it," Gu Sigou blamed himself.
When he was keeping watch for his sister, he discovered the cat in the trap, and then asked Gu Erniu to rescue it.
Gu Erniu looked at the weeds on the edge of the trap and thought it should be okay.
As a result, after going down and climbing again, I found that the roots of these weeds were not strong.
"Si Gou, how can you be blamed for this? This shows that you and your second brother are both kind-hearted children." Gu Lili gently stroked Si Gou's head and comforted him.
Then she said to Erniu in the trap, "Erniu, don't worry. I'll check if there's anything around that can pull you out."
Gu Lili originally planned to go around in a circle, and then take the opportunity to buy a rope from the space to pull Erniu up.
When the time comes, I can find a random excuse to fool the two kids.
Unexpectedly, Gu Sigou found a vine not far away. Without thinking, he trotted over to pull the vine.
He only wanted to pull Gu Erniu out quickly, but he didn't realize that there was a danger hidden in the vines.
As soon as Gu Sigou's hand approached, he immediately screamed.
Gu Lili was not far away and immediately ran towards Sigou.
As she got closer, she found a snake about one meter long trying to crawl away, and Gu Lili immediately got goose bumps.
The snake is purple-gray with large black diamond-shaped spots all over its body and a yellow head.
This scared Gu Lili a lot, but she didn't know much about snakes and couldn't tell what kind of snake it was.
Gu Lili still thought that the system would know, but the snake crawled too fast and the system did not jump out.
The system does require various serums, but one also needs to know what kind of snake it is.
Gu Lili looked at Gu Sigou with tears in his eyes and no longer cared about anything.
He ran to the snake in one quick step and grabbed its tail.
In order to prevent the snake from biting him completely, he threw the snake to the ground the moment he picked it up.
Gu Lili has been afraid of these cold-blooded animals since she was a child, and now she is so scared that her face has turned pale.
However, she was afraid that the snake would bite her, so she did not stop what she was doing and kept hitting the snake over and over again.
Gu Sigou was so stunned by this scene that he didn't even care about crying and forgot to close his open mouth.
I don’t know how long I fell, but Gu Lili just felt that all her strength was used up.
He stopped when he felt the snake in his hand had stopped moving, threw the lifeless snake aside, and then collapsed to the ground.
"Beep, this is an Elaphe dione, a protected animal, non-toxic, no trading allowed."
As the mechanical sound rang in her mind, Gu Lili finally felt relieved.
When Gu Sigou saw his sister collapsed on the ground, he hurried over.
Gu Lili looked at Gu Sigou, hugged him, and burst into tears with a "wow".
"Sister, it's all my fault. It's all my fault." Gu Sigou patted Gu Lili's shoulder and blamed himself.
If I hadn't thought about saving the cat, my second brother wouldn't have been unable to come up.
If I had taken a closer look at Tengman and not been bitten by the snake, my sister wouldn't have to avenge me and would not have been scared to tears.
After crying for a while, Gu Lili calmed down, but also felt a little embarrassed.
My mental age is already in my twenties, yet I still cry in front of a child.
