Chapter 117: The beasts eat better than me
"Are you okay?" Gao Shuisheng looked at Jiang Youzhen with a guilty look on his face.
"I'm sorry, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have fallen to the bottom of this cliff and got injured."
Gao Shuisheng also saw the scratches on the palms and backs of Jiang Youzhen's hands. He touched his ankle, curled up into a small ball, looking somewhat pitiful.
Jiang Youzhen sighed and sat up. Really, he was always so kind.
"Just obey orders next time. You're stupid to begin with, so get out of here. Your grandma has been so worried about you, it's a sin! You're old, and you still come to beg for help."
Jiang Youzhen now somewhat agreed with the clan leader's words. Although this kid was a little stupid, he was still honest and responsible, better than his father.
Speaking of grandma, Gao Shuisheng's eyes welled up with tears, "Grandma is right, you are a good person. I was stupid and believed Aunt Guihua's words. I'm sorry for pushing you into the river and you almost died."
Aunt Guihua? Jiang Youzhen searched for this person in his mind, and then he remembered that she was the daughter-in-law of the same clan in the west of the village. She was not out of the fifth degree of mourning, and her husband's clan was the ninth degree of mourning, so she had to call him aunt.
Jiang Youzhen snorted coldly, "You are so mean, Aunt Guihua. We are all family members. We have no grudges in the past or hatred in the present. How dare you instigate the little brother to kill someone? You are so vicious! What did she say? Tell me!"
Next, Gao Shuisheng told him everything Aunt Guihua had said. It turned out that Aunt Guihua had instigated him, saying that the Jiang family would not leave a way for their family to survive and had been coveting their land for a long time. The land could be sold for more than just this little money.
Then he said that the two families had a close relationship, and the Jiang family could have handled the matter in a low-key manner, as long as Gao Shan reformed himself, but now it has become a big deal.
Gao Shan lost face, was pointed at by others, and couldn't find a job. The family lost all their land, and his father-in-law was poor and embarrassed him, so he didn't want to take care of them. After that, the family even ran out of food. The family was hungry for two days and ate tree bark. Under so much pressure, the family thought of hanging themselves.
After believing what Aunt Guihua said, Gao Shuisheng began to hate Jiang Youzhen and started to attack him.
"Humph! What I wanted at that time was to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys. Do you know how many people are jealous of my family? If I don't deal with it seriously, those people will think that my family is easy to bully, and everyone will want to come to my house to get some benefits.
Besides, if your father is not taught a lesson, he will continue to gamble. Once a gambler is addicted, even ten oxen cannot pull him back. We are trying to make him change his ways.”
"Besides, your family's broken land can hardly be sold for 18 taels, and you still have to pay a commission. If your grandma has money, she can buy it back."
Jiang Youzhen didn't think highly of the land. He wanted it for the jade at that time, and the land was just a bargain.
"I'm sorry, I believed Aunt Guihua's words. But she was just gossiping and didn't ask me to kill you. I was just hot-headed at the moment, so I did something stupid."
Jiang Youzhen glanced at his thin face and snorted, "You are flexible and responsible for your own actions, but you are confused. You should judge right from wrong and use your brain more in everything in the future."
But Aunt Guihua is waiting. When she gets up there, she will definitely make her suffer and gossip about it.
Jiang Youzhen thought about how her father had been listing the people who helped build the house, including Guihua's husband, so she went back and put on some eye drops first.
He took out five big steamed buns, a water bag and a piece of braised meat from the backpack, picked up the steamed buns and handed them to Gao Shuisheng.
"Eat! You'll have more strength after you finish eating. Don't let me get in trouble later."
Gao Shuisheng stared at the food in front of him, "You brought so much food up the mountain?"
"Of course it's for trapping. You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. Haven't you heard that?"
Jiang Youzhen took a bite of the marinated meat. In fact, these were all taken out from the storage space just in case of emergency.
Gao Shuisheng: It turns out that animals eat better than me!
Jiang Youzhen was eating, so he had time to look around.
Because there are vines blocking the view from above, there is no sunlight all year round and this place is very dark. The stone wall below is covered with moss and is a bit slippery.
Hearing the sound of water dripping from the stone wall, and the echo, Jiang Youzhen discovered that behind the large vines, there was a dark hole. She climbed up and stood at the hole, and found that there was wind.
Looking back, the entrance to the tiankeng was very high, and climbing up would be very difficult. Even if she had Qinggong, she only had one year of skills, so she could be a little more agile at best, and she was also with Gao Shuisheng.
If this cave has an exit, then we don't have to climb?
Looking back, I found that Gao Shuisheng had actually eaten a steamed bun in just three or two bites, and ate all three steamed buns given by Jiang Youzhen in one breath, but did not touch the braised pork.
"A starving ghost reincarnated?" Jiang Youzhen was shocked. He really didn't expect that it only took three seconds for a person to finish a steamed bun.
He gave half a piece of braised pork to Gao Shuisheng, and in a moment's time, the braised pork was back in Gao Shuisheng's stomach.
Gao Shuisheng looked at Jiang Youzhen's shocked eyes, smiled embarrassedly, and licked his lips.
"There hasn't been much to eat at home these past few days. Last night was the best meal I had, but I wasn't full."
The little brat has bankrupted me, not to mention Gao Shuisheng who has no money at all.
Thinking that even his family members could eat it, and even Si Ya could eat three big steamed buns, Jiang Youzhen was not surprised.
"Let me check your legs first!" Jiang Youzhen squatted down to check Gao Shuisheng's ankle and found that the skin was a little broken and the ankle was a little swollen.
She has veterinary skills and is good at treating injuries. People should be similar to animals, right? Forget it, try it out.
He massaged the ankle, then sprayed it with hemostatic powder and disinfectant, and tied it up with a piece of cloth taken from the space.
"Let's see if we can get out. There's a cave here. There's wind. Maybe there's an exit."
Gao Shuisheng tried to stand up. Although it was still painful, he should be able to walk.
"You're so amazing, you know everything." Gao Shuisheng was extremely impressed by Jiang Youzhen at this moment. He was afraid of falling into the pit, but he just held back his tears.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Youzhen looked so calm. She is really powerful and amazing.
"Hurry up! Go ahead, it's dark and scary looking at you!"
Gao Shuisheng: ...My face is swollen!
Jiang Youzhen gripped the dagger tightly and sniffed it. He didn't smell any animal stench and it was relatively dry inside.
"Wait!" Jiang Youzhen said as he took out a fire starter, and the cave suddenly became much brighter.
Fortunately, she listened to the grocery store owner and bought a lot of outdoor survival items when she was in town. The rope she just bought was bought at the same time. It was made of pure cowhide and very strong, but a little expensive. It cost her twenty taels of silver!
"Why didn't you take it out earlier?" In fact, Gao Shuisheng was walking in the dark cave just now, and he was so panicked that his legs and feet were shaking. He was just pretending to be calm!
"Shouldn't you use it sparingly?" Could Jiang Youzhen say that he forgot? Absolutely not!
