Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 138 Back Mountain

After settling Gu Mingchuan down, the brother and sister went back to their room to rest.

The next day, at the hour of Mao.

The brother and sister got up early as usual, and An Yue made a simple breakfast according to the previous plan.

After the three of them had breakfast, An Nian went to the school carrying his cloth bag.

After An Yue watched An Nian leave, she began to clean up the dishes.

After a while, after washing the dishes, she took the broom and swept the floor.

As she was sweeping the floor, she was thinking in her mind that the weather was very good today, so she thought of going to the mountain to see if she could find some medicinal herbs to exchange for money.

After all, the matter of digging the manure pit is imminent, and I don’t know what arrangements the village chief has made in the past two days.

As long as the construction starts, money will be needed, and the money An Yue currently has is not enough.

After she swept the floor, she put away the broom and began to prepare the tools she would need to go up the mountain.

First, prepare the backpack, sickle, small basket, small hoe, and gourd for water.

An Yue came up to Gu Mingchuan and said to him, "Well... you have almost recovered. I told you last night, how about...?"

Gu Mingchuan pointed to the wound on his wrist and said, "This wound...is clearly not healed yet..."

He hesitated and said, "Do you think you can..."

An Yue understood a little bit of what he said, so she simply stopped being polite to him.

She said, "You delayed me for half a day yesterday. I don't have the time to accompany you today."

After that, the two were silent for a long time.

In order to ease the embarrassment, Gu Mingchuan finally asked, "Where are your parents?"

When asked this by Gu Mingchuan, An Yue looked a little unnatural. She did not answer directly, but picked up the gourd in the backpack and went to the kitchen to get water.

An Yue's action once again confirmed Gu Mingchuan's previous inference.

In fact, when An Yue brought him into the yard yesterday, he had already determined that the brother and sister were the people he was looking for.

It's just that after finding it with great difficulty, we are about to be driven out.

How could he just leave like this? He had to find a way to stay in this home.

Gu Mingchuan followed An Yue to the kitchen. He said to An Yue apologetically, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked too much."

At this time, after An Yue filled the water, she turned around and found that Gu Mingchuan's hand was hanging down, and the wound began to bleed again.

An Yue quickly placed the gourd in her hand on the stove and asked Gu Mingchuan to lift his hand.

"Can you be more careful? Your wrist is bleeding again." An Yue glared at Gu Mingchuan and said.

Afterwards, An Yue quickly went to the room and found two long pieces of cloth. She skillfully tied knots at both ends of the cloth.

Then the cloth was hung diagonally around Gu Mingchuan's neck, and finally Gu Mingchuan's arms were placed on the cloth to secure it so that his hands would not hang down.

Gu Mingchuan took the opportunity to say aggrievedly: "Look, this wound hasn't healed yet. If I run into those bandits again when I go out, won't I be dead for sure?"

An Yue thought to herself: [Humph! We are both foxes with thousands of years of experience, and you are still pretending to be a kitten. ]

She pretended not to hear clearly and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Gu Mingchuan said: "No... I mean, maybe if I stay, I can help you with some things within my ability."

"What will you do?" An Yue turned around and asked him seriously.

"If you don't know how, you can learn!" Gu Mingchuan said with a guilty conscience.

An Yue felt a little puzzled. Gu Mingchuan could obviously leave, but from the look on his face, it was clear that he didn't want to leave.

Could it be that he has other intentions?

An Yue was thinking, what could he be after? Money or sex?

Now I am just a poor girl from a poor mountain village. I have no money, but how can I have a good figure?

An Yue looked at her figure carefully. Her face looked okay, but she was so skinny that she looked no more than a ten-year-old girl.

However, at present, Gu Mingchuan's wound does need further care, but the conditions at home are really limited.

He was asked to go back to his own home to raise the child, but he was unwilling to leave and even volunteered to do the hard labor.

An Yue thought, if you don’t leave, then I won’t be polite.

"I'm going to the mountains to dig herbs today. If you don't leave and insist on staying, you have to work. I can't support you for nothing."

Gu Mingchuan was so happy to hear An Yue say this that he couldn't stop smiling.

"Okay, I'll do my best." After Gu Mingchuan said that, he took the gourd filled with water on the stove and walked towards the hall.

An Yue carried the backpack on her back and closed the door of the east room. She walked in front and Gu Mingchuan followed behind, heading towards the back mountain.

The sun was warm at this time, and the two were walking along the edge of the mountain.

With Gu Mingchuan's company, An Yue became bolder and walked towards the forest.

As soon as you enter the forest, you will see a bamboo forest.

The two walked in the bamboo forest, and An Yue looked around.

"Bah!"

An Yue's foot seemed to be hit by something.

She squatted down to look at her feet, fortunately her feet were not hurt.

She looked carefully at the ground and saw a spring bamboo shoot that had just emerged from the ground. An Yue was instantly surprised.

Looking at this large bamboo forest, there must be countless spring bamboo shoots.

An Yue thought to herself, wouldn’t it be great if spring bamboo shoots could be exchanged for money?

Gu Mingchuan, who was walking in front, saw An Yue squatting and grinning, and asked unhappily, "Are you still leaving?"

"Just keep moving forward. Do you know what I'm looking for?"

When asked this by An Yue, Gu Mingchuan raised his hand and scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.

An Yue was planning in her mind that in a few days, all the bamboo shoots would emerge from the ground, and then she would definitely come here to dig them.

An Yue stood up and prepared to continue walking forward. If there was no new discovery, she would just go to the Ophiopogon japonicus field and dig Ophiopogon japonicus.

After walking a few steps, An Yue saw several tea trees in front of her.

An Yue looked at the tea tree in front of her. It was growing quite tall, about the size of a small bowl, and there were dense ferns growing under the tree.

Gu Mingchuan looked at An Yue standing there motionless, still looking up, and asked curiously, "What are you looking at?"

"Here! Tea tree." An Yue winked at him and said.

"What's so good about this?"

"You know what! Tea trees grow very slowly. Even though it's only this size, it may have lived here for hundreds of years."

Gu Mingchuan heard An Yue say this and couldn't help but repeat in surprise: "Hundred...hundred years?"

An Yue nodded and continued, "A young man like you only knows how to drink tea, so naturally you don't even know what a tea tree looks like."

As they talked, they walked forward and found that there were several toon trees several dozen meters high near the edge of the mountain.

At this time, small tender buds are already faintly visible on the branches of the toon tree.

An Yue thought to herself that the Chinese toon on the hillside had already sprouted, but the Chinese toon in the mountain had not yet sprouted. It should be because the temperature on the mountain is lower, so the sprouting will naturally be later.

The taste of scrambled eggs with Chinese toon is absolutely unique. When I go to the town in the next two days, I must ask around to see if anyone wants to buy Chinese toon sprouts.
