At this moment, Madam Fang walked out. Behind her was another woman. That woman looked a little similar to the man in front of her.
Madam Fang was quite unhappy to see Gu Yundong, especially when she saw that she was carrying a basket of vegetables. She frowned.
However, there was still a guest at home. She still had a smile on her face and introduced, “This is the Gu family that I told you about, who are staying at my house for the time being. They don’t have any adult men, so it’s convenient for them to stay at our house. Our Yulan doesn’t have any siblings either. It’s rare for her to have a few kids at home. She’s so happy. She said that as an elder sister, she has to take good care of them.”
Gu Yundong sneered and did not say anything.
Madam Fang then said to her, “This is Auntie Wu from town. That’s Auntie Wu’s youngest son. He just got engaged to our Yulan.”
When she mentioned town, Madam Fang’s face was filled with a sense of superiority.
Gu Yundong greeted Aunt Wu and returned to her room.
Auntie Wu frowned. “Why is she so rude?”
“Sigh.” Madam Fang sighed. “She fled here and met many bad people along the way. It’s inevitable that she’ll be wary of strangers. Let’s not talk about her. Stay here for dinner. I’ll get Yulan to cut a piece of meat.”
“That’s good. I’ve never tasted Yulan’s cooking before.”
Madam Fang called Chen Yulan out of the house. Gu Yundong could still hear their voices from afar. She frowned slightly. Indeed, it was very inconvenient to stay in someone else’s house.
She had to earn money quickly. After that, she would get Uncle Feng to hire more people and speed up.
However, what should she do? The most basic thing in the countryside was still farming. When they came to Yongfu Village, they could get two mus of wasteland, but they had to cultivate it themselves.
Even if Gu Yundong was an expert in farming, it was impossible for her to earn money in a month.
Gu Yundong turned his head and looked in the direction of the Nine Tigers Mountain.
As the saying went, one had to rely on whatever they had. Yongfu Village was at the foot of the Nine Tigers Mountain. It was said that the Nine Tigers Mountain was endless, and all kinds of ferocious beasts lived in the depths of the mountains. Even the most skilled hunters in the vicinity did not dare to enter.
Gu Yundong felt that she should go to the Nine Tigers Mountain to find an opportunity.
After setting her goal, she was temporarily at ease.
Later, Chen Yulan knocked on their door and whispered that she was good at cooking. She wanted her to secretly cook dinner for the Wu family.
Gu Yundong refused without even finding a reason.
The next morning, she carried a basket on her back and headed for the Nine Tigers Mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, many children were picking firewood and digging wild vegetables. Further in, they could see some women looking for mushrooms.
Gu Yundong had also wanted to find some mushrooms. Seeing this, she could only continue walking in.
Then she saw a pheasant. Gu Yundong chuckled. “My luck is not bad. This pheasant is quite fat.”
She took out the crossbow that she had placed in the basket on her back and aimed it at the pheasant.
She had fought with mutated animals during the apocalypse, so it was not a big deal to hunt a pheasant.
She threw the pheasant into the basket and continued walking in.
When she saw a rabbit again, Gu Yundong was a hundred times more confident that he would be able to gather enough money to build a house in a month.
However, when she picked up the crossbow and aimed it at the rabbit again, her body suddenly trembled, as if something terrifying was staring at her back. The hair on her body stood on end.
She stopped in her tracks and spun around. She aimed the crossbow bolt at the tree behind her and pulled the trigger..
