Joe's Farming

As soon as Gu Feng and his friends left, Qiao Yu called the children over and asked them what they wanted to eat in the evening.

Qiao Xing shook his head: "Whatever Auntie Lan cooks is delicious." Because it was all taught by little daddy.

Gu Xiaoxue thought for a moment and said, "I want to eat fried bacon with garlic sprouts!"

Qiao Yu immediately said, "No problem, Sister Lan, I'll soak a piece of bacon later."

Bai Lan: "Okay."

"Where's Yanbao?"

Gu Xiaoyan's eyes curved: "Roasted field mouse."

Qiao Yu:......

"Can I roast a rabbit? Voles are hard to catch, and they're so small. There won't be enough to share."

Gu Xiaoyan nodded vigorously: "Okay, okay, I was just joking just now, hehe."

Qiao Yu rubbed the child's head. Yan Bao was the youngest and his personality change was the most obvious. When he first came, the child was very timid, but now he dares to tease him.

"Okay, Dad, I'm fine. Let me check your homework." Qiao Yu said seriously. He was going to send the children to school in town in the spring, so it was important to check their homework.

At this moment, even Gu Xiaoyan hung his head.

Bai Lan and Hong Xiu looked at each other and smiled. Qiao Ge'er was really strict with the children's studies.

It was not the first day that Dazhuang and Su Qing went up the mountain to chop firewood. They had followed Gu Gang to the back mountain to chop firewood several times before.

So they were quite familiar with it, and they chose a place and started working.

Although there was thick snow on the mountain, after working, I felt warm all over and didn't feel cold at all.

Gu Feng and Gu Gang were even quicker, and soon they had chopped down enough trees for a bundle. Qiao Yu would hire someone to chop down these trees next year, so he didn't feel bad about chopping them down.

When the firewood had been chopped almost completely, Gu Feng began to look for the rabbit's footprints.

Gu Feng had been a hunter for so many years that he was very good at finding traces. He soon discovered a series of rabbit footprints.

Da Zhuang and Su Qing have never caught a rabbit before. Not to mention Da Zhuang, Su Qing is also eager to try, hoping to catch one with his own hands.

Gu Feng taught them how to set traps, and then asked Da Zhuang to chase the rabbits.

Soon the rabbit was chased and fled everywhere, and in a panic it fell into the trap set by the four men.

"Hahahaha, I caught it! I caught it!" Da Zhuang shouted in surprise.

Su Qing also raised the corner of his mouth. Catching rabbits on a snowy day was much easier than he thought.

Maybe no one had ever come to this mountain to catch rabbits, so the rabbits were not very vigilant. The four people used the same trick again and caught three rabbits.

It was getting dark. Gu Gang looked at the four rabbits and said to Gu Feng, "Are we going home?"

Gu Feng nodded, and the four of them began to pack up and go down the mountain.

Gu Feng led the way in front to prevent the three people from misjudging the mountain road under the snow and breaking their legs by stepping on empty air.

Da Zhuang was still not satisfied, and he kept looking around as he walked, hoping to see a rabbit or pheasant or something to bring back for a snack.

Gu Feng was concentrating on leading the way when he suddenly heard Da Zhuang shouting.

"Second Master! Second Master! There seems to be someone over there."

Gu Feng turned around and saw Da Zhuang pointing at a place.

The three of them looked over at the same time, and indeed, there seemed to be a person lying in that valley.

Gu Feng quickly unloaded the firewood on his body and gestured to the other three people, meaning that I will go and check it out.

Gu Gang pulled him back: "Let's go together."

Gu Feng nodded, and the two of them held the axes on their waists and walked quickly towards that place.

When I got closer, I found that the man was wearing ragged clothes with several torn fabrics, as if he had fallen from a mountain. He was buried headfirst in the snow and seemed to be dead.

Gu Feng quickly turned the man over. His face was abnormally red. He sniffed and found that his breath was weak, but he was still alive.

"Save people." said Gu Gang.

Just let Gu carry the person on his back.

When Dazhuang and Su Qing saw Gu Gang carrying someone back, they took the initiative to share Gu Gang's firewood.

Su Qing saw that the man had a dirty face but delicate features. He looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, with a red mole on his forehead. She couldn't help feeling sad.

"Can he be saved?" The man looked dying, and it was unknown how long he had been lying in the snow.

"Let's take it back first." Gu Feng said, hoping he could hold on until that time.

-

Just as Qiao Yu asked Bai Lan to cook the meal, she heard Gu Feng and the others coming back from the yard.

He quickly ran out to greet him.

As expected, I saw a few rabbits hanging on Da Zhuang's body.

Before she could shout out in joy, she saw Gu Gang coming in carrying someone on his back.

???

"Brother-in-law, please take a quick look, is this child still saveable?" Gu Gang hurriedly carried the young man to the main room and put him on the ground.

Qiao Yu: I’m not a doctor either.

"What's up with him?"

"We found him in the snow. We don't know how long he had been lying there, but he was still breathing." Gu Feng, who was following behind him, explained quickly.

Qiao Yu hurried forward and touched the boy's forehead. It was hot, very hot.

He must have been frozen. He had read on the news before that people who had been frozen for a long time had to rub themselves with snow to warm themselves up, otherwise they would freeze to death.

"Go outside and dig two basins of snow!" Qiao Yu yelled.

The children looked at the unconscious person on the ground with some fear, but Uncle Wang blocked them behind him and said, "Can we go to my room to read?"

If the person cannot be rescued, it would be bad if the children saw it.

Qiao Yu nodded at them: "Go ahead. You guys are getting in the way here."

Soon two basins of snow were brought back, and Qiao Yu had asked Bai Lan to prepare two thick quilts and spread them on the ground.

"Men, get out!" Qiao Yu shouted.

"You two should follow my example and rub him with snow little by little until he wakes up, understand?"

Bai Lan and Hong Xiu both nodded vigorously.

After saying that, Qiao Yu undressed the boy neatly.

The boy's body was covered in bruises and he was skin and bones, but fortunately he had no open wounds. Qiao Yu checked him and found no broken bones, so she immediately began to rub him quickly with snow.

Halfway through rubbing, the boy frowned and groaned.

Qiao Yu knew that he was slowly regaining consciousness, so he hurriedly shouted, "Add some warm water, not too hot."

"Hey!" Bai Lan immediately ran to the kitchen to pour hot water, and then ran back to the main room.

Qiao Yu soaked the handkerchief in warm water, tested the temperature and found it was not hot before slowly applying it to the boy's body, allowing his skin to slowly warm up. If it was too hot, the boy's capillaries would not be able to withstand the heat expansion and contraction and would rupture.

After repeating this several times, the boy was stuffed into a thick quilt.

By this time the boy's breathing had become much calmer.

Bai Lan wiped the sweat off Qiao Yu's face.

"Boss, are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?"

Hongxiu also looked at him with concern. Not to mention Qiao Yu, both she and Bai Lan felt a little tired.

Qiao Yu shook her head, took two breaths, and then said to the two of them, "I'm fine, just a little hot."

The two were relieved.

Qiao Yu looked at the boy on the ground. She washed his face when she wiped it just now and found that he had a very cute appearance. She hoped that he could survive it.

"Brother Gu, please move the people into our room. The living room is cold at night." Qiao Yu said to Gu Feng outside the room.

Gu Feng nodded and carried the boy and his quilt to their room.
