Chapter 391 He is stupid, what can I do?
"Go on." Gu Xiaoxi was curious.
Ying Si continued, “The master doesn’t want to get involved in these things at all, but the Third Master comes to ask for help every once in a while.
The master owed the Third Master a favor when he was out there, and he was in a very passive position, as he was in a dilemma whether to help or not.
passive!
snort!
Gu Xiaoxi smiled coldly and said, "He's stupid, what can I do?"
"Miss, do you have any ideas?" Ying Si's face was full of anticipation.
Gu Xiaoxi thought about it and said, "Since Concubine Pang is not in good health, it is normal for her to leave the imperial capital to seek medical treatment.
Since he doesn't want to participate, why not just leave a few people to deliver messages at any time and stay away? "
Ying Si thought this was a good idea, as it would allow the master to free up time and also allow the queen to stay away from troubles.
"I will cast the spell and tell my master the method right away." He said happily.
"Tell him first not to decide on a time yet, and leave when Zhong Chengyu and the others leave, so as not to bump into each other." Gu Xiaoxi didn't want Ye Lixuan to deal with Zhong Chengyu, so as not to bring unnecessary trouble to Ye Lixuan.
"Don't worry, I understand." Ying Si said and left the house.
Gu Xiaoxi sent Ying Si away and threw all the letters and lists into the space.
…
Three days later, Zhong Chengyu told Gu Xiaoxi, "Miss Xiaoxi, if we go back now, we might have to wait until the New Year to celebrate. So, after discussing with my sister, we decided to wait until after the New Year to return."
"Just make the arrangements." Gu Xiaoxi just needed to roughly know the time.
Anyway, she didn't plan to teach them any new skills since the New Year was approaching, so she just let them practice their existing skills well.
Seeing that the time was almost up, she began to arrange for people to go into the mountains.
I had a lot of chores to do this year, so I went into the mountains only a few times. However, the last few times I went there, it rained on full-moon nights, so I didn't see anything.
She wondered if she had no fate with golden light, which was why she rarely saw it.
This is the last time before the New Year. I hope there will be some fate this time.
This time, she asked Lai Yifeng to take a few brothers into the mountains, intending to bring them more good things at once.
Winter in the mountains is more unbearable than winter outside. Although we have expanded the cultivated area this year, the weather has changed so much that we don’t know how the harvest will be.
When Zhong Manman heard that they were going into the mountains, she wanted to follow them, but was directly rejected by Gu Xiaoxi.
"You can see a lot of snakes on the road there even in winter. You will go back after the New Year, so nothing can happen at this time." Gu Xiaoxi made up an excuse to get away with it.
Although Zhong Manman is more playful, this girl has inherited the Zhong family's business acumen and will be good at business.
That place is an undeveloped paradise, and she doesn't want it to be turned into a wealth harvesting ground by the Zhong family.
Zhong Manman's plea failed, and she looked at Ma Weiwei. Before Ma Weiwei could speak, Gu Xiaoxi directly rejected her, "Don't even think about it. It's too dangerous on the road. Just stay home and practice."
The three of them were suddenly disappointed and all looked miserable.
Diguo's Dantian was almost healed, so this time he asked Yingsi to stay behind and took Diguo into the mountains.
Originally, Bingxue and Ruixue also wanted to go in. They thought the place was very fun the last time they went there, and there were many wild fruits that they had never eaten.
When they saw that their mother didn't let Sister Weiwei and the others in, they tactfully shut up.
Gu Feng always knew that his mother was wary of the two brothers of the Zhong family, but he didn't say anything.
"Afeng, come with me this time to select herbs." Gu Xiaoxi spoke at this time.
"Okay, Mom!" Gu Feng was overjoyed, which made Ma Weiwei and the others very envious.
But, there is no point in being envious, because they only have a superficial understanding of medical skills. Gu Feng is different, as he has completely inherited the true teachings of Sister Xiaoxi.
The matter was decided so happily. Seeing some people happy and some worried, Gu Xiaoxi took Gu Feng and the others out.
Ying San went to the mountain to call Lai Yifeng.
Ever since he tasted the sweetness that time, Lai Yifeng would prepare a lot of things every time he took his brothers into the mountains, because the medicinal herbs he exchanged from them could make his brothers' lives better.
After two days of preparation outside, on the third day, they entered the mountains as planned.
On the day they entered the mountain, Ying Si and his men drove a horse-drawn carriage to deliver the things to the entrance. When they left, they found that Zhong Chengyu had followed them.
He thought to himself that something was wrong, but he couldn't pull the person out on the spot, so he could only wait for the girl to come out and then report it.
Gu Xiaoxi and the others were familiar with the route, but it was cold, so they had to wear more clothes and could not move as fast as they did in the summer.
However, when they were traveling in the second half of the night, they found some unfamiliar faces.
Gu Xiaoxi gave Ying Si a look, and Ying Si went over to inquire.
Ying Si learned from those people that they went into the mountains to dig for herbs.
However, Gu Xiaoxi and Ying Si felt that they must be lying. People who dig herbs would not wear swords. They obviously had other intentions.
"Girl, what should we do now?" Ying Si asked.
"Wait for them to leave first." Gu Xiaoxi said.
Ying Si nodded and then gave the order.
The people on the opposite side also wondered what Gu Xiaoxi and the others were doing?
But Gu Xiaoxi and his group were more numerous, so they chose not to take action.
In this way, they rested peacefully in the same place for one night, and the next morning they started to move forward.
Gu Xiaoxi asked Ying San to follow, and the rest of the people would set off later.
Ying San followed them carefully and found that they were also walking down this road. When they were about to reach the bridge, they actually climbed up the mountain next to it.
Ying San was waiting here for Gu Xiaoxi and the others to come.
Almost half an hour later, Gu Xiaoxi and the others finally ran into Ying San.
Ying San told Gu Xiaoxi about the situation. Gu Xiaoxi felt that no matter what they were here for, since they were not going the same way, there was nothing to worry about.
Everyone quickened their pace and came to the other side of the river. It was cold and thin ice was floating on the surface of the river.
"This winter is colder than last year." Ying San said when he saw the ice on the river.
"Yeah, I don't know if they have enough food?" Gu Xiaoxi became a little worried.
On the way, they brought a lot of cotton and coarse cloth to the other two villages. The clothes on their bodies should be no problem, but filling their stomachs became a big problem.
Before Gu Xiaoxi crossed the bridge, the villagers who heard the noise came to meet him.
These villagers came from three different villages. When they saw the children, Gu Xiaoxi and his friends gave them candies.
Some sensible children immediately told their family head that Gu Xiaoxi and the others had gone into the mountains.
Gu Xiaoxi had not yet sat down at the home of Patriarch Quan when the other two family heads followed.
This time they brought a lot of things. Most of Gu Xiaoxi's things were to be given to Quanjiazhai, but all of Lai Yifeng's things were for exchange.
Seeing the two clan leaders coming, Gu Xiaoxi immediately asked them to follow Lai Yifeng to see those things.
Patriarch Quan also knew that it was not easy to get a wind, so he never asked for anything?
However, Lai Yifeng was also very good at dealing with people. He left a car of good things to exchange with the people in Quanjiazhai.
While waiting for Lai Yifeng and the two clan leaders to leave, the old clan leader Quan told Gu Xiaoxi something: "Xiaoxi, there are many more people entering the mountains this year.
However, many people go into the mountains not to dig for herbs, but to hunt for treasures, so they open up another route that bypasses our villages."
