Chapter 88 Young Man, Please Stay (4)
"My dear, have we come to the wrong place?"
The wasteland in front of the Wuji Sect's mountain gate has turned into peach and apricot trees. In April, a faint pink color does begin to appear in front of the Wuji Sect's mountain gate.
"My dear, we have lived in this place for more than ten years. How could we have gone wrong?"
Holding back those doubts, Gu Wuji walked into his home, and found that nothing had changed inside.
"Master!"
"Wu Ruoquan, why are you so nervous? What about the others?"
"Master and Madam, you are back. The other disciples are actively practicing."
Seeing Wu Ruoquan's guilty look, Gu Qingzhou saw through it but didn't say anything. He said, "You'd better not lie to me."
There are several more odd jobs in the sect, and all of these things cost money. I wonder if these troublesome guys will start to eat grass roots.
If he had not heard halfway that the eldest disciple and his companions had spent a hundred taels during their training, he would have been a little reluctant to come back. Seeing that they had not starved to death, he felt relieved.
"Master, we dare not lie!"
"I heard that you bought land everywhere to grow watermelons and other things, and spent almost a hundred taels of silver. Now you only leave me a house, and sell all the pots and pans?"
"How is that possible? Master, don't listen to those people's nonsense. We spent money, but we also earned it back. If you don't believe me, go ask Uncle Fang. In the past three years, our Wuji sect has not had any problems with money for food."
"Are you insinuating that your teacher didn't give you enough food?"
"Disciples don't dare."
"Okay, husband, I'm glad the children are okay. Fortunately, they haven't starved to death."
Wu Ruoquan was guarding on one side. Apart from the ten disciples, the Gu couple, and five odd jobs, the rest of the Wuji sect had very few people.
"Ruoquan, go call the other disciples over."
"It's like this, Master. My junior sister and the others went to the market to look at the lanterns today and will not be back until tomorrow."
"Who else is here? Call them all over. It's been many years, and I want to see if you have made any progress."
Gu Wuji was sitting in the hall. The watermelon plate looked nice, and the mulberries in it were long and black. He picked one up and found it tasted good, better than the ones he had had before.
"Ma'am, please take a rest first."
"No need, sir. I want to see the children, too."
After a while, Wu Ruoquan came back with three disciples, which meant that the six people had already gone down the mountain. Gu Wuji could not bear the reality that these people were wasting their time on pleasure and began to preach to them.
"You have grown a lot in the past few years. At least you can earn money to support your family. I am very happy for you."
"Master, we didn't really help much. It was Junior Sister and the others who were busy."
"Junior Sister said that we don't have much money to begin with, and we can't just live off it, so we opened a few pastry shops and fruit stores."
"Well, Xixi has grown up a lot too."
The others kept quiet. The natural wasteland that the master was so proud of was converted into land for livestock and medicinal plants.
I don’t know if he would get angry after seeing this. After all, he has loved drinking in those wastelands and watching them practice martial arts for many years.
"Okay, you all go down."
Gu Wuji opened the side door and was stunned by the scene he saw. He rubbed his eyes in disbelief. Where was his natural landscape wasteland?
But these things all looked delicious. He walked out expressionlessly. In front of him was a four-meter-wide mulberry road, and beyond that were large tracts of vegetable fields.
There were several more paddy fields and fish ponds, and his favorite scenery was gone.
"It's quite beautiful."
After saying this, Gu Wuji walked into a shed. When he saw the Ganoderma lucidum seedlings inside, his eyes lit up. He never thought that the Wuji Sect would become so rich one day.
He walked around more and more excitedly, and a big white goose flew towards him. He was so scared that he kicked it, but he didn't hold back and kicked the goose, killing it.
Wu Ruoquan and the others knew that they were in big trouble. Their four goats should have been well hidden. I thought their master wouldn't kill them all today!
"Whose goose is it? I just killed it by accident."
"Ahem, this belongs to Junior Brother Kong Ling."
"That's good. Just consider it as the boy's filial piety to me. Go and boil some water."
A goose weighs about eight pounds, and six people heated up the oil in a pan. Gu Wuji now thinks it's nice to have some small animals at home.
He had just seen a few sheep, so he could have a snack later without having to run down the mountain to buy meat or go to the back hill to look for meat.
"This melon is good, quite sweet."
"Junior sister said that these seeds were bought from some Persian merchants, and they are called Hami melon."
"This mulberry wine is not bad. There are many peach and apricot trees in front of the mountain gate. Maybe I can use them to make fruit wine in the future."
"As long as you are happy, Master."
Gu Wuji felt that this place was a bit deserted. He ran thousands of miles back home, but the children had all gone out to play.
"I will check your homework tomorrow. If you cheat, you may have a hard time in the next few years."
Gu Yuxi was watching the lively scene on the street. The eldest sister and the second brother were walking away in pairs. She couldn't follow them.
"Master sister, I'm going back first."
"Xixi, you don't want to go shopping anymore?"
"I don't want to go shopping anymore. I want to go over there and buy some candy figures."
"Then go by yourself, and be careful."
Having her own space alone, Gu Yuxi walked towards the bridge. Most of the pedestrians coming and going were wearing masks. After walking for a while, she walked back to the inn.
Just as she lay down to rest, a figure suddenly broke into the room through the window. Gu Yuxi stood up and hit him with the whip, but the other person pulled her gently and she fell into a man's arms.
The other person was wearing a mask and smelled of blood. Gu Yuxi saw black bloodstains on his arms. Was this man poisoned?
"Sorry for disturbing you."
"Let me go, get out!"
The next second, the man rolled on the ground. Gu Yuxi kicked him and picked up the mask. However, the face under the mask stunned her.
The man had deep eyes, a unique look typical of a minority ethnic group, and the clothes he wore were embroidered with strange patterns.
"I really owe you this. I'm not even an adult yet!"
The other person's pulse was not very good, but that did not pose a problem for Gu Yuxi. She lifted the man onto the bed and began to give him acupuncture. Then she injected a burst of internal force into him, and the man vomited several mouthfuls of black blood.
"Well, if you hadn't met me, your life would have ended here."
In the original plot, Li Xiaoming finally detoxified Hehongsan by using poison to fight poison, but it took two years. Gu Yuxi directly saved him more than a year of pain.
Relying on brute force, Gu Yuxi forced all the poison out of the man. Holding a porcelain bottle, she fed the elixir she had worked so hard to develop into the man's mouth.
Fortunately, there is still one left, otherwise Gu Yuxi would be heartbroken. These are all made from top-quality medicinal materials, so it’s a bargain for him.
The wound on the arm was finally healed by Gu Yuxi. The man's upper body was almost naked, but he also had a wound on his back.
