Chapter 385 Don’t go over there yet, something feels wrong

Wallet?

This purse seems to be a little special, with a pattern of a python embroidered on it.

This reminded Gu Xiaoxi of the Black Snake Sect. This thing was most likely left behind by someone from the Black Snake Sect.

She opened the bag to see what was inside?

There was only a silver note inside, but the note looked very ordinary and it was hard to tell what was inside it at first glance.

"I'll study it for one night and take it to the store tomorrow. If anyone comes looking for it, you have to return it to him." After she said that, she waited for Diguo to rest for a while before giving him acupuncture.

After the acupuncture treatment, Diguo felt sleepy and fell asleep. Gu Xiaoxi did not wake him up. After leaving, he went to the kitchen to have dinner.

After dinner, she returned to the space, locked the door, and entered the space to study with the robot to see what was different about the silver note.

It was not until midnight that they finally discovered something strange about the banknotes.

Under the oil lamp, you can see a drawing with a list on it.

They had no idea what this list was used for, so they could only copy it down and make a photocopy of the silver note.

When she was done, she put the banknote back into her purse intact.

When she was practicing the next morning, she gave the purse to Di Guo and asked him to give the item to the person who came back to look for it.

Sure enough, as soon as their shop opened, the man who lost the silver bag came.

Di Guo asked the man politely, "Sir, what does the silver bag you lost look like? What's inside it?"

The guest told Diguo the truth, and Diguo returned the purse and banknotes to the guest.

When the guest saw that his lost items were found, he gave the pot two taels of silver as a reward.

The guest took the silver bag and got on the carriage. After getting on the carriage, he carefully looked at the silver note to make sure it was the right one, and then drove the carriage away.

After Diguo and others left, they returned to the farm, told the lady what had happened, and took out two taels of silver.

"You don't have to give me any money. Wait until evening when you are not busy and draw a picture of that person for me." Gu Xiaoxi ordered.

"Thank you, Miss." Diguo thanked her and went out to help.

Gu Xiaoxi closed the door and continued to study his own things in the space.

…

Half a month later, the New Year came. This was their second year here, and they were already familiar with this place.

Before the Chinese New Year, Gu Xiaoxi took the children to the city to buy New Year's goods and visit the temple fair.

This year, not only did Gu Xiaoxi's children have a great time, but Zhong Manman also felt the lively atmosphere of the New Year in a small place for the first time.

Although it cannot be compared with the prosperity of the imperial capital, she feels really happy.

At this moment, she finally understood why Ma Weiwei was reluctant to return to the imperial capital in those years. This kind of freedom could not be found in the imperial capital at all.

On the sixth day of the New Year, Gu Xiaoxi arranged things outside and took Uncle Geda and the others into the mountains.

She originally didn't want to take Uncle Geda with her this time because the weather was too cold and the road was difficult to walk on.

However, Uncle Geda said that if we move away in the future, it will be even more difficult to go back.

So, Gu Xiaoxi agreed.

Because there were enough servants at home, this time, Gu Xiaoxi decided to bring Xu Mo in as well.

Because, if Uncle Geda passes away one day, all the old clan leaders will have a place to stay.

On the way, Gu Xiaoxi and Uncle Geda told Xu Mo what happened inside.

Xu Mo was extremely excited after hearing this. He never thought there was such a place in the mountains.

"Remember, this matter cannot be told to outsiders. When you return, discuss it with your grandfather and let some people in your family know their identities.

After all, it’s not easy for them to survive in the mountains with so many people and so many gossips, so don’t bring trouble into the mountains.” Gu Xiaoxi warned Xu Mo.

Xu Mo carefully wrote down Sister Xiaoxi's words.

The route is still the same, but Uncle Geda is in much better health than last year. He doesn't need anyone to carry him when traveling, and his speed is no slower than others.

Lai Yifeng also came to join in the fun this time. He also wanted to go in and exchange some things to sell, and make a profit from the difference to reward his brothers in the village.

They chatted and laughed along the way and didn't feel the journey was difficult. They didn't sleep on the way and only stopped occasionally to rest for a while.

As daybreak approached, they arrived at the bridge.

The weather is colder, and the river is less watery and calmer than before.

But I didn’t expect that there were so many people at the foot of the mountain, why was it still so quiet?

"Wait, don't go over there yet, something doesn't feel right!" Lai Yifeng noticed something was wrong.

"Yes, go back and wait. I'm familiar with this place. Come on, big brother, San, you two take care of it." After Gu Xiaoxi gave the order, he flashed across the bridge.

Before Lai Yifeng could respond, he looked up and Gu Xiaoxi was gone.

Xu Mo asked worriedly, "Are there any big wild animals in there? Why don't you go and help? We won't wander around."

"Follow Xiaoxi's instructions. If you encounter a big wild beast later, you can climb the tree by yourself and don't worry about others." Lai Yifeng said.

"Where is Uncle Geda?" Xu Mo looked at Uncle Geda.

"Don't worry, Uncle Geda is better at climbing trees than you." Ying San continued Xu Mo's words.

Xu Mo looked at Uncle Geda in disbelief, obviously not believing the result.

On the other side, Gu Xiaoxi rushed across the bridge and found a place where the opposite side couldn't see him, then put up an invisibility talisman and went to see what was going on.

The two villages on the ground looked very quiet, with not even a single patroller outside.

She didn't rush over, but went to see Quanjiazhai.

She found the center of the formation and walked in.

Walking in from the intersection, there is a fire burning in the middle, and some tribesmen are sitting there warming themselves by the fire.

Seeing the flame, Gu Xiaoxi realized that it seemed a little cold inside this winter, which was obviously not right.

She walked to the fire, took a good look at the people beside it, and took off the invisibility talisman on her body.

"Miss Creek, it's Miss Creek!" Big Wood shouted in surprise when he saw Miss Creek appear in front of him.

When the other two patrolmen heard that the girl from the creek had arrived, they came over excitedly.

"Big Wood, why is it so quiet outside? There are no patrols from either of their villages. Are you so confident?" Gu Xiaoxi asked in confusion.

Big Wood replied, “I don’t know what’s going on, but this winter is extremely cold, and many families don’t have enough clothes to wear. So when it gets dark, no one is outside.

Moreover, when the weather gets cold, the wild animals in the mountains all hide. We can’t catch them even if we go up the mountain, so they won’t come down the mountain and fall into our trap.”

After hearing this, Gu Xiaoxi guessed that it was because the formation in the mountain had been destroyed for too long, which also destroyed the weather in the mountain.

If this is the case, winter will be difficult for everyone.

"How's your grain harvest?" she asked again, because the old patriarch Quan had said before that it was like spring here all year round, so it was possible to grow two crops.

But now the weather has changed, which makes her worry whether they will get anything this time?
