All day long today, those who borrowed food from Gujiagang were beaming with joy, with a dazzling glow on their faces.

The reason why they were so happy was that each of them knew in their hearts that they didn’t have to pay back the so-called “borrowing”!

After all, they borrowed it with their own ability, so why should those people ask them to pay it back? ! Besides

, in this place, they are all relatives, and their blood relationship is thicker than water.

With such a close relationship, if they have to pay back the borrowed food, it would be too hurtful!

There should still be a lot of affection between relatives. It’s too unpleasant to talk about whether to lend or

not... Since Gu Yanzhang’s family has made a fortune, it’s okay for him to share more with them.

Anyway, his family has plenty of money!

Anyway, his family has more food than they can eat!

Thinking of this, the people in Gujiagang laughed especially happily when they ate the borrowed food.

After all, free things are still very fragrant.

Those who "borrowed" more food are now laughing secretly.

Those who "borrowed" less food are now regretting it.

If they had known this, they should not have cared about their own face at the beginning!

Not grabbing all the food that can be grabbed, and getting real benefits for yourself, that is the hard truth!

...

Gu Yanzhang and Chen Xuanxuan inspected the market in the county town for a whole morning.

In the afternoon, after they had a quick lunch in their shop, they hurriedly boarded a boat and went straight to Tongzhen.

After arriving in the bustling Tongzhen, Gu Yanzhang took Chen Xuanxuan to find Jiang's shop.

There, they first ordered three clay pots.

These three clay pots were actually just samples.

Their shapes, styles, colors, textures, etc. would all be different.

After the things were made, if Gu Yanzhang and Chen Xuanxuan liked one of them very much, then Jiang's craftsmen would perfect the clay pot according to their requirements.

In this way, the finished product they make will definitely make them particularly satisfied...

The things fired in Jiang's kiln are well-known in this place.

Especially the things customized by customers.

The quality is generally excellent.

However, the cost is a bit expensive. In

addition, the deposit they have to pay is still relatively large.

Chen Xuanxuan was distressed, but she still took out a full one or two taels of silver from her own pocket.

Just a few dozen sand pots, but it cost two taels of silver...

This is too expensive!

On the basis of this money, if she adds a little more money, she can build a new house at home.

Know that there is gain only when there is sacrifice.

Chen Xuanxuan didn't have much hesitation. After giving the money and signing a contract, she followed Gu Yanzhang on the way home.

When Gu Yanzhang and Chen Xuanxuan returned home, it was already very late.

Chen Xuanxuan conservatively estimated that the time was about 9:30 in the evening.

For modern people, 9:30 in the evening is the beginning of nightlife.

Many people have just finished dinner and can watch a movie or a drama.

However, for the vast majority of ancient rural people, they would have fallen asleep at this time.

In order to save oil and firewood, many people would go to bed as soon as it got dark. They would get up before dawn in the morning.

This was the case every day and every night.

Therefore, when Gu Yanzhang took Chen Xuanxuan home, no one was walking around in Gujiagang.

All they could hear at this moment was the cooing of night owls

, the howling of wolves and ghosts from afar, and the whistling of cold wind through the forest.

They felt that the night in the countryside was particularly scary, as if there were some man-eating beasts hiding in the dark. Chen Xuanxuan was extremely scared and subconsciously thought of the horror movies she had watched before.

What old corpse in the mountain village...

and what midnight bell...

When the two of them walked past an abandoned dry well at the entrance of the village, Chen Xuanxuan was still thinking with a pale face, this well seems to be the well that Zhenzi likes to climb...

Just as she was thinking about it, she seemed to really catch a cry of sadness and despair... She

couldn't bear it anymore, and Chen Xuanxuan, who was holding Gu Yanzhang tightly, lowered her voice and whispered in his ear, "Boss, did you hear the crying?"

Gu Yanzhang was stunned for a moment, and soon, he nodded heavily in Chen Xuanxuan's tears.

"You heard it too?"

Knowing that he really heard it, Chen Xuanxuan was so scared that she covered her mouth.

Oh my god, they seemed to have really encountered a ghost in the middle of the night...

When she thought of what people in ancient times always said, "If you walk too much at night, you will always encounter ghosts", Chen Xuanxuan secretly swore in her heart that she would never go out at night again from now on.

It was okay if they didn't encounter dirty things or man-eating beasts. Once they encountered dirty things or man-eating beasts, the two of them would not be enough to fill their stomachs. Just

when Chen Xuanxuan urged Gu Yanzhang to hurry up, Gu Yanzhang was actually preparing to walk in the direction of the dry well.

"What are you doing?! Boss!"

"You..."

Gu Yanzhang pursed his lips and said to Chen Xuanxuan, "Wife, the crying sound came from that well."

Hearing this, Chen Xuanxuan felt that her heart was about to stop in fear.

It turned out that there was something in that well...

Just as Chen Xuanxuan stood there, not daring to move, Gu Yanzhang had already walked to the well and began to carefully check the situation inside.

He looked carefully for a long time, but still couldn't see anything.

There was nothing here except for gusts of cold wind.

So, when he turned around, he said to Chen Xuanxuan seriously, "Wife, I think we heard it wrong just now."

"The crying just now should be the wind in the mountains..."

Before he finished speaking, a series of hoarse cries for help came from the well, "Save me! Please save me!"

Hearing someone calling for help, Chen Xuanxuan was frightened, confused, and hesitant for a moment.

In this short time, she really couldn't tell whether the sound was from a human or something unspeakable.

If...

what they encountered was a ghost,...

Before Chen Xuanxuan could think clearly, Gu Yanzhang had already started to think of a way to rescue the person in the well.

So, he began to look for that long vine everywhere.

Despite Chen Xuanxuan's disapproval, Gu Yanzhang still threw the vine into the well.
