Chapter 150: Life in the Mountains
The drunkard's strength was very strong, Gu Qingzhu shrugged her shoulders, but she couldn't break free, she twisted her eyebrows and was slightly angry: "Third master, you are drunk!" ”
Mu Jincheng turned a deaf ear, lowered his head, pondering the bright stars in her eyes, and there was a vague shadow in that sea of stars, he glared at him, and he glared at him.
The warm aroma of wine sprayed on Gu Qingzhu's face, Bai Ruoguanyu's face was close at hand, his eyebrows were picturesque, his lips were like petals, and his cheeks were dyed with peach blossom-like powder in March due to drunkenness, which became more enchanting and charming.
Gu Qingzhu's heart was beating like a drum, when someone dared to be so presumptuous, she blushed for a while, and was so angry that she wanted to fight.
"Gu Qingzhu, you are so good-looking, but you are also really fierce, I don't know which unlucky person will marry you in the future!" Mu Jincheng withdrew his hand in time, jumped a step back, grinned, and said arrogantly.
"You ......, I'm too lazy to talk to you as a drunk!" Gu Qingzhu took a deep breath, rolled his eyes, and turned around to clean up the scraps on the table.
Mu Jincheng, who was drunk, leaned towards her again, Gu Qingzhu pressed him on the chair and stuffed the tea into his hand: "Drink tea, wash up, sleep!" ”
After speaking, Gu Qingzhu went to the kitchen with the dishes.
Mu Jincheng, who was very bored, rubbed his eyes, only to feel that the heavens and the earth were spinning, everything in front of him was blurry and floating, he looked up at the night sky, the Milky Way was surging, and the stars were twinkling and flying. He couldn't help but mutter, "I'm going back?" I'm going back! ”
As soon as Bao Ying walked outside, he heard the movement in the courtyard, he just thought that the master had hysteria again, ran in in a panic, and hugged Mu Jincheng: "Master, master, third master......"
His frightened voice caused Su Duchun to come out in a hurry: "What's the matter?" ”
"The third master is only afraid that he will be sick again!" Bao Ying's face was so bitter that he almost dripped bile.
There was a commotion in the courtyard, Gu Qingzhu came out with a bowl of cold water and splashed it on Mu Jincheng's face: "How can there be so many hypocritical problems, it's just that I drank too much wine and made a mistake!" ”
Gu Qingzhu was a little annoyed by what happened just now, he shot quickly and ruthlessly, Su Duchun didn't have time to stop him, and saw that Mu Jincheng's face was full of water droplets, and his front placket was even more wet.
The autumn night was cold, Mu Jincheng was stirred by the cold water, and suddenly sobered up, and then looked at this side of the world, there was no change at all, only the three people around him looked at him with different faces.
Mu Jincheng saw the bowl in Gu Qingzhu's hand, wiped the water droplets on his face and said, "It's not early, wash and sleep!" ”
He knew in his heart that he must have said something sensational that scared them.
"Good, good." Bao should be busy responding.
When the washing stopped, Mu Jincheng and Su Duchun were lying in the sun-smelling futon of Liang Mancang's house, the wooden bed in the countryside was not as soft as their own high bed, and they slept a little hard, and their bones hurt.
Mu Jincheng, who couldn't sleep, turned into a chatter at this moment, and caught Su Duchun talking endlessly.
The moon outside the window gradually moved westward, and the hazy moonlight sprinkled through the window lattice in front of the bed, and the light and shadow were uncertain.
"Little uncle, it's not early, go to sleep." Su Duchun really couldn't hold on, yawned heavily, and muttered.
Mu Jincheng stared out the window with blazing eyes: "Duchun, I have decided, as soon as I go back, I will learn kung fu from Xiong Yongnian, and in the future, I will have to rely on my own true skills, and I will not let Gu Qingzhu look down on me!" ”
"Hmm." Su Duchun muttered in her dream.
Mu Jincheng glanced at the person who was already asleep beside him, smiled, and began to close his eyes to recuperate, the mountains were quiet, and after a while, sleepiness came like a tide, bringing him into a warm dreamland.
Early the next morning, the sun rose in the east, the birds in the mountains contended, and the roosters in the village were not to be outdone, pulling their necks one by one and crowing happily, and a vigorous morning began again.
Mu Jincheng woke up, to be precise, he was woken up, in Ruihua Courtyard, he slept until he woke up naturally every time, no matter how early or late he got up, when he fell asleep, there would be no sound in the courtyard.
Sleepy-eyed, Mu Jincheng lay on the bed and listened, rustling Gu Qingzhu was sweeping the yard, and Gu Qingzhu was feeding the chickens.
Mu Jincheng got up, found a smoke-colored brocade robe and put it on, Baoying heard his footsteps and hurriedly came in to serve.
When he returned to Gu Qingzhu's house, he saw Gu Qingzhu taking a firewood knife and preparing to go out, he asked curiously, "What are you going to do?" ”
"Go to the bamboo garden to see if the animal trap cage catches the prey, since you are here, naturally you have to taste the wild game in the mountains." Gu Qingzhu said, picked up the bamboo basket in the courtyard and was about to leave.
When Mu Jincheng heard this, he was immediately interested, and said anxiously: "I'm going too!" ”
Gu Qingzhu couldn't cry or laugh a little: "Brother Shicai Kui, he invited you to dinner at home today, and did his best to fulfill the friendship of the landlord, so even if I catch wild meat, I will wait for you to eat together, what are you anxious about?" ”
"Why don't we wait for the late spring and go to see Zizhu together?" Mu Jincheng wanted to follow, so he came up with a way to delay.
"It's okay, I don't have to go on a special trip, and I'll go back after breakfast." Gu Qingzhu thought about it and nodded.
"I'm going to call Twilight!" Mu Jincheng walked away happily.
Poor Su Duchun was nagged by him for half the night yesterday, and now he was forced to pull him up again, yawning all the way, and returned to Gu Qingzhu's house.
Breakfast has been set up in the courtyard, red bean porridge, corn nest, and a few side dishes for dinner.
Gu Qingzhu's rice noodles are not as fine as the shogunate, but it is the true taste of food, which is very drunk and unappetizing Mu Jincheng likes it, the thin and viscous porridge melts in his mouth, he drank two bowls in a row, and a trace of sweat appeared on his sideburns, but it was extremely comfortable.
After breakfast, several people went to the bamboo garden together, the bamboo forest was lush, the dew drops rolling on the grass blades soon wet the corners of their skirts, the purple bamboo was in the depths of the bamboo garden, and the eyes were very large, and the unique purple shone in the sun.
Su Duchun liked it when he saw it, he walked around the purple bamboo bush, and exclaimed: "It's the first time to see such a good purple bamboo in Nancang County, you must have put a lot of effort into taking care of it." ”
"This is what my mother brought from the south, and it will be like this for more than ten years, you can see which one is good, just take it." Gu Qingzhu said generously.
Su Duchun and Mu Jincheng glanced at each other, thinking that at the beginning, she asked her for Zizhu, she was so hesitant, it turned out to be her mother's relic, this love is too rare.
After repeated comparisons, Su Duchun chose a purple bamboo, and Gu Qingzhu nodded: "Su Gongzi's vision is really good, this purple bamboo has been growing for four years, it is straight and straight, and it is a good material for finished materials." ”
"Well, I'll make a mark first, and I'll cut it when I'm gone." Su Duchun untied an indigo tassel around his waist and hung it on a bamboo branch.
Mu Jin built a pergola with his hands and looked up at the tall bamboo: "Twilight spring, you made Xiao, leave some branches for me to make hairpins." ”
"Uncle Xiao Yaxing, gold and silver flow in luxury, jade is too cold, but the bamboo hairpin is simple and calm, my father knows a bamboo carving master, we might as well beg him to do a few more, chant poems and paint, tread snow to find plums, the most suitable to wear this." Su Duchun said with interest.
"Okay." Mu Jincheng squinted his eyes and said.
Gu Qingzhu sighed slightly, the people in the mountains use bamboo strips and branches to make hairpins, which are poor, and they can only use local materials, and when they come to these two people, what kind of elegance is hung up, it is really incredible.
She turned around to check the beast trap cage, Mu Jincheng and Su Duchun's master and servant hurriedly followed, and looked through several places, all of which were empty, not only did there be no prey, but even the bait that had been placed in advance was gone, Gu Qingzhu had to put some more vegetable leaves and bud grains.
Fortunately, a cage hidden behind a large mountain rock held a multicolored wild rooster, which suddenly saw a person, and instinctively wanted to fly, but suddenly hit the top of the cage and fell down in embarrassment.
Gu Qingzhu reached out and grabbed the pheasant's wings, dragged it out of the cage, and pulled a few more thatches to tie its feet and wings firmly, and put them in the bamboo basket behind him.
Adding some bait to the cage, Gu Qingzhu walked around the tea garden, this season is the time to cut bamboo, it is time for the craftsmen in ten miles and eight towns to come out to buy bamboo, she has to prevent others from stealing her family's bamboo to sell.
Mu Jincheng didn't know what to do, he just followed Gu Qingzhu to look around, the wind shook the bamboo leaves, and the light of broken gold rippled, sprinkled down from the cracks, mottled the cloudiness on his face.
After looking around and seeing that there was nothing wrong, Gu Qingzhu took a few people back, and met Gu Erni who was digging wild vegetables on the way, and it was rare that she wore a dress with few patches, and her hair was neatly combed.
She didn't expect to meet Su Duchun again, her face was red for a while, she didn't know how to put her hands and feet, and she bowed in a panic.
Mu Jincheng glanced at her and said contemptuously: "The toad jumps on the weighing plate, do you know how many catties and taels you have?" It's just a matter of doing spring dreams, don't show a face, mad! ”
Gu Erni didn't say a word, but secretly clenched her fists, and suddenly reluctantly let go, she was just a village girl, what to fight with the richest noble son in Nancang County!
"Forget it, if it's not pleasing to the eye, you can ignore it, why bother talking about these things that are not on the stage!" Su Wanchun was thin-skinned, nudged Mu Jincheng, and whispered.
Mu Jincheng snorted from his nostrils, and deliberately raised his voice: "Duchun, don't you know, some people have thicker skin than the city wall, and if they don't expose it to their faces, they should be more likeable." ”
Gu Erni was so angry that she couldn't stay any longer, so she turned around and walked away.
Gu Qingzhu squinted at her back as she walked away, and secretly wondered that the animal trap in the bamboo garden seemed to be in a different place.
As soon as he returned home and sat down, a cup of hot water had not yet been drunk, Fang Kui came to the door for the second time, and humbly gave in a few times, and the four of Mu Jincheng and Su Duchun's master and servant went with Fang Kui.
Today's day is good, Fang Kui's family will pick fungus, mushrooms, peppers, peppers, chestnuts and other mountain goods picked in the mountains to dry, as long as there is sunshine, there are round small plaques, black, red, green, purple in the plaques, colorful, it is really a beautiful scenery.
In the mountain farmhouse, Mu Jincheng and Su Duchun are both coming for the first time, everything is fresh, and when they see someone they don't know, they have to ask Fang Kui for a lesson or two.
Mu Jincheng pinched a shiitake mushroom, leaned on the tip of his nose and smelled it, the aroma became more and more intense due to the heat of the sun, he raised his head and asked Fang Kui: "Do you sell your mountain goods?" ”
