Chapter 4 On the way home
Gu Shuixiu felt a little sad when she heard this, but she was very curious about the Dong family and began to ask Dong Chenghu all the time.
Only then did I realize that Dong Chenghu was the only one in the Dong family now. Dong Chenghu's father had passed away for three years. He had been mourning for three years. After three years, he immediately went to Caozi Village to hire him. However, the family who had been engaged to Dong's father back then actually repented. In order to compensate Dong Chenghu, he told Gu Shuixiu to him.
Gu Shuixiu didn’t have to think that Gu Zhenzhu was engaged to Dong Chenghu before.
"Do you really want to marry me?" Gu Shuixiu said this without thinking.
Dong Chenghu was stunned for a moment and nodded heavily and said, "The Gu Laifu family looked down on the poor and loved the rich. They looked down on me, and I didn't want to get up. Although I was angry, I thought about it later and thought about it, I planned to take the initiative to quit the bride. It was not sweet to force melon.
But before I quit the bride, they took the initiative to tell me about the marriage. I also inquired about your family. I heard that you are a gentle and kind girl, so I followed the Gu Laifu family's wishes. But you, it's really aggrieved you to marry me, a poor hunter."
Dong Chenghu never thought that Gu Shuixiu would give him such a big surprise. Gu Shuixiu had to be beautiful, had a figure, was very well-educated, and gentle. He was indeed a step ahead.
It is not easy for hunters in the mountains to get married, especially such an outstanding and beautiful girl. I don’t know if Gu Shuixiu can adapt to the hunter’s life. Dong Chenghu was a little nervous when he thought of this.
But Gu Shuixiu shook her head indifferently, "It's the same wherever she gets married. My temperament is not suitable for too complicated families. Although you don't have much money, you are the only one in your family. I can make the decision by myself after marrying, and there is no need to suppress it. There are pros and cons."
Gu Shuixiu is telling the truth. The two are already husband and wife. If they don’t say something, they will inevitably have grudges in their lives in the future.
Dong Chenghu was relieved and secretly made up his mind to make good money so that Gu Shuixiu could live a good life.
The two of them spoke in unison, and soon they arrived at the valley where the Qin family was.
The house made of stones in front of me should be the Qin family.
Dong Chenghu stepped forward and slapped the door happily, but no one answered for a while. He scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "It seems that the Qin family has gone out, so let's go back directly!"
Gu Shuixiu nodded, according to Dong Chenghu's intention.
When the two left the valley, they saw a big river with a bamboo raft by the river.
Dong Chenghu carefully helped Gu Shuixiu to the bamboo raft and slowly paddled with the bamboo pole.
Gu Shuixiu has lived for two lifetimes and has never been on a bamboo raft. She is so novel. Did she put her hands in the water? The river water is clear and cold, and instantly soothe Gu Shuixiu's uneasy heart.
When Dong Chenghu saw that she was having fun, he also enjoyed himself.
The bamboo raft kept walking forward, and when he turned around at a bend, a stone wall immediately appeared in front of him. It seemed that this was the bottom of a cliff.
After Dong Chenghu got to the dock, he immediately helped Gu Shuixiu to the shore and carried it on his back.
"We'll almost reach our house after two more mountains." Seeing that the sun was about to set west, Dong Chenghu quickly accelerated his pace. If he couldn't go back before dark, he might have to make trouble again.
Gu Shuixiu naturally knew that it was dark and she would be unable to see her fingers in the mountains. If she lit a torch and was afraid of attracting wild animals, she obediently lay on Dong Chenghu's back and stopped talking to him.
This way, the journey was indeed much faster. The two finally walked through the woods before it got dark and arrived at Dong Chenghu's home.
Looking at the so-called home in front of him, Gu Shuixiu lost her mind for a moment.
The house in front of me is called a house, but it is a shed made of bamboo, vines and wooden boards. The whole house is leaning against the mountain wall, which saves more effort.
Gu Shuixiu swallowed. If it rained heavily, would it rain inside?
Dong Chenghu seemed to know that his "home" was not very good, and he didn't dare to look at Gu Shuixiu in the face.
"This is our family. Because I was alone before, I have always lived in the cave inside, and the outside house is where I usually place prey and tools."
Gu Shuixiu widened her eyes in surprise, "Cao?" Could it be that there is an entrance to a cave in this shed?
When Gu Shuixiu entered the Dong family, she realized that it was exactly the same as what she thought.
There were several holes on the roof of the house, and it would rain without heavy rain. There were some stones on the ground, and there were two wooden shelves next to it, with various tools placed on it. It seemed that Dong Chenghu should have used hunting.
Open a bamboo curtain and walk in to the cave. The terrain of the cave is obviously much higher than the ground. It takes about five or six stone steps to get up. The things in the cave are also very simple. A wooden bed with lots of hay, a torn quilt on it, and there is a cabinet next to it. It should be filled with Dong Chenghu's clothes and the like.
This family is even simpler than Gu Shuixiu's family. If you want to say that Gu Mingde's family is already poor, Dong Chenghu's family is not as poor as even.
Gu Shuixiu subconsciously came out of the cave and searched around the shed, but there was not even a grain of rice in the rice jar.
Gu Shuixiu's heart was instantly cool.
Dong Chenghu scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "I... wait, I'll check if there is prey in the trap. Let's deal with it tonight. I'll go hunting and exchange rice tomorrow morning."
Gu Shuixiu seemed to have never heard of it. What he thought was that Dong Chenghu didn't know how he lived. He didn't have any surplus food at home. Hunting didn't have any harvest every day. If he didn't hunt anything, wouldn't he have to eat the northwest wind?
Thinking of this, Gu Shuixiu's face became even worse and worse.
Dong Chenghu thought Gu Shuixiu despised his family background, and racked his brains to think about how to coax Gu Shuixiu.
"Let's make this arrangement for now, but we will have to find a way to get some food storage tomorrow. Fortunately, it's still spring now, so there's no need to worry about winter."
Gu Shuixiu looked around the house again, feeling that the road was long and hard.
Dong Chenghu breathed a sigh of relief and hurried out to find prey.
He was so familiar with the deep mountains that he could not be familiar with them anymore. He knew very well where he could go, where he could not go, where he would be hunted.
Gu Shuixiu took advantage of Dong Chenghu's departure and immediately changed her wedding clothes and put on the torn clothes at home before. Although the clothes were a little worn, they were easy to work.
When Dong Chenghu came back, he found that the price of his original home where he had piled up miscellaneous items was much more expensive.
Dong Chenghu was deeply touched that this woman was different.
"You are back? But have you caught something? I saw that there was no light in the room. It was dark and I might fall when I walked."
Gu Shuixiu frowned slightly, and faced the Dong family, which was barely barely, it was like a clever wife who could not cook without rice.
