The Path of the Peasant Girl

Chapter 36 036 Looking for Hu Gu

Zuo Shi said: "I'll go to Old Master Qu's house to see, find Jingming, and then go to the village to ask if there are hunters, and ask them to help dig traps."

When Wen shi heard this, he had the motivation to go out and left quickly.

Then Zuo Jiang shouted that he wanted to go with Zuo Shi to find brother Jing Ming and Mr. Qu, Zuo Shi had no choice but to agree.

"Xiao Shi is here, sit down, Jing Ming is coming, Xiao Shi and Xiao Jiang are here to see you."

Mr. Qu warmly welcomed the two brothers and sisters in, with a particularly bright smile on his face, and the thick wrinkles turned into a chrysanthemum.

Qu Jingming also ran out of the wing, looking at the siblings with a smile: "Xiao Shi, Xiao Jiang, come and play with me, let's go, let's go fishing by the river."

After that, he pulled the two of them and went outside.

Zuo Shi hurriedly grabbed him: "I have something to do with Grandpa Qu. When we are done, can we go? Also, I want to ask you for help."

Qu Jingming paused, pulled her to sit back again: "What's the matter?"

Zuo Shi said something.

Old Man Qu's face darkened.

Qu Jingming couldn't help but cocked his feet.

The two families have come all the way, and they have experienced so much hardship. They have long regarded each other as their relatives. Now that they hear someone plotting against Wen's family, they can't help but get angry.

"Then what kind of bastard is Liu Dakui? A big man is embarrassed to go outside because of his embarrassment. If he really dares to do anything against you, I will be the first to forgive him!" Mr. Qu said angrily.

He is an old man and he naturally knows what Zuo Shi's remarks mean, and he also understands the crisis their family is facing. This is someone who is coveting them.

"Your mother is right, you should leave early. I will ask Jing Ming to help you dig traps. There is a hunter in the village named Hu Gu. His hunting skills are very good, and digging traps is also a must. I will invite him over now. help you."

After Mr. Qu finished speaking, he took Zuo Shi and the others out, but he didn't want to wait for a quarter of an hour.

Zuo Shi also feels that this matter cannot be delayed. Arrange it early and be safe as soon as possible. There is nothing more important than this.

She just wanted a peace of mind now, so she didn't refuse.

Hu Gu's family lives in the most remote forest at the west end of the village. It takes about a quarter of an hour to walk there. Because the family is a hunter, Hu Gu deliberately built his home in this place, one is quiet, and the other is convenient for going up the mountain.

Seeing the visit of Mr. Qu, Hu Gu was a little surprised.

"Master Qu is looking for me, but there is something?" He wondered why Master Qu was looking for him, and there were three dolls behind him.

Do you want to come to his house?

No, he is the only one in his family.

Shouldn't visiting people go to homes with children and women?
Mr. Qu didn't go around the corner: "I'm here today to ask Brother Hu to do me a favor."

"You said." Hu Gu guessed what he was about to say and wanted to ask him for help.

Is it because you want to eat meat, so you specifically asked them to buy meat?

There is no butcher in the village, and no one buys meat. Because it is a hunter, some small animals are often very active.When a family especially wants to eat meat, they will occasionally come to his house to buy it.

However, his prey was basically hit directly and sent to the town to find him to buy, and there were relatively few people.

If you want to eat meat, you will usually go to the town to buy it, and you will not come to him.

"I want to ask Brother Hu to help me lay a few traps at home," said Mr. Qu.

"Setting traps at home?" Hu Gu's brows were tied into a knot.

Why set traps at home, what if you step on them?

Mr. Qu said: "I just want to ensure the safety of the children at home, and I want to set up traps on the edge of the wall to prevent those with ill-conceived minds from climbing over the wall and entering. You also know that the newly moved Zuo family, the man who does not have a strong family, will always Recruited some people with bad minds to covet."

"Brother Hu is a right-minded man, with superb hunting skills, and he will be able to set up traps. Don't worry, you won't be allowed to dig a trap for five cents. As long as you dig traps all over the wall and the edge of the house, the traps in your home will not be lost. People will be safe. We will never default on our debts, and we will dig one for five cents."

Hu Gu raised his eyebrows, a little surprised that he was willing to pay such a high price.

But he is also a kind person, and is not willing to take advantage of it: "Forget it, I want to keep up with the frog sounds, and I don't know how many traps I want, so let's go. For a tael, I will dig all the walls of your house full of traps."

Zuo Shi quickly jumped out and thanked: "Thank you Uncle Hu, you are really a great benefactor to our family."

Just like the nonsense traps, there are also big and small traps. If one is given five cents, if he digs a small one, his family can't even get so much money.

Old Man Qu was also embarrassed. Thinking of the loophole in his words just now, he glanced at Zuo Shi with guilt, and his impression of Hu Gu was even better.

"Then let's go now, it's best to finish digging as soon as possible." Mr. Qu said.

Hu Gu did not refuse, anyway, this matter will be done sooner or later, so there will be no more delay.

Zuo Shi was inadvertently instructing them: "Uncle Hu, when people outside my house ask questions, you say I want to ask you to help with the pigsty, but don't tell anyone that you are digging in my house. It's a trap, and people won't know what to say about our family by then."

Hu Gu laughed and agreed.

Zuo Shi was also very happy when he saw that he agreed readily, and asked again: "Uncle Hu, did you see thorns and thorns when you were taking care of the trees on the mountain? I want to transplant a circle around the roots of the wall at home."

Hu Gu was taken aback. He was trying to create something in his home, digging traps and planting thorns. It seemed that he paid special attention to safety, but it was true for people like them, so he should take precautions. .

Hu Gu couldn't see anything on his face and said, "There is a place with many thorny trees. When I have time, I will transplant it for you."

Zuo Shi smiled and said: "Then thank Uncle Hu, wait for the nonsense to transplant these trees, and I will give Uncle Hu two taels of silver."

It is not a small project to dig the book out of the mountain, move it back to plant it, and buy another circle.

Two taels of silver should be about the same.

Hu Gu thought for a while, then nodded: "Okay, but it's up to your adults to call the shots."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Mr. Qu with his eyes.

Mr. Qu nodded and said with a smile, "Brother Hu, you don't know that this little girl is very skilled. He can make the most of her family's affairs, so you can rest assured."

Hu Gu was even more surprised.

Whose two or three taels of silver trade, let a child call the shots?

But seeing the appearance of the old man Qu and Zuo Shi, but they don't seem to be fake, this family is really strange.

Hu Gu also felt the surprise in his heart and followed the two to Zuo's house.
