I became an old man in my leisure time

Xiao Man is lively, but she can't sit still.

When Gu Ke doesn't go out, she can stay at home when everyone is together.

At this moment, she twisted her butt on the futon, like a monkey holding back urine.

Hearing Bai Suqing's words, she cheered, jumped up, and followed Gu Ke.

Speaking of stones suitable for making large vats, the most common ones are by the stream.

But it is definitely easier to move stones down the mountain than up the mountain, so the two walked up along the stream.

Xiao Man once again expressed regret that there were no fish in the stream, and Gu Ke agreed again, but knew that this was impossible.

If there were fish, would Miss Qin have to live on porridge?

Along the way, they encountered stones of various sizes and shapes.

From time to time, Gu Ke carved a circle on a stone to indicate that he liked it, but he didn't mean to move it.

Until they walked four or five hundred meters up, they also reached a position near the top of the mountain from the mountainside.

Gu Ke finally found a large bluestone close to the column next to a huge broken rock, which was very suitable for a bathtub.

After carving a circular mark on it again, Gu Ke called Xiaoman to go back.

Xiaoman was surprised: "Aren't you going to move it back?"

Gu Ke reminded: "Miss Qin will come to get food tomorrow, and I plan to learn martial arts from her personal maid."

Xiaoman was at a loss: "What does this have to do with our bathtub?"

Gu Ke laughed: "Miss Qin said that they are all beginners in martial arts, and can lift 100 to 200 kilograms of things and walk briskly."

Xiaoman understood a little: "Do you want them to help move this large bluestone?"

Gu Ke shook his head: "No, I want them to help move the stone I marked."

Xiaoman's mouth opened wide: "You... I think you chose 20 or 30 stones just now?"

Gu Ke: "Three Twelve yuan, enough to hold a concert. "

Xiao Man couldn't understand the number, and didn't know what a concert was, so she just asked the simplest question: "You let them work for nothing, what if they don't like it?"

Gu Ke smiled: "So, Sister Bai will go there early tomorrow morning, invite Miss Qin and her personal maids to taste the fresh purple wheat, and give them a big pot of sweet soup."

At this point, he looked at Xiao Man: "If you were hungry for a month, and you were asked to help move some stones after you were full, would you be willing?"

Xiao Man nodded subconsciously: "Of course I am willing."

She would rather die of exhaustion than starve to death, that feeling was too uncomfortable.

Gu Ke also nodded: "I am willing, so I will try it, and I will never force it."

Besides, eating too many purple wheat dumplings will make you feel full, and your mind is still very clear, so it's not bad to move to digest the food.

The two of them talked and laughed, walking around the boulder and going down, and a small bunch of leaves flashed in Gu Ke's peripheral vision.

He didn't care at first, but after walking more than ten meters, he felt vaguely that the leaf looked familiar, but he couldn't remember what it was.

He slowed down and stopped, and suddenly turned around and walked back to the other side of the boulder he had just passed.

Xiaoman took a few steps and suddenly heard footsteps going away. He turned his head and looked: "What's wrong, Gu Ke?"

Gu Ke: "I saw a familiar grass."

We walk on the mountain every day, what grass is not familiar? Xiaoman was puzzled and hurriedly turned back to follow.

Gu Ke had returned to the previous position and looked in the general direction. After a while, he saw the familiar leaves and suddenly realized: It turned out to be bamboo leaves.

There are bamboos in the mountains of Xiaoman's hometown, which are not uncommon.

But this Yulong Peak has been around a lot of places, and I really didn't find bamboo.

He didn't hold any hope in his heart, and he didn't react when he saw it suddenly.

Gu Ke bowed slightly and looked at the small cluster of bamboo. He found that it was very thin, and the bamboo pole was thinner than the little finger.

After looking around again, he confirmed that there was only a thin soil here, and the bamboo lived on this thin soil. There were rocks all around, and there was no chance for it to spread its bamboo whips.

Gu Ke suddenly felt a little dazed, as if he saw a clump of bamboo taking root here.

The wind and rain made the soil thinner and thinner, and the place where bamboo could grow became smaller and smaller.

One day, the boulder fell from above and hit the thin soil, pressing the bamboo underneath.

But it did not die, and it stubbornly drilled out of the gap left by the boulder, breathing rain and dew with this small cluster of bamboo leaves, and continued to grow.

What is the meaning of life? Existence may be its meaning. Gu Ke thought of this sentence and smiled.

At this moment, he finally let go of all the things in his previous life, and did not think about what kind of future the time traveler should have.

He just came to this world inadvertently, and the rest was to live well, and time would give him an answer sooner or later.

On the way down the mountain, Xiaoman looked at Gu Ke with a smile on his face, holding a bamboo in his hand, and felt that he was a little strange from the beginning.

But she couldn't tell what was strange.

Then Gu Ke came back and marked out two centimeters of land in the No. 1 fairy field, planted the thin bamboo that was so thin that it would disappear in the wind, and touched it and whispered: "May you grow up quickly."

Unfortunately, the voice was too small and vague, and Xiaoman couldn't hear what it was.

But when he returned to the hut, Gu Ke quickly returned to his original state, chatting and laughing with her, and weaving straw mats and backpacks together.

Xiaoman couldn't keep things in her heart, so she quickly put it aside and looked forward to tomorrow.

Gu Ke said he would take her to learn martial arts together.

Thinking about being able to learn several martial arts, while the strongest man in Xiongjia Village, Village Chief Niu, only knew one barbarian bull fist, the little girl couldn't help but feel happy.

So she didn't notice the eye contact and language exchange between Bai Suqing and Gu Ke.

Although it was only a few times, Bai Suqing seemed to understand his change and didn't ask any more questions.

...

The next day, October 26, the sun rose as usual.

It was another rare good weather, which was very beneficial for today's harvest.

Miss Qin came in a red robe.

There were four personal maids with her, two of them were in their early twenties, and the other two were older than Xiaoman, about fifteen or sixteen years old.

The four girls had the same appearance and manners, but they were different in temperament.

Gu Ke waited for the five people and Bai Suqing in front of the bamboo fence, and opened the one-day visitor access rights for the four girls who came for the first time.

From the visit list, he knew the names of the four girls.

The older one was called Meishu, and the other was called Zhuqi.

The younger one was called Lanhua, and the other was called Juqin.

Meishu was calm and peaceful, with a calm temperament.

Zhuqi had a heroic look and capable manners.

Lan Hua has a bookish air and moves slowly.

Juqin has lively eyes and is full of curiosity.

As expected of a young lady, these four maids are a good match of young and old, with complementary personalities, good looks, and are all beginners of martial arts.

It is really difficult for a wealthy family to get four maids of such quality.

However, the four girls all looked a little pale, obviously they didn't eat much these days.
