Chapter Twenty-Three: The Wounded in the Mountains

Liu Shi was on fire, picked up the child, slapped it twice on the buttocks, and said, "What to eat?" Where does the meat come from? Do you want the old lady to cut the flesh on your body for you to eat? ”

"Your meat stinks, it's not tasty! I want to eat fragrant meat!! Xiao Zhuang didn't eat meat, and was beaten twice, and immediately cried, scratching Liu while crying, "I want to be a grandson of the fifth grandfather, I want to eat meat!" ”

When Liu heard this, he raised his slap high, but when he saw his son's wrinkled little face, he was reluctant to fall for a long time. At a glance, he saw Da Zhuang stuffing bread into his mouth with his head stuffed, and transferred his anger to him: "Da Zhuang, did you teach this?" Your brother is so young, what do you know? You must have taught him badly!! ”

After speaking, he stretched out his hand to grab Da Zhuang. Da Zhuang drank the last mouthful of porridge, wiped his mouth, and neatly avoided her hand, crying out in his mouth: "Mother, what is Xiao Zhuang doing to me?" You blame me for everything! Am I your son? ”

"It's not my son, I would have thrown you into a urine bucket and drowned!! Leave you, a debt collector, angry with me!! Liu picked up a stick and picked up people all over the yard. Suddenly, Xiao Zhuang's crying, Da Zhuang's shouting, and Liu's scolding were intertwined, and the whole yard was full of chickens and dogs, so lively.

Gu Qiao threw his chopsticks angrily and yelled, "Don't let people eat?!" The courtyard fell silent for a moment. These days, Gu Qiao is in a bad mood and has a very violent temper. Even Xiao Zhuang was afraid of him.

A fire arched up and down in his heart, Gu Qiao had nowhere to vent, stood up and kicked over the bench, and walked outside with heavy steps.

The people in the village talked about him behind his back and kicked out the God of Wealth who came home. After seeing Gu Xiao "buy" a horse and entertain the people who helped build the house with a sumptuous meal, he felt aggrieved. If it weren't for the old guy pretending to be a beggar and deceiving him, all this silver should have been his!!

Before I knew it, I was halfway up the mountain. Gu Xiao's house had already been built, and the tall stone courtyard wall blocked his vision, and the laughter and laughter from inside were so far away from him.

The youngest grandson of the village chief's family, holding a chicken leg in his hand, tried hard several times, but failed to cross the threshold, and his little face wrinkled in a hurry. His son appeared inside the door and carried the little one over the threshold. The little one sat on the threshold, nibbled on the chicken leg in his hand, and laughed like a fool.

If, in the matter of succession, he did not let his eldest son replace him, the one who sat in it to entertain the guests should be him. This little boy who gnawed on chicken legs should be the little son in his family who was crying for meat. Thinking like this, Gu Qiao's heart became even more uncomfortable, and the steps of leaving were extremely heavy.

As soon as Gu Ming raised her head and saw the back of her father leaving, she frowned slightly, and soon regained her composure. It was he who gave up himself and his sister, and returned to the road and the bridge in the future, and lived his own life.

Gu Xiao's meal was eaten until the willow tops on the moon. The village aunts stayed until the end and helped clean up before going home.

Gu Xiao touched his grandchildren's little heads and said with a smile: "It will be a few more days, and when the house is ready, our grandfather will move over." ”

Aunt Jiu came over at this time and said, "Let Ming'er and Ye'er come to my house to live in the next few days." Just now Li'er came over and said that the Liu family had made a fuss again this evening. I'm afraid that the two children will go back, and the Liu family will be angry with them. ”

Gu Xiao drank a lot of glutinous rice wine brought by the village chief, and at this time, the wine came up, waved a powerful fist, and snorted: "I see who dares to make my grandchildren angry!" ”

After speaking, he led Gu Ming's brothers and sisters down the hill and went straight to Gu Qiao's house. Kicking open the hidden door, his bell-like voice resounded in the courtyard: "Gu Qiao! You come out for me!! My grandchildren will stay in your house for a few more days, and you will have to treat them well! If I let Lao Tzu know who treated them poorly, hum!! With that, he clenched his fist and slammed it into the earthen wall next to him, leaving a large hole in it.

Liu's exclamation disappeared from Gu Xiao's sharp sight. Although she felt sorry for her house, she didn't dare to build it. Because, she knew it was a warning to her. The old man must have heard how she used to treat her brother and sister and help her newly-baked grandchildren find a place!

After this deterrence, the life of the Gu Ming brothers and sisters in the Gu family was much better. The Liu family learned to be obedient, but the brother and sister did not exist. Anyway, these two cubs only slept in the Westinghouse, and the rest of the time they either went up the mountain to collect firewood, or worked in the new house, and the food was not eaten at the Gu family, so she didn't have a chance to find fault with it.

"Grandpa, brother, I'm up the mountain!" The herbs that Gu Ye picked last time, because she couldn't explain when she learned to identify herbs, there was no way to take them out and exchange them for silver, so she could only put them into the space.

However, there are many kinds of herbs in the mountains, which she does not have in the space, and has only seen them in the ancient herbal illustrated book. These are all silver for nothing, how can Gu Ye be willing to give up? Fortunately, now her brother doesn't care about her so tightly, and he no longer follows her step by step.

Gu Ming was helping her grandfather clean up the yard, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but admonish: "Don't go too far!" Don't get tired! With Sister Li and Aunt Ying, don't get separated......"

"Got it!" Gu Ye fled in the midst of his brother's nagging. After going out, she turned directly into the back mountain. In order to save time, she took the "acceleration potion", and her two little short legs ran all the way on the uneven mountain road as if they were equipped with a motor.

The hidden guard behind her who was responsible for protecting her carried the light skills to the extreme, so that she could barely lose people. The more she followed, the more frightened she became: the little girl that the master took a fancy to was really extraordinary, not only with great strength, but also with good light skills!

However, how did this little girl from a peasant family practice this light skill of flying on the grass? No, you have to report this suspicion to the master. A carrier pigeon flew out of the deep mountains of Cangmang Mountain, flew out of the Eastern Spirit Kingdom, and flew into a majestic courtyard in the capital of the Yan Kingdom.

A big fair-skinned and slender hand took down the note from the carrier pigeon, and when he saw the news about Gu Ye, Ling Juechen's handsome face without any flaws, like frost melting, ice and snow thawing, instantly warmed upβ€”this little girl had abused her strange potions again.

On a piece of paper, there were only a few dozen words, and Ling Juechen turned it over and read it many times. Yin Kui, one of the four hidden guards beside him, was very curious in his heart, what kind of news made the master pay so much attention.

Ling Juechen replied to the hidden lug, telling him to just protect it, and no matter what else he saw, he pretended not to see it. And warned him to be careful not to show his tracks.

"Kui, what the deity handed over to Mei, how did he finish?" Tapping his fingers on the table a few times, Ling Jiechen asked Yin Kui, who was standing silently behind him.

"Back to the temple, Mei has been leaving with the Medicine Saint for many days, and he should have arrived in the territory of the Eastern Spirit Kingdom at this time." Yin Kui's Zhou Zheng's face was expressionless, as if he was wearing a mask.

"Hmm!" A cold light flashed in Ling Juechen's eyes, and his plump lips pursed into a line, "Send the Medicine Saint to it, and it will make the Hidden Soul and the Hidden Charm quickly turn back." The second prince can't hold it anymore......"

"Yes!" The poker face of the hidden leader is still the same.

"It seems...... It is necessary to add fuel to the fire to him and make things ferment faster! Ling Juechen's heart was on the thin figure in the distance, and he lost his interest in playing with cats and mice. The second prince has been jumping happily recently, but I don't know how long he can jump.

At this time, the little girl he was thinking about was picking up the gift of the mountain. Her small basket has been covered with various herbs.

"Oops...... Hey...... "When Gu Ye was squatting down to dig a wild gastrodia, he heard a groan. A groan was heard. Could it be that some villagers strayed into the depths of the mountains and forests and were bitten by wild beasts?

She didn't care about the gastrodia anymore, and followed the direction from which the voice came. After walking about two or three miles of mountain road, in a forest of stones, I found a mountain road leaning against the stones and moaning loudly. Moan's wounded.

It was a strange old man, with gray hair and beard, but not many wrinkles on his face. The clothes on his body were very particular, and there was a medicine basket in his hand at a crooked angle, and several newly picked medicinal herbs were scattered all over the ground. He was hugging his ankles, oops.

Hearing the movement, the old man opened his eyes, his face showed pain, and he cried out weakly, "Help...... Help......"

Gu Ye frowned, her intuition told her that something was wrong. There is definitely something wrong with an old man who is over the age of sixteen to appear alone in the deep mountains where wild beasts are rampant!

"Little girl, the old man's foot is sprained, come and help me!" Seeing that the little girl stopped not far away, her face was full of suspicion and vigilance, and a trace of interest flashed in the eyes of the medicine saint. It seems that the apprentice that the Hidden Soul Hall Venerable found for him is really extraordinary!

Gu Ye was unmoved, pointed to his medicine basket and said, "Aren't you a doctor?" Just a sprained ankle and need help from someone else? ”

"Who said that all the people who collect medicine are doctors? Can't the old man be a medicine farmer who goes up to the mountains to collect medicine for a living? The Medicine Saint sat on the cold and hard rock, the cold air bubbling from the cracks of his bones, and there was a slight impatience in his tone.

"When a medicine farmer goes into the mountains to collect medicine, will he be willing to wear a few taels of silver?" Gu Ye clasped his hands in front of his chest, "You can't even fool a child with this kind of rhetoric!" ”

"Healers don't heal themselves! Besides, I'm a pharmacist, not a doctor! "Yao Sheng is angry and funny, this girl looks like a little ghost, and she is quite angry with him.

"Pharmacist? Will you make a pharmaceutical? Gu Ye's eyes lit up, he took a few steps forward, and smelled a strong medicinal fragrance from him. Looking at his hands again, the joints were thick, and the texture on his hands was full of medicinal colors that could not be washed off, and he believed a little in his heart.

"Why not? If you want to talk about the ability of pharmaceuticals, the old man recognizes the second, and no one dares to call it the first! With a look of arrogance on the medicine saint's face, he glanced at the medicinal herbs in the little girl's back basket and said, "Yo! I also recognize a few herbs, not bad! If you save me back, the old man will take you as an apprentice. What do you think? ”
