Chương 169: Even
However, Gulan was no longer at the age of screaming, and she was watching with great interest, even gesticulating with her hands and feet from time to time. Gulan came over without trying to dodge, she just stood there casually, so Xiang Yunjin could see her at a glance.
Seeing Gulan following suit, he was not annoyed by Gulan's behavior and deliberately slowed down his pace. These days were enough for him to have a certain understanding of Gulan's martial arts ability. This guy seemed to be good at fists and feet, his strength was amazing, and his body shape was also very strange, but he was relatively inferior in terms of swordsmanship.
His sword skills were not a secret, so Gulan just learned them. He is not a stingy person and is very tolerant towards his savior. One was interested, the other didn't mind, and after finishing a set of sword techniques, Gulan learned most of them.
"Thank you, Brother Jin." Gulan was not an ungrateful person. How could she not notice that Xiang Yunjin deliberately slowed down his pace?
"What are you thanking me for? We're even now." Xiang Yunjin glanced at Gulan and smiled.
"What do you mean by even?" Gulan was really confused.
"You learned my swordsmanship, and I learned your boxing skills." Xiang Yunjin did not throw away the wooden stick he picked up casually with his left hand, but with his other hand, he punched like Gulan practicing boxing, reminding him.
"When will I teach you..." Gulan stopped talking halfway. She didn't teach, but she would lead the young men from Lijia Village to practice for half an hour before dawn every day. With this guy's intelligence, it is enough for him to learn it.
"Did you remember?" Xiang Yunjin glanced at Gulan and took the first step forward.
It's noon, time for a nap.
Gulan looked at Xiang Yunjin's back and suddenly smiled. Gulan expressed her admiration for this character of not liking to take advantage of others.
"If you put it that way, it's even." So she learned to do the same as Yun Jin without any burden. She picked up a wooden stick, recalled the moves in her mind, and practiced them seriously several times to deepen her impression. After living a new life, not only has my physical identity changed, but my mind and consciousness have also become much clearer. Therefore, she was able to remember Xiang Yunjin's strange and changeable sword style after watching it several times.
Time passed quickly and the sun set. In order to allow the family members who had worked hard on the journey to have a hot dinner when they returned, the people left behind in the garrison began to prepare meals when the sun was setting.
Inspired by Gulan's lunch, Gulan went up the mountain in the afternoon to hunt two wild boars and sold them to them at a low price. Almost every family bought a lot. More than ten pounds only cost a few dozen coins. Half a day's wages can feed you for many days. The most important thing is that it can nourish your body. Anyone who cares about his or her family will immediately cut off a piece of the mushroom and prepare it as a dinner to nourish their family.
Even Baodan Niang from Xishan Village cut ten kilograms of meat to nourish the bodies of her men who did heavy work. Baodan's mother is stingy, but not stupid. She knows the importance of her man's body. Seeing others bringing home hundreds or even thousands of coins every day, Baodan's mother regretted it so much. If she had known earlier, she would not have sold the two money-losing goods. With the money-losing goods to look after her son, she could also go out to work with her husband. She has lost a lot of money these days and she is heartbroken. She is not popular, and even the village chief's family is unwilling to help her look after the baby. No matter how much she loves her son, she can only look after him by herself.
Wen Ai also bought dozens of kilograms of wild boar meat. Although they were not short of meat, Guo Yi would send people to the mountains to catch some pheasants and rabbits every day, but they had never encountered wild boars. Hongyao, who is good at cooking, stewed them all at once and made them into braised pork to satisfy your craving.
For this purpose, I went to several places just to borrow a big iron pot, but some of them didn't have one or they were stewing meat.
Finally, I borrowed one from Gulan.
As for Gulan, he had just eaten meat for lunch and there was also medicinal chicken in the clay pot, so the big iron pot was empty. As soon as Hongyao opened her mouth, Gulan generously lent it to her. When everyone took a break from work, almost everyone had a meal of the braised pork to satisfy their cravings.
Even Wen Ai was polite enough to eat two pieces, exaggerating the price of Hongyao. During the days stuck here, Wen Ai almost went back and forth between two places, either in the tent or in the carriage. Even when she went out for some fresh air, she wore a veil and was followed by maids and attendants.
Few people could see her, and the people in Lijia Village were very conscious. They knew that there was a distinguished person in the carriage, so they spontaneously stayed away from the carriage.
Gulan has never come here once. For this reason, Wen Ai had a higher opinion of Dr. Gulan.
There was a chill breeze, and the night passed peacefully like the previous ones. When the sky was just beginning to turn pale, the group led by Wang Yun had already climbed up the mountain that the prince had pointed out, and were now halfway up the mountain. Even without using any light skills, their speed was not slow. It only took them more than half an hour to climb over a mountain that was nearly a thousand meters high.
When they arrived at the place between the two mountains mentioned by the prince, the sky was already bright. The sunlight shone through the clouds like golden sand and sprinkled on the world. Under the shining of the morning dew, it was dazzlingly beautiful. It didn't take long to find the plants that the prince had mentioned. There were large patches of them in every place. Some places had been eaten, and the leaves and vines were in a mess.
Taking out the leaf given to him by the prince, Wang Yun compared it carefully and confirmed that it was correct. Under his leadership, the brothers began to dig with the weapons in their hands. Wang Yun wanted to pick up a few shovels or hoes from the place where his son was temporarily living, but he gave up the idea for fear of being exposed. Now they can only use their weapons to dig.
Fortunately, the soil here is not particularly solid. They can pull up a lot of soil with the roots by pulling the vines, which saves some effort. Apart from those that are broken, a vine can still produce quite a few fruits. Some of them are small but solid. They dug out a pile from just a small piece. Wang Yun seemed to understand why the prince had asked them to go up the mountain to dig for this thing. This is the output in such a short time, it looks quite pleasing.
The prince probably asked them to go up the mountain to dig for this reason. The prince never does anything without a reason. He must have had some consideration in his mind. Thinking of this, there are more shots of everyone digging. They went up the mountain on an empty stomach, and after working for a while, everyone was already starving.
Thinking of the traces of being eaten by animals, Wang Yun and the others had no taboos since this thing was edible. They picked up one and rubbed it clean, then peeled off the skin with a sharp knife and ate it raw. As soon as they put it in their mouths, they were all dazzled. The taste was not as bad as they had imagined. On the contrary, it had a hint of sweetness and was crispy, but surprisingly delicious. After eating it, they seemed to realize that this was a good thing, and without even taking a rest, it started digging again. Half an hour later, relying on the swords in their hands and their large numbers, they finally dug out a piece of land.
Just when I was gathering the things and packing them up and preparing to continue, I received a warning signal from my brother on guard.
...A big guy is coming.
The brother on guard jumped down from the tree without saying a word.
"Boss, there is a herd of wild boars coming. They are still several hundred meters away from us."
