Chapter 59: Picking Children in the Grove

People say that relying on the mountains eats the mountains, and relying on the sea to eat the sea.

Their carriage was right next to a small grove of woods, which they naturally had to rely on for a steaming meal.

Spreading out a tablecloth on the ground, Gu Qi took down the pots and spoons prepared in the morning from the carriage, and ordered everyone: "Brother Ge, you come to make a fire, Qingquan and zongzi go to collect some game, and the rest of the people will go with me to pick mushrooms." ”

In fact, it is not difficult to eat a meal in the wild, but the difficulty is whether you can find something to eat.

But she doesn't care about this at all, just kidding, it's her forte to find food.

"But why should I follow you?" Duanmu Jiya pulled her face, she didn't want to pick up any mushrooms with Gu Qi, she was the princess of Nanzhao Kingdom, only she arranged others, how could she have been arranged.

Looking at Duanmu Jiya's depressed face, Gu Qi naturally knew that this person was a princess again, but she didn't care who she was, she had to work if she wanted to eat.

With a flick of his arm, Gu Qi threw a cloth bag on Duanmu Jiya's body: "Do you like to go, but I can tell you in advance, someone seems to owe me 100,000 taels of silver......"

Poof, everyone was almost about to laugh, this girl really can't open any pot.

"Go, I'll do it!" Duanmu Jiya took the cloth bag and followed behind Gu Qi complainingly, isn't it just picking mushrooms, cutting, it's not that I haven't seen it, I'll pick it for you later.

So, everyone began to act according to what Gu Qi said, and the two of them, Xuan'er and the maid walked to the corner of the woods together.

She had asked Ge Hong just now, and he said that there seemed to be a smell of mushrooms in that direction, and as long as nothing else, a bunch of mushrooms should be harvested.

The thought of those fragrant, creamy, fatty mushrooms melted into the soup made her feel the urge to drool.

Someone doesn't seem to think so, though.

"Hey, how far do you have to go, why haven't you seen a single mushroom?"

Nonsense, just walked into the woods, you thought mushrooms could grow casually!

"Hey, what do you think mushrooms look like?"

You're stupid, you don't know mushrooms, so do you know cucumbers?

"Hey, look if that's a mushroom." Duanmu Jiya pointed to a red umbrella plant, which had a few clear white dots on it.

Seeing that thing, Gu Qi really wanted to strangle Duanmu to death, it was highly poisonous, did this guy want everyone to die collectively?

"Duanmu, shut up for me!" Gu Qi gritted his teeth and stared at Duanmu Jiya with an ugly face, he didn't expect that this guy was not only a brain-dead but also a chatter, this mushroom didn't find her, and she was almost tortured to death by her magic voice.

Frightened by Gu Qi's fierce expression, Duanmu Jiya leaned in the direction of the maid unconvinced, wanting to ask for help, but the maid also knew that her master's temper was unwilling to stand up for her, but she was so angry that her nostrils smoked.

Hmph, you wait for me, and then I will make you look good when I return home.

Seeing that Duanmu Jiya finally quieted down, Gu Qi breathed a sigh of relief, felt the air rich in grass and trees in the forest, and finally found the mushrooms in a depression.

"Look, there." Gu Qi pointed to the mushrooms with small umbrellas in front of him, and happily stepped forward to pick them, these mushrooms are fragrant and tender, and it is estimated that you can eat chicken stewed mushrooms in a while!

Duanmu Jiya also saw naturally growing mushrooms for the first time, and seeing Qi Cai's cheerfulness, she was also busy picking up her example, and after a while, her cloth bag was half full.

"Hey, there's a big one here." Duanmu saw the big white mushroom in front of him, and grabbed it, but he didn't bother to see something trembling slightly behind the mushroom.

"Ahh

Duanmu Jiya was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she sat on the ground with a pale face.

Gu Qi hurriedly stepped forward, came to Duanmu Jiya's side, and looked at it in the direction of her finger, only to find that it was trembling slightly. Something that shakes is a child.

"Little one...... The little guy ......" Gu Qi tried to shake his hand, but the child still didn't react as if he hadn't heard.

After a little hesitation, Gu Qi picked up the child who was already paralyzed there and hurriedly ran in the direction where he came, completely ignoring Duanmu Jiya, who was shouting behind him.

Outside the grove, Zongzi and the others, who had already hit the prey, saw Gu Qi rushing towards them without knowing what they were carrying, and when the people got closer and closer, they saw that what she was holding in her arms was actually a child.

"Lady, didn't you go mushroom picking? How to pick up a child and come back. Look at the child she was holding, her face was bruised, her lips were pale, and her body was still trembling from time to time. Trembling, it looks like a sign of poisoning.

Before Gu Qi could speak, Ge Hong also noticed the child's vision, and hurriedly took him from his arms, laid him flat on the grass and began to apply needles.

The purpose of this injection is to control the toxin not to continue to spread, but if you want to detoxify it well, you need to identify what kind of poison is in the child.

"How's it going, is there salvation?" Gu Qi knelt beside the child, looking nervously as Ge Hong pierced the silver needles he carried on several of the child's key points one by one.

"I don't know." Ge Hong didn't say much at this time, just concentrated on the needle, and after a while, the child's body turned slightly sideways, and a mouthful of black blood spit out from his mouth.

"Saved!" Ge Hong dipped it in a clean silk handkerchief, and then took it to his nose and sniffed it, his face was clear.

Throwing the silk handkerchief into the fire that had already been lit, Ge Hong raised his eyes and explained to everyone: "It doesn't matter, the child can't die with me here. I'll wait for a few doses of medicine from the herbs we brought, and keep him safe so that he can wake up tomorrow. ”

Gu Qi nodded silently, it could be seen from Ge Hong's hands just now that he really had two brushes, and he used to think that what he said was inevitably exaggerated, but now it seems that he is worthy of the name.

It's just that I don't know what happened, so that such a little child is deeply poisoned, and he is still in such an unattended grove, if they hadn't accidentally passed by, I'm afraid this child's life would have been dead.

"You ...... You ......" Duanmu Jiya, who was lagging behind, finally caught up breathlessly, and Xuan'er and the maid also walked over, and saw the child with blood at the corner of his mouth at a glance.

"Sister, he's so pitiful." Xuan'er snuggled up to Gu Qi's side, looking at the child who was about the same age as herself, and her heart was also moved. Fortunately, he still has his sister and brothers, and the child is left alone here.

Gu Qi smiled lightly and touched Xuan'er's head, noncommittal. As the saying goes, blessings and misfortunes depend on them, and misfortunes and blessings lurk, this child suffers such a great sin, there must be a reason during the period, and whether he can survive this difficulty depends on his own creation.

And she also wants to know whose family this child is.
