Chapter 62 The Orchid of Hades that can be exchanged for a house

After watching Gu Xiaotian, Ye Dabao left Gu's house.

After waving goodbye to him, Gu Zhi glanced at Gu Yun, who was standing aside with an ugly expression.

"What? Can't bear to part with that piece of candy?"

Gu Zhi's slow words made a small fire rise in Gu Yun's heart. She endured it and raised a forced smile at her.

"No - I just feel a little unwell -"

Gu Zhi covered his mouth and said in surprise: "Cousin, you are not feeling well, why didn't you let Dr. Gu take a look at you just now? Your health is important——"

"Thank you for your concern, cousin. I'm in good health——"

She finished speaking through gritted teeth and quickly returned to the house.

Now she was alone here, and Gu Zhi slowly smiled.

Looking out from here, you can see the miraculous mountain in the distance.

This is the time when the forest is lush and green, and the forest is full of dangers, and a wild animal may appear out of nowhere.

She had been thinking about whether to go in and take a look when she came yesterday. Now that she was alone, she thought this was an opportunity.

After hurriedly tidying up, I told Xiao Bai Xiaole that I had something to go out and asked them to stay here, and then I went out carrying the old backpack in the corner of the house.

The thing called the plant detector in her space hasn't been put to use yet, so I'll give it a try.

Most of the people in the village are working in the fields at the moment, and only a few lazy people and children stay at home.

On the road, I met Uncle Chen, the owner of the canteen, and both of them were stunned.

Uncle Chen squinted his eyes and looked at her. Afterwards, surprise slowly appeared on his face: "Xiao Zhi? Are you back? When did it happen?"

Gu Zhi thought about it for a moment. He was Uncle Chen from his mother's generation, and he seemed to love her very much?
  "I came back yesterday. Are you planning to go to the canteen?"

This place is close to the back mountain. When I came here just now, I saw a sign at the canteen saying that I was out of town temporarily.

It looks like he just came from the back mountain?

Gu Zhi didn't understand. The atmosphere around Uncle Chen was a little sad. He felt better after seeing her. Could it be that there was something behind the mountain?

Uncle Chen smiled with emotion: "What is the character of the person you marry? Is he someone worth trusting?"

Gu Zhi couldn't bear to be rude to him and nodded: "He has good conduct and is a gentleman."

After hearing what she said, Uncle Chen's eyes flashed with tears.

"That's good, that's good -"

Uncle Chen seemed to be lost in memories. Gu Zhi waited patiently for a moment. Soon Uncle Chen came back to his senses and smiled at her sheepishly.

"I'm so sorry. I can't help feeling sad about spring and autumn when I get older. Are you going to go into the mountains? Come and see your mother by the way. You haven't been there for a long time. She misses you--"

This time it was Gu Zhi's turn to be stunned, "Me, my mother?"

Uncle Chen nodded: "Yes, your mother's tomb is halfway up the mountain, and the road is a bit far, but she will definitely be very happy if you go to see her."

He seemed very happy as he said that, looking at her with a smile.

Gu Zhi felt an indescribable emotion in his heart and expressed his gratitude to Uncle Chen.

Looking at Gu Zhi's back, Uncle Chen sighed.

"Seeing Xiaozhi living a happy life, Aru, you must be happy too——"

Mumbling to himself, he didn't know who to tell. He couldn't help but look to his side, as if the girl with a beautiful smile was still there.

  Walking straight up the mountain, the yellow grass stems that have been stepped out in the grass have become the road.

Following the yellow color all the way up and in the direction Uncle Chen pointed, Gu Zhi soon came to a very quiet open space.

A tombstone stands quietly here.

There is not a single weed around it, indicating that someone is cleaning it frequently.

Looking at the tombstone silently, the three characters Gu Junru were extremely prominent on it.

Gu Zhi took out a bouquet of white lilies from the space and placed it in front of the tombstone.

Gently stroking the body of the monument, she clasped her hands together.

"Mom, I'm here to see you."

One person and one monument enjoyed a moment of tranquility, and then Gu Zhi quietly left, just as quietly as when he came quietly. Gu Zhi relieved his heavy heart and took out the ring.

As soon as she took it out, it started to glow, and a beam of green light guided her to the left and forward direction.

Putting down the surprise in his heart, Gu Zhi immediately headed over there without stopping.

The light became darker and darker the further they went, until they came to a stream, and Gu Zhi didn't stop.

The green beam of light pointed at the budding black orchid in front of it. With just one glance, Gu Zhi couldn't help but hold his breath.

It is a special variant of ghost orchid.

The smell of decaying vegetation hit the tip of his nose, but Gu Zhi slowly approached the isolated orchid as if he hadn't heard it.

Suddenly, a red light flashed out of the corner of his eyes. Gu Zhi's brows froze, alarm bells rang in his heart, he ducked sideways, and quickly took out a dagger and slashed it.

The bright silver snake teeth flashed past Gu Zhi's eyes, and when he looked closely, he saw it was a venomous young red belly.

At this moment, the two halves of it were squirming on the ground, and the bright red gurgling out stained the ground under her feet.

Gu Zhi's back was already covered in cold sweat. He stared at the red belly and stroked his chest with lingering fear.

Fortunately, she reacted quickly, otherwise she would have had to explain it here.

Poisonous snakes are full of treasures. Adhering to the principle of not wasting it, Gu Zhi thought about it and dissected it with a knife.

After putting it in the space to keep it fresh, Gu Zhi turned back to look at the ghost orchid.

The ghost orchid is called the ghost orchid, the orchid of the underworld. Because it is extremely rare, it is almost invisible in later generations.

It is said that you can exchange it for a house?
  Gu Zhi chuckled.

Who knows? Anyway, she was determined not to sell such precious flower seeds.

Carefully transplant it into the space with a small shovel.

The moment it landed in the space, she didn't know if it was her imagination, but she could vaguely see that Guillam was much more energetic than before.

After taking a closer look, Gu Zhi felt relieved.

So beautiful——

Gently caressing the leaves of its mandible, Gu Zhi came out of the space.

Raising his hand, the plant detector that was doing important things in silence began to shine again.

Gu Zhi only felt that his whole body was full of motivation.

After working for a while, I found some common and uncommon medicinal materials.

There is no more plant comparable to that ghost orchid.

After planting the ginseng in his hand in the space, Gu Zhi had time to look at the sky outside. It was already dusk.

He clapped his hands, took off the ring and put it into the space.

There are some wild vegetables in the basket on the back, such as mountain fungus and the like.

You can't spend an entire afternoon in the mountains and find nothing, right?

After getting ready, Gu Zhi went down the mountain.

Back in the village, many people started preparing dinner, and the aunt they knew greeted Gu Zhi with a surprised look on their face.

"Hey Gu Zhi, are you back?"

The person who spoke was the aunt of the Gu family, called Mrs. Gu Chen.

Gu Zhi smiled at her: "I came back yesterday."

Mrs. Gu Chen looked at her backpack, which was full of wild vegetables, and her eyes were even more surprised.

"You went into the mountains and got so many wild vegetables?"

Gu Zhi nodded good-naturedly: "Yes, I went to the center. There are a lot of game there!"

As she said this, she scratched her head in embarrassment: "It's a pity that I didn't bring any tools, otherwise I could have caught some."

The hare and pheasant lying upright in the space said: "Listen to me and thank you."
