Traveling to ancient times with a sign-in system

Chapter 41 Complaint
There are some things that you cannot recall, because the more you think about them, the angrier you will get.

Just like Gu Lianshan at this moment, he had originally thought of going to the east wing to inquire about Wei's disappearance. No matter what, he still had to do the face-saving work.

But at this moment, Gu Lianshan didn't even want to save face and just pretended that he didn't know!

He scooped the hot water into a bucket and carried the bucket to Gu Tang's house.

Not long after Gu Lianshan left, Gu Mei tiptoed into the kitchen, lifted the lid of the pot, and wanted to get some hot water to wash up in the house.

But who would have thought that there was no hot water left in the pot!
She threw down the pot lid in indignation and went to find Gu Laian with anger.

When she passed by the room where Gu Tang lived, she couldn't help but stick to the door and eavesdrop.

Unfortunately, the person inside spoke too softly and she couldn't hear clearly. She could only stand up in disappointment and prepare to leave.

At this moment, a strong aroma of rice suddenly wafted out from the crack of the door, and the greedy Gu Mei's mouth was instantly full of saliva.

That damn girl Gu Tang was secretly cooking rice porridge in the house?!

Gu Mei's face twisted and her eyes turned red with jealousy!
How could that damned girl be so lucky? She'd been running around in those mountains day in and day out, and she was lucky enough to survive!
That mountain behind the village has claimed the lives of countless herbalists! How could it have spared the life of that damned girl, Gu Tang?

God is still blind!
If I had opened my eyes and taken a look, I would have thought that this dead girl would have died in the mountains, with her body mutilated!
Cursing in her heart, Gu Mei knocked on Gu Laian's door.

After entering the house, she told Gu Laian that Gu Tang was secretly cooking rice porridge in the house.

It would have been fine if she had told Gu Laian, just a few complaints of jealousy, but unexpectedly, Gu Mei actually instigated Gu Laian to complain.

"When I came just now, the main hall was already closed. Tomorrow morning, you should get up early and go to the main hall to talk to grandma about this!"

"Grandma said before that rice porridge is not for ordinary people to eat, especially girls. Only scholars can eat it, because it can nourish the brain!"

"It was all Dad's fault for not being able to get white rice. Otherwise, you could have eaten a bowl every day. How could you have worried about not being able to study and pass the exam?"

Gu Lai'an was a fool, so he believed what Gu Mei said. Finally, he said with a look of resentment, "People often say that if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather. If the woman you married hadn't given me a son, I wouldn't dare look down on me like this!"

"It doesn't matter if Dad doesn't like you. Grandpa and grandma are the ones who make the decisions in this family. As long as they like you, that's all that matters!"

Gu Mei thought she had a clear understanding of the situation at home, and encouraged Gu Laian in a firm tone.

Gu Lai'an nodded with a gloomy face: "You're right! Grandpa and grandma are the ones who call the shots in this family! As long as grandpa and grandma look up to me, who would dare to look down on me?!"

The more the brother and sister talked, the more confident they became, and they began to imagine Gu Tang being punished.

Obviously, the brother and sister had completely forgotten that Feng had suffered several setbacks at the hands of Gu Tang and had been defeated time and time again.

Gu Tang, who was eating porridge in the house, had no idea that someone was planning to sue her, and that the complaint was to Feng.

If she knew, she would definitely laugh twice and then curse: Stupid!
There was a full earthenware pot of porridge. Gu Tang was full after eating a big bowl, and the rest was eaten up by the father and son.

After eating and drinking, Gu Tang washed up with the hot water her father brought, and soon turned off the lights and went to bed.

She still has to get up early tomorrow, first to go into the mountains to sign in and see if she can sign out any living creatures.

The second is to go and see whether Wei is dead or alive.

However, just by looking at the layout of the trap, one can tell that there must be hunters going there frequently.

If Wei is lucky, he might meet a hunter who goes up the mountain to check the traps, and he might be rescued.

But no matter what the result is, she still has to go and take a look, so that she can have an idea in her mind.

...Without Feng's disturbance, Gu Tang slept until dawn.

She glanced at the time on the system panel. It was half past six in the morning.

Well, it’s not late, I got up early.

After getting dressed, getting out of bed and opening the door, she was surprised to find that all the Gu family members, young and old, were up on such a cold day.

Old Master Gu took the lead, bringing Feng, Gu Mei, and Gu Laian, as well as the sisters Gu Qing and Gu Lian from the main house, all to repair the windows in the east wing.

The layout of the Gu family's east wing is the same as that of the west wing, with three side rooms and two ear rooms.

The difference is that the two side rooms in the west wing were built with money borrowed by her father himself, and the debt was also paid by her father himself.

The side rooms in the east wing were built with money paid by the two elders of the Gu family. The reason given was very speechless. They said that having two more side rooms in the west wing would suppress the fortune of the east wing and hinder the father and son of the eldest wife from studying.

So the two elders of the Gu family immediately took out money and built an ear room in the east wing.

There were five windows in total, including three side rooms and two ear rooms. Gu Tang smashed them all last night, leaving not a single one.

After reading it with great interest for a while, Gu Tang felt that the two elders of the Gu family probably didn't have much money left.

Otherwise, given the enjoyment-loving nature of these two old people, they would never repair it themselves and would definitely spend money to hire a craftsman to come to their home to repair it.

By the way, she also told outsiders that her granddaughter was "cruel and cruel" and let people know that she was not a good person.

It would be best to completely ruin her reputation, let outsiders criticize her, and make her feel ashamed to face people in the future, so that she will obey her family's orders.

Gu Tang looked very happy, clicked his tongue twice, and went to the kitchen to find Gu Ping'an while humming a little tune.

Every morning, Gu Ping'an would boil hot water in the kitchen and wait for her, and today was no exception.

As soon as I entered the kitchen, I saw Gu Ping'an standing in front of the stove. The pot on the stove was constantly emitting steam, making the whole kitchen warm.

In addition to the stove burning, the stove next to it was also burning, with a medicine jar on it, and the medicine juice inside was bubbling and rolling.

Seeing Gu Tang coming in, Gu Ping'an stood up, opened the lid of the pot, scooped hot water into Gu Tang's special small wooden basin, and skillfully added cold water. Then he carried it to the stool and put it down, allowing Gu Tang to roll up his sleeves and wash his face.

As for whether the water temperature is suitable, there is no need to worry about it at all. Gu Ping'an has mastered this technique very well over the past few days.

He knew exactly how much hot water to add and how much cold water to mix. The ladle in his hand was like a scale, ensuring that the water was at the right temperature.

After washing his face, Gu Tang took a handful of wood ash from the bottom of the stove and put it in his mouth. Then he used his fingers as a toothbrush, rubbing his teeth back and forth.

Finally, rinse your mouth with warm water to wash away the wood ash in your mouth.

After doing all this, Gu Tang did not forget to remind Gu Pingan: "This is a method I saw in Bei'an City. It's very good for teeth. Don't forget to learn from me. And Dad, you watch him do it! He thinks it's troublesome and keeps doing it secretly and refuses to follow."

Gu Ping'an nodded: "I do it every day. Dad tells me to do it when I watch him. If I don't watch him, he won't follow."

Gu Tang sighed, she had no idea what to do.

Gu Lianshan has been living like this for decades, and it will take time for him to change.

take it easy.

After washing up, Gu Tang told Gu Ping'an that they were going up the mountain today. "When dad wakes up later, tell him so that he won't get worried if he can't find me."

"Let's go later. The medicine will be almost ready." Gu Ping'an pointed to the medicine jar on the stove and discussed with Gu Tang whether they could go later.
