Chapter 42 Exchange 2 Jars of Honey

"Although it's still early, we still have to go down the mountain." Jia Guizhi took one last look at the forest with both joy and regret. "The harvest is too big. I have to go back to the village and ask your grandma to help find some more people and two ox carts."

Originally they had not planned to leave the mountain today, but plans could not keep up with changes. With the four pigs and one snake that Gu Wenxuan had obtained, they had no choice but to leave the mountain.

Upon hearing this, Gu Wenxuan hurriedly said, "Mom, I want to eat honey, does my grandma have any?"

It was the first time that Jia Guizhi heard Gu Wenxuan say what she wanted to eat. Without thinking, she said, "I'll go back and ask. If they don't have it, I'll go to someone else's house and get some for you."

Gu Wenxuan smiled brightly, "Can you get some for Jingzhou as well?"

"Yes!" Jia Guizhi agreed readily, "I'll pull the cart with you, and you can ask your father to help you carry the backpack."

Gu Wenxuan shook her head and said, "I can carry it myself." The pheasants and rabbits in her father's hands and in the two backpacks in front and behind him weighed nearly 100 kilograms in total. She decided not to add more burden to him.

Bai Jingzhou stretched out his hand, "Give it to me, I'll help you get it."

Although he also got a lot of medicinal herbs, they were obviously not as heavy as pheasants and rabbits. Anyway, all his herbs were placed in the basket behind him, and his two hands were enough to help Gu Wenxuan carry her pheasants and rabbits.

Gu Wenxuan quickly assessed his physical strength before handing Bai Jingzhou two strings of tied pheasants and rabbits.

The four returned with a full load. When they reached the foot of the mountain, Jia Guizhi was about to go back to the village alone to look for someone, but her fifth uncle and her two cousins ​​suddenly came out from the mountain path behind them.

From a distance, her fifth cousin shouted in a loud voice, "Hey, isn't this Guizhi and Yongming? Have you two finished your spring ploughing and are you going to the mountains to hunt again?"

Jia Guizhi turned around when she heard the voice, "Fifth Uncle!"

Her fifth cousin is in his early forties. Whenever his two sons go hunting in the mountains, he will follow them.

Although he said "Liuliu", he was actually more worried about his son who was "easy-mouthed and unreliable", so he always said hard but was soft-hearted, and went along under the banner of "Liuliu" to keep his sons in check.

This time was the same. His two sons made an appointment to go into the mountains together, and he followed without saying a word.

"Sister Guizhi, brother-in-law." His two sons wiped the sweat off their foreheads and greeted Jia Guizhi and Gu Yongming enthusiastically.

Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou both called him "Uncle". The two smiled and said "Hey" while looking at the new son-in-law Bai Jingzhou with curiosity. "Is this our Wenxuan's fiancé?"

Jia Guizhi nodded. "How is the eldest son of Doctor Bai in our village? He's pretty good, right?"

She spoke with the proud tone of a future mother-in-law showing off her future son-in-law, and the father and his two sons burst into laughter.

Her fifth cousin took one look at the large amount of prey that the others had brought with them and said, "Oh, you guys have quite a harvest this time."

Jia Guizhi nodded, "We are lucky. We encountered this big python trying to swallow the wild boar. We took the opportunity to kill it as well, so that it won't sneak into the village and cause trouble to us in the future."

Her fifth cousin nodded repeatedly, "That's true."

A similar incident had happened in their Jiajia Village before. The python that entered the village that time was not as big as the one killed by Gu Wenxuan and his team. It still killed many of their chickens, ducks, geese and two piglets.

Even if the young and strong men in the village had not found in time the hateful python that hid when it was full and came out when hungry to continue to wreak havoc on their village, a two-year-old child in their village would have been swallowed by the python as food.

The extremely dangerous scene at that time scared the villagers who had children at home. Since then, the villagers have been very careful to kill pythons that tend to enter the village.

"By the way, you guys also want to transport the prey out of the mountain and sell it as soon as possible, right?"

Jia Guizhi nodded, "There are too many. It would be a shame not to ship them out while they are fresh."

"Then let's go together." Her fifth cousin waved his hand at his eldest son, "Go to the village and ask them to get a few more ox carts."

"Okay!" His eldest son and his younger brother put the prey they were carrying, lifting and back next to the prey of Gu Wenxuan and others, and then went back to the village to gather manpower and ox carts.

Now Jia Guizhi had no trouble. She invited her fifth cousin and his son to sit down at the foot of the mountain, and then Gu Yongming and his companions began to talk to them.

In addition to some gossip about the neighbors, Jia Guizhi also asked the father and son which family had got honey recently.

"I have it at home." The fifth cousin raised his chin, "Look, it's our second son. He just came back from harvesting a lot of wild honey two days ago, and my family hasn't had time to take it out of the mountains to sell it yet."

Gu Wenxuan's eyes lit up when she heard this. Jia Guizhi couldn't help but feel amused and helpless. She said, "Can you sell some to my family? I want to buy two jars and make honey water for my family."

"What do you mean by selling or not? How can I charge you for it? Do you look down on your fifth uncle?" Her fifth uncle slapped his son with his hand and said, "Send two jars to your aunt tomorrow."

It’s not possible today. Today, the father and son have to go out to sell goods, and the earliest they can return to the village is tomorrow morning.

His second son nodded vigorously, "I understand, Dad."

"Thank you very much, fifth uncle." Jia Guizhi didn't say that she had to pay. After all, the seller was her fifth cousin. If he didn't want to take the money, she could just give him something back to make up for it.

Several people were chatting and waiting at the foot of the mountain. Time seemed to pass faster because of their happy mood. The fifth cousin felt that only a short while had passed when his son arrived with four ox carts and fifteen or sixteen people.

Jia Guizhi's family had a lot of stuff, so many that they filled up two ox carts in no time. The fifth cousin's family also had a lot of stuff, and one of the ox carts was almost full of his prey. The other people who came with them just took the temporary stock from their homes, and the quantity was far from comparable to that of Jia Guizhi and the fifth cousin's family.

Seeing the python and wild boar still connected together, everyone was amazed and said that Jia Guizhi's family was very lucky.

Jia Guizhi smiled and chatted with everyone, then sent Gu Yongming away with the car to sell things.

Seeing this, the fifth uncle changed his mind. He sent his eldest son and second son away, and he followed Jia Guizhi and others back to the village.

Unlike the businessmen who had plenty of money, when these mountain people went out of the mountains, they either stayed in a large bunk bed that cost a dozen copper coins a night, or in a storage room that cost a few copper coins a night.

He is also a person who is waiting for the opportunity. Since he can avoid suffering with others, he would rather not suffer with them.

With his hands behind his back, the fifth cousin walked leisurely towards Jiajia Village.

His two sons, who were suddenly abandoned by him, were stunned for a moment before they realized that their old father was planning to gradually let go of them.

The two were not nervous, after all, it was not the first time for them to go out of the mountains to sell game and mountain products.
