Destiny Koi, I'm cheating after rebirth

Chapter 82 Can't Connect

Gu Qingzhi felt that her mother was different. It was her first time doing it, and it was already very good that she could do it like this.

"Mom, this needs to be tied in a knot here."

"Go through here."

"Put it back a little more here."

"Right, that is it."

Under Gu Qingzhi's careful guidance, the silk flowers made by Gu Wangshi gradually took shape.

Gu Wangshi never thought that one day she would ask her daughter for praise, but at this moment, she was overwhelmed with joy and couldn't help but say, "Qing'er, what do you think? This is what I did myself!"

Full sense of accomplishment!

Gu Qingzhi looked at the silk flowers in Gu Wangshi's hand with a big smile on her face, and she didn't forget to flatter her, "The silk flowers made by mother are so beautiful!"

Her smile was genuine, and Gu Wangshi said she appreciated it very much. "Then I'll give you this silk flower."

Gu Qingzhi quickly stretched her head forward and said, "Mother, keep your word and put the hairpin on me quickly!"

"Okay, okay, it's yours. I'll put it on for you right away."

With the encouragement of this silk flower, Gu Wang worked even harder.

At first she could only do one trick, but by the time she was almost home, she had learned to do three tricks!

Still unfinished!

At the same time, in Dahe County, dozens of kilometers away.

Gu Lin swallowed and said, "Dad, there seems to be someone in front!"

Gu Lin was sitting in the front of the carriage and saw from afar someone waving and blocking the road ahead.

Gu Cheng stuck his head out of the car, took a look, and told the driver, "Driver, please go over and take a look."

Lin Hua breathed a sigh of relief. The old man and the young master had both fainted, and the car broke down in the middle of the road. It was getting dark, and they were in trouble in this place where there was no village or shop nearby. They didn't know if there would be wild beasts here at night, which could be fatal.

Moreover, the old and young people in the car also need to see a doctor as soon as possible.

It took a long time before a carriage passed by. This damn remote place.

He quickly stepped forward and bowed, "Hello, gentlemen."

"I am a servant of the Lin Mansion in Pengze County. My master and young master are injured and unconscious, and the carriage is broken. I wonder if you gentlemen can give us a ride?"

After arriving home, several people took in the things they bought today along with the baskets.

Gu Yan hesitated for a moment, picked up the backpack and was about to go out, "Second Aunt, Qingqing, I'm going out for a while!"

Gu Qingzhi brought a bowl out from the kitchen, "Brother, drink a bowl of mung bean soup first to get rid of the summer heat."

This was cooked by my mother early in the morning and hung in the well. It is just right for drinking now.

The mung bean soup was slightly cool, and after drinking it, Gu Yan felt that the heat in his body had subsided a lot. He smoothed Gu Qingzhi's hair and said in a low voice, "Qingqing, I'm going to go out for a while and go up the mountain to check the situation on the other side of the fence."

Last night he studied the book on mechanical devices again and happened to find a hidden mechanism, so he planned to try it out.

Thinking that her brother was about to go out right after returning, Gu Qingzhi quickly pulled his sleeve and said, "Brother, wait a moment."

She ran back to the kitchen and took out a small cloth bag. "Brother, this contains beef jerky that I made the day before yesterday. Try it and see how it tastes."

After a pause, she continued, "If it tastes good, we can make some rabbit jerky, chicken jerky, etc., so you can take more with you when you go out."

Originally, Gu Yan didn't want to accept it. That was only a small amount of beef they bought, and it must be left for his sister.

But, after hearing the last sentence, he accepted it. It was okay, let him try the taste. Beef was hard to find, but there was plenty of rabbit meat and chicken, right?

If it is made into jerky, it can be kept for a long time. Next time they hunt yellow leopards or wild deer, they can consider keeping them and making some jerky.

Thinking of this, he kept the idea in mind, took the cloth bag from Gu Qingzhi's hand and went out.

Gu Yan did not go up the mountain directly, but first went to a house in the village, the home of Carpenter Yu.

"Hello, is Carpenter Yu at home?"

The gate creaked open and an old man in a grey shirt came out. "Who are you?"

Carpenter Yu looked at the young man in front of him, who was thin but still as tall as a pine tree. His slightly cloudy eyes flashed. He knew this young man. He was the child of Mr. Gu from the village.

However, they had never met before, so why would he suddenly come to her house?

Gu Yan saluted with his arms crossed. Carpenter Yu was a respected elder in the village and also a carpenter with decades of craftsmanship. Gu Yan didn't feel anything when he saluted him. It was very natural. "Are you Carpenter Yu? I am Gu Yan, the eldest son of Gu Qi."

"Young Master Gu." Carpenter Yu dodged and did not accept his full courtesy. He could tell at a glance that this young master was no ordinary person and could not accept his courtesy.

"Young man, what brings you here?" Carpenter Yu looked at the young man in front of him kindly. He couldn't think of any connection between the two families, so he got straight to the point.

He was familiar with Gu Yan's father's generation, but not so familiar with these younger generations. However, he had heard of Gu Yan's previous reputation. It was said that he was extremely smart and talented. He was very knowledgeable at a young age and was a genius praised by everyone.

I don’t know what happened, but in recent years, there have been a lot of words damaging his reputation.

"Carpenter Yu, I am here to ask you to build a cart for me."

Yu the Carpenter has been doing carpentry work for more than 40 years. He retired this year and rested at home because he gave his position to his son.

His craftsmanship is among the best in the entire county.

Before, Gu Lin, the eldest son of the Gu family, was almost sent to learn from him. Later, for some unknown reason, he went to another carpentry shop as an apprentice and is still doing odd jobs now.

However, it is like this for all apprentices. Others are sent to learn skills from a young age, but Gu Lin is a latecomer, so one can imagine the difficulties involved.

I don’t know if my brother really likes being a carpenter. If he doesn’t like it, he thinks he can change to a more promising career.

"Wagon?" Carpenter Yu repeated in confusion, "I have retired now and no longer work in the county's carpentry business."

He was afraid that the young man in front of him didn't understand, so he emphasized this matter.

Unexpectedly, Gu Yan nodded slightly, "I know all this."

Carpenter Yu was a little surprised and couldn't help but complain in his heart, "You knew this but still came to me? Are you trying to make fun of me?"

Gu Yan ignored Carpenter Yu's flash of anger and said, "Although you are no longer working in the carpentry business, your skills are still there. It seems that there is no problem for me to come to you to order a cart?"

Carpenter Yu was slightly stunned. This was true. There was indeed no problem.

He quickly realized, "Young Master, are you asking me to make it custom-made for you?"

Gu Yan curled his lips and nodded slightly. Wasn't that what he said at the beginning? "Do you have a question? Can't answer it..."
