Happy pastoral sturdy little lady

Chapter 181 Good News 2
Grandma Tong was also deeply moved, and she admired sincerely: "This is really a good man is rewarded! A girl as good as Da Ya is rewarded if she is appointed. This is the blessing of the Bodhisattva, and it is also God's eye-opener!" She asked Shuisheng again: "Where's Da Ya and Mr. Shui? Why didn't you come back with you?"

"Sir, sit down and drink a glass of water." Seeing her husband running out of breath and covered in sweat, Gu Yu hurriedly pulled him to sit down with distress, and brought him a cup of herbal tea.

Shuisheng took the teacup, raised his neck and drank it down, and then told everyone the reason of the incident.

Gu Yu's face was full of sadness: "The depth of the cliff is higher than we expected before. Da Ya said in the letter that the basket at the end of the rope is actually still some distance from the ground, and Mr. Shui has to stand on tiptoe to get it off." Basket. However, this is not a big problem, you can put a stone under it, or dig some soil to fill the ground under the rope."

"Oh, my God, is it really that deep? Thinking about it, I feel dizzy." Grandma Tong couldn't sit still, and immediately got up and said, "No, I have to go to worship the Bodhisattva again, and pray to the Bodhisattva to bless them. Return safely!"

It is not an easy task to climb such a high cliff.One mistake, it is very likely to be smashed to pieces.Last time, the two of them were only injured, and they didn't lose their limbs, which is really lucky.Once again, you should not be so lucky!
Shui Sheng's face was full of sadness.

How to do it?What should I do so that nothing will go wrong?

Zhenxing suddenly said: "Auntie, can we tie a super-big pannier to the end of the rope so that Mother and Uncle Shui can sit in the pannier? In this way, we can prevent Mother and Uncle Shui from being scratched by sharp rocks It can make them a little easier and greatly reduce the danger!"

"Yeah, why didn't I think of it before? It's such a good idea!" Shui Sheng patted himself on the head, danced with joy, and said cheerfully, "I'll go down the mountain early tomorrow morning. If I can find Xiang Dong, Yunwu, and Tan Hai, that's fine. The three of them have good martial arts, and they can be a big help, and let them find a few good young and middle-aged people to help. In this case, Da Ya and Shui The odds of the young master coming up safely are at least [-]%!"

Zhenxing said: "I'll go with you, one more person will also have more helpers!" His attitude was very firm, as if "If you don't agree, I won't give up".

Gu Yu hurriedly said: "That's it, Zhenxing and I will go to Shanqian Village to find someone, and Xianggong will go to the town or the county to buy cables. There may not be anyone in Shanqian Village, maybe we will go to the nearby mountains to look for them. I am better than you in that area." I am familiar with it, I can probably guess where they seized the mountain, so it is most suitable for me to go!"

Shuisheng thought for a while, and agreed: "Okay, you must be more careful then!"There is definitely danger, but it should not be a big problem. After so long, the killer at the foot of the mountain should have withdrawn.As long as the killer withdraws, those generals should also withdraw, right?

Shui Qingqian once analyzed with Shui Sheng, saying that the garrison at the foot of the mountain is very likely to be inextricably related to those killers, and maybe those garrisons listened to the killer's instigation, and then surrounded the mountain.Otherwise, it's fine, why do you have to surround the mountains?Other than coming for him, the other reasons simply don't make sense!

Little Shitou also muttered about going down the mountain: "Father, I want to go together too, with multiple people and multiple helpers!"

"What are you going to do? You also went down the mountain, so what will you do if you leave your grandma and Nianyue behind? What if something happens to the people in the deep mountains and old forests, the old ones, the young ones, what do you ask them to do?" Shui Sheng resolutely The son's request was rejected.

Gu Yu also dissuaded: "Yes, your father is right, you stay at home and take good care of grandma and sister. After we leave, you don't go anywhere, just stay at home. If you get bored, just Grind some more rice noodles, and I will make pickled cabbage boxes for you when I come back!"

"Okay." Apart from nodding, Xiao Shishi had no other choice.

Yes, if even he is gone, what will grandma and sister do?Before, he was the one who was hotheaded and didn't think well enough.Now, he is more than ten years old and has grown up, so he can't add chaos to the family.

After discussing it, Gu Yu and Grandma Tong went to prepare dry food immediately.

Early the next morning, the three of them changed into half-worn clothes, each carried a backpack, and went down the mountain from a secret path.In the back basket, there are three days' rations, and two gourds, one big and one small.The big gourd holds boiled water, and the small gourd holds medicinal tea that can prevent colds and heatstroke.Candy, salted peanuts, dried fruit and fresh wild fruit, also brought a lot.

Everyone has a spare silver coin on their body.Shuisheng was going to buy the best cables, and he brought five 20 tael bank notes, three 100 tael bank notes, a few pieces of one tael and two tael silver, and a small bag of copper plates.Gu Yu and Zhenxing each brought three ten tael silver notes, a few pieces of one tael or two tael silver, and a small bag of copper plates.Nowadays, the price of goods is extremely high, and the kind of cables used in the sea are rare things in this Hulu County, so the price will definitely not be low.

These banknotes were taken by Zhenxing from the cash box in the secret room. He told Shuisheng and Gu Yu that his mother had kept them for him before.The two of them didn't think much about it, Da Ya always trusted the child very much, and got along with the child like a friend.It's not surprising that she gave the revitalization banknote.

Zhenxing didn't tell about the secret room, and he was still a little ashamed, but his mother also said that this secret room should not be leaked unless it is absolutely necessary.Even Gu Yu couldn't easily reveal it to her.

Niang said that there is a secret room known to outsiders, but there is no secret in this secret room.If Gu Yu knows, Shuisheng will probably know, and if Shuisheng knows, Grandma Tong will definitely know too.Grandma Tong knows everything, so it is impossible for that little stone not to know. In this way, more and more people will know in the future.For example, Xiao Shitou's wife, and Grandma Tong's natal brother and so on.

Zhenxing also knew that in order to build this secret room, Uncle Xiangdong had spent a lot of painstaking efforts and efforts.Therefore, he had to be cautious. Although he felt ashamed, he still withstood the pressure in his heart.At this moment, he suddenly felt that he seemed to have grown up all at once!
Perhaps, this is what my mother often said, hardships will make people grow up quickly, right?After experiencing the incident of his mother's disappearance, he seemed to understand many principles of life after being ignorant.The little bit of impatience on his body was completely wiped out, and his mind, perseverance and patience were all much stronger.

The three of them went down the mountain and found that there were a lot fewer garrisons nearby, only a few scattered mobile posts, which did not encircle the mountain like before.Shui Sheng was very familiar with the topography of this area, he led the two of them around in the woods, and soon walked out of the blockade.

I found a local uncle who went into the mountains to collect firewood and pick wild vegetables. It turned out that most of the garrison in this area had withdrawn, and there were less than 3000 people left.Moreover, these 3000 people were still scattered in various places, and many farmers who fled into the mountains returned to their villages.

The uncle sighed and said: "It is said that in the entire Hulu County, there are no more than [-] Huai King's troops at most, and the common people who fled everywhere can finally go home. However, this severe drought has come again, and the life of the common people is miserable! These hard days, I don’t know when it will end, but fortunately, our place is a mountainous area, and there are lush forests everywhere. Compared with other places, life is a bit easier, at least there is water to drink, and wild vegetables and fruits to eat.”

As the uncle was talking, he burst into tears for some reason, and then smiled again, wiped his tears, and continued the topic just now: "Unlike other places, I heard that they eat grass roots and bark. If it doesn't rain and there is no relief, I don't know what I will eat! Alas, God is really evil!"

The hand that wiped the tears was skinny, with bruised veins.His complexion was also very ugly, and it looked like he was malnourished, and he probably hadn't had a full meal for a long time.

When Gu Yu heard this, she felt very sad. She silently took out three pancakes from the basket and handed them to the uncle: "Master, give these pancakes to the old people and children in the family. Our family is not rich, so there are only so many pancakes. And please don’t be disgusted, sir!”

ah?Fragrant pancakes?
"Don't dislike it, don't dislike it! Thank you, you are such a good girl, the Bodhisattva will bless you safe and happy! These days, there are not many good people who are as kind as a girl!"

The uncle hurriedly took it gratefully, couldn't help swallowing hard, really wanted to take a bite!However, thinking of the little grandson who was sick at home, and the daughter-in-law who was about to give birth, he quickly put the pancakes carefully into the basket, and covered the pancakes with a layer of wild vegetables.

Gu Yu exchanged a few words with him, and learned that he had a sick grandson and a daughter-in-law who was about to give birth. After thinking about it, he took out two boiled eggs and some candies from the back basket: "Master, my nephew and I I’m going to visit relatives at my natal home today, and I’m going to bring these things to my natal sister-in-law. My natal sister-in-law is confinement, and I have to give gifts, so I can only give you this.”

The uncle was so moved, he felt ashamed in his heart: "Oh, this is for a wedding gift? I can't take it. If I want it, wouldn't I be a greedy person?"

These gifts are all fixed.If there is less, the other party will definitely resent.They met by chance, and they had already received favors from others before, but they couldn't cause such a good person to be resented by their natal family.

Gu Yu quickly said: "Master, it doesn't matter. I will explain to my natal family, they are all reasonable people and won't care about me. You just accept it, this woman who is about to give birth should eat better , so that the child in the belly can grow stronger."

The uncle was so moved that he didn't know what to say. He suddenly remembered something and said quickly: "Where are you going? Is the road very far? If it is far, I will give you a ride in a donkey cart. How about it?"

"Hey, uncle's family has a donkey cart? Yes, yes! Then please help me to deliver it, we are going to Mengjiazhuang, thank you first!" There is a donkey cart for riding, and Gu Yu is simply wishing for it.

"Oh? Mengjiazhuang, this road is not close. It's not easy to walk on two feet! How about it, I'll go back to the village to catch a donkey cart and give you a ride!" The old man said cheerfully. , At the moment, I didn’t plan to fight firewood anymore, and carried a small basket of wild vegetables on my back, turned around and left: "My house is not far ahead, a village called Nanshan'ao, you go and drink with my house!"

Gu Yu exchanged opinions with Shuisheng, and Shuisheng said: "Alright, then thank you sir, I actually have to go to the county seat today, if you can send me to the county seat, how about I give you three hundred dollars for the round trip? "

"Okay, of course!" The uncle was overjoyed, how could he return the door-to-door business?Originally, he used to use a donkey cart to pull people from nearby villages to the market on market days, earning a little money to supplement his family.

If you go to the county once, you can earn [-] yuan. This is a great thing. How can there be any reason to extrapolate?Although, today's prices are extremely high, and three hundred dollars can only buy two catties of cornmeal.However, now that the family has run out of food for a long time, the eight members of the family can barely fill their stomachs with wild vegetables and wild fruits.There are two catties of cornmeal, which is very good. This is life-saving food!
