Chapter 163 Who was bitten by a poisonous snake?
After leaving the guesthouse, Qi Shuangshuang said with a smile: "Uncle is so smart. He immediately guessed that Fu Jiani's money fell into the mountain, and he also knew that she fell."
Gu Xiaoxi smiled and nodded, "Sometimes, experience is really important. Uncle is a person with life experience."
In fact, she didn't expect Fu Jiani to fall on the mountain.
The four of them went to a state-owned hotel and had a sumptuous breakfast. Afterwards, Gu Xiaoxi took Qi Shuangshuang to visit the supply and marketing cooperative.
Lu Jiansen and Si Nanyu took the things they wanted to send to the post office and then went to buy train tickets.
At the supply and marketing cooperative, Gu Xiaoxi had no shortage of money, but he lacked tickets, so he didn't buy much and just watched the excitement.
Qi Shuangshuang bought a lot of things, including food and daily necessities.
They strolled around until noon and then went to the state-owned hotel.
Not long after we sat down, Uncle Huang came over.
He did not come empty-handed, he also brought a big cloth bag.
After sitting down, he handed the bag to Gu Xiaoxi and said in a low voice, "My dear, this is for you. There are two mink skins in it, which you can make a hat for, and some pears, which you can eat in the car."
"Thank you, uncle!" Gu Xiaoxi did not refuse Uncle Huang's kindness.
When ordering, she bought almost every dish that a state-owned restaurant could cook.
The waiter who received her couldn't help but say, "Comrade, you three can't eat so much."
Gu Xiaoxi said hurriedly, "There are still two of us who haven't arrived yet. We will pack up the leftovers because we will be sitting on the train for several days soon, so it won't be a problem if we have more food."
The waiter nodded in understanding, "Okay."
When the first dish of braised pork was served, Lu Jiansen and Si Nanyu also came over.
After the two of them greeted Uncle Huang, they said, "The tickets have been bought. They are sleeper tickets for 3pm."
Gu Xiaoxi's heart was a little excited, they were finally going home!
The braised pork was served first, so it was the first to be cleared away.
Then a dish of sauerkraut cabbage was served. It tasted delicious and appetizing, and it also suited Gu Xiaoxi's appetite.
The next dish, catfish stewed with eggplant, surprised Gu Xiaoxi even more.
She felt that the chef of this state-owned hotel was really amazing, probably at the master level, and the food was much better than what she cooked herself.
Qi Shuangshuang liked the chicken stewed with mushrooms at the back more, and the pot-wrapped pork was her favorite. She felt like her stomach was about to burst from eating so much!
Uncle Huang was also very full. He couldn't eat any more before all the dishes were served.
He had never experienced anything like this before.
From Gu Xiaoxi's point of view, there were not many dishes, but the portions were large, so everyone was full.
After packing up the remaining food, Gu Xiaoxi and his friends said goodbye to Uncle Huang.
When returning to the guesthouse, the staff stopped Gu Xiaoxi.
"Comrade Gu, the other three people who came with you have left. Comrade Zhang asked me to tell you that they went up the mountain to look for the lost money."
Gu Xiaoxi nodded, "I see, thank you. If they come to stay here again in a few days, please tell Comrade Zhang that we are going back to Qingbei today."
"Okay." The staff nodded.
Gu Xiaoxi was quite happy when she returned to her room to pack her things.
She no longer had to worry about snoring with Zhang Bingyi and the others, and it saved her a lot of trouble.
Considering that she would have to stay on the train for a few more days, she took the time to wash her hair and take a shower.
Lu Jiansen packed up the things and prepared the food to be eaten on the train.
When Qi Shuangshuang saw Xiaoxi taking a bath, she also took the time to take a bath.
At half past two, the four of them left the guesthouse carrying their things.
On the other side, Zhang Bingyi, Zhong Jue and Fu Jiani had already boarded the car to Jiling.
However, when they arrived, they found that they had taken the wrong bus. Because of their accent, they arrived in Orange Ridge instead of Jiling.
So the three of them went back and headed for Jiling.
At this time, Gu Xiaoxi and his friends had already boarded the train and were lying on the berths to rest.
Gu Xiaoxi didn't know that Zhang Bingyi and his team spent a day going up the mountain and finally found the money that Fu Jiani had lost.
However, an accident happened at this time. Zhong Jue's leg was bitten by a poisonous snake!
Zhang Bingyi was a doctor, but just cleaning the snake venom and carrying it down the mountain was so exhausting that he almost died.
Fu Jiani cried the whole time. She felt their luggage was too heavy to carry, but she didn't dare to throw it away. She was so tired that she kept crying.
At the same time, while Gu Xiaoxi was having dinner on the train, he suddenly saw several lines of golden characters passing by.
Snake Venom Extraction (2 points of merit required)
Snake venom serum antibody cultivation and separation technique (requires 5 merit points)
Snake Venom Removal (10 points of merit required)
Gu Xiaoxi was stunned, not quite understanding why the system skill store suddenly asked her to learn how to cure snake venom.
Who was bitten by a poisonous snake?
She looked around and found nothing unusual.
But Lu Jiansen was a soldier and spent a lot of time in the field, so it was necessary for him to learn these skills. Therefore, she learned all three.
I have consumed a lot of merit points recently. If I don’t earn some merit points, Gu Xiaoxi suddenly has a strange feeling of guilt.
So, after dinner, she took the opportunity to go to the toilet and took a walk on the train.
It took her a long time to earn six merit points.
That night, Si Nanyu, who was on the same train with them, got off and took another train back to Kyoto.
Two days later in the evening, Gu Xiaoxi and his team also returned to Qingbei.
The moment he got off the bus, Gu Xiaoxi felt inexplicably happy, as if he was back home.
"Xiaoxi, it's getting dark now, you guys should go back to my house!" Qi Shuangshuang said.
She is just as happy now. It’s so comfortable to be back home!
After being away from home for only ten days, she found herself missing home very much.
Gu Xiaoxi turned to look at Lu Jiansen, wondering what his arrangements were.
Lu Jiansen nodded and said, "Let's go to Qi's home first."
He wanted to give the hundred-year-old ginseng to Mr. Qi and inquire about the prescription.
He knew that Elder Qi and Dean Chen were helping them find medicine.
However, when the three returned to Qi's house, they found it empty and Old Qi was not at home.
Qi Shuangshuang was a little confused. "My grandpa won't work the night shift again, right? Xiaoxi, you guys sit down first. I'll go to Dean Chen's house to ask."
"Oh, go ahead!" Gu Xiaoxi sat down in the living room and wiped the table with a rag.
After Lu Jiansen put down his things, he went to the kitchen.
When Gu Xiaoxi saw Lu Jiansen go to the kitchen to light a fire and boil water, she also fetched some water and cleaned the room they rented.
She once again replaced the old bedding with new ones and re-made the bed.
Because there were no replacement shoes here, she took out two pairs of new cotton shoes from the new product showroom, one pair for her and one pair for Lu Jiansen.
Afterwards, she took off her cotton-leather shoes, washed them, put them aside, and put on her cotton shoes.
She also exchanged all the sleeping bags, blankets, and clothes that she brought to Jiling for new ones and put them away.
At this time, Qi Shuangshuang came back.
She said somewhat dejectedly, "Xiaoxi, my grandfather went to see a leader in another city yesterday. Dean Chen is having dinner at home and said he would come to my house right away."
"Oh, it's okay. Your grandpa is not at home, so I'll stay here for a few days to keep you company." Gu Xiaoxi said with a smile.
When Qi Shuangshuang heard this, her previous calmness suddenly disappeared.
"That's great! Let's go to the kitchen and make dinner. I need to eat more tonight."
After taking two steps, I saw Lu Jiansen coming out with a bucket of hot water.
"My wife will take a shower first, and I will cook dinner later."
It's cold outside and the girl likes to be clean, so a hot bath would make her more comfortable.
