The Farmer Girl Gets Rich

Chapter 18: Uphill

Gu Xiaowan tweeted. In the future, there must be a house with a single gate, a high-walled courtyard, and a house with a big iron lock at the door, so that you can rest assured.

Alas, Gu Xiaowan looked at this dilapidated home from the outside, and then at the worried eyes of Gu Ningping and Gu Xiaowan who were still watching them at the gate of the courtyard, Gu Xiaowan felt numb, sore and painful. He waved vigorously at the two younger brothers and sisters before turning around and walking towards the mountains worriedly.

The village where Gu Xiaowan is located is called Wuxi Village. It is a small village with only forty households. The people in the village are very kind, except for Gu Xiaowan's cousin named Gu Xintao.

The houses in Wuxi Village are just like modern houses in the 1930s and 1940s. Good houses are made of wood and bricks. Living conditions are not very good. They are made of mud. No matter what kind of house it was, Gu Xiaowan didn't like it very much. Such a house was too unsafe.

This village has a small population, and there are some wealthy people who either moved to the town early or stayed far away from the poor.

Because this village was originally built by an ancestor named Wu who fled here, and there was a small stream running through the village. As time passed, everyone in this village was called Wuxi Village.

To the north of Wuxi Village is Jiuling Mountain, thousands of meters above sea level, smoky all year round, and growing primitive forests stretching for hundreds of miles. Thousand-year old trees towering into the clouds, strange mountains and mountains crisscrossing with waterfalls, countless mountain delicacies, dense swamps, and groups of wild animals have created the mysterious legend of Jiuling Mountain.

According to Gu Ning’an, there were a few courageous and skillful people in the village who had gone deep in the mountains to hunt for treasures. Unfortunately, the treasures were not found, but their lives went in. There is no return.

Over time, the deep mountains of Jiuling Mountain are always inaccessible, and the villagers of Wuxi Village only dare to move around in the shallow mountains. Gu Xiaowan estimated that those who went in to hunt for treasure either encountered a snake or a beast, or fell into the swamp.

Gu Xiaowan and two of them walked into the mountain along a path. Maybe there are a lot of people going up the mountain, and there is a way out, and the trees on both sides of the road are almost cut down. This mountain is the mountain of everyone in Wuxi Village, and everything in it belongs to everyone in Wuxi Village.

Whoever finds it belongs to whoever takes care of who is advanced or who is late.

Gu Xiaowan walked along the path and watched. The trees on both sides are not very dense, which may be due to the felling of the villagers. This is the edge of the forest. If anyone builds a house in Wuxi Village, they will be felled nearby.

Gu Xiaowan looked around and found almost all dry grass on the ground. Looking up, there are towering branches, branches and vines entwined with each other on a high place, like a large web formed by a spider, and it looks like a dark green seabed. The sun at eight or nine o'clock in the first month was still very weak, and the stars shone obliquely through the gaps between the branches, sprinkling a layer of colorful swaying light on the ground.

The cold wind is raging in the forest, making a harsh sound. If you are alone, it really feels a bit horrible.

auzw.com The withered leaves that have fallen on the ground were suddenly swept up by the raging cold wind, like a small tornado, spinning around in the forest.

Although Gu Xiaowan's cotton-padded coat looked thick and bloated, because of the long time, the cotton inside also formed a tuft, and the biting cold wind had already penetrated her coat.

A cold wind blew straight into Gu Xiaowan's neck, trembling, stiff, and painful even between the bones. The already red and swollen hands became more stiff from the cold, and he could barely hold the axe.

Gu Ningan next to him was not much better than Gu Xiaowan, and his face turned pale.

Gu Xiaowan looked at the cold and stiff Gu Ning'an next to her, thinking that this would not work, don't find anything to eat, the two of them froze here first.

Gu Xiaowan gritted her teeth and stomped her feet vigorously: "Ning'an, it shouldn't be cold anymore."

Then Gu Ning'an and Gu Xiaowan hopped in place a few times together, and the two of them felt warmer.

Gu Xiaowan at this moment has experience in agricultural work in her previous life, as well as experience in chopping wood and doing housework. Moreover, Gu Xiaowan probably used to come to this forest often, familiar with the road, Gu Xiaowan arrived here, except for a little bit of cold, not the slightest fear, let alone a calm Gu Ningan with him.

Asayama has nothing left. There was nothing to be found. Gu Xiaowan knew very well that once the villagers entered the mountain, they had to pass through the shallow mountains. If there were any good things, they would be dug up by the village name.

Then the two walked forward again, and the more they went inside, the more abundant the tree species inside.

Evergreen coniferous species such as Masson pine, Huangshan pine, Chinese pine, Chinese fir, cedar, cedar, and deciduous species such as metasequoia, pond fir, deciduous tree, larch, larch, red cedar, as well as saponaria, poplar Trees, willows, locust trees, peach trees, apricot trees, chestnut trees, plum trees, plum trees and other deciduous broad-leaved trees, as well as some evergreen broad-leaved trees, camphor, banyan, broad-leaved magnolia, Schima superba, citrus, grapefruit Tree and so on.

Gu Xiaowan walked and watched. There are quite a lot of fruit trees on this mountain. If you come early in the summer, you will probably pick a lot. However, with so many people in the village, it is impossible for me to stay here day and night to pick them. It is estimated that they can only make corners and corners, and cannot hold too much hope. Gu Xiaowan couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. She wanted to say that she could still eat some fruit. It seemed that this plan had fallen through.

Two people can only go forward without stopping. The surrounding trees are getting denser and denser, and the dense towering old trees above the head have covered the sun with only one or two rays of light. The forest is dense and there is no road.

A small stream appeared in front of him. Gu Ning'an took a breath, looked around nervously, and then pulled Gu Xiaowan in a hurry: "Sister, let’s not go inside. After passing this small river ditch, inside It's deep in the mountains, and there are often beasts. Let's go back!"

Gu Xiaowan sighed, the axe in her hand hasn't been opened yet! I also hope to meet a wild pheasant or a wild rabbit, and let my brothers and sisters drive the meat!
