When crossing encounters rebirth

After being advised by the two brothers Feng Hanxiu, Feng Lingtian finally complied with their wishes and continued to pretend to be a bewitched person to paralyze the members of the Helian family.

Because what Feng Hanxiu wanted was to let Helian Lanxin's body slowly decline, so Gu Qian could only combine various drugs and poisonous insects to carefully feed the two mother-child Gu.At the same time, Xiao Qingya took advantage of Helian Lan's intentional visit to visit her, and deliberately let Gu Qian meet with Helian Lanxin.

According to Gu Qian's observation, he found that Helian Lanxin actually didn't understand Gu.Helian Lanxin didn't understand many of the terms that their Gu talents would know.From this, Feng Hanyi deduced that this mother-child Gu was probably taught to Helian Lanxin to use by someone with a heart, to control the Empress Nanfeng.

When Feng Hanyi wanted to tell Feng Hanxiu about this discovery, he remembered that Feng Hanxiu had taken Gu Qing away from Beijing a day ago to search for ore veins near Xunlong Mountain.At the moment, Feng Hanyi could only order someone to secretly inquire about whether the Helian family had contact with any suspicious people in recent years. At the same time, he handed over a letter to Ye Xiao, ordering him to deliver it to Feng Hanxiu himself.

On the official road at the foot of Xunlong Mountain, a white horse with an unusually handsome appearance ran slowly past.It carried one or two men on its back, they were Feng Hanxiu and Gu Qing who came out to look for ore veins.

This time they came out to look for mineral veins, because it is not easy to make a big show, so as not to be noticed by those who are interested.So Feng Hanxiu didn't even bring a single entourage with him, and he and Gu Qing pretended to be on an outing, riding together and then came out.

"Xiu, how long do we have to go?" Gu Qing leaned against Feng Hanxiu's arms, looking at the increasingly desolate scenery around him, with a look of hopelessness.

After driving for a day, the two finally arrived near Xunlong Mountain.It's just that Gu Qing looked at the surrounding terrain, but he always felt that there was no mineral vein nearby.In his previous life, because of his preference for jade and emerald, he was somewhat involved in the mineral veins.Although he couldn't see where the ore veins were at a glance, he had done some research on the surrounding environment of the mine veins.

They walked all the way, Feng Hanxiu chose the official road, although it is a bit desolate now, but if they keep going along this road, Gu Qing thinks that there should be no mining area.

"Don't worry, you'll be there soon after passing the previous checkpoint." Feng Hanxiu let Xue Po run quickly. He only remembered that the mineral vein area he reported was after that checkpoint, but the specific The place, but I really can't remember.

Gu Qing could only nod his head lightly when he heard the words, knowing that there was no rush for this matter.Besides, before coming out, Feng Hanxiu had already made it clear to him that it was hard to say whether there were ore veins here.However, this did not reduce Gu Qing's enthusiasm for this trip in the slightest. This was the first time he traveled alone with Feng Hanxiu in so many years.

Just this rare moment of leisure is enough to make Gu Qing happy.

After Xue Po ran for a while, Gu Qing saw a simple checkpoint not far away as Feng Hanxiu said.Feng Hanxiu retracted the reins slightly, causing Xue Po to slow down, and the two walked towards the checkpoint leisurely.

There is a lot of yellow sand all around, and an old man pushing a cart and a young child are walking hard on this official road.There are also some farmers driving cattle and holding hoes, passing by them.

Staying in a prosperous place like Yanjing, Gu Qing has been in contact with some high-ranking officials and dignitaries.Seeing these peasants suddenly at this moment, seeing their rough hands and feet, dark skin and thin bodies due to farm work, he couldn't help but sighed faintly.

"What's wrong with Qingqing?" Feng Hanxiu followed his gaze when he heard the sigh of the person in his arms.

At this moment, the old man pushing the scooter suddenly staggered, and fell to the side of the road together with the cart.The burlap bags on the cart also rolled down, and one of the bags was broken, and plump soybeans rolled out of it, spilling all over the floor.

The little boy who was following the old man ran over immediately, trying to help the old man up, but he tried a few times, but he had to give up because he couldn't make any effort, "Grandpa, are you okay?"

"Grandpa is fine." Hearing this, the old man shook his head lightly, wiped off the sweat from the poisonous sun, sat on the ground like this, and began to pick up the scattered soybeans one by one. stand up.

Seeing his grandfather like this, the little boy immediately squatted aside and began to pick up the soybeans.

Apart from Gu Qing and Feng Hanxiu, there were a few other passers-by who witnessed all this, but everyone just looked at the old man and the boy one more time, and then continued on their way as if nothing had happened.

"Xiu, shall we help them?" Seeing the old man's aging appearance, Gu Qing couldn't help thinking of his parents in another world, and an unspeakable sadness filled his chest.

Feng Hanxiu just looked at Gu Qing in surprise, then nodded, got off his horse, and the two walked towards the old man and the boy together.

The sudden shadow blocked the sun above his head, the old man raised his head suspiciously, and saw Feng Hanxiu standing in front of him.He couldn't care less about the soybeans all over the floor, and immediately bowed down to the two of them.

"Old man, what are you doing?" After getting closer, Gu Qing could clearly see the deep groove-like wrinkles on the old man's face.Seeing that the old man wanted to bow down, he immediately reached out to stop him.Holding the old man's skinny arm, a pair of beautiful eyebrows were unconsciously twisted together.

"The little old man didn't block the way on purpose, the two uncles let the little old man go!" The old man ignored Gu Qing's obstruction at all, and knocked his head on the ground with a "bang bang" sound.Although he didn't know much, but from the clothes of Feng Hanxiu and the two of them, he could also guess that these two people in Chinese clothes were not something farmers like him could afford to provoke.

Back then, he had witnessed with his own eyes the scene of someone blocking the way of these noble sons and being beaten to death.Right now, it is natural to regard Gu Qing and Feng Hanxiu as the same as those people.

"Old man, we don't mean anything malicious, you don't have to." Seeing that he couldn't stop him, Gu Qing simply let go.He didn't say much, just walked to the side and helped him push the cart that had fallen to the ground.

He still had the strength to lift up a wooden cart, but looking at the sacks of soybeans, Gu Qing felt a little helpless.So he looked at Feng Hanxiu pitifully, and the latter could only sigh helplessly, then resigned himself to his fate and loaded all the soybeans onto the cart.

I didn't expect that the majestic prince would one day be called upon like this.Seeing Feng Hanxiu's helpless look towards him, Gu Qing's big eyes instantly bent into beautiful crescent shapes.

The expected bad words did not appear, and the old man was stunned for a while. It seems that he really misunderstood the two noblemen in front of him.Immediately got up from the ground, and bowed to thank again.

"Old man, you don't have to be polite. You are so old, why are you running around with a child, where is your child?" Seeing the old man's fearful expression, Gu Qing felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

After all, he is a modern person who has received equal education. Facing the deep-rooted class concept and servility of the ancients, he always feels a little out of place.

Gu Qing's question made the old man pause, and then he bent down to pick up the soybeans on the ground, and said: "My son... is dead..." These short words are full of sadness and helplessness.

Gu Qing watched him hunched over to pick up beans on the ground, and for a moment couldn't bear to comfort him: "Old man, don't ask for these beans, they are scattered everywhere. You can't finish picking up the sunset!"

Hearing that the old man didn't stop his movements, he just said in a muffled voice: "The spilled beans can still be picked up by our father and mother for ten and a half months, so don't let it go to waste."

Seeing that he couldn't persuade the old man, Gu Qing could only look up at Feng Hanxiu. The latter sighed softly, took out a tael of broken silver from his pocket, and handed it to the old man, "Old man, this silver When I buy these beans, you take them, don't pick them up."

The old man looked at the one or two pieces of silver, rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and the hand holding the beans trembled slightly, as if he wanted to take it but dared not take it.

Seeing this, Gu Qing grabbed the broken silver from Feng Hanxiu's hand, and then forced it into the old man's hand, "Old man, take it!"

"Thank you two uncles! Thank you two uncles!" Holding the one or two pieces of silver in his hand, the old man wanted to kneel down to Gu Qing and the two again, but was stopped by Feng Hanxiu.

This end was blocked by Feng Hanxiu, and the old man immediately called out to the little boy beside him, "Goofy, hurry up and thank you two gentlemen!"

The little boy was also obedient, bowed down to Feng Hanxiu and the two, kowtowed a few times, and imitated his grandfather's words in a childlike voice, thanking him.It was not until Gu Qing pulled him up that he gave up.

"Where are the two brothers going?" After the old man took the money, Gu Qing and Feng Hanxiu did not leave immediately, but walked slowly towards the checkpoint with the old man.

At Gu Qing's insistence, the old man changed his name from "Master" to "Little Brother".He originally planned to push the cart for the old man, but the old man refused, so he could only walk slowly by his side, chatting while driving.

"I'm going to go to Xunlong Mountain to see the scenery. Is Uncle Feng planning to go to the town?" After chatting for a few words, Gu Qing and the two learned that his surname was Feng from the old man, and everyone in the town called him Old Man Feng. .Behind the Xunlong Mountain checkpoint, there are two roads, one leading to Xunlong Town and the other going up the mountain.

Seeing the old man pushing so many soybeans, Gu Qing guessed that he probably wanted to sell them in the town.

"Yeah, I'm going to sell these beans for some rice." When Old Man Feng mentioned rice, the timid little boy who had been following him all the time showed a greedy look on his face.

"The two brothers are planning to go up to Xunlong Mountain? But there is nothing to see on this mountain. There are bare stones everywhere, and the mountain road is very difficult to walk."

"I heard from my grandfather that he once heard from his grandfather... anyway, it was mentioned by the little old man's ancestors that Xunlong Mountain used to be very beautiful. But later, I don't know who angered the mountain god grandfather, so overnight, the mountain It became like this." After chatting for a few words, the clip of the farmer's words was opened, and he heard that the two of them were going to find Longshan, so he took out all the things he had heard about. .

When Gu Qing heard this, he actually met a person whose ancestors lived nearby, and immediately asked the old man with great interest.

Under Gu Qing's guidance, old man Feng told all the legends he had heard.

According to legend, many years ago, this Xunlong Mountain was not like this, but a mountain range covered by vast forests.At the foot of the mountain, there is a big river more than two meters wide, and the scenery is very beautiful.

But one day, it is said that in the village at the foot of the mountain, someone offended the mountain god, and then attracted heaven's punishment.Countless boulders fell from the sky, and the scorching red river flooded the entire mountain range.Wherever he went, raging fires were ignited, and the villages at the foot of the mountain were all burned down.

Countless people lost their lives under the fire and boulders.Only a very small number of people who were not in the village at the time escaped this punishment.After burning for more than a month, the fire was slowly extinguished.

From then on, it was difficult for trees to grow on Xunlong Mountain.The two-meter-wide river was also completely evaporated in this heavenly punishment.Only the bare riverbed and devastation remained.

Even the official road beside Xunlong Mountain is covered with yellow sand and not a single blade of grass grows because of the fire.

After listening to old man Feng's legend, Gu Qing couldn't help laughing.But he didn't say much, just said goodbye to the old man after passing the checkpoint, and then followed Feng Hanxiu into the Xunlong Mountain Range.

"Did Qingqing ever discover something?" Feng Hanxiu was surprised that Gu Qing was so interested in the unrealistic legends told by the old man before.Now that there were only the two of them left, they naturally asked this question.

Gu Qing nodded with a light smile, and said a little proudly: "Xiu, I'm sure now that there must be a place in this mountain range that has the emerald vein we are looking for!"

"Why are you so sure?" I knew that there was a vein of mine here, and that was because someone in the previous life discovered it by accident and reported it to the court.But Gu Qing said with such certainty that there are mineral veins here, which aroused Feng Hanxiu's curiosity.

"Because of that legend!" Gu Qing smiled mysteriously, he didn't know how to explain to Feng Hanxiu the result he inferred based on modern knowledge.The Heaven's Punishment, Huge Rock, and Red River that Old Man Feng was talking about, in his opinion, looked more like a scene of a volcanic eruption.

If this place really used to be an active volcano, then the possibility that there may be emerald veins is as high as 80%!

"Han Xiu, let's go to the dried up river bed first, shall we?" Gu Qing looked back at Feng Hanxiu, his big eyes shining with a moving brilliance.I didn't expect that I would be able to know such a thing in a moment of kindness.This is the so-called good people get rewarded, right?

"Okay." Gu Qing asked old man Feng about the topography of the area before, and Feng Hanxiu deliberately found a map before coming here, so the location of the dry riverbed is not difficult to find.

Riding his horse all the way to the edge of the river bed, Gu Qing jumped down, and then carefully inspected the edge of the dry river bed.Feng Hanxiu didn't know what he was thinking about, but he picked up a stone and smiled silly for a while, and frowned for a while, thinking that his little concubine must be bewitched by evil spirits, right?

Gu Qing walked more than ten meters along the river bed, looked at the stones on the edge of the river bed and in the river bed, the more he probed, the more the brilliance in his eyes became brighter.

According to what he learned in his last life, there is a high possibility that there are ore veins buried under the riverbed, but the quality of ore veins formed by drying in this kind of riverbed is generally not very good.It may only be the rough stone of bean seed or hibiscus seed when mined.

Even so, this discovery is enough to make Gu Qing excited.

At that moment, he quickly walked back to Feng Hanxiu's side, and asked him to mark the location of this section of the riverbed on the map.As for mining, we can only negotiate after they go back.

Although Feng Hanxiu wondered why Gu Qing was so sure that there were mineral veins in this area, he didn't ask much.Now that he has identified this person, he will believe him.Even if you are yourself, don't you have many secrets that you haven't told Gu Qing?

Then Gu Qing and Feng Hanxiu left the riverbed and walked up the mountain.Because of the change in geological appearance, this mountain road is indeed as old man Feng said, very difficult to walk, and there is no way for horses to go up.So Feng Hanxiu could only leave Xue Po at the foot of the mountain, and the two went up the mountain on foot.

After walking not far, Gu Qing started to be out of breath. He looked at Feng Hanxiu, who was not blushing and not panting, and then at his disheveled appearance, feeling unbalanced in his heart.After all, this guy is also a prince, right?This stamina...it literally beat him by several blocks.

Although he was exhausted to death, Gu Qing gritted his teeth and persisted.A mine vein that may produce low-grade jadeite is not enough to support their plan. He wants to help Feng Hanxiu, how can he be defeated in the face of such a small difficulty?

Feng Hanxiu had actually noticed Gu Qing's tired appearance a long time ago, but he deliberately didn't say anything, and wanted to wait for the little guy to act coquettishly and subdue himself.But unexpectedly, Gu Qing insisted on gritting his teeth again and again when he concluded that he couldn't hold on.

Until later, that stubborn appearance caused Feng Hanxiu's heart to ache, "Qingqing, come up." When Gu Qing stopped to breathe again, Feng Hanxiu finally couldn't bear it anymore and bent down She lowered her waist and made a look of wanting to carry him on her back.

But unexpectedly, Gu Qing refused without even thinking about it, "I can still go, but after walking so far, I still haven't found a place suitable for the formation of mineral veins. This broken mountain is too big!" Gu Qing looked up. Looking at the sky, they went up the mountain at noon, and the sun is about to sink, but they still haven't found the geographical environment that fits his mind, which makes Gu Qing unavoidably anxious.

"Don't be stubborn, come up quickly, I'll take you away, it will be faster." Feng Hanxiu's expression turned cold, he glanced at his trembling legs, pulled Gu Qing's hand towards him without saying a word Put it on your shoulders.

Gu Qing, who was forcibly pulled onto his back by Feng Hanxiu, gave up after thinking about it.His physical strength is indeed not enough to support him to run around like before, and now he still focuses on finding ore veins.It's just that he secretly vowed in his heart that he must exercise well after returning home!

Anyway, he is also a big man, so being carried on his back, even if this person is Feng Hanxiu, it still makes people feel a little bit hurt...
