Chapter 147 Winter Hunting

During this holiday, Gu Qingyu was enjoying a very comfortable and relaxing time. Without the pressure of work, she could not only sleep in naturally every day, but also wake up to a delicious breakfast carefully prepared by Li Dahua.

In his spare time, Gu Qingyu would stroll around the village, and sometimes he would go to the mushroom greenhouse in the village to check how the mushrooms in each household were growing and see if they needed any help.

Just when Gu Qingyu felt that the days were boring, the annual winter hunting activity of Hongqi Commune officially began.

Every year on the 25th day of the 12th lunar month, the commune would organize its own militia to go hunting in the outskirts of Mangshan. This was to prevent wild animals from coming down from the mountains and injuring people during the winter, when food was scarce. It was also to get more prey to ensure a good New Year for everyone.

When Gu Qingyu heard the news, he immediately became excited and ran to the brigade headquarters to sign up.

"No!" Gu Lei interrupted Gu Qingyu before he even finished speaking and refused.

"Why not?" Gu Qingyu asked Gu Lei with dissatisfaction.

"It's so dangerous in the mountains. You're a girl, what would you do if something happened? Besides, does your grandma know that you're going into the mountains with me?"

Gu Lei didn't dare let Gu Qingyu go into the mountains. If Li Dahua knew about it, he would be chased and beaten by her.

Gu Lei knew about this aunt's fierce fighting record when she was young, and he didn't want to be chased and beaten with a broom at his age.

Before Gu Qingyu could utter a word of rebuttal, Gu Lei stopped her.

Uh... she was so excited just now that she forgot about her grandma. What should she do now?

Gu Qingyu really wanted to go into the mountains with them, but she didn't dare to tell Li Dahua. Just when Gu Qingyu was hesitating and didn't know what to do, Li Yansong walked in.

As soon as Li Yansong entered the brigade headquarters, he saw Gu Qingyu standing aside with a sad face, and Gu Lei pretending to be busy and not even looking at Gu Qingyu. He didn't understand what was going on between the uncle and nephew.

"Young man from the Li family, is there anything you need to come here for?" Gu Lei looked at Li Yansong and asked curiously.

"The snow fell early this year, causing food shortages for the animals in the mountains. The commune militia was worried that the animals in the deep mountains would move out to the outer reaches, so they recruited some experienced people to join the hunt as external support."

"I told Captain Yu that I was on vacation in the village, so I wouldn't go to the commune to meet up with them. I would go directly into the mountains with the militia in our village and then meet up in the mountains later," Li Yansong explained.

After hearing what Li Yansong said, Gu Lei immediately turned to Gu Qingyu and said, "You heard me, it's not that I don't agree with you going, it's just that the circumstances this year are special! Let's just stay home honestly, okay?"

Gu Qingyu originally didn't know what to do, but when Li Yansong came, she came up with a solution.

"Uncle Lei, Li Yansong can serve as an external aid for the commune militia, so why can't I go?"

Gu Qingyu didn't wait for Gu Lei to speak before continuing, "Remember when Li Yansong and I sparred on the hill behind Xiaao Village? Ask him how my skills and marksmanship are."

After saying that, Gu Qingyu looked at Li Yansong leisurely, with an expression that said, "You'd better answer me nicely," which made Li Yansong laugh.

"Ahem, Qingyu's skills and marksmanship are really good!" Li Yansong said with a light cough.

Gu Qingyu widened her eyes and looked at Li Yansong in surprise with an expression as if to say, "You've said that already?" She thought to herself, "Doesn't this guy know how to say a few more words?"

Li Yansong naturally noticed Gu Qingyu's dissatisfied expression. A smile flashed across his eyes, and he continued, "Secretary Gu, if you are worried, you can let Qingyu stay with me after entering the mountain. With me watching over you, you can rest assured, right?"

When Gu Qingyu heard this, she immediately looked up at Gu Lei with starry eyes, which made Gu Lei speechless.

Forget it. Seeing that the girl is determined to go into the mountains, if I don’t agree, she might try to sneak into the mountains.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to just follow the girl's wishes. Anyway, when my aunt comes to investigate, there is Li Yansong in front to attract fire, so he will be safer, right?

"Okay! Okay! I'll let you go, but you have to promise to follow Li Yansong obediently and not run around, okay?" Gu Lei reminded him again with concern.

"Don't worry, Uncle Lei! I promise to be obedient!" When Gu Qingyu saw that his goal was achieved, he patted his chest and promised Gu Lei happily.

Outside the brigade headquarters, Gu Qingyu looked at Li Yansong with a smile and said gratefully, "Thanks, brother. If you hadn't come later, my uncle Lei might not have agreed to let me go into the mountains!"

"When we get back into the mountains, you can go ahead and do whatever you want, and I'll just follow the main group!" Gu Qingyu said with a look on his face that he would not bother the other party.

Li Yansong was suddenly stunned by Gu Qingyu's "brother". How did this become brothers?

Separate actions? No way!

He had just gone to great lengths to cover for Gu Qingyu in there, just so that the two of them could be alone together and act separately. Damn it!

Li Yansong, having recovered from his shock, said to Gu Qingyu seriously, "That won't do. Since I promised Secretary Gu that I would ensure your safety, I must stay by your side to protect you. How can we be separated?"

"Um... aren't you going to join up with the militia?" Gu Qingyu asked Li Yansong with a puzzled look on his face.

"Don't worry about that. I will naturally communicate with Captain Yu!"

"Okay, then I'll go into the mountains with you." Gu Qingyu said indifferently, as long as he could go into the mountains to hunt.

The next morning, Gu Qingyu arrived at the gathering place early without telling Li Dahua, took the hunting rifle from the militia captain, put it on his back, and followed the team into the mountains with Li Yansong.

Many of the young and middle-aged people who came out of Gujia Village this time were Gu Qingyu’s childhood friends. It was natural that the atmosphere became lively when a group of people got together.

"Qingyu, tell me the truth, did you follow me here secretly without telling your grandma?"

"Needless to say? If Qingyu's grandmother knew, she would definitely not let Qingyu come with us!"

"Haha, I suddenly remembered when I was a kid, Qingyu sneaked down to the foot of the mountain to play, but was discovered by her grandma, who chased her all over the village and beat her up!"

Gu Qingyu followed behind, and was speechless when she heard her former friends exposing her shortcomings in front of her. Some of you are really something, didn’t you see that there was a stranger next to her?

"Hey, everyone, can you please stop it?" Gu Qingyu raised his fist towards the people in front of him and threatened with gritted teeth.

Hahahaha! Everyone answered Gu Qingyu with a burst of laughter.
