Chapter 256 I Won’t Tell Anyone
Gu Xiaoxi nodded confidently: "Don't worry, I will never break my promise. You will definitely meet again. Besides, there are so many good medicines here, I can't bear to give them up."
Uncle Geda believed that Miss Xiaoxi would not lie to him. After returning, he would take care of his health before going into the mountains with Miss Xiaoxi.
When the old patriarch heard that Miss Xiaoxi was interested in these herbs, he hurriedly said, "Then we will dig up all the good herbs and keep them for you until you come into the mountains."
"Okay, I'll exchange the price outside for the goods and bring them in for you." Gu Xiaoxi thought this was a good idea and would benefit everyone.
However, there is indeed a problem here, that is, it is too difficult to climb the mountain. It would be great if there was a road that could lead directly to the bridge.
Seeing Gu Xiaoxi's confusion, the old patriarch called her aside and then took out a piece of leather from his body.
"Next time, let's take the upper road. It will save us a lot of time compared to before." He said in a low voice.
"Thank you!" Gu Xiaoxi put the leather away.
"This road was dug from outside five years ago. In the spring, our people would also go out through this road to exchange for some food, and it didn't take that long.
However, there are many snakes on this road, so be careful when you come. Also, don't tell outsiders about this road. If too many people come in, we will be in trouble here. "The old patriarch and his men are good at snake medicine, so for them, this is better than climbing these mountains.
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else, and I will only bring my own people in." Gu Xiaoxi knew that they didn't want their peace to be disturbed by outsiders.
The two talked for a while and then they set off.
Gu Xiaoxi took out the map and they walked out in the direction indicated on the map.
This road is indeed different. Even in the middle of winter, there are still snakes on the road. However, they have snake medicine, so they didn’t encounter any danger on the road. Moreover, this road goes around the foot of the mountain, which saves a lot of time compared to climbing.
At night, they landed on the roadside. Strangely, there were no wolves on this road. Snake medicine was sprinkled around, so everyone lived in peace at night.
The next day, at daybreak, they continued along the same road.
In the afternoon, they came out of the mountains.
When they came out, they found the area a little unfamiliar. They walked forward for a while and Uncle Geda recognized the place.
"This is Taojia Village. Walk forward for half an hour and you will reach our village." When he arrived at this place, he was familiar with it.
When we heard that we were almost at Xujia Village, we all immediately got more motivated.
However, they did not go to Xujia Village first, but went directly back to Gu Xiaoxi's farm.
Seeing that Gu Xiaoxi had been away for such a long time, the people in the village were all worried.
Zhang Shun sighed hundreds of times a day, and within half an hour he would have someone greet him at the door.
Ye Mingxuan had suffered from insomnia every night since the day they entered the mountains. He was worried that they would not be able to find the antidote, and even more worried that they would not be able to come back.
However, knowing the extent of the danger this time, the Gu family members were absent-minded the whole day, worried that something might happen to Gu Xiaoxi.
Xue said angrily, "Dad, Mom, you have to persuade Xiaoxi when she comes back. She needs to earn money, but she can't do it this way!"
"You're right. I will definitely have a good talk with her when I get back." Chai also felt a little regretful. She should have persuaded Xiaoxi at the beginning. It would be better not to make this kind of money.
However, they have been in there for less than half a month, but about ten days in total.
Seeing that it was getting dark again, Gu Nanming still hadn't seen his sister and the others, and couldn't help but sigh.
Aunt Geda didn't dare go out, for fear of getting bad news. These two days, when the two children asked her where their grandfather had gone, she didn't dare tell the truth.
Zhang Shun paced the yard in annoyance. Seeing Aunt Geda secretly wiping away tears, he stepped forward with some sympathy to comfort her: "Uncle Geda, Xiaoxi is blessed with a long life. She will definitely come back with Uncle Geda."
"Yes, Miss Xiaoxi is a lucky girl, and my man will definitely be fine." Aunt Geda wiped her tears and forced a smile at Zhang Shun.
Afraid that others would see it and also considering her feelings, he said a few words and went back to his room.
Ye Mingxuan in the yard also saw all this. He would not let the couple's efforts be in vain.
It was dark and the wind was strong at the foot of the mountain, so Dashun closed the yard door.
Boom boom boom!
Dashun was just about to go over there to eat when there was a knock on the yard door.
He excitedly opened the yard door, but it was Xu Mo who appeared outside the door.
He smiled with disappointment: "Brother Xu Mo, why are you here at this time?"
"They haven't come back yet?" Xu Mo was also worried about Miss Xiaoxi and Uncle Geda and the others.
Dashun shook his head, pulled Xu Mo in, and then closed the yard door.
"Let's go and eat first." Dashun said.
"No, I'm going back first if he doesn't come back. My father hasn't been able to sleep for several nights, and I can't sleep either." Xu Mo said sadly.
Why……
Both of them couldn't help but sigh.
Boom boom boom!
At this time, the yard door was knocked again, and both of them turned back at the same time with anticipation.
"Open the door, open the door quickly, we are back!" Wei Bai excitedly knocked on the gate of the yard.
Hearing Wei Bai's voice, Dashun quickly opened the gate of the yard.
At a glance, I saw Wei Kong carrying Uncle Geda on his back, and their young lady was standing beside him safely.
"Uncle Quan, Aunt Quan, you're back, you're all back, you're all back." Dashun didn't even welcome them in, but ran quickly to where Uncle Quan and the others lived.
Xu Mo also cried with joy and stood there shouting: "They're back, they're all back!"
When Aunt Geda heard the noise, she ran out of the house with her two children.
Seeing her man come back alive, she stepped forward and held his hand.
"We're back, we're all back." Uncle Geda cried with joy.
Aunt Geda found that her man did not get off Wei Kong's back, and asked in panic: "You, what are you doing..."
"Aunt Geda, don't panic. Uncle Geda was slightly injured. Miss Xiaoxi said he will be fine after resting for a while. Aunt Geda, you lead the way first. I will carry Uncle Geda back to the house." Wei Kong comforted Aunt Geda.
Hearing that it was nothing serious, Aunt Geda breathed a sigh of relief and happily led the way.
When Gu He and the others heard that Gu Xiaoxi had returned, they all ran over. Chai went forward and hugged her daughter tightly. She didn't dare to cry, but her body was shaking slightly.
"Mom, everything went smoothly this time, and we even brought back a lot of good medicinal herbs." Gu Xiaoxi patted her mother gently, knowing that she was also scared this time.
Fortunately, she had space, otherwise this time she would be in great danger.
"It's okay, it's okay, Mom. We are all back. Even if we are injured, it's just a superficial wound. It will heal after a few days." She hugged her mother and refused to let go.
After a while, Chai finally recovered. She released her daughter's hand and said, "Let's go home. Mother will cook for you!"
After she finished speaking, she looked towards Zhang Shun and the others and said loudly, "I'm happy tonight, come over for dinner."
Ye Mingxuan watched this scene and told Wei Cheng to get ready. They would leave after dinner.
