Chapter 107 You should trust my medical skills now
Gu Xiaoxi was also looking at Chen Shiliu. He was tall and strong, looked a bit fierce, and just standing there he gave off a sense of security.
"Sister Xiaoxi, this is my sixteenth uncle." Chen Qinian saw Sister Xiaoxi looking at his sixteenth uncle and gave a brief introduction.
"Qinian and I are of the same generation, so let's call him Qinian for now!" Gu Xiaoxi said as he bowed to Chen Shiliu.
"Okay!" Chen Shiliu simply replied with one word.
Seeing that the man was cold, Gu Xiaoxi didn't say anything more and led them to the wooden house.
"You will live here from now on. If the place is not big enough, you can build another one." She pointed to the five wooden houses next to her. Because she didn't know how many people this guy would bring, she prepared five houses temporarily.
Chen Qinian was curious about everything and went over to take a look at the wooden houses.
There are not many rooms in the wooden house, and each room has two beds.
In addition to Chen Qinian and Chen Shiliu, there were eight other people who were just enough to accommodate them.
"Enough, enough, it's just enough for us to live in. Sister Xiaoxi, except for Uncle Sixteen and Chen San, you can arrange whatever they want to do." Chen Qinian was very satisfied with the environment here.
Although it was rather simple, living in the wooden house gave him the feeling of practicing in the mountains, and he really liked this feeling.
"Thank you very much. Please wait a moment. I will call my uncle out. He will be responsible for building the house." Gu Xiaoxi had drawn the blueprint before and explained it to her uncle in detail.
After their house is built, they will also have to rebuild my uncle's house, so they have to hurry up.
When the time comes, the middle will be enclosed and connected, and it will become one family.
When my uncle wants to get married and needs to spend time alone together, he can just lock that door and open another one to go in and out.
Gu An was still busy over there. When he heard Gu Xiaoxi's voice, he dropped what he was doing and went to meet these people.
"This is my uncle. I'll be in trouble from now on." Gu Xiaoxi saw his uncle coming and introduced him to everyone.
Chen Shiliu looked at Gu An and felt that he looked familiar, but he couldn't figure out where he had seen him before.
Gu An remembered who this person was, but he just pretended not to know him.
After the greetings, Gu An asked them to arrange their accommodation first, and there was no rush to work in the afternoon.
So Chen San took a few people to the village entrance, and then took a carriage to the town.
After arriving in the town, Chen San waited for the passengers to get off the carriage, then hired the carriage. Several people went to the town to buy the quilts needed for the house and brought them back.
Other daily necessities were brought from home. Quilts take up a lot of space, so I planned to go to the local area to see what was available and buy some in town.
While Chen San and the others were taking care of these things, Gu Xiaoxi didn't waste any time and gave Chen Qinian acupuncture in the morning.
Chen Shiliu was watching while the acupuncture was being performed.
When he saw Gu Xiaoxi's needle-inserting speed, he couldn't help but be amazed.
It was really eye-opening for him that such a young girl could have such skilled needlework skills.
"What a clever girl!" he said with emotion.
Gu Xiaoxi put away the needle and asked with a smile, "Now you should trust my medical skills, right?"
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, young lady." Chen Shiliu didn't expect to be seen through by the other party and felt a little embarrassed.
Seeing Uncle Sixteen's face flush, Chen Qinian said gloatingly, "Sister Xiaoxi, you don't know that my Uncle Sixteen is a stubborn ox. This time, after seeing your ability, he is no longer stubborn."
Seeing Chen Qinian gloating, Gu Xiaoxi felt that Chen Shiliu was the elder after all, and she had to give him some face, so she said, "Don't smile too brightly, he will soon need to inject internal energy into you. You're smiling too happily now, and you'll cry later."
Chen Qinian...
He glanced secretly at Uncle Sixteen, and his smile became noticeably stiff.
Gu Xiaoxi put away the needles, stood up and said, "Three days of acupuncture, then three days of medicinal baths. After six days, Uncle Sixteen can use his internal energy to treat him."
"Thank you, Miss Xiaoxi." Chen Shiliu bowed politely to express his gratitude.
Gu Xiaoxi smiled slightly and said, "You need to prepare two large bathtubs. The medicine will be changed halfway through."
"Okay!" Chen Shiliu agreed readily.
Gu Xiaoxi gave a few more instructions and went to the yard over there to make bricks.
Gu Xiaoxi made lunch at noon. Chen Shiliu didn’t expect that Sister Xiaoxi’s cooking was so delicious, and he ate three big bowls at once.
Not only Chen Shiliu increased his food intake, but everyone else did the same.
After lunch, Gu Xiaoxi remembered something and asked, "By the way, didn't you say before that you would find more experts to treat you? Why did you only bring Uncle Sixteen here?"
"My uncle is worried that the people outside are unreliable and that they will cause trouble for you. My second uncle said that it doesn't matter if the speed is slow." Chen Qinian told Sister Xiaoxi what his second uncle meant.
Gu Xiaoxi understood the meaning and had to say that Mr. Chen was a careful person.
After lunch, Gu Xiaoxi planned to continue working, but Chen Qinian insisted on going up the mountain with her to hunt.
"Xiaoxi, they are not from the village after all. Go to the mountain next to them. It is an ownerless mountain, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble." Gu An reminded Xiaoxi.
Gu Xiaoxi nodded in understanding. It was a good idea to do so. If the villagers caught her, it would not sound good and they would accuse her of leading people from outside the village to poach.
However, the mountain next door is quite dangerous. I heard from my father before that there are blind bears there. I hope this kid is not so lucky.
"Mr. Chen San, although there are many prey over there, there are also dangers. You'd better not run around." Gu An warned Chen Qinian.
"There is danger. Could there be a pack of wolves?" Chen Qinian said disapprovingly. Obviously, he had encountered a pack of wolves before.
"The wolves are okay, the key is there are blind bears, so don't go too deep." Gu An replied.
When he heard that there was a blind bear, Chen Shiliu frowned, but he also knew Qinian's bad temper. Since he had decided to go, he would not give up easily.
"Wow, I've never seen a live blind bear!" After hearing this, Chen Qinian was not afraid at all, but looked excited.
Gu Xiaoxi...
This is like a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger!
Chen Shiliu didn't say anything either. This kid has been brave since he was young.
"We have hatchets at home, why not bring an extra one with you when you go up the mountain?" Gu An said with some concern.
"Thank you!" Chen Shiliu bowed to express his gratitude.
Not long after, Gu Xiaoxi took Chen Shiliu and Gu Qinian up the mountain.
They had just left when Gu and the others came over.
There was nothing to do in the afternoon, so they came over to help.
In two days, those thorn balls will be sold out. By then, with more people helping to make bricks, the speed will be much faster.
"Where are Xiaoxi and Young Master Chen San?" Chai asked curiously when she didn't see them.
"That kid couldn't sit still and went up the mountain." Gu An replied, then looked towards the yard and whispered, "Brother, sister-in-law, we have to get the bricks ready to go, so as not to delay the process."
