Therefore, it is necessary to find a place nearby on the mountain for temporary storage.

My brother must have thought carefully before choosing this place. "Brother, what can I do?"

Gu Yan hesitated for a while, and it seemed that he had no idea. However, he still smiled and said, "Of course, Qingqing, can you help me find some herbs that can repel snakes, insects, rats and ants?"

His original intention was just to find something for his sister to do.

Unexpectedly, Gu Qingzhi thought more. In this mountain, there are so many snakes, insects, rats and ants. Don’t they need some anthelmintics?

She nodded and took on the task, then began to carefully search for herbs nearby.

Gu Qingzhi kept recalling the books she had read in her previous life, looking for herbs that could repel snakes and insects. At the same time, she was also looking for medicine that could repel wild beasts.

Although this place is close to people, wild animals should not come here, but who knows?

She had the impression that she had seen such a recipe before.

After spending a long time, she finally found the relevant memories, but she didn't know if these herbs could be found nearby.

While Gu Qingzhi was looking for herbs, Gu Yan started to build a game fence, which he had already thought of in his mind.

Of course, this is not an easy task, but Gu Yan had not planned to finish it all at once today. He planned to do it slowly and make a small one today, just enclosing the wild deer and the pheasants and rabbits harvested today.

He was very familiar with this valley and had already spotted the spot, and came to an area where there were many big trees.

Gu Yan first cut down a big tree, cut off the extra branches, and then cut it into pieces of wood, and drove wooden stakes into the places where the trees were sparsely spaced.

Driving wood stakes is not an easy task.

Gu Yan had no other tools so he could only use a machete to dig a hole. After digging a hole of moderate size, he buried the wood in it.

Then use vines to surround these big trees and wooden stakes, and this is a natural tree stump fence.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered the book on mechanical devices he had read a few days ago, which recorded a hidden mechanism. However, he had not finished reading the book, so naturally he could not understand the mystery of it. However, it is still possible to use the natural terrain to set up a hidden mechanism at the entrance of the valley. Ordinary people cannot see through it, but experts can tell it at a glance.

Gu Yan pondered for a while and decided to try to set one up first. After all, there shouldn’t be any experts here in Sheng Tang, right?

Since he couldn't finish it today, he decided to come up early tomorrow and try to make the mechanism first. This way, the things stored here would have at least one more layer of protection.

By the time Gu Qingzhi had picked all the usable herbs nearby, Gu Yan had already used large trees and wood to build a sturdy stump fence, and surrounded it with vines all around and on the top. It wasn't big, but it was more than enough to trap a wild deer and a few pheasants and rabbits.

To be on the safe side, Gu Yan tied one of the wild deer's feet with a vine and tied it under the tree.

As for the hares and pheasants, let them roam freely in the enclosure.

Gu Yan had just put some fodder on the ground when he saw Gu Qingzhi coming back with a large bundle of herbs.

"Qingqing," he stepped forward and took the herbs, "thank you for your hard work."

Gu Qingzhi shook her head. Her brother was so capable. While she was looking for herbs, he had already built a small fence.

Seeing his sister looking at the fence he made, Gu Yan was rarely embarrassed, "Well, we didn't have enough time, so it's a little rough."

Is this still considered rough? Gu Qingzhi's face was filled with a look of confusion. Her brother was too modest.

"How do we deal with these herbs?" Gu Yan quickly changed the subject.

"Just smash it and grind it into juice."

After a busy period of time, the two of them sprinkled the herbal juice densely around the fence, so that snakes and insects would not run into the fence.

Finally, Gu Yan picked up two pheasants and a load of mountain products, left the rest of the prey here, and went down the mountain with Gu Qingzhi.

After returning home, Gu Yan put the mountain products in the yard, put down the two pheasants, and asked Gu Wang's mother and daughter, "Second Aunt, dear, I want to send this pheasant to Uncle Gu Chen."

Gu Qingzhi didn't think much about it. The two cousins ​​from Uncle Gu Chen's family had just helped them yesterday, so it was normal for her brother to give them a pheasant to express his gratitude.

Mrs. Gu Wang also nodded with satisfaction. Her family had a good relationship with her uncle Gu Chen's family, otherwise she would not have asked him to charter a car. Their two children came over yesterday to help set up the donkey shed. Moreover, this pheasant was brought down from the mountain by Erlang and his friends, so she had no objection to how the children wanted to deal with it.

Gu Yan then sent a pheasant to the chicken coop in the backyard.

After coming out, he picked up another pheasant in the corner of the yard, looked at Gu Qingzhi and said, "Qingqing, I will clean these up when I come back."

Gu Qingzhi smiled slightly but didn't say much.

After Gu Yan left, Gu Qingzhi didn't really wait for him to come back and clean up.

Her brother has so many things to do every day and has to study late at night. It's so hard. She must have done all the things she could do by herself.

Don't ask her how she knew this. The answer is that one night when she woke up in the middle of the night, she saw that the light in her brother's study was still on. She walked closer and saw that her brother was writing furiously.

Yes, my brother plans to go back to the academy next year to continue his studies. However, he has been away from the academy for two years. Can he still catch up with the progress?

I'm busy working during the day and don't have time, so I have to do it at night.

However, she was no longer worried when she thought that her brother would become the top scorer in the imperial examination.

What she had to do, of course, was to guard the rear and ensure her brother could go to school without worries.

Gu Qingzhi first went with Gu Wangshi to collect a large bundle of medicinal herbs. She picked out the herbs for the sick donkey and divided them into portions. She picked out one of them, washed it, took it into the kitchen, and put it in a large iron pot to boil water. She left the others to dry and use them later.

"Qing'er, how did you find so many of these?"

Gu Wangshi helped to clean up, but she was also confused to see her daughter coming back with a yard full of grass roots that she couldn't even name.

"Mother, these are not ordinary weeds, they are medicinal herbs. Once they are picked up, they can be used directly as medicine."

Gu Wangshi didn't expect that these inconspicuous grass roots were actually medicine?

But how did my daughter know?

She asked naturally.

Gu Qingzhi was startled. This was a good opportunity to get out of the way. "Mother, didn't I buy a book called 'Collection of Medicinal Herbs'? It introduces these herbs."

"Besides, didn't my brother copy three ancient medical books for me last time? I have been reading them recently, and then I know all this."

After buying the "Collection of Medicinal Herbs" last time, her brother found three medical books in the box of ancient books and copied one for her directly. She is indeed reading them when she has time.
