Gu Yunyao smiled and said nothing, ran to the pond to dig up the stone calamus, the stone calamus by the water was large, swept his eyes, and dug it out, not to mention that it could produce thirty or forty catties of medicinal materials.

As the name suggests, Hekou Village is a village built at the mouth of the river, and there is a smooth stone slope between this pond and the Changqing River, and every time it rains, the Changqing River rises, and the water overflows through the stone slope and flows into the pond.

Not only there is a stone iris on the shore of the pond, but there are also reeds in the pond, the useful part of the stone iris is only the roots, the reeds are full of treasures, and the reed leaves, reed flowers, reed stems, reed roots, and asparagus can all be used in medicine.

Only the roots of the stone iris remained, Gu Yunyao directly cut off the stems and leaves, washed the rhizomes in water and dried them on the stones used by the women in the village on the side to wash clothes, and when they were dry, they were thrown into the back basket.

The sky is still cloudy, and no one has gone to the vicinity of the pond to wash today, Gu Yunyao glanced twice, the original owner seems to have died near here, but the heavy rain washed away last night, and there are no clues for her to discover. However, the voice of the murderous woman is familiar and unfamiliar, it must be an acquaintance, wait and ask Gu Chuanzhao.

Gu Yunyao made up her mind in her heart, she was very skilled in digging medicine, and soon dug six or seven catties, loaded a small half of the back basket, and her body was also very weak, and after digging for a while, Gu Yunyao was sweating.

Over there, Gu Chuanzhao had already gotten off the tree and began to tie up the wicker, and Gu Yunyao also got up, but in an instant, a flash of light flew across Gu Yunyao's face, Gu Yunyao followed the feeling and looked over, and saw that there was a bracelet-like object not far away on the shore that was mostly buried in the mud.

Gu Yunyao frowned slightly, she remembered that she was pressed into the water, and she had hooked a metal object during the struggle, the Zhuang family was poor, and they were reluctant to throw away even the bowl if it was missing, if someone lost the bracelet, it would be a big deal, how could the bracelet be allowed to fall here?

Thirty seconds of drowning in the water after a person is knocked unconscious is enough to suffocate to death, Gu Chuanhai picked himself up before he drowned, the time before and after is tense, could it be that this bracelet was left by the murderer? !

Stepping forward quickly, Gu Yunyao pulled the bracelet out of the mud, the silver bracelet, it looked a little old, it was slightly blackened, the outer ring of the bracelet was auspicious cloud pattern, and the inner circle was engraved with dense small characters, because it had been stuck in the mud, the words on it were pasted with mud, Gu Yunyao hurriedly went to the water to wash the mud.

Gu Chuanhai made a ledger because of his literacy, earning the highest salary in the Gu family, Gu Chuanhai, who is a good friend of a large family, feels the benefits of reading, and which of the female dependents of a large family is not proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so Gu Yunyao has taught her to read since she was two years old, not asking Gu Yunyao to be talented, but asking her daughter to be knowledgeable.

Under the mud and sand, Gu Yunyao fixed his eyes and saw that the small characters in the inner circle were actually Heart Sutras. The original owner of this bracelet is a believer!

couldn't help but look at Gu Chuanzhao not far away, Gu Yunyao blinked, no one in the Gu family believes in Buddhism, even if it is, at most it is to go to the temple to burn incense, ancient times are not better than modern times, jewelry is all handmade by craftsmen, the inner circle of this bracelet is engraved by the hand of a skilled craftsman, this is more expensive than ordinary silver bracelets, in the eyes of the Gu family, this is purely a waste of money, and it will never be bought.

Gu Chuanzhao had already tied up the wicker, beckoned to Gu Yunyao, and shouted, "Yao girl, it's time for us to go home!" ”

Gu Yunyao got up and put the bracelet in his arms, "Forget it, just take it as God's compensation for me to cross." "This bracelet is pure silver, weighing, weighing, about one or two, to the pawnshop pawn sale, let alone a tael of silver.

Two bundles of wicker, Gu Yunyao carried a small bundle, Gu Chuanzhao carried a large bundle, Gu Chuanzhao glanced at Gu Yunyao's back basket, the faint smell of stone iris was escaping, for this thing can repel mosquitoes, Gu Chuanzhao only thought that it was an adult who said it to deceive the child, and was listened to by the niece, and did not question it, and when the niece found out that this thing was useless, she would not dig it again.

As he walked, Gu Yunyao began to pant because of his weakness, Gu Chuanzhao slowed down, and looked at Gu Yunyao with a little heartache. "Wait for the fifth uncle to ask your grandmother for a cart, and then the two of us will go to chop bamboo."

"Hmm." Gu Yunyao nodded, but immediately shook her head again. "Fifth uncle, these wickers are enough for my father to weave for two days, the sky is cloudy, I'm afraid it will rain, it is easy to roll up the mountain after the rain, I will help my father make willow weaving at home in the afternoon, and we will cut the bamboo another day."

"That's fine, or your grandma will have to worry about it." Gu Chuanzhao originally wanted to carry Gu Yunyao's bundle on his back, but if anyone saw it, it would reach Meng's ears, and Gu Yunyao would inevitably reprimand or even scold.

When the uncle and nephew walked halfway, they saw that the Wang family was unhappy and led Gu Xiu'er and Gu Lian'er sisters to the meadow at the foot of the mountain, each carrying a basket one by one, which was sent out by the Meng family to dig wild vegetables.

Wang's two arms were a little stiff, swollen and thick, and there was a purple mark on the wrist that leaked out, Gu Yunyao hissed and took a breath of cold air, this Meng Shi is really ruthless enough, and it is yin enough, so he will attack the place that can't leak. The two daughters in the big house were also crying and red-eyed, the Wang family was not clean, and the two girls were also sloppy, and the clothes on their bodies were slightly reflective.

The Wang family couldn't wait to stab Gu Yunyao to death with an eye knife, it was Gu Yunyao's loss of money and lack of work that caused her to be beaten, and she didn't have breakfast for so many days!

Gu Yunyao didn't care about her, and leaned closer to Gu Chuanzhao's side, so as not to make trouble for the Wang family.

When Wang saw Gu Chuanzhao, he muttered even more quietly: "Little white face!" Relying on the partiality of the two old immortals, you don't work when you are young, but you never eat and drink a lot at home. also crawled inside and outside with his elbows turned out, Gu Chuanhai was the life of a slave to the Gu family, you actually followed Gu Chuanhai to read and write, do you think that you can read like your third brother if you are literate? Get rid of the life of the mud legs? Dream your big spring and autumn dreams! ”

Wang's voice was very low, but the wind was blowing towards Gu Chuanzhao and Gu Yunyao, and the two of them still heard it, Gu Chuanzhao didn't say anything on his face, but his brows couldn't help frowning.

Moreover, the rancid smell on the three mothers and daughters of the Wang family was so bad that Gu Chuanzhao and Gu Yunyao pinched their noses fiercely, the taste was more disgusting than the porridge mixed with pig food in the morning, and both of them accelerated their steps.

The two groups of people missed a long way before Gu Chuanzhao and Gu Yunyao let go of their noses and gasped for breath.

When she was about to arrive at the door, Gu Yunyao's eyes rolled, thinking about Wang's words, and said to Gu Chuanzhao: "Fifth uncle, doesn't the uncle also make willow weaving?" The eldest brother in the family is about to get married, and it is the time to use the money. ”

Gu Chuanzhao's mind is so good, looking at Gu Yunyao, he immediately understood what Gu Yunyao meant, his niece is trying to regulate the Wang family!

And the Wang family is the eldest brother's daughter-in-law, and the Wang family said this, but it is difficult to guarantee that it is not what the eldest brother thinks on weekdays, Gu Chuanzhao nodded, and he was also angry about Wang's words. "After I go back, the fifth uncle will also send some wicker to your uncle."

When they arrived at the door of the house, Meng was feeding the chickens in the backyard, Gu Chuanzhao and Gu Yunyao saw that no one was in the front yard, so they hurriedly sent the willow branches into the fourth room, and Gu Chuanhai was relieved to see that the two came back safely.

"Fifth brother, I'm sorry for you." Gu Chuanhai glanced at two bundles of wicker, one large and one small, Gu Chuanzhao smiled: "What's the trouble, Yao girl can do it, fourth brother, you are busy, I'll send a bundle of wicker to the eldest brother." ”

Gu Chuanzhao mentioned the small bundle of wicker and went to the big house.
