Let's just drift through life together in this quick transmigration story.

Chapter 852 The Substitute Bride (14)

Gou Ding trembled on the bed, but remained unconscious.

After seeing the doctor off, the big cat and his men stayed by the bedside, wanting to do something more for Gou Ding, even if it meant dying to fulfill his wish before he died.

Since they no longer had to worry about food and drink, the big cat has also become kind-hearted.

"Gou Ding, wake up! What else do you want?"

"Gou Ding, wake up! What do you want to eat?"

.....

Three or four beggars were talking all at once around Gou Ding, and Da Mao was very worried.

"Wake up, you'll get through this."

Gou Ding's eyes were tightly closed, and he mumbled, "I don't want to die, please don't kill me, please, don't kill me."

Seeing this, the big cat scratched its messy hair and began to gently pat Gou Ding's face. "Wake up, no one will kill you, and no one dares to kill you. The boss will protect us."

Gou Ding shut up completely, and the big cat also realized he had said something wrong, so he touched his neck.

It wasn't good for a group of beggars to be gathered here, so Big Cat gave the few people the loose silver he had just been preparing to buy medicine. "Go and find a straw mat, buy some paper money and candles. If there's anything left, buy some wine for Gou Ding to drink on the way."

"it is good."

Big Cat thought wine was a good thing, so he wanted Gou Ding to try it too.

The other beggars were all sent away. Big Cat stayed by Gou Ding's side and began to mutter, "Life and death are predestined, wealth and honor are determined by fate. If you are reborn into a good family in your next life, you won't have to suffer anymore."

Don't blame the old man,"

When the boss was mentioned, Gou Ding suddenly opened his eyes and stared blankly at the big cat.

This action startled the big cat. "What's wrong? Are you alright?"

Gou Ding spoke in a formal, official tone, "I'm fine, thank you for your concern. You can leave now if there's nothing else."

The big cat scratched its head. "If you're alright, I'll head out now. You can call me if you need anything."

Gou Ding was acting strangely, but the big cat was too happy that Gou Ding was still alive to notice.

Not long after the big cat left, Gou Ding sat up from the thatched roof and carefully looked around.

Having his hair loose on his head was a bit annoying, so Gou Ding found a small stick nearby and used it to tie his hair up and secure it on top of his head.

The big cat had been carefully listening to the sounds inside the house from the doorway. When there was no response, it was about to push the door open to go in when it happened to run into Gou Ding.

Gou Ding: "Is there anything else?"

Big Cat: "It's good that you're better."

"Ah."

After Gou Ding finished speaking, he brushed past Da Mao. Da Mao scratched his head, feeling that something was off about Gou Ding, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

It seems quite normal for a person to experience a life-or-death experience and then wake up with a drastically changed personality.

Gou Ding walked around the yard, patted his belly, and said to the big cat, "Do you have any food? Give me some."

The big cat took out a bone with meat on it from its bosom and handed it to Gou Ding, saying, "Here you go, this is the food I saved for you."

Gou Ding looked at the big cat's actions with disgust. In his opinion, food should not be stuffed into dirty clothes.

But even though his stomach was empty, Gou Ding still took the bone and gnawed on it carefully.

Big Cat: "If you're still hungry, I'll go find you some more. We don't lack food or drink right now."

"What kind of meat is this? It doesn't taste good."

The big cat was displeased upon hearing this and lightly kicked Gou Ding with its foot, saying, "What are you saying? It's good enough to have meat to eat, why do you have to pick and choose whether it tastes good or not?"

Gou Ding: "You dare hit me?"

When Big Cat first saw Gou Ding asking a question, and considering that this person was somewhat abnormal, he was a little suspicious. He said, "Do I need to check the date to beat you up?" and left in a hurry.

Gou Ding took a couple of bites of the bone and put it down, then started wandering around looking at it.

Xiong Bufan lay on the recliner gnawing on a bone, casually talking to Kongkong, "Kongkong, do you think Xie Manlou is dead?"

“Bu Fan, someone has planted a spy in your company.”

Xiong Bufan: ? ? ? This is the first time I've seen someone plant a spy in the Beggars' Sect.

Kongkong: "It's extraordinary. It was arranged by the original author's consciousness. I don't know exactly who it is yet, but we all need to be careful."

"it is good."

Things are getting more and more interesting now. If Xiong Bufan hadn't been involved, he would have really just watched this as a spectacle.

The horse meat and the stolen silver were limited, and the group was almost finished eating them.

After Xiong Bufan tallied up the belongings, he quickly arranged for the beggars to take sticks and join him in their old ways, blocking roads and demanding protection money. If the other party refused, they would beg for mercy.

By robbing first and then begging, Xiong Bufan can be considered to have pioneered the practice of robbing and begging simultaneously.

Big Cat was familiar with Xiong Bufan's way of doing things and kept busy helping him. Gou Ding gradually came to help as well.

Moreover, he is more proactive than before, and he is no longer afraid of Xiong Bufan. Instead, he works even harder.

It's a pity that the paper money and candles that the big cat arranged to buy with money are now kept in a drafty room because it's considered unlucky, and no one goes there on weekdays.

People associated with Cui Guohong investigated many times, and the government was also called in to investigate once, but in the end, there was still no clue. In addition, someone cried and asked for two copper coins.

When the officers and soldiers came to inspect, Xiong Bufan watched them inspect from the yard, and even pointed out places they hadn't seen.

Gou Ding stood to one side, picking at his fingers, lost in thought.

The big cat was completely bewildered, having no idea what was happening. It thought the officers had come to investigate illegal construction and kept crying to the soldiers that it was innocent.

The cause of death of Cui Guohong and the others remains a mystery. No matter how anxious their families were, they couldn't find anything in the end and had to look elsewhere.

Xiong Bufan's business did not backfire, nor was it illegal.

Basically, you have to give something to anyone who passes by; if they're selling vegetables, you have to give them a small bunch of vegetables.

The group of people quickly got by, and in the winter, they even had money to buy thatch and bricks to repair their houses so that they wouldn't be so cold.

Xiong Bufan used the money he had begged to buy a second-hand coat for almost all the beggars, so that they wouldn't have to go through the winter.

Occasionally, Xiong Bufan can be quite kind.

Gou Ding had been investigating where Xiong Bufan had hidden the body. He guessed that Xiong Bufan had buried the body nearby and was digging holes everywhere, but unfortunately, he hadn't found anything.

After the first winter snow fell, the original traces of snow were even less noticeable. Gou Ding could only stand in the courtyard, praying to heaven that it would stop snowing.

Heaven will not heed Gou Ding's prayers, but Xiong Bufan will take Da Mao and the others up the mountain to hunt.

On snowy days, although Big Cat and his friends can't catch large wild animals in the mountains, they can still catch rabbits, hunt pheasants, and break ice holes in the river to catch fish.

This winter has been better than usual; even the big cat seems much more energetic when it goes up the mountain.
