Gu Qing was a little embarrassed.

He found that he had inadvertently created some misunderstandings. Yesterday, Choujiro called him dad because it was purely a rule after a fight in his previous life.

As the saying goes, "The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy." The winner asks "Do you accept" as a necessary process. Most of the losers are very aware of the current situation and say "I accept", and then the two sides stop fighting. Of course, there are also stubborn ones who say "

"Not convinced", it doesn't matter, just fight for another 300 rounds, until one of the parties says "submitted".

According to the game rules of the orphanage in the previous life, violence can solve most problems. Because there is no parental supervision, the orphans have formulated all the procedures after violence. Singing "Conquer" and calling "Daddy" are two must-go steps in the process.

project.

Later, when he grew up and left the orphanage to study and work, he no longer had many opportunities to use violence. Gu Qing had almost forgotten his fighting skills. It was not until he was chased by Ding Erlang yesterday that his skills were illuminated again.

The winner is the father, the loser is the son, it is a matter of course. So after beating Ding Erlang, Gu Qing subconsciously brought this rule into this life.

It's just that Gu Qing didn't expect Song Gensheng to be so aware of current affairs, so the sudden "Daddy" call made Gu Qing a little confused.

I regard you as my brother, but you plan to die for me...

After Gu Qing was stunned for a moment, he immediately showed a fatherly smile to Song Gensheng and nodded to show that he had received his sincerity.

If you don’t explain it, just misunderstand it. It’s too tiring to explain.

At dusk, Song Gensheng looked at the sky, said goodbye to Gu Qing and went home.

Looking at Song Gensheng's thin and frail figure, Gu Qing couldn't help but feel a little warm in his heart.

After beating up Ding Erlang yesterday, all the boys of the same age in the village feared him like a tiger and looked at him with frightened eyes from a distance. Only Song Gensheng did not hesitate to help him home and fetch him water to wash him.

Wound.

Gu Qing knew that his predecessor must have had a very close relationship with Song Gensheng. Maybe he was his only friend in the village.

Try to treat him well from now on. Those calls of daddy will not be in vain.

Inexplicably, Gu Qing suddenly felt a responsibility shouldered on his shoulders. He couldn't explain the reason, but maybe it was father's love.

The strange thing is that the Ding brothers also called him, but Gu Qing didn't want to be responsible for them at all, just like a scumbag father.

Only when his stomach ached with hunger did Gu Qing realize that he should cook.

Having no father or mother, living alone in a shabby room, I had to do everything myself.

Gu Qing opened the small jar where rice was stored at home, and then began to worry.

There is food at home, about a liter of millet, but a long-term sense of worry tells Gu Qing that this food will not last long. It is only August, and it is still early before the autumn harvest. The food stored at home may not be enough for a month. In other words,

The food crisis is imminent.

What's even more outrageous is that except for some millet rice, there is no food at home.

So, when people in the Tang Dynasty ate, did they really eat? There was nothing but rice?

Gu Qing didn't quite understand the rules of the Tang Dynasty, and felt very uncomfortable with it. No matter how miserable he was in his previous life, he at least had a small plate of pickles to go with his meal, but he didn't expect that he would be knocked down by fate in this life.

Standing in front of his house, Gu Qing was pacing back and forth, hesitating.

I really want to go to my neighbor's house and have a chat, and then clarify my purpose of visit. My family is eating rice today, who can lend me some meat?

The feasibility of doing this is still very high. After all, it is a bit shameless to take advantage of the power of the new village bull. The reputation of the village bull is already low enough, so you can't really snatch the eggs in the baskets of the villagers, right?

It was getting dark, and Gu Qing felt that it would be difficult for him to eat meat today, so he could only think of a solution tomorrow.

I carefully took out a small handful of millet, washed it, and filled it with water in the only broken clay pot at home. There was quite a lot of dry firewood for the stove. The most indispensable thing in the mountain village was firewood.

After the rice was cooked, Gu Qing looked at the small bowl of steaming rice in front of him and sighed.

How to eat this meal? There are no vegetables, and there is only a small bowl of rice. No wonder my body is thin and dry. If I met a bully like Choujiro in my previous life, I could defeat him with just two punches.

Among the people who knelt on the ground and pinched Chojiro wildly, begging him not to die. Not only did he get hurt by beating people in this life, but he actually made Chojiro jump back alive, and he dared to call helpers to take revenge the next day.

This is the difference in physical fitness.

Gu Qing decided to do something for his physical fitness starting from tomorrow. Now he has nothing, his only capital is his body.

In these days when all entertainment activities and nightlife are cut off, and even his survival is in danger, what motivation can he have to continue living?

Of course it is a heart that wants to eat meat.

…………

The reason why a mountain village is called a mountain village is naturally because there are mountains and villages.

Early the next morning, Gu Qing climbed up an unknown short mountain next to the village, dug a hole under a locust tree on the mountainside, and kept digging holes.

Song Gensheng stood behind him, with a complicated expression and he hesitated to speak.

Gu Qing immersed himself in work and dug a pit with a radius of one foot in a relatively flat patch of weeds with his bare hands. He arranged sharpened wooden branches at the bottom of the pit as usual and carefully camouflaged it.

Looking at the perfect big hole in front of him, Song Gensheng said cautiously: "You... seem to be very good at digging holes?"

Gu Qing said without raising his head: "I'm also good at carrying coffins, burying people, and decorating mourning halls. In short, I'm versatile. Your calling me daddy is not in vain."

"Yes." Song Gensheng immediately showed his respect and immediately fell into the mysterious and high-end ceremony.

Gu Qing glanced at him curiously: "Were you so afraid of me before?"

Song Gensheng hesitated for a moment and said, "I wasn't afraid before, but I am now."

"Are you afraid that I'll beat you? Like I beat the Ding family rats?"

After all, the young man was a bit bloody. Song Gensheng immediately wanted to deny it and show a non-cowardly expression such as "I'm not afraid of you" or "I can withstand beatings". However, after seeing Gu Qing's face that showed no emotion, Song Gensheng still

He said very unconvincingly: "Yes...I won't anger you."

So well-behaved that it makes people feel distressed.

Gu Qing smiled: "I won't beat you either."

Song Gensheng breathed a sigh of relief. The anxiety he felt when facing Gu Qing in the past two days finally eased a little. He became bolder and talked more.

"Can I ask...what are you digging a hole for again?"

Gu Qing sighed: "When I make a trap, I'm waiting for some unlucky little animal to miss. A rabbit, a deer, a bear, a chicken... Well, in short, any animal will do."

Song Gensheng suddenly realized: "So you want to hunt."

After hesitating for a moment, Song Gensheng continued: "But the hole you dug... is too shallow and the walls are not smooth. Even if a prey falls in, it will escape quickly."

Gu Qing's expression froze. He was good at digging holes, but... he was really not good at hunting. He had never done it in his entire life.

"Are the prey here so smart? The hole I dug in front of my house yesterday even fooled people. Isn't it possible to trap the prey?"

Song Gensheng explained: "That's because the Ding brothers didn't notice. They didn't expect you to be like this..."

"So mean?"

"No, so witty." Song Gensheng is obviously a good chatterer.

Gu Qing looked at the unsuccessful pit in front of him, his heart was full of frustration, and then...he started to stay still for some reason.

Song Gensheng didn't say anything, and the two of them remained eerily quiet.

For a long time, Gu Qing murmured to himself: "The prey is not fooled, but the people are fooled. In other words, the Ding brothers are worse than animals?"

Song Gensheng was stunned, then smiled bitterly and said: "You... are so sharp, you are really different from before."

Gu Qing was shocked: "Did I just say something?"

Song Gensheng gave him a look of affirmation. Gu Qing was a little confused. Why did he unconsciously speak his mind when he was in a daze? He remembered that he didn't have this problem in his previous life. Could it be that his soul hadn't adapted to his current body?

Gu Qing sighed, immersed himself in pulling out the branches stuck in the hole, and continued digging the hole deeper.

"Why is it so difficult to eat meat?" Gu Qing sighed sadly.

Song Gensheng said: "There is a valley behind the village, and there is a stone pool there. Now is the season when the fish are fat and the shrimps are strong. Why don't you go there and try it?"

Gu Qing glanced at him appreciatively, and realized more and more that Song Gensheng was a very good friend. If the word "friend" could be upgraded like a game, he had quietly upgraded Song Gensheng from a stranger to a close friend, far from a true friend.

There is still a gap, but if you work hard to accumulate experience points, you will probably be able to level up again before the end of the year.

"Let's go after a short stop. The hole still needs to be dug, and we can't give up halfway." Gu Qing buried his head in digging the hole, digging it very seriously.

Song Gensheng also stepped forward to help. The two worked together to dig for a long time, and they stopped after digging to a depth of about three feet.

They had to stop because they found something different.

Gu Qing raised his hands, which were completely black, and asked in surprise: "What is this?"

Song Gensheng took a look and said with a rather indifferent expression: "Graphite is also called coal. In the early years, I heard from the old people in the village that there is graphite near Qingcheng Mountain, but it is of little use."

Gu Qing stared at the dark hands with a strange expression and said slowly: "Have you read the book?"

Song Gensheng looked proud: "My grandfather taught me some things when he was still alive. He was the only person in the village who had read."

"Have I read the book?"

"Of course you haven't read it. The only people in the village who have read it are my grandfather and me. My father has never read it. He said he is not a student."

Gu Qing's tone became slower and slower, pointing to the dark object in the middle of the pit, and said word by word: "I don't study well, so don't lie to me. You call this thing 'graphite'? Don't you call it 'graphite'?"
Chapter completed!
