days of being forced

Chapter 12

When Gu Xingzhi came back from practicing on the mountain, there was no one else in the house, and those who should be working had already left the house.

He spontaneously went to the kitchen to look for something to eat, opened the lid of the pot, and there was a bowl of sweet potato porridge inside that was still hot, and there was a small bowl next to it that contained the stir-fried vegetables in the morning.He picked up the bowl, and when he was about to go out, he heard the voices of Gu Lishi and Gu Qingqing outside.

Gu Xingzhi keenly heard the word 'separation', he didn't feel ashamed to listen to the wrong corner, so he didn't go out, just leaned against the stove, picked up a bowl and ate while listening to what they had to say.

Gu Lishi came back to get a basket, and when Gu Qingqing saw it, she ran over to discuss the separation of the family that she had mentioned before.

"Mom, what are you going to do about the separation?"

Gu Lishi said: "Didn't the second daughter-in-law disagree last night? How can we divide it?" They originally thought of dividing the second room separately. Zhao Xiulan still looked eager to get out before, but now she doesn't know what's wrong. .

Gu Qingqing also knew about this, she even tested Zhao Xiulan yesterday, but she seemed really determined not to split up.

Thinking about Zhao Xiulan's cynicism and sarcasm towards her in the past, Gu Qingqing was quite vengeful, she didn't like having such a person in the family, she bit her lip, "Mom, can't we just pretend to separate directly? When the time comes Let's follow the eldest brother's house, don't you know the temperament of the third brother and his wife, mother, what do you say, they still do it, we still live together, it is the same as dividing the second room separately."

Her three elder brothers are all obedient and obedient, especially the third elder brother and third sister-in-law, who have no opinions at all. Gu Qingqing reckons that even if her mother wants to sell the two maids of the third room, although the third brother and third sister-in-law are reluctant, But he would still cry and agree.

Gu Lishi obviously knew her sons very well, so she was a little moved.

At this moment, Gu Xingzhi heard his mother's voice resounding loudly in the courtyard: "Oh, the young lady in our family is really different. No one's sister-in-law is as capable as my sister-in-law. I will push my old lady to separate the family in a light way, and I will be very capable in the future."

Gu Xingzhi: ...

He felt a little sympathetic for Gu Qingqing's misfortune. If he remembered correctly, his mother just told him two days ago that she heard Gu Qingqing in the room persuading Gu Lishi to separate their second room.

In just a few days, it has been heard by people, and it's not a little bit of a back.

Zhao Xiulan is so angry, it doesn't matter if she wants to separate, but she doesn't want to, and there are people playing dirty tricks behind her back, so she feels uncomfortable.

Thinking of this, the voice of her mouth became louder, and she turned her head and yelled at the door, Gu Qingqing, a girl who dared to plot against her, would not let her feel better, see if this matter gets out, who else? The family is willing to marry her.

Gu Lishi also thought of this, she hurried out and said with a serious face: "Second daughter-in-law, you are not working in the field, what are you doing when you come back?"

"Mother." Zhao Xiulan said, "If I hadn't come back to the latrine, I wouldn't have heard such wonderful things!" People in the village don't pay much attention to how to relieve themselves. Yes, Zhao Xiulan came back this time because someone in the field was inconvenient, and she wanted to come back to see her son.

No, it just happened to hit me.

It's because they are not honest about this matter, and Gu Lishi can't get angry at Zhao Xiulan, so he just said with a dark face: "What are you doing so loudly, I'm afraid outsiders won't hear it. If Qingqing's reputation is ruined, I don't want you to look good!"

Does Gu Qingqing still have a reputation?Zhao Xiulan curled her lips in disdain, who wouldn't mutter behind her back that this girl from the Gu family doesn't do any work, who would want to marry such a girl?

But after all, she still didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Gu Lishi, and looked at Gu Qingqing for a while before she went to relieve herself.

Gu Xingzhi finished his meal in an unhurried manner, and waited for the noise outside to disappear before washing the dishes and going out.

As soon as he came out of the kitchen, he saw Gu Qingqing sitting in the room, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Gu Qingqing was shocked when he saw Gu Xingzhi come out, thinking that he should have been heard by others, feeling embarrassed and ashamed.

Her mouth opened, but she still didn't know what to say. Gu Qingqing wanted to cry when she thought about what had happened to her when she said bad things in front of her.

Gu Xingzhi glanced at her, said nothing, and went out directly.

Gu Qingqing stopped him, "Wait."

Gu Xingzhi turned to look at her, Gu Qingqing lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry."

"I accused you of asking Gu Ming to cut his hair that day indiscriminately. I was wrong. I'm sorry."

After watching for a while, before Gu Qingqing could speak again, Gu Xingzhi thought that the other party should have finished speaking, so he turned and left.

All he thinks about all day now is to improve his cultivation and heal his legs.

Going up the mountain again, by the stream, Gu Xingzhi untied the cloth towel wrapped around his head, washed his hair several times, and finally jumped in to take a bath in another place.

With loose clothes on his body and wet hair behind him, Gu Xingzhi was about to start working again. He had searched the pharmacopoeia for key words of leg injuries, and most of the ones that came out could not completely heal his legs. He was cured, but he had not yet reached the level recognized by the Pharmacopoeia, so he could not check the specific information.

Gu Xingzhi himself knows a lot about the prescriptions that can completely leave no sequelae, but unfortunately the two worlds are different, and he can't collect medicinal materials.

Suddenly, Gu Xingzhi paused in his thoughts. He did not have medicinal materials from the Canglan Continent, but since this pharmacopoeia was created by his ancestors of the Gu family, there must be some.And because it is an ancestor, it must be mainly for the good of the descendants, maybe it is not so rigid.

The most important thing now is that the ancestor must have thought about this situation back then. If he hadn't set it up, he would stick to a rigid procedure and think about it in vain.

He tried to write down his thoughts on the clean page, and after waiting for a while, as expected, a line of words appeared on the page: After testing that the inheritor’s legs did indeed have problems, the following 26 basic prescriptions were randomly refined, and the grade of each medicine Reaching five stars will reward one Bone Forging Jue, several matching prescriptions, and several medicinal materials.

Bone Forging Jue: It was created by friends from the God Realm of our ancestors.

Seeing this explanation, Gu Xingzhi fell silent.At the same time, they also have high expectations for this exercise. The Canglan Continent lacks this kind of exercise the most. They are used to using alchemy to solve everything. There is no problem that a pill can't solve.

For a while, Gu Xingzhi's passion for refining medicine increased greatly, coupled with his unique talent, he directly groped and practiced six kinds of pills that met the requirements in a day.According to his performance in the past two days, Pharmacopoeia directly raised his level by two levels.

Originally, he planned to continue, but it wasn't until he vaguely heard his mother's voice in his ears that Gu Xingzhi stood up in confusion and looked towards the direction from which the voice came.

"Xiaoer, where are you?"

It is indeed his mother!Gu Xingzhi shouted: "Mom, I'm here."

Zhao Xiulan's figure quickly appeared in front of Gu Xingzhi's eyes. She trotted all the way over, and said in a low voice, "Don't run up the mountain by yourself. Listen to the wild animals in the mountain. What if you run out?" No Dare to speak loudly, for fear of disturbing the beasts in the deep mountains, the sound of wolves howling came from inside, and it could be heard that it was far away, but Zhao Xiulan's face was still pale with fright.

She quickly hugged her son's things in her arms and urged, "Hurry up, let's go."

Gu Xingzhi speeded up his movements obediently, "Mother, why are you here?"

"It's not because of you. You have to eat. You don't come back all the time. You can't do this every day. I searched for a long time but couldn't find anyone. I heard that you went up the mountain before I came to take a look. How dangerous the mountain is at night. After you Don't come up."

It wasn't until she saw the foot of the mountain that Zhao Xiulan's nervousness eased.

Back home, just in time for dinner.At the dinner table, Gu Xingzhi also met Gu Hua, the lobby brother of the big house for the first time. Gu Hua looks very ordinary. Speaking of which, the looks of the women in this family, including Gu Li's, are not low, but in this generation, they are really good-looking. There are only Gu Erlang and his younger sister Gu Liqin.

Gu Qingqing is now gradually showing a delicate and beautiful appearance because of taking the spiritual liquid, and it was relatively ordinary before.

The family sat down to eat, and occasionally said a few words. When it was almost the end, Gu Huacai said, "Grandma, the students in our school held a poetry meeting, and I need to buy a new set of clothes. The old ones are all old."

Gu Lishi said: "Okay, grandma will give your mother money later, and let her make you a body again."

Gu Hua nodded, "There is also an entrance fee of two taels of silver for the poetry club." There is an entrance fee, but there is not so much, and Gu Hua does not plan to participate in this poetry club, he just needs a name to find a family Ask for silver.

He didn't ask too much every time. Within the scope of this family's responsibility, even if Mrs. Gu Li went to ask other students, he would investigate the matter, but he didn't participate, so he never revealed the truth.

Studying requires money. Although Gu Li felt a little distressed, she still agreed.

Zhao Xiulan snorted coldly, "I'm still participating in the poetry meeting, and the county exam is just a few months away. How is my nephew doing? How many years has it been since I took the exam, and I didn't even pass the exam. It took so much Yinzi, I didn’t even hear a splash.”

Gu Hua lowered his head and ate quietly.

Speaking of her son, Zhang couldn't help it: "Second brother, what do you mean?"

"What do you mean you can't understand?" Zhao Xiulan asked.

"Okay." Gu Li said: "Second daughter-in-law, you are dissatisfied with me. It was agreed by everyone to send the old family's children to school. What are you talking about now?"

Zhao Xiulan curled her lips, "At the beginning, how could I have thought that my eldest nephew would not be able to let out a fart. I only knew that the sky would ask for money, and if I couldn't study, I would come back quickly. I think Gu Wen from Sanfang is better at studying than my eldest nephew." He is also more like a scholar.

Most of the family's expenses are spent on Gu Hua and Gu Qingqing. You need to dress well and eat well when you study, and you have to meet with your classmates at every turn. Zhao Xiulan is exhausted every day, so of course she doesn't like it. Hearing that Gu Qingqing and Gu Lishi discussed getting her away today, it's no wonder that her words are not pleasant now.

Gu Li said: "It costs a lot of money to study, but in the future, when the child is admitted and becomes an official, this is the glory of our family, and you are the same."

"Don't." Zhao Xiulan sneered: "I'm about to be kicked out, and I want to return the honor of the family. I'm here to be a cow and a horse for your family. I might kick you when I get the honor. Me." When she said this, she still stared at Gu Qingqing vaguely.

Gu Qingqing felt a little guilty when she saw it. After hearing what Zhao Xiulan said, she felt that she was a bit of a white-eyed wolf when she wanted to separate people.But how could everything in the world be so fair, Zhao Xiulan aimed at her, of course she didn't like her, and she didn't want this person to cling to her own prosperity.

However, Gu Lishi was hit by these words, slapped the table, and said angrily: "The second family, you are a troublemaker, you just can't see a moment of peace in the house, right? Points, I think this family must score points. "
