Chapter Ten: Going Home
Encountering a wild boar attack, how to survive?
1. Stand still and pretend to be one of its kind.
2. Seize the opportunity to run.
3. Hide in the space.
Startled by the sudden appearance of the wild boar, Gu Yu quickly calmed down. As the wild boar charged, he reached out and touched the red mole near his eye, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot.
Fortunately, Gu Yu reacted in time. Even if the wild boar couldn’t be brought into the space, he himself could enter the space to hide.
After narrowly escaping, Gu Yu looked at the prey he had harvested in the space. Although each one was smashed to pieces by rocks, Gu Yu’s tense emotions gradually calmed down. He then calculated how much silver these hunted animals could be exchanged for.
No choice, Gu Yu was very short of money now.
Even encountering a wild boar, he shouldn’t give up on going to the mountains entirely.
The great mountains are a treasure!
However, while it would be quicker to hand over the money exchange to other hunters in town, Gu Yu always felt that the prices were suppressed too low.
Now, even a bite of meat costs a lot of money. Most families in the village don’t have much ability to eat meat often. They usually eat vegetables they grow themselves and steamed buns. Even rice and fine flour are rarely seen.
Wild chicken and wild rabbit together were only worth three hundred wen, but their weight was twenty catties. Pork was priced at twenty wen per catty, so twenty catties could be sold for four hundred wen.
Wild animals are more expensive than domestic ones, so it was clearly a loss.
Thinking of this, Gu Yu decided to go to town himself to sell these wild animals. It wasn’t that he wanted to earn too much, but he didn’t want to lose too much.
After all, the whole family needed money to get through the winter.
After waiting in the space for a while, Gu Yu hesitantly came out. He kept his finger on the corner of his eye, ready to return to the space at any time.
However, when Gu Yu came out of the space, he found that the wild boar that had tried to kill him was nowhere to be seen.
This made Gu Yu breathe a sigh of relief. He didn’t linger there any longer but followed the direction of home, preparing to return.
Along the way, Gu Yu discovered more prey. However, the farther he was from the deep mountains, the fewer prey there were.
It seemed that the deep mountains held many good things!
Although he was tempted, Gu Yu knew his own limitations. He couldn’t even deal with one wild boar. If he really encountered a tiger, he might not even have time to enter the space.
This was because his space couldn’t be entered by thought alone; he had to touch the red mole near his eye…
However, collecting items from the space could be done with consciousness, which saved a lot of trouble.
Gu Yu put his hands in his sleeves, adopting the posture of a farmer. Due to obtaining a lot of prey, the worry that had been on his brows dissipated, making him look as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, captivating and charming.
Gu Mengyao, standing at the door, saw exactly this scene.
Because Gu Yu had been gone for a long time, she was worried and dared not continue to sleep, fearing that after waking up, everything that had happened before would be a fleeting dream.
Especially now, seeing Gu Yu, who was different from his usual self, Gu Mengyao felt extremely uneasy.
Normally, when Gu Yu saw her, he would always glare at her with hostility, as if she were his sworn enemy.
Let alone picking meat for her on the table, he had never even spoken a word to Gu Mengyao. Every time, he just snorted coldly, with clear disdain in his eyes.
It was because Gu Yu had married into the Gu family that he felt that both Gu Mengyao and her brother were bad people.
If they were good people, they would not have accepted Gu Yu’s father’s proposal, and the matter of him marrying into her family would not have happened. Then Gu Yu would still be the grandson of the Yang family, and his life would have continued as usual.
Every time he thought of this, Gu Yu’s resentment lingered, causing him to wish to kill Gu Mengyao every time he saw her.
With a chronically weak body and an overthinking mind, the original Gu Yu might have died like this.
As a result, Gu Yu, who had been replaced by someone else, couldn’t help but smile upwards at the sight of the little wife welcoming him at the door.
