Traveling to ancient times with a sign-in system

Chapter 120: Rumors Flying

Feng's medicine was no longer hot. Gu Lianshan tested it with the back of his hand and decided to bring it in for my mother to drink.

Seeing that Gu Tang was still staring at the medicine pot on the stove in the corridor, Gu Lianshan asked her to watch the fire: "Dad will go to the east room to feed your grandma the medicine, you watch this stove carefully."

"Oh!" Gu Tang responded happily, sitting on the small stool where her father had just sat, watching over the stove.

Although both Mrs. Feng and Mr. Gu were unconscious, their breathing seemed steady and their complexions did not look too bad, which was much better than what they saw yesterday.

Gu Lianshan took a closer look and felt that the two elders were fine.

After drinking the medicine, he carried the empty bowl out of the house.

The Coptis chinensis still needs time to be stewed, so Gu Lianshan took advantage of this free time to tell Gu Tang that he wanted to go to the village to find someone who was good at carpentry to come to his house and help repair the door that was smashed by Gu Tang.

Gu Tang waved at her father without even looking up, telling him to go ahead and saying that she would pay for the door repair herself.

After leaving Gu's house, Gu Lianshan walked east, and after a while he turned north and turned into a small road.

There are several families scattered at the end of the path, one of which also has the surname Gu and is of the same clan as the Gu family.

The man in this family is called Gu Dazhui. He has some carpentry skills, but he is not very proficient. He can still do some rough work.

Also because he was not proficient in the craft, Gu Dazhu's wages were not high and were acceptable to the villagers.

Unless they are making some good things, most of them come here.

The same thing happened with Gu Lianshan. They had the bed and cabinets in the west wing made by Gu Dazhu. They might not look very nice, but they were strong and durable, and that was enough!

Pushing open the fence door, Gu Lianshan shouted into the house, but unexpectedly, four or five people came out.

Among the five people, except Gu Dazhui, the remaining four are brothers who have dealings with Gu Lianshan, some from the same clan and some from different clans.

"Hey! Why are you guys all gathered at Dazhu's house today? What's the matter?" Gu Lianshan glanced at them curiously, not knowing what was going on.

Several buddies greeted Gu Lianshan with laughter. Gu Dazhu even warmly invited Gu Lianshan to sit inside: "Brother Lianshan, you're here? Come in and sit down! It's freezing outside!"

The remaining four people didn't say why they gathered together. Taking advantage of Gu Dazhu's words, they continued to push Gu Lianshan into the house.

Seeing this, Gu Lianshan had everything he wanted to understand. He had something to say to him.

Okay! Then come inside and sit down!
When I got into the house, warmth instantly enveloped my whole body.

Gu Dazhu is a carpenter after all, and the thing this family has the most of is scraps, so they rarely go into the mountains to chop firewood throughout the year.

Even in winter, the stove was burning day and night, and the house was extremely warm.

Seeing Gu Lianshan sitting down, several people looked at each other, not knowing how to start.

Finally, it was Gu Dazhu who asked first: "Brother Lianshan, is there anything you need to come home today?"

Gu Lianshan nodded and said, "The door to my west wing is broken. I know you have existing door panels, so I came to ask you to come over and repair a new door."

"So that's what happened. We have the door panels. I'll get someone to carry them over..."

"Who are you looking for? Don't we have someone ready right now? Come on! Let's help Brother Lianshan lift the door panels and help fix the door together!"

Four men of similar age to Gu Lianshan, with smiles on their faces, were extremely enthusiastic and insisted on helping Gu Dazhu lift the door. Gu Dazhu naturally had no objection.

If he asked someone to help carry it, he would have to give some benefits. Now that someone has taken the initiative to help, the benefits can be saved.

Gu Lianshan sat still in his armchair and spat at his four buddies: "We all grew up together, naked! Who doesn't know who?! Tell me! What the hell do you want?"

The four of them looked embarrassed. One of them, surnamed Li, smiled and explained, "We found an old peach tree in the mountains yesterday. The trunk is also very straight and tall, which is rare. So today we came to Brother Dazhu's house to ask if he would like to buy it..."

Gu Lianshan glared at them and said, "The large area of ​​forest outside the back mountain was bought by the ancestors of the Gu, Li, and Hu families. They allowed their descendants to go into the mountains to chop wood, dig wild vegetables, collect herbs, and hunt!
But you are absolutely not allowed to cut down the precious trees in the mountains, which belong to all three tribes! Over the years, the silver earned from those precious trees has been supporting the elderly and children in the village. I think you have lost your mind! You even dare to set your sights on the trees? Aren't you afraid of losing your good karma? "

Upon hearing this, the four of them hurriedly waved their hands: "My good brothers! We are not that kind of wicked people! That peach tree is not from our territory. We don't know where it came from. We happened to see it when we were strolling in the mountains, so we came to Dazhu's house to ask if he would take it..."

That's how it is...

Gu Lianshan's expression softened, but he still didn't show them a good look. He asked again, "I'm afraid this isn't the only thing. What else do you want to do?"

Seeing that they couldn't hide it anymore, the brothers just said it out loud.

Regarding the incident at the Gu family, rumors are flying all over the village, saying all sorts of things, and it's hard to tell whether they're true or false.

But today the rumors are getting more and more outrageous, saying that the two elders of the Gu family have passed away, and Gu Lianshan and Gu Lao Da are hiding the news and fighting over the family property.

They originally planned to ask Gu Dazhu whether he wanted to harvest the peach trees, and then go to Gu's house together to take a look.

Unexpectedly, before they could get there, Gu Lianshan also came to Gu Dazhu's house.

Seeing Gu Lianshan, they were filled with worry. They wanted to ask, but they didn't know how. If the rumors were true, it would be bad for them to ask.

After hearing what his brothers said, Gu Lianshan slammed his hand on the table, his face filled with anger as he yelled, "Which bastard spread this rumor? My parents are alive and well! Who said they're dead?! You have no manners, how dare you spread such a rumor!"

not dead? !
The brothers, including Gu Dazhu, all breathed a sigh of relief.

They have a good relationship with Gu Lianshan, so they naturally don't want the rumor to be true.

"I don't know how many mouths have spread this rumor, how can we know who started it? If it's false, we brothers will tell everyone in the village about it and the misunderstanding will be cleared up."

Gu Lianshan also knew this, so he didn't hold on to it. He cursed a few more times before giving up.

"Put out the fire, put out the fire. Didn't you say we need to fix the door? While I'm free, let's go fix it right away. It's freezing cold, and we can't do without a door."

Gu Dazhui said a few words to comfort her and changed the subject.

"Right, right, right! Don't be angry, don't be angry! It's more important to fix the door first..."

The brothers hugged Gu Lianshan again and pulled him out of the house.

They lifted up two door panels, took their belongings, and headed towards Gu's house.

……

Gu Tang was holding a dirty branch and stirring it in the medicine pot. The strong bitter smell spread all over the corridor, and her mouth began to taste bitter.

Gu Tang called out to Gu Ping'an and asked him to bring her a bowl of hot water so that she could drink some to relieve the pain.
