Chapter 29: Out of the House
Soon the news that Gu Rong was going back to his hometown spread, and with the benefit of Gu Rong, most of the miscellaneous servants in the house said two good words for Gu Rong, and the news also spread when he met the steward, saying that he was a hard-working person, and he was finally willing to come to his hometown, and he should be accommodating, and it was also the beauty of adults to let people go home early.

Gu Rong is just a handyman for helpers, the masters are not eye-catching, or the housekeeper manages and rectifies, originally Steward Mu was angry after listening to the reply of the attendant, and wanted to beat Gu Rong to make a plank, so that she could work with peace of mind in the future, but after a while, she heard that Gu Rong had encountered a great joy, and her heart was excusable, so she called Gu Rong over and beat it:
"Although it is a great joy that you want to go home and get married, but Xiangguo Mansion is not a small family where you come out, there are always rules, you are delayed because of family affairs today, and you missed the business in the house, I am afraid that this month's salary will not be given, and you should understand. β
"You say yes, and I know it. It's just that it happened suddenly, as you know, I came to the house to beg for a husband, and when I got old, I always didn't settle down, and my heart was not steady. I suddenly got the news this morning, and I was also happy and stupid, so I made a mistake. Gu Rong was looking forward to getting out of the house soon, so he didn't care about this, so he only bowed his head and agreed.
"It's good that you know, and it's good that I look at you. Anyway, I'll report to my master, and I'll give you some of this month's salary, just to congratulate you. Steward Mu had a good attitude towards Gu Rong, and his mood was also relaxed, and after the depression dissipated, he thought about giving a sweet date to a stick, and took out a few copper plates from his purse and gave them to Gu Rong, Gu Rong smiled and thanked him again and again as usual, and Steward Mu only impatiently signaled that she could leave Xiangguo Mansion.
Gu Rong walked quietly, he was alone when he came, and when he left, he packed up all his things with a small baggage, put his salary in his arms, and went out of Xiangguo's Mansion, after the back door of Xiangguo's Mansion creaked and closed, Gu Rong walked down the path without any nostalgia.
Walking to the hidden place halfway down the road, Gu Rong hid his body and exchanged his points for some silver money in the system, so he found a place to hire a carriage and went straight to the countryside.
In her last life, she escaped from Xiangguofu, and she had been hiding in a hidden place in the countryside for a while, so she was familiar with it, so she simply went there again.
It was already noon when he arrived at the destination, Gu Rong wiped his sweaty forehead, looked at the scenery in the distance with some emotion, thanked the coachman for paying the money, and limped to the end of the path.
At the end of the road is a forest, the trees are tall, and there is a small courtyard of blue bricks in the shadow of the trees.
In the last life, Gu Rong came here, and thought it was someone's other village, and later learned that it was a widowed Xiao Langjun's dowry, that Langjun was a foreigner in the capital, and after his wife died, he returned to his hometown, and the manor was hired to take care of the nearby farmers, and the farmers would not manage, and they were negligent in management for a period of time, and the Zhuangzi gradually fell into disuse, and the owner of the manor was looking for someone to sell at a low price, but the manor was located in the middle of nowhere, at the foot of the mountain, and outside was a farmer's village, there was no official road that was inconvenient to pass, and those who could afford it could not afford to look down on this location, and there was not enough money to look at, so the manor was put aside, and only a few old servants who returned to Langjun lived in the small courtyard to take care of itγ
Gu Rong was hiding here for a while, he was taken in as a helper, he didn't want to be paid, he just wanted to have a place to live, he was very familiar with those old servants, and he had a lot of help from them to hide, so it was rare to live in peace for a while. If it weren't for Yuehua taking Gongsun Yu to play and pass by by chance later, Gu Rong was afraid that he would be able to live in peace forever.
This time, Gu Rong planned to buy the entire Zhuangzi.
Knocking on the door of the blue brick campus, a woman with a dark face poked her head out, looked at Gu Rong suspiciously, Gu Rong bowed: "Excuse me, I heard that your mansion is going to sell this place, so I came to inquire." β
Hearing this, the black-faced woman cautiously looked at Gu Rong around, and then opened the door and let Gu Rong in: "The master is not here at this time, wait for us to write to ask, wait for the steward to come over in a few days, but the father-in-law will check it first?"
"Then it's tiring. I don't have a permanent place to live here, so can I stay for a few days until the steward comes? Gu Rong knew that it was this woman who was in charge of the small courtyard at this time, so he asked.
The black-faced woman was going to refuse, but looking at Gu Rong's appearance, she hesitated again: "Is the daughter-in-law sincere in wanting to buy a small courtyard?" If it is sincere, it is feasible to check it for a few days, but there is no servant with her, so it is inconvenient in the end. β
After so many years, Gu Rong is not the low EQ who didn't understand the meaning of others, and immediately understood that this was a person who saw his appearance as depressed, not like he would buy Zhuangzi, and was testing himself, so he smiled and said: "Sincere." The words of this servant, I really don't hide it, I was also an idler, I only know how to fiddle with medicinal materials, fortunately, my ancestors have some thin property, and I have accumulated some work by myself, which is considered to be some surplus money, and I heard that there is real estate for sale nearby, the price is right, and the family property adds up to just enough, so I was moved. In this way, it is easy for me to take care of myself, but the servants are surplus, and besides, if I want to buy property, I have to save the silver. β
The woman listened to Gu Rong's seemingly frank words, and her heart also settled, and she was more enthusiastic about Gu Rong: "The daughter-in-law is also a heart, and she can see that our Zhuangzi is good." Most people think that the terrain is not good, but we live for a long time to know that it is really good, not to mention, the dozens of acres of land are all fertile fields, rented out, it is also a sum of income, and it is not bad to plant it yourself. If it weren't for Lang Jun's unintentional management of the Zhuangzi a few years ago, how could the Zhuangzi be sold so cheaply?"
These Gu Rong knew last time, and the woman nodded honestly and sincerely, she followed the technicians to plant medicinal herbs in the last mission world, and also explored some experience, knowing that the land above and below the mountain is suitable for planting medicinal herbs, and several old people in Zhuangzi are also good at farming and growing vegetables, and they originally planned to return to their old business, saying that they want to fiddle with medicinal materials is not a mouthful, she also has to do something to make a living in Baiguo, and it is appropriate to do a business of medicinal materials.
With this plan, Gu Rong showed some tone when he was chatting, and the woman listened a little carefully, and when Gu Rong turned Zhuangzi around, several people in the courtyard also turned their heads, and their expressions were really a little warm.
In the afternoon, Gu Rong stayed in a side hall in the courtyard, paid some money to entrust the lady in charge to help him buy a batch of medicinal materials, and the items of the bath bucket medicinal diet were also neatly arranged one by one, and at night when the sky was a little dark, he drank the medicinal food, soaked in the bath barrel medicinal bath, and began to practice Xuannu Gong.
With the experience of groping in the previous world for more than ten years, Gu Rong's first step went very smoothly, silently reciting the mental formula, spending three hours of medicinal effects into the body, and finally finding the sense of qi, and then concentrating on absorbing the medicinal liquid.
Gu Rong's own body was about to be unable to keep up with nutrition in the early years, the foundation was too poor, and the quality was a few points worse than Xiao Zhenming's, and it took most of the day to notice that the meridians in the body were a little hot, and he absorbed the medicinal liquid for another hour, and he didn't even find the sense of qi, so he didn't move, and the ingredients absorbed were less than half of the ingredients of the medicinal bath, Gu Rong was a little regretful, rinsed and cleaned up the bath bucket, and began to practice the moves of Xuannugong.
Gu Rong practiced the movements of Xuannu Gong extremely skillfully, but his body was stiff, and his right leg was not strong, and he only found the feeling after practicing for an hour, and his movements slowly became standardized.
Gu Rong was immersed in the exercises, but she didn't notice that the sky outside was starting to brighten again, and it was the system that woke her up with a tail call.
Gu Rong touched his cheeks, quite regretful: "24 hours is still too short, and when I go back and forth like this, I am almost unfamiliar with the original world, I am really afraid that I will be fine." β
As a woman in the White Country, every time she does a task, the world is a world where men are respected, and after two consecutive worlds, Gu Rong has barely adapted to it, but the subtle sense of confusion when she returns to the White Country cannot be ignored.
What's more, the time spent in the mission world each time is much longer than the time when he comes back, and the difference between 24 hours and a few years is at least, and over time, Gu Rong is really afraid that he will get lost in the mission world.
The system called up the panel to check it, and wagged its tail: "Such a situation does occur, in order to solve this situation, the system has special emergency measures." You completed the rookie world quest very well, and the last official quest was also completed well, so the emergency measures can be redeemed and used, and you can give it a try when you get to the next world. β
"Emergency measures, can you explain them in detail?" Gu Rong was a little curious, and just asked, but the familiar feeling of dizziness had already come, and Gu Rong knew that the 24-hour time limit had arrived, and he was being forcibly teleported into the mission world.
"Landlord, be careful!"
As soon as Gu Rong's consciousness arrived in the world, before he could react, he heard an exclamation, and at the same time, the buzz of the sharp weapon breaking through the air made Gu Rong's scalp numb, and he didn't want to think about it, Gu Rong turned around.
Originally, he just wanted to dodge the weapon coming towards the door, but when he turned around and jumped up, Gu Rong felt a stream of air flowing in his body, and at the same time, his body also flew backwards lightly, not only dodging the attack but also continuing to rise, Gu Rong, who didn't know what was going on, was stunned, fortunately, there was inertia in his body, and the air flow in Gu Rong's stunned body flowed in a circle, and Gu Rong stopped in mid-air.
When he paused, the light veil attached to Gu Rong's face was cut by the oncoming sword qi just now, and it fluttered and fell, and the group of onlookers below saw the face of Gu Rong's body at this time, and gasped and stopped moving.
And Gu Rong's airflow in his body disappeared after a breath, and he noticed that his body was falling, Gu Rong held his breath and subconsciously made the action of Xuannu Gong to lighten his body and lift his qi.
