Chapter 339: Chapter 339 Countermeasure
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Just as Sister Tian walked to the door, she met Tian Jiaw.a.n.g, who was hurrying to find her.
The siblings were stunned momentarily, and Tian Jiaw.a.n.g asked, “Sister, are you okay?”
“It’s alright; it’s not serious.” Sister Tian replied.
“She didn’t hurt her bones. She’ll be fine after a good rest.” Gu Chengrui echoed.
Tian Jiaw.a.n.g heaved a sigh of relief and looked at the wound. It was on her forearm, and it would definitely show in the summer.
“Will it leave a scar?” he asked again.
“Yes, but after the wound heals, it’ll be completely invisible after two months of applying some scar removal cream.” Gu Chengrui answered.
“That’s great. I’ll leave you to your work, and we’ll talk later.” After Tian Jiaw.a.n.g finished speaking, he left with Sister Tian.
Gu Chengrui washed his hands and went to the kitchen. He saw Zhou Ying sitting in front of the stove and approached her. “Babe, what are you going to cook for dinner?”
“Millet congee, cabbage in vinegar sauce, and a few mutton steamed buns. Is there anything else you want to eat?” Zhou Ying asked. “If there is, 1 can continue cooking.”
“No. But just make a few more buns. I’m a little hungry today.”
“Alright, the water is boiling. Take out your bowl, and I’ll make you a bowl of ginger soup now.”
“Yay, thanks.” Gu Chengrui rejoiced and turned around to remove a bowl from the cupboard, placing it on the stove.
Seeing this, Zhou Ying took a packet of scallion and ginger powder from her inters.p.a.ce, poured it into the bowl, and then poured in the boiling water.
The green onion’s fragrance and the ginger’s spicy taste instantly wafted out.
Zhou Ying saw this, poured the washed millet into the boiling pot, and covered it again. “Wrap it with a cloth and take it away. Drink it while it’s hot.”
Gu Chengrui took a piece of cloth from the side and placed it on the table. He put the bowl on it, then brought over a stool and slowly drank the soup.
After drinking the bowl of ginger soup, Gu Chengrui felt completely alive again.
“The village chief didn’t let our village take the mixed noodles from the higher-ups, so we worked for nothing,” he said.
“That’s the right thing to do anyway, as 1 heard there aren’t many noodles available. By the way, how’s the situation in the other villages?” Zhou Ying asked after she finished preparing the dishes.
“Many people died, but the snowstorm actually killed only a few. Most of them froze or starved to death.”
“Not surprising. There’s a limited amount of grain; no one stocked up on any.”
“However, they could only blame themselves for being lazy. The situation at Xin An village wasn’t much better than theirs originally.
“They should have found a way to save themselves instead of waiting for death. Yet, they did nothing.” Zhou Ying nodded and spoke up.
Gu Chengrui sighed and did not speak again.
Gu Chengrui made more scallions and ginger powder when they entered the inters.p.a.ce that night.
On the other hand, the clan elder mentioned the leopard’s incident to the village chief after dinner.
After the village chief heard this, he took two puffs of his cigarette and said, “This is troublesome. They’ll be frozen silly if 1 ask people to patrol in such cold weather.”
“Exactly. The problem is that it’s hard even to dig a trap in such heavy snow.” The patriarch added.
“I remember there were bells at the oil mill, right?”
“Yes, you want to…”
“The sound of the bell can be heard in the house, but it can’t be heard outside, especially at night.”
“I see. Then just remind everyone to lock their doors at night. During the day, let’s use a net and tie bells around it. If anything breaks into the village, we will definitely hear it.”
“Alright, leave it to me. I’ll make the arrangements tomorrow morning.” The patriarch affirmed.
Gu Chengrui brought a big bag of scallions and ginger powder the following day and left with everyone.
The patriarch gathered the remaining men and used hemp rope to draw a three-layer net around a tree by the village. A bell was hung on each net.
He told everyone about the incident and reminded them to be more vigilant..
