Chapter 62

“Dad, Mom went out to do some business. She didn’t take me or Dahuang with her.” Gou Wa said anxiously.

He was really worried about Shen Qingli. His mother was delicate and weak. What would he do if something really happened to her?

Late in the night, when Gou Wa thought of Shen Qingli being alone, he couldn’t help but think that she was in danger. He couldn’t sleep at all. After coaxing Niu Niu to sleep, he waited in the yard.

Zhou Yubai frowned, he opened the door, and he and Gu Qichuan moved the things outside into the yard.

The two of them were lucky enough to catch a dozen rabbits, a dozen pheasants, and a wild boar.

Gou Wa was looking at a pile of prey. His mood, which should have been happy, became depressed because Shen Qingli did not come back.

“What’s wrong with Ali? Where did she go?” Gu Qichuan asked as soon as he entered the door.

Gou Wa shook his head. “Mom didn’t say anything. She said she knew her limits and told me not to worry.”

“I’ll go out and take a look. You boil some water to deal with these things first.” Zhou Yubai said as he walked out.

“I’ll go with you. Ali isn’t coming back, and I’m not in the mood to deal with these things. Ruirui, can you boil some water?” Gu Qichuan said. He was even more worried than Zhou Yubai.

Although Zhou Yubai had never seen Shen Qingli’s abilities with his own eyes, they had been together for a long time and he knew that Shen Qingli had changed.

However, Gu Qichuan’s impression of Shen Qingli still remains from the time they were together.

Although Shen Qingli appears gentle on the outside but strong on the inside, she is indeed just a delicate and weak little girl who is afraid of the dark. What could be the matter that would make her insist on doing it now in the middle of the night?

Can’t we wait for them to come back and let Zhou Yubai or myself go with them?

“Uncle, I can. You guys go find mom quickly.” Gou Wa said hurriedly.

“good.”

Zhou Yubai and Gu Qichuan went out together.

After the two people went out, they didn’t know where to go, so they walked towards the village for a while.

Zhou Yubai suggested, “Let’s split up and search, and then meet up here.”

As soon as Gu Qichuan nodded, he saw someone walking towards him. It was Shen Qingli.

“Kiyori.”

“Ali.”

Shen Qingli was startled. “You two suddenly showed up in the middle of the night. You scared me to death?”

Shen Qingli patted her chest.

“You are still afraid. What are you doing so late at night?” Gu Qichuan scolded unkindly.

Shen Qingli pursed her lips and blinked her beautiful eyes, looking mischievous.

Gu Qichuan seemed to have returned to his childhood and his voice paused.

“I’m not being mean to you, so don’t pretend to cry.”

“I’m not pretending to cry. My crying is real.” Shen Qingli snorted at Gu Qichuan proudly, as if it was an honor to be able to cry, and then hugged Zhou Yubai’s arm.

“I’m sorry to have made you worry.”

Zhou Yubai held Shen Qingli’s hand tightly and pursed his lips. Although he couldn’t be mean to his wife, he really wanted to know what she was doing.

Shen Qingli did not keep the topic in suspense and told the story of how she rescued Qin Zhi today and delivered meals to him in the evening, including that she would go to repair their house tomorrow.

“Those people really… have a hard time.” Zhou Yubai spoke first after a while.

His wife is so brave that it can scare people to death, but he always supports her and is willing to do so even if there is danger.

“Mr. Qin and Mr. Zhuang are both outstanding revolutionary predecessors. When I came out, I heard that someone was working on their matter, but I didn’t know whether it would work.” Gu Qichuan said.

The Gu family has a wide network of contacts, so nothing Gu Qichuan knows is surprising.

“I also felt that it was not easy for them, they were bleeding and crying. I couldn’t bear to see it, so I took the initiative to help.” Shen Qingli said in a low voice.

“Then you dare to go to the cowshed alone in the middle of the night. What if you meet bad guys? What if you meet someone’s wolfdog? Do you think they are all Xiao Hei and Da Huang? I will listen to you.” Gu Qichuan couldn’t help but said a few more harsh words.

Shen Qingli lowered her head with an expression that said, “Okay, okay, just say whatever you want to say. I can’t resist anyway.”

Zhou Yubai looked at his wife lovingly, “Next time, I’ll go with you. Don’t go alone, we’re worried. When we went back, Ruirui was walking around the yard, he was worried about you too.”

“Okay, I understand. I was not thoughtful enough this time and made you worry.” Shen Qingli admitted her mistake sincerely.

Gu Qichuan was so angry that he couldn’t vent it.

“Let’s go back first. Zhou Yubai and I have killed a wild boar, as well as a lot of rabbits and pheasants. We have to process them overnight. They will be used when we build a house and provide meals in two days.”

“The people at the brick factory sent a letter saying that they would have to wait two days to deliver the bricks. They will arrive in four days,” Zhou Yubai said.

“These two days won’t make a difference anyway, so we can prepare more.” Shen Qingli responded with a smile.

The three of them walked and talked as they returned to the courtyard.

Looking at the yard full of prey, Shen Qingli gave a thumbs up.

“When you two are together, your luck is incredible. It’s only been a short time, and you’ve already killed so many prey.”

Zhou Yubai and Gu Qichuan looked at each other and separated immediately. They would not tell Shen Qingli that they would start the competition as soon as they entered the mountain…

When Gou Wa heard the voice and saw Shen Qingli, his heart finally settled down and he breathed a sigh of relief.

“Ruirui, I’m sorry for making you worry.” Shen Qingli looked at Gou Wa and said solemnly.

“Mom, you don’t have to apologize.” Gou Wa said hurriedly. The little guy was a little flustered. Shen Qingli respected him too much… This feeling is indescribable. He just felt his chest swollen and warm.

“It’s very late now, Ruirui, go back to your room and sleep first.” Shen Qingli rubbed Gou Wa’s head.

Gou Wa nodded obediently and went back to the house to sleep.

Watching the wild boars, rabbits and pheasants in the yard.

Shen Qingli thought for a moment.

“Let’s smoke the pheasants and rabbits, make a small portion of the wild boar into bacon, and the other half into jar meat. The ribs, offal, and some of the fresh meat can be eaten directly.”

“Okay.” Zhou Yubai and Gu Qichuan had no objection.

The three of them began to get busy.

We boiled pot after pot of hot water before we finally plucked all the hair from the prey.

In the meantime, Shen Qingli and Zhou Yubai went to the foot of the mountain to get some cypress branches for smoking.

Originally, Shen Qingli suggested that she take Dahuang and Xiaohei with her, but Zhou Yubai and Gu Qichuan disagreed. In the end, Zhou Yubai accompanied Shen Qingli while Gu Qichuan continued to pluck the hair.

Shen Qingli prepared the fire for smoking the meat, and the three of them put the processed ingredients on it.

There was no need to keep watching the smoked meat, so Shen Qingli asked Gu Qichuan to go to bed first and asked him to ask for leave from Zhou Yubai tomorrow morning. It just so happened that Zhou Yubai could accompany her to repair the house for Zhuang Mu and Qin Zhi.

Gu Qichuan didn’t say anything polite and went back to his room and went to sleep.

He didn’t know if it was because he drank the water Shen Qingli made for him, or because the environment had improved a lot after moving, but in any case, he no longer had insomnia. He tidied himself up and fell asleep immediately.

Zhou Yubai and Shen Qingli were the only ones left in the kitchen.

Shen Qingli first cut the pork into cubes, then threw a part of it into the pot to boil the oil, and asked Zhou Yubai to continue cutting.

The two worked until the early morning before they finally finished cooking the meat in a jar. This not only prevents the meat from going bad, but also gives it a unique flavor.

After sealing the jar, the two men went to check on the smoked meat. The smoked meat was also ready. They moved everything to the cellar together, then washed up and went to bed.

The next morning…
