The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 29 Adventure
Speaking of the courtyard where Su Yunduo's family lives now, there is also a story.

The original owner of this yard was surnamed Zhang. Not only did all the men in the family have big beards, but they were all tall and thick. Even the women in the family were taller and burlier than the women in the neighborhood. They didn't look like ordinary people. .

In addition, after the family settled in Geshan Village, they hadn't seen them buying land nearby for several years, let alone going out to do business, but they lived in a very affluent life. Whether it is good or not can be seen by looking at the clothes of this family.

As a result, there are various legends about this family in the village, and the most widely spread is the gangster who washed his hands in the golden basin of this family.

The village keeps this family at a respectful distance. Maybe this family really has some dark secrets. After living in Geshan Village for so many years, I have never seen them getting close to any family in the village. Even the bustling mountain roads are becoming more and more deserted. .

Two years ago, accidents happened to this family one after another. The whole family died and left. When the last person disappeared, the yard was empty.

Soon there were various legends in the village, and some people even heard a woman crying in the yard in the dead of night. The rumor that the yard was haunted spread widely in Geshan Village.

If it weren't for the fact that Su Yunduo's family had nowhere to go, this dilapidated courtyard would probably remain empty until it completely collapsed.

Speaking of it, Su Yunduo didn't seem to mention this in her memory, and she didn't know what would be behind the overlapping low bushes.

Before this yard was built, at least half of the folks in Geshan Village went up to the mountain to collect firewood and dig wild vegetables from this side—the mountain.

Ever since this courtyard was built and lived in such a legendary bandit family, the women first kept a respectful distance from others, and gradually the men stopped going up the mountain from this side. For adventure, almost no one else comes here, and over time the mountain road here is covered with small shrubs.

The location of this courtyard is at the northernmost part of Geshan Village, and it is a bit far away from the mountain path in the southeast of the village. If you go up the mountain from the southeast path, it will take half a cup of tea longer than going up the mountain directly from the back of the courtyard. This is The reason why Su Yunduo hesitated after leaving the gate of his courtyard.

With the small bodies of their siblings, even if they can get firewood from the southeast path into the mountains, they won't be able to carry much on their backs.

"Sister, what's the matter?" Su Zexuan couldn't help asking curiously seeing Su Yunduo standing in front of the courtyard gate looking left and right with a look of uncertainty on his face.

"Oh, it's nothing, I was just wondering if we can go up the mountain from here." Su Yunduo said and pointed to the small mountain road behind the courtyard that was no longer a road.

"Going up the mountain from this side?" Su Zexuan's eyes lit up in vain at first, and then quickly darkened: "But no one has walked this side for a long time, and the original road is overgrown with bushes and weeds, making it very difficult to walk! "

Su Zexuan still has one thing to say, that is, weeds are overgrown and no one has been around for a long time, so it is inevitable that there will be some bad things. It is close to the village, and there will be no big beasts, but snakes are inevitable, he remembered. What Su Yunduo is most afraid of is snakes, which has a lot to do with Su Yunduo being frightened by snakes by Su Yunying and Su Zeliang when he was a child.

"Are you afraid?" Su Yunduo asked seriously, looking directly into Su Zexuan's eyes.

Su Zexuan shook his head: "We have lived in the haunted house, so there is nothing to be afraid of."

"Then let's go up the mountain from here today! Let's go, my sister will take you on an adventure!" After getting Su Zexuan's answer, Su Yunduo smiled, and stopped entangled, and walked to the back of the courtyard with a wave of his little hand.

From the first day he lived in this courtyard, Su Yunduo wanted to open a road up the mountain in his backyard, but now that Ren Xiaoliwei was busy looking for food, he didn't take action.

Today, with Su Zexuan accompanying her, and going up the mountain to collect firewood, it is naturally best to go up the mountain from here.

Su Yunduo knew in his heart that even though this was the way up the mountain originally, but no one has walked around for years, it must be very difficult for their siblings to re-open the road, so let's just check it out first, there will be nothing wrong harm.

At least there is always firewood!

Every household in the village needs firewood. How much firewood is there for people to pick up in the mountains near the southeast of the village? With their small bodies, she and Su Zexuan really have to work harder than others to collect as much firewood from the mountains in the southeast. .

On the contrary, this side has been uninhabited for a long time, and the trees are much more luxuriant than those in the southeast. If no one picks them up for a long time, there will definitely be a lot of dry firewood. Thinking about Su Yunduo like this makes him even more excited.

"Sister, do we really go up the mountain from here?" Seeing Su Yunduo walking towards the back of the courtyard, Su Zexuan asked in disbelief even though he hurriedly followed.

"Of course it's true, haven't we already gone up the mountain!" Su Yunduo turned his head and raised an eyebrow at Su Zexuan, the joy on his face also brought out the innocence that had been suppressed in Su Zexuan's heart for a long time, and his footsteps He seemed to be jumping a bit, thinking of the snake that might be hiding in the weeds, Su Zexuan's footsteps became a little more pleasant, and he was about to overtake Su Yunduo soon.

Su Yunduo only treated Su Zexuan as a child, and stretched out his hand to hold Su Zexuan to prevent him from going forward. While telling him not to trip over the weeds, he took out the machete in his hand and split the shrubs and weeds that were in the way.

The siblings worked together to overcome obstacles, but they didn't encounter too many difficulties, and they reached the halfway up the mountain.

Su Yunduo was struggling with the small bushes on the side of the road, when he heard Su Zexuan's joyful voice: "Sister, look at the dry firewood there!"

Su Yunduo straightened up, followed Su Zexuan's finger to look over, and sure enough, a lot of dry firewood had been poured under several big trees!
Few people come here, so there is naturally a lot of firewood, haha, it is a wise choice to go up the mountain to collect firewood from here!

The siblings quickly picked up a lot of dry firewood. When the siblings were so tired, they finally stopped to rest. Looking at the pile of dry firewood like a hill, you couldn't help but look at me and I looked at you!

Just relying on the two of them, this pile of dry firewood might have to be carried on the back ten times or eight times.

If there are no obstacles along the way, Su Yunduo thinks the best way is to tie up the firewood and push it down the mountain directly, but how can she think so lightly about obstacles of all sizes along the way? !
With a faint sigh in his heart, Su Yunduo took Su Zexuan to find a relatively open place to rest for a while and recover some energy before making plans.

Su Yunduo chose a good place, with a wide view, and the small yard at the foot of the mountain is clear at a glance.

What Su Yunduo's sister and brother never expected was that this sight brought her to a completely different scenery from usual, and this trip decided on the spur of the moment gave her unexpected gains.
