Chapter 86: Impossible
After returning home, Gu Qingheng was no longer interested in looking at the wolves because Gu Yu had said so, so he went back to his room to continue reading.
Wolves that look like dogs are indeed not interesting.
Especially when his brother-in-law said… that the wolf’s head was cut by his sister to the point of bloody mess, which made Gu Qingheng even less eager to see it.
Although he had finished reading all the books in the previous half of the room, Gu Yu continued to buy more, asking Gu Qingheng to read more… So, until now, Gu Qingheng still had a pile of books left to read.
“Mengyao, what should we do about that wolf?”
“Yu, you go practice writing! I’ll take care of the wolf myself. Although the weather has gotten cold, we can’t keep it here any longer.”
“Can you handle it alone?”
“I’ve been doing this for several years, so it’s no problem! The village chief probably didn’t let us see the scene of pig slaughtering because he was worried that you and Qingheng wouldn’t be used to it, but I’m fine.”
Afterwards, when Gu Yu asked how to deal with the wild wolf’s carcass, Gu Mengyao immediately said that she could do it alone.
As for Gu Yu… it was better for him to stay obediently in the room and practice writing, in case he had a strong adverse reaction to seeing the bloody carcass of the wild wolf.
Although Gu Yu wanted to follow Gu Mengyao, he hesitated after thinking about the scene of disemboweling the wolf.
If nothing else, Gu Yu felt like he would vomit.
Even when he dealt with others using the black bear before, Gu Yu never thought about going to the scene himself, because he felt it was too bloody!
Although Gu Yu was petty and had a strong desire for revenge, he was not a pervert who liked to watch scenes of bloodshed and violence.
It was fine to lose face, but losing face in front of his little wife was something Gu Yu absolutely refused to do!
Therefore, after Gu Qingheng went into the room to read, Gu Yu also went into the room to practice writing. Gu Mengyao changed her clothes, carried the wolf to the shed behind the house, and began to deal with it.
However, Gu Mengyao was not alone. Xiaobai, the little fox, stayed by Gu Mengyao’s side during this time, acting in a fawning manner as if wanting to close the gap between them. Unfortunately, Gu Mengyao was busy disemboweling the wild wolf at the moment and had no time to pay attention to Xiaobai.
Even though Xiaobai acted cute and rolled around asking for a hug, it was all for show and completely useless.
When Gu Mengyao finished dealing with the wolf carcass, she cleaned herself thoroughly. After confirming that there was no lingering smell of blood on her, she took the four fangs that were forcibly pulled out of the wolf’s mouth, preparing to string them up with a red thread to make a necklace.
According to folklore, the teeth of fierce beasts have the magical power to ward off evil and demons.
They are also very good for warding off evil spirits and preventing fright. Wearing a wolf tooth pendant on one’s chest also signifies good luck.
And they look good too, being a very unique decoration.
These were things Gu Mengyao had heard from her father Gu Qing before. Because she was very curious about what a wolf looked like at the time, she dreamed of hunting a wolf for a long time and then making a necklace out of its teeth. She would hang it around her neck and show it off to her playmates, feeling very happy.
That was just a childhood daydream, but Gu Mengyao didn’t expect… that she would actually catch a wolf when she grew up.
When she carried the wolf home, Gu Mengyao had already decided that she would make wolf tooth necklaces and give one to each of the three members of the Gu family.
As for the remaining wolf tooth, Gu Mengyao planned to give it to the little baby after she and Gu Yu had their child!
Although it was still a bit early, it was always good to plan ahead.
Thus, as Gu Mengyao secretly finished processing the wolf tooth necklace, time also passed quickly.
There were less than two days left until New Year’s Eve.
Gu Mengyao hadn’t expected it to take so long, but now that it was almost the New Year, she decided to keep the necklace with her for now… She planned to give it to Gu Yu and Gu Qingheng as New Year’s gifts later.
Gu Mengyao was now constantly imagining what kind of expressions they would have on their faces when she handed the necklaces to Gu Yu and Gu Qingheng.
Although the necklaces Gu Mengyao made were a bit crude, it was her first attempt at handmade crafts, and they held very special meaning. If they showed any disdain… Gu Mengyao decided she would cook meat dishes for a whole month and not a single vegetable!
Hmph, having control of the kitchen was that overbearing!
“Oh no! Mengyao, something bad has happened!”
Just as Gu Mengyao was thinking this to herself, a loud shout suddenly came from outside the courtyard gate, making Gu Mengyao subconsciously frown and turn her head towards the gate.
Usually, at such times, something bad would happen afterward.
However, it was almost New Year, so what could possibly happen?
“Xiaohua, take your time, there’s no rush.”
When Gu Mengyao quickly walked to the courtyard gate, opened it, and saw the panting Wang Xiaohua, she immediately told Wang Xiaohua to rest before speaking, not to rush.
After experiencing so many terrible things before, Gu Mengyao had already been trained. No matter how anxious she was, it would be useless, so it was better to think of ways to deal with it.
However, Wang Xiaohua hadn’t been this anxious when Yang Cao died last time.
This made Gu Mengyao even more curious about what had happened!
“Why aren’t you in a hurry! Your family is in big trouble this time!”
“What big trouble can my family be in? The three of us haven’t even been out much lately, we’re just waiting for the New Year!”
“Lin Jiaoe just went to the village chief’s house to complain, saying that your Gu Yu forced her, and now she’s pregnant!”
“What, that’s impossible!”
When Wang Xiaohua caught her breath, the words she spoke made Gu Mengyao immediately say the word impossible, not believing the matter to be true at all.
Gu Mengyao’s expression was firm, and she didn’t doubt Gu Yu’s infidelity at all.
Although there had been cases of young people having children before, Gu Yu’s affection for her was very obvious. Gu Mengyao knew with just her intuition that something was amiss, and it was likely a frame-up!
Even when they touched in bed, Gu Yu would just hold Gu Mengyao in his arms, without any improper actions.
At most, he would kiss her forehead… It was this kind of Gu Yu that made Gu Mengyao disbelieve that Gu Yu would betray her and get another woman pregnant.
Therefore, this must be a frame-up by Lin Jiaoe!
“I don’t believe it either, but when Lin Jiaoe stated the time of her secret meeting with Gu Yu, some people in the village did see Gu Yu going up the mountain. Now the village is in an uproar, and the village chief asked me to come and find Gu Yu to have a good talk about this matter.”
“Xiaohua, don’t worry, this matter is completely baseless. If Lin Jiaoe really has no shame, I don’t mind escalating the situation, daring to frame my family’s Yu! She’s really tired of living!”
Listening to Wang Xiaohua, Gu Mengyao immediately spoke fiercely, thinking that Lin Jiaoe was really tired of her comfortable life and now wanted to cause trouble for the Gu family, without considering whether Gu Mengyao would agree.
“Sister, what’s going on?”
“Where is your brother-in-law?”
“My brother-in-law said he went up the mountain, he should be back soon.”
When Gu Qingheng’s voice sounded, Gu Mengyao immediately asked where Gu Yu was. Now that the mud had been thrown directly at Gu Yu, if he wasn’t present, the public opinion would likely escalate.
However, Gu Qingheng only said that Gu Yu went up the mountain, but he didn’t know when he would return.
This made Gu Mengyao grit her teeth and decide to go up the mountain to find Gu Yu. Anyway, Gu Yu wouldn’t go too far on the mountain, and she should be able to find him soon.
“Why are you all gathered at the entrance?”
Just as Gu Mengyao was about to go up the mountain, Gu Yu happened to return at this moment. However, before he could even enter the house, he saw Gu Mengyao and the others standing at the entrance with angry expressions on their faces.
She didn’t know what had happened during this time to make her little wife so angry?
Gu Yu had recently gone up the mountain to deal with the assassin Xiyang. After releasing him from his space, Xiyang looked at the snowy scenery all around and immediately believed that Gu Yu’s Spatial Storage was real.
But Gu Yu said at this moment that he only possessed space and medical skills, not that he was an immortal… Otherwise, why would he appear in the mortal world? He would have already ascended to become an immortal and wouldn’t have to stay in the mortal world eating grains.
Xiyang thought about it and agreed, so he kept calling Gu Yu “Master Gu” and tried his best to act like a subservient lackey.
When Gu Yu took out the detoxification pill for Xiyang to take, although he didn’t feel anything physically, Xiyang mentally believed that the poison in his body had been resolved.
Anyone who possessed Spatial Storage was not an ordinary person, even if they were not an immortal.
Therefore, Gu Yu’s claim to be able to detoxify him was surely true.
However, Gu Yu then took out a pill and said it was a poison pill that he had personally refined.
It was made from the essence of forty-nine extremely yin and extremely poisonous substances, and sixty-four poisonous herbs were added. After refining the pills in the medicine furnace, as soon as the lid was opened, all the wild beasts around were poisoned to death, and even the birds flying in the sky did not escape.
In short, Gu Yu used all his effort to scare Xiyang.
After Xiyang was scared to the point of trembling, Gu Yu finally told him the precautions of one dose of antidote per month, asking Xiyang to obey them well.
Afterwards, Gu Yu found a hidden place on the mountain, let the black bear dig a hole, and then let Xiyang live in it to recover from his injuries.
After all, it wasn’t feasible to keep him in the space forever. With the time in the space remaining unchanged, Xiyang’s leg wound would never heal.
After letting Xiyang live in the hole, Gu Yu would come up the mountain every few days to check on the recovery of Xiyang’s wounds and deliver some supplies.
Gu Yu dared not give too many things at once, for fear that Xiyang would run away with them. After all, the poison he gave him was not a real poison… This meant that if Xiyang ran away now, he would be truly free.
However, after his wound had almost recovered, Xiyang did not run away.
As soon as Gu Yu, who had just returned from seeing Xiyang on the mountain, saw his little wife’s furious appearance, he didn’t know who had angered her.
