The old man was very happy.
It has been nearly two months since Gu Liang came here. There are still two years and ten months before the famine. At present, the space has stored nearly a thousand bamboo tubes, thirty or forty kilograms of wild vegetables, and one hundred kilograms of brown rice.
These things are only enough for one person to live for two months. Fortunately, there is still time to store food. Although Gu Liang is highly valued in the Gu family, he is still a child after all, and no one will take a child's words seriously.
At present, there are two main things, one is to continue to store supplies like ants moving, and the other is to make money, which can not only buy food, but also improve status, so that it will be convincing before the famine comes.
Gu Liang no longer has the job of picking pig grass, and now he just reads medicine books every day. Although the medical books have pictures and words, the ancient pictures are naturally not as clear as modern photos, and the words are also in traditional Chinese, so Gu Liang can only half guess and half recognize them.
That day, Gu Liang was still picking wild vegetables in the field with a bamboo basket. This season is the last season for most wild vegetables. In a few days, the wild vegetables will either become old or bloom.
"Hey, Gu Liang."
Gu Liang, who was pinching a dandelion, was startled and turned around to see that it was Gu Dabao.
"Hey, why don't you have to cut pig grass recently? I see you don't even carry a backpack."
"Yes, now my pig grass belongs to my second aunt, and I don't have to do farm work now."
"That's great, you don't have to work at all," Gu Dabao said enviously, "Gu Liang, why don't you play with me now that you don't have to work? The little friends in the village also said that you have been playing with them recently."
"Uh, this......"
It's not that Gu Liang doesn't play with them, but that Gu Liang, as a person with a psychological age of more than 30 years old, is really embarrassed to play with children around ten years old all day. The most important thing is that he still has the top priority of storing food to do, after all, he doesn't want to starve to death.
"Don't stay here, let's play in the cave in the back mountain together." Gu Dabao said and took Gu Liang's arm and walked away.
There is a stone cave in the back mountain, which is warm in winter and cool in summer. There is a stream flowing out of it slowly. There is a relatively flat land in front of the cave. The wind blowing out of the cave mouth is very cool in summer. Children often use it as a playground.
Gu Liang couldn't resist Dabao's persuasion, so he followed Dabao.
"Dabao, close your eyes, I'll give you a good thing."
"What good thing, show me!" Gu Dabao stopped and immediately covered his eyes with both hands.
Gu Liang saw that Dabao was indeed blindfolded, so he quickly took out a piece of beige maltose from the space. These days, Gu Liang has been able to use the space very well. He can take things from a distance with just a snap, but he can't let people see.
"Okay," Gu Liang shouted.
Dabao saw the beige thing in Gu Liang's hand and shouted in surprise: "Maltose, where did you get it? I ate it during the Chinese New Year. It's delicious."
"Here you go." Gu Liang stuffed the maltose directly into Dabao's mouth.
Gu Dabao took it out immediately after biting it, licked it twice and held it in his hand.
Maltose was a very precious snack in the tasteless ancient times. Even during the Chinese New Year, it was not necessarily available at home and would not be easily bought for children to eat. Most of them could only watch others eat it.
In this way, the two of them came to the front of the cave soon. There was always no shortage of children playing here. At this time, several boys were climbing bamboos, and some girls were playing house with tiles as tableware.
Two children who were catching insects in the grass saw Gu Liang and his friends coming, and they immediately ran over and prepared to play with Gu Liang and Gu Dabao.
When they saw Gu Dabao licking the maltose, they immediately burst into screams. The other children who were playing immediately surrounded them, wanting to see what was going on.
"Dabao, what are you eating?"
"It looks delicious, I've never seen it before."
"It's maltose. My sister's husband bought it for me last time when she got married," a child said proudly, patting his chest.
"Maltose, I heard it's very sweet."
"Yes, my brother said maltose is the most delicious thing in the world."
"Dabao, don't you want to play with my wooden sword? I'll let you play with it, and you give it to me," said a little boy holding a wooden sword. Usually, because of this wooden sword, he was so arrogant among the children, but now...
………………
"Dabao, I'm the best to you, can you give me a lick?" said a little fat boy with a runny nose and mud on his face,
While taking his hand to Dabao's hand.
Gu Dabao had never seen such a scene before, so he stopped licking it and quickly stuffed the remaining maltose into his mouth, chewed it and swallowed it.
Some children sighed when they saw that Dabao had finished eating, turned around and left disappointed.
However, there were still some who did not give up, especially the little fat boy who was still asking Dabao if he had any extra and if he could lick it, just one bite.
Dabao was also speechless by these people at this time, so he said to the little fat boy: "This candy was given to me by Gu Liang, not bought by me."
"Mr. Liang, do you have any more? Just give me a piece. I can be your slave and do anything for you. Just give me a piece!" The little fat boy immediately turned to Gu Liang after hearing what Dabao said, and his strong arms tightly circled Gu Liang.
Gu Liang didn't expect that a small piece of maltose could attract so many people's attention. At this time, he was surrounded by the little fat boy. Gu Liang was now thin and small, and he didn't know how this little fat boy became fat when most people could barely eat.
At this time, the "culprit" Gu Dabao was still licking his fingers, savoring the taste, and he was surrounded by several men and women.
"Are you really willing to do anything?" Gu Liang had a little idea.
When everyone saw Gu Liang's answer, they immediately thought that Gu Liang still had some maltose left in his hand, and immediately shouted:
"Mr. Liang, anything is fine," the little fat boy replied.
"Gu Liang, I can do it too," a little girl with a red hairband and two ponytails said in a low voice.
"Me too." ”
…………
Gu Liang saw this situation and thought the plan was feasible, so he told them to follow him, and that he would ask them for help with something, and that everyone could get a piece of candy after finishing it.
All the children said yes, and they could do anything. Only the little girl with a hairband said, "Stealing is not allowed."
"Of course it won't be stealing, but you have to keep the things you do for me a secret, and you can't tell others, especially adults."
Everyone said yes, and the little fat boy swore that if he told, he would punish himself by not having a meal.
Gu Liang saw that everyone said it was okay, so he said, "I need a lot of wild vegetables recently. If you give me the wild vegetables you find, I will give you candy."
"That's it, aren't wild vegetables everywhere? How many wild vegetables can give me candy?" The little fat boy heard that wild vegetables could be exchanged for candy, and his mind immediately became active.
Gu Liang thought for a while and said, "How about this, a basket of wild vegetables for a piece of candy, and there is no limit to the number of times for each person, and then bring it here to exchange. But we have to keep it a secret, and the wild vegetables can’t be too old, otherwise I won’t change them. ”
After hearing this, a group of children promised that they could, and asked Gu Liang if they could change today. After getting the answer, they all scattered and prepared to go home to get baskets to collect wild vegetables.
So only Gu Liang and Gu Dabao were left at the scene. Gu Liang saw Gu Dabao was hesitant to speak, but his face turned red and he was unwilling to say it.
