Gu Rin's farming life

Because of the victory in the first battle, Gu Xian and Ah Ce were in a good mood, so they were more comfortable talking, and they talked about Gu Lin and Wen Yan for some reason.

Ah Ce was actually very curious. The two elders of the Gu family didn't seem to mind that the two of them were having an affair, and they were even a little happy to see it happen.

This is inconceivable in Ah Ce's view. After all, although it is legal for two men to form a contract, unless they only like men, or their families are too poor to marry a wife, few people will be happy. Deeded.

Those with a little bit of family background, even if they are good men, will seldom form serious contracts. Instead, they will marry a wife at home and raise a few male pets outside.

The Gu family's family background is not considered thin, but it is a bit unexpected that they agree with Gu Lin and Wen Yan to be together.

Knowing that he was very curious, Gu Xian didn't intend to say more, after all, this is Gu Lin's private matter, and it's not appropriate for him to bring it up like this, so he just smiled and said that the family didn't care, so he didn't say anything more.

With his attitude, Ah Che became even more curious, and also wanted to know what attitude the Gu family would have if they knew how he felt about Gu Xian.

But Gu Xian didn't like to talk about it, so he kept it in his heart first, planning to ask Gu Lin when he found a chance.

Leaving aside this topic, the two chatted all over again, and then went to eat happily.

After eating a meal, Ah Ce hurried back to Tong'an County. Since Gu Xian made a good start here, of course he couldn't fall behind, otherwise he really had to rely on Gu Xian to pull himself out.

He left without hesitation, Gu Xian was a bit reluctant, but it was not easy to keep him, so he put his experience on the rectification of Suiye City.

Previously, Gu Lin was responsible for the repairs of the city wall. Now that he is back, of course it is not easy to beat the shopkeeper, so he went to the scene to give some pointers.

Now that he has come back, Gu Lin let him do it, and concentrate on sorting out some useful squares and blueprints.

Wen Yan still sticks to his old profession and goes to work as his carpenter.

He was not in vain during his time in the capital, his skills had improved a lot, and he had seen a lot of new tricks, so he was naturally eager to try.

There are not many other things in Suiye City, except that there are a lot of good wood, so Wen Yan is naturally like a fish in water.

It's not that there were no carpenters in the city before, but those with good craftsmanship were taken away by the three major families, and those with average craftsmanship couldn't support themselves, so they didn't use it as a career.

Wen Yan fought alone for several days and felt too tired, so he recruited a few apprentices.

He was too young. When he first said that he wanted to recruit apprentices, no one came to apply. In the end, he had no choice but to recruit a few half-grown boys who often wandered on the streets.

According to his original idea, he didn't want to recruit this kind of people, but he couldn't recruit anyone, so he had to settle for the next best thing in the end.

But I didn't expect that these children were quite talented and clever. After Wen Yan took care of them for a few days, he also tasted the joy of being a master, so he taught them very vigorously.

The children actually don’t want to wander the streets, but their families are poor and they don’t have any land. They should go to work. They are young and no one wants them. It is even more impossible to be a beggar. Most people in Suiye City are poor quickly. Dead, how can there be spare money to give to beggars?

So they can only roam the streets, occasionally sneaking around, occasionally collecting protection fees and so on.

It's a pity that they are young and thin, and they only get beaten for stealing and collecting protection fees, so they spend most of their time starving. I heard that someone is recruiting apprentices, so they don't care whether it is light or heavy to deal with at that age , came to the door.

Unexpectedly, although the master is young, he is extremely caring in teaching them. They understand that learning this skill will be the capital of their livelihood in the future, so they are very serious.

What surprised them most was that the master not only taught them crafts, but also provided them with board and lodging, which was a great help to them, so they not only respected Wen Yan for the master, but also expressed their gratitude and loyalty to the savior .

In this way, Wen Yan led his apprentices to take his first step to dominate the woodworking industry.

After Gu Lin sorted out the log chopping method, he handed it over to Gu Xian, and he didn't plan to take care of the rest.

He is now very interested in firing porcelain.

A few days ago, when he and Wen Yan went to the mountain to look for wood, they found a lake hidden in the mountain. The lake was surrounded by clay. He didn't know it was used for firing porcelain, but he thought the clay was too sticky. Well, he thought, isn't it just right now that the city wall is being repaired, this kind of soil with such good viscosity, it must be excellent to dig some to paste the wall.

He dug a lump back and was going to find someone to see if it fits. Who knew that Wen Yan’s little apprentice saw it. He happened to be short of a little soil for pasting the stove, so he took the soil that Gu Lin brought back, but he didn’t expect it to be burned by fire. , the hardness is not bad, Gu Lin thought that this soil might be suitable for making pottery and firing porcelain, so he started to study it with great interest.

Of course, he is not a professional porcelain maker, nor is he a genius, so he failed at the beginning, but he became more and more courageous, so he simply built a wooden house in the mountains and found someone to build a kiln. The meaning of living on the mountain.

Gu Xian didn't quite agree with him living on the mountain at first, but seeing that he persisted, he just forgot and let him make troubles, so Gu Lin started living in the jungle on this and that.

There are many mosquitoes in the mountains, and it didn't take long for Gu Lin to be bitten all over his face, so he tried to find herbs in the mountains.

I don't know if he was lucky or not, but he actually found the bandit's lair.

Suiye City has not been developing well, and many people simply turned into bandits, occupying the top of the hill and running rampant in the countryside.

They have good eyesight, and they only attack ordinary people. They dare not move the members of the three major families, and sometimes even help them. Therefore, the three major families have a tacit understanding with the bandits, and they will not commit any crimes. As far as the river water is concerned, the two sides are living in peace.

Later, the imperial court sent a new county magistrate.

The new county magistrate took action against the three major families and the bandits before he had figured out the situation. to kill.

The bandits and the three major families tasted the benefits of the alliance, so they joined hands and took control of the entire Suiye City, which caused the government to make a display. Even more lawless, the imperial court completely lost control of Suiye City.

It's not that they never sent troops, but the terrain of Suiye City is complicated, and there are people from the Shanda family passing the news, so every time they returned without success, it made the bandits even more arrogant.

It was also an accident that Gu Lin discovered the bandit's lair this time.

These years have been used to smooth sailing, so the bandits have become arrogant, and their lairs have moved from the deep mountains and old forests to the mountains closer to the periphery.

This time, Gu Lin got lost looking for herbs, and ran away to someone else's lair by mistake.

Although he had some kung fu in his hands, he was no match for four hands with two fists, so he was immediately arrested.

The bandits hadn't seen anyone who dared to break into their lair alone for a long time, so they were very surprised, locked Gu Lin up, and prepared to gather everyone to watch.

Having not met an opponent for many years made them a little relaxed, and they didn't even think of killing people to silence them, but instead gave Gu Lin a chance.

After being caught, seeing that the bandits had no intention of killing him immediately, Gu Lin felt relieved and secretly contacted His Majesty Mao using the contact method given by His Majesty Mao. With its help, he not only escaped successfully, He also found out the terrain and defense situation of the bandit's lair, and even led His Majesty Mao to ransack the bandit's warehouse.

Gu Lin has always known about the self-contained space on His Majesty the Cat, but he has never used it, and it just happened to be useful today.

The bandits have been entrenched here for many years, so the warehouse has accumulated a lot of good things. In order not to startle the snake, Gu Lin did not evacuate the warehouse, but emptied the things inside. He didn't move at all near the outside. That's it, his harvest is also very rich.

Before leaving, he did not forget to ask His Majesty the Cat to help erase the bandits' memories about him, and then happily went back to the city.

Seeing him back, Gu Xian was very happy.

He didn't know that Gu Lin was captured by bandits, he thought that Gu Lin had been living in the mountains all the time, and he complained, "Why did it take you so long to come back?"

"I'm going to do something earth-shattering." Gu Lin smiled mysteriously, with a hint of complacency.

"Your experiment was successful?" Gu Xian thought for a while, and could only think of this.

"No and no." Gu Lin shook his fingers, and took out the map from his arms, "Look at this."

After taking it to see what it was, Gu Xian was surprised, "Where did you get it?"

This is me going deep into the tiger's den. . "Gu Lin crackled and clattered and explained the future clearly. Of course, in his description, he single-handedly and bravely went in and out of the bandit's lair three times, and finally drew this map.

After hearing what he said, Gu Xian was not happy at all, and stared at him, "How can you be so reckless? Don't you know where that is? It's a den of thieves, and those are vicious gangsters who will kill people! "

"Do you know that you might be killed?" Gu Xianyue said more and more excitedly, "Have you ever thought about your family, Xiaoyan and Anan?..."

Gu Lin was sprayed so violently by him that he couldn't even raise his head, so he could only lower his head and say, "I know I was wrong..."

"Acknowledge your mistake and find Xiaoyan!" Gu Xian pointed out, "Don't tell me!"

Gu Lin could only look for Wen Yan with her head down in despair.

Wen Yan has been standing outside listening to Gu Lin and Gu Xian's words, his expression is very calm, just looking at Gu Lin like this.

Gu Lin was uncomfortable seeing his calm eyes, scratched his head and said, "Xiaoyan, I..."

"It's okay." Wen Yan's voice couldn't hear any waves, "You die as long as you die, anyway, I will always follow."

Gu Lin was stunned, and for a moment he felt his heart was in a ball. He was a little at a loss, and reached out to touch Wen Yan's face. He felt that his face was cold, so he squeezed Wen Yan's hand again, and found that His hands were colder than his face.

Knowing that Wen Yan's heart is not as calm as the surface, Gu Lin can only hold his hand, "I was wrong, I won't do it next time."

Wen Yan was still very calm, "It's okay."

The more he behaved like this, the more flustered Gu Rin became, just like a child who has done something wrong instinctively seeks out his parents, he looked back at Gu Xian, as if he wanted Gu Xian to give him some advice.

Gu Xian sighed and waved his hands, "You young couple, if you have anything to say, go back to the room and talk about it."

As if Gu Lin had received an imperial edict, she pulled Wen Yan and walked into the house.

He was a little scared now, and felt that he was a little reckless, and he should be more cautious.

It's too late to say this now, it's better to think about how to coax Wen Yan first.
