I feel so good after dressing up as a peasant girl

Twenty days passed in a flash. On the fifth day after the Dragon Boat Festival, which was Gu Wenxuan's birthday, Bai Jingzhou gave Gu Wenxuan a pair of ebony hairpins that he had polished himself and had auspicious cloud patterns on the heads.

These two hairpins look very inconspicuous, but Bai Jingzhou spent a lot of effort to make them.

Each hairpin is hollow, and can contain small items such as medicinal powder, poison needles, silver bills, deeds, etc.

Bai Jingzhou smiled and handed the hairpin he had polished himself to Gu Wenxuan, "It's not worth much, just wear it for now."

Gu Wenxuan took it and looked at it carefully, then raised her hand and inserted the hairpin into her bun, "What are you talking about? This is made by you yourself, I like it very much."

Her tone was sincere, and Bai Jingzhou couldn't help but feel happy, and the curve of his mouth couldn't help but widen a little.

Seeing him happy, Gu Wenxuan couldn't help but raise her lips. She really liked this hairpin. She liked that he had taken so much trouble to prepare a birthday gift for her personally, and she also liked his rare ingenuity in making a hollow hairpin.

She gave Bai Jingzhou a basket of cherries, a basket of mulberries, and a backpack of early-ripening peaches, plums, and apricots that Li had prepared in advance.

"The cherries and mulberries were sent by my grandmother. They are not very big, but they are sour and sweet and delicious."

"The peaches and plums were sent by my second aunt. They are small and early-ripening varieties that taste a bit sour."

"The apricots are from the apricot tree in my backyard. They are very sweet when they soften."

"I pick the biggest and best ones. You can take them back and share them with your family."

Bai Jingzhou took the backpack and basket with a smile, "My mother is going to praise your family for being honest again."

Last time he sent Dragon Boat Festival gifts to the Gu family, the Gu family gave him a lot of things in return. After he brought the things back, his mother kept praising the Gu family to his father for being honest.

In his mother's words, among the prospective sons-in-law from all over the village, when they go to their future father-in-law's house to give gifts during festivals, ninety-nine out of a hundred come back empty-handed.

The Yue family is very generous to provide meals for you. Do you want them to give you gifts in return? Then you have to look for a fiancée from a wealthy family.

Families like the Gu family, who are poor but never eat in an ugly or shameless manner, are rare among poor families like theirs.

"Shall we go into the mountains together tomorrow?" Bai Jingzhou, who had fully recovered and finally regained his freedom of movement, invited Gu Wenxuan.

Gu Wenxuan smiled and nodded, then deliberately acted sneaky and announced a big news to him mysteriously, "I plan to challenge my parents tonight."

Bai Jingzhou couldn't help laughing out loud. He said, "Be more cautious and don't scare everyone."

During this period, he often secretly fed Gu Wenxuan. Every time the two of them went out together, he would bring some food for Gu Wenxuan.

Gu Wenxuan ate a lot of the steamed buns and cakes he brought, as well as a lot of fish and shrimp they caught in the river, and wild rabbits, pheasants, eggs and bird eggs they caught on the mountain next to the woods.

As Gu Wenxuan's physical fitness continues to improve, her supernatural powers are also being released bit by bit.

In addition, Gu Wenxuan also planned to show off the new skills she learned from her "master" in front of her family - the Shaolin Liuhe martial arts heritage.

With great strength, skills and rich combat experience, the perfect combination of these three makes it difficult for Gu Wenxuan to lose to Gu Yongming or Jia Guizhi.

Just as he was thinking this, he saw Gu Wenxuan shrugged helplessly, "It's impossible not to be surprised. After all, I must win this time."

If she doesn't win, she can't go into the mountains at will. If she can't go into the mountains at will, she can't make money quickly and save up start-up capital. This is really a waste of time for her.

Bai Jingzhou suppressed his laughter and reminded her, "Then it will be harder for you to win."

Gu Wenxuan nodded, "Okay. Anyway, I just want them to know that I have a master and that he promised to let me go out freely."

She didn't want to go through the same thing as before, where she had to wait until the rest of the family went to the fields every day and then find all kinds of excuses to tell Li that she was going out.

Li misunderstood that she was meeting Bai Jingzhou under the pretext of digging wild vegetables and collecting firewood and going to the town, and her heart was full of tenderness and love, but she didn't know that she had actually been secretly training and hunting, and was as busy as a tireless robot.

All that romance and love never appeared in her mind for even a second.

She didn't dare to go into higher and deeper mountains for the time being. Firstly, she didn't have enough time, and secondly, she was afraid of encountering some unexpected danger. However, there were many traces of her and Bai Jingzhou on the low hill next to the woods.

Every day, the two of them went up the mountain together to avoid the eyes and ears of the villagers, and then took the time to collect herbs and hunt.

The reason why she didn't try to support the family despite earning money was because a small portion of the private money they had secretly saved during this period was used by Bai Jingzhou to buy pens, ink and paper, and the vast majority of the rest was exchanged by him for various materials.

They were poor and could not afford ready-made weapons. In order to help Gu Wenxuan gain more profits from her subsequent black-eating-black operations, Bai Jingzhou decided to make some poison powder and weapons for her himself.

After much difficulty, the materials were purchased one after another, and Bai Jingzhou had already begun the preliminary preparations for making weapons. Gu Wenxuan did not want her conspiracy to rob other gangs to be ruined by her parents' control over her right to go out.

"By the way, this is for you." Bai Jingzhou took out a straw hat from the backpack he carried with him. "I saw that the straw hat you wore last time was broken, so I learned from my father to weave a new one. It's a little ugly, so don't dislike it."

He didn't tell Gu Wenxuan that this straw hat was the most impressive one he had ever made after practicing for five or six nights.

Gu Wenxuan took the straw hat and looked at it carefully, her tone unable to conceal her shock, "Why did you suddenly think of learning this?"

Bai Jingzhou was a little embarrassed. "Take off your shoes wherever you go. Since we are going to survive here for a long time, I must learn all the practical skills that other people have mastered."

Gu Wenxuan gave him a thumbs up and said, "You are really good. You always think ahead and take precautions."

Bai Jingzhou's cheeks, ears and neck were all red from being praised. He said modestly: "It's not as great as you say..."

Gu Wenxuan secretly laughed. She liked seeing Bai Jingzhou lose his usual shrewdness and calmness and reveal this cute expression with a bit of silliness.

Bai Jingzhou didn't know about Gu Wenxuan's bad taste, so he asked Gu Wenxuan, "Do you want to continue practicing today?"

Gu Wenxuan nodded, "The most important thing about martial arts is to practice diligently every day. If I find excuses to be lazy on my birthday, then I will have plenty of days to be lazy on weekdays."

It is not easy to strive for progress, but it is definitely not difficult to find excuses to indulge yourself. After all, throughout the year, there are festivals, birthdays of yourself and your loved ones, too hot summers, cold winters with northerly winds, and bad weather such as rain, snow, and hail... Which one is not a ready-made excuse for laziness?
