The next day, at daybreak, Si Jinxing took Qingchan out of the yard.
Unexpectedly, he ran into Xue Yong and Gu Anxu who were practicing martial arts in the front yard.
Si Jinxing didn't expect that these two could be martial arts training partners!
"Miss, are you going out to do some business so early in the morning?" Xue Yong asked, wiping his sweat off his forehead.
Upon hearing this, Si Jinxing felt that Xue Yong was a thoughtful person. He usually called her Princess, but today, seeing that the head of the Gu family was here, he changed his address to Miss.
She nodded and said, "Yes, I'm going out to do some work."
But Gu Anxu reminded:
"Brother Xue and I know a lot about Xuzhou. If you trust us, we'd like to travel with you."
Si Jinxing heard the voice, pondered for a moment, and said:
"Have you ever heard of the village along the river?"
Xue Yong only said: "In the western suburbs."
Gu Anxu thought for a moment and said:
"Two years ago, Gu was invited by a friend to go to Heyan to see an elderly man. Brother Xue was right. It's in the northern part of the western suburbs."
Si Jinxing nodded and said, "In that case, Uncle Gu, please come with me. Xue Yong, you stay at the mansion and take care of him."
Seeing this, Gu Anxu hurriedly handed the spear in his hand to Xue Yong and asked:
"Brother Xue, go tell my wife that I'm out on some business with my young lady."
Si Jinxing and Qingchan sat in the carriage, while Gu Anxu sat on the shaft and drove the carriage, rushing towards the west of the city!
When they arrived, the city gate had just opened.
After the carriage traveled for a while, Si Jinxing picked up a piece of cloud cake and put it in her mouth. It was sweet but not greasy, just the taste she liked.
She poured two cups of tea and said to the outside of the car:
"Uncle Gu, please come into the carriage. I have something to ask you."
Gu Anxu stopped the carriage and looked at Qingchan, asking, "Do you want me to drive the carriage?"
But he saw Bai Xi, who came out of nowhere, suddenly sitting in the place where he was originally sitting.
He once again confirmed that the identity of this lady wearing a veiled hat was definitely not simple!
It's hard to say, it's just...
Gu Anxu concealed his thoughts, closed the carriage door, and asked, "Miss, just ask."
Si Jinxing handed the tea to Gu Anxu and said:
"Uncle Gu, do you still remember that village? What did it look like? How was it different from an ordinary village?"
Gu Anxu didn't know why this young lady wanted to go to Heyan. He thought about it for a moment and said:
"It's just an ordinary village. If it weren't for the difference...
That is because the village is very rich and the houses built by each household are very neatly arranged!
And a small village actually has its own private warehouse!"
Private warehouse?
When Si Jinxing heard these two words, she understood instantly!
It turns out that Jia Wensheng is playing the empty city plan!
As the name suggests, private warehouses are private warehouses built by the people themselves, which are in opposition to government warehouses.
Generally, landlords have underground warehouses, but they can only be called warehouses. The scale of private warehouses is much larger, which is rare among the people!
A small village that was just built three years ago actually has the ability to build private warehouses!
She wanted to see how much rice was stored in the warehouse!
Is it like the government warehouse in the city, filled with moldy and blackened stale rice?
Seeing that the young lady remained silent after hearing what he said, Gu Anxu recalled it carefully again and said:
"When I went there, I was treating the old father of the headman of Heyan Village.
It's strange to say, but the head of a small village is very busy, with people reporting things to him all the time.
This is the first time I’ve seen a village head so busy that he seems to be…”
Gu Anxu paused for a moment and thought of an apt metaphor:
"Like a butler in a wealthy family."
Si Jinxing raised her head abruptly, looked at Gu Anxu through the veil, and said, "Butler?"
Gu Anxu nodded and said, "Yes."
Si Jinxing thought for a moment and said:
"What's wrong with that old father over there? Did you cure him back then?"
Gu Anxu waved his hand and said:
"The old man's condition was very strange. He had pain in his lower abdomen, but it didn't last. My medical skills were limited, and I tried many prescriptions, but I couldn't cure it."
Si Jinxing listened to these symptoms and had some thoughts in her mind:
"When we got to the village, Uncle Gu said he had found a good doctor and came to tell us.
If you are hesitant there, just stay at the largest inn in the city."
After hearing this, Gu Anxu endured it again and again and said, "Miss, please forgive me for being so presumptuous. Are you..."
Si Jinxing interrupted him and said, "Uncle Gu, there are some things that you should know when you should know them."
Gu Anxu nodded and replied, "Yes, yes, I have overstepped the line."
He has always been a person who doesn't like to meddle in other people's affairs, but he had many guesses about the identity of this lady and always wanted to verify whether she was the one he had in mind!
Now think about it, if it really was that person, and his question just now was heard by passers-by, wouldn’t it be dangerous for the young lady?
He secretly swore in his heart that he would never mention this matter again, just as the young lady said, the time was not right.
Qing Chan interrupted at this time and said, "Miss, that should be the village!"
Si Jinxing looked out the window and saw a small river winding down on the north side of the road. On the north side of the river was a small village surrounded by dense forests.
From a distance, the village looks like a gold ingot, with the lower end like a crescent moon and the two sides slightly raised.
The road leading to the village is a bridge over the river!
It looks a bit like the moat!
The carriage stopped on the south side of the river, but Bai Xi and Qing Chan did not get off the carriage.
Gu Anxu took Si Jinxing onto the wooden bridge, and saw that the tightly closed village gate was creaked open from the inside.
A tall and strong man came forward and asked, "Who is coming?"
Gu Anxu clasped his fists and said:
"I am Gu Anxu from Suzhou. Two years ago, I came to your village to treat the illness of the village head's son.
However, Gu's medical skills were limited at the time and he was unable to make a clear diagnosis. He was always worried about it, so he thought of coming again to say hello to the old man.
I would also like to ask this brother to help convey this."
When the man heard this, his ferocious expression relaxed a little. He looked at the woman behind Gu Anxu and said:
"So you're the Gu family doctor. I've long heard of your name! Who is the person behind you?"
Gu Anxu glanced at Si Jinxing and said, "This is the poor person I rescued a few days ago. Seeing how disfigured she was, I kept her by my side as my last disciple."
The tall and strong man seemed a little worried when he heard the voice.
He reached out to lift the veil of the young woman in front of him, but when he saw the face underneath the veil, he instantly loosened the gauze in his hand.
He said impatiently:
"Come in!"
Seeing this, Gu Anxu hurriedly bowed to express his gratitude and walked inside with Si Jinxing.
Si Jinxing quickly looked around the village!
The neatly arranged houses form the shape of a gold ingot, and in the middle of the gold ingot seems to be a family ancestral hall.
Why is the private warehouse gone?
She leaned closer to Gu Anxu and asked, "Where is that thing?"
