After being transformed into the cannon fodder of a villain, I counterattacked and became the protag

The next day, Zhang Jinyue and Gu Yuncheng changed into light clothes, took some food and water, and went straight to the back mountain, and then passed through the back mountain to Mangshan Mountain.

Originally, Gu Yuncheng didn't agree to take Zhang Jinyue there, saying that the mountain was dangerous, but Zhang Jinyue refused to give up, made countless guarantees, and kept pestering her for a long time. Gu Yuncheng couldn't resist her and relented.

He Xiaohua and a few sisters who came for fun went into the mountains to pick mushrooms. They saw Zhang Jinyue and Gu Yuncheng walking side by side, talking and laughing, and stopped in their tracks.

Several girls who were traveling with him also saw it and were silent for a while. After the two of them walked over, they started talking quietly.

"Zhang Dalai's family is so thick-skinned!" He Xiaohua snorted and said angrily, "It's true that Gu Yuncheng has no temper at all after being plotted like this!"

Zhang Meilin secretly despised He Xiaohua's rudeness, but said, "I think you are jealous!"

He Xiaohua was silent for a moment and said what was in his heart, "Who in the village is not jealous, I don't believe you haven't thought about it!"

Zhang Meilin's face was stern and he warned her: "You are crazy. You dare to say anything to others. My daughter's family needs the face and reserve! Not to mention that you have already been engaged to Liu Butcher from the next village. You will be married this winter. It’s time to get married. If you let Butcher Liu know that you are still thinking of someone else, you will have to deal with it!"

He Xiaohua's face was still a little angry, but he finally said nothing.Butcher Liu had some wealth, and he had promised to treat her well before getting engaged, so he coaxed her and her mother into agreeing to him.

But Butcher Liu's occasionally violent temper and tendency to use his fists really made her worry that one day such a fist would fall on her.

The Gu family has a bigger fortune than Butcher Liu, and Gu Yuncheng himself is even more handsome. From his attitude towards Zhang Jinyue just now, it can be seen that he has a good temper. Such a comparison makes her feel as sour as a lemon.

Zhang Jinyue didn't know that this group of little girls were jealous, and even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care.

Because the back mountain is close to the village, villagers often come here to collect firewood and pick wild vegetables. Only wild animals with no eyes come here.If you want to gain something, you need to go further.

Walking further in, you will reach the border of Mangshan Mountain. It is a real deep mountain and old forest. Generally, only hunters will go there.

The mountains climb higher and higher, and the trees become thicker and thicker.The sunlight passes through the dense leaves and shines on the dark forest floor, showing small spots of light.

The two walked for a while, then the bamboo basket was filled with chestnuts, and a layer of mushrooms and wild vegetables was spread on top.

After climbing for a while, I found several wild grape vines around a piece of wet soil.This kind of wild grape is not as big as the grapes grown artificially in later generations, but it grows a lot and is heavy on the vines.

Zhang Jinyue picked a bunch, wiped it with the hem of his clothes, and dropped a green one into his mouth. His face suddenly twitched and his teeth hurt.The purple one has a sweet and sour taste, which is not as good as the later Kyoho grapes, but it is better in terms of its rich juice.People in the mountains usually pick these grapes and keep them for their own consumption. It is difficult to sell them at a high price, but they can be used to make wine.

Zhang Jinyue silently wrote down this address and planned to come back after a while to settle the matter at the shop. The grapes should be ripe by then and can be picked to make wine.

After climbing for a while, we finally reached the cave Gu Yuncheng was talking about.

The cave is not small, about ten meters wide and more than ten meters high. There is light within ten meters, but going inside is pitch black.

Fortunately, Gu Yuncheng was prepared. He opened the fire seal and blew on it, lighting up a small area in front of him.

There was a pile of gray-white gravel at his feet. Zhang Jinyue knelt down and picked up a piece at random. It was a gray crystal with a glass luster. It was indeed saltpeter.

She put down the bamboo basket behind her and began to put stones into the basket. Gu Yuncheng saw this and also helped, and soon the basket was full.

She struggled for a while, then squatted down and was about to pick it up when the bamboo basket was already on Gu Yuncheng's back.

He handed her the bamboo basket filled with wild vegetables, said "Let's go", and walked out first.Zhang Jinyue quickly followed.

It was fun when she first put it on, but she discovered a problem after putting it on - it was too heavy for her to carry!
This bamboo basket of stones was not light, but Gu Yuncheng was carrying it on his back and his steps were still steady. Zhang Jinyue was a little impressed.

The young man is so strong and strong!
Carrying heavy burdens, the two of them had no intention of staying and went straight down the mountain.

After returning to the yard and taking off the bamboo basket on his back, Zhang Jinyue felt alive.

Gu Yuncheng's head was also covered with beads of sweat. Zhang Jinyue went into the room to get a kettle and a bowl, with a handkerchief on his arm.

"Drink slowly." Zhang Jinyue poured a bowl of water and handed it to Gu Yuncheng. Seeing him drink it in one gulp, he handed over the handkerchief, "Wipe your sweat."

Gu Yuncheng was stunned for a moment, then slowly took the handkerchief and slowly wiped away the sweat.

Zhang Jinyue looked at it and felt that his movements were a little delicate for no reason, as if he couldn't let go of his hands and feet.

After resting for a moment, Gu Yuncheng regained his composure and stared at the pile of stones curiously: "This is the saltpeter you mentioned, can it be used to make ice?"

"Yes."

Zhang Jinyue went to the kitchen to find a basin, filled it with half a basin of water, put a piece of saltpeter in the basin, and poured a bowl of water in the middle of the basin.

After a while, I saw small drops of water forming on the edge of the bowl. As the saltpeter in the basin slowly dissolved, the water in the bowl also froze into ice.

Zhang Jinyue took out the bowl and handed it to Gu Yuncheng. He felt it, it was cold and icy, and then poked it with his finger. It was hard, and it was indeed ice!

"Is this also a recipe passed down from your ancestors?"

Zhang Jinyue was silent for a while and replied, "No, I accidentally saw this in an ancient book."

"Are you literate?" Gu Yuncheng was even more shocked.

Would a bad guy like Zhang Dalai send Zhang Jinyue to school?
Zhang Jinyue was silent for a longer time this time, and then said after a long time, "My grandfather was literate and he taught me a little bit when he was alive."

Gu Yuncheng also fell silent.

Zhang Jinyue accidentally let something slip. When she came back to her senses and wanted to make up for it, she found that the problems were one after another, and she had to tell more lies to make up one lie.

But when she explained more, it sounded more like there was no 300 taels of silver in this place.

He simply stopped talking.

The two of them had been working face to face for a long time, but Gu Yuncheng ended the matter with one sentence, "Now that we have the ice, what's next for the fruit drink?"

"Oh, I need fruit and fresh milk. Do you know where I can get some? I'll go out and buy some." Zhang Jinyue looked at Gu Yuncheng strangely after hearing this. Didn't he ask further questions?
If the other party gets to the bottom of it, she can only explain it as a dream from a god!
But this also reminded her that she needed to find a reasonable source for the modern knowledge in her mind.
