Chapter 7 Preparation

Author: Green Bamboo Piaomiao

"Dong"

It’s not that the two men didn’t scream, but that Guo Xiaoxiao took action too quickly and directly tapped the dumb holes of the two, making them unable to say anything.

Seeing Guo Xiaoxiao quickly deal with the two thieves, Xiao Ziyang and Xiao Ziqing both shivered and then looked at Guo Xiaoxiao, who seemed a little weak.

Looking at the anger flashing in the eyes of the two thieves, Guo Xiaoxiao smiled evilly: "Although the little woman is not talented, she still needs to give her a gift to you."

As he said that, he carried a man in one hand, flew out of the yard, and then took the two of them under the big tree during the day, sprinkled some medicine powder, and opened his red lips lightly: "Three, two, one, start the performance."

As soon as the words were finished, the two men hugged each other and then teared up the blockage on each other's body...

Guo Xiaoxiao did not look at it again, but clapped his hands and quickly left here.

"Stepwoman, are you okay?"

"stepmother…"

As soon as he turned over and fell into the yard, he heard questions from Xiao Ziyang and Xiao Ziqing.

Guo Xiaoxiao nodded softly, then walked to the two brothers and said seriously: "Nothing happened tonight, and you don't know anything. Remember?"

"Remember."

"Go to sleep."

"Um."

The next day, before dawn, a scream of exclamation sounded in the village: "Ah!"

“It’s really annoying”

"Who is this?"

"Ouch! Have a young age..."

“…”

Guo Xiaoxiao Niang and the other five didn't care about what happened outside, but walked towards the mountains not far behind the house with their baskets on their backs.

"Beautiful mom, I heard from the old ladies in the village that it's going to fight."

Looking at Xiao Si who was lying on his shoulders, Guo Xiaoxiao turned his eyes and said softly: "What else did those grandmas say?"

The little girl thought for a while and said, "I also said there were bandits who wanted to steal things."

When Guo Xiaoxiao heard the little girl's words, he suddenly remembered the two people who had last night. Could the village they mentioned be the bandit's nest?

Then his eyes sterned and he thought to himself: The world is really chaotic, no wonder he would come here with a warehouse of supplies.

Looking at the mountain right in front of him, Guo Xiaoxiao raised his hand and pointed the tip of Xiao Si's nose, "What a clever girl."

This time, the two brothers walked forward and explored the way.

It’s almost August now, and there are a lot of wild fruits and wild vegetables in the mountains.

The five mothers did not stay at the outermost, but kept walking inside.

This day, I gained a lot.

After several consecutive days of going out early and returning late, the villagers who did not see their mother and five other people started talking.

"His second sister-in-law, there is no one in the Xiao family for several days, right?"

"Yes, the door is locked all day long, and I don't know what the new wife of the Xiao family is doing."

"Do you think it would be the new wife who gave those kids..."

"No, no, it's the official lady. She can't do things that aren't humans..."

“…”

Just as the few people were talking, a woman's voice sounded: "You guys all day long, thinking everyone is like you. I watched the little wife take a few kids up the mountain with her own eyes."

"Going up the mountain? Can the lady in the official family eat the food in the mountains?"

"Tsk~~Who believes it?"

"that is."

Some people have doubts, some have half-believing and half-doubting.

"Sister-in-law Wen, have you really seen it?"

"That's not. I saw them entering the house."

Upon hearing this, a woman who had arranged Guo Xiaoxiao said disdainfully: "Oh! I know there is no harvest in the field, so I went to the mountain to find food."

Sister Wen glanced at her, picked up her needle and thread and went home.

Seeing that Sister Wen had left, two women also stood up and left.

Seeing people leaving one by one, one of the women snorted disdainfully, and then continued to talk to the people...

The owner Guo Xiaoxiao, whom they mentioned, was now eating roasted chicken with four children in the mountains.

"Mom, this pheasant is so delicious to eat when roasted."

"Yeah, it smells good."

“The grilled fish yesterday was also fragrant.”

Seeing that the younger brother and sister were eating very deliciously, Xiao Ziyang looked at Guo Xiaoxiao and asked, "Stepwoman, there is nothing nearby. Should we go in and walk around?"

Looking at the dense Lin Mu, Guo Xiaoxiao shook his head: "I won't go in. Let's take a day off tomorrow, and then we will catch fish, dry the dried fish, and make pickled fish."

“Make fish?”

"Well. I'll go to the town to buy some seasonings and then buy some food rations. You can stay at home and don't go anywhere."

When they heard that they were going to the town, the four children's eyes were shining and they wanted to follow them, but they remembered their father's explanation before leaving, and then they pressed their thoughts on going to the town, and then continued to eat roasted pheasants.

After all, children are children, and everything is written on their faces. How could Guo Xiaoxiao not know?

However, she did not mention it because she was not only going to buy things, but also going out to find out the news.

After all, most of the two people who appeared that night were bandits.

If there were indeed bandits who came to the village to steal things, it would definitely be reported.

Moreover, she was sure that someone in this unknown village had informed the bandits, but she didn't know who that person was.

Thinking of this, Guo Xiaoxiao looked at the four brothers and sisters with a serious look on his face: "You can't go anywhere tomorrow, just stay at home. I haven't come back, and no one can open the door. Remember?"

"good."

"Stepwoman, we will be at home obediently."

After getting along these days, they knew that this stepmother was not only a very good person, but also made a lot of delicious food.

The four of them were nervous and slowly fell back to their original place, but when they heard that they were going to the town, their hearts were hanging again, fearing that the stepmother would leave like this.

The next day, just as the sky was dawn, Guo Xiaoxiao walked out of Wuming Village with his backpack and walked towards Wuming Town...

The four brothers and sisters watching her leave looked at the closed gate with a worried look on their faces, and remained silent for a long time.

Guo Xiaoxiao's journey was very fast, and he entered Wuming Town in less than an hour.

Looking at the shops on both sides of the street and the small vendors who were hawking, Guo Xiaoxiao felt that the wisdom of the ancients was actually not low.

I walked around and arrived at a grocery store, pointed at the brown rice and asked, "Shopkeeper, how do I sell brown rice?"

When the shopkeeper who was shaving the abacus heard this, he quickly raised his head and replied: "Broken rice is eight cents per pound, and the broken rice next to it is eleven cents. Miss, don't look at the broken rice, this is good rice. If it weren't for some broken, it wouldn't have sold eleven cents."

After careful reading, it was indeed as the shopkeeper said, the broken rice was indeed good, but due to habit, I still wanted to bargain.

After walking around the store, asking about the price. Guo Xiaoxiao then looked at the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, I bought some of these things just now. Can they be cheaper?"

"Miss, everyone knows that I am a grocery store. It's a small business, and it's really not much cheaper."

Looking at the shopkeeper who was confident, Guo Xiaoxiao smiled slightly and said, "Thirty kilograms of broken rice, twenty kilograms of brown rice, fifteen kilograms of cornmeal, five kilograms of coarse salt, and ten kilograms of sugar."

After saying that, he walked towards the shopkeeper and asked in a low voice: "Shopkeeper, do you have white noodles and Xiaomi?"

Hearing this, the shopkeeper paused and thought to himself: Emma! This is meeting a noble person.

His eyes rolled, stared at the door of the store and nodded: "Xiaomi and white flour are both 18 ounces per pound, how much does it take for the lady?"

"Twenty kilograms each."

Seeing the number of eyes without blinking, the shopkeeper nodded quickly: "Miss, please wait, I'll take it for you now."

"Well, there's no hurry. I'll go to the blacksmith shop opposite to buy something, and the shopkeeper will weigh it for me."

"Oh, Miss, don't worry, I'm definitely not short of weight."

Seeing Guo Xiaoxiao walking into the blacksmith shop diagonally opposite, the shopkeeper quickly got busy.

After noon, Guo Xiaoxiao appeared at the entrance of Wuming Village with a basket on his back. He ignored those curious gazes and walked straight towards home.
