Traveling through ancient times

Gu Dalian dodged and hid in the shadows, then heard the door creak and a thin figure walked out!

The girl went to the toilet but came out after a while, sitting on a big rock in the yard with a look of melancholy, not moving at all!

Gu Dalian quietly walked behind her and said in a low voice: "Xiaomei!"

Gu Xiaomei suddenly looked up, covered her mouth, her eyes full of surprise!

Gu Dalian put her index finger to her lips, made a gesture for silence, pinched her waist, and flew out of the yard to the village entrance!

After landing, Gu Xiaomei said in surprise: "Sister Dalian, you are finally back..."

His voice was choked with sobs. How serious was this incident?

Gu Dalian used a handkerchief to wipe the tears from her face. The little girl seemed thinner than before!

"Tell me, what happened? Why did you lose so much weight?"

Gu Xiaomei was even more excited. She had been sick for so many days, but her parents and second sister didn't feel sorry for her at all. They even scolded her because she often advised them not to listen to her fourth uncle's instigation!

She finally had some strength these days, and she didn't want to stay in the house and listen to the family talking, so she found an excuse to leave the house!

"...My fourth uncle said that several of her classmates came from well-off families, but my second sister had never been to school. If she were to become a concubine, he would help to find a match! My second sister is only fourteen years old, not even old enough to go to college, but my fourth uncle is so impatient...Eldest sister, I'm afraid that I will..."

Gu Xiaomei choked up when she thought about her bleak future!

Gu Dalian looked at the little girl with heartache. At the age of eleven, she should be carefree, but she looked as gloomy as an old woman. She was not even as tall as the nine-year-old Xiaolian!

It seems that Gu Si has been very restless recently. Isn't he afraid of affecting his career?

Thinking about it again, Gu Dalian understood that although Gu Si looked like a handsome young man, reading a book anytime and anywhere, and seemed to be very hardworking, he was still a student! It can be seen that his ability is average!

Now, his father is bedridden and unable to move, and his mother takes care of his eating, drinking, defecating and urinating every day. He has also emptied all the money in the family. Gu Si has to make use of all the resources he can!

"Where are your uncle and aunt?"

"They're not bad. Ever since Grandpa passed away, Third Uncle and Third Aunt have rented a few acres of land to grow crops. Usually Third Aunt goes to the vermicelli workshop to pick up the vermicelli and sells it in the surrounding villages. Sometimes she secretly gives me the food she makes. We can still live!"

It seems that this couple can still be saved!

"Fourth Uncle used to look like a nice person, but now he looks at people in a sinister way... Sometimes when he looks at me... I... I feel cold all over, and I always feel like he is up to something!"

“Sister Dalian…Is Fourth Uncle going to sell me out?…Wuwuwu…I’m so scared…”

Gu Xiaomei is just a child after all, and now she can only cry helplessly. There is no one she can rely on at home. She has been looking forward to seeing Gu Dalian from the bottom of her heart. Now that she has seen her, it seems that she has someone to rely on!

Gu Dalian hugged her thin shoulders, patted them gently, thought for a moment and said:

"You should be fine during this period, and he won't do anything too obvious. After all, you still have a second sister ahead of you. Before he helps your second sister find a good place to go, you are still safe!"

"...From now on, you will be invisible and try to make your face as dirty as possible so that he won't see you. I will probably be busy for a month. When I'm done with this, I will help you come up with a foolproof solution!"

There was suddenly light in Gu Xiaomei's eyes and she nodded repeatedly. Gu Dalian sent Gu Xiaomei back to the old Gu family's yard and then returned to her own home!

After meeting Xiaolian and telling her the situation, they were both filled with sorrow!

"Sister, after we harvested the wheat these two days, I'm going to go to Yingdang Mountain for a walk. It will take about a month. You have to take good care of our family!"

When Gu Xiaolian heard this, she was very excited and said with a pout:

"Sister, can I go with you? The master said that I am a genius in medicine. They both think that they have nothing to teach me. Now all I need is more practice!"

Gu Dalian was delighted. She probably went into the space every day to drink spring water, make tea with jade liquid, and eat food produced in the space. A waste material can become a genius!

"Silly girl, if you go, what if something happens here and we can't come back? What should we do then?"

As we were chatting animatedly, we heard a noise outside the house. Just as we were about to move, we heard a deep and clear voice:

"Well, you little girl, you're back, but you don't even know to see your master. Your master still misses you!"

When Gu Dalian heard this, she hurried out with Gu Xiaolian, climbed over the wall in the direction of the sound, and arrived at Qi Xiao's yard!

"...Hehe...Master, don't be angry. We two sisters just came back. We are afraid that it is too late and will disturb your rest. Master, please don't be angry! I will bring you something good!"

After saying that, he took out two cans of Moutai and a basket of fruits from the space!

"Master, I will cook two dishes for you and let you have two drinks!"

Qi Xiaole waved his hand:

"Forget it. For these things, I forgive you. Once Hu Li comes back and tells me, I, the old man, will be waiting for you!"

Gu Dalian went to the kitchen with a smile on her face, and Gu Xiaolian went to help!

In the room was a night-shining pearl that Gu Dalian specially gave to the master. It was brightly lit. Gu Dalian also took out a smaller night-shining pearl from the kitchen and placed it in front of the window!

Two cucumbers, a handful of leeks and five or six eggs were taken out from the space and Xiaolian went to wash them!

Gu Dalian took a few more peppers, took out a piece of pork belly, cut the meat into thin slices, and prepared to make some stir-fried meat!

I took out a fish from the space and made a spicy fish fillet dish!

The dishes were served on the table. Qi Xiao happily watched his apprentice fill his glass with wine, his eyes full of satisfaction. He thought, maybe, this is the life he wants!

A plate of crispy smashed cucumber, a plate of fried leek and eggs, a plate of stir-fried pork, and a plate of spicy fish fillet. Drinking a little wine and eating some snacks, this day is so beautiful!

Qi Huli went to inspect the front yard, and the two sisters sat aside to talk to the master!

"Master, I heard from Huabaozi that he has collected a lot of homeless orphans and entrusted them to you for training. Have you found any good ones?"

Qi Xiao took a sip of wine and said:

"Don't worry, when the children come back, they will be taken care of by my mute brother for a few days, and then the ones with good intentions and good eyes will be sent to me. Now, there are more than a hundred of them, among which there are more than eighty who are suitable for martial arts training, and eighteen of the most outstanding ones!"

"So many...thank you for your hard work, Master!"

Qi Xiao took a sip of wine and a bite of food, then he said:

"You don't have to be so polite to the master, but these dozen good seedlings, from the master's point of view, have clear eyes and do things uprightly. In the future, they will definitely help you!"

"As for the rest, I still need to observe carefully!"

"Well, luckily the two courtyards were replaced with a second floor, otherwise, there would be no room for so many people!"

“Well, you are a promising girl, but I want to bring these dozen people with me personally, so that I can let them start their careers and use them for your benefit as soon as possible!”

Gu Dalian thought for a moment and said, "How many boys and girls are there here?"
