Chapter 85 085. Food
"What do you think the Gu family is thinking? They've fallen on hard times, but they still have to divide people into different classes. Look at the night before last, Gu Kaiyuan's two brothers were shivering and hiding aside. Gu Kaiyuan was extremely brave and helped us a lot." Guo Baozhu also came over to help, slowly making the fire burn.

"This Third Master Gu must have practiced this. If he had been given a weapon at that time, maybe he could have killed a few men in black." Guo Baozhu said with some admiration. Gu Kaiyuan helped him at that time, otherwise he might have been injured.

Liu Pingkang sat aside, smiling but saying nothing. He was well aware of Gu Kaiyuan's skills, and he knew that they were even better than his own.

Last night he also wanted to give the other party a knife, but it was against the rules, and he was afraid that the Gu family was directing and acting out the incident.

But next time this happens, I can give it some trust.

"I wonder if Mr. Gu San can come back with some hunting so we can have something to eat."

The last time, Gu Kaiyuan gave them two wild rabbits, which they skinned and roasted. Although each person only got a small portion, the taste was still so satisfying.

……

Gu Baijiang suffered a lot in the past two days, but he was still willing to spend some money to ask someone for some medicine. Now there are scabs on his face, which looks a bit hideous and scary.

Gu Anliang's fever did not subside. Liu Yun begged everyone for help and finally bought him another dose of fever-reducing medicine, and he was finally safe.

Because of his face, Gu Baijiang was in a very bad mood, and the Gu family tried to avoid him.

"There's nothing left today," Xu Huizhen looked at the empty food bag and couldn't help holding her stomach.

I cooked a pot of porridge last night, but today I can't even drink it.

"Why is this steamed bun so hard and sour?" Gu Kaiping took back the family's rations with an ugly look on his face.

The food is getting worse day by day, is there any hope for survival?
"How can we eat this?" Gu Kaichen opened the bag and took a look. The foul smell that hit his nose made him cover his nose. "What's the difference between this and what we got in the prison? I thought they were pretty good before, but I didn't expect them to be the same."

"What? Did the steamed bun fall out?" This mattered to the family's food supply for the day. Xu Huizhen hurried over and took the bag.

"What's going on?" Not only the Gu family was making a fuss, but other families also started clamoring.

Liu Pingkang cracked his whip a few times in the open space, and everyone quieted down. He then said, "What are you arguing about? We've been traveling for several days, so it's normal for the food to go bad.

Eat it if you want to, throw it away if you don’t want to, no one is forcing you.”

"But we can't give us bad food. If we don't eat, how will we have the strength to travel?"

"Then you figure it out on yourselves. It's just this thing, if you want it, you can have it. If you don't want it, you can have it." Liu Pingkang didn't indulge them, "We don't have any other rations now, so we still have to eat the same thing as you.

We haven't felt wronged yet, but you feel wronged?

Just stay still and don't make us lose our temper."

After these words were spoken, and with the intimidation of the whip in his hand, the noise died down.

"These damn bastards," Xu Huizhen didn't dare to yell loudly, and stared at the bag in a daze.

Not only has she been tired these days, but she has also not eaten well. She feels that she has lost a lot of weight.

"Dad, what do you think we should do?" Gu Kaiping asked Gu Baijiang. Family affairs have always been decided by his father, and now the hopes of the whole family rest on him.

"Go find your third brother and ask him to send some food over first. Tell him that I asked him to borrow it, and I'll buy it and return it to him when we get to the post station."

The Gu brothers' faces lit up with joy. Their father finally figured it out and knew to talk to the third brother.

"I'll be right there," Gu Kaiping said, turning and leaving.

"I'll go help too," Gu Kaichen hurriedly followed.

Gu Baijiang's eyes flickered. Kaiyuan wanted to break up with their family, but how could he do as he wished?

I didn't have an attack in the past two days, but I just didn't want to be laughed at by others.

But now there is no food at home. If Kaiyuan doesn’t help, it would be a great act of filial piety.

As a father, you should teach that unfilial son a lesson.

"Why is my third brother not here? Could it be that he saw us coming and hid on purpose?" Gu Kaichen stared at the ox cart behind Bai Suihe, as if he wanted to see through the curtain.

"We have run out of food, so my husband wants to go to the back mountain to look for some food." Bai Suihe could guess the purpose of the two people's visit. As early as yesterday, someone had run out of food, and he guessed that the Gu family was the same.

"You have no food either?" Gu Kaiping looked unhappy. He hadn't even opened his mouth yet, but the Bai family didn't even give him a chance.

"Yeah, and we don't have any supplies along the way. How much can this little ox cart hold?" Bai Suihe said with a distressed look on her face. "For the sake of my unborn child, my husband has risked everything. This mountain must be very dangerous. Brothers, can you help take a look?"

Gu Kaichen said, "We don't have that ability. Since the third brother is not here, remember to ask him to come to our place when he comes back.

If you can hunt some game and find food, please remember to send some to us."

These shameless words opened Bai Suihe's eyes once again. Now he really has no shame at all and is just coming straight at him?
Gu Kaiping wanted to save some face, so he spoke more tactfully, "My second brother and I are weak scholars, and our bodies are not as strong as the third brother, so we won't go over and cause trouble for him.

But we've run out of food over there, so if my third brother has any harvest, please send some to our parents."

Bai Suihe, "I forgot that my eldest and second brothers were not as strong as my husband. I thought that my eldest and second brothers would also be willing to fight for their family. My two brothers, forget what I said."

Gu Kaiping and Gu Kaichen frowned. Was the Bai family so stupid before?

Is it true that he can't speak, or is he just trying to provoke them?

But the two of them were too embarrassed to stay here any longer, so they turned around and left without saying anything.

"The Gu family is really something. When they have no food, they immediately think of a way out and come to us. What can we do?" Dongmei was a little dissatisfied. She never thought that the Gu family was so shameless before. It was because she had underestimated these people in the past.

"Okay, stop talking," Chunxiang also looked down on the people from the old Gu family. "Let's look around and see if there are any wild vegetables."

I don’t know if I can buy food tomorrow, so I’d better prepare for the worst.

If you can dig up some wild vegetables and add them to the noodles, you can at least eat a few more bites.

Bai Suihe, "Do you know how to identify wild vegetables?"

Dongmei covered her mouth and laughed, "Miss, have you forgotten that before we came to the mansion, we all grew up in the farm and dug a lot of wild vegetables?"
