Chapter 45 There is a small town next to Blue Moon Lake

Gu Shi nodded, and the two entered the front yard and Huang Liuye's study. After sitting down, Huang Liuye first talked about the female corpse dug out of the house.
  "It's also thanks to the girl that Huang found out the reason for his poor heirs. I feel ashamed to say that..."

Huang Liuye sighed,

"This is also the romantic debt Huang owed when he was young. That woman was the concubine I took into my house many years ago. Her ancestors were also cultivators, but by her generation they had long since declined, and she was the only one left in the family. When Huang met her, he felt sorry for her being alone, so he took her into his house. Huang also doted on her for a while..."

The story of the backyard of the mansion is also the same, except that the woman was favored and was jealous of Mrs. Huang, so she drugged her to death, buried her body in the backyard, and spent a large sum of money to send away a libertine in the city. When Huang Liuye returned home, he said that the concubine had run away with the man. Huang Liuye was so angry that he sent people to search everywhere, but they could not find him. After that, as time went by, he forgot about the matter, and Huang Liuye The madam did not expect that this woman was pregnant. Burying her body in the backyard created a hidden danger for the Huang family. Even after so many years, she could not give birth to a son herself, and none of her concubines gave birth. For my son, a concubine finally gave birth to a daughter with all her life, but she was always sick. This is also retribution!
  After hearing this, Gu Shiyi thought to himself,

"It seems that the jade medal should be the family heirloom of that woman. I have settled such a big matter for Mr. Huang Liu, so receiving a jade medal is not much!"

He nodded immediately and said,
  "Now that the matter is over, the Sixth Master's house will definitely have more people imported from now on, and the population will be prosperous!"

Huang Liuye stood up and saluted Gu Shiyi.

"Thanks to Miss Gu for all this!"

After saying that, he clapped his hands and called people,

"Come here, bring in the thank you gift I prepared for Miss Gu!"

At that moment, several servants entered the study room with trays in their hands, and placed the trays on the desk one by one. Huang Liuye pointed at the gold and silver on them, and there were three more kraft paper deeds.
  "Here is a hundred taels of gold, a thousand taels of silver, a house, and two shops. Please don't dislike it, girl, and be sure to accept it!"

Big money!

Gu Shiyi's eyes lit up when he saw it, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He wanted to take these things, but when he thought of what he had to do, the flesh on his face twitched in pain. After a while, he gave a wry smile to Huang. Master Liu said,

"Sixth Master, to tell you the truth, I really want to accept these things from you..."

"Then accept it. If you don't accept it, Huang will feel uneasy!"

Gu Shiyi still smiled bitterly,

"But... I am a person who has traveled far and wide. Accepting this yellow and white thing will damage my morality..."

Damn it!

She was afraid that she had to take her own life, but not spend her life!
  Huang Liuye didn't know whether it was a real letter or a fake letter, but he had a look of great admiration on his face.

"The girl is indeed an expert!"

Gu Shiyi smiled bitterly again,
  "If Master Six really wants to thank me, why not do something for Gu..."

"Oh……"

Huang Liuye's face became solemn when he heard this.
  "Girl, please tell me, although I, Huang Liu, am not a big shot in Blue Moon City, if the girl needs it, I must try my best to get it!"

Gu Shiyi waved his hand and said,
  "It's not that I want anything, I'm just begging Huang Liuye to think of a way to let me go to the Sun family. Whether I'm a handyman or a cook, let me enter the yard of the eldest young lady of the Sun family. Do something here!”

Huang Liuye was stunned when he heard this.
  "This one……"

He thought for a while and said,
  "Please forgive Huang for being so presumptuous. May I ask the girl why this is happening?"

Gu Shiyi told the excuse he had thought of earlier.

"Sixth Master is a generous and righteous man. I have received the favor of saving my life from him, and I don't dare to deceive him. In fact, my master who practices in seclusion has some connections with the eldest young lady of the Sun family. I am going down the mountain this time. There is an old incident involving the old man here, which involves the secrets of the master and the old man. I can’t say more to the sixth master. I can only promise the sixth master that it won’t be anything harmful to anyone!”

When she said this, she naturally asked Mr. Huang Liu for help, and she wanted to show him that he would not cause trouble and harm the other party!

After Huang Liuye heard this, Shen Ling nodded and said,
  "This fact is not difficult. The Sun family and the Gu family in Blue Moon City will recruit servants into the house every one or two months. It is naturally not difficult to arrange for the girl to go. Firstly, I am afraid of wronging the girl, and secondly, I have to go out of my way to I'm afraid it will take some effort to arrange for the girl to go to the young lady's yard, but I ask the girl to tolerate me for a few days!"

Gu Shiyi was overjoyed when he heard this and stood up to salute.

"Then I'll spare the trouble for Mr. Huang Liu!"

Huang Liuye returned the gift,
  "Girl, you're welcome!"

After the matter was settled, Gu Shiyi said to Huang Liuye again,

"Now that I have arrived at Blue Moon City, I want to take a look at Blue Moon Lake. I want to go out of town today and will come back in five days to hear the news from Master Liu..."

Then he declined Huang Liuye's proposal to send someone to escort him. He only needed a few banknotes and left the Huang Mansion carrying a small baggage by himself.

Gu Shiyi relied on his childhood memories and walked all the way out of Blue Moon City towards Blue Moon Lake. After leaving the city gate and reaching a sparsely traveled road, Li Yaner came out to ask Gu Shiyi,

"Eleven, are you going to the Gu family?"

Gu Shiyi was silent for a while before answering,
  "I want to go back quietly for a look, and then go to Sun's house..."

She wanted to find out who the eldest young lady of the Sun family was!
  You should know that even if ordinary people lose their children, they can still find them based on birthmarks or looks. However, although a cultivation family like the Gu family is not a very powerful sect, after every child is born, they will The mark of her family is planted on her body to prevent someone from confusing her bloodline. So how did the eldest lady of the Sun family deceive everyone in the Gu family?
  Gu Shiyi was very confused.

"I want to figure it out!"

It's one thing that she doesn't care about the position of the eldest daughter of the Gu family, but to be replaced by someone and enjoy the honor of her as the eldest daughter of the Gu family, this is another homecoming. It's okay if she didn't know it before, but now she knows it. No matter what, you have to find a way to figure it out! Gu Shiyi walked on the spacious road for a while. He saw a group of young men in coarse cloth in front, so he caught up with them in a few steps and followed them not far away. Others passing by took a look and thought they were her. I'm with this group of people.

This avenue is the only way from Blue Moon City to the small town next to Blue Moon Lake. Most of the people coming and going are carriages pulling Blue Moon Stone at the bottom of the lake. The grooms who drive the carriages are all tall and tough. There were burly men with beards, and a few carriages were occupied by ordinary craftsmen working by the lake. There were also a few people like Gu Shiyi who were walking on foot, all of whom were going to Blue Moon Lake to find work.

The five young men carrying baggage in front of Gu Shiyi were chattering all the way.

"I heard from my third brother that you can earn eight taels of silver a month by breaking stones in Blue Moon Lake, which is quite a lot. It's much better than doing crops at home!"

"Isn't that right? You're still in charge of food. It's said that there are three meals a day, and one of them includes meat..."

"Who did you listen to when you have meat to eat?"

The person who asked the question was a lean little man. When he heard that there was meat, his eyes immediately lit up, and his companions laughed at him.
  "Feng Gou'er, you are really the reincarnation of a dog, your mouth is watering just listening to meat!"

Feng Gou'er wasn't annoyed either, he smiled and said,

"As you know, my family is so poor that we can only have one meal of meat during the Chinese New Year. If I could go there and have one meal of meat every day, it would be a magical life!"

My companions laughed when they heard this,
  "You are such a good-for-nothing kid. How can you live like a god just by eating some meat?"

"I heard from my second grandfather that an ordinary stonemason eats meat for three days. If you want to eat meat every day, you can dive and touch stones..."

"Really? Then I'll touch the rocks. I know water, and my water properties are pretty good!"

Feng Gouer looked excited, but Gu Shiyi behind him frowned.
  She was born in the Gu family, and although she left home at a young age, she had learned a lot about her family's business since she was a child, and she had heard a lot of talk from her elders about the business she did at home. The stones in Blue Moon Lake are said to be easy to pick. , it’s just a matter of diving into the lake and touching the stone. After touching it, the stonemason by the lake used a hammer and chisel to break open the ordinary stone wrapped on the surface, and inside was the fist-sized blue moon stone.

It’s hard to say that it’s difficult to harvest, because the water in Blue Moon Lake is different from ordinary lake water. It’s not drinkable and will sink when it enters the water. Although it’s not as good as the legendary weak water Luo Yu can sink, it’s like Feng Gou’er. The young man got into the water. If he wanted to get out of the water again, it would take a lot of energy.

What's more, when they enter the water, they have to carry two large bamboo baskets around each person's waist. After entering the water, they have to fill them with stones. This makes it more difficult to swim ashore. Therefore, they are buried at the bottom of the lake every year because of touching stones. There are so many people in the world, so after thousands of years, there are countless unjust ghosts in Blue Moon Lake. In the past, Gu Shiyi heard his elders say,

"The stones in Blue Moon Lake are all transformed by the souls of innocent people!"

This Feng Gou'er looks so thin and wants to do the masonry work, I'm afraid...

Feng Gouer's companion obviously knew the danger in the lake, so he advised him,
  "Touching stones is risking your life. Why don't you just knock stones by the lake with us? Although you will earn less, eating meat once in three days is already pretty good!"

Feng Gouer said,

"I also know that touching stones is dangerous, but my mother is sick, and I want to earn more money to go home and see a doctor for my mother!"

When he said this, everyone fell silent...

Gu Shiyi followed this group of people into the town.

The tallest, largest and most extensive house in this small town by Blue Moon Lake is the Gu family's house, but only family members and servants live there. The Gu family who really devote themselves to cultivation are all near Blue Moon Lake. There is an unnamed mountain. Because the people who built caves on it are the Gu family, people in the town call that mountain Gu Mountain.

When Gu Shiyi entered the town, he felt a sense of familiarity coming over him.

"This place is no different than when I left!"

Twenty-five years have passed, and the town by Blue Moon Lake is still the same. The largest house belongs to the Gu family, located in the center of the town. The concubines and the big stewards’ homes are surrounded by the outside, and the small stewards’ houses are outside. Outside are many shops and shops. The outermost edge of the town is the shacks built for mortal craftsmen. The areas are low and damp. A road passes through the middle, which can lead directly to the center of the town. However, if there is no access token, there is no way. Fazi passed through the little steward's floor and entered the inner area.

Gu Shiyi followed the group of young people into the town and watched them go to the shacks to find acquaintances. He walked further inside and found an inn to stay at. It was already dark and there were very few lights outside the town. , that's because the craftsmen living there were reluctant to use oil lamps, and the further they walked in, the brighter the lights became. The Gu family's mansion was even more brilliantly lit, and every corner of the house was illuminated.

Gu Shiyi walked leisurely on the streets of the small town with his hands behind his back, but in fact his eyes were scanning the faces of the passersby, as if he wanted to find a familiar face among them, and he walked unconsciously. We arrived at a very lively street.

Gu Shiyi smiled slightly when he saw those women with heavy makeup...

In the secular world, gambling and gambling have always been indiscriminate. This small town next to Blue Moon Lake has gathered a large number of craftsmen. Many of their hard-earned money are taken back to support their families, but there are also many people who have money. The hand must be delivered to a woman in a flower house, or to a gambling house where gambling is in full swing. There are such businesses on both sides of this street in the town. Gu Shiyi followed the old Taoist priest " "Informed and well-informed." Entering such a street, she looked as calm as entering her own vegetable garden. When she met the flower house woman who came to solicit business, she looked up and down and made comments.
  "Little lady, the powder on your face is too thick... tsk tsk tsk... are there wrinkles at the corners of your eyes?"

So it’s not a young lady, it’s an old lady!

"Oh... your flower house is the first one in this town. It's so impressive. How much money do you need for the night?"

"Too expensive! Too expensive... Such goods are only worth a penny..."

When the girls in the flower house were so angry that they were about to beat them up, she slipped into the casino and squeezed in. Suddenly she saw a familiar person. After looking at it for a long time, she finally remembered who it was.
  "This is the third brother of my third uncle's family, my cousin Gu Yongping..."

In fact, Gu Shiyi's name is not Gu Shiyi. In terms of generation, she should be called Gu Wenqian. Although she is the eldest daughter, she is the eleventh child born in the Gu family, so she is called Shi. One, and this Gu Yongping is ranked ten. His family calls him Gu Laoshi. He bullied Gu Shiyi a lot when he was a child.

Gu Shiyi retreated to the corner and watched with cold eyes as Gu Lao Shi crowded around the gambling table, his face turned red and his ears were red while gambling. With his eyes fixed on the gaming table, no one paid attention to him, so he quietly poked his head out of Gu Shiyi's chest and asked curiously,
  "How many children are there in your family?"

That is Old Ten, this is Eleven. Are there twelve, thirteen, and twenty?

Speaking of this, Gu Shiyi looked helpless.

"That's a lot...our family is a big family..."
