Chapter 281: Marrying the Mountain God 03
The original body just wanted to live like a normal person, with a family that supported each other, cute and playful children, and grow old slowly in the trivialities of life.
"I can definitely do it!" Gu Li held the back rope tightly and strode forward.
She could understand that in order to get away from her mean stepmother and inactive father, she would not hesitate even though she knew that marrying an unknown mountain god would bring unexpected experiences.
But there is more than one way to solve the problem.
There must be another way out.
However, Gu Li, who was extremely short of food, had no time to think too much. Her most urgent need at the moment was to fill her stomach.
Gu Li, who had lived in this forest since childhood, knew every path outside the forest. The time she encountered the little black snake was one of the few times she entered the deep forest.
Just for a bite to eat.
This time she still had to go deep into the forest. There were no small animals around, so if she wanted to eat meat, she had to take a risk.
Fortunately, Sanliang didn't hesitate to help me with this small favor.
With Sanliang's guidance, Gu Li found the trap set by the hunter. A rabbit with its hind legs trapped was struggling in the hole.
Gu Li's eyes lit up.
He picked up the sickle from the basket, lay at the entrance of the cave, swung his arm and stabbed the rabbit into its body, hooking it up.
Sanliang trembled: "Gu Li, you, when did you become so cruel?"
San Liang was unable to connect the present Gu Li, who was swift and ruthless with the pampered girl in the previous world who had everything handed to her.
"Hehe, heroes are made by the times. Let me let you starve for a few years and see what happens!" Gu Li's eyes almost sparkled green when she saw the chubby face. It would be strange if she could act coquettishly.
Whatever she did, it was the body's instinctive reaction.
For some reason, Gu Li does not reject herself like this. It seems that she can do more for her stuttering!
Gu Li, who was used to doing housework, carried the rabbit out of the forest, found a stream on the outskirts, bled the rabbit and skinned it with ease.
As the rabbits skewered on branches were roasting over the fire, Gu Li sneered, "You want to climb up the food chain by stepping on me? Dream on!"
Just make a roasted rabbit!
Gu Li treated the rabbit on the fire as the gray rabbit that had tried to plot against her before, and turned it over more diligently, trying to ensure that every piece of meat was heated evenly!
Feeling the cool mountain breeze, Gu Li ate a whole rabbit and was so full that she couldn't even stand up.
Not long after, she started vomiting and having diarrhea.
Damn it, I hadn’t eaten meat for a long time, and I suddenly ate a whole rabbit. My stomach couldn’t take it, and I vomited everything I ate.
Gu Li, exhausted, sat against a big tree by the stream, wanting to cry but without tears.
Is this the life people live?
Gu Li stayed in the woods until the sun was about to set, and the cold air invaded her little by little with the setting sun.
She had to get up and drag the empty backpack down the mountain.
The forest at night, even on the outskirts, is very dangerous.
Gu Li walked home slowly like an old ox, wondering how she would deal with Fang when she questioned her about the empty backpack.
But until she walked into the yard, she didn't hear Fang's incessant vicious muttering.
There was no light in the house and the yard was quiet.
When passing by the kitchen, Gu Li saw a half-eaten dinner on the dining table: three bowls of brown rice porridge, a plate of stir-fried wild vegetables, and a plate of multi-grain cakes.
Only half of the pheasant hanging on the beam to be dried was left, but there was no scrap of meat on the table. It was probably that Fang cooked it at noon when she was away.
Gu Li, feeling dizzy and dazed, picked up the thickest bowl of porridge and started eating it regardless of the fact that the porridge had already cooled. She held the pancake in one hand and the vegetables in the other, and took two more mouthfuls of porridge to moisten her throat.
The coarse grains that made her throat stiff also tasted a little sweet.
Gu Li just wanted to cry.
This time, Gu Li didn't dare to eat too much. She stopped eating when she was about 80% full.
She dragged her limp body back to her thatched hut, threw herself onto the bed, and closed her eyelids helplessly.
This body has reached its limit, and it has only held on with one breath. Not caring about Fang's upcoming scolding, pinching and kicking, Gu Li fell into a deep sleep.
When I woke up again, it was already bright outside.
The sunlight shines through the torn window paper, casting irregular shadows in the small room.
Gu Li sat up with a start. This was too abnormal.
How could Fang let her sleep peacefully until dawn?
Could it be that the whole family went out to visit relatives and haven’t returned yet?
Gu Li listened carefully to the noise outside. She could faintly hear someone talking in the kitchen connected to her cottage. Although the voice was very low, Gu Li, who had excellent hearing, still recognized Fang's voice.
It's strange. During Gu Li's growing up years, Fang never deliberately lowered her voice.
There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.
Gu Li carefully turned over and got out of bed, stood next to the wall next to the kitchen, dug out a small hole made by bees in the spring, and put her ear against it.
"Mom, is this okay?" It was Gu Jixia's voice.
"Why not? I am her mother, and I have the final say on her marriage. From the beginning, the marriage with the Lian family was about her marrying that murderer from the Lian family. Now we are at most returning the property to its original owner!"
murderer?
Gu Li wondered where the murderer came from in the Lian family?
The Lian family is an outsider household. Lian's father has passed away for many years, and Lian Yunshen has been dependent on Lian's mother for all these years!
Apart from the scholar Lian Yunshen who was engaged to the Gu family, the only person left in their family was his mother.
Who is the murderer they are talking about?
Gu Li scratched her ears and moved closer, wishing she could squeeze her ears into the hole and reach the next door to listen carefully.
"What did Dad say?"
Fang was confident of winning. "Just because I gave birth to a boy for Gu Jiande, he has to listen to me. What's more, I'm pregnant with his child. What's the use of that dead girl as a burden? It's a pity that I couldn't sell her for a good price."
"Mom, you're still thinking about selling me for money at this time. If she doesn't take my place, I'll have to marry a murderer and my life will be ruined!"
"Don't worry, there's no way I'd let you marry that damn Lian family member. I know my limits. When your father comes back, I'll kidnap her and take her to the Lian family tonight!"
