Along the way, he asked many questions. While he was talking, his eyes were shining and he found everything strange.
"Dad, big brother, how many days will it take to walk from here to Yujiashan? I've grown up but I seem to have never been there before..."
Gu Yanzhang took out a gourd, drank a sip of water, and then replied slowly, "It doesn't take long to walk from our Gujiagang to Yujiashan. Just four hours. Let's walk faster while it's still daylight."
"It's not safe in the deep mountains and old forests at night. There are tigers over there, not to mention here."
After saying this, Gu Yanzhang earnestly admonished his two sons, "When you walk, do more and look around. Don't just keep your head down and walk. Sometimes, there are many man-eating gangs lying in ambush beside this small mountain path..."
"People from Yujiashan always go out in groups. Sometimes there are hundreds of people, sometimes there are dozens. Fortunately, it is still late autumn. The ferocious wild animals in the forest can still fill their stomachs. Once it is late winter and the early spring when there is a shortage of food, no one dares to go out of Yujiashan. We outsiders don't dare to go in either. Because the tigers and bears at that time have been hungry for a whole winter, they are particularly ferocious. They want to eat people when they see them..."
Hearing this, Gu Dazhu and Gu Erzhu couldn't help but shiver.
Gu Erzhu didn't dare to speak at this time.
In silence, the three of them quickened their pace and hurried on their way.
It was supposed to be a four-hour journey, but they managed to do it in only three hours.
When it was still light, that is, in the evening, the three of them finally arrived at the mountain nest of Yujia Mountain.
The main reason why Yujia Mountain is called Yujia Mountain is because people with the surname Yu live here.
Especially in that mountain nest.
There is a small river flowing from east to west. Moreover, it is a safe haven.
The most important thing is that both sides of the river are all fertile fields that can be used to grow food.
Although there are not many fertile fields, for the people here, this is already a very good place.
More than a hundred families live side by side in this area. From a distance, it looks like a beautiful pastoral scenery.
It was not completely dark outside yet. The more diligent farmers were either fishing in the river or checking the farmland.
Seeing people from other villages coming, the Yu family hurried over to greet them.
"Which village are you from? Who are you looking for?"
Gu Yanzhang smiled and greeted them. "My mother's surname is Yu. She married into the Gu family several decades ago. I haven't visited my eldest and second uncles for a long time. Today I brought my two sons here to teach them to recognize their relatives..."
Hearing what Gu Yanzhang said, some of the elders of the Yu family looked at Gu Yanzhang carefully.
They found him particularly familiar and noticed that the basket behind him was full of things.
He became very enthusiastic towards Gu Yanzhang and his two sons.
"So it's you? Hahahaha, I still remember you! I remember when you were little, you often played in our village!"
"Come on, I'll show you the way. By the way, your uncle's name is Da Hu, right?"
Gu Yanzhang nodded after hearing this.
"Yes! In fact, I haven't been here for only six or seven years. How come you don't recognize me?"
"Grandpa, you should go and do your own thing. I know my uncle's and second uncle's homes very well! I know this road."
After saying this, Gu Yanzhang pulled his two sons and walked forward desperately.
However, Yujiashan has always been a relatively closed place. Throughout the year, you rarely have so many strangers coming.
Although everyone knows that Gu Yanzhang is a relative of Dahu's family.
However, the two brothers Dahu and Erhu have been dead for nearly ten years. At this time, their family still has relatives who bring a lot of things to ask for favors, and the people of the Yu family followed Gu Yanzhang in groups, wanting to see the hustle and bustle here.
The sons and more than ten grandchildren of Yu Dahu and Erhu's family were surprised and happy when they heard from the people in the village that their family had wealthy relatives coming.
The only person in their minds was Gu Yanzhang, who had taken care of them in Tongzhen.
"Mom, my eldest cousin is here with his two sons. Hurry up and kill a chicken!"
"Son, are you really going to kill a chicken? But we only have this one chicken! It lays eggs every day. If we save a lot of eggs, we can sell them in town..."
"Mom, stop nagging. It's a rare occasion for our eldest cousin to come here. If you don't kill a chicken to entertain them, people will laugh at us if this gets out. Hurry up, I'll take my brothers and go to welcome him now!"
After saying this, those ragged men, with groups of children, hurried to the head of Yujia Village.
Seeing that Gu Yanzhang really came and brought a lot of things, Yu Ping'an, Gu Yanzhang's eldest cousin, had bright eyes.
"Cousin, you really came?"
"Hurry up, my mother killed a chicken for you. Our family must have a good meal today."
Gu Yanzhang brought his two sons and followed the group of people to Yu's house.
After arriving at the destination, Gu Dazhu and Gu Erzhu, who had never been here before, still felt a little uncomfortable.
Because the two brothers really didn't expect that the life of the Yu family was even more difficult than their family before.
If these shabby thatched houses continue to fall apart, they will not be able to block the wind or rain.
Moreover, there are almost more than 40 people in this family, right?
Can the adults support so many people?
Moreover, the three of them, father and son, have already arrived here today, and it is impossible for them to go home at night. After all, there are too many ferocious wolves, tigers and leopards in the forest at night. They are also worried about being eaten by them. Therefore, they must stay here tonight.
In this way, can these thatched houses still accommodate them? Just
when the brothers Gu Dazhu and Erzhu had many doubts in their hearts, Yu Ping'an, Yu Fugui...the five brothers all greeted Gu Yanzhang.
"Brother, the five of us brothers have always been thinking about you!"
