Chapter 180 People Have Not Returned

Chapter 180 People Have Not Returned

After putting the bayonet into the system backpack, Gu Tang was quite satisfied with the random gift package drawn this time. At least his personal safety was guaranteed.

The only drawback is that it would be better if the bayonet was replaced with a crossbow with extremely high lethality.

But this is not a big problem. She can sign in a few more times. Maybe she will get lucky. No one can predict such luck.

Picking up the hatchet, axe and other items on the ground, Gu Tang put them back in the backyard and kitchen one by one, as he would use them again tomorrow.

I returned to the house and looked at the backflow incense. The surface of the incense was still smooth and oily, without a single crack or fading. It was almost dry and just needed to be left for another day or two.

When her father comes back tomorrow, they can go sell incense the day after tomorrow.

Gu Tang had expected everything, but she didn't expect that her father Gu Lianshan didn't come back the next day.

The next morning, the first thing Gu Tang did after waking up was to go to check the backflow incense. At this time, the backflow incense was almost dry. She was in a very good mood and waited quietly in the house for her father to come back.

She waited from morning till night, but she didn't even see her father come back!

Gu Tang, who was not too worried at first, became restless when it got dark.

I went to the main hall to find my third uncle and asked him for advice on whether I should ask someone to look for it.

Third Uncle has been worried the whole day. When he heard Gu Tang's suggestion to find someone to look for her, he naturally had no objection. The only difference was, where should they look?

"When your father left, he didn't say where he was going. He just said he would be back today. Even if we find someone to look for him, where should we look for him?"

Gu Tang was stunned, and he had obviously forgotten about it. He immediately looked annoyed: "I saw that he looked unhappy yesterday, but I didn't ask him. Now I don't know where to look for him!"

"Sister, don't worry." Gu Ping'an put the pen aside and said soothingly, "You forgot that in the past, in order to earn money, Dad often disappeared for a few days, sometimes two or three days, sometimes four or five days, but he always came back safely."

Gu Tang knew that her father used to follow some people and help some businesses smuggle goods into the city in order to earn money. Although the risk was high, the profit was high.

In addition, the people behind the businesses spent money to appease some of the guards, so nothing has happened over the years.

After earning some money, her father stopped doing it.

"This is different from those things." Gu Tang muttered.

In order to comfort her, Third Uncle told her his previous guess: "I think your father went to ask someone to find a master for your eldest brother. After all the commotion yesterday, he must have been pissed off, so he wanted to send your eldest brother away in a hurry. Wait a little longer. If he doesn't come back tomorrow, I'll ask someone to look for him everywhere."

Gu Tang paused, there was nothing else he could do.

At five quarters past the hour of You, the sky had already completely darkened. Gu Lianshan did not wait for her, but instead waited for Zou, the young daughter-in-law of the clan leader.

Zou was holding a lantern, her feet covered in mud. After knocking on the door of Gu's house, she did not go in. She just stood at the door and said a few words to Gu Tang who came to open the door.

"Yesterday your father took your great uncle and cousin to Bei'an City. Just now your cousin sent someone back with a message saying that the things he wanted to do were not done yet and he had to wait for another two days. In order to prevent you from worrying, he specially asked me to come and tell you."

Hearing this, Gu Tang felt relieved. At the same time, she remembered what her grandfather had just said and believed it a little more.

Even the clan leader has been involved, most likely to send Gu Laian away.

After saying this, Zou didn't stay long. Ignoring Gu Tang's attempts to keep her, she quickly turned around and went home.

After seeing Zou off, Gu Tang closed the courtyard door and bolted it. He walked back to the main room with ease and told his third uncle what had happened.

There was food on the table in the main hall, and the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren were having dinner there. Because she had been worried about her father Gu Lianshan, they had dinner later than usual.

After hearing what Gu Tang said, Third Uncle and Gu Ping'an were very happy. As long as the person was fine, it didn't matter when he could come back.

"Don't mention this matter again after this incident." Gu Tang specifically reminded him, pointing to the east wing, "Don't let him know, otherwise he will make trouble again."

"He can still make a fuss?" Gu Pingan sneered, "In the morning, when he learned that his father was not at home, he said that his nose was blocked. After my grandfather gave him a bowl of hot water, he said that his whole body was sore and he had no strength. He also said that he had a fever and was in great pain.

I don't know if what he said came true, but he really had a fever in the afternoon. He took two bowls of medicine to reduce the fever, and now he can't get up. Don't even mention the fuss. If he can get up, I will give him the word "admiration"! "

Speaking of this, Gu Tang asked worriedly: "He is not having a fever again now, right?" Gu Laian can be burned to death, but not in their hands!

"He doesn't have a fever now. I went to his room to check a few times and checked with the back of my hand. He didn't have a fever."

Gu Tang's eyes moved to her third uncle again, and the third uncle nodded at her: "It's true that the fever has not recurred, but I'm afraid that the fever will suddenly recur in the middle of the night."

"Do you have any more of that medicine?"

The medicine that Gu Laian took was the leftovers from his third uncle, and it was mainly used to reduce fever and relieve heat.

In order not to waste the food, Gu Tang gave Gu Laian two bowls of water in a row, which really helped to reduce his fever.

"There are two more packets." There were only four packets of medicine left in total, and Third Uncle took out all of them.

"Then give him another bowl later. I hope it can serve as a preventive measure." As for whether taking too much of this fever-reducing medicine is good or bad, that is not something Gu Tang considers.

After dinner, Gu Ping'an washed the pots and dishes, while Gu Tang sat at the kitchen door to boil medicine for Gu Laian.

This medicine does not need to be boiled for a long time. After the medicine juice boils, cover it with a lid and simmer over high heat for fifteen minutes.

After the medicine is cooked, pour it into a bowl and let it cool. When it reaches the right temperature, you can bring it over to Gu Laian and ask him to get up and take the medicine.

Originally, Third Uncle wanted to feed Gu Laian himself, but Gu Tang didn't let him. He stepped forward, picked up the medicine bowl, and delivered it to him personally.

Gu Laian was also a person who knew what to do according to the circumstances. If Third Uncle had brought in medicine without any medicine, he could have taken the opportunity to make other requests. But now it was Gu Tang who brought the medicine in, and he didn't dare to say a word and just took the medicine when he was told to.

In fact, he was frightened by the high fever in the afternoon. He thought Gu Tang would take this opportunity to harm him. Although Gu Tang did not do so in the end, he could not forget the look in Gu Tang's eyes when he came in to look at him when he heard that he had a fever.

He couldn't tell what was in that look, but he definitely saw murderous intent in it!

He drank the medicine in one breath. Even though his stomach growled from time to time, Gu Laian never said a word. He put down the medicine bowl and crawled back into the bed, covering even his head with it.

Gu Tang ignored him and walked out of the house with the empty bowl.

After everyone left, Gu Laian finally showed his head, glancing towards the door.

After a while, the half-open door was pushed open again.

Gu Laian shuddered immediately, but after seeing who the person was, his tense emotions barely relaxed.

The person who came in was my third uncle, holding a bowl of porridge and two pickled vegetable meat patties.

Smelling the fragrance, Gu Laian perked up, turned over and sat up, grabbed his clothes and put them on, stretched out his hands, asking his third uncle to pass the meal to him quickly.

"Hurry, hurry! I'm so hungry!"

The third uncle walked up to him quickly with good temper and gave him all the porridge and cakes.

Gu Laian took the porridge and pancakes without saying a single word and started eating.

The Third Uncle didn't care about his attitude, and only warned him meaningfully: "This is at home, you can still show your temper, if you are in someone else's house, you have to change your temper! Do more and talk less, it's better to let people say you are dumb and dull than to let people say you are talkative."

Gu Laian didn't understand the meaning of these words at all. After hearing these words, he just felt very dissatisfied.

He swallowed the biscuit in his mouth, curled his lips and said, "Master, if you want to talk about temper, you should teach those two brats in the west wing a lesson! It's ok that they don't take me, the eldest brother, seriously, but they even dared to hit me! What brother or sister dares to do this?"

At this point, Gu Laian seemed to be getting angrier and angrier. He took a bite of the biscuit and said angrily, "Doing more and talking less is stupid! Others will only think you are easy to bully. As long as you speak nicely and know how to speak, even if you are talkative, you won't be annoying."

Third Uncle was choked and speechless.

In some ways, there was nothing wrong with Gu Laian's rhetoric, but he forgot one thing: he was not the kind of person who could speak nicely and well.

For craftsmen with real skills, they still hope that their apprentices will do more and talk less, and learn to keep their mouths shut about everything.

Gu Laian, who didn't know that he would be kicked out soon, naturally had a completely different opinion from his third uncle.

After seeing this clearly, Third Uncle said no more and stood up and walked out.

When his father comes back, he will explain it to him clearly. I hope he will listen to him then.

After coming out of the east wing, Gu Tang went straight back to the house. At this time, she was using her multi-functional bayonet to cut a bamboo.

Cut the bamboo into the length you want, take out a ball of hemp rope, tie one end of the hemp rope to one end of the bamboo, then wrap the hemp rope around the other end of the bamboo, then tighten it, bend the bamboo, and finally tie a knot.

Soon, an extremely simple bow was made.

Of course, a bow made in this way only looks like a bow but does not function as a bow.

For Gu Tang, as long as it looks good, it doesn’t matter whether it works or not.

After making the bow, she continued to use the bayonet to carve bamboo to make an arrow. No matter what, she wanted to make a complete set.

After sharpening the arrow, Gu Tang held the "bow and arrow" in his arms, called out the system panel, and clicked to sign in.

At the same time, he kept repeating in his mouth: Crossbow, crossbow, crossbow...

She has made the directional objects so realistic, I hope she can get what she wants!

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing today's sign-in! Received a set of traditional bows! ]

Well... this can be considered as fulfilling one's wish, right?

The bow she made was similar to the traditional bow, so the system rewarded her with a traditional bow?

Gu Tang frowned, looking at the reward he received, it felt like a fishbone stuck in his throat!

Do we have to wait until she restores the crossbow before we can sign in to get the crossbow?

He took out the traditional bow he had obtained. Although it was not the crossbow that Gu Tang had been dreaming of, he was still amazed by this bow at first sight.

The black and gold carved bow body, the silver-white bowstring, and the arrows of the same color, at first glance, are quite deceptive!

Its functions include being more durable than ordinary bows and arrows, being faster, and having higher accuracy.

In Gu Tang's opinion, these are useless to her, but she can find an opportunity to sell it. Apart from anything else, just based on its function, it can definitely be sold at a high price!

If you calculate it this way, it's still a profit after all.

After putting away the bow and arrow and throwing aside the bow and arrow he had made by hand, Gu Tang took off his clothes and lay on the bed, thinking about how to make a crossbow by hand.

She had only seen this thing on the Internet in her previous life. Its lethality was indeed extremely high, but she had never seen or touched it in real life.

How should she rub her hands?

The more Gu Tang thought about it, the more helpless he felt. He tossed and turned in bed and finally fell asleep at the end of the Xu hour.

When I woke up the next day, the first thing that came to my mind was the crossbow.

This is really crazy!

After breakfast, before Gu Tang could find tools to try to rub the crossbow with her hands, Gu Ping'an, who was delivering breakfast to the east wing, suddenly ran out and called her.

"Sister! Big brother has a fever again!"

Gu Tang paused, then pointed to the kitchen: "There is one last packet of medicine under the chopping board, take it and cook it and feed it to him!"

"well!"

Hearing the noise, Third Uncle came out of the main hall and looked towards the east wing with some concern. "He was fine last night, why did he have a fever again? Did your father beat him too hard and startled him?"

"He's very tough. When he was at the Gu family at the end of the village, my father beat him much harder because he stole someone's chicken. But he was fine and was alive and kicking the next morning!"

"That's even more wrong! He was able to jump around without any problems when he was beaten harder than this, but why is he having a fever this time? Did he break something inside?"

The more Third Uncle thought about it, the more worried he became. He walked towards the east wing and wanted to ask Gu Laian if he felt any discomfort in his stomach.

Gu Tang didn't think that he was injured. Just look at how fast he ate these past two days. He was as strong as a donkey! Nothing serious!

Thinking about it carefully, she felt that it was Gu Laian himself who was causing trouble.

In order to verify that his guess was correct, Gu Tang decided to go and take a look.

When we arrived at the east wing, the first feeling we had inside the room was that it was cold, as cold as an ice cellar.

When he came to the stove, Gu Tang found that there were a lot of firewood stuffed in it. Strangely, the firewood was only half burned before it went out.

I stretched out my finger to test the charred wood and it was cool.

The stove has been out for at least two hours, otherwise there would be no warmth left in the room.

Most of the firewood piled in the corner of the room was empty. It seemed that Gu Laian had gotten up a lot last night to add firewood to the stove.

Since the stove had been burning wood all night, how could it suddenly go out at dawn?

And there's a faint smell coming from this stove...

It smells so fishy!

Gu Tang bent down and put her nose close to the stove. The foul smell became clearer and clearer. She instantly understood what the smell was and her face turned dark!
