Mountain People

The two went out from the mayor's side to buy some food before returning to the hospital.

Although Gu Mingde promised Gu Shuixiu to stay and see the doctor, he was not at ease. Twenty-seven taels was an astronomical number for a poor family like them. It was not worth the price even if it was sold. Gu Mingde was worried, thinking about things, and becoming more and more uneasy.

Gu Daniu was happy just now because Gu Mingde had money to treat a disease, and he was silent after hearing Gu Mingde's words. After all, Dong Chenghu gave the money. Although Dong Chenghu was their son-in-law, his brother still wanted Clear accounts, let alone brother-in-law. He can't make any money now. If he wants to pay back the money, when will he pay it back?

The more Gu Daniu thought about it, the more he looked at Gu Mingde lying on the bed, he had some thoughts in his mind, but he couldn't say it at this moment.

The father and son remained silent.

Gu Shuixiu and his wife saw this scene when they entered the room, and they didn't think deeply. Gu Shuixiu put the food on the table and called Gu Daniu to come over to eat, and she went to the bed to feed it Gu Mingde.

Gu Mingde saw that it was both meat and porridge, and his heart throbbed, but he was not good at talking about Gu Shuixiu in front of Dong Chenghu, so he had to sigh and teach respectfully, "Da Ya, you make money It’s not easy either. I’ve spent too much money on seeing a doctor this time. We are all rough people, so we don’t have to eat so well. Now I can save a little bit. In the future, I can move out of the mountains to buy land and build a house, which is better than yours. It's safe to live in the deep mountains!"

Gu Shuixiu paused, then turned to look at Dong Chenghu and Gu Daniu, seeing the deep guilt in Gu Daniu's eyes, only then did he understand Gu Mingde's meaning, not only smiled, "Dad, do you think What! If we want to move out of the mountains, we can do it now! We just don't want to."

Now Gu Mingde and Gu Daniu didn't understand, Gu Daniu couldn't help but said: "Eldest sister, if you can move out, move to Caozi Village, let's be neighbors, and also We can take care of each other, brother-in-law can go hunting, and Caozi Village is safer, why not?"

"Don't worry, listen to me." Gu Shuixiu was a little helpless, and then explained: "The most terrible thing in this world is not the beast, but the human heart. I will not hide from you, the current situation There is turmoil, there are robbers and robbers everywhere, maybe there is chaos outside now, we have the continuous mountains of Qingping Mountain as a shield, maybe it will not affect us.

We don't have to worry about these things when we live in the deep mountains. It is Chenghu's home. He has lived there since he was a child and has long been familiar with the grass and trees in it, so we don't want to leave.

Since the words have been said here, in order not to burden you, I will tell you something, but I hope you don't tell outsiders.

The whole mountain is circled, so that we don't have to worry about the beasts. "

"Buy mountains!" Gu Mingde and Gu Daniu widened their eyes at the same time and looked at Gu Shuixiu and his wife in disbelief. Their knowledge was limited. The one who bought the most land was the head of Caozi Village , the family has ten acres of land, which is the first share of ten miles and eight villages, but now Gu Shuixiu said that he wants to buy mountains, how big is that?

Gu Daniu, as if he did not know Gu Shuixiu and his wife, asked tremblingly, "Brother-in-law, what is the result of your inquiry?"

Dong Chenghu said calmly: "The mountain where we live and the two valleys next to it have a total of 500 acres of land, each acre is 500 wen, and the total cost is 250 taels. We discuss After that, it is best to buy the two valleys together, not only can they be reclaimed into fields, but the cliffs on both sides of the valley can also form a peaceful barrier, so that we can save some effort to surround the mountains, and we only need to block the exit of the valley. It's done."

Gu Daniu has been completely stunned, what kind of concept is two hundred and fifty taels, he can't figure it out!

Gu Mingde's mind went blank, when did his daughter and son-in-law become so rich? Gu Mingde couldn't figure it out. He recalled the first time he saw Dong Chenghu. He was like a beggar, not like a person at all. Gu Mingde's mind was full of messes, but it didn't prevent him from being happy. His daughter and son-in-law could buy it. The mountain enclosure is very capable, and even Panlong Town probably won't be able to find a second person.

Because of Gu Shuixiu's words, Gu Mingde was completely relieved. He happily accepted the filial piety of his daughter and son-in-law, and the big stone in Gu Daniel's heart was also relieved a lot.

"Sister, I want to go outside."

Gu Daniu's voice was very low, but everyone heard it. Before Gu Shuixiu could speak, Gu Mingde was the first to object. He suddenly sat up and said a little excitedly: "What nonsense! Did you hear your elder sister say it's a mess outside? What are you doing out there as a half-eldest child?"

Gu Shuixiu frowned, "Why do you want to go out?"

Gu Daniu saw that Gu Shuixiu was more sensible, and said directly to Gu Shuixiu: "Caozi Village is too poor, every family can make a living after a year of hard work, and there is no surplus to see. If Dad had the money to go to the town to see a doctor, it wouldn't be as serious as it is now, so I want to go outside and make more money."

When Gu Mingde heard it, the rebuttal was like being pinched in his throat, and he couldn't say it, but he was extremely reluctant to take Gu Daniel out to take risks, and his heart was like being tormented on a hot pan.

After Gu Shuixiu appeased Gu Mingde, she then asked Gu Daniel, "You must know that this is a world where the fittest survive, what are you capable of standing on? Martial arts are strong? Or do you have a skill? If you have nothing but enthusiasm, then I advise you to stay in Caozi Village."

Gu Daniu was a little disappointed when he heard this, and Gu Shuixiu felt uncomfortable, but Gu Mingde breathed a sigh of relief.

Dong Chenghu actually supports Gu Daniu to go out and see the world. He has little knowledge, so his vision is relatively narrow. Only through experience can one be rewarded and one can protect a home. This is what Dong Chenghu really thinks in his heart.

Because of Gu Daniel's words, everyone is in a bad mood. Taking advantage of Gu Daniu's time to go out to the toilet, Dong Chenghu said to Gu Shuixiu and Gu Mingde: "Father-in-law, Shuixiu, I know you are worried about the danger of Daniel going outside, but if Daniel can go out and see the world It's good for him, I mean can we think of a way to get him out and keep him safe?"

"This..." Gu Mingde now vaguely regards Dong Chenghu as the backbone. After all, he has contributed money and efforts during this time. In Gu Mingde's mind, Dong Chenghu is the most powerful person he has ever seen. Since Dong Chenghu has spoken Now, he had to think about it.
