Help! I just woke up and was stabbed by a big kid

Chapter 14 Am I a Noble in Distress?

Gu Yue bent down to pick it up and was stunned.

It was a white jade plaque. It felt cool to the touch, the jade was clear and translucent, and in the center of the plaque was a touch of refreshing tourmaline green.

Even someone like Gu Yue, who had never seen anything good, could tell that this jade plaque was worth a lot of money. There were relief characters on it, with a large character on the front: "Gu", and two rows of small characters on the back that looked like the plaques in the Forbidden City, either in Manchu or Tibetan (Gu Yue couldn't tell which), surrounding the large character in the center: "Ling".

Gu Yue: ...I seem to have discovered some incredible secret.

His heart began to beat rapidly. He took out a locked box from the drawer, locked the jade token in it, and put the key into his chest pocket.

There is no doubt that the Gu family is pure farmers. So where did these books and the jade tablet come from?

Is it related to...the only outsider, Gu Xu?

Why didn’t Brother Gu and his wife tell Gu Xu?

In other words, all the knowledge that Gu Dashi had accepted since childhood was wrong. Their Gu family was not a family of poor peasants for eight generations, but the descendants of some fallen nobles?

They should have lived a peaceful life in this village, but their entire family was accidentally wiped out, so much so that later on when Gu Dashi was beheaded by the male protagonist he had no power to resist at all.

Or maybe, the massacre of the whole family was not simply a murder by bandits, but perhaps it was the former enemies who came to wipe out the whole family.

The only thing Gu Yue could be sure of was that no matter what this jade token was, no matter who in his Gu family was the fallen noble, this jade token and the secret of the life story hidden behind it would never see the light of day.

otherwise……

Otherwise, would Gu Yue still go up and strangle the other person? He was already terrified to deal with a lecher like Huang Lao Shu, and now there are still a lot of hidden dangers, not to mention the hidden enemy of the fallen nobles.

Gu Yue sighed.

It can be seen that the jade token should be a token or something like that. Maybe they can use this token to exchange for some manpower, but Gu Yue can figure it out with his toes. If he rashly takes out the token, the murderer will be killed faster than the unknown hand.

No longer thinking about those useless things, Gu Yue continued to tidy up, sorting the books and putting them on the bookshelf. He wiped the square table clean, placed the four treasures of the study on it, and pushed it under the window. The sunlight was very good, just right for Gu Xu to read.

Just as he was about to start thinking about finding a school, Gu Yue quickly shook his head and stopped. He sprinkled some water on the loose soil, then opened the wooden window for ventilation. Gu Xu could sleep here from now on.

The main hall was not very big, and the tablets of Gu's father, mother, brother and sister-in-law were placed on the large square table in the middle. Without incense, Gu Yue simply put his hands together and bowed, thanking this body for giving birth to him, and promised to take good care of Gu Xu and not let Gu Dashi be beheaded.

Gu Yue turned around and saw Gu Xu standing at the door of the main room looking at him.

Feeling a little relieved, Gu Yue carried the cotton bedding that was placed aside to the yard and hung it on a hemp rope to dry.

"How about you live in the side room of my brother and sister-in-law from now on? I saw some books in the room. I'll give them to you to learn how to read after a while." Gu Yue was hitting the quilt with a broken chair leg while talking to Gu Xu.

"I can read." said Gu Xu.

"Oh! When did it happen?" Gu Yue was confused. Gu Xu was picked up by Gu's brother and sister-in-law. Gu Dashi didn't know the details of his origins, but he felt that the whole family was good to Gu Xu and he was neglected, so he couldn't stand him.

"Before, before I came here." Gu Xu said, moving to another place to avoid the dust on the bedding, "It doesn't matter."

Gu Yue inexplicably felt that he had some connection with the jade token, and asked tentatively: "Your parents..."

"Dead." Gu Xu's face was calm.

Gu Yue was speechless. He didn't dare to say that he felt the same way. After all, he had never seen his parents since he was born, so he couldn't say he was shocked by the separation of life and death. But it wasn't necessarily the case for Gu Xu.

But at some point, they had something in common.

"It's okay. We are a family now." Gu Yue said. He also remembered to remind him of an important thing: "If you have anything to do, just go and do it. You don't need to tell me. At your age, you should run around and have fun."

...What if I am affected by his change and miss the chance encounter with the prince?

Gu Yue really didn't want to farm for the rest of his life. He knew that carrying water for irrigation was only the easiest part. Sowing, plowing, harvesting wheat, winnowing, in this era without any machinery to help, any of these tasks could cost him half his life.

In addition, I also have to find a way to get a side job.

What is the routine of the farming counterattack novel? Hot pot and skewers are the most common. Then the protagonists open restaurants and hotels to promote rural revitalization and finally become the richest man in Beijing.

Gu Yue thought he could try it himself.

But the cost...

"My age? I'm fifteen, which is the right age to work in the fields." Gu Xu looked at him and said, "Dad, don't you know?"

"Ah?" Gu Yue really didn't expect this. He was a little panicked. "I know, but you... you are so thin. You should eat more and rest more before you get well."

Gu Yue felt that his reactions were getting faster and faster.

"Okay, then thank you Dad." Gu Xu smiled, and all the anger from yesterday seemed to have disappeared in an instant.

……

Gu Yue did not forget to put the box containing the jade token into the west room where he lived.

The spring sun was very strong, and the quilt that had been covered for who knows how long became fluffy and warm again. The dampness in the main room was also swept away, and after the two of them cleaned it, they moved in the next day.

After this arrangement, it really showed that the Gu family was a wealthy peasant. The house was spacious with many rooms. The original bedroom was dark and small, and was converted into a warehouse. Gu Yue no longer had to sleep on a wooden bed with the scary male protagonist, and the kang in the main room was spacious, so it wouldn't creak when she turned over.

Gu Yue did not go out during the days of recuperation, and due to Gu Dashi's bad reputation, no one came to see him. Gu Yue cleaned the house and washed all the clothes that could be washed, which finally made the gloomy house have some sunshine and vitality.

During this period, Gu Xu went out several times. Although he told Gu Yue that he went to the village market to exchange things or to weed in the fields, Gu Yue knew that he might have met the prince recently, because before he came, Gu Dashi had already thought about selling Gu Xu for money, so the main plot line would not be far away.

Gu Yue stared at the wound on his arm all day long, hoping to go to Liuli Town as soon as possible.

He hasn't seen the ancient world outside yet.

And market research also needs to be started. If you want to work in the catering industry, you need to find out what popular foods are on the market, what seasonings and vegetables are available at the moment, and how much they cost.

As for Gu Xu’s schooling, enlightenment is enlightenment, but he still needs to be exposed to systematic teaching in this era.

Gu Yue looked at the sky and thought tomorrow would be another good day. He could prepare to go to town.
