Chapter 18 Roughness

"Brother Siwei, Brother Siwei!"

While he was sleeping happily, Gu Siwei heard Liu Dezhu's urging knock on the door.

Fortunately, Gu Siwei wasn't too angry when he got up. If he had Cao's thief's temper, Liu Dezhu outside would have died today next year.

Frowning slightly, he put on his clothes and got up from the bed, walked to the door and opened it.

"What are you doing? It's so early in the morning... I'm here!"

Gu Siwei, who was originally in a daze, suddenly lost his composure when he discovered what Liu Dezhu was carrying.

This kid was knocking on his door early in the morning. He was actually holding a mouse in his hand, and he saw that the mouse was tied up with a rope made of vine bark. If it wasn't the one he threw away yesterday, what could it be?

Liu Dezhu didn't know that the mouse was thrown by Gu Siwei, so he said happily: "Brother Siwei, you see, I got lucky early in the morning, and I don't know who threw the vole. Look...".

As he said this, Liu Dezhu lifted the dead rat up and almost brought it to Gu Siwei's face.

Gu Siwei stretched out his hand and pushed: "Take this thing farther away, I don't want to see it."

"Good stuff, peel off the skin, then chop it, add some oil and fry it, add some potato seeds..." Liu Dezhu raised his eyebrows and said to Gu Siwei in a lively manner.

Ugh~!

Gu Siwei immediately wanted to vomit after hearing this.

Decades later, Gu Siwei heard about a place that ate this thing, but he would not eat it. Even if others said it was delicious, he would not eat it. Even if there was this thing on the table, he would leave the table.

Because Gu Siwei never eats weird things. He won't touch anything like pangolins or armadillos. No matter how you say it, he won't touch it.

He doesn't believe in any dietary supplements either. He thinks that if this thing is really effective, why don't the emperors have long lives? When it comes to supplements, who can take them better?

"Get out!"

Gu Siwei pointed at Liu Dezhu and said.

Liu Dezhu was a little confused because he had never seen Gu Siwei say such serious words.

Gu Siwei was not interested in continuing to talk to him: "How about you throw away the things in your hands and wash your hands a few times before coming back. Otherwise, you stay away from my yard."

"Brother Siwei, this is really a good thing," Liu Dezhu said, "A field mouse is not a mouse in the house."

"Not even a mouse will do."

Gu Siwei felt a little panicked in his heart.

Liu Dezhu was reluctant to throw it away. To Liu Dezhu, this vole was just a meal of meat. However, when he saw that Gu Siwei was about to hit someone, Gu Siwei, who was almost 1.8 meters tall and almost 1.9 meters tall, was angry and powerful, so Liu Dezhu carried him to death.

The field mouse ran away quickly.

Thinking of Liu Dezhu eating field mice, Gu Siwei almost burst out in tears.

I closed the door and continued to sleep. When I felt a little hungry, I ate a persimmon or smashed two walnuts. When it was time to eat, I drank a bowl of corn noodle porridge. Then I came back and continued to do nothing.

The rest of the day passed like this. When it was time to light the lanterns in the evening, Mr. Liu Fulin came over. He didn't have anything else to do. He just wanted to inform him about setting off for the town tomorrow morning.

Just go, so Gu Siwei woke up at five o'clock in the morning, made preparations, took out the fifteen or sixteen kilograms of walnuts to be squeezed, put them in the basket that Liu Fulin borrowed last night, and hugged them

The cup walked towards Liu Fulin's house.

Arriving at the door of Liu Fulin's house, Mr. Liu Fulin was already ready.

"coming?"

With the help of a little moonlight, Liu Fulin saw Gu Siwei arriving at the door, so he knocked the pipe on the soles of his shoes, put the basket on his back and came to the door of the yard.

He gently closed the courtyard door and motioned for Gu Siwei to follow.

Gu Siwei saw Liu Fulin carrying a basket, and the basket seemed to be full, so he asked, "What animals should we bring today?"

Liu Fulin was a little strange. Although he didn't stop, he looked back at Gu Siwei: "Why are you bringing the animals?"

“These things don’t come with livestock?”

Gu Siwei felt that this joke seemed a bit big. There were livestock in the village. Although the village was small, it also had a cow and two old donkeys. They were tied up in the livestock shed in the village all day long and did nothing but eat. Now we are going to

It takes a whole day to go to the town, and you don’t need to carry animals to carry things all the way?

"Bringing animals? Animals are expensive. It won't be long before the spring plowing begins. A living person will be enough to carry this. There is no need for animals. Besides, if you have animals, you have to feed them along the way. You need to feed them some concentrates or something."

Yes, otherwise...".

Liu Fulin was rambling, but Gu Siwei finally understood.

Humans are inferior to animals!

Liu Fulin means that people can carry these things to the town, and use animals? How can that be done? Animals don’t waste materials and grass all the way, and it is more cost-effective for people to use them.

In Gu Siwei's mind, you don't even know about animals. This is obviously a curse word, but in this era, it is the reality. In order to raise animals well, they should be used during critical periods. At other times, humans should serve the animals.

Not to mention that you can't use animals when you go to town. Even during spring plowing, when old oxen or donkeys pull the plow, there must be strong laborers beside them.

It's okay for people to get sick at this time, but once the big animals get sick and miss the cultivation of the fields, that year's harvest will be affected.

Therefore, at this time, many people are no match for a cow and two old donkeys in the village. This is reality and is not an exaggeration.

The basket that was originally thought to be carried on the donkey's back was now carried on Gu Siwei's back. Gu Siwei was doing mental construction all the way, wanting to prove that he was stronger than the donkey.

Waiting for daybreak, when the surrounding environment became clearer, Gu Siwei realized that there were too many things in the basket on Liu Fulin's back in front of him.

The pile is full. It weighs almost a hundred kilograms.

While waiting for a break, Gu Siwei tried it out, but he couldn't pick it up.

"Dad Liu, how many things are in this basket?" Gu Siwei asked.

Liu Fulin smiled and said: "More than a hundred kilograms, including some oil from the village and the walnuts you sent to the Wu family, totaling about one hundred and twenty kilograms."

Liu Fulin sat on a stone by the roadside, relaxed as if he was not talking about the weight in the basket, but about ordinary and boring things.

Look at Liu Fulin's basket, and then look at his own basket. There are only some persimmons and some walnuts in it, which add up to less than twenty kilograms.

After carrying so many things and walking for more than an hour, Gu Siwei felt that his shoulders were sore from being strangled. It was hard to imagine that Liu Fulin was carrying so many things, but now he seemed to be fine.

Seemingly sensing Gu Siwei's thoughts, Liu Fulin said with a smile: "You will get used to it if you walk a few more times, and you will get better after you get used to it. What the elders have said: There is no hardship that this person cannot bear."

hehe!

Gu Siwei smiled awkwardly. He had no idea of ​​enduring hardship. Back in the old days, people were very popular and drank spicy food. The women around him were either beautiful CEOs, wealthy daughters, or little widows worth hundreds of billions. How did they get here?

I have to carry a hundred kilogram basket on my back and endure hardship here?

impossible,

Absolutely impossible,

This is completely an illusion!

Hallucination or not, Liu Fulin had a pack of cigarettes and the two of them were on the road again, carrying baskets on their backs.

Not only are you carrying things on your back, the road is not easy to walk. You have to hold on to rocks in many sections of the road. The road is just a footpath more than one meter wide. It was made by people and no one has ever repaired it.

Gu Siwei thought this was the worst road. Unexpectedly, in the afternoon, Liu Fulin took him over the mountain.

It was very damp in the woods at this time, and soon I felt that my body was wet, not even cold. After walking such a long way with these things on my back, my legs were as cold as wool. Not only was it not cold, but it was a bit cold.

hot.

But the heat and the tide are intertwined, which makes it uncomfortable in addition to being uncomfortable.

It was not possible to take a break at this time. Gu Siwei wanted to take a break, but Liu Fulin was not allowed to stay for more than half a pack of cigarettes, which was about two or three minutes.

Fortunately, in terms of meaning, Gu Siwei still had a point. Although Gu Siwei felt like he wanted to die after climbing down two or three mountains, he managed to survive after all.

When they came to a river, they could hear the rushing water in their ears. When Liu Fulin said to take a rest, Gu Siwei sat down directly on the ground next to him, not caring that there were pebbles of different sizes all under his belly.

Liu Fulin looked at Gu Siwei with a little admiration in his eyes at this moment. Although he agreed with Guo Xiangping that Gu Siwei was a strange person, he really didn't expect that Gu Siwei, who had thin skin and tender flesh, could really come to this.

Although Gu Siwei carried a few things on his back, Liu Fulin was actually a little surprised to follow him all the way down.

"Fourth dimension, it's really great, I've been following it all this way," Liu Fulin said.

Gu Siwei raised his hand, gasping for air and wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he exhaled instead, so he waved his hand and continued to sit on the stone and pant.

After Liu Fulin took a rest, he started to find branches nearby, piled them together and started to light a fire. After the fire came up, he took out a piece of marinated pork and two corn pancakes from his backpack and grilled them next to the fire.

.

After Liu Fulin had done this, Gu Siwei looked better and was not as out of breath as he was at the beginning.

"Eat something".

Liu Fulin delivered the baked goods to Gu Siwei.

"Thanks".

He took the stick noodle pancake and took a bite with the marinated pork strips. Gu Siwei actually tasted it sweet.

After devouring a whole piece of pancake, followed by a strip of wild boar meat, they rested for more than half an hour before they stood up and continued on their way.

The next road was much easier to walk. They kept walking along the river, and the mountains did not have much ups and downs. However, at this time, Gu Siwei was already following Liu Fulin mechanically, and his legs were not very responsive.

When the sun was about to set, the two people, one behind the other, finally walked out of the mountain. In front of them was a stretch of rolling hills. Although they were hills, they were different from the mountains. There was a very deep layer of soil here, and they were all fields.

, most of the fields are planted with wheat, and even though it is winter, the ground is also dyed with a layer of green, which is in sharp contrast to the land in Zhuangzi.
