Destiny Koi, I'm cheating after rebirth
Chapter 16: Sit back and wait?
At the hour of Mao, Mrs. Gu Wang had already prepared a sumptuous breakfast.
"Mother, you don't have to get up so early to prepare food for us in the future."
Gu Yan also nodded, "Yes, Second Aunt, I can do it myself in the future."
In the past, he would bring two whole-grain steamed buns with him for the day when he went up the mountain.
It was unimaginable to have such a sumptuous breakfast like the one we had now. On the table were brown sugar steamed buns, red bean porridge, sesame cakes, and Second Aunt even made fried dough sticks.
In fact, the Gu family rarely eats fried dough sticks, after all, this thing consumes a lot of oil.
Gu Qingzhi took a bite of fried dough sticks and a mouthful of porridge, her mouth became greasy and shiny, and she felt very happy.
Well, mother's cooking skills have improved. It seems that the unique book that she asked Gu Yan to copy the day before yesterday is quite useful. It records miscellaneous talks, including recipes of food from various places in the previous dynasty.
Sure enough, after learning the recipe, my mother improved the method of making fried dough sticks. Now the fried dough sticks are softer and more delicious, and the taste is even better.
After breakfast, Gu Qingzhi followed Gu Yan up the mountain carrying a small backpack.
There are two big mountains behind Shengtangli, Dongfeng Mountain and Xizi Mountain.
Usually, most villagers go to Dongfeng Mountain, which is located to the east of Shengtangli and close to Shengtangli. Gu Qingzhi fell into a trap in that mountain last time.
Xizi Mountain is located to the west of Shengtangli and is quite far away from Shengtangli. It is connected to Beilin Mountain Range at the back. It is said that there are man-eating beasts in it. Therefore, few people in the village go there.
In view of this, Gu Yan decided to take her to another mountain called Xizi Mountain which was less crowded but relatively farther away.
Actually there is another reason.
He didn't have a very good reputation in the village. Normally, it didn't matter where he went alone, but now that he was with Princess Gu, he didn't want the villagers to say bad things about her and affect her reputation.
He was regarded as a disaster star and an ominous person by the villagers, and he was used to it. But the little princess was different. She always cared more about her reputation.
Bai Xiaolian, who often played with the little princess, was called the reincarnation of a lucky star by the villagers. She could easily pick up wild pheasants and rabbits while walking on the roadside. There were countless such things from childhood to adulthood.
Everyone in the village likes her and is happy to interact with her.
Didn’t the little princess always stay with her?
However, I haven’t seen Bai Xiaolian during these days of recuperation at home. Could it be that the little princess has stopped associating with her?
He was not a talkative person. He thought about it silently for a moment and then put it out of his mind.
The way up the mountain was not easy to walk on, but Gu Qingzhi walked and stopped from time to time. Along the way, Gu Yan watched Gu Qingzhi jumping around like a little rabbit and felt worried, fearing that she would fall or get hurt.
Halfway through the journey, Gu Yan saw that she was having a hard time walking, so he suggested that they stop and rest for a while.
If he had walked by himself, he would have reached his destination by now.
Gu Qingzhi was overjoyed and quickly found a tree stump to sit on. She took out a gourd from the small backpack and drank some water. In the gourd was the mung bean soup that her mother had brought her.
She patted the tree stump next to her and motioned for Gu Yan to sit down, "Brother Gu Yan, sit down."
Gu Yan was somewhat speechless, but looking at the little princess's attitude, it seemed that she would not give up until he sat down, so he had no choice but to sit down as she pleased.
Gu Qingzhi took out a slightly larger gourd from the small backpack and handed it to him, saying with a smile, "Brother Gu Yan, drink the mung bean water."
Gu Yan...
Looking at the stubborn look of the little princess, Gu Yan's fingers moved and finally he took it. He unscrewed the lid and drank it. It was mung bean syrup!
Gu Yan, who often went up the mountain without bringing water and drank mountain spring water when thirsty, felt mixed emotions. This was the first time he enjoyed the treat of mung bean sugar water!
"Brother Gu Yan, what is that over there?"
Gu Yan looked at the direction the little princess pointed. There was a cloud of dust in the distance, and it seemed like something was running towards this side very quickly.
He squinted his eyes and looked at what seemed to be two hares.
Gu Yan opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, two wild rabbits passed by them and ran headfirst into a wooden stake not far away.
He stared in amazement at the two hares that had been knocked unconscious in front of the wooden stake.
Gu Qingzhi clapped her hands happily, "Brother Gu Yan, look, isn't this called 'waiting for the rabbit by the tree'?"
Gu Yan was somewhat speechless. Sit back and wait for the rabbit to come to you. Is this idiom used in this way?
Gu Qingzhi didn't care. In fact, she encountered such things frequently and was already used to it. However, Bai Xiaolian was always by her side at that time, and she picked up all those things and took them home.
Now that she has seen her true face, she will naturally not let her get away with it!
Of course, good things are picked up and taken back home.
She also couldn't understand why she was so stupid in her previous life. She gave those things to someone else just because Hei Xinlian cried a few times. Unfortunately, her kindness was not rewarded, and she ended up fostering other people's ambitions and harming her own family.
Gu Qingzhi reminded in a good mood, "Brother Gu Yan, should we tie up the rabbits? They should wake up soon."
Gu Yan suddenly woke up as if from a dream. He quickly pulled a vine from the side, tied up the two rabbits, and threw them into the backpack at the back. The two rabbits were quite fat, estimated to weigh more than ten kilograms.
Gu Qingzhi was very happy as she could eat spicy rabbit head and braised rabbit meat tonight.
Xizi Mountain is connected to the Beilin Mountain Range. According to old people in the village, there are many ferocious beasts in the deep mountains. In the past, during years of famine, some ferocious beasts came down the mountain to eat people.
I just wanted to pick some wild vegetables, fruits and mountain products to supplement the family income. Those are all available in Dongfeng Mountain. There is no reason to risk my life for these.
Therefore, few people are involved in Xizi Mountain.
In fact, this is also the reason why Gu Yan prefers this side. He does not want to cause trouble with others. He has a bad reputation and he will always suffer. What's more, there are more abundant resources and less competition here. It's just a longer journey, which is no big deal for him.
In the past, he always went up the mountain at 3 a.m., but today, in order to wait for the little princess, he was already much later than usual.
After resting for a while, the two continued on their journey. After walking for more than half an hour, they arrived at their destination safely. Gu Qingzhi was panting, but fortunately, they finally arrived. Her body was too weak now, so she had to continue to strengthen her physical exercise when she returned.
Although Gu Qingzhi seemed to be jumping around all the way, she was actually observing very carefully, noting down every place where there were herbs and wild vegetables.
I have to say that Xizi Mountain is truly a natural treasure.
The closer she got to the mountains, the richer the resources. She saw many rare medicinal herbs. If she took these...
She felt a burning sensation in her heart.
There was only one doctor, Doctor Li, in the villages near Shengtangli. Although he would go up the mountain to collect herbs from time to time, as far as she knew, he usually went to the nearby Dongfeng Mountain.
Moreover, if she hadn’t read so many medical books when she was a ghost in her previous life, she probably wouldn’t have been able to identify so many medicinal herbs, right?
