Traveling through ancient times

All the furniture in the house is ready, now we have to rationalize the things we take out!

At night, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse!

Gu Dalian took out a thick mattress and laid out the beds separately. She also took out a Peppa pillow for little Gu Lun and lit some incense to repel mosquitoes!

Help me wash up and put on soft pajamas!

Little Gu Lun was excited, but his good upbringing reminded him not to jump around. The little expression of trying not to laugh on his face was so adorable!

Gu Dalian touched his head and said with a smile: "If our little Lun is happy, just cheer. There's no need to hold it back! Now, hold your little cutie and go to sleep!"

Gu Lun struggled for a while, but finally couldn't hold it in anymore. He smiled happily at Gu Dalian: "Okay, I'm going to sleep first!" He fell asleep while holding Peppa!

The three brothers and sisters sat on the benches outside the yard to discuss future matters!

"I suggest that we go to the town tomorrow and ask the pharmacy first. Then my second brother can hunt some wild animals, otherwise the things will have no source!" Gu Dalian said!

"Great, sister, I haven't been to the town yet!" Gu Xiaolian danced with excitement!

Gu Wenzhi thought for a moment and said, "Alright, let's take a look and see if there is any work!"

"Second brother, what kind of job are you looking for? Don't you want to study?" Gu Dalian asked with his head tilted!

Gu Wenzhi pursed his lips. Actually, he loved reading since he was a child, but his family situation did not allow it. Only his mother took time out every day to teach him to recognize words and recite!

He started studying Hundred Family Surnames, Three Character Classic, Thousand Character Classic, etc. at the age of three and never stopped until his mother passed away. He knew all the books by heart!

Hearing what my sister said, I was very excited. Now that my brothers and sisters are good at martial arts, if they go to school and take time to hunt some wild beasts in the mountains and sell them, they can make a lot of money!

I didn’t dare to think about going to a private school before, but now that my elder brother has joined the army, I will study literature, make a good future, and provide shelter for my family!

After thinking for a while, Gu Wenzhi said, "Let's take it slow first. I've just broken up with my relationship, and if I go back to school, I'll easily be hated!"

"Okay, then we'll go to town tomorrow to sell our stuff and buy some for the household!"

At dawn, Gu Wenzhi had already shot a roe deer, which was still alive but had injured its hind legs. He also shot two pheasants and a hare. In order to let the villagers see them, he put all the things in the open!

I walked westwards and asked everyone I met: "Aunt, is it far to town?"

A woman in her thirties saw that they were four newly settled brothers and sisters (in the eyes of outsiders, Gu Lun was also one of them) and felt a little sympathetic towards their plight. She enthusiastically gave directions: "Oh, it takes two hours to get to the town. Won't you be exhausted if you run there?"

"If you have copper coins, go to the big locust tree at the entrance of the village. The son of the village head goes to the town every day to help people transport goods. He will take people with him on the way. Each person is two cents. If the item is large, two more cents will be added! If you go now, you can just catch up!"

"Thank you, Auntie. We'll go first!"

Gu Dalian had honey on her lips. After the greetings, Gu Wenzhi put a roe deer, two pheasants and a hare in his big backpack. Gu Dalian and her sister each carried a basket of medicinal herbs and went to the village entrance with little Gu Lun!

Zhang Ping'an, the eldest son of the village head, was a man in his twenties, of medium height, with a slightly dark face. There were already three women sitting on the ox cart!

Seeing the four people coming, Zhang Pingan smiled and said, "Brother Gu, are you going to the town too?" Seeing Gu Wenzhi nodded, he said, "Hurry up and sit down, we are about to leave!"

The three women squeezed aside, and Gu Wenzhi picked up Gu Lun and put him into the ox cart. Seeing that his two sisters had put on their backpacks and sat next to the women, he put the backpack aside as well!

Zhang Ping'an, who was sitting next to the shaft of the cart, sat down firmly. After a whip was cracked, the ox began to move forward slowly, and the ox cart started with a creaking sound!

The ox cart was too slow, so the three women first talked about the Dong family and the Li family for a while. After a while of silence, one of the women, who was in her thirties, patted Gu Dalian on the shoulder:

"Little girl, what's in your basket?"

In fact, there is nothing covered on the top of the basket, it’s just that the herbs on the top are uncommon and most people don’t recognize them!

"Aunt, these are medicinal herbs. We picked them in the mountains when we were fleeing famine. Now that we've settled down, we're selling them to buy some new things!"

Gu Dalian explained with a smile and took out a handful of

"I don't know if it's worth the money! Alas..."

Gu Xiaolian said to the woman:

"Auntie, which drug store owner in this town is easy to talk to?" A pair of big, bright eyes that look pure and innocent make people feel inexplicably close to him!

The woman looked at him and liked him: "This little one is so cute. How did you brothers and sisters grow up? Each one is so cute and lovely!"

She stretched out her hand to pinch the little face which was already a little chubby and smiled: "Auntie is going to sell eggs. After selling the eggs, I will take you to the clinic!..."

As they were talking excitedly, another woman in her twenties said sarcastically:

"Sister-in-law Xiao, you really love to meddle in other people's business. We don't know where these little brats came from, but they came to live in our mountain valley. Could it be that their family got into trouble and they came here to escape the disaster?"

The other woman was also in her 20s, with a small nose, small eyes, and was thin. She must have had a good relationship with the man and joined in the conversation:

"Yes, Fu Yingzi is right. These kids are so tender and delicate. They don't look like they are just refugees!"

The woman called Sister Xiao rolled her eyes at them:

"Qin Ruyi, stop talking nonsense. Is it wrong for someone to be good-looking? Who doesn't know about the incident in their family yesterday? If there was anything wrong, the county government would have found out when they registered the household!"

Gu Dalian's main character is smiling:

"Aunt Xiao, you're right. It's not our fault that we are good-looking. Some people are just like monks and Taoist priests - they are too lenient!"

Gu Xiaolian also laughed, holding a few fruit candies given by her sister, she peeled off the candy wrapper and said to Aunt Xiao:

"Good auntie, open your mouth quickly and I'll give you something delicious to eat!"

Aunt Xiao's name was Xiao Fangfang. Seeing Gu Xiaolian holding up a green, transparent candy for her to eat, she was very happy and said with a smile:

"Oh, this is a good thing, you can't find it in town, little girl, I'll save it for you to enjoy slowly!"

Gu Xiaolian didn't say anything more. She put it directly into Aunt Xiao's mouth and said, "I like you, so I'll give it to you!"

The sweet taste made Aunt Xiao very happy: "Oh, Aunt, isn't it a waste to eat such a good thing?"

Having said that, after putting it in his mouth for a few sips, he secretly took out a piece of fruit candy from the leaves covering the eggs in the basket, spit it into the leaves, wrapped it up, and put it in his pocket.

Such a sweet and delicious thing, I’m going to take it home and give it to my daughter!

Gu Lun, who was sitting next to Gu Wenzhi, looked at everyone with his bright dark eyes, a piece of fruit candy in his mouth: Two bad aunts and one good aunt!

The two people sitting in the front, without the woman's help, walked slowly all the way and finally arrived in the town!

The ox cart stopped at the east side of the town. There was a market there. Zhang Pingan said:

"Gather here at 3 p.m. this afternoon. No one will be waiting after that time!" Several people jumped off the ox cart. The three women paid two cents each and went to the market to sell things first!

Gu Dalian jumped off the ox cart and gave him fourteen cents. Zhang Pingan returned four cents and said:

"You don't need so much. Hurry up and find a place to sell the wild animals while there are many people around!" He pulled the ox cart and left!

Gu Wenzhi was carrying a backpack and walking in front of him, holding Gu Lun's hand. It was the first time for the Gu Dalian sister to visit the market and they seemed extremely excited!

The market was not too big, but there were quite a lot of people and it was bustling. The side where we stopped was a cattle and horse market, and it was an open space!

Walking a little further west, there are shops on both sides, two larger grocery stores, and two or three cloth shops that also sell ready-made clothes!

There is also a furniture store, a funeral supplies store, a snack shop, a clinic, two or three grain and oil stores, and two or three restaurants!

The most eye-catching one is the Fuman Restaurant, which has two floors and looks very historic!

Another restaurant, Haokelai, is diagonally opposite and should also be an old restaurant!

If you go further ahead, you will see Zheng’s butcher shop on both sides, then the pastry shop, Wang’s noodle shop, and Li’s pancake shop...

The other place should be the place where villagers come to buy all kinds of things, such as vegetables, eggs, meat, and wild animals. There is a wide variety of things on sale, and there are quite a lot of them!

Gu Dalian spotted an empty spot, quickly pulled his second brother over, and took out the wild animal inside!
