Gu Qingli put it in a big clay pot when it was cooked and asked Xiao Yunjing to bring it to the stove in the central room.

It was good to have so many people. Soon, they got the bowls and chopsticks ready and waited for Gu Qingli to start.

Gu Qingli first tried it to see if it was good enough, then she yelled, “We can start eating.”

Everyone then gathered around the stove and started eating.

The roe deer was huge. Gu Qingli cooked half of it, enough to fill a big pot. Everyone had a great time eating.

Especially the three little ones whose little stomachs were round from eating.

This pot of deer meat was indeed delicious. There were no other ingredients, and it was delicious only because she had added spirit spring water.

There were no chilies here yet. If there were, the taste would be even better when added.

However, she had some in her space. She could think of a way to get some seeds to plant next spring.

“Third brother’s wife, the food you made is delicious.” Mrs. Jiang praised Gu Qingli generously, thinking that it was no wonder that she only ate so little for each meal. She even had two bowls of rice today.

“Yes, third sister-in-law’s cooking is also better than the ones in the town’s restaurants.” Boss Xiao nodded while eating.

“I think it’s better than the ones in the restaurants in the county.” Second brother Xiao said.

“You’ve eaten there?” Madam Wang asked.

“No, no, I didn’t,” Second brother Xiao kept shaking his head.

Mrs. Wang had an expression of disbelief.

The rest of the people smiled.

“When we have money, we can open a small restaurant.” Mrs. Yang suddenly said.

No one replied.

Rich? She didn’t even have enough to eat, but she still had money.

Mrs. Yang knew it was useless to say this and even poked at everyone’s heart.

Gu Qingli nodded and said, “That’s feasible.”

Although she did not have any ambitions, she had a lot of family members. If she opened a restaurant and ran it well, it would be more than enough to provide for her family.

Everyone was silent, and only Xiao Yunjing patted her.

After lunch, they left the unfinished food for dinner. Everyone helped to pack up and went back to their rooms.

It was snowing even harder today, and the ground was covered in thick snow. Gu Qingli played for a while before Xiao Yunjing pulled her into the house.

“Li ‘er, can I send the remaining half of the deer to father and mother? ”

“Less than half is enough for the four to eat for a few days.”

“I heard father say that he’s treating someone to a meal. This half of the deer is almost the same. I’ll go up the mountain to hunt again if we want to eat.”

Gu Qingli nodded, “Okay, I’ll go with you.”

“I’ll go alone. You stay at home.”

“Alright,” he said.

After Xiao Yunjing went out, he didn’t take long to carry the other half out.

Gu Qingli had nothing to do after he left, so she went to the brick bed and soon fell asleep.

In a daze, Gu Qingli saw countless masked men in black fighting in the yard. They surrounded the four Xiao family members and attacked them. Some even tried to kill Mrs. Jiang, Mrs. Yang, Mrs. Wang, and the three younger ones with swords.

A scream was heard, and Gu Qingli couldn’t move even if she wanted to.

She looked at Xiao Yunjing, hoping that he would save them.

But Xiao Yunjing was covered in wounds under the black men’s swords, and it looked like he was about to die.

Gu Qingli’s heart ached, and she yelled with all her might.

“Li ‘er, what’s wrong with you? When Xiao Yunjing came back and saw her in pain, she opened her mouth, but no sound came out, so he immediately woke her up.

Gu Qingli opened her eyes and saw Xiao Yunjing in front of her. She took a breath and threw herself into his arms.

Xiao Yunjing was both surprised and happy. This was the first time his wife had taken the initiative to get close to him.

He hugged her tightly and patted her back. She must have had a nightmare.

“Did you have a nightmare just now?”

“Yes.” Gu Qingli sniffled, unable to calm down from the scene in her dream.

When she saw the Xiaos being killed, she was only anxious, but when she saw Xiao Yunjing’s life in danger, her heart ached.

It turned out that, unknowingly, this man had already entered her heart.

“What nightmare?” Xiao Yunjing asked gently.

“I dreamed that many men in black came to our courtyard. They killed anyone they saw.” Gu Qingli still said it. No matter what the dream was about or whether it was just a dream, she had to tell it.

The Xiao family was not simple. Although old man Xiao looked in good health, the bruises under his eyes could not be hidden from her. Old man Xiao was sick.

Xiao Yunjing and his two brothers knew martial arts and weren’t amateurs.

Although the three did not attend a private school, they could read and practice martial arts.

Sure enough, Xiao Yunjing froze when he heard that, and his hand patting Gu Qingli’s back stopped.

“It’s fine; it was just a dream.” Xiao Yunjing rested his chin on Gu Qingli’s head. Although he was comforting her, he was thinking about something else.

Gu Qingli knew it.

In this case, she should start doing what she wanted to do. No matter what the future was like, she must be able to protect herself.

She was someone who had died once and cherished her life very much. Moreover, she had killed so miserably and for such a short time.

The next day, after breakfast, Gu Qingli went to help Mrs. Wu while Xiao Yunjing drove the ox-cart to town to buy things. Today, Gu Dalin treated everyone to a meal while the roe deer meat was still fresh.

“Sister, you’re so early.” The two surrounded her as soon as they arrived, patted the snow off her body, and pulled her to heat her hands.

“It’s getting late.” Gu Qingli warmed them up and went to see Gu Dalin.

“Li ‘er is here.” Gu Dalin heard her voice and shouted before she even entered the house.

“That’s right. How do you feel today, father?” the three siblings entered the house.

Gu Dalin looked at the three siblings lovingly and said, “Much better. In less than a month, father can walk on the ground.”

“Father, you should lie down for a while longer. Your bones and tendons are injured severely. There’s nothing to do now, so there’s no hurry. ” the three of them sat in front of Gu Dalin. Gu Qingli saw that he looked much better, had gained weight, and was a little whiter. Gu Dalin didn’t look bad at all.

“Hehe, I’m used to doing work in the past. I feel very uncomfortable lying on the brick bed every day.” Gu Dalin smiled.

“You still have to recuperate first.” Xiao Shuang said.

Gu Qingli patted their heads. Xiao Shuang was so bright that she couldn’t refute his words.

Gu Dalin also rubbed Xiao Shuang’s head. “Alright. Father will listen to you.

“That’s good. Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang, keep a close eye on father.”

The two of them nodded.

Gu Dalin looked at the three siblings and smiled without saying a word.

“You guys should stay here and chat with father. I’ll go help and mother.” Gu Qingli stood up and said.

“Sister, you go ahead. We’ll be there in a while.” Da Shuang said.

Gu Qingli nodded and went to the kitchen.

The kitchen was on the left side of the main room. It was a wooden shed; at this time, Mrs. Wu was busy alone.

“Mother.” Gu Qingli waved her hand.

“Ah, Li ‘er is here. Just help mother start the fire. Mrs. Wu said.

Gu Qingli nodded and saw that the water was boiling in the pot.
