I feel so good after dressing up as a peasant girl

Chapter 71 Discovering the Grapevine

As they walked, they found a lot of fallen flowers and plants on the mountain. Gu Wenxuan observed and said to Bai Jingzhou, "It seems that many people entered this mountain yesterday."

Bai Jingzhou nodded, "It's good that we're gone."

If they haven't left, it would be better for them to go into the mountains another day. Otherwise, if they meet each other, there may be some trouble.

Gu Wenxuan also thought so. After all, not everyone is like Peng Xuan'an and Mu Jingzhi. Although they have a good family background, they will not bully ordinary people.

The two walked slowly along the way and had a hearty lunch by the stream before continuing to circle around the back of the first peak of Queshan Mountain.

The back of the first peak of Queshan is connected to the front of the second peak, and there is a narrow waterfall with abundant water between the two mountains.

The amount of water in that waterfall is not large, but the water flows rapidly due to the terrain. In order to prevent themselves from accidentally falling into the water, ordinary people will basically avoid it as far as possible.

Only someone like Gu Wenxuan, who is skilled, courageous and curious, would run over excitedly to find out what's going on after hearing the sound of water.

Bai Jingzhou was worried about her acting alone. Although there didn't seem to be any large or medium-sized beasts in this area, there might be poisonous snakes and insects. As a doctor, Bai Jingzhou felt that it would be better for him to keep close to Gu Wenxuan at all times so that he could lend her a helping hand in time when Gu Wenxuan was in danger.

At times like this, Gu Wenxuan usually couldn't persuade Bai Jingzhou, because if she insisted on not taking Bai Jingzhou with her, Bai Jingzhou would most likely follow her silently.

Instead of that, she might as well keep the person under her own nose, so that Bai Jingzhou's safety factor would be higher.

So she first chose a tree that grew on a less steep terrain, tied one of the straw ropes Bai Jingzhou brought to the sturdy poplar tree, and then tied the other end of the rope around Bai Jingzhou's waist. This way, even if Bai Jingzhou accidentally fell, the rope would ensure that he would not fall directly under the waterfall.

The two of them took the tree as a starting point and explored inside carefully bit by bit.

They first saw the straight and steep cliffs on both sides of the waterfall. The cliffs were almost entirely made of rocks, slippery and without any grass. No wonder almost no one had ever set foot in this area.

Gu Wenxuan held Bai Jingzhou's hand, and the two of them walked carefully to the top of the mountain wall.

Bai Jingzhou endured the dizziness and looked down, while Gu Wenxuan also looked around curiously.

After taking a few glances, she suddenly said, "Hey, why do I feel like there's a valley down here?"

Bai Jingzhou's eyesight was not as good as hers. He said, "I only know that this waterfall will flow out from the gap between the first peak and the second peak, and eventually flow into Queshan Lake outside Liulin Town."

Gu Wenxuan immediately became interested when she heard this, "How about we go down and take a look?"

Bai Jingzhou certainly didn't think that Gu Wenxuan wanted to go down the cliff. He asked Gu Wenxuan, "Do you plan to follow the river to explore the small valley below?"

This is a huge and time-consuming project.

There is no direct access to the foot of the mountain from here. Even if there is a small valley below, they have to leave this place on the mountain wall first, then find a way to the foot of the mountain, and finally go up along the river flow from the foot of the mountain.

Bai Jingzhou didn't understand why Gu Wenxuan had to go through all this, but Gu Wenxuan didn't intend to reveal her thoughts now.

She pulled Bai Jingzhou back and said, "Come on, let's go take a look."

The smile on Bai Jingzhou's face showed both helplessness and doting. He allowed Gu Wenxuan to pull him back to a safe place, and then took the initiative to untie the straw rope tied to the tree.

As the two walked down the mountain, they looked around for valuable medicinal herbs and relatively valuable prey.

It is a pity that Bai Jingzhou did collect quite a lot of medicinal herbs. As they were on the road, many animals such as pheasants, hares, badgers and others jumped out of the grass, but these things obviously could not be called "precious".

Just when Gu Wenxuan was lamenting that she and Bai Jingzhou seemed to have bad luck in the mountain this time, Bai Jingzhou accidentally discovered wild grape vines ahead.

At this time, they were almost at the foot of the first peak. Gu Wenxuan, who had sharp ears, could even hear the sound of the river flowing below.

"It's wild grapes." Bai Jingzhou was extremely surprised. He pointed at the large patch of wild grapes in front of him and said, "Wenxuan, your good luck is back!"

Gu Wenxuan:......

This is another piece of luck beyond her expectations, right? Okay, not only does she not mind it, but she has become accustomed to this kind of luck that is out of place.

Bai Jingzhou wanted to laugh but didn't dare to. He said, "When the wild grapes are ripe in autumn, we can pick them all and make wine."

As far as he knew, as early as the previous dynasty, dignitaries had already begun to pursue the fine grape wines from the Western Regions. However, due to the years of war here, merchants who brought goods here would risk losing both their money and their lives if they were not careful, so no one was willing to come here, so that the wine here became a rare commodity that was even rarer than gold.

Bai Jingzhou did not expect that he and Gu Wenxuan, who had no power or influence, could sell wine for a price more valuable than gold, but it was undeniable that as long as they handled it well, these wild grapes could indeed be a way for them to accumulate original capital and make a fortune.

Gu Wenxuan didn't know as much about this world as Bai Jingzhou did. After hearing what Bai Jingzhou said, Gu Wenxuan half-believed and half-doubted, "Can I make money?"

"Of course." Bai Jingzhou briefly explained to Gu Wenxuan the scarcity of wine in this world and the potential risks if they wanted to make money by selling wine.

Gu Wenxuan was not good at doing business or fighting with others. She said simply, "You do the things that require brainpower, and I will do the things that require physical effort."

Bai Jingzhou couldn't help laughing, "Okay."

Whether they were transporting grapes out for wine making or transporting jars in for wine making, in the end they would need to work as hard as an old ox. He was not afraid that Gu Wenxuan had too much energy and had nowhere to use it, but he was afraid that she did not have enough energy for them to use.

As they talked, the two men went upstream, walking along the river bank towards the narrow gap between the first peak and the second peak.

To Bai Jingzhou's surprise, there was more than just a small river between the first peak and the second peak.

On both sides of the bank of this small river, there are actually two pieces of land of different sizes. Not only are they covered with trees and flowers, but there are also small animals such as hares, pheasants, wild ducks, squirrels, pigeons, magpies, sparrows, skylarks, leopard cats, and brown pheasants moving around nearby.

"Oh, I was right!" Gu Wenxuan pointed at the small semicircular valley divided into two halves by the river, "How about this place? Isn't it a nice place?"
