Mountain People

Chapter 60: Go to Linhai County again, butler Zhang's request

    In the blink of an eye, it is midsummer. Although it is not that hot in the mountains, the sun is very poisonous at noon.

    The house of the Qin family and Zuo Qingsong has been built, and now the only thing left is to enclose the fields. The group had been busy for ten days and finally used up all the bricks. At this time, the field had already surrounded the height of an adult's chest.

      After getting up, he immediately went into the mountains to hunt, got a deer and a wild boar, and sent them all to the Dong family because he was grateful for the help of the Dong family.

    Gu Shuixiu and Dong Chenghu refused to accept it.

    Uncle Qin immediately became anxious, "Don't think that I don't know, the number of bricks you gave is wrong, more than half, and the price of the blue bricks is good, you are so greedy, isn't it? It’s cheap, if you don’t accept these deer and boars, you’ll look down on us!”

    Uncle Qin’s words are serious, Dong Chenghu has no choice but to take these two big guys. Now the weather can’t let go, Dong Chenghu simply dealt with the deer and pulled out the deer skin After drying, you can make moccasin boots later. Shuixiu said that moccasin boots are waterproof.

    Deer antler and deer **** can be received as medicinal herbs. The deer blood is processed by Gu Shuixiu and soaked into deer blood medicinal wine, and the remaining venison is all made into venison jerky or bacon strips.

    The wild boar was transported by Dong Chenghu to Linhai County alone, and then sold to Zhang Mansion for seven or eight taels of silver, and the venison and deer whip was also bought for a dozen taels of silver. The money of the Qin family is almost equal to the money that the Qin family and Zuo Qingsong built a house.

    Dong Chenghu simply made up his own mind and ordered some furniture for the two families to send over, or he felt uneasy.

    Hao's family didn't say how happy they were when they saw the furniture, their family's money had to be saved for their two sons to marry wives. It's time to do it again, Dong Chenghu is now a gift to others' hearts.

      The furniture for the three houses is all furnished, and the wood is only ordinary, sturdy and durable, and the total cost is 12 taels, and we have 8 taels left."

    Dong Chenghu was afraid that Gu Shuixiu would be unhappy, so he confessed a little uneasy about what he had done first.

    Gu Shuixiu laughed when she heard the words, "We got eight taels of silver, enough, so they feel better, we are also at ease, and we can still do things smoothly, you are more and more good at handling things now. "

    Dong Chenghu received Gu Shuixiu's compliment, and was as happy as a child eating candy. It took a long time for him to calm down.

     "There is one more thing, saying it may make you unhappy, but if you don't say it, I feel uneasy." Dong Chenghu struggled for a long time and decided to tell Gu Shuixiu everything.

    "This time I went to Linhai County and found that there were many more displaced people in the county after a winter, and many displaced people were begging on the streets, and many shops in the county were closed. The restaurant is also deserted.

    I just went directly to Zhang Mansion to find Butler Zhang to sell wild boars, you know? I haven't seen each other for more than half a year. Butler Zhang seems to be a dozen years older, with more white hair on his head than our father. I was very shocked at the time, but I didn't dare to ask. Butler Zhang didn't say anything. When he saw that I was going to sell prey, he warmly greeted me.

    I asked why you didn't follow me, and I said it was inconvenient for you to go out when you have children. Butler Zhang was not in a dilemma. After weighing the boar, he paid the money happily, but before I left, he said something very strange, which I still don't understand. "

    Gu Shuixiu's heart sank, she only felt that something was going on inside, her face became a little dignified, "What did he say?"

    " He said that things are about to change, so don't go out in the future. He also asked me where I was going to go, and I said I would go to a drugstore to sell medicinal materials. Butler Zhang asked which drugstore it was. I didn't say anything more. In the end, he still had an unkind request, saying that he hoped that I could go to the medicine store that sells medicine in four months. He would leave an important thing there. If I have the heart, I will Take care of him for a while.

    Shuixiu, do you think something happened to Butler Zhang? How do you speak strangely? I thought that when we first arrived in Linhai County, it would be hard to refuse if housekeeper Zhang took care of our business. Do you think I will go or not in four months? "

    Gu Shuixiu doesn't know what to say now. This housekeeper obviously foresees that she will be in great trouble before looking for Dong Chenghu. It's a pity that she didn't follow her this time.

    Dong Chenghu saw Gu Shuixiu's annoyed face, and felt a little flustered, "Shuixiu, if you don't want me to go, I won't go, anyway, there are still four months, and then he will say I'll forget it."

    Gu Shuixiu frowned and shook her head, thinking for a moment before slowly saying: "This housekeeper is obviously in trouble, since he will store important things in the pharmacy, it means that the people in the pharmacy are reliable. We have also spoken to the pharmacy owner several times, and the boss is a real person.

    We have promised Butler Zhang to help him keep things, so let's help him to the end, it can be regarded as repayment of Butler Zhang's previous favor, I will go to Linhai County with you in four months, when the time comes If we enter the pharmacy in the name of buying a contraceptive pill, we will surely not arouse suspicion from others. "

    Dong Chenghu didn't want Gu Shuixiu to be in danger, but he should have done it. Now Gu Shuixiu has said so, in order not to make Gu Shuixiu angry, Dong Chenghu had no choice but to promise Gu Shuixiu, but he seemed to pretend A big rock.

    In the days that followed, Dong Chenghu not only went to the fields every day to serve crops, but also went out to hunt occasionally. The rest of the time was to follow the two children to learn literacy with Gu Shuixiu. Gu Shuixiu didn’t expect them to be good, she It's not good to write by yourself, so I can only teach them how to read, and then ask them a gentleman later.

    Dong Yunmei is grateful to Gu Shuixiu for giving so much to her children, and she is even more dedicated to taking care of the family, so that the house is only in order, and Gu Shuixiu doesn't even have a chance to wash the dishes.

     

    She hasn't been to the two valleys for a long time, and she doesn't know what the condition of the livestock is now, how are the rice crops growing?

    With something in her heart, she couldn't sit still, and when she went out to the field, Dong Chenghu just came back from the field, and asked with a puzzled look: "Shuixiu, what are you doing? Where are you going?"
