Chapter 60 61. Guo Yurong
Seeing that all the plates were empty, Guo Yurong put down her bowl and chopsticks with a sense of unsatisfied satisfaction.
"Such a delicious meal would be even more perfect if we had some wine."
Gu Wenheng carefully moved the beer bottle behind him to behind Jin Qianqian. He had wanted to invite the other party to have a drink, but when he saw how he was wolfing down the food, he gave up the idea.
However, the other party was only focused on eating and didn't mention this at all. It seemed that he didn't care much about the drink in the cup.
"How do you rest in the mountains and forests at night?" After satisfying her oral desire, Guo Yurong also had the leisure to continue observing.
"By the way, I am honored to be entertained by you. I haven't asked you your name yet?"
Gu Wenheng briefly introduced himself and Jin Qianqian, just avoiding his previous question.
The other party didn't take it seriously, just looked up at the white lantern hanging on the ceiling and asked, "Did you buy this from that foreign merchant?"
Jin Qianqian nodded, "Don't you think it's very practical? It's a pity that he only had one at the time, and the number of times he could use it was limited. When something inside ran out, it would stop lighting up."
"Is there such a strange thing?" Guo Yurong gently raised her hand to touch it, then quickly put it back, "Isn't it hot?"
Jin Qianqian was trying not to laugh, and Gu Wenheng was pinching his palms. "I don't know what can make it shine, but it's not hot. We put in a lot of effort to get the other party to give it up."
"You two are really lucky," Guo Yurong couldn't help but put his hand on it and touch it. The smooth touch made him feel that this thing was even more rare and precious.
He was not stupid, he understood the other party's implicit meaning, even if he liked this thing, he would not force him to do anything.
“I’m sorry for disturbing you today. It’s fate that we meet. And you two young friends have treated me to such delicious food. It’s just a small token of my appreciation. Please don’t mind.” As he said that, he took out two brocade bags and placed them on the table.
Seeing the two people's puzzled eyes, Guo Yurong then remembered their reactions when they heard her name before. It seemed that these two people were not from the underworld and did not know her.
"This is the beast repellent bag I prepared myself. All you need to do is carry it with you, and the beasts on this mountain will avoid you."
Jin Qianqian, "Are you a doctor?"
Guo Yurong shook her head. "My ancestors were involved in medicine making. These are just some of the prescriptions passed down. After being verified by several generations, the effects are still very good."
Gu Wenheng, "Thank you so much, this is exactly what we need right now. It's a pity that we don't have anything to give you right now, I hope you can forgive me."
Guo Yurong walked over and unzipped the zipper like Gu Wenheng did before, and exclaimed again, "This mechanism is really ingenious. The setting of this door curtain is really ingenious."
Jin Qianqian pinched Gu Wenheng with her fingers, trying her best not to make an impolite laugh, but she didn't know that the man in front of her, due to the slight pain, lowered the corners of his mouth.
When they stood outside the tent, Guo Yurong sighed a few more times before bidding them farewell.
Apart from the hotpot meal they had together, neither party knew the other's origins or whereabouts, nor did they think of delving deeper.
I thought this meeting was just a chance encounter, but I didn't expect there would be such a fate.
Gu Wenheng made sure that no one was around before he went back into the tent and zipped it up.
"We have to be more careful in the future. If we had entered the space instantly just now, based on the shadows under the light, it would definitely arouse the other party's suspicion." Gu Wenheng felt that the two of them had to be more cautious in the future.
Maybe Guo Yurong would not believe his previous excuses, nor would she think of digging into the truth. If it were someone with a little more ulterior motive, Gu Wenheng might even think of killing people.
"I was a little nervous at the time, thinking that there was no one in the deep mountains, and even if they appeared, they would be ghosts." Jin Qianqian felt that if this happened a few more times, her heart would not be able to take it.
"Now that these things have passed the clear road, we can only carry them on our shoulders in the future. This also gives us a cover for taking the things."
Jin Qianqian was somewhat curious about Guo Yurong's background, "You said he was holding a sword, could he be a martial artist?"
"You still know about the martial arts world?" Gu Wenheng smiled, "I just don't know if there is any legendary kung fu. I'm a little itchy and want to find someone to learn from."
Jin Qianqian put her hands on his shoulders and pressed them, "Your bones have already grown into shape, I don't think you can do anything special with your training, you should find another way out!"
"It turns out that the heroine is a hidden talent, and now I'm showing it to you." Gu Wenheng was also happy to cooperate, and the two began to practice Tai Chi, going back and forth, and they were so busy that they almost forgot where they were.
"What do you want to do in the future?" Jin Qianqian suddenly stared at him seriously, "Are you going back to Kaoshan Village to farm those two acres of land?"
They were only concerned with escaping before, but now that they finally have some free time, they have to plan some things.
"Scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans," Gu Wenheng muttered, "According to our economics studies, business is our best choice."
Jin Qianqian, "So you want to do business?"
Gu Wenheng shook his head, "No, I want to be a scholar and a businessman. In this world, you won't be told about democracy and fairness. If you only have money in your hands, it's not enough to be exploited.
Scholar? Without connections, you can’t climb to a high position, so I have to be the one who has both money and status, so that you won’t be wronged. "
"What about me?" Jin Qianqian pointed at herself, "What can I do?"
"Everything I own will be yours," Gu Wenheng patted her head soothingly, "You will be the mistress of the house from now on, and everything in our house will be in your name."
Jin Qianqian looked at him suspiciously, "You said it, I will take it seriously."
Gu Wenheng, "Don't forget, I am a poor refugee. Our family started with your dowry. No matter how much property we have in the future, it will all be yours."
Jin Qianqian looked into his serious eyes and knew that this was the senior making a promise to her.
"Alas, it's too early to talk about this now," Jin Qianqian couldn't help herself, "We should think about how to survive and where to find a place to settle down in the most realistic way."
Gu Wenheng: “…”, she is really a master at destroying the atmosphere, and she succeeds every time.

Gu Sanbu tucked the quilt tightly around himself and told his eldest son, "Tell the people on night watch to be alert. If anything goes wrong, notify everyone immediately."
He now had a shadow in his heart, and always felt that there was something staring at them from the dark mountains around him.
Gu Shulin put another piece of clothing on his legs and said, "Rest assured, I will explain everything to you later."
Thank you all for your blessings. I have no way to repay you, so I can only update more! (°з°)-
