Mountain People

Dong Chenghu was carrying a huge sum of money, and he was uncomfortable walking, Gu Shuixiu just thought it was funny.

The two finally went to the sheath leather master. The master looked at the tiger skin and said it was a pity. In the end, he sighed with regret. If the skin is complete, buy a few A thousand taels is not a problem, but now the skins are like this, even if the sheaths are made, they will sell for a few hundred taels at most, but the bear skins are not bad.

The master bid two hundred taels of tiger skins and one thousand taels of bear skins, and bought them directly. This thing is sheathed and sent to the capital, and it is not a problem to sell it for seven or eight thousand taels.

Dong Chenghu naturally understands this point, but their husband and wife have no power or power, and they can't go to the capital. It's not bad to get this money, and they don't care about it.

He came with a bunch of big guys, and now he's finally light.

The husband and wife have a total of 2,180 taels. Dong Chenghu always feels uneasy with these banknotes, and he has some unreal feeling in his heart. Some time ago, he was a poor hunter who was impoverished, why? After marrying Shuixiu, did the money come so easily?

Dong Chenghu immediately regarded Gu Shuixiu as his lucky star, and became more and more determined to listen to Gu Shuixiu's words for the rest of his life.

"Chenghu, I'm not at ease with so many silver notes on me. Let's go to see if the fishing boat is ready. If it is, pick up the goods directly, and then go to the bank to exchange the silver notes for silver. , let's get the silver home and hide it. Anyway, we are in the deep mountains, and if we hide it securely, we will never be discovered. "

Gu Shuixiu would think so just now when Dong Chenghu was removing the bones of the tiger, and the shopkeeper Sun was bored and in a good mood, so he chatted with her a little more.

Only then did she know that the capital is not stable now. In the past few years, many places in the Liang Dynasty have suffered disasters, and bandits and robbers have become more and more rampant. Dare to sign the papers for Gu Shuixiu and his wife, etc.

Before they entered the yard of the carpenter's house, they saw his figure busy in the yard. The carpenter looked up when he heard the footsteps, and found that it was Gu Shuixiu and his wife, and immediately put down the work in his hand , with an excited look on his face, took the two to see him making a fishing boat.

This thing in front of her looked bigger than a fishing boat, and there was a dock, etc. Gu Shuixiu was happy when she saw it.

Don't be too long-winded, I paid the rest of the money immediately, and gave the master an extra tael for hard work.

The carpenter got an extra tael of silver and was happy. He asked a few apprentices to help them carry the boat to the port. When the boat was launched, Gu Shuixiu and his wife went up to try it, and they were more and more satisfied.

Twenty pennies were handed over to the guards, and the couple went ashore again, and this time they went to the bank to exchange money.

On Dong Chenghu's pace, the two men breathed a sigh of relief when the fishing boat rowed out of the inland river.

Now that they have fishing boats, they don't have to be afraid of wind and rain.

Dong Chenghu only felt very relieved, while paddling, eating the steamed buns that Gu Shuixiu fed to his mouth, his heart was quiet like never before, as if it just continued like this.

The two finally arrived at the beach of Qingping Mountain before the sunset completely. The husband and wife dragged the fishing boat behind the stones on the beach. There were large stones in the way. It is possible to see this fishing boat, and it is even more impossible to know that there are still people here.

Dong Chenghu hid the box of silver under the wooden bed in the cave, the couple casually lay down and slept, and woke up refreshed the next day to remember what to do with the silver.

In the end, Gu Shuixiu divided the silver into four parts and hid them under four trees near the house. The mountains were bought and enclosed by themselves, so as not only to guard against wild beasts, but also to ensure the safety of their money.

Gu Shuixiu told Dong Chenghu what he thought, the guy was surprised, as if he had never thought about this issue, or dared not imagine that a person with no assets like him would actually Can buy a mountain one day.

There is no need for Gu Shuixiu to persuade him, Dong Chenghu has already nodded desperately with excitement on his face, this is something he dare not even dream of!

But things can only be planned first. The two have to go to the place where they found Qilinxie last time. In addition, Curcuma has not been found, this thing grows under the shade of trees, and now it is During the flowering season, it should not be difficult to find. It is estimated that the place where I went back is wrong.

The two of them brought three hundred taels of silver, and one of them carried a basket on their backs. They also took the meat buns that were not eaten yesterday, and set off immediately.

Following the mark made by Gu Shuixiu, the two found Qilinxie without taking any detours. This time there were no animals fighting for territory here, so the two quickly started to pick all the Qilinxie they found. I stopped after loading most of the baskets. In order to save time, Dong Chenghu took Gu Shuixiu to another mountain forest. As long as there was a shade of trees, the two of them would not let go, and finally found a few trees.

I picked it up and rushed to Caozi Village when it was dark. If things went well, they could go to Panlong Town early the next day after spending one night in Caozi Village.

Now that the couple has money, they don't have to worry about the cost of Gu Mingde's treatment.

Dong Chenghu caught two more hares along the way, and then he said with a smile: "It's better to go to my father-in-law's house in this way."

Gu Shuixiu sneered at him, but didn't stop her, it's good for the Gu family to eat more oil and water.

The two entered Gu's house before dark.

Seeing that the couple's dangling heart finally let go, Mrs. Zhao hurried over to take their baskets, "It's been two or three days since you left, I've been worried about you being in the mountains these few days. It’s okay to run into a beast, it’s okay! This person is all right!”

Zhao sighed the two of them up and down, and heaved a sigh of relief.

Dong Chenghu smirked honestly, handed the two hares to Gu Daniu, listened carefully to Zhao's thoughts, he couldn't say that they really met a wild beast, or a tiger and a black bear, You didn't have to scare Mr. Zhao to death.

The family had a pleasant dinner.

On the second day, Gu Daniu accompanied Gu Mingde and Gu Shuixiu into Panlong Town.

The doctor obviously did not expect that Gu Shuixiu and the others would be so fast, and he had collected so many medicinal materials. He was overjoyed, and immediately agreed to dispense medicine to Gu Mingde. After the ointment was prepared, the bones would be broken. This paragraph Time Gu Mingde can only temporarily stay in the hospital.
