With space in hand, who dares to mess with the villain's stepmother?

Chapter 7 007. Antler
The next morning, when Gu Xiaoxiao woke up, the children had just woken up.

So he told Dabao to let him go to the kitchen to cook some rice, and Sibao and Erbao offered to help Dabao light the fire.

Gu Xiaoxiao, on the other hand, took the small cloth bag of polished rice that was distributed yesterday, and went to Aunt Li's house next door.

Aunt Li's wife passed away, and the children have grown up, and they all go out to work. Aunt Li doesn't need to plant too much land, just self-sufficiency is enough, and the children will send money back from time to time. Originally, the children didn't want to make Aunt Li so tired. , The money sent back is enough for Aunt Li to live on, but the old man who has been doing farm work all his life can't stay idle, as long as he farms a little, he feels comfortable.

Gu Xiaoxiao stepped forward and knocked on the door, and the door was opened from the inside. Aunt Li popped her head out and saw that it was Gu Xiaoxiao, her complexion became a little ugly.Why is this evil star coming again!
Last night, she heard the child next door crying again. It must be that this woman has vented her anger on the child again!
Gu Xiaoxiao didn't seem to see Aunt Li's face, she still kept a polite smile, raised the small cloth bag in her hand, and said, "Aunt Li, I'm here to return the rice."

At this time, Aunt Li looked down and saw the bag in Gu Xiaoxiao's hand. She recognized that it was the cloth bag she gave the day before yesterday, but now she saw that it was still bulging inside.Looked like it was as much as she gave it out.

Aunt Li's expression froze, and she actually returned the rice.She was a little surprised.

Gu Xiaoxiao didn't say much, and handed the bag to Aunt Li. Seeing Aunt Li took it, she thanked her and went home.

Aunt Li stared at the cloth bag in her hand, and it took a long time to regain her senses. She slowly opened it, but was surprised to see the extremely high-quality polished rice inside. She had never eaten polished rice in her life, and with that money, she could buy a lot of bran. What about rice?

At this moment, Aunt Li looked in the direction of Gu Xiaoxiao's house, Gu Xiaoxiao had already entered, and there was no one to be seen.

But it made her feel mixed feelings, and she was very entangled for a while.Has Gu Xiaoxiao really changed for the better?

Gu Xiaoxiao didn't care about Aunt Li's surprise behind her, and went straight home. When she walked into the house, she was very relieved to see that Dabao, Second Treasure and Four Treasures were really cooking porridge in the kitchen.

Turning her head, she saw that Sanbao, who had nothing to do, was seriously washing the clothes they changed yesterday, and Gu Xiaoxiao's face suddenly changed.

Because firewood is used to boil water for cooking in rural areas, cold water is generally used for washing clothes.

Gu Xiaoxiao rushed over and immediately took Sanbao's hand out of the basin. ...It really is cold!

She immediately held the bitingly cold little hands in her palms and rubbed them, breathing heavily, trying her best to warm them up.

Seeing his stepmother's actions, Sanbao felt very warm in his heart, and he felt a little bit of his heartfelt happiness.

The stepmother was caring about him. At this moment, he felt that his hands were not so cold, because his heart was warm.

The other three who heard the movement ran over, and were really stunned watching this scene.

Gu Xiaoxiao felt that her hands were warmer, so she calmed down and raised her head and said to Dabao, Erbao and Sibao: "From now on, you are not allowed to use cold water for work, do you understand? No matter what you do, if you use water, you must heat it up first. You are still young, using cold water is very bad for your health, understand?!" The three little ones nodded ignorantly.

She was very satisfied with the performance of the three of them.Indeed, even if the body does not have severe cold like the three treasures, it should not touch cold things too much. After all, cold can easily erode the body in daily life.

Then she turned back to look at Sanbao and said, "When you do these things in the future, you should also heat the water. You can ask Dabao and Erbao to help you. They are your elder brothers. You can ask them for help! In short, you can't touch those things." Cold things, understand?"

Sanbao looked at the eldest brother and the second brother, seeing them looking at him with smiles on their faces, the tension in his heart relaxed a bit, then turned his gaze to Gu Xiaoxiao, and nodded slightly after a while.

Seeing Gu Xiaoxiao bursting into a bright smile in an instant, in Sanbao's eyes, the corners of his mouth unknowingly raised slightly, still with a very faint arc.

After the second treasure and the fourth treasure took Sanbao to work together in the kitchen, Dabao stood there and stared at Gu Xiaoxiao with complicated eyes. Gu Xiaoxiao also looked at Dabao who seemed to have something to ask, raised his eyebrows and waited for him Open your mouth.

After a long time, even Gu Xiaoxiao thought that he would not say anything more, only to hear Dabao finally said seriously: "Is there something wrong with Sanbao's body? That's why you don't let us touch cold things." He Last night, I saw the hand of this woman secretly giving the pulse of the Three Treasures, and at that time the woman's face was ugly for a moment.

Gu Xiaoxiao was a little surprised, he didn't expect his observation to be so subtle, "You, as their big brother, will take the lead." He didn't answer directly, but he affirmed his guess in a disguised form.

The darker Dabao's eyes became, he also understood the implication of the woman's words. As the eldest brother, he was obliged to supervise them and protect them, especially Sanbao.

Then he bit his lower lip, looked at the woman solemnly, and bowed deeply.No matter what happened before, she cured his father's illness, she also took care of Sanbao's body, and never let them go hungry again. As a man, he should be grateful that he can't choose to ignore it. That's not what a gentleman does.

Gu Xiaoxiao looked at the appearance of the young adult in front of him, and accepted his bow straight away, without avoiding it.They should be grateful to her, and she can fully afford it.

Immediately after breakfast, Gu Xiaoxiao let the four little ones stay at home, and then she put on the basket and went up the mountain with the axe.

Zhou Zeyun was still asleep. Although he had recovered a lot due to the water from the spiritual spring, his sleep time was still longer than normal, so he couldn't eat breakfast naturally.

He went straight to Gu Xiaoxiao in the deep mountains, and went to the trap set yesterday.

Just like yesterday, I sprinkled some medicinal powder into the pit and covered it with weeds, and then left it alone.Going deeper today.

Gu Xiaoxiao threw the ax into the basket behind him, and replaced it with a dagger in his hand.While digging the herbs, he moved forward inside.

Soon it was noon again, and it was time to go home and cook.

She scanned the space with her consciousness for today's "results of battle", which are some common herbs for her, such as common ginseng and ganoderma in large quantities.Still haven't found the two herbs needed by Zhou Zeyun for the antidote.

Let's do this for today, Gu Xiaoxiao went to the trap and looked inside.

She was surprised by this sight, there lay a wounded juvenile sika deer inside, it was still a male, still kicking its legs unwillingly.

Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up. The velvet antler of this male sika deer can just replace one of the herbs that Zhou Zeyun needs for the antidote, cistanche.

Originally, Cistanche was cheaper and more common than velvet antler, but unexpectedly, she encountered the rarer and more valuable velvet antler first. The medicinal value of velvet antler is much more than that of Cistanche.

Antlers grow twice a year, and only male sika deer grow antlers.

Gu Xiaoxiao lamented her amazing luck, because not only did she meet the sika deer, which is designated as a "national first-class protected animal" in modern times, but also the antler on the head of this sika deer has not yet ossified into antlers.

The initial form of antlers is antlers, which become hard antlers as they grow and ossify, and then fade off automatically after maturity, and antlers re-grow.

Gu Xiaoxiao cut off the antler on the sika deer's head with a dagger, which will not harm its life, but needs to stop the bleeding as soon as possible, then wrap him up and put him into the space.

It needs healing, and she can take care of it.I just wanted to take it home and release it after the wound healed.

Gu Xiaoxiao has no intention of keeping it. After all, her thinking is still in the last century. This kind of wild sika deer should live in the mountains and forests. She still has to strictly abide by the "National Wildlife Protection Law" and cannot deprive it of its free.

So I don't want the villagers to see the sika deer, otherwise they may have to share the meat for meat. After all, there is no law here.

There was nothing else in the trap, so Gu Xiaoxiao went down the mountain after cleaning up.

Still at the door of the house, I took the sika deer out of the space and put it in the basket. The sika deer has passed out, but it is not serious, and the wounds have been treated.

Then when they entered the house, the cubs saw a sika deer they had never seen before, their big eyes were shining, and their faces were full of curiosity and excitement.

"Mom! You said this thing is called a sika deer? It sounds so good~ it should taste good too!" Erbao smacked his lips.

Since that day when he called his mother out of excitement, he seemed to have no restraint, thinking about it, he made a mistake, and what can he do if he yells all the time.So this "mother" he called more and more smoothly.In fact, he is very happy in his heart, he also has a mother's child!
However, he actually still has a little thought, he still has the picture of the stepmother driving Wu Huilan away in his mind, it's so cool!So he wants his mother to teach him, at least if someone bullies them again, he can stand up and beat those people away!

At this time, seeing the excited four treasures of the sika deer on the face of the second brother, he pouted, "Second brother, you are so cruel! Look at how beautiful this sika deer looks, how can you bear to eat it~"

Sibao carefully looked at the sika deer's big eyes, long eyelashes, and yellow and white spots all over its body, and he liked it very much.

Dabao looked at the second and fourth younger brothers surrounded by the sika deer, then looked up at Gu Xiaoxiao and asked, "What do you want to do with this deer?" His tone was flat.

Gu Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows, "What else can I do? Didn't you see that it was injured? Of course, let it heal!" I don't know why, every time I talk to this big treasure, I want to choke him. It's so irritating!

As soon as the words came out, Dabao was stunned, some did not expect that this woman would be so kind,...it seems that she has been very kind these days.

After Er Bao heard Gu Xiaoxiao's words, his face wrinkled, and he instantly became depressed.It's over!Can't eat anymore!

After that, the sika deer settled down smoothly in their house. Although Erbao still coveted its body that looked so tight and elastic, he also wanted to grind the stepmother a bit to make her change her mind.But it still didn't work, so he could only comfort his poor stomach with a face of resentment.

After that, Gu Xiaoxiao went to the kitchen to work on lunch, and the four little ones also came to help consciously.

Let's eat spicy rabbit today. The rabbit caught before has been in the space for a day. The sika deer can't eat it, so let's eat rabbit!

Chop the head, peel the skin, cut into pieces, and put it into the pot in one go. The four little ones couldn't do their best, so they could only watch helplessly.

Add oil and stir-fry chili until fragrant, add sugar and soy sauce, add some chili powder to make it spicy and refreshing, and finally cold water flows over the rabbit body, cover and stew.

Many spices here have not been developed, so we can only try our best to make them simple, but she believes that the taste will not be bad!

After a while, the scent came out again, and Erbao completely forgot about the sika deer, and was looking forward to the smell of rabbit meat wholeheartedly.

After waiting for a while, he opened the lid and came out of the pot. The soft and tender rabbit meat came into view with heat, and it was stewed until it turned red. It seemed much tastier than the chicken soup before. Gu Xiaoxiao smiled with satisfaction. .

When it was brought to the dining table in the bedroom, the children followed with their bowls and chopsticks. Zhou Zeyun on the bed also woke up and sat up by himself. Seeing another pot of meat, his eyebrows frowned slightly.This Gu Xiaoxiao is really amazing!
Chicken before, now rabbit meat, even if she brings anything now, he will no longer suspect that she stole it!

The cubs still followed in excitedly, Zhou Zeyun saw it and felt happy.

But then he was lonely for a moment, and now he is the only burden left in the family. The children can do housework at home, and Gu Xiaoxiao has great abilities. Only he is a useless person. Xiao Xiao took care of him.

Seeing Gu Xiaoxiao walking towards him with a good bowl of rabbit meat and polished rice, Zhou Zeyun became even more angry with himself. Why waste a waste that can't even eat by itself, it's better to die Got it!
As soon as the thought came out, it seemed that he had released his depression and depression for so long, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he should no longer live on!

So when Gu Xiaoxiao sat on the edge of the bed and scooped up a mouthful of meat and was about to hand it over, she saw Zhou Zeyun lying down by herself, covered the quilt, and said in a cold tone: "I'm not hungry now, I want to rest."

Gu Xiaoxiao looked bewildered, wondering why he had such a sudden temper.

snort!She even gave Gu Xiaoxiao a face, and if she didn't eat it, she wouldn't eat it, she wouldn't coax her!If she eats, she will piss him off!

Gu Xiaoxiao put the scooped-up piece of meat into her mouth angrily, pouted her mouth, and stared at the quilt.

Because Zhou Zeyun covered her head, she could only see the quilt covering Zhou Zeyun's body.And Zhou Zeyun in the quilt didn't see Gu Xiaoxiao's actions, otherwise he would know that Gu Xiaoxiao was wrong.

He was angry with himself, not at her!
At this time, she felt a little panicked, and she tried her best to take care of it, but it still didn't please her, hum!do not care!Leave alone!

Men are like clothes, you can't change this one, if it wasn't for his good looks, she wouldn't care about him!

As soon as she turned around, she saw the four cubs eating meat at the dining table, without the fear and hostility in her eyes when she first saw them. Thinking of it this way, she was not in vain, at least these cubs are now got close to her.

Although Dabao is still a little wary and indifferent towards her, the other three cubs have gradually let go of their wariness towards her.

snort!Let's stay for these cubs, she promised not to let them go on the same track.

Sighing deeply, since she came here, why did she even have a soft heart...

So after having lunch and digesting the food, Gu Xiaoxiao, in order to show her cold heart and indifference, dragged the four children to teach them how to box. Disappeared, and two... The children are too weak, especially Sanbao, the cold is tormenting him in the body, so he should be allowed to exercise more.

But what Gu Xiaoxiao didn't expect was that Erbao was very excited when he saw that he was teaching them how to punch, as if it hit his heart.

It is true, he has long been envious of his stepmother's "bluffing" moves, but at this moment he has not realized that Gu Xiaoxiao is not bluffing at all, but has real ability!

Gu Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes, and took a deep look at Erbao.In the original book, it was Erbao who succeeded Zhou Zeyun as general after his death.Now that he is so young, he can see Erbao's love for martial arts.

But he is brave and foolish, relying on his brute strength, otherwise he will not end up so miserable if he rushes to the position of general!

Just like Zhou Zeyun, if the heroine hadn't lured him with the four sons, Zhou Zeyun would not have caught him without a fight.

In the original book, Dabao later became the Minister of Dali Temple, so the heroine will use him to climb high.

Sanbao did not enter the officialdom, but he made and refined poison, worked behind closed doors, and was autistic and gloomy.Unfortunately, there have been no outstanding results.

As for Sibao, because he was beaten and scolded the most when he was a child, he was timid and cowardly, and looked like a dementia. He had been raised by Dabao, and he stepped out of the house once when Dabao rebelled, and that was the last time.

Gu Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes again, looked around, and all four cubs came into view. If they are destined to go that way, all she can do is to cultivate their abilities now, to check for omissions and make up for vacancies.

She decided to hire private tutors for a few children!After all, they are too young now, and the school still refuses to accept them.

All conspiracies and paradoxes are based on one's own knowledge, but in the book they lack a good foundation!
There will be too many repairs in the future, so she has to hurry up and make money!Gu Xiaoxiao pressed the thoughts in her heart and came back to her senses.

Right now, the cubs are practicing the first set of boxing she taught. Sibao listens carefully to his mother's words, and Sanbao feels tired after practicing a few times. As the eldest brother, Dabao also knows that this boxing technique is beneficial to them, so he insists on practicing.

The most excited one was Er Bao, who originally wanted to learn some martial arts to deal with those who bullied them.But after getting in touch with this boxing technique, the more he practiced, the more vigorous he became. Later, he came up with his own ideas, learned from one set of moves, and used them flexibly. He himself didn't expect that he was so clear-headed at this moment.

But Gu Xiaoxiao knew it, because she had been giving them Lingquan water for the past few days, adding a few drops to their meals, a few drops to their dishes, and even a lot of drops to their usual drinking water.

In addition to improving their spirit and conditioning their bodies, their brains will also be developed over time, but it is uncertain how much they will improve.

She was also a little surprised that the Lingquan water actually made Erbao proficient in martial arts, but she still couldn't be foolish, which made Gu Xiaoxiao even more determined to hire a teacher for them!

Beads of sweat ooze from the foreheads of the brats, and it's almost the same today, Gu Xiaoxiao yelled to stop.Then he said: "From now on, you will have to punch for an hour every morning before you can eat breakfast, understand?" Practicing on an empty stomach is good for their health, otherwise it is easy to turn the stomach when they are full, and they can absorb it in the morning. The essence of the sun and the moon, the freshest air, is of great benefit to those who practice martial arts.

She lowered her head and looked at her slightly smaller belly. From now on, she will also practice martial arts early in the morning. It is still too slow to lose weight only by dieting!

In the last days, practicing martial arts early in the morning was the habit of their agents, but they became more and more lazy when they came here, and this can no longer be the case!
After the cubs nodded, they were let to rest, but Erbao was in high spirits and had no intention of stopping at all.
"Mom, I'll practice again, and I'm not tired yet!"

Gu Xiaoxiao looked at him and smiled, agreeing.

　Let me work hard and code words~ Babies, please collect more~
