Chapter 158: Looking for a living

Chapter 158 Looking for a living

Today, the Luo family did not go out to sell their stalls. Luo Huiniang was at home. She saw Gu Jinli packing things from a distance and looked like he was going up the mountain. She immediately ran to her house and asked, "Xiaoyu, do you want to go up the mountain?"

Without waiting for Gu Jinli to nod, he hurriedly said: "I'll go too, I haven't been in the mountains for a long time."

 She had gone into the mountains at the beginning of the month, and it had been more than half a month ago.

Gu Jinli said: "Okay, you go back and tell your parents, we will set off in a quarter of an hour."

"Okay." Luo Huiniang narrowed her eyes with a smile, ran back to tell her parents, took a hatchet, a sack, dry food and water, and ran to Gu Jinli's house again.

Gu Jinli was ready and standing in the yard waiting for her.

"Just the two of you going into the mountain?" Mrs. Cui was not worried about the two girls going into the mountain, and advised: "Why don't we forget it today, and wait until your elder brother or your father is free someday, and then I will take you and Huiniang." Go into the mountains.”

Gu Jinli said: "Mom, I have learned a few moves from Huiniang. Huiniang's fists and kicks are not weak. We can protect ourselves. You don't have to worry."

Ever since she traveled through time and was reborn, she has continued to practice martial arts every day. She practiced the fighting skills of her previous life, and her moves were deadly. Although her current body is like that of a child and does not have the same strength as her previous life, it is not a problem to defeat a few minions.

Ms. Cui still felt uneasy. After all, they were from a girl's family. If something happened, it would be a lifetime disaster.

"Aunt Dashan." Qin Sanlang was wearing a short jacket, carrying a sack and rope on his back, holding a machete, and taking Gu Dewang with him. He stood energetically at the gate of Gu Jinli's house and said to Cui: "Brother Wang and I are going in. Chopping firewood in the mountains, let the little fish follow us into the mountains."

Gu Dewang was carrying a pole on his shoulder, with two bundles of rope hanging on the pole, which were used to bundle firewood. He was still eating the candy he snatched from He San Laizi, and said vaguely: "Uncle Dashan Liang, oh, oh, we will protect Sister Xiaoyu."

Luo Huiniang looked at Gu Dewang's saliva and said with disgust: "Brother Wang, wipe your saliva, it's too embarrassing."

"Oh." Gu Dewang raised his hand and wiped some saliva with his sleeve, which made Luo Huiniang feel sick.

When the third grandma saw her, she scolded Mrs. Chen and brought a piece of linen handkerchief to Brother Wang: "Take it and use it to wipe your mouth and blow your nose. Don't use your hands again."

Gu Dewang smiled and put away the veil: "I know, Third Grandma."

Looking at Gu Dewang's silly look, the third grandma shook her head helplessly, told Gu Jinli to say a few words to Luo Huiniang, then turned around and went back to the house to get busy.

"Mother, we are leaving, please come back." Gu Jinli waved to Ms. Cui, took Luo Huiniang with her, and followed Qin Sanlang out of the yard, around to the path behind Qin's house, and walked towards the mountain.

I saw a young man wearing a black shorts from a distance, it was Qin Erlang.

 Qin Erlang was still the same as before, not paying much attention to them. Even if there was such a big incident yesterday, it was Mr. Qin and Qin Sanlang who came forward. He knew about it and did not come to help.

“The second brother went into the mountains to cut firewood.” Qin Sanlang explained.

The second brother didn't like Xiaoyu and his family. He never helped grind beans and only went into the mountains to chop firewood. He could do this job by himself. It was very quiet and he didn't have to deal with others.

Although grandpa was dissatisfied with him being so unsociable, he didn't say anything. Now grandpa is burning incense as long as his second brother stays in the south peacefully.

Gu Jinli nodded and did not ask Qin Erlang about anything. Qin Erlang was too gloomy and had some life-threatening secrets. She didn't want to risk exploring Qin Erlang's secrets.

The group of people walked towards Dafeng Mountain. Qin Erlang probably saw them and saw that they were going forward, so he walked to the shallow mountain on the left to avoid them.

Gu Jinli and the others didn't care, and walked into the mountain while picking the delicacies in the mountain.

It is now the end of February, and many wild vegetables have broken through the ground, and they have grown a lot. They dug all the way, and when they reached the mountains, everyone had a bundle of wild vegetables in their hands. Amaranthus amaranth, bracken, malantou, etc. Gu Jinli also dug up a lot of medicinal materials and planned to take them home and plant them.

After they walked for an hour, Qin Sanlang said: "There are a lot of dead trees here, let's cut them down here."

 When they go into the mountains to cut firewood, they usually cut down trees that are mostly eaten by insects. These trees are almost dead and are easier to cut down, and it is not a pity to cut them down.

"Okay." Gu Jinli pointed to a forest on the right and said, "I'll go there to find delicacies and see if I can catch pheasants or rabbits."

"Okay." Qin Sanlang nodded, already holding the machete to chop down a half-dead tree.

Gu Dewang picked up fallen branches on the ground, trampled off the two-finger-wide branches, piled them together, and tied them up with ropes.

Luo Huiniang has already run around, looking for food and rabbit nests in the mountains.

Gu Jinli walked all the way to the forest on the right. Some time ago, she went into the mountains to look for spices, and she saw the mountain mushrooms that had just emerged in this forest. The mountain mushroom should be grown now, she can just dig it up.

Gu Jinli walked for more than a quarter of an hour, scraping the ground with branches, and soon found the Mountain God Mushroom under a rotten leaf.

The mountain mushroom is white, like a closed umbrella, with a ring of dazzling red at the root. It is this ring of red that carries a toxin that targets men.

The mountain mushroom is edible and tastes very delicious. Women will be fine if they eat it, but if a man has **** within twelve hours after eating it, it will kill him.

In her last life, she was on a mission and went to a mountain village. There was a man in the village who suddenly died while doing errands with his wife. At first, everyone thought that the man was too excited and died immediately. Later I found out that it was not an accident, but eating mountain mushrooms, which caused Ma Feng's sudden death.

 The one who gave him mountain mushrooms was his wife.

She heard about this, and out of professional instinct, she went to pick a few fresh mountain mushrooms for experiments. Sure enough, she found that the fungi contained toxins that could induce windstorms.

 And if you don't have modern instruments and equipment, you can't detect this kind of toxin at all. Therefore, in ancient times, this mountain mushroom was a necessary medicine for poisoning and murder.

Gu Jinli took out a small cloth bag and picked ten mountain mushrooms. He also picked some medicinal materials in the forest, then went out of the forest to help Qin Sanlang and others chop firewood.

The four of us worked in the mountains for two hours, chopped ten bundles of firewood, hunted a few pheasants, and found a nest of eggs before heading home.

Qin Sanlang was very strong, so he carried four bundles of firewood alone. The remaining six bundles of firewood were divided into three loads, one for each of Gu Jinli, Luo Huiniang and Gu Dewang.

Gu Dewang was young, and his load of firewood was made of dead branches, weighing about thirty kilograms. He could carry it back by himself.

The four of them walked around for more than an hour before leaving the mountain and reaching the path behind the house.

Just as he was about to enter the path, a figure jumped out, it was He Sanshengzi.

He Sanleizi came here to ask for a job. He informed Gu Jinli yesterday just to make a good sale.

"Auntie, Brother Qin, Brother Wang, and girls from the Luo family, are you back from the mountains? Oh, you have dug so many wild vegetables and pheasants. You have gained a lot from this trip." He Sanleizi rubbed his hands. , kept complimenting, but they were not familiar with each other at all. The more he complimented, the more awkward the atmosphere became.

Luo Huiniang knew that He San Leizi was a bastard. Seeing that he was blocking the way, she immediately shouted: "Get out of here, or my aunt will beat you up."
