Traveling through ancient times

The next day, it was still dark!

In the mountains, there were the roars of tigers, the howls of wolves, and the cries of eagles! But they were gone in a flash!

The nerves of the people who woke up, which had just relaxed, became tense again!

When Gu Wenzhi listened to the sounds of these ferocious beasts, he was inexplicably reminded of his eldest sister's contracted beast, and an inexplicable expression appeared on his face!

What is this girl doing again?

Standing at the cave entrance, the night watchman was still adding firewood! Gu Dalian had come back from a trip under the pretext of running away to pee!

Seeing my second brother standing at the entrance of the cave, I laughed twice!

"Brother, it's still early, why don't you go to bed?"

Gu Wenzhi: "I was worried when I heard the beast roar, so I came out to take a look!"

Gu Dalian stuck out her tongue at her second brother, made a face and said "Oh!". Seeing that her second brother understood what she meant, she returned to her own little cave!

Luo Feimo also ran out, watched the interaction between the brother and sister, the corners of his mouth twitched, his heart was as clear as a mirror, and he retreated silently!

The morning sun on the snowy mountain climbed to the top of the mountain early, and the whole place was filled with silver light!

Gu Dalian and a few others had already run to the nearby area and dragged back several rabbits, pheasants, and a wild boar weighing more than 200 kilograms that Xiaoxue and her friends had hunted!

The men were in high spirits, sharpening their knives, setting up several large pots, skinning the people and collecting their blood. Gu Dalian specifically told the second brother to take the blood!

Anyway, the space is kept at a constant temperature, so there’s no need to worry about it going bad!

More than 100 kilograms of wild boar meat were left behind. Each person was given two kilograms of raw meat and kept it for themselves. The rest was all cooked. The women also cooked some dried wild mushrooms, and they had enough food for the day!

Don't ask why there is no staple food. There is not much coarse grain left, and the fine grain has been eaten up long ago! I don't know how long the rest of the journey is. If it weren't for these people hunting, how could we have survived until now?

"Sister, I don't want to eat meat anymore!" Gu Xiaolian was tempted by the delicious food in her elder sister's space, and even meat didn't smell good to her anymore!

"My lovely little sister, what would you like to eat?"

Gu Dalian looked at her sister sitting with little Gu Lun. Her long eyelashes blinked, and her little face, which had not yet grown up, was blooming with a smile as bright as the morning sun!

"I want to eat..." Gu Xiaolian just said these three words, and suddenly remembered something. Her voice suddenly became smaller, and she said in a voice that only the two of them could hear:

"Noodles with gravy! ... Add a poached egg, ... and ham! ... Okay, that's all."

Gu Dalian laughed out loud.

"You are such a greedy little cat. No problem!" He then said to Gu Lun, "My dear little cousin, what do you want to eat?"

Gu Lun was stunned. He really didn't expect the elder sister to ask him. He said seriously:

"Cousin, I'm not picky. I'll eat whatever you eat!" Although he is small, he speaks very clearly, and he looks so serious when he speaks that Gu Dalian can't help but want to touch his head!

Gu Dalian pretended to go out and walked around, then walked to the corner, entered the space, scooped three large bowls of noodles, put them into the noodle press and formed them at once! After cooking, they put them into the only large porcelain basin on the surface.

Dice potatoes, carrots, and mushrooms, soak black fungus, shred kelp, prepare onions, ginger, and garlic, then cut some of the wild boar leg meat into slices and marinate!

Beat the eggs, add flour and mix well, add the seasoned meat slices and mix well!

Heat oil in a pan, deep fry the meat slices at medium heat until golden brown. Pour out the hot oil, leaving some at the bottom of the pan, stir-fry ginger and garlic until they are fragrant, add various diced vegetables, and add boiling water to boil.

Put various ingredients into the pot, add seasonings when they are almost cooked, finally add appropriate amount of cornstarch and water, stir and add into the pot to make a thick soup, add coriander and chopped green onion and serve!

Pour the stew directly into the large porcelain basin, make room from the corner, cover the basin, and walk into their temporary nest!

Gu Wenzhi had brought Luo Feimo over earlier. Gu Dalian looked at the four people, big and small, and raised her head to look at her. Suddenly, she thought of the hungry little birds, and she felt like laughing!

Putting down the large porcelain bowl, the gravy and noodles were mixed evenly. Several people did not hesitate to use their chopsticks and bowls to fight against the gravy noodles!

Gu Dalian picked out half a bowl of noodles for little Gu Lun, peeled an egg and added a few slices of ham. The little guy smelled the fragrance, and stars sparkled in his eyes!

The small nest was filled with fragrance, and the few people were just busy eating, and no one was talking!

The aroma spread, and all the meat eaters felt that their own meat no longer smelled good!

After eating and drinking, everyone packed up and prepared to set off!

He also put a plush hat on little Gu Lun that only showed his eyes and nose, and Gu Wenzhi put him on the sled where Ma Youren and Liu Daqiang were sitting!

The further south we went, the shallower the snow seemed to be! After two days of walking and stopping, there was only a thin layer of snow on the ground, and it felt wet when we stepped on it! The snow sled was no longer useful!

Ma Xiaolian and his son Ma Youren discussed it and decided that if this design was used in the northern military, it would be a great help to the soldiers guarding the border!

After discussing with Gu Wenzhi and his sister and drawing up a blueprint, Gu Dalian waved her hand and instructed them to produce a detailed blueprint as soon as they settled down!

Ma Mingli praised the brother and sister for their magnanimity and promised to reward them handsomely after the task was accomplished!

Gu Wenzhi said modestly: "It is an honor for us brothers and sisters to contribute our modest efforts to the soldiers at the border. No thanks is needed!"

This made the Ma family father and son look at him with higher regard!

In fact, Gu Wenzhi was mainly thinking of his elder brother Gu Wenxuan who was also in the army, so he loved his elder brother Gu Wenxuan as well!

According to the two eagles' investigation, they have finally come out of the snowy mountains! After crossing a few more mountains, they will reach green grass and lush forests, not far from the human village!

"Everyone, listen to me!" Ma Youren made the decision when everyone finally arrived at a place with lush green trees, singing birds and fragrant flowers!

"We have been walking in Yingdang Mountain for almost two months. We will probably leave the mountain in two days."

“Although there aren’t many people fleeing famine who have come here, it’s hard to settle down in prosperous villages and towns. You’d better make plans early!”

Gu Shangen hesitated for a while, but finally decided to settle down at the foot of the mountain! If Gu Si could pass the exam to become a scholar in the future, he would make the next plan!

This is still a deep mountain forest with many snakes, insects, rats and ants, but the medicinal herbs in the mountains are also very rich!

Hearing that the forest was about to be opened, the people of the old Gu family took the time to start looking everywhere. Even if they didn’t know what kind of mushrooms they were, they might still find some wild mushrooms!

Gu Wenzhi didn’t think that Gu Shangen had no money. Once, he and his father came home too late after hunting, and the father and son jumped over a meter-high earthen wall to return to the yard!

Dad went back to his room to wash up. When he came out of the toilet, he passed by the main house. The oil lamp was on. It happened that grandma had gone to see my fourth uncle who was studying at the academy in the town that day and he hadn't come back yet!

Through the crack in the window that was not covered tightly, I saw: the master took out an ebony box, unlocked it, took out a stack of silver bills from it, and counted them!

There were about a dozen of them, and the top one was worth one hundred taels. Then he poured out the change inside, and there should be more than one hundred taels of silver in total, big and small!

There was actually a jade hairpin inside. The style and shape of the hairpin were so unique that it would never be found in this small place!

There is also a child’s gold necklace, which is also extremely exquisite!

From that time on, Gu Wenzhi began to have doubts in his heart!

A wealthy family lived in a dilapidated mud house, inconspicuous in the village. They bought more than ten acres of fertile land, but even if they rented out the land, they could not collect much rent.

The second wife could not eat enough, could not wear warm clothes, and worked hard to cultivate the few acres of fertile land. In good years, apart from the money handed over to the court, the rest could only barely provide enough food and clothing for the whole family!

The old couple also have the first, third, and fourth wives. Which one of them is not beaming with joy? Even if they are eating the blood of the second wife, that is too weird!

We will be out of the mountains soon, and when everything is settled, the time to reveal the truth will be here soon!
