Don't panic in a famine, I live in the mountains with my golden finger

After watching the unique and lively event, when everyone was about to leave, Lin Zhian came over with An Zeyu and Dong Qing.

Gu Qinghan recognized An Zeyu who was walking side by side with Lin Zhi at a glance and raised his eyebrows. What was this person doing here?

The group was invited into Fumanlou and a private room was opened. Only Gu Qinghan, Li Junyong, Wu Mingshi, and Lin Zhian and his servant An Zeyu were there.

Several people sat facing each other. When Gu Qinghan heard An Zeyu's request, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "If you want to come to Hsinchu Village, you are welcome anytime."

"Mr. Gu, we are all smart people, so let's not beat around the bush. How about five hundred taels in exchange for a visit to Hsinchu Village?" An Zeyu glanced at Gu Qinghan without beating around the bush.

"Five hundred taels, just to take a look at Hsinchu Village. Tsk tsk, you guys are really too idle." Li Junyong complained.

"One thousand taels."

Gu Qinghan supported his chin, fiddling with a small teacup with his fingertips, with a slight smile on his lips.

"Okay." An Zeyu nodded and did not refuse. He felt that he would not find the wrong person this time. There was a good chance that he would see the legendary Hsinchu Village.

"what?"

I agreed to it.

"Gu Qinghan, are you sure?"

Li Junyong bumped Gu Qinghan's shoulder and asked questioningly.

"Sure, but this isn't the first time you've asked someone to do this. I can't guarantee whether it will work or not. In this way, your one thousand taels will be wasted. I advise you to think about it carefully." Gu Qinghan straightened up, stared at An Zeyu, and took a sip of tea.

"Then I'll trouble you two gentlemen."

An Zeyu was stubborn and wanted to know whether Hsinchu Village actually existed. Without saying a word, he put two silver notes worth five hundred taels in front of Gu Qinghan. Gu Qinghan silently pushed one of the silver notes to Li Junyong and signaled him to accept it with his eyes.

Lin Zhian opened his mouth slightly. He didn't expect Qinghan and Junyong to agree so readily. So he shamelessly spoke up, with an expectant look on his face. This made Wu Mingshi a little excited.

"Since you are all so interested, then come together and pay the money." Li Junyong said with a money-grubbing look on his face, holding the five hundred taels of silver in front of him.

"No way, we are not brothers anymore, you also want my money!" Lin Zhian was shocked!

"Uh... cough cough cough, no no, I just said it casually. I won't accept yours." Li Junyong came back to his senses and spoke too quickly. He almost choked. He quickly put away his money-grubbing eyes and waved his hands hurriedly.

"How about this, let's get going without further ado." Li Junyong held the silver bills tightly in his arms. Although he still had treasures from rewards on him, they were not as good as the money he could get for free just by talking. This feeling was too good.

……

At 3 p.m., a group of people and horses appeared at the entrance of Hsinchu Village. Everyone sitting on the horse looked at this home that they had been away from for a long time, and felt both strange and familiar.

"Father!"

"Mother, Father is back!"

Several children who had been squatting under a big tree at the entrance of the village for many years heard the noise at the entrance and looked over quickly. When they saw the familiar faces, they screamed in surprise.

For a moment, there was chaos and several children ran around excitedly telling each other the news. The village suddenly became lively.

Xu Qing opened the gate and ran out immediately, but he did not see Gu Qinghan in the crowd and suddenly became panicked.

"Qinghan, where is Qinghan? And Junyong, haven't they come back yet?"

"Sister Xu, don't panic. Just as many people from Hsinchu Village as went out have returned, not a single one is missing. Qinghan and Junyong are reminiscing with their classmates and will be back later." Liu Zhushan saw Xu Qing's face turn pale in an instant and explained quickly.

"Yes, those two guys and Juesheng are really great this time. They have all been awarded the title of general. You guys are really going to enjoy a good life."

Other villagers responded one after another.

Xu Yuan knew everything that happened in the village as soon as they stepped into the forest. But at that time they were picking wild hawthorns in the forest. The red fruits looked very pleasing to the eye. Looking at the joy on their faces and their happy appearance in picking the fruits, the surprise would have to wait until they returned to find out.

"Xuyuan, be careful, the branches are very thin." Chen Biyun reminded from below.

"Okay." Xu Yuan broke off a branch and got down from the tree with a bunch of hawthorn berries.

"Tsk." She picked a hawthorn fruit, wiped it on the corner of her clothes, and then threw it into her mouth. The sourness made her face twisted, but she was no longer dazed and felt very refreshed.

Sure enough, hawthorn fruit can only be eaten after being processed.

……

The mountain breeze blew, and the fallen leaves fell to the ground with a rustling sound.

A group of people passed through the forest. Gu Qinghan and Li Junyong walked in front, one after the other, to lead the way. Two horse-drawn carriages followed behind them, one for Dong Qing and An Zeyu, and the other for Lin Zhian and Wu Mingshi. The sound of birds chirping could be heard from the forest from time to time.

The further you go in, the louder the birds chirping becomes.

"The boys are back, back!"

An abrupt voice was heard, followed by the sound of flapping wings. When An Zeyu heard it, he recalled what those people who had entered the forest had reported. It turned out that they were not talking nonsense. There really was a big bird in this forest that could speak human language. It was said that it could peck people to death. They had not been seen reminding them before entering the forest, so they must not have known about it, so he asked Dong Qing to remind them.

The big bird seemed to have aimed at a target and flew directly towards Gu Qinghan.

"careful!"

Lin Zhian and Wu Mingshi shouted anxiously.

Gu Qinghan seemed to have noticed something, but he did not move. Instead, he raised his elbow and snapped his fingers.

"Black!"

"Wow, you have a really unique look."

Li Junyong recognized the big bird resting on Gu Qinghan's elbow. When he saw the messy hair on its black head, which made the bird look very domineering, he was very surprised.

"Black?"

Questions and shock from the four people at the back!

Gu Qinghan raised an eyebrow, grabbed the black claw with his other hand, lifted the whole bird upside down, and pulled the corner of his mouth. He hadn't seen it for many years, and this bird seemed to be more and more like a mountain king. Was it Ayuan who taught him this?

"go back!"

Gu Qinghan rudely threw Wuhei away.

Then, a "ding" sound was heard in his mind, and the words of the wish came to Gu Qinghan's mind.

[Gu Qinghan, don't take them for a ride, take them into the village.]

[Ayuan, are you sure?]

[It’s okay. I have some business deals I want to discuss with the three of them.]

[good. ]

The simple conversation ended quickly.

Gu Qinghan withdrew his hand, feeling the four pairs of eyes from behind, and said only one sentence, "That's the bird I raised. Sometimes it's a little naughty. Sorry for making fun of it."

Dong Qing curled the corner of his mouth, thinking of the miserable appearances of those people before. Is that called being naughty?
