Chapter 8
In the pine forest, there are a lot of pine hairs on the ground. It is best to take it home and set it on fire after it has been dried.

Hongdou just glanced at it, then walked towards the foot of the mountain along the path in the forest.

-

It was clearly the beginning of spring, when everything was supposed to be revived, but when I looked around, I couldn't see any green.

Edible wild vegetables were dug home as soon as they emerged, and even things like leaves were picked up by people who were really in trouble, and they took them back to cook and eat.

The rolling mountains that can't be seen at a glance are as desolate as winter.

Hong Dou sighed and walked into the mountain.

Knowing that there will be no gains, I still want to go in and take a look.

After entering the mountains, I found that the mountains were extremely quiet, with no insects or birds, let alone pheasants and hares.

After walking for more than two quarters of an hour, seeing that the surrounding scenery remained unchanged, Hongdou could only give up and turned to leave.

Just a few steps away, Hongdou heard a rustling sound.

A layer of cold sweat broke out on the back instantly, and Hongdou felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

She is in the mountain now, although it is only on the periphery, but what if some wild beast ran out of the mountain because of hunger?
Hong Dou looked around vigilantly, only feeling like a light on his back.

She seemed to be really stared at by something.

Just as she was about to hide in the supermarket, she suddenly heard a somewhat hoarse voice.

"What are you doing here alone?"

Hong Dou heard the sound and looked, and saw a boy in coarse linen walking towards her.

The boy was much taller than her, and he looked to be fourteen or fifteen, but he was as thin as a bamboo pole, and his complexion was a little sallow.

Hong Dou was just stunned for a moment, then remembered who this person was.

Kaoshan Village is not too small, with about 200 households.

The boy in front of him is named Gu Zian, and his father, Gu Changping, is the only educated person in the village.

Gu Changping came to the backer village with Gu Zian, who was still a baby, more than ten years ago.

At that time, it was said that he had fled. As for Gu Zian's mother, she had a difficult labor when giving birth to Gu Zian, so she went there at that time.

The village chief took pity on him as a big man with a child to make a living, so he let him settle down in the village.

At that time, Gu Changping still had some money, so he bought a foundation at the end of the village and built a large yard.

Because it is close to the mountain, the courtyard wall is higher than other houses, and with two thick wooden doors, once the door is closed, nothing can be seen from the outside.

When Hongdou first came here, she also saw the yard, and she was very envious.

If she could also have such a yard, she wouldn't have to worry about her secret being discovered.

Gu Zian's family has no land, and it is said that after the house was built, Gu Changping had little money left.

Gu Changping's health is not good, but fortunately he still has some knowledge, so he discussed with the village chief to set up a school at home.

Although there are not many Shuxiu, but because there are not many children who come to school, they can support both father and son.

It's just that after the drought last year, every family can't eat enough to eat. Naturally, it is impossible to let children spend money to study.

Gu Zian is different from his father, although he is very thin, he has a lot of strength.

He has followed the people in the village into the mountains since he was a child. Although he is young, he is a good hunter.

Relying on him to hunt, the Gu family has survived until now.

But judging from Hongdou, the Gu family's life should be very difficult now.

The drought has been going on for more than a year, and prey in the mountains are getting harder and harder to hunt.

Their family doesn't even have a meager farm income, so they don't know if they can drink two thin meals a day.
