I feel so good after dressing up as a peasant girl

Coincidentally, Bai Jingzhou thought of the same thing, and Gu Wenxuan also thought of it.

After Bai Lizheng told Gu Yongming that no one in the village would sell land in the short term, Gu Wenxuan started to set his sights on the wasteland and mountains around the village.

It is a pity that several elders of the Gu family, like Bai Chong and Ning Cuizhi, would rather spend more money to buy land in other villages than spend very little money to buy wasteland and barren hills in their own village.

Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan were rich, but they couldn't explain to their families where the money came from, so they had no choice but to put off the idea of ​​seizing the wasteland and mountains for the time being.

After this incident, the two men became more deeply aware of the importance of having the right to speak and building trust in front of their family members. After discussing it, they decided to quietly explore the mountains west of their village under the pretext of staying at the master's house in town for a few days.

Before they set out, one of Jia Guizhi's cousins ​​was entrusted by Jia's father to ask Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan if they wanted hunting dogs.

Every household in Jiajia Village keeps a dog. Every hunter who goes into the mountains to look for big fish, in addition to teaming up with reliable tribesmen, will also bring one or more hunting dogs per person.

After hearing Jia Guizhi's words that Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan would probably go into the mountains more often in the future, Jia's father approached two families in the village whose puppies had given birth to puppies, and ordered a total of four hunting dog puppies from them.

The old man thought that if Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou were willing to raise two dogs each, he would leave all four puppies to them. If they were unwilling to raise so many dogs, he would keep two of them at his own home.

The two dogs in his family are already old dogs. It was okay that no one in his family went into the mountains in the past two years, but in the future, Jia Yuelan has learned her skills and is getting older. Given her personality, she will most likely go into the mountains to look for bigger prey. At that time, she will definitely need a dog companion that is more trustworthy and reliable than anyone else. Jia's father wants to prepare for her in advance.

Gu Wenxuan, who received the message, said repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes! We want them all! Uh, can we each take two?"

Her cousin nodded and said, "There are enough puppies," and then kindly reminded, "But shouldn't you ask your family and your fiancé first?"

Gu Wenxuan could make the decision on her own, but she still asked her second brother to tell the Bai family about the matter of Gou Zaizai.

As expected, the Bai family expressed without any hesitation that they also wanted two hound puppies.

As for the Gu family, they were poor in the past and even had to go hungry, so they naturally couldn't bear to spend food to raise a dog. So although Gu Yongming and Jia Guizhi were considered half hunters, they never had a dog of their own.

The situation is different now. Their family has saved nearly 180 taels of silver, so they have the confidence to raise two dogs so that Gu Yongming, Jia Guizhi and Gu Wenxuan will have two good helpers when they go into the mountains in the future.

So, in the end, the result was the same as the decision Gu Wenxuan made at the beginning.

After agreeing with Jia's father on a date to pick up the puppies, Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou turned away from the town and went into the mountains to explore together.

The two men took the steamed buns, corn bread, and steamed cakes they bought from the town, as well as the same clothes they wore when they went into the mountains last time, avoided the crowds, and took a detour to Queshan, which is the closest to Liulin Town.

Queshan is not a single mountain, but several rolling mountains connected to each other. After Gu Wenxuan and his companions crossed the small hill between the town and Queshan, they could no longer find the way up the mountain.

Gu Wenxuan was not affected at all when walking in the mountain without roads. She walked briskly, just like a monkey that had lived in the deep mountains and forests for a long time. Not only did she walk without getting red in the face or out of breath, but she was also able to drag the breathless Bai Jingzhou along.

Bai Jingzhou was dragged by her hand, and his heart and face were filled with three big words - embarrassed.

Gu Wenxuan has always been careless in this regard. She didn't notice Bai Jingzhou's embarrassment at all. Occasionally, when she glanced at his flushed cheeks and ears, she thought that his body temperature had risen due to climbing the mountain in the hot summer.

The two of them, one with ease and the other with difficulty, finally climbed to the junction of the foot and the middle of the mountain of the first peak of Queshan Mountain.

Considering Bai Jingzhou's physical strength, Gu Wenxuan did not drag him to continue climbing.

She pointed to the south and said, "Shall we go over there and take a look?"

Bai Jingzhou nodded and said it would be better to walk sideways. If he walked sideways he wouldn't have to pant like a dog in the hot summer.

The two of them walked horizontally along the junction of the foot of the mountain and the middle of the mountain, heading towards the back of the first peak.

During this period, Bai Jingzhou collected a lot of rare herbs and wild fruits with sweet and sour taste. Gu Wenxuan also hunted two pheasants as one of their lunch rations.

By the way, she also pulled out a few bundles of tender cores of wild vegetables and picked up some dead branches that looked dry and flammable.

While passing by a gurgling stream, Gu Wenxuan gutted and plucked a pheasant, and also washed the tender cores of the wild vegetables she had picked and the sweet and sour wild fruits that Bai Jingzhou had picked.

"Let's have lunch here." Bai Jingzhou really wanted to take a break. Although the sun had not yet risen directly above their heads, he still suggested in a tone full of expectation that they take a short rest beside the stream.

Gu Wenxuan was not tired, but she could eat a lot and got hungry quickly. When she heard the word "lunch", she suddenly couldn't walk.

The two hit it off immediately and started a fire by the stream.

The chicken is roasted directly on the fire without plucked out all the hair, and then the skin is peeled off when it is time to eat.

The fresh and tender wild vegetable cores are washed and eaten raw with chicken later. The steamed buns bought from the town are also slightly toasted over the fire to create a golden and crispy crust.

The two of them worked together, and soon the tempting aroma of food spread out.

Gu Wenxuan's mouth was watering. She took a baked bun and was about to start eating it. However, as soon as she opened her mouth, the gentle breeze brought a faint sound of a human voice.

Gu Wenxuan paused and asked Bai Jingzhou, "Did you hear anyone shouting for help?"

Bai Jingzhou was stunned, "No." He was not as sensitive as Gu Wenxuan, so although he didn't hear anything, he didn't dare to say to Gu Wenxuan, "Maybe you heard it wrong?"

Gu Wenxuan frowned, "Let's not eat yet, let's continue walking forward."

Human life was at stake, so Bai Jingzhou immediately nodded and agreed "OK". He quickly wrapped the two roasted chickens in oil paper, and then stuffed the wooden bowl of clean wild vegetables into the backpack.

While he was busy with these things, Gu Wenxuan was busy putting out the fire and cleaning up the baked buns.

Because she was worried about just burying the ashes and sparks with soil, Gu Wenxuan even poured several basins of water on the ashes and sparks that were already buried in the soil. The small area that was watered became a puddle, which effectively eliminated the possibility of causing a forest fire.

After doing all this, the two of them picked up their belongings and quickly moved in the direction where the breeze was coming from.
