Help! I just woke up and was stabbed by a big kid
Chapter 5 Novice Protection Period
Gu Yue went home excitedly, took a wood-chopping knife, a small shovel, a hemp rope and a sack, put them in a basket, and went to the woods.
He currently can't talk to the male protagonist who wants him dead at any time. His eyes make his back numb. And he has to maintain his character and can't be too warm all of a sudden... He is not an actor, it's really difficult.
The forest behind the village is a vast expanse of wilderness, stretching to a small hillside near the county town. There are many old trees in the forest, and there are rumors that there are tree spirits in it, so it has never been cultivated into fields, and has been left here. Occasionally, children go into the forest to play.
In early spring, everything comes back to life, green appears in the woods, and it is the time for small animals to run around.
There are people in the village who hunt wild meat, but not many. After all, almost every family raises chickens, ducks and pigs, and there are many fields in the plains, so there is no shortage of food. There is no need to spend a lot of effort to compete with wild animals. Only children who are greedy and love to play will go into the woods to catch meat.
These days, it was the time to water the fields, and the children were forced to help carry water. Other villagers were not as poor as Gu Yue's family, who only cultivated two acres of land and had to mobilize the whole family to handle the work.
Gu Yue realized later that the wheat seeds in ancient times were not as good as those of modern times, and there were no chemical fertilizers. Would the food produced in a year be enough for them to eat?
Including the rent for the land...how much money is there?
Never mind, let’s not think about this for now.
There were birds singing in the woods, mostly sparrows and black magpies. When they saw him coming, they all flew up to the branches.
Gu Yue stepped on a thick layer of fallen leaves, slowed down his pace and moved deeper into the forest.
He didn't notice at all that there was a thin and short person following him.
Gu Xu was a little surprised. He really went to hunt wild meat? How did he do it? How could Gu Dashi know how to do it?
Gu Yue knew a little about this. When he was a child, he used to trap pheasants in the hills behind the school. Later, pheasants became protected animals, so he never did that again.
The branches are green now, but most of the plants have not yet produced seeds. Brown rice grains should be attractive...
He made a simple leaf trap as he had done when he was a kid, and buried a few snares around the slope that looked like rabbit holes. Children in the village also used this method to catch game, and Gu Dashi had played with it when he was a kid.
Gu Yue was a little worried that sparrows would fly down and eat his rice grains. However, the success rate of the noose was relatively high, so he was not too worried. He took the axe and walked away, intending to get some dead branches to burn in the fire.
He disassembled a broken and fallen dead tree, and put all the branches and forks into a bamboo basket. Recalling the pile of firewood in the corner of the kitchen, Gu Yue still felt that Gu Xu was really a hardworking child, but he was really unlucky... No, he was in power and surrounded by beautiful women, how could he be unlucky?
I'm the only unlucky one. I traveled through time and space to an ancient place where there was nothing left. I started with a bad hand and I'm a cripple.
Gu Yue sighed deeply, not noticing at all that Gu Xu was lying in the bushes in the distance.
Gu Xu's eyes were slightly shining. When Gu Yue left his side, he immediately changed his appearance. Where could he see a trace of indifference and cruelty on that fierce face? The big and strong one squatted and curled up, even shaking his head and sighing childishly. The method of picking up the dead branches was also clumsy, and in the end he actually relied on his strength to break them.
He couldn't help but think of the stories he had read before. When a person is possessed by a spirit, his temperament will change drastically and he will not remember his past. If left alone, the soul of the original person will be gradually corroded and in the end he will not even be able to reincarnate.
Gu Xu was sure that he used all his strength in that blow. He even heard the sound of bones breaking, and Gu Dashi died completely. Otherwise, he would not have gone to find witnesses when the situation was unclear.
Gu Dashi... is dead, this man is a fake!
Gu Xu's lip lines were straightened.
He actually felt a little sorry for the spirit that took the opportunity to possess him, for having to be given such a dirty body.
Suddenly, there was a fluttering sound in the distance, accompanied by a squeaking sound. Gu Yue, who was cutting branches, was overjoyed and ran towards the leaf trap with a bamboo basket in his hand.
Gu Xu also suddenly woke up.
No, I still need to confirm it again...Gu Dashi is cunning and vicious, I wonder if this is another evil idea he has?
or……
Gu Yue couldn't believe his luck.
Could this be his long-awaited golden finger? Into the narrow and crude trap for catching pheasants actually ran a sleek black and yellow beast with a pointed mouth, small ears, and a big tail as long as its body.
It looks like a mink, but not really.
Gu Yue was in a panic. He didn't dare to reach down, for fear of being bitten and contracting rabies. There was no vaccine for him in that era.
He looked around, picked up a medium-sized stone, and threw it into the pit with a bang. The long beast twitched twice and then stopped moving.
Gu Yue then dared to pick it up for a closer look. Fortunately, Gu Dashi had seen this kind of animal before, and its fur was valuable, called the yellow-striped marten. But its appearance was different from all the martens Gu Yue had seen.
The confusion lasted only five seconds before Gu Yue felt relieved and consoled himself: In a fictional world, it is normal to have unfamiliar animals.
He touched the mink's head, which was dented by the stone, and it looked dead. Gu Yue tied its hind legs with a rope and threw it into the bamboo basket, putting it together with the firewood.
Gu Yue climbed up the tree and looked down at the slope where he had set the trap. It was still quiet, with no signs of rabbits taking the bait. So he set up a new leaf trap and went back to the small dead tree to collect firewood.
This time, Gu Yue worked very hard. When he had almost chopped down a small tree, the sun had already set. In fact, it was only four o'clock in the afternoon, but there were no nighttime entertainment activities in the ancient countryside, and the candlelight was dim. People usually ate early and went to bed.
It’s better to go back early. Although the woods near the village are generally not dangerous, it’s easy to fall after dark.
Gu Xu saw him packing up his things and looking at the sky, knowing that Gu Yue was going to go home, so he quietly stepped back and went back first.
Gu Yue went to check the leaf trap first, but everything was normal, no unlucky creatures fell into it to fulfill his golden finger. Then he looked at the snares, and Gu Yue chose a good location. Two of the snares showed signs of struggle, but unfortunately the rabbits escaped.
Without thin iron wire, the hemp rope is still a bit rough and cannot tie up the slippery rabbit hair.
Gu Yue felt a little sorry, it seemed that there would be no meat to eat tonight. The meat of minks was smelly, so it was more cost-effective to sell them whole. If you peeled them yourself, you might damage the skin and it would be worthless.
The light was good throughout the afternoon, so Gu Yue changed his route back to the village.
The forest was deep but not too dense. There were many shrubs and trees of various species, mostly brown rough-skinned trees with wide leaves. The closer you got to the edge of the forest, the greener it became. Gu Yue even saw two fruit trees hidden behind vines and bushes, bearing several finger-sized green fruits.
It looked like a date. Gu Yue took a bite and found that it tasted like sour dates.
Afraid of not being able to explain why there was no meat, Gu Yue quickly picked up some big dates. This should be enough to appease Gu Xu.
Looking around, he saw some sparse mushrooms under the trees that were not facing the sun, but Gu Yue was not from Yunnan, and he was afraid that if he picked poisonous ones, Gu Xu would suspect that he had been poisoned again, so he had to give up.
There are some peach trees near the woods at the end of the village, with a few sparse peach blossoms hanging on them. There are a few wisps of smoke floating above the scattered brick and earth houses, which gives the illusion of a beautiful paradise.
Illusion... Of course it was an illusion. When Gu Yue was about to reach his home, he saw a group of people gathered on the dirt road outside his home. There were quarrels and shouts coming from the source...
Oh no, it’s his house!
