There is Room For the Poor Daughter

Peach Blossom Village.

Grandma Gu stood on the Peach Blossom Mountain, quietly watching the people who came to reclaim the wasteland one after another. Seeing that her younger brother came over with a steaming medicine bowl, she took the medicine bowl and drank it with a straight face.

"Sister, this is the candied fruit I bought in the county town. You can put it in your mouth to get rid of the bitter taste." Gu Jian reached out and handed a package of candied fruit to Granny Gu.

Granny Gu shook her head: "After drinking the medicine for so many years, I have long been numb to the bitter taste, so I don't need to eat any candied fruit."

Hearing this, Gu Jian's expression darkened, and he silently took the candied fruit back.

Granny Gu cast her eyes down the mountain again: "It's been a few months since we moved here, and it's only been these two days that I've seen some popularity. By the way, have you heard who bought the land at the foot of the mountain?"

Thinking of the news from the village chief, the corners of Gu Jian's mouth rose a little stiffly.

When Granny Gu saw this, she felt puzzled.

Brother is this laughing?

Do they know the people who bought the land? And also quite liked by his brother?

Gu Jian has always looked at people with a straight face. Since he escaped from the fire and ascended to the sky, he has not smiled again, and has maintained an expression for a long time. The corners of his mouth suddenly rose, making the smile on his face look a little bit. ferocious.

Seeing the distressed look in his sister's eyes, Gu Jian immediately pressed down the corner of his raised mouth, and returned to his usual indifference: "The person who bought the land, my sister, knows that she was the girl who asked for medicine back then."

Hearing this, Granny Gu immediately opened her eyes wide: "Rice Flower?!"

Gu Jian nodded: "The girl's father was promoted to the prefect of Ningmen House, and the whole family followed."

Granny Gu also had a rare smile on her face: "Speaking of which, our relationship with this girl is really not shallow. If we hadn't met her last time, the two of us would have become drowning ghosts."

Said, paused.

"Because she also met Xiao Jiu's son."

Thinking of Xiao Yeyang's appearance, Granny Gu's eyes flashed with a scorching light: ".It makes up for a little regret in my heart."

Gu Jian looked at his sister distressedly and wanted to soothe the pain in her eyes, but he knew that he could do nothing.

The siblings stood silently, falling into a brief silence.

At this moment, at the foot of the mountain, a little girl in a green dress appeared in the sight of the two of them.

Seeing that Qin Xiaoliu had recruited hundreds of young and strong men to reclaim the wasteland so quickly, Daohua's face showed satisfaction.

"Little Sixth Brother, this is the Zhuangzi pattern I drew. I have marked the greenhouse, granary, garden, cattle shed, chicken shed, duck shed, goose shed, and sheep shed that need to be built. Look at the master, if there is no problem with the picture, I will build Zhuangzi according to my picture."

"By the way, in addition to Zhuangzi, we will build some small farmhouses for tenants to live in. We have provided accommodation, so we won't have to worry about finding tenants."

It's true that Shahe County is too poor. She has also learned about it in the past two days. Even the refugees don't want to stay in Shahe County.

Daohua took the house plan of Zhuangzi and explained it carefully to Qin Xiaoliu. After talking for about half an hour, she made sure that he understood her meaning and thoughts before letting him go.

Seeing that Qin Xiaoliu was looking for the person who built the house with the blueprint, Daohua looked up at Peach Blossom Mountain.

However, after only two or three days, the buds of the peach trees on the mountain were more numerous and larger.

"Come on, let's go up and have a look."

Daohua asked Wang Man'er to take the visiting gift prepared earlier, and then walked towards the mountain.

Although Peach Blossom Mountain occupies a large area, it is not particularly high, and it is less than 100 meters from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. However, because there is no road, Daohua and Wang Man'er climbed almost half an hour to reach the top of the mountain.

"How long has it been since people came to this mountain? There isn't even a road." Daohua stood on the top of the mountain, panting as she looked at the thatched courtyard not far away.

Wang Man'er replied: "I heard that the peach trees on this mountain are bitter and sour, and the surrounding villagers don't like to eat them. Except for greedy children who come to pick a few, most adults don't go up the mountain. So, Of course there is no way out."

After gasping for a while, Daohua patted her dress and took Wang Maner towards the only thatched courtyard on the top of the mountain.

"Peach Blossom Temple!"

Seeing that there was a plaque hanging on the door of the thatched courtyard, Daohua immediately smiled.

It's a little weird to blame the monk for his bad temper, but he is very similar to Xiao Yeyang, that is, they all love being poor.

"Grandma Gu?"

Daohua stood outside the courtyard gate, craned his neck to look in, and gave a tentative cry.

Without hearing the answer, Daohua shouted again: "weihe" Thinking that it would be impolite to call a strange monk, Daohua immediately changed her mouth: "Master Wei?"

Still no answer.

Wang Man'er: "Girl, we're afraid we're here by accident. No one is home."

Daohua pointed to the steaming teapot in the courtyard: "There must be someone, the fire in the stove is still burning." As she spoke, her face was puzzled, "Am I mistaken? Isn't it Granny Gu and Master Wei?"

At this moment, a 'cough' sounded from the main room: "The courtyard door is not closed, come in by yourself."

Daohua's eyes lit up, and she gently pushed the courtyard door that was more than one meter high in front of her.

Behind him, Wang Man'er was speechless when she saw her girl acting like a thief.

As soon as the two walked into the courtyard, Gu Jian walked out of the main room with a blank expression.

"Master Wei, I'm Daohua!"

Instinctively, Daohua raised her paws and waved hello to Gu Jian.

Gu Jian's mouth twitched: ". I'm not blind." After speaking, he was silent for a moment, "Come in." Then he turned around and entered the room.

Dao Huaxu wiped the nonexistent sweat from her forehead and muttered, "It's getting scarier."

"Don't come in yet!"

Gu Jian's voice came out again, and Daohua immediately made a clever call, and quickly said: "Come in, come in." Then she ran in with her skirt.

Wang Man'er: "."

"Grandma Gu!"

Looking at Granny Gu who was sitting in the room, Daohua immediately stepped forward with a smile and saluted. After getting up, she said with a smile, "I didn't expect it to be really you!"

Granny Gu smiled and looked at the cheerful little girl in front of her, and asked softly, "How do you know we live here?"

Daohua: "The last time I came to buy land, I saw the strange master on the boat. I said hello to him, but he didn't seem to hear."

Gu Jian glanced at Daohua, looked at Granny Gu and said, "I said, why did I seem to hear someone calling me last time, I thought it was a hallucination at the time."

Daohua asked curiously, "Mother Gu, why did you come here?"

Granny Gu smiled and said softly: "Because this is our hometown, when people get old, they always have to return to their roots. No, I'll come back."

Daohua was taken aback: "Mother Gu, are you from Peach Blossom Village?"

Granny Gu nodded: "A Jian and I were both born here, but we left here after we were born."

After the words fell, Granny Gu began to cough violently.

Seeing this, Gu Jian stood up anxiously, came to Granny Gu in three steps and two steps, and helped her pat her back.

Seeing Granny Gu's heart-rending cough, Daohua stepped forward worriedly: "Is Granny Gu's illness not cured yet?"

Gu Jian pursed his lips tightly and did not speak.

Granny Gu coughed for a while, and got better. She raised her hand and shook it, indicating that Gu Jian didn't need to pat: "My disease has been with me for decades, and it won't get better."

Daohua said worriedly, "It's strange that the master's medical skills can't be cured?"

Granny Gu smiled bitterly: "My cough was caused by being caught in a sea of ​​fire back then, and my lungs were damaged by the thick smoke. It can't be cured by manpower."

Daohua moved her lips and blurted out to ask how they got caught in the sea of ​​flames, but she felt bad, she turned her tongue and said, "Mother Gu, I have pickled Sydney there, and I will come back in a few days. I'll bring you a jar, and then ask the strange master to make you stewed Sydney pears with rock sugar and honey, which can relieve your cough."

Granny Gu smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness. I've also eaten Sydney stewed with rock sugar and honey, but it didn't work, so don't waste anything."

Daohua hurriedly said: "Try it, even if you can't relieve the cough, it's good for you to eat it as dessert."

Feeling the concern in Daohua's eyes, Granny Gu smiled and nodded, not rejecting her kindness.

Daohua said again, "Mother Gu, do you still remember my grandmother?"

Granny Gu nodded: "Of course you remember, your grandmother is a kind person and a blessed person."

Daohua said with a smile: "After I build Zhuangzi, I will bring my grandmother over to stay there, and then the two of you will be able to chat and be company."

Hearing this, Gu Jian's eyes lit up.

When I was in the temple, people would come to chat with my sister from time to time, but since I left the temple, he was the only one by my sister's side.

But he was a taciturn.

Granny Gu immediately smiled: "Okay, I also miss your grandmother. She was a very talkative old man."
