Chapter XVIII: The Valley of the Born 1
"Do you want me to help you?" Jue Chen held his head with one hand and looked at Feng Wu, looking at this slow and logical appearance, this meal can be eaten until the evening.
"No, you don't."
"You haven't turned your temper yet?" Juechen summoned the ring again, held it in his hand, Feng Wu glanced at her, and shook off a chopstick.
"Ben...... This is how the king has spoken. ”
"What are you nervous about?" Jiechen picked up the chopsticks on the ground, "It's dirty, use mine?" ”
Juechen thought that he would more or less mind, but he didn't expect to take it and use it naturally.
"Third uncle, I just asked the guys in the store to make ginseng soup, can you drink some?" Gu Li shouted outside the door, probably with something in his hand, but he didn't knock on the door.
Feng Wu was about to speak, but Jiechen shook his head, paused, and Feng Wu answered him: "Come in." ”
"Third uncle, I bought this ginseng at a great price, ...... Oh, and the girls also drink some, not enough for the back kitchen! Gu Li put down the soup and grinned.
Feng Wu looked at the soup, his brows furrowed slightly, Jue Chen blocked his words, politely thanked Gu Li, and let them all go to eat.
Gu Li closed the door, Juechen scooped up the soup, looked at the things inside, and couldn't help laughing: "This kid from the Gu family has eaten a lot of good ginseng, but he doesn't know how to distinguish bad ginseng." ”
"There are too many good days, and I don't know the suffering of the world."
"This little boy is afraid that he has been protected since he was a child, and he doesn't know what is sinister in the world, and he is interested in selling ginseng." Jiechen scooped up a small half bowl of soup and left it to dry, "Fortunately, it's not real ginseng, you can still drink some, don't waste this old radish." ”
"He spent so much money on ginseng because he was thinking about you, so why bother to hit him?" Jiechen also scooped half a bowl for himself, "This soup is stewed well, and I put my heart into it." ”
"It's time for him to understand something."
"He will naturally understand more and more under your influence along the way, so why be in too much of a hurry?"
Feng Wu's nose sighed, Besides, isn't it also a kind of fear of not having enough time? It's not safe to stay in Fengjing, and it's even more sinister when you get outside, plus the things to do one after another this time, how can you have time for Gu Li to practice slowly? If you don't grow faster, how much more can you grow?
"If you don't follow the destiny of heaven, it is difficult to disobey the destiny of heaven."
"This is ......," the official said. Feng Wu didn't know this person, but he knew this sentence.
"Ouch! Guest, are you leaving? How many days don't you stay in a small shop? Guaranteed service! Feng Wu asked Gu Li to leave the room and walked downstairs, halfway in the center, the shopkeeper greeted him and nodded.
The shopkeeper knocked on the whole plate and peeked at this side, and the mouth under the beard secretly smiled, he naturally wouldn't do this kind of thing of soliciting customers and losing his identity, seeing that this little two dedicates himself diligently, he felt comfortable!
"Oops!" Feng Wu hadn't spoken yet, Gu Li hurriedly ran down the stairs across Feng Wu and dragged the shopkeeper to the side, and whispered in the ear of the shopkeeper: "Be quiet!" My third uncle doesn't like to be noisy. ”
"You're leaving?"
"Gone, gone! I'll come back to you when I have the chance! You take this ......" Gu Li took out a handful of things from his arms, took out one of them and gave it to the shopkeeper, and explained a few words to him.
Fengwu glimpsed that it was Yunlang's special family card, which was used to help those officials who only cared about the lives of the people and disregarded their own family background, and sometimes they also made gift cards to give during festivals, and there were newly opened shops that could not recognize Gu Li, and they could also take the family card to exchange things.
This card is divided into several grades, from gold and silver jewelry to firewood, rice, oil and salt. There are also two categories: one-time and timed - once you exchange something, you have to return the house card, and the timer is that you can take this card to exchange something every month.
Gu Li didn't forget to grab a family card before going out, this thing is not big, the one in Gu Li's hand, only Yunlang's shop is still there, it is enough for a lifetime.
After thinking about it, he secretly stuffed one to the shopkeeper while he was not paying attention to the fog.
But where is not to pay attention, Fengwu does not break him, how can he be in charge of everything.
Gu Li took out two horses from behind, hung the luggage on the saddle, handed one to Feng Wu, and the other rode by himself, and pulled He Gu on.
"It seems that I can only ride the same horse with Ah Lin?"
"Hmm." Feng Wu nodded, reaching out to carefully help her onto the horse, while he led her below.
"That'...... What about me? Xiang Yi looked at the four innocently, the two of them were in pairs, they were alone, and they were ...... If you don't make a sound, it seems that no one has noticed you......
"I forgot about you." Juechen thought for a while, "You can go with the third master." ”
"Huh? This...... Well......"
Feng Wu walked, Gu Li was not embarrassed to ride a horse, and climbed down by himself, not to mention He Gu, he was alone, how could he sit at ease?
Sitting alone, he also felt unintentional, so he dismounted and walked.
A group of five people, leading two horses, walked on a winding hillside path. Although it is a hillside, it is generally flat. The trees are tall and shady, and the trunks are crawling with sparse vines, and the leaves are not very dense, and there is a little sunlight shining on the weeds and wildflowers on the ground that are no more than knee-high, so a vibrant scene!
Gu Li had been writhing all the way down the hillside to this point, and he seemed to be uncomfortable.
In fact, it's not a big deal, it's just that I'm tired, and it's not good to run to the horse by myself in front of so many people, and I'm uncomfortable.
Feng Wu knew that he was tired, and deliberately did not rest along the way to grind his heart. Even a person like He Gu, who looked weak and couldn't help the wind, could walk peacefully for so long, only Gu Li, like a crawling worm all over his body.
"Take a break." Feng Wu spoke, Gu Li had no image to speak of, and directly sat on the grass, leaned back, and collapsed on the ground.
Xiang Yi made fun of him for being "weak and can't help the wind", and he didn't have the temperament of a dignified man.
Gu Li didn't even look at him, he didn't have time to take care of him at this time, it was important to rest, and it was not too late to clean him up after resting!
Xiang Yi was bored with himself, seeing that He Gu was sick, it was not easy to pull him along, so he said hello to Jiechen and ran to the surrounding area to play.
"Whatever?"
"No matter what, it's good to solve the problem yourself, and if you can't solve it, you will find it back."
Feng Wu looked at Xiang Yi who was jumping and running away, thinking that maybe he really cared too much about Gu Li, but he restrained him.
"Gu Fengyi, you're too weak—" Xiang Yi shouted as he ran away, and his voice floated throughout the mountains and forests.
Gu Li felt insulted, and a carp jumped up, and chased after him without saying a word, full of competitiveness.
He Gu sat on the side and held the fan that Fengwu snatched from He Yu's hand that day, studied it by himself, pinched and calculated, and wrote and painted on the ground, obsessed.
"Ah Lin feels uncomfortable?"
Fengwu gritted his teeth and shook his head in denial.
Jue Chen took out a silk scarf to wipe the sweat beads on his forehead for him, and touched the protruding teeth: "Ah Lin doesn't have to hide it from me, it's really distressing to watch." ”
Of course you can see it! This Gu worm has been churning for a day, how can Rao is Fengwu endure it, and he can't control the pain, he gritted his teeth and endured it without making a sound, and the sweat has already soaked through his clothes. I woke up today because this Gu worm can't stop.
"Close your eyes and rest for a while, I'll keep watch."
"Okay." Toyo Mist leaned back against a leaning stone, in just the right position.
I can't sleep even if I close my eyes, feeling the Gu worms scurrying around, as if gnawing at myself little by little. Crawling around, the body is extremely itchy, and it is like a hot one, sometimes it is cold, and occasionally it is like a sharp blade penetrating the chest, and it is slashed alive......
All kinds of flavors were mixed, and in the end, even Fengwu himself couldn't tell what it was like, only uncomfortable.
Fengwu was half-lying on the stone, crossed in front of his abdomen, frowning slightly, quietly "enjoying" the pain. The slanting sun shone on his upper body, and the sweat reflected a little in the sunlight.
"Third uncle!" I don't know how long I lay down, when I opened my eyes, there was only a ray of sunlight left in the sky, Gu Li happily ran back, holding a bunch of fist-sized red fruits in his arms, and took a bite on his mouth, and spoke vaguely, "Third uncle, this fruit is delicious, you can taste it!" ”
There were still a few red leaves attached to the fruit, and Feng Wu picked one up and looked at it, and his face changed a little.
"How much did you eat?"
"Three...... This is the fourth ......" Feng Wu shot extremely fast and grabbed Gu Li's throat, Gu Li was startled, the fruit fell to the ground, and he stared at Feng Wu, I don't know what was wrong.
"Spit it out!" Feng Wu ordered him, Gu Li spit out the unchewed stuff in his mouth, retched a few times, what he had eaten before had already reached his stomach, where could he vomit if he wanted to?
Feng Wu turned Gu Li over, grabbed his abdomen with one hand, grabbed his throat with the other, and forced him with the strength of his hand and luck, and it felt almost the same, before letting go of Gu Li.
Gu Li covered his mouth and forcibly ran to the edge of a tree a little farther away and vomited, the bile was about to spit out, his eyes were protruding, his eyes were red, and tears flowed out one by one.
After spitting it clean, he clutched his throat and walked back alive.
He Gu listened to the movement here, ran over to take a look at the fruit, and went to help Gu Li again.
Feng Wu picked up a fruit and looked at it carefully, and when he got closer and smelled it, there was indeed a sweet smell in his nose.
Jiechen stretched out his hand, and Fengwu handed her the fruit, the same action, but the expression was more solemn.
"Third and third uncles, what's wrong?"
"Do you recognize this tree?" Feng Wu held a leaf between his fingers and put it in front of Gu Li's eyes.
Gu Li was puzzled: "Jade Red Tree, isn't it......?" ”
"Yes. What else? ”
"And?" Gu Li touched his stomach and smoothed it a few times, but he still didn't understand.
He Gu looked at it and explained, "Feng Yi, this tree ...... To no avail......"
"This book is fruitless?" Gu Li turned his head to look at him and asked He Gu, "What do you mean?" ”
"It means...... Such trees are unfruitful. ”
"Huh?!" Gu Li exclaimed, "No wonder I never saw the fruit of this tree when I was in Fengjing, I thought!" I thought it was Fengjing Dibei, and I couldn't give birth to this fruit! ”
"This tree can survive everywhere, but it is planted less, and if it does not bear fruit in one place, it will not bear fruit in other places."
"That'...... Third Uncle...... So what's the matter with this fruit? ”
"Blindfolding."
"Tricks? How does the fruit obscure the eye? ”
"Want to know?" Feng Wu asked Gu Li.
Looking at the expression of the prince, Gu Li also had a little drum in his heart, and couldn't help but be curious, and replied, "I want to ......"
"Okay." Feng Wu tossed the fruit, Gu Li's eyes also looked up and down, and when the fruit was thrown at the stone, it burst open, and the outer skin turned into a black and swarthy thing, the inside was still red, like a pool of blood, and what flowed out in the middle was a white thing, sticky, and a fishy smell permeated......
"Hmm......"
"Oops, Feng Yi Feng Yi ......."
"Vomit-" Gu Li hurriedly ran away, and after only two steps, he couldn't help but vomit again, and when he remembered that he had eaten so many of these things...... "vomit......
