Farming and reading family

Lianxin was stunned for a moment after listening to the boss's introduction, and then nodded.

Gao E smiled before entering the house.

Lianxin glanced at the bowl in her hand and felt inexplicably happy.

Although Luo Dagang woke up, he was very weak. He was relieved to see Sister Gao coming in.

"How did you get injured?" Gao E looked at Luo Dagang.

"I wanted to go into Zhiwei Tower to find Li Quan, but I fell into the trap inside." Luo Dagang said simply.

Gao E didn't know what to say. She felt that since Luo Qing'er was involved, Luo Dagang had become stubborn. "What did you find after entering Zhiwei Tower?"

"There are ferocious beasts in there." Luo Dagang tried to recall. "I heard that there are some important people who want to eat leopard fetuses."

Gao E frowned. She knew that the food at Zhiweilou was unique. "At least you came back alive. Otherwise, how would I explain this to your sister?"

Luo Dagang hesitated to speak, took a deep breath and thought to himself that he was lucky to have come back alive.

"No one has seen who you are, right?" Gao E suddenly asked.

Luo Dagang shook his head with certainty.

"That's good. You should take good care of your injuries. We will deal with Li Quan's matter in the long run." Gao E felt that dealing with Li Quan was no longer a top priority.

Luo Dagang nodded.

Gao E wanted to ask Lu Hao what was going on, but after waiting for a while, Lu Hao still didn't wake up, so she had to go back first.

Du Weiqing and the others were already waiting at home, and Old Man Yang also came over.

"I've been waiting for you." Du Weiqing said anxiously, "Then let's go."

"Where is my husband?" Gao E didn't see Chen Ke.

"He said he wanted to stay in the school to teach," Du Weiqing explained.

No one told Chen Ke that this was the site for building a college, they just said that there was a place with beautiful mountains and rivers that he should go and see.

"Then I'll prepare." Gao E thought it would be better to bring Lianxin with her so that she could take care of her if anything happened on the way.

The place Du Weiqing was talking about was along the original location of Bawei Village, and the carriage could only go to Bawei Village.

Not many people go into the mountains now, and there are only traces of their group passing by on the road. Fortunately, it is a rocky beach that has been washed out, and it is quite wide.

"Is there water inside?" Gao E saw traces of water washed out over the years on both sides.

"I heard from our ancestors that the water used to be quite high, but after the Yutou Dam was built, there was not much water here anymore. It is said that the fish monster suppressed by the Yutou Dam was originally practicing here, and it entered the Doushui River because it had to move out of the water." Old Man Yang explained.

"A training ground chosen by mountain elves and monsters must be good." Du Weiqing said with a smile.

Gao E felt that Du Weiqing must particularly like that place, otherwise he wouldn't have used even the mountain elves and monsters.

After walking for more than an hour, they came to a pool of water in front of them, but it was covered with thick ice.

Old Man Yang stood there and explained, "In previous years, the ice here wouldn't be this thick. Normally, no one would go to the pond. It's only because of the unusually cold weather this year that the ice has formed this thick."

Gao E looked at Du Weiqing.

"We tried it, the ice is very solid." Du Weiqing said as he walked to the front.

Gao E thought this was too weird. Why did everything seem just right?

Fortunately, the waters were not wide and the ice was really solid, so several people passed through smoothly.

After passing through the ice and a pass, the view in front of us suddenly opened up.

Seeing this scene, Gao E thought that she had guessed right. It was a Peach Blossom Spring, surrounded by mountains, and it was more spacious than she had imagined.

"How is it? I didn't lie to you, did I?" Du Weiqing opened his arms and looked at the scenery in front of him.

It's a perfect place, secluded and peaceful with stunning views.

"Well, you can find such a place to escape." Gao E nodded.

"That's not important. Just tell me if it's beautiful or not. Does it look like the legendary Peach Blossom Spring?" Du Weiqing didn't care about Gao E's teasing at all.

Gao E's mind was full of how much money it would cost to build a college in this place.

"There is another place." Du Weiqing said and left.

Gao E and the others had no choice but to follow behind, passing through the open area in the middle, and around a lower hill, and a waterfall came into view.

Although it is winter, the waterfall has a huge amount of water, which flows into the clear pool below. I don’t know how deep the pool is.

"How is it?" Du Weiqing looked at Gao E as if he was presenting a treasure.

If I said that I was forced by Gao E to build the academy in the beginning, I was fascinated after seeing this place. I felt that if I spent my entire life building an academy in this place, I would die without regrets.

Seeing Du Weiqing so excited, Gao E didn't want to spoil his fun.

When she and Jin Ruyi were discussing it last night, they knew they were buying more than one hill, but they didn't expect it would be more than a dozen hills.

She had to buy the hills passing by the entrance and the hills surrounding it. Otherwise, when the academy was really built, the surrounding hills would have been bought by others, and she would have built a lonely academy.

"Okay." Gao E nodded.

Du Weiqing was waiting for Gao E to say "yes". As long as she nodded, she would take care of the rest.

Hong Sheng looked at Gao E in surprise. He thought that even if Gao E agreed, she would still have to tell him how much it would cost to buy this place.

Before, he thought Gao E was very rich and could directly pay six thousand taels.

After staying in Baotou Village for a while, he was sure that the Gao family did not have much money. Even if the Gao family was originally a small landlord in He County, it was impossible for them to have so much money.

"Then it's settled." Du Weiqing said excitedly.

Gao E nodded and turned to see Lian Xin squatting on the ground, examining carefully.

"What's wrong?" Gao E looked at Lian Xin's serious expression.

"There are no footprints." Lianxin said seriously.

"There aren't many people here, so of course there are no footprints." Du Weiqing spread his hands.

"I'm talking about the footprints of wild animals." Lianxin glanced at Du Weiqing. Ever since Du Weiqing said her name sounded bitter, she didn't like him very much.

Gao E's expression was serious: "What do you mean?"

"There are such good water sources but no animal footprints here, unless this is the territory of some ferocious beast." Lianxin analyzed seriously.

Du Weiqing and Hong Sheng were both scholars, and there was indeed such a record in the book. The expressions of both of them became solemn.

Everyone looked around and finally looked at Old Man Yang.

"I haven't heard of any ferocious beasts hurting anyone in this area." Old Man Yang also knew that ferocious beasts had territories, so they didn't go into the mountains, and if there were really ferocious beasts, they would avoid them.

"We came in twice and didn't find anything." Du Weiqing looked around.

"What if... the so-called beasts are hibernating?" Gao E looked at Qingtan.

Everyone was shocked. This was indeed the hibernation season for some wild animals, and after hibernation, the wild animals would need to eat a lot.

It is not normal that there are no birds or animals in a place where there are no human beings all year round.

But Du Weiqing really couldn't let him give up this place. He felt that this was the place the first time he saw it.

Gao E knew Du Weiqing's attitude when she saw he didn't say anything. "Alright, I know the location. I'll go to the government office tomorrow to see if this forest is owned by someone."
