Destiny Koi, I'm cheating after rebirth

Chapter 17 Resource-Rich Xizi Mountain

The variety and quantity of medicinal herbs here are staggering, but no one knows what they are? Gu Qingzhi feels that her chance has come...

However, it is hard to explain why she suddenly knows so many medicinal herbs, so she has to think of a way. It's a bit of a headache. It's impossible to have a treasure trove and do nothing.

We can only take it step by step.

Gu Qingzhi sighed.

Gu Yan's pleasant voice, like a clear spring, rang in Gu Qingzhi's ears. He looked at this lovely little cousin with a look of doting on her. "Qingqing, what's wrong? Are you tired? If you are tired, let's rest here for a while."

"Ah, no, no, I just think it's beautiful here, ha, ha..." The nervous Gu Qingzhi didn't notice that Gu Yan suddenly called her by her nickname.

Only then did she notice that they had stopped in front of a large patch of wild grape vines. Bunches of plump grapes hung heavily under the vines. They were nearly dark red in color and quite large in size.

"Wow, there are so many wild grapes here."

Gu Qingzhi exclaimed as she happily approached a grape vine and plucked a bunch of grapes from it. She then plucked another grape, wiped it clean, and put it in her mouth to chew. The sweet grape juice flowed down her mouth, and her eyes lit up instantly. She was amazed, "Brother Gu Yan, this wild grape is so sweet. I didn't expect it to be sour at all."

She had the impression that wild grapes were always sour and astringent, but after tasting it today, her previous perception was instantly overturned.

Good things should be shared; sharing happiness is worse than enjoying it alone.

She casually picked another large wild grape, wiped it with a handkerchief, and stuffed it into the mouth of the person next to her, "Brother Gu Yan, try it. Isn't it sweet and delicious?"

Gu Yan was caught off guard when a grape was stuffed into his mouth. His neck turned red. After he swallowed it hastily, the back of his ears turned red.

"Yeah, very sweet."

"Qingqing, just pick the grapes here, be careful not to break the skin."

"By the way, there are tools in the backpack."

"I'm going to pick chestnuts in the front. I'll leave the food box here. If you need anything, just shout loudly. I can't hear you."

After saying that, he stuffed the food box into her hand and ran away in a hurry with the basket on his back.

Gu Qingzhi, who was still holding a bunch of wild grapes in her left hand, was confused and stood there in a daze. Eh? How could Brother Gu Yan run so fast?

She put down the bunch of grapes in confusion, put the food box aside, and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief thoughtfully.

There’s no need to rush about the wild grapes. She didn’t go up the mountain just to pick grapes.

Um, by the way, what did Brother Gu Yan call her just now? Qingqing, huh? Brother Gu Yan actually called her by her nickname? !

Does that mean that my relationship with her has improved further?

At least, you won't hold a grudge against her, right?

She frowned and thought for a while. How should she call him? Brother Gu Yan? Brother Yan? Or...

After thinking for a while, her eyes lit up. Well, in order to get closer, maybe it would be better to shout like this! Maybe he would forget the bad things she had done to him before.

Yes, that’s right, I’ll call him like that next time.

After making up her mind, Gu Qingzhi felt suddenly enlightened. Only then did she have the mind to look around. She was not familiar with the place and did not dare to go far, so she walked around the large patch of wild grape vines, fearing that she would encounter danger or that Gu Yan would not be able to find her.

She found a large area of ​​something that looked familiar, and when she got closer she discovered that it was actually Houttuynia cordata!

This is a good thing. According to medical books, it can clear away heat, detoxify, and promote diuresis and reduce swelling.

However, this thing can only be picked when it is ripe in late autumn.

She remembered that because the leaves had a fishy smell, people in the prosperous Tang Dynasty called it stinking grass. Even pigs wouldn't eat this grass, so no one wanted it. But here, there was a large piece of it!

If she hadn't read the medical book, Gu Qingzhi wouldn't have known that this was a good thing. She was so happy in her heart, haha, she made a profit!

However, now is not the best time to pick the fruits. Gu Qingzhi touched his chin and thought for a while, and decided to wait until the fruits are ripe so that their medicinal properties can be better preserved and they will not be wasted.

After walking around, Gu Qingzhi was very excited. This is indeed a treasure mountain!

It is September now, and most fruits have entered the ripening period. In addition to wild grapes, she also saw wild persimmons, hairy chestnuts, pecans, and even found a small amount of wild blueberries!!!

Gu Qingzhi was very satisfied with the trip.

She remembered that since Xizi Mountain was far away from Shengtangli, few people came here usually. The most important point was that it was rumored that there were man-eating beasts in the Beilin Mountains connected to Xizi Mountain, so generally people did not dare to approach the deep mountains.

Right now, she was only halfway up the mountain, and it would be dangerous to go any higher.

I guess Brother Gu Yan is familiar with this area, so he dared to bring her here. This place is indeed a good place with few people and a lot of things.

Moreover, she also found that the location of the wild grape grove chosen by Gu Yan Ge was relatively hidden, and it was also a very large grove of wild grapes.

If she picked them by herself, with her current fighting power, it would probably take her half a month to finish picking them. However, this made her even more excited. This way, she could go up the mountain to pick them every day...

Well, the peak season for wild grapes is probably only during that period of time. It would be a waste if we can't pick so many and leave them alone. Forget it, let's not think about it for now. Don't be greedy about the gift from nature, just take as much as you can.

Gu Qingzhi rolled up her sleeves and started picking fruits right away. In order to go up the mountain, she even changed into some older cotton clothes so that she wouldn't be afraid of dirtying the dresses made of fine silk and satin by her mother. Those dresses were washable and she would be heartbroken if they got snagged or torn while going up the mountain.

The weather in September was still hot and the heat of autumn had not yet left. Not long after, Gu Qingzhi was covered in sweat.

This was the scene that Gu Yan saw when he came over.

Beads of sweat oozed out of the young lady's face, her cheeks were red, and her rosy face looked even more beautiful and dazzling in the sun.

Gu Yan looked a little dazed. As far as he could remember, Gu Xiaojiaojiao had never done farm work before. So, could the people picking wild grapes there now be little elves in the mountains?

Huh, it’s really hot. Gu Qingzhi, who had been picking grapes in the same posture, let out a breath. She had been picking grapes non-stop just now and didn’t feel anything, but now that she stopped, she realized that her neck and shoulders were a little stiff.

Beads of sweat kept dripping from her face. She stood up straight, turned her neck, and took out a handkerchief from her pocket to wipe the sweat from her face. It was really hard work.

It is still a bit difficult for her current physical condition. It seems that further strengthening physical exercise should be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

Gu Qingzhi was lost in thought and didn't notice the changes around her. Naturally, she didn't notice that Gu Yan had been standing there for a long time, and...
