Chapter 56: Night Visit to Peach Blossom Land
In other words, everyone in the Gu family was dumbfounded.
Especially Mrs. Gu, who was being scrambled to be supported by everyone, her usually stern face suddenly showed a lot of embarrassment.
But this embarrassment is also a blessing. When you arrive in an unfamiliar place, it is always happy to be welcomed by others.
The entire village lined the streets to welcome them. Naturally, the Gu family had never seen such a scene before.
Even earlier, the common people who came to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince off at the city gate were not so enthusiastic.
So the Gu family discovered a frustrating fact.
A quarter of an hour later, even though half the villagers had come to help move the things, they were still at the village entrance. Gu Jia answered everyone's questions while struggling to move forward.
Even Gu Lang looked helpless, but it was difficult to refuse the enthusiastic villagers.
After a long time, the Gu family finally waited for someone to rescue them.
"Everyone, please stop for a moment. It's getting late now. Let's get them settled first and then we can talk about other things."
The speaker was the village chief of Anju Village, who had rushed back from the wasteland without stopping after receiving the news.
After hearing what the old village chief said, everyone thought it made sense, so they immediately dispersed the people and let them go into the village first to find a place to live.
"Master Gu, may I ask if you plan to stay in Anju Village permanently this time?"
Although the old village chief had only met Gu Lang once or twice, he could tell that the other party's demeanor was not that of an ordinary person, and he subconsciously addressed him with more respect.
Gu Lang bowed and said:
"Village Chief, please call me Gu Lang from now on. The Gu family plans to live permanently in Anju Village. The land deed for the house has been approved by the government. Please help me find the location of this house, old village chief."
After saying that, he took out the land deed from his sleeve and showed it to the old village chief.
The old village chief took a look and murmured:
"This house has been vacant for several years. Why don't I organize the villagers to repair it for a few days before the Gu family moves in?"
The old village chief remembered the kindness that the Gu family had shown to Anju Village, so he didn't want the Gu family to live in a house that had been ownerless for a long time. He wanted to have it cleaned up before letting the Gu family move in.
Gu Lang looked at the sky and found that it was not too late, so he declined the old village chief's kindness of mobilizing so many people:
"Thank you, old village chief. If the house is habitable, there is no need to repair it."
Knowing that Gu Lang didn't want to cause trouble for the villagers, the old village chief had no choice but to nod:
"Well, I'll take you there right away. If it's suitable for you, please help me clean up tonight and you can stay here with peace of mind. If it's not suitable for you, please don't refuse to stay at my house temporarily, Mr. Gu."
Upon hearing this, Gu Lang naturally agreed.
So the old village chief Gu Lang walked in front, and Wang, Gu Feixue and the other four followed behind. Beside them was Old Lady Gu who was supported by the old village chief's wife, and half of the village's men, women and children followed them.
When everyone arrived at the large open space on the east side of the river and the slightly dilapidated-looking house behind the open space, the old village chief still felt something was wrong.
How could they let their benefactor live in such a dilapidated place? Especially since it was less than a mile from the nearest mountain, what would they do if wild animals came down from the mountain at night?
While everyone looked hesitant, Gu Feixue was very satisfied with this residence.
It is close to the mountains, so when she goes to look for Rong Qi or go up the mountain, she won’t have to pass through the village, and it is also a little quieter here.
Although she has come into contact with many people in her life, she still likes quietness in her heart. If she lives in the center of the village, she can imagine the lively scenes every day in the future.
Not only that, this place is close to mountains and water, it seems that she is going to get rich.
Gu Feixue seemed to see Yin Zi running towards her, while Gu Sang and Gu Da were a little confused when they saw the heroine's glowing eyes.
The rest of the Gu family also wanted to keep things simple. After repeated refusals, the old village chief finally gave up.
Without the old village chief's request, the villagers spontaneously came forward to help the Gu family clean up the yard. During this time, many people hurried home and distributed the relief food they had received in recent days to the Gu family.
The Gu family was so moved that they couldn't even describe it, even though they had bought bedding, pots, pans and food when they came.
But when he saw the villagers taking out the disaster relief food that they had saved by living frugally, he couldn't help but be moved.
The old village chief deliberately pulled Gu Lang to a deserted place and asked him if the Gu family had any difficulties and whether they needed to speak to the villagers.
Gu Lang couldn't help but be moved.
No wonder the people in Anju Village did this. It turned out that they thought the Gu family had offended others and were driven to Anju Village.
Even so, these villagers not only did not avoid suspicion, but also took out their limited food.
"Thank you, Village Chief. The Gu family is safe. Please allow the villagers to take these precious grains back."
The old village chief waved his hand and said, "Since they have brought it, it is a token of their kindness. How can we take it back? Don't worry, the food distributed daily in Liangcheng is enough for everyone to eat."
Afterwards, the Gu family came and went, with figures everywhere. After dark, not only did the Gu family finish cleaning up, but even the small half-acre of land in the yard had been loosened and watered by the diligent villagers.
Although the yard is still old, it is clean and tidy, and not at all as dilapidated as when I first arrived.
Gu Lang wanted to pay some wages, but the villagers not only refused to accept it, but some of them even got angry.
Everyone said that if they asked for more compensation, it would mean that the Gu family treated them as outsiders.
In desperation, the Gu family had to accept it all.
As it got darker, the villagers went back home to cook.
The old village chief and his daughter-in-law Liu Zhang invited the Gu family to their home for dinner to welcome them.
Unable to refuse such a kind offer, the Gu family agreed.
The old village chief lives not far from the village entrance, and his courtyard is about the same size as Gu's.
At the dinner table, the old village chief's eldest son Liu Dazhu asked Gu Lang:
"Uncle Gu is staying in Anju Village this time. Do you have any plans to buy some land?"
Gu Lang naturally told the truth: "To be honest, the ten acres of land in front of this house was allocated to the Gu family by the government."
"That's great! This way, Uncle Gu and you can tend to the crops right here, without having to go out to the wasteland."
Gu Lang sighed inwardly when he heard this. The Gu family had no one who knew how to farm, so even if they had land, it would probably just remain vacant.
However, little did he know that Gu Feixue had already started planning the use of that piece of land in her mind.
Although the food at the village chief's house did not include meat and fish, the food consisted of white porridge, pickled vegetables, and corn steamed buns, and everyone enjoyed it very much.
In this way, the Gu family has established a firm foothold in Anju Village.
Wang and Old Lady Gu learned how to cook simple meals on the stove. Gu Lang and Gu Tingchuan cleaned up a storage room and used it as a study, where they reviewed their lessons every day in preparation for the local provincial examination in Liangcheng next year.
Gu Feixue, Gu Sang and Gu Da strolled around the village every day and got to know many children in the village.
Three days later.
That night, after Gu Feixue confirmed that Gu Sang was asleep, she got up and used her lightness skills to go to Rong Qi.
The purpose of her trip was to get her own ten acres of land.
If these lands are used to grow crops, it would definitely not be cost-effective. It would be better to grow herbs.
Rong Qi has so many herbs, and their qualities are almost the same, which means that he is likely to grow them himself instead of picking them from the mountains.
Half an hour later, Gu Feixue arrived at the Merlin Formation, and easily broke the formation and entered Peach Blossom Land.
The mountain where Taoyuan is located is called Taoyuan Mountain. This mountain range is almost as steep as Ruyi Mountain.
I think Rong Qi and the other two were able to settle down in Taoyuan Mountain and set up the Merlin formation, so they must be good at martial arts.
When I arrived at the medicine cabinet filled with herbs, I found that Rong Qi and Rong Xing were not there.
Just as I was wondering, Rong Xing's voice came from behind me:
"I was wondering who was breaking into Peach Blossom Land at night, but it turns out to be you, little girl!"
Rong Xing rubbed his sleepy eyes, his tone not quite good.
Gu Feixue did not shy away from him and immediately asked:
"Where's Rong Qi? I need to talk to him about something. Please ask him to come out."
