Destiny Koi, I'm cheating after rebirth
Chapter 21 Walking along the mountain road to the county town
Judging from his brother's appearance, he should be very familiar with Xizi Mountain. Moreover, the way he caught the pheasant just now was very swift and skillful. I guess he does this kind of thing often.
Then, the question arises. There is wild game in the mountains, and he can catch and roast it, so why is he still so thin and skinny? It is obvious at a glance that he is severely malnourished.
During this period of recuperation at home, I gained some weight and seemed to have grown taller.
Gu Qingzhi couldn't figure it out, so she decided to wait and see until she got more familiar with her brother.
In this life, she must make sure he is well.
"Qingqing, here you go." Gu Yan handed over the crucian carp that was roasted golden on both sides. "The chicken will have to wait a while."
Gu Qingzhi took the fragrant grilled fish. The fish skin was grilled to a crisp, but the fish meat inside was tender and delicious.
For her, this was the first time in her life that she had tasted such delicious food.
She gave a thumbs up and said, "Brother, I didn't expect you to be so good at grilling fish!"
Gu Yan curled his lips and smiled slightly.
This is not difficult. Thinking back to the year when he went studying abroad with his mentor, he indeed learned a lot.
Although he doesn't often do this kind of work, he is glad that his skills are still there.
After a delicious barbecue by the creek, the brother and sister returned to the place where Gu Qingzhi picked grapes at the beginning.
Gu Qingzhi planned to let Gu Yan see a doctor. After all, it was a poisonous snake, and it would be bad if it left any sequelae.
Gu Yan originally wanted to say that he was a good person, but Xiao Jiaojiao insisted. He felt warm in his heart and did not reject this good intention.
The two of them were not interested in this, so they decided to go down the mountain early.
Gu Qingzhi glanced at the bamboo-leaf green snake on the ground and muttered to herself casually, "I heard that the bitter gall of the bamboo-leaf green snake is a very rare medicinal ingredient. The snake's body can also be used to make wine, which can dispel wind and pain, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. It is a treasure all over."
As she spoke, her eyes lit up, "Brother, if we take this Bamboo Leaf Green to the pharmacy, I wonder if they will accept it?"
Gu Yan would not think that his sister was talking nonsense now. The fact that she saved him with a yellow broom made him realize that this girl was very capable. She said she saw it in a book, so was this also said in the book?
What kind of book would record such content? Before he dropped out of school, he had read quite a few books, but he had never come across such knowledge. There was no doubt that such a book should be a medical book.
So where did she see it?
He walked over calmly, picked up the bamboo leaf green snake and threw it into the backpack, "Well, let's send it to the county hospital and try."
"Are you going now?" She wanted him to see a doctor first. There was no rush to sell the snake, but a fresh snake would probably sell for a higher price.
Apparently, Gu Yan had also thought of this, "Well, let's go sell the snake first. I guess the current price will be a bit higher."
After a pause, he saw Gu Qingzhi's worried face and said, "I know there is a shortcut to the county town. It only takes an hour to get there, but the road is not easy to walk on."
If we go back to the village and then to the county town from here, it will probably take half a day.
When she heard there was a shortcut, Gu Qingzhi automatically ignored the fact that the road was difficult to walk on. What are you waiting for? Hurry up.
She was puzzled when she saw Gu Yan slowly putting the wild grapes she had picked that morning into his backpack.
Gu Yan looked at her cute appearance and couldn't help but touch her hair. He explained in a low voice, "Wild grapes should be sold at a good price now while they are fresh. Hairy chestnuts can be stored for a long time, so you can sell them in a few days."
Since I'm going to the county town, I might as well take some with me to see if I can sell them.
He had never gone to the county town to sell it himself, mainly because he didn't have the time.
I have picked some wild grapes before, but the vendors in the next village don’t buy them much, saying that they are difficult to preserve, and they keep the price very low.
He doesn't have that much time to deliver it every day.
Normally, we pick mainly pecans and chestnuts, which are mountain products that are easier to preserve. We accumulate them for a while and then sell them together.
Just now he heard his sister mention that Zhuyeqing grapes can be sold in the county town, maybe someone wants these grapes? It doesn't hurt to take some to try, anyway, he has a lot of strength.
Even if the other party doesn't accept it, it would be fresh to take it back and give it to Qingqing to eat. He saw Qingqing like eating it very much just now.
So that's how it is. Gu Qingzhi was full of admiration.
My brother seems to be familiar with the place, right? "Does my brother often go to the county market?" She asked out of doubt.
But I didn't expect Gu Yan to be silent instantly.
After a long while, he said in a low voice, "Not much." He was obviously not in a very good mood.
Gu Qingzhi...
She recalled with annoyance that her brother used to study in the county academy, but ever since their mother forbade him to go, he rarely even went to the county town.
She was really the one who brought up all the issues! She patted her head in annoyance, wishing she could find a piece of tofu to hit her.
Seeing what his little cousin was thinking, Gu Yan grabbed her hand with amusement, "Stop taking pictures. You'll become stupid if you do. Don't worry, I don't care."
It would be a lie to say that I don't care, Gu Qingzhi thought secretly. It seems that I have to find a good way to make money so that he can return to school as soon as possible.
***
Along the way, she was afraid that she would remind him of his sad memories, so she stopped talking and concentrated on getting on with her journey.
However, when passing by a persimmon forest, Gu Qingzhi couldn't help swallowing her saliva as she looked at the golden ripe persimmons on the trees.
So big, so fragrant, and looks so delicious.
"Want to eat?" Gu Yan's clear and pleasant voice sounded in her ears.
Gu Qingzhi nodded vigorously and thought, This looks delicious.
Gu Yan paused and couldn't help but look at her a few more times. She only looked like she was eleven years old. Why did she pretend to be so mature before?
"Wait." Gu Yan picked up her small backpack and climbed up the largest persimmon tree in a few steps.
Gu Qingzhi was amazed, "Wow, brother is so awesome!"
Gu Yan picked most of the fruits and came down. This should be enough for his sister to eat for a while.
He picked the largest and ripest wild persimmon, peeled it gently to reveal the persimmon flesh inside, and handed it to Gu Qingzhi, "Qingqing, here."
Gu Qingzhi didn't act pretentiously. She took it and took a big bite. Wow, the flesh was sweet, juicy, and melted in the mouth. It was just as delicious as she imagined!
"Yeah, brother, it's delicious, you should have one too!"
After eating the sweet and delicious ripe persimmons, the brother and sister continued on their journey.
After eating and drinking, both of them were full of energy even on the particularly difficult mountain road.
The two of them were silent along the way, concentrating on getting on with their journey.
In order to make it easier for his delicate sister to travel, Gu Yan simply hung Gu Qingzhi's small backpack in front of him.
At the same time, he had to concentrate on protecting his sister, and reach out to help her from time to time on some difficult and steep sections of the road.
The mountain road was indeed difficult to travel on, and they were unfamiliar with the area, so the two of them actually spent much more than an hour.
