Chapter 291 292. Acquaintance
Luofu Village in the suburbs of Beijing
Not long after Gu Wenheng and his convoy entered the village, villagers came over to lead the way.
Gu Wenheng held Luo Luo in his arms and sat on the front yoke. "Little brother, do people often come to visit you?"
The young man smiled shyly, "In spring, many people come here because our village is backed by green mountains and there is a long river below. Some people go hunting in the mountains, and some people play by the river."
"Young man, what's your last name?"
"My Lord, I dare not use this word. My last name is Luo, so you can just call me Luo Gang."
Gu Wenheng, "Luo Gang, please help us find an open place later. I'm with my child, so I don't want to go to a remote place."
Luo Gang took a look at the little man in his arms. This young master was really good-looking. "It just so happens that I know a place, but it's a bit close to the water. You have to keep an eye on the young master."
After Luo Gang finished speaking, he felt like he had said too much. When a wealthy family like this goes out, they always have a horde of servants. How could they not be able to take care of a child?
Gu Wenheng smiled and thanked him, "Thank you, Brother Luo, for your reminder. We have come all the way here, so your village should have a large population, right?"
Luo Gang straightened his chest proudly, "There are nearly 2,000 people in our village, and it is also a well-known wealthy village nearby."
"I can see it." Gu Wenheng looked at the buildings around him. Compared with the villages he had seen before, this one was many times better.
When they arrived at the place, it was just as Luo Gang had said, a large patch of grass by the river, perfect for their picnic today.
Gu Wenheng gave the reward money, and the other party did not stay for long and quickly disappeared in front of everyone.
Jin Qianqian spread the blanket she brought on the ground. Over there, several older maids had already set up the stove and started to boil water and make tea.
Looking at the Daqing Mountain not far away and listening to the sound of flowing water, Jin Qianqian felt completely relaxed.
Gu Wenheng put the child in his arms on the mat that had been laid out and started running around with Gu Benluo.
After resting for a while, Jin Qianqian became interested. Looking at the clear river water, she couldn't help but think of the days when she lived in the mountains before.
"You guys look after the young master, I'm going to go over there for a look." Jin Qianqian asked a few maids to stay here, and then she found a small pile of earth nearby and started searching.
"Ma'am, are you looking for the earth dragon?"
Jin Qianqian nodded. "The water in this river seems so deep. Want to try and see if you can catch any fish?"
Qingmei, "Madam, can you fish?"
"You'll know if you try it," Jin Qianqian said as she picked up a small earthworm from a small tree root and looked around, pointing at the leaves not far away. "Go and pull a few leaves for me."
He placed the small earthworm with some soil on the leaves and started searching again. He found a few more one after another and when he thought they were almost all gone, he stopped.
"Why are you playing in the mud?" Gu Wenheng came over with the sweaty Luo Luo in his arms. Seeing the mud on her hands, he said jokingly, "How can a mother be more naughty than Luo Luo?"
Jin Qianqian pretended to search for the hook and said, "Let's be self-sufficient today. Our little Luo Luo will wait for mother to make fish soup for you."
"Fish," Gubenlo still remembered the fat carp in the backyard pond and clapped his hands excitedly.
Seeing Jin Qianqian watching Chunmei hooking earthworms, he also started to catch one.
Gu Wenheng didn't notice it for a moment and actually let him catch the earthworm in his hand.
Jin Qianqian tried her best not to scream out loud, but the boy seemed to be addicted to it and actually pulled the two ends of the earthworm, trying to pull the two little things apart.
Gu Wenheng, "Lolo, you can't play like this. Put it on the ground first and watch the earthworm dig a hole, okay?"
Gu Benluo blinked his big eyes and looked at Gu Wenheng, "Dad, it's soft."
Gu Wenheng hugged him from behind and slowly squatted down with him. "Although it's soft, we'll know after we try it."
Gu Benluo thought of the ants he had played with in the backyard before. Many of them had disappeared into holes. "Then it will run away."
Gu Wenheng, "But if you hold it like this, your hands will get dirty. Dad will take you to the lake to wash your hands, okay?"
If he wasn't afraid of scaring the boy, Gu Wenheng really wanted to slap the earthworm away from his hand.
Turning his head to look at the river, Gu Benluo chose to drop the earthworm in his hand and ran directly to the river holding Gu Wenheng's hand.
Jin Qianqian let out a breath, tied the fishing line into a knot neatly, made a simple float fishing rod, chose a place and started to cast the hook.
Nanny Duan and the others also started to get busy. They learned about wild vegetables and began to pick them nearby. The rest of the people started to build pots and stoves, giving Jin Qianqian the illusion that they were still fleeing.
They are just some glamorous "refugees".
Gradually, I saw several groups of people led by villagers coming in. They either found a place to rest or headed straight for the Daqing Mountain not far ahead.
Seeing that they all carried weapons, I knew that these people wanted to go into the mountains to hunt.
Gu Wenheng was playing and watching the fun with his children, but he didn't expect that at this time a scholar in a gray robe was walking towards him, and he felt that he looked particularly familiar.
"I didn't expect that we are so destined to meet," Gu Wenheng finally remembered that this was the white-robed scholar who sat opposite him during the exam. He was just used to seeing him in a white robe, and today he was wearing a gray robe, which made him a little unpredictable.
"Thank you for your reminder in the dormitory before. My surname is Bai, Bai Shuzhi. May I know your name?" Bai Shuzhi looked grateful. If he had not followed this brother step by step, he might not have done so smoothly in this exam.
Not to mention anything else, his cell was leaking everywhere. If he hadn't been prepared in advance, all his work would have been in vain.
When we left the cell that day, we were all exhausted physically and mentally, and had no way of asking each other where they came from. We didn't expect that we would have such a fate today.
Gu Wenheng also introduced himself. This man in front of him was quite interesting. During the days in the cell, he followed him no matter what he did and was not afraid of being cheated by him.
When he saw water being boiled, he would boil water too. When he saw him sleeping, he would follow suit. The first two times, he thought it was a coincidence, but after nine days, he knew that the person in front of him had been imitating him.
Bai Shuzhi, "Brother Wenheng, a chance meeting is worse than a good meeting. I am going to go hunting in the Daqing Mountain behind. Are you interested in joining me?"
Gu Wenheng glanced at Jin Qianqian who was still fishing seriously and said, "I'm really sorry, I'm afraid I can't do it today."
Following Gu Wenheng's gaze, Bai Shuzhi knew that the other party had brought his family today. He could only regretfully ask for Gu Wenheng's home address and make an appointment to visit him another day. Only then did he leave regretfully at the urging of his friends.
Jin Qianqian also saw the float sinking at this time, and quickly lifted the hook, only to find that the pressure was a bit high, and exclaimed, "Wenheng, come and help."
