There was a stern expression: "Let people look for opportunities on the road first, is there any way to let that kid place an order before attacking him, otherwise we will wait until Fucheng, this time we must be more careful in finding someone, don't be like last time You bastard, you can't do anything."
"Okay, old lady, the old slave will make arrangements now."
***
In Shuiyun Village, the two elders of the Gu family are counting the time. Their old son is on his way to Fucheng at the moment. Although the old son said in the letter that he will go on the road with the Qi family caravan, let them not worry, but raising a hundred-year-old son will never worry about it. 99, is away from home again, how can I not worry about it.
If there is no separation, they will let the second child take care of the third child at this time, but now they find out that the second child clearly has opinions on his third brother, so they dare not mention this anymore. It happens that the eldest grandson is also at home this day. The old man called the eldest family over and mentioned the matter of opening a tofu shop.
The letter Gu Zhao wrote back said that the price of tofu in Qinghe County has dropped from [-] yuan to [-] yuan, so his own tofu shop can also be opened, and Gu Zhao entrusted the Qi family to take care of it, so apart from not Selling the tofu to Qinghe County, there is no need to worry too much about other things, you can go to the Qi family if you have anything to do.
"Open a tofu shop? Can our family really open a tofu shop?" Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Zhao were all surprised, including Gu Ren. Although they had eaten tofu at home, they knew that it was a precious thing. How could ordinary people eat it so often? rise.
Gu Yi was innocent and carefree, and clapped his hands happily: "Then can I eat tofu every day? Tofu is delicious."
The old lady became happy when she heard it, and rubbed her little grandson in her arms: "I don't miss a bite of tofu now. You are too. Where do you think the tofu you ate at home came from? It's not from your own family. Made it, but one thing must be made clear first, this tofu recipe was brought out by your third brother and uncle, and it was your third brother and uncle's idea that our Gu family opened a tofu shop. You must not forget this point, just The second child is too impatient, so there is no need to participate in this stall, and the second child probably doesn't care about such a small business now."
The old lady still has grievances when talking about the second child's family, so this is not a good thing to say.
Mrs. Zhao was very pleasantly surprised. This means that even though the family is separated, they are still allowed to participate in the business of the tofu workshop?Seeing that Erfang moved to the county, and did not come back during this period, Xiao Zhao felt a little sour and envious. He must have made a lot of money in the county, and his family could only earn hard money in the village.
But the surprise came so quickly, it was the prescription and idea given by Gu Zhao. Thinking of the grievances against Gu Zhao before, Xiao Zhao felt a little guilty.
The same is true for Gu Ren. He is extremely unfair to his uncle who is one year younger than himself, but now that such a happy event has fallen on their big house, he can't help but reflect. He must have misunderstood his uncle before. His health is too poor, there is no other way out except for studying, but he is physically strong, and the conditions of the family can only support one person to study, so why not send him instead of my uncle?This is impossible, and he still cares about so much with his uncle.
Brother Gu took a deep breath and couldn't believe what he heard: "Did the younger brother really take it out? The younger brother also asked me to open a tofu shop together for business?"
The old man glared at the eldest son: "Is this still false? Last time your brother came back and told about it, and did the Qi family in the county know about it? It was the Qi family who also opened a tofu shop. Your brother confessed If there is any trouble in doing business, you can ask the Qi family to help solve it, that is to say, there is a backer behind our tofu shop, so you don't have to worry about someone making trouble."
"It's the Qi family that my younger brother mentioned?" Didn't my younger brother say that he did the young master of the Qi family a favor last time?
"Yes, it's the Qi family. There is no second Qi family. That's all right, stop talking about each of them, and quickly gather them together. After the tofu is made, you have to think about how to sell it, otherwise it will be thrown in your hands. You will only lose money."
"Hey, Dad, I got it!" Brother Gu was very excited, "Then Dad, can I learn how to make tofu from you?"
Mr. Gu said: "Your brother said, as long as it doesn't spread, everyone in the Gu family can learn from it, and so does Yao girl."
The only ones that will be rumored are Xiao Zhao's, and maybe they will miss her mother's family, but Xiao Zhao, like the old lady Da Zhao, values her own family more and will not damage the interests of her two sons, so she can It wasn't too unexpected to learn how to make tofu, but I didn't expect Yao girl to follow suit.
Mrs. Zhao almost cried with joy. For people these days, daughters are going to be married off. If there are any skills that are under the box, they are passed on to men and not to women. They are worried that this skill will be taken away by their daughters and become their husbands. Now the two elders of the Gu family don't think so. Xiao Zhao values her two sons, but she also loves her daughter. Thinking that her daughter has this skill, no matter where she marries in the future, no matter how bad her life is, she still has a skill, which can guarantee her Live it up.
Gu Yao is still a bit at a loss, can she also learn how to make tofu?
The old lady glanced at Mrs. Zhao, and knew that this daughter-in-law was a bit cautious, but she also knew that she was planning for her children, and she was much better than the second daughter-in-law, so she specially reminded: "This is what Zhao'er specially reminded us, saying that we If the family is not prosperous, the rules of passing on males and not females, if you have learned the craft, you will have confidence in your heart no matter what you do in the future. Yao girl, your uncle has always been thinking about you."
Gu Yao's eyes were a little sour, and she nodded repeatedly: "Grandma, I know that my uncle has always taken care of us, and I know that my uncle is doing it for my own good."
Many people in the village regard the girl as a girl who loses money, not to mention other families, but the second room of the Gu family has three daughters in a row. The grandparents didn't say anything, but the second uncle and the second aunt felt that they couldn't straighten their waists. It seems that Di Zhaodi's name and the treatment she received can tell her status in the hearts of her second uncle and aunt.
So when I first found out that my uncle was going to bring their family to open a tofu workshop, Gu Yao was full of joy. After the family has more income, no matter whether the elder brother or the younger brother can live a happy life, as for the craft of making tofu, Gu Yao is not at all. After thinking about it, it is the rule to pass on the male and not the female, and she is doing a good job in embroidery now, so she is not greedy for tofu making skills at all.
But I didn't expect that there would be a surprise on her head. If she could learn it, how could she dislike one more craft? No matter how poor you are, you can make a living by making tofu.
Gu Ren was ashamed, he was too narrow-minded, his brother-in-law was obviously more open-minded than him, without his brother-in-law's initiative to be a grandparent, it was impossible for his sister to have such an opportunity.
Gu Ren decided that when my uncle comes home next time, he must apologize to him, and he will not be awkward with him in the future. Speaking of which, he is still one year older than his uncle, and he often gets jealous of him. It shouldn't be.
Just do what you say, after the discussion, the two elders took the Gu family to get busy, Gu Yao also joined in, Gu Yi didn't have a share, he was sent to school, and was told to study hard with his uncle, in the future A good grade in the exam makes the elders happy.
It just so happened that Gu Daniu's new house was ready, and he didn't plan to move so soon, but now it's just right, the place where he lived was vacated as a tofu shop, Gu Ji Tofu shop was established and opened in this way, all the molds are It was done by Gu Ren, an apprentice carpenter.
The two elders of the Gu family led the big house to be busy all day long, and there was a strange and alluring smell wafting from the old house, which aroused the curiosity of the villagers in Shuiyun Village, who came to inquire what the Gu family was up to.
First, Mrs. Gu learned some tofu from the old man, and Mrs. Zhao opened the door to welcome the guests, and said happily: "I am making tofu at home, that is the white jade tofu in the town. Gu Ji Tofu Shop officially opened today. The white jade tofu made three days ago Tofu buy one get one free, and a piece of tofu is only ten yuan."
"Tofu? Is it really the same as the white jade tofu from the county in the town?" The villagers were shocked when they heard it, and they asked aloud, did they hear correctly?The Gu family can actually make this rare tofu. You must know that although there are restaurants in the town that sell dishes made of tofu, the tofu is bought from the county, so I don't know how to make it.
Xiao Zhao said happily: "Yes, it is exactly the same as the white jade tofu sold in the town and the county, and my tofu craftsmanship is the same as that of the Qijia Tofu Shop in the county, but Guji Tofu only costs ten yuan a piece, and the first three Buy one get one free every day, only for folks in our village, there is no such discount for outsiders.”
The villagers exploded when they heard it. Just at this time, Boss Gu brought out a plate of ready-made tofu. The villagers came to watch and expressed all kinds of exclamations. Doesn’t the tofu shop buy one and get one free? After a villager repeatedly confirmed that the size of the gift would not change, the clever decided to buy it together, so that the family could eat a piece of tofu for only five yuan.
With No.1 taking the lead, many of the onlookers followed suit. They can also try the white jade tofu sought after by the wealthy households in the town and county. I recommended several recipes to them. It doesn't matter if others learn it. Only after learning it will they often come to Gu's house to buy tofu.
So a plate of tofu was sold out in a blink of an eye, and everyone, young and old, squinted their eyes happily when they saw the copper coins falling into the cash box.
The first time I made not much tofu, and the consumption power in the village was limited, so after the tofu was finished, Gu Daniu borrowed a bullock cart to load the remaining tofu and sent it to the town to sell. There is no tofu shop in the town , and Gu Ji tofu is much cheaper than the county, Xiao Zhao is worried and went with the man.
When we arrived in the town, people came to buy it without even asking for it. When we heard the price, we bought it without even paying back the price. Xiao Zhao always said that he had the same craftsmanship as Qijia Tofu Shop in the county, and waited for someone in the restaurant to get the news. When they rushed over to have a look, Gu Daniu and Xiao Zhao had already sold out all the tofu they had brought, and they were happily preparing to go home.
"Wait, is the craftsmanship of your Guji Tofu Shop really the same as the Qijia Tofu Shop in the county?" the shopkeeper who rushed over asked worriedly.
Xiao Zhao is more eloquent than Gu Daniu, and she came forward to introduce: "Of course they are the same. There are two types of tender tofu and firm tofu, but they are sold out today. If customers want them, they have to come back tomorrow."
As soon as he said that there were two kinds of tofu, the shopkeeper knew that it was no different from Qijia Tofu Shop, so he asked again: "Then the relationship between you Gu Ji and Qijia is..."
Xiao Zhao was very shrewd at this time, these words were originally spoken by the Gu family after discussion, lest someone would be jealous and want to take away their business, the ordinary people could not stop them, so they had to get the support of the Qi family early.
Xiao Zhao said with a smile: "The prescriptions of the two families come from the same person, what do you think is the relationship?"
The shopkeeper believed most of it, and the rest was to go to Qijia Tofu Shop in the county to ask. He was indeed envious of this tofu craftsmanship. According to his and the chef's judgment, the cost of this tofu should not be high, and the profits in it are huge. Very, but with the Qi family's relationship, it's not something their restaurant can do.
The shopkeeper said with a smile: "Then you will send us a whole plate of tofu tomorrow. As long as the quality of the tofu is not inferior to that of Qijia Tofu Shop, our restaurant will order tofu from your Tofu Shop in the future."
Xiao Zhao's smile grew wider: "Okay, the quality of tofu is definitely not bad. Which restaurant are you from? It will be delivered to you tomorrow morning."
The shopkeeper reported the name and address of the restaurant, and Xiao Zhao and Gu Daniu drove the ox cart back to the village.
After leaving the town, Mrs. Zhao showed an overjoyed expression: "Boss, we don't make enough tofu today, and we have received so many orders."
Not only this restaurant, but also the wealthy households in the town, after tasting the tofu, they set the amount of tofu they want tomorrow in advance, so there is no need to worry about not being able to sell the tofu after making it, only if there is not enough to sell, think about making tofu In terms of materials and cost, Xiao Zhao is happy to see his teeth but not his eyes.
Gu Daniu was also dizzy with joy. He really didn't expect the business to be so good and earn so much in a day. Although he hadn't counted the money yet, he knew that the number would not be small: "Yes, yes, it's not enough to sell, let's ask Dad Do more tomorrow."
"Head of the family, after saving some money, our family can buy an ox cart by ourselves, otherwise we can't borrow it every day."
"Yes, you have to buy a bullock cart yourself, otherwise people will have opinions. But when we get back to the village, let's not get too complacent, restrain ourselves, restrain ourselves."
"Yes, be more restrained." This is called not revealing wealth, so as to avoid others' envy and jealousy.
When they got home, the old man closed the door with the big house and counted all the copper coins he had received. He was shocked. On this day, the old man didn’t dare to make more, so he made five plates of tofu, each plate was 25 yuan, and they were all sold out. There are a total of more than 1000 copper plates in the box. Even after deducting the cost and manpower, I have earned a tael of silver this day. This is the first day of testing the waters.
"Pinch me quickly to see if I'm dreaming." Xiao Zhao also fainted, suspecting that all this is not real.
Gu Daniu really pinched his daughter-in-law, Xiao Zhao yelled, the pain was not a dream, I really made a tael of silver today.
The old man and the old lady can still maintain their composure, mainly because they have calculated how much they can earn. After all, the cost is too low, and the old son also said that the price of tofu will fall. That is hard money, of course it must be more profitable than farming.
The old lady glared at Xiao Zhao: "Okay, don't be so nonsense, and be mentally prepared first, you won't be able to keep earning so much in the future, and you all know that the cost of tofu is not high, so the price will still be higher in the future." It will fall, don’t be unbearable at that time. And we have agreed first that the money earned here is divided into three parts, your big house gets one share, the two of us old ones get one share, and the remaining one is for Zhao’er Well, before Zhaoer comes back, we will keep it for Zhaoer. After all, Zhaoer brought this prescription back, and he told us to take you to do this business together. But Zhaoer also said, when the price of tofu drops to the lowest , he won’t divide our hard-earned money.”
One tael of silver is divided into three parts, and the big house can get more than 300 copper coins today. In the past, this is the income of doing odd jobs for a month, and you have to do it every day to earn it. How could Little Zhao be dissatisfied? Yes, now she is very grateful to Gu Zhao, and there is no more bad word.
She nodded again and again: "It should be, it should be, I think it's enough to get these."
In this way, she no longer has to worry that her youngest son will not have enough money to go to school, and when she saves more money, it will be enough to catch up for the exam in the future.
This is the first day, and on the second day, the money earned by the Gu family has doubled. Xiao Zhao and Gu Daniu are full of energy, and their spirits are getting better and better, even the two elders are the same. Don't panic if you have money in your pocket. They want to save some more money for their old son, and they don't have to worry about their grandchildren. Whether it's gift money or dowry money, the eldest couple can earn it.
As for the shopkeeper of the restaurant in the town, he rushed to the county to find Qijia Tofu Shop to inquire about the news that day. The owner of the tofu shop is covered, so people can't be bullied, so the shopkeeper of the restaurant and the owner behind him honestly place an order for tofu from Gu Ji tofu shop.
Although the ancient carriages have no shock-absorbing effect, Gu Zhao can't bear to live a more difficult life in the apocalypse. Even if he rummages through the books and sundries in the space in his free time, he is still willing to let him He lived a more comfortable life, but it turned out that he found the springs that he had thrown away, and the ancient tire manufacturing method. Gu Zhao wished he could test it on the spot after seeing it. give up.
Gu Zhao doubted whether the university dormitory he entered was the dormitory of the author of the two novels, otherwise, how could there be these two novels by chance, and the information that the author seems to have collected for writing the novel, could it be the author? Knowing that he wrote himself as cannon fodder to death, so he was secretly given these as compensation?
Gu Zhao laughed at his nonsensical thoughts, but he knew very well that the books and materials in the space were the greatest wealth he held in his hands. Of course, he could only make small fuss now, and he didn't have enough strength to guarantee it. Before, it was the crime of being pregnant.
When resting on the road, Qi Yunfei was very cautious and took good care of Gu Zhao and Song Ze. Even if he went out to relieve himself, he would send someone to follow him, so as not to cause any trouble to the two of them, and it would be too late to regret it.
Song Ze didn't know the inside story, so his favor with Qi Er Shao rose sharply, and privately mentioned a few words to Gu Zhao, saying that Qi Er Shao not only did not have the slightest airs of a young master, but also thoughtful, and he really took Gu Zhao, a friend, to his heart.
Gu Zhao is also very grateful for Qi Yunfei's dedication, and he also recognizes this friend.
Song Ze remembered something again, and asked with concern: "Is there any follow-up to what happened on the day of the county examination last time? Who is so despicable?"
Gu Zhao shrugged: "Not yet, that's why I'm going to Fucheng with the Qi family caravan, so as to avoid any accidents."
Song Ze nodded: "You should be more careful."
With such a lesson, Song Ze is now a little more cautious when going out, not to mention other things, at least he is more cautious when eating and drinking.
Gu Zhao didn't tell Song Ze that on the second day of departure, he found traces of someone following them, but the number was obviously limited, so he didn't dare to get too close to their caravan, lest they be discovered, but he couldn't escape Gu Zhao's eyes And perception, after all, without this keenness honed in the apocalypse, an ordinary person would not be able to live in such a dangerous environment in the apocalypse for several years.
Gu Zhao sneered in his heart. The old lady of the Gao family really didn't give up and insisted on cutting off his upward path. In the world, for the sake of his parents, he can get a certain status by being a scholar, and he can live a comfortable life leisurely after doing some business.
But some people don't want to let him go, that's forcing him to make progress. He wants to see what the real black hand behind the scenes is planning. If he doesn't tear off the real face of the black hand, he is not Gu Zhao. If it is resolved, even his parents will not be able to live a peaceful life.
As for Lao Shizi's life experience, as long as his parents don't drive him away, he will always be Gu Zhao's parents. For two lifetimes, he has only one name, which is Gu Zhao, and it is impossible to change it to his surname. It's a mouthful.
After the sun went down on the third day, the caravan camped on the side of the road for the night. They had enough dry food and didn’t need to worry about eating. They slept at night. Gu Zhao and the others also had a carriage.
Gu Zhao and Song Ze helped to pick up dry firewood together, Qi Yunfei specifically reminded them not to go far, and asked Li Wen to take the two of them to pick up together.
It hasn't rained in the past few days, so I quickly picked up enough dry firewood. Li Wen knew very well that Gu Zhao was being targeted by the old lady of the Gao family. Zhao Que stopped, sniffled, and asked, "Did you smell anything?"
Li Wen sniffed his nose vigilantly and sniffed hard: "What's the smell? Could it be that someone set off a wildfire?"
Gu Zhao laughed: "No, I smell blood, do you really not smell it?"
Song Ze looked around, but his face was still blank.
Li Wen knew that he was too conspiratorial, but he still didn't relax his guard: "Mr. Gu, you and Mr. Song should go back first, and I will bring someone to look for it."
Gu Zhao looked at the other two attendants: "You didn't notice either?" After seeing them shaking their heads, he said, "The smell of blood is very close, Li Wen, don't worry, we don't have to go too far, call if there is anything, Qi Brother and the others can hear it too."
Gu Zhao is too sensitive to the smell of blood. This is because someone was injured and bleeding. Fortunately, the smell of blood in this world will not attract zombies.
Li Wen thinks about what Gu Zhao said is right, they are not too far away from the camp where they are resting, and there is no noise here, if there is any accident, they can definitely hear it from the camp, but they still lead people to walk in front of Gu Zhao , protect the two frail scholars, yes, in the eyes of Li Wen and the caravan people, aren't these two frail scholars who are rushing for the exam?
In the direction Gu Zhao pointed, Gu Zhao found traces of weeds being crushed, and blood stains on some of the weeds. Li Wen, Song Ze, and the others’ expressions changed drastically. The same was true for Gu Zhao. Let’s go. After taking a few steps to push aside the weeds and vines in front of them, they found that the person lying in the pit below was covered in wounds, with a broken arrowhead on his back and a bloody hole in his head.
Li Wen suddenly panicked. This man was obviously being chased and killed, and he even used an arrow. It was obviously not simple. He subconsciously looked at Gu Zhao and Song Ze: "Mr. Gu, Mr. Song, what should we do now?"
Gu Zhao was also very surprised, he didn't expect to encounter such a situation, but he was bold enough to jump down to detect the pulse and breath of the inspector, wanting to see if the person was dead or alive.
As a result, he had just put his hand under the man's nose, and he still felt that the man looked sideways with a straight nose, he should be a handsome young man, and his stature was not too old, when suddenly the man's closed eyes suddenly opened Open, when he was vigilant and wanted to back away, his wrist was also grabbed by this man.
Now it's all right, without him probing, he knows that this person is not dead yet. Gu Zhao didn't care about being surprised, but was attracted by the wolf-like black eyes opened in front of him. Gu Zhao tried to break free, but That hand didn't let go as it stared into his eyes.
Gu Zhao was worried that the force of breaking free would be too strong, causing this person to be injured even more. He accidentally died. Seeing him open his eyes at this moment, he found that he was really young, at most a child in his early ten years old, Rare heart couldn't bear to say: "You let go of me first, tell me who you are before I can save you."
The wounded did not speak, but his eyes were still staring at the person in front of him, as if he wanted to engrave it firmly in the depths of his mind, just like opening his eyes just now, suddenly his head tilted, and Gu Zhao loosened his hands. People passed out again.
"Gu Zhao, what's the situation?"
Gu Zhao didn't know what was going on, maybe this guy's eyes touched a certain nerve in his heart, and he heard Song Ze's shout and replied: "There is still vitality, come down and carry him away, and then wipe away the traces here, we Don’t stay here overnight if you’re on your way all night.”
"Is this person going to be taken away?" Will it be a problem?Li Wen said worriedly.
"Whether we stay or not is the same for us," Song Ze calmed down quickly, "Since we are still angry, we can't just ignore death, Gu Zhao is right, we have to leave this place as soon as possible. "
The two attendants obeyed orders. Since the two young masters said so, they jumped down to move people quickly. Gu Zhao left traces of cleaning up here. Song Ze and Li Wen followed suit. No time for Gu Zhao to know more than them.
Qi Yunfei also didn't expect to encounter such a thing on the road. When he saw the person who was being carried back, he immediately made the same decision. He didn't care about spending the night here and rested.
The wounded were placed on a loaded ox cart, and Gu Zhao followed into the ox cart and said, "I want to bring him back for rescue, and I'll help him deal with his injuries so that he doesn't get hurt by us." Dead in hand."
"Wait a minute, I'll go to the carriage to get some wound medicine." Qi Yunfei of course prepared some basic wound medicine when he was away from home. If the person is brought out, if the identity of this person is not simple, maybe they will be held accountable.
Song Ze wanted to help but couldn't do anything, so Gu Zhao drove him back to the carriage, and he would call out when necessary.
Both Gu Zhao and others have confirmed that this is really just a child in his early ten years old, but he ended up like this, the background is definitely not simple, and there are many entanglements behind it.
Gu Zhao was on the bullock cart, wiping the blood stains on his body with a cloth soaked in water, thinking whether it was a mistake to bring this half-grown boy back, maybe it was the moment when he opened his eyes just now, this half-grown boy The consciousness of wanting to live is too strong, which made Gu Zhao feel the same way. Once in the last days, he also wanted to live desperately, but the situation was beyond his control, so he still died in the last days.
But now there is no need to regret it, everyone has been brought back, could it be said that he can still throw people halfway?After being tracked down by the people behind the half-grown boy, they still can't tell the difference.
Now that we’ve been saved, let’s try our best to revive him. This guy’s body is hot and he’s lost a lot of blood. Gu Zhao hurriedly removed the medicines in the space. Although there weren’t many of them, fortunately, there were both fever-reducing and anti-inflammation medicines. Gu Zhao was the same. Feed this guy with water for one grain.
Qi Yunfei came over with the wound medicine. Gu Zhao was helping the wounded man deal with the bloody hole on his head, and asked Qi Feiyun, "Is there any spirits? Other alcohols are fine without spirits."
Qi Yunfei didn't expect that his younger brother was also good at treating wounds, so he put down the wound medicine and said quickly, "I'll go find it."
It was useless for him to look for it. Li Wen ran to bring a wine jar. Gu Zhao didn't care about it. He poured wine to wash the wound. It can't be compared with alcohol, but it can disinfect poison, and it is better than doing nothing. Well, the situation of waking up suddenly before was really unexpected, and now there was alcohol irritating the wound, and the half-grown child lying there didn't even move.
Qi Yunfei helped to treat the wound, and also studied this guy, surprised: "How old is this guy? Eleven or twelve? His background is definitely not bad, but he has ended up in such a miserable situation at such a young age."
With a sound of "嗞啦", Gu Zhao tore off the inner lining of the half-grown boy, bandaged the wound on his head that had been covered with wound medicine to stop the bleeding, and motioned Qi Yunfei to look at the inner lining: "Look, the inner lining is wearing The fine silk must belong to a rich family, this time we may be involved in the infighting among the rich and powerful."
Qi Yunfei stretched out his hand to touch it, that's right, the Qi family didn't even have such high-quality fabrics, but considering the age of the injured, he couldn't let go of his hands and wait for death, but he said worriedly: "What's wrong with the arrow on his back? What to do? If the arrow is not pulled out, the rescue is useless, right? As you said, Gu Zhao, can we find a doctor for him after we enter the city?"
The body of the arrow was broken, so only the arrow was still in the flesh. Gu Zhao found that the part where the arrow hit was not critical, otherwise he might not be able to wait for them to appear. He wanted to bring them back to save them, but in Before finding out the origin of the half-grown boy, he didn't want Qi Yunfei and the Qi family caravan to be implicated.
Gu Zhao gritted his teeth and said, "Why don't I pull out the arrow for him? Whether he survives depends on his own luck. We'll just do our best."
Qi Yunfei was taken aback, Gu Zhao was not much older than this half-grown boy, it was bold enough not to be frightened out of his wits by such an injury, but he still wanted to draw the arrow himself? "Why don't you come, I'm older than you anyway."
"Second Brother Qi, do you dare to do it? Can you solve it neatly? If not, I'll come. I'm still a little confident." In the last days, even the rotten flesh on your body can be dug up by hand to help others deal with it. That is a piece of cake.
"Really?" Qi Yunfei was startled.
"Just let me try, I need some tools and I need to sanitize them."
"Okay, you report it, and I'll prepare." Qi Yunfei looked at the half-grown boy who was unconscious, and then at the calm Gu Zhao, gritted his teeth and said cruelly, at worst, he would take over when Gu Zhao couldn't do it. That's it, as Gu Zhao said, whether he can survive or not depends on the luck of the half-grown boy himself, otherwise they just happened to pass by, and Gu Zhao smelled blood again, and the half-grown boy hid in that pit, sooner or later It is also a dead word.
Qi Yunfei and Li Wen chatted again, found the knife, and sterilized the knife with fire according to what Gu Zhao said, then he and Li Wen held down the half-grown boy together, Gu Zhao raised the knife, and went down to dig the flesh without the slightest hesitation Taking the arrow, the action was as he said, fast and agile, but when the blood splashed out, Li Wen and Qi Yunfei turned pale and dizzy at the same time, and the half-grown boy's body convulsed, and the two quickly regained their senses and held him down.
Digging up the meat to get the arrowhead, Gu Zhao did it without changing his face, and then applied hemostatic medicine and wound medicine, and then bandaged the wound with a cloth strip. Except for a little movement when pulling out the arrowhead, the half-grown boy just lay there motionless again. Gu Zhao moved, and after the dressing was finished, Qi Yunfei and Li Wenqi fell down on the bullock cart and wiped the sweat from their foreheads with their hands, scaring everyone to death.
Gu Zhao calmly began to clean his hands, washing off the blood from his hands, and said: "Then we will be left to fate, after all, we are not doctors."
Qi Yunfei couldn't help boasting: "This is already very good. Without you, Gu Zhao, his situation will be worse and worse, and he can only wait to die."
"Young master Gu is so powerful." Li Wen also admired him sincerely.
Qi Yunfei also calmed down a lot now, and said, "Gu Zhao, go back to the carriage and rest, I'll arrange someone to watch over here."
Gu Zhao nodded. After cleaning himself up, he got out of the bullock cart and climbed into his and Song Ze's carriage. He really did everything he could. If the situation deteriorated in the middle of the night, there was nothing he could do about it. up.
Although Song Ze was holding the book by the oil lamp, he didn't read much. He was always worried about the situation on the bullock cart. Now when he saw Gu Zhao came back, he asked, "What's the matter?"
Gu Zhao smiled and said, "Second Brother Qi and I helped him deal with his injuries. We did our best. The rest will depend on his own luck."
Song Ze nodded: "That's enough."
It was not possible to sleep well in the traveling carriage, so Gu Zhao and Song Ze took a few naps in the carriage. When the convoy stopped at dawn, they got off the carriage and washed up with everyone for breakfast.
At night, Qi Yunfei had already issued a gag order to the convoy, strictly forbidding anyone to confide a single word to the outside world. Everyone knew that the situation was serious, and besides, they had to rely on Qi's family to make a living, so they consciously kept their mouths shut. One complaint, because Qi Ershao said that when he returns to Qinghe County, he will give everyone processing money.
Qi Yunfei didn't close his eyes much at night. Fortunately, their convoy was not stopped by anyone until dawn, which made him relieved. He asked the convoy to stop, have a good breakfast and rest before continuing on the road. He planned for the best Get to Fucheng before it gets dark today, maybe you can really relax there.
After breakfast, Gu Zhao climbed into the ox cart to see the condition of the injured. There were people guarding the cart. The ox cart was more bumpy than the horse cart, so it was only this guy who hadn't woken up, otherwise the feeling would be even more uncomfortable.
"Did you wake up at night?" Gu Zhao touched his forehead, but luckily it wasn't very hot. This made Gu Zhao feel relieved. In his mind, it should be the effect of anti-inflammatory drugs. Ancient people were not as easy as modern people to take too much western medicine If it develops drug resistance, as long as it doesn't continue to burn, it shouldn't be a big problem.
"No, the second young master confessed to give him some water every once in a while."
Gu Zhao nodded and said, "Go out and wash up and eat something, I'll watch."
The man went out obediently. Gu Zhao sent him away on purpose, and then gave the half-grown boy some anti-inflammatory medicine.
After a while, Song Ze and Qi Yunfei came over together. Song Ze touched his forehead and smiled, obviously knowing that the situation was not bad.
Qi Yunfei took out a jade pendant from under the half-grown boy and said, "This was found by Li Wen when he changed his blood-stained clothes at night. It may be his identity card with the word "霂" on it, but there are no other clues." That's right, I've already had my original clothes burned."
This jade pendant does not need Qi Yunfei to tell, Gu Zhao and Song Ze can tell that it is a high-quality suet white jade, which once again proves that the identity of the jade pendant's owner is not simple. The three of them looked at each other, and Gu Zhao said: "This person had better wake up early Come here, let him take the jade pendant and leave quickly when he wakes up."
He can't cause trouble for second brother Qi.
Song Ze didn't say anything, no matter how ignorant the world was, he knew that what he took over was a hot potato.
Qi Yunfei nodded and said, "That's the only way."
The Qi family looked okay in Qinghe County, but it was nothing outside of Qinghe County. It was beyond their ability to meddle in matters involving the infighting of the powerful.
Before sending him away, Qi Yunfei was still very dedicated, and even made rice soup to be fed to the injured.
By the afternoon,
"Okay, old lady, the old slave will make arrangements now."
***
In Shuiyun Village, the two elders of the Gu family are counting the time. Their old son is on his way to Fucheng at the moment. Although the old son said in the letter that he will go on the road with the Qi family caravan, let them not worry, but raising a hundred-year-old son will never worry about it. 99, is away from home again, how can I not worry about it.
If there is no separation, they will let the second child take care of the third child at this time, but now they find out that the second child clearly has opinions on his third brother, so they dare not mention this anymore. It happens that the eldest grandson is also at home this day. The old man called the eldest family over and mentioned the matter of opening a tofu shop.
The letter Gu Zhao wrote back said that the price of tofu in Qinghe County has dropped from [-] yuan to [-] yuan, so his own tofu shop can also be opened, and Gu Zhao entrusted the Qi family to take care of it, so apart from not Selling the tofu to Qinghe County, there is no need to worry too much about other things, you can go to the Qi family if you have anything to do.
"Open a tofu shop? Can our family really open a tofu shop?" Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Zhao were all surprised, including Gu Ren. Although they had eaten tofu at home, they knew that it was a precious thing. How could ordinary people eat it so often? rise.
Gu Yi was innocent and carefree, and clapped his hands happily: "Then can I eat tofu every day? Tofu is delicious."
The old lady became happy when she heard it, and rubbed her little grandson in her arms: "I don't miss a bite of tofu now. You are too. Where do you think the tofu you ate at home came from? It's not from your own family. Made it, but one thing must be made clear first, this tofu recipe was brought out by your third brother and uncle, and it was your third brother and uncle's idea that our Gu family opened a tofu shop. You must not forget this point, just The second child is too impatient, so there is no need to participate in this stall, and the second child probably doesn't care about such a small business now."
The old lady still has grievances when talking about the second child's family, so this is not a good thing to say.
Mrs. Zhao was very pleasantly surprised. This means that even though the family is separated, they are still allowed to participate in the business of the tofu workshop?Seeing that Erfang moved to the county, and did not come back during this period, Xiao Zhao felt a little sour and envious. He must have made a lot of money in the county, and his family could only earn hard money in the village.
But the surprise came so quickly, it was the prescription and idea given by Gu Zhao. Thinking of the grievances against Gu Zhao before, Xiao Zhao felt a little guilty.
The same is true for Gu Ren. He is extremely unfair to his uncle who is one year younger than himself, but now that such a happy event has fallen on their big house, he can't help but reflect. He must have misunderstood his uncle before. His health is too poor, there is no other way out except for studying, but he is physically strong, and the conditions of the family can only support one person to study, so why not send him instead of my uncle?This is impossible, and he still cares about so much with his uncle.
Brother Gu took a deep breath and couldn't believe what he heard: "Did the younger brother really take it out? The younger brother also asked me to open a tofu shop together for business?"
The old man glared at the eldest son: "Is this still false? Last time your brother came back and told about it, and did the Qi family in the county know about it? It was the Qi family who also opened a tofu shop. Your brother confessed If there is any trouble in doing business, you can ask the Qi family to help solve it, that is to say, there is a backer behind our tofu shop, so you don't have to worry about someone making trouble."
"It's the Qi family that my younger brother mentioned?" Didn't my younger brother say that he did the young master of the Qi family a favor last time?
"Yes, it's the Qi family. There is no second Qi family. That's all right, stop talking about each of them, and quickly gather them together. After the tofu is made, you have to think about how to sell it, otherwise it will be thrown in your hands. You will only lose money."
"Hey, Dad, I got it!" Brother Gu was very excited, "Then Dad, can I learn how to make tofu from you?"
Mr. Gu said: "Your brother said, as long as it doesn't spread, everyone in the Gu family can learn from it, and so does Yao girl."
The only ones that will be rumored are Xiao Zhao's, and maybe they will miss her mother's family, but Xiao Zhao, like the old lady Da Zhao, values her own family more and will not damage the interests of her two sons, so she can It wasn't too unexpected to learn how to make tofu, but I didn't expect Yao girl to follow suit.
Mrs. Zhao almost cried with joy. For people these days, daughters are going to be married off. If there are any skills that are under the box, they are passed on to men and not to women. They are worried that this skill will be taken away by their daughters and become their husbands. Now the two elders of the Gu family don't think so. Xiao Zhao values her two sons, but she also loves her daughter. Thinking that her daughter has this skill, no matter where she marries in the future, no matter how bad her life is, she still has a skill, which can guarantee her Live it up.
Gu Yao is still a bit at a loss, can she also learn how to make tofu?
The old lady glanced at Mrs. Zhao, and knew that this daughter-in-law was a bit cautious, but she also knew that she was planning for her children, and she was much better than the second daughter-in-law, so she specially reminded: "This is what Zhao'er specially reminded us, saying that we If the family is not prosperous, the rules of passing on males and not females, if you have learned the craft, you will have confidence in your heart no matter what you do in the future. Yao girl, your uncle has always been thinking about you."
Gu Yao's eyes were a little sour, and she nodded repeatedly: "Grandma, I know that my uncle has always taken care of us, and I know that my uncle is doing it for my own good."
Many people in the village regard the girl as a girl who loses money, not to mention other families, but the second room of the Gu family has three daughters in a row. The grandparents didn't say anything, but the second uncle and the second aunt felt that they couldn't straighten their waists. It seems that Di Zhaodi's name and the treatment she received can tell her status in the hearts of her second uncle and aunt.
So when I first found out that my uncle was going to bring their family to open a tofu workshop, Gu Yao was full of joy. After the family has more income, no matter whether the elder brother or the younger brother can live a happy life, as for the craft of making tofu, Gu Yao is not at all. After thinking about it, it is the rule to pass on the male and not the female, and she is doing a good job in embroidery now, so she is not greedy for tofu making skills at all.
But I didn't expect that there would be a surprise on her head. If she could learn it, how could she dislike one more craft? No matter how poor you are, you can make a living by making tofu.
Gu Ren was ashamed, he was too narrow-minded, his brother-in-law was obviously more open-minded than him, without his brother-in-law's initiative to be a grandparent, it was impossible for his sister to have such an opportunity.
Gu Ren decided that when my uncle comes home next time, he must apologize to him, and he will not be awkward with him in the future. Speaking of which, he is still one year older than his uncle, and he often gets jealous of him. It shouldn't be.
Just do what you say, after the discussion, the two elders took the Gu family to get busy, Gu Yao also joined in, Gu Yi didn't have a share, he was sent to school, and was told to study hard with his uncle, in the future A good grade in the exam makes the elders happy.
It just so happened that Gu Daniu's new house was ready, and he didn't plan to move so soon, but now it's just right, the place where he lived was vacated as a tofu shop, Gu Ji Tofu shop was established and opened in this way, all the molds are It was done by Gu Ren, an apprentice carpenter.
The two elders of the Gu family led the big house to be busy all day long, and there was a strange and alluring smell wafting from the old house, which aroused the curiosity of the villagers in Shuiyun Village, who came to inquire what the Gu family was up to.
First, Mrs. Gu learned some tofu from the old man, and Mrs. Zhao opened the door to welcome the guests, and said happily: "I am making tofu at home, that is the white jade tofu in the town. Gu Ji Tofu Shop officially opened today. The white jade tofu made three days ago Tofu buy one get one free, and a piece of tofu is only ten yuan."
"Tofu? Is it really the same as the white jade tofu from the county in the town?" The villagers were shocked when they heard it, and they asked aloud, did they hear correctly?The Gu family can actually make this rare tofu. You must know that although there are restaurants in the town that sell dishes made of tofu, the tofu is bought from the county, so I don't know how to make it.
Xiao Zhao said happily: "Yes, it is exactly the same as the white jade tofu sold in the town and the county, and my tofu craftsmanship is the same as that of the Qijia Tofu Shop in the county, but Guji Tofu only costs ten yuan a piece, and the first three Buy one get one free every day, only for folks in our village, there is no such discount for outsiders.”
The villagers exploded when they heard it. Just at this time, Boss Gu brought out a plate of ready-made tofu. The villagers came to watch and expressed all kinds of exclamations. Doesn’t the tofu shop buy one and get one free? After a villager repeatedly confirmed that the size of the gift would not change, the clever decided to buy it together, so that the family could eat a piece of tofu for only five yuan.
With No.1 taking the lead, many of the onlookers followed suit. They can also try the white jade tofu sought after by the wealthy households in the town and county. I recommended several recipes to them. It doesn't matter if others learn it. Only after learning it will they often come to Gu's house to buy tofu.
So a plate of tofu was sold out in a blink of an eye, and everyone, young and old, squinted their eyes happily when they saw the copper coins falling into the cash box.
The first time I made not much tofu, and the consumption power in the village was limited, so after the tofu was finished, Gu Daniu borrowed a bullock cart to load the remaining tofu and sent it to the town to sell. There is no tofu shop in the town , and Gu Ji tofu is much cheaper than the county, Xiao Zhao is worried and went with the man.
When we arrived in the town, people came to buy it without even asking for it. When we heard the price, we bought it without even paying back the price. Xiao Zhao always said that he had the same craftsmanship as Qijia Tofu Shop in the county, and waited for someone in the restaurant to get the news. When they rushed over to have a look, Gu Daniu and Xiao Zhao had already sold out all the tofu they had brought, and they were happily preparing to go home.
"Wait, is the craftsmanship of your Guji Tofu Shop really the same as the Qijia Tofu Shop in the county?" the shopkeeper who rushed over asked worriedly.
Xiao Zhao is more eloquent than Gu Daniu, and she came forward to introduce: "Of course they are the same. There are two types of tender tofu and firm tofu, but they are sold out today. If customers want them, they have to come back tomorrow."
As soon as he said that there were two kinds of tofu, the shopkeeper knew that it was no different from Qijia Tofu Shop, so he asked again: "Then the relationship between you Gu Ji and Qijia is..."
Xiao Zhao was very shrewd at this time, these words were originally spoken by the Gu family after discussion, lest someone would be jealous and want to take away their business, the ordinary people could not stop them, so they had to get the support of the Qi family early.
Xiao Zhao said with a smile: "The prescriptions of the two families come from the same person, what do you think is the relationship?"
The shopkeeper believed most of it, and the rest was to go to Qijia Tofu Shop in the county to ask. He was indeed envious of this tofu craftsmanship. According to his and the chef's judgment, the cost of this tofu should not be high, and the profits in it are huge. Very, but with the Qi family's relationship, it's not something their restaurant can do.
The shopkeeper said with a smile: "Then you will send us a whole plate of tofu tomorrow. As long as the quality of the tofu is not inferior to that of Qijia Tofu Shop, our restaurant will order tofu from your Tofu Shop in the future."
Xiao Zhao's smile grew wider: "Okay, the quality of tofu is definitely not bad. Which restaurant are you from? It will be delivered to you tomorrow morning."
The shopkeeper reported the name and address of the restaurant, and Xiao Zhao and Gu Daniu drove the ox cart back to the village.
After leaving the town, Mrs. Zhao showed an overjoyed expression: "Boss, we don't make enough tofu today, and we have received so many orders."
Not only this restaurant, but also the wealthy households in the town, after tasting the tofu, they set the amount of tofu they want tomorrow in advance, so there is no need to worry about not being able to sell the tofu after making it, only if there is not enough to sell, think about making tofu In terms of materials and cost, Xiao Zhao is happy to see his teeth but not his eyes.
Gu Daniu was also dizzy with joy. He really didn't expect the business to be so good and earn so much in a day. Although he hadn't counted the money yet, he knew that the number would not be small: "Yes, yes, it's not enough to sell, let's ask Dad Do more tomorrow."
"Head of the family, after saving some money, our family can buy an ox cart by ourselves, otherwise we can't borrow it every day."
"Yes, you have to buy a bullock cart yourself, otherwise people will have opinions. But when we get back to the village, let's not get too complacent, restrain ourselves, restrain ourselves."
"Yes, be more restrained." This is called not revealing wealth, so as to avoid others' envy and jealousy.
When they got home, the old man closed the door with the big house and counted all the copper coins he had received. He was shocked. On this day, the old man didn’t dare to make more, so he made five plates of tofu, each plate was 25 yuan, and they were all sold out. There are a total of more than 1000 copper plates in the box. Even after deducting the cost and manpower, I have earned a tael of silver this day. This is the first day of testing the waters.
"Pinch me quickly to see if I'm dreaming." Xiao Zhao also fainted, suspecting that all this is not real.
Gu Daniu really pinched his daughter-in-law, Xiao Zhao yelled, the pain was not a dream, I really made a tael of silver today.
The old man and the old lady can still maintain their composure, mainly because they have calculated how much they can earn. After all, the cost is too low, and the old son also said that the price of tofu will fall. That is hard money, of course it must be more profitable than farming.
The old lady glared at Xiao Zhao: "Okay, don't be so nonsense, and be mentally prepared first, you won't be able to keep earning so much in the future, and you all know that the cost of tofu is not high, so the price will still be higher in the future." It will fall, don’t be unbearable at that time. And we have agreed first that the money earned here is divided into three parts, your big house gets one share, the two of us old ones get one share, and the remaining one is for Zhao’er Well, before Zhaoer comes back, we will keep it for Zhaoer. After all, Zhaoer brought this prescription back, and he told us to take you to do this business together. But Zhaoer also said, when the price of tofu drops to the lowest , he won’t divide our hard-earned money.”
One tael of silver is divided into three parts, and the big house can get more than 300 copper coins today. In the past, this is the income of doing odd jobs for a month, and you have to do it every day to earn it. How could Little Zhao be dissatisfied? Yes, now she is very grateful to Gu Zhao, and there is no more bad word.
She nodded again and again: "It should be, it should be, I think it's enough to get these."
In this way, she no longer has to worry that her youngest son will not have enough money to go to school, and when she saves more money, it will be enough to catch up for the exam in the future.
This is the first day, and on the second day, the money earned by the Gu family has doubled. Xiao Zhao and Gu Daniu are full of energy, and their spirits are getting better and better, even the two elders are the same. Don't panic if you have money in your pocket. They want to save some more money for their old son, and they don't have to worry about their grandchildren. Whether it's gift money or dowry money, the eldest couple can earn it.
As for the shopkeeper of the restaurant in the town, he rushed to the county to find Qijia Tofu Shop to inquire about the news that day. The owner of the tofu shop is covered, so people can't be bullied, so the shopkeeper of the restaurant and the owner behind him honestly place an order for tofu from Gu Ji tofu shop.
Although the ancient carriages have no shock-absorbing effect, Gu Zhao can't bear to live a more difficult life in the apocalypse. Even if he rummages through the books and sundries in the space in his free time, he is still willing to let him He lived a more comfortable life, but it turned out that he found the springs that he had thrown away, and the ancient tire manufacturing method. Gu Zhao wished he could test it on the spot after seeing it. give up.
Gu Zhao doubted whether the university dormitory he entered was the dormitory of the author of the two novels, otherwise, how could there be these two novels by chance, and the information that the author seems to have collected for writing the novel, could it be the author? Knowing that he wrote himself as cannon fodder to death, so he was secretly given these as compensation?
Gu Zhao laughed at his nonsensical thoughts, but he knew very well that the books and materials in the space were the greatest wealth he held in his hands. Of course, he could only make small fuss now, and he didn't have enough strength to guarantee it. Before, it was the crime of being pregnant.
When resting on the road, Qi Yunfei was very cautious and took good care of Gu Zhao and Song Ze. Even if he went out to relieve himself, he would send someone to follow him, so as not to cause any trouble to the two of them, and it would be too late to regret it.
Song Ze didn't know the inside story, so his favor with Qi Er Shao rose sharply, and privately mentioned a few words to Gu Zhao, saying that Qi Er Shao not only did not have the slightest airs of a young master, but also thoughtful, and he really took Gu Zhao, a friend, to his heart.
Gu Zhao is also very grateful for Qi Yunfei's dedication, and he also recognizes this friend.
Song Ze remembered something again, and asked with concern: "Is there any follow-up to what happened on the day of the county examination last time? Who is so despicable?"
Gu Zhao shrugged: "Not yet, that's why I'm going to Fucheng with the Qi family caravan, so as to avoid any accidents."
Song Ze nodded: "You should be more careful."
With such a lesson, Song Ze is now a little more cautious when going out, not to mention other things, at least he is more cautious when eating and drinking.
Gu Zhao didn't tell Song Ze that on the second day of departure, he found traces of someone following them, but the number was obviously limited, so he didn't dare to get too close to their caravan, lest they be discovered, but he couldn't escape Gu Zhao's eyes And perception, after all, without this keenness honed in the apocalypse, an ordinary person would not be able to live in such a dangerous environment in the apocalypse for several years.
Gu Zhao sneered in his heart. The old lady of the Gao family really didn't give up and insisted on cutting off his upward path. In the world, for the sake of his parents, he can get a certain status by being a scholar, and he can live a comfortable life leisurely after doing some business.
But some people don't want to let him go, that's forcing him to make progress. He wants to see what the real black hand behind the scenes is planning. If he doesn't tear off the real face of the black hand, he is not Gu Zhao. If it is resolved, even his parents will not be able to live a peaceful life.
As for Lao Shizi's life experience, as long as his parents don't drive him away, he will always be Gu Zhao's parents. For two lifetimes, he has only one name, which is Gu Zhao, and it is impossible to change it to his surname. It's a mouthful.
After the sun went down on the third day, the caravan camped on the side of the road for the night. They had enough dry food and didn’t need to worry about eating. They slept at night. Gu Zhao and the others also had a carriage.
Gu Zhao and Song Ze helped to pick up dry firewood together, Qi Yunfei specifically reminded them not to go far, and asked Li Wen to take the two of them to pick up together.
It hasn't rained in the past few days, so I quickly picked up enough dry firewood. Li Wen knew very well that Gu Zhao was being targeted by the old lady of the Gao family. Zhao Que stopped, sniffled, and asked, "Did you smell anything?"
Li Wen sniffed his nose vigilantly and sniffed hard: "What's the smell? Could it be that someone set off a wildfire?"
Gu Zhao laughed: "No, I smell blood, do you really not smell it?"
Song Ze looked around, but his face was still blank.
Li Wen knew that he was too conspiratorial, but he still didn't relax his guard: "Mr. Gu, you and Mr. Song should go back first, and I will bring someone to look for it."
Gu Zhao looked at the other two attendants: "You didn't notice either?" After seeing them shaking their heads, he said, "The smell of blood is very close, Li Wen, don't worry, we don't have to go too far, call if there is anything, Qi Brother and the others can hear it too."
Gu Zhao is too sensitive to the smell of blood. This is because someone was injured and bleeding. Fortunately, the smell of blood in this world will not attract zombies.
Li Wen thinks about what Gu Zhao said is right, they are not too far away from the camp where they are resting, and there is no noise here, if there is any accident, they can definitely hear it from the camp, but they still lead people to walk in front of Gu Zhao , protect the two frail scholars, yes, in the eyes of Li Wen and the caravan people, aren't these two frail scholars who are rushing for the exam?
In the direction Gu Zhao pointed, Gu Zhao found traces of weeds being crushed, and blood stains on some of the weeds. Li Wen, Song Ze, and the others’ expressions changed drastically. The same was true for Gu Zhao. Let’s go. After taking a few steps to push aside the weeds and vines in front of them, they found that the person lying in the pit below was covered in wounds, with a broken arrowhead on his back and a bloody hole in his head.
Li Wen suddenly panicked. This man was obviously being chased and killed, and he even used an arrow. It was obviously not simple. He subconsciously looked at Gu Zhao and Song Ze: "Mr. Gu, Mr. Song, what should we do now?"
Gu Zhao was also very surprised, he didn't expect to encounter such a situation, but he was bold enough to jump down to detect the pulse and breath of the inspector, wanting to see if the person was dead or alive.
As a result, he had just put his hand under the man's nose, and he still felt that the man looked sideways with a straight nose, he should be a handsome young man, and his stature was not too old, when suddenly the man's closed eyes suddenly opened Open, when he was vigilant and wanted to back away, his wrist was also grabbed by this man.
Now it's all right, without him probing, he knows that this person is not dead yet. Gu Zhao didn't care about being surprised, but was attracted by the wolf-like black eyes opened in front of him. Gu Zhao tried to break free, but That hand didn't let go as it stared into his eyes.
Gu Zhao was worried that the force of breaking free would be too strong, causing this person to be injured even more. He accidentally died. Seeing him open his eyes at this moment, he found that he was really young, at most a child in his early ten years old, Rare heart couldn't bear to say: "You let go of me first, tell me who you are before I can save you."
The wounded did not speak, but his eyes were still staring at the person in front of him, as if he wanted to engrave it firmly in the depths of his mind, just like opening his eyes just now, suddenly his head tilted, and Gu Zhao loosened his hands. People passed out again.
"Gu Zhao, what's the situation?"
Gu Zhao didn't know what was going on, maybe this guy's eyes touched a certain nerve in his heart, and he heard Song Ze's shout and replied: "There is still vitality, come down and carry him away, and then wipe away the traces here, we Don’t stay here overnight if you’re on your way all night.”
"Is this person going to be taken away?" Will it be a problem?Li Wen said worriedly.
"Whether we stay or not is the same for us," Song Ze calmed down quickly, "Since we are still angry, we can't just ignore death, Gu Zhao is right, we have to leave this place as soon as possible. "
The two attendants obeyed orders. Since the two young masters said so, they jumped down to move people quickly. Gu Zhao left traces of cleaning up here. Song Ze and Li Wen followed suit. No time for Gu Zhao to know more than them.
Qi Yunfei also didn't expect to encounter such a thing on the road. When he saw the person who was being carried back, he immediately made the same decision. He didn't care about spending the night here and rested.
The wounded were placed on a loaded ox cart, and Gu Zhao followed into the ox cart and said, "I want to bring him back for rescue, and I'll help him deal with his injuries so that he doesn't get hurt by us." Dead in hand."
"Wait a minute, I'll go to the carriage to get some wound medicine." Qi Yunfei of course prepared some basic wound medicine when he was away from home. If the person is brought out, if the identity of this person is not simple, maybe they will be held accountable.
Song Ze wanted to help but couldn't do anything, so Gu Zhao drove him back to the carriage, and he would call out when necessary.
Both Gu Zhao and others have confirmed that this is really just a child in his early ten years old, but he ended up like this, the background is definitely not simple, and there are many entanglements behind it.
Gu Zhao was on the bullock cart, wiping the blood stains on his body with a cloth soaked in water, thinking whether it was a mistake to bring this half-grown boy back, maybe it was the moment when he opened his eyes just now, this half-grown boy The consciousness of wanting to live is too strong, which made Gu Zhao feel the same way. Once in the last days, he also wanted to live desperately, but the situation was beyond his control, so he still died in the last days.
But now there is no need to regret it, everyone has been brought back, could it be said that he can still throw people halfway?After being tracked down by the people behind the half-grown boy, they still can't tell the difference.
Now that we’ve been saved, let’s try our best to revive him. This guy’s body is hot and he’s lost a lot of blood. Gu Zhao hurriedly removed the medicines in the space. Although there weren’t many of them, fortunately, there were both fever-reducing and anti-inflammation medicines. Gu Zhao was the same. Feed this guy with water for one grain.
Qi Yunfei came over with the wound medicine. Gu Zhao was helping the wounded man deal with the bloody hole on his head, and asked Qi Feiyun, "Is there any spirits? Other alcohols are fine without spirits."
Qi Yunfei didn't expect that his younger brother was also good at treating wounds, so he put down the wound medicine and said quickly, "I'll go find it."
It was useless for him to look for it. Li Wen ran to bring a wine jar. Gu Zhao didn't care about it. He poured wine to wash the wound. It can't be compared with alcohol, but it can disinfect poison, and it is better than doing nothing. Well, the situation of waking up suddenly before was really unexpected, and now there was alcohol irritating the wound, and the half-grown child lying there didn't even move.
Qi Yunfei helped to treat the wound, and also studied this guy, surprised: "How old is this guy? Eleven or twelve? His background is definitely not bad, but he has ended up in such a miserable situation at such a young age."
With a sound of "嗞啦", Gu Zhao tore off the inner lining of the half-grown boy, bandaged the wound on his head that had been covered with wound medicine to stop the bleeding, and motioned Qi Yunfei to look at the inner lining: "Look, the inner lining is wearing The fine silk must belong to a rich family, this time we may be involved in the infighting among the rich and powerful."
Qi Yunfei stretched out his hand to touch it, that's right, the Qi family didn't even have such high-quality fabrics, but considering the age of the injured, he couldn't let go of his hands and wait for death, but he said worriedly: "What's wrong with the arrow on his back? What to do? If the arrow is not pulled out, the rescue is useless, right? As you said, Gu Zhao, can we find a doctor for him after we enter the city?"
The body of the arrow was broken, so only the arrow was still in the flesh. Gu Zhao found that the part where the arrow hit was not critical, otherwise he might not be able to wait for them to appear. He wanted to bring them back to save them, but in Before finding out the origin of the half-grown boy, he didn't want Qi Yunfei and the Qi family caravan to be implicated.
Gu Zhao gritted his teeth and said, "Why don't I pull out the arrow for him? Whether he survives depends on his own luck. We'll just do our best."
Qi Yunfei was taken aback, Gu Zhao was not much older than this half-grown boy, it was bold enough not to be frightened out of his wits by such an injury, but he still wanted to draw the arrow himself? "Why don't you come, I'm older than you anyway."
"Second Brother Qi, do you dare to do it? Can you solve it neatly? If not, I'll come. I'm still a little confident." In the last days, even the rotten flesh on your body can be dug up by hand to help others deal with it. That is a piece of cake.
"Really?" Qi Yunfei was startled.
"Just let me try, I need some tools and I need to sanitize them."
"Okay, you report it, and I'll prepare." Qi Yunfei looked at the half-grown boy who was unconscious, and then at the calm Gu Zhao, gritted his teeth and said cruelly, at worst, he would take over when Gu Zhao couldn't do it. That's it, as Gu Zhao said, whether he can survive or not depends on the luck of the half-grown boy himself, otherwise they just happened to pass by, and Gu Zhao smelled blood again, and the half-grown boy hid in that pit, sooner or later It is also a dead word.
Qi Yunfei and Li Wen chatted again, found the knife, and sterilized the knife with fire according to what Gu Zhao said, then he and Li Wen held down the half-grown boy together, Gu Zhao raised the knife, and went down to dig the flesh without the slightest hesitation Taking the arrow, the action was as he said, fast and agile, but when the blood splashed out, Li Wen and Qi Yunfei turned pale and dizzy at the same time, and the half-grown boy's body convulsed, and the two quickly regained their senses and held him down.
Digging up the meat to get the arrowhead, Gu Zhao did it without changing his face, and then applied hemostatic medicine and wound medicine, and then bandaged the wound with a cloth strip. Except for a little movement when pulling out the arrowhead, the half-grown boy just lay there motionless again. Gu Zhao moved, and after the dressing was finished, Qi Yunfei and Li Wenqi fell down on the bullock cart and wiped the sweat from their foreheads with their hands, scaring everyone to death.
Gu Zhao calmly began to clean his hands, washing off the blood from his hands, and said: "Then we will be left to fate, after all, we are not doctors."
Qi Yunfei couldn't help boasting: "This is already very good. Without you, Gu Zhao, his situation will be worse and worse, and he can only wait to die."
"Young master Gu is so powerful." Li Wen also admired him sincerely.
Qi Yunfei also calmed down a lot now, and said, "Gu Zhao, go back to the carriage and rest, I'll arrange someone to watch over here."
Gu Zhao nodded. After cleaning himself up, he got out of the bullock cart and climbed into his and Song Ze's carriage. He really did everything he could. If the situation deteriorated in the middle of the night, there was nothing he could do about it. up.
Although Song Ze was holding the book by the oil lamp, he didn't read much. He was always worried about the situation on the bullock cart. Now when he saw Gu Zhao came back, he asked, "What's the matter?"
Gu Zhao smiled and said, "Second Brother Qi and I helped him deal with his injuries. We did our best. The rest will depend on his own luck."
Song Ze nodded: "That's enough."
It was not possible to sleep well in the traveling carriage, so Gu Zhao and Song Ze took a few naps in the carriage. When the convoy stopped at dawn, they got off the carriage and washed up with everyone for breakfast.
At night, Qi Yunfei had already issued a gag order to the convoy, strictly forbidding anyone to confide a single word to the outside world. Everyone knew that the situation was serious, and besides, they had to rely on Qi's family to make a living, so they consciously kept their mouths shut. One complaint, because Qi Ershao said that when he returns to Qinghe County, he will give everyone processing money.
Qi Yunfei didn't close his eyes much at night. Fortunately, their convoy was not stopped by anyone until dawn, which made him relieved. He asked the convoy to stop, have a good breakfast and rest before continuing on the road. He planned for the best Get to Fucheng before it gets dark today, maybe you can really relax there.
After breakfast, Gu Zhao climbed into the ox cart to see the condition of the injured. There were people guarding the cart. The ox cart was more bumpy than the horse cart, so it was only this guy who hadn't woken up, otherwise the feeling would be even more uncomfortable.
"Did you wake up at night?" Gu Zhao touched his forehead, but luckily it wasn't very hot. This made Gu Zhao feel relieved. In his mind, it should be the effect of anti-inflammatory drugs. Ancient people were not as easy as modern people to take too much western medicine If it develops drug resistance, as long as it doesn't continue to burn, it shouldn't be a big problem.
"No, the second young master confessed to give him some water every once in a while."
Gu Zhao nodded and said, "Go out and wash up and eat something, I'll watch."
The man went out obediently. Gu Zhao sent him away on purpose, and then gave the half-grown boy some anti-inflammatory medicine.
After a while, Song Ze and Qi Yunfei came over together. Song Ze touched his forehead and smiled, obviously knowing that the situation was not bad.
Qi Yunfei took out a jade pendant from under the half-grown boy and said, "This was found by Li Wen when he changed his blood-stained clothes at night. It may be his identity card with the word "霂" on it, but there are no other clues." That's right, I've already had my original clothes burned."
This jade pendant does not need Qi Yunfei to tell, Gu Zhao and Song Ze can tell that it is a high-quality suet white jade, which once again proves that the identity of the jade pendant's owner is not simple. The three of them looked at each other, and Gu Zhao said: "This person had better wake up early Come here, let him take the jade pendant and leave quickly when he wakes up."
He can't cause trouble for second brother Qi.
Song Ze didn't say anything, no matter how ignorant the world was, he knew that what he took over was a hot potato.
Qi Yunfei nodded and said, "That's the only way."
The Qi family looked okay in Qinghe County, but it was nothing outside of Qinghe County. It was beyond their ability to meddle in matters involving the infighting of the powerful.
Before sending him away, Qi Yunfei was still very dedicated, and even made rice soup to be fed to the injured.
By the afternoon,
