Chapter 61: On Laojun Mountain

"Listen, it seems to be Mrs. Ma's rogue son, let's go." Liang Mancang stood up and said.

"It's okay, I don't think he has the guts to do bad things." Gu Qingzhu patted the flour on his apron and walked out.

"Ergouzi, what's the matter with you at night?" Gu Qingzhu called Rhubarb and walked to the gate of the courtyard together.

"My wife is angry with you, what do you say." The two dogs with thin hair and long horses stood at the door with their waists crossed and said with their necks crossed.

He was dressed in dirty clothes and trousers, so gray that he could not distinguish his original color, and seemed to shake off a liter of dust from head to toe when he moved.

"At noon, I saw that she was still energetic and pushed my grandma to the ground, and she couldn't stand still, is she sick at this time?" Gu Qingzhu said softly and slowly.

"She's old, even I let her, why are you slandering her, now she's looking for death and life like a madman!" Ergou Zigu stared at a pair of bulging goldfish eyes, and said with spit splashing.

"On filial piety, you are her son, let her be what she deserves, as for the affairs of the Da Mao family, am I talking nonsense, do you really have no points in your heart? Who in the village doesn't know that it was your mother who instigated it and ruined the happy life of others, what are you pretending to do! Gu Qingzhu touched the hair on the rhubarb's back and calmed it that was restless and wanted to pounce.

"You...... Don't talk nonsense, take a tael of silver, I'll take her to the big hospital in Nancang County tomorrow to see a mad disease! The second dog was so unable to answer that she said, so he tore his face and shouted with his hands dancing and shouting.

But he looked at Rhubarb, who was sitting on the ground and stuck out his tongue at him, and was afraid in his heart, and unconsciously took a step back.

"So you're here to extort money." Gu Qingzhu didn't laugh angrily, "It's a pity that I found the wrong person!" ”

"If you don't want to give it, I'll ...... I ......" The second dog rolled up his sleeves, but he was afraid of the rhubarb, and only waved his arms like dry wood and called.

"What do you want?" A swarthy and burly man dressed in black, walking in the dark night, his voice as chilling as his own.

"Ahhh......h You guys...... In the middle of the night, the third watch ......" The second dog seemed to have grasped some great handle, and looked at the man who came out in surprise, and he naturally recognized it as Liang Mancang at a glance.

"Qingzhu is helping me prepare dry food for tomorrow's logging, what are you barking at here, delaying my business, can you afford it!" Liang Mancang's big hand like iron tongs lifted the two dogs like a little chicken at once.

His feet instantly lifted off the ground, and he screamed in fright: "You madman, let me go!"

"Did Qingzhu slander your mother?" Liang Mancang forcibly pressed the left side of his face against the wild rose bush on the fence wall.

"Ahh The second dog was caught off guard and immediately screamed like a pig.

The fine thorns on the branches of the wild rose pierced into his filthy face, and the wounds, though small, were crisscrossed and criss-crossed, and half of his face suddenly became a bleeding honeycomb.

"Don't you say it yet?" Liang Mancang twisted his neck and changed his right cheek to Rose.

"No, no, no! She didn't slander my mother! The second dog desperately pressed against the fence wall and wailed.

"Why did you take the opportunity to blackmail Qingzhu?" Liang Mancang's hand moved, and the resistance of the second dog was almost vulnerable, and the whole person pounced on the rose thorn, and his eyes were almost pierced by the thorn, so frightened that he almost peed his pants.

"It's not me, I don't want to, woo woo!" The second dog finally couldn't hold back his fear, and his snot and tears flowed.

"Huh, you don't want to? Who's going to think, your mother? Liang Mancang asked contemptuously.

"No, no, no, yes...... It's Zhu, her second aunt! The second dog was frightened, and said in a hurry, "I didn't want to come, but she instigated my mother, saying that I can't even cure a little girl, and the mother and son will be looked down upon by others, and they will be deflated in the village in the future." ”

"What kind of neighbors are you, pranking each other!" Liang Mancang let go of his hand and pushed him out.

Kicking and kicking, the second dog took a few steps back before he stopped, his hands were full of rose thorns, and he was in pain, but he didn't dare to go.

"Get out! Go back and tell your mother, if I hear the rumors on the side again, it won't be as polite as today! Liang Mancang said in a deep voice.

Ergouzi peeked at Liang Mancang, who was full of frost, and trembled in his heart, this man looked honest and honest during the day, and everyone could be bullied, but this son looked like a hell Yama, he really killed people, and this breath alone made people shudder.

Seeing the second dog running away in a panic, Liang Mancang turned back to Gu Qingzhu and said, "I didn't scare you." ”

"No, it's just a pity for my fence wall." Gu Qingzhu took advantage of the not-so-bright moonlight to see that the wild rose had broken off a lot of tender heads, and there were still a lot of leaves scattered on the ground.

Liang Mancang didn't expect Gu Qingzhu to be so bold, he couldn't help but smile at the corners of his mouth, the Flying Eagle Battalion specializes in pioneering, espionage, assassination, and interception of intelligence, this method of extorting confessions is just a piece of cake for him, and it is enough to deal with a scoundrel like Ergouzi who pretends to bluff.

Early in the morning of the second day, Gu Qingzhu filled the bamboo basket with nests, pickles, water bladders, wound medicines, etc., and entrusted Qingying and the silkworm to the care of the Qin family, so she and Liang Mancang set off to Laojun Mountain together.

Laojun Mountain is the highest peak of the Taihua Mountains, it is the inaccessible deep mountain old forest, out of Gujiaao, all the way to the east, walk for half an hour, and arrive at the foot of the mountain, the other road is from the Jiguanzi Mountain, it will be closer, and it can go straight to the halfway up the mountain, but the entrance of Gujiaao is narrow and steep, and it is difficult to pass with long and heavy trees, so Liang Mancang decided to climb up from the foot of the mountain.

At this time, it was late spring, the birds in the forest were chirping, turning and listening, the trees and vines were growing wildly, and the branches and branches covered the mountain road, Zheng Changlin and Gu Qingshui were holding machetes in front of them to open the way, Gu Qingzhu and Gu Shifu were walking in the middle, and Liang Mancang was holding a bow and arrow in the back to prevent the disturbed beasts from suddenly jumping out and hurting people.

The more you go up, the deeper the mountain forest becomes, the trees are tall and stout, the hares and deer are rushing one after another, and halfway up the mountainside, the big trees in the forest are towering, the branches are luxuriant, covering the sky and the sun, the sunlight can only pass through the gaps in the leaves, scattering mottled light and shadow, which is much darker than the outside, and at the same time, because the heat of the steaming leaves on the ground is not easy to disperse, it also seems a little stuffy.

"Here it is." Gu Shifu looked around and patted the tall elm trees beside him.

This is a wide elm forest, the big one is hugged by two people, the more are thick bowls, and some are as small as fingers, and a few trees are cut down here at intervals, which does not affect the growth of the whole forest.

"Elm trees are good for house beams, and there is surplus grain!" Gu Shigen echoed with a smile.

Everyone was happy when he said it, so they decided to be here, the birds and birds in the forest were disturbed, and they all flew away, a few people dispersed, to find suitable trees, Gu Qingzhu put down the back basket, tied a bamboo cage around his waist, took a sickle, and climbed to a high place, where there are a few lush pine trees, maybe there will be some harvest.

The slope of the hill was steep, the vines were stumbling, and every step had to be cleared with a sickle, and it took only half an hour to climb it.

Gu Qingzhu picked a damp place in the shade to look for it, but she didn't find anything, she didn't give up, continued to look down, and finally found a cluster of dendrobium with four or five stems and leaves on the branches of a big pine tree, and there was also a flower arrow decorated with small flower buds that had just emerged.

Gu Qingzhu was overjoyed, she picked three of the stout ones, carefully cut them with scissors, and put them in the bamboo cage around her waist.

With this discovery, Gu Qingzhu searched more carefully, and inadvertently, she had turned to the shade of a big mountain stone, and in her eyes, there were seven or eight dendrobium trees growing in the gravel, but it was too small, in order to ensure the efficacy of the medicine, she only picked a few three-year-old stems.

There are so many small ones here, there must be a mother plant nearby, she looked up, and saw a large pine tree hugging one person behind the rocks, the outstretched branches were growing above the rocks, where a large cluster of dendrobium hung down, the intertwined roots were tightly attached to the tree, the thick stems were full and plump, and the staggered leaves were green and pleasant.

Gu Qingzhu, who was very happy, climbed over the mountain rocks with his hands and feet, but the dendrobium bushes could be seen, but he couldn't reach them, if he wanted to climb the tree to pick, he was afraid that the woody and crunchy pine branches would not be able to withstand the weight of people.

It seems that this cluster of dendrobium grows well, not only because of the essence of the sun and the moon and the wind, frost, rain and snow, but also because of its good location, even if the pickers can see it, they do not dare to risk going up to the tree to pick, at most they use branches to knock a few stems down, in this process, there are roots that fall down, therefore, a few trees can grow in the gravel.

Dendrobium is in front of him, if Gu Qingzhu is asked to give up at this time, it will be impossible.

She untied the bamboo cage and put it in the grass under the tree, bent down and tightened her shoes.

The pine bark is thick and thick, and it is easy to grasp and step on the feet, although Gu Qingzhu is tall, she is very thin, she is prostrate on the branches, trying her best to stretch out her arms to reach, but she is always a little bit away from the dendrobium.

She gritted her teeth and moved forward a few more minutes, only to hear a slight clicking sound from the pine branch, which frightened her to hurriedly hug the trunk, and for a while, cold sweat rolled out, and she couldn't help but wet her underwear.

At this time, as long as you stretch out your hand, Dendrobium will be won, but the branch is afraid that it will not be able to bear her weight, but if she stops and retreats from the tree, Gu Qingzhu is also very reluctant.

After a while, the mountain wind blew the sweat on her forehead, and the branches did not make a sound, she finally gritted her teeth and chose to reach out, grabbed a few stems and leaves, and forcefully took it into her arms, and a large cluster of dendrobium quickly broke away from the mother plant and rippled on her fingertips.

Because of her force, the branch made a crisp sound again, Gu Qingzhu quickly shrunk back, withdrew from the overwhelmed branch, and stood on the main branch like a dexterous cat, for a long time, still palpitating, and she was still holding the cluster of dendrobium tightly in her hand.

After a few ripples back and forth, the branch returned to its original state, and there was no trace of it being broken, even so, Gu Qingzhu did not dare to move forward, besides, that cluster of dendrobium could cut a dozen or so roots, and the harvest was still very large.

Gu Qingzhu slowly slid down the tree, picked out the thick and mature stems and cut them, and then planted the whole Dendrobium in the thin soil under the gravel, Dendrobium is a species with tenacious vitality, the cracks in the rocks, and the thick skin of the trees can keep them alive.

Going around and around, Gu Qingzhu found a few more places in the forest, although it was not as good as the dendrobium on the pine tree, but she could cut a few of them, and saw that the bamboo cage on her waist was about to be full.

"Bang" There was a dull sound of a heavy object crashing to the ground under the mountain.

Gu Qingzhu leaned over and saw that Zheng Changlin and the others had cut down a small tree, in order to facilitate the transportation when leaving, the head of the tree fell in the direction of the mountain, and the place where the lush canopy fell, stirred up dust everywhere, and flew straight into the sky, gray and gray.

She suddenly caught a glimpse of the forest, and there were four black shadows faintly coming this way, Gu Qingzhu wiped her eyes vigorously in disbelief, and when she looked carefully, it was really four people, where did they come from in this wilderness? It's still in time for logging!
