Chapter 561

'brush and pull'

Gu Zheng, who stepped into the grass, completely lost his figure, but the radian of the corners of his mouth became larger and larger, and his smile filled the whole face.

"Ha ha ha!"

A flock of birds "fluttered at the edges" and went away. Uncle Gu, who was waiting on the sheep intestines path, was surprised and showed his head from behind a bush.

"Zheng, what are you laughing at? You're so happy."

"Uncle! I can't help laughing when I see my family. Uncle, are our grandma and aunt all right?"

Hearing this, Gu Zheng and Gu Er Shu didn't stop. They grabbed the branches of the trees and began to walk in the direction led by Gu Zheng. During this period, Gu Er Shu also told the current situation of his family.

"Zheng Zi, uncle said nothing. Uncle wants to thank you."

"If you hadn't brought your uncle back this time, your old uncle's family might be scattered soon."

Gu Zheng didn't answer, which was expected.

Gu Er Shu's age is not like his parents, but also an eldest son who can support him.

Their daughter-in-law is just ten years old. I'm afraid all the farm work in the field is scarce.

As a listener, Gu Zheng was indeed qualified. Uncle Gu's words stopped abruptly and he was unwilling to mention the difficulties at home.

Which family is better these days?

If you want to live well, it is not the pity of others, but that he should be able to stand up.

In this way, the two groups who had cultivated a short tacit understanding shared the big cake in Gu Zheng's arms and praised the nurturers of the soil and water in their hometown. Climbing mountains and mountains, they came to the secret base of Gu father and Gu Zheng when they were young.

Deep in the dense forest, there is especially the sound of water,

Behind the stone cliff, there is another cave.

In the gentle slope full of woods, there is a corner like a blind spot for the naked eye. When you turn the edge, you find that this is the Peach Blossom Land in people's mind.

The green grass is quiet, the white wall is towering, and countless unknown flowers open and fall here quietly, and then return to the earth silently.

The two intruders startled the rabbit who accidentally came here to look for food in the grass. In panic, they ran away in a circle in the deep part of the lawn.

'poof Lala'... Confused and helpless.

When Gu Zheng finished enjoying this magnificent beauty and continued to explore his memory, the forest cabin he had a little impression of when he was a child appeared in front of him.

But looking at the appearance and state of the house, Gu Zheng's heart was a click.

After taking two quick steps, he stopped at the root of the wall of the wooden house, grabbed the original wood board that formed the four walls of the wooden house, and pulled it out. It was like he had practiced Eagle Claw skill and pulled a large piece of the wooden wall.

The house is too rotten to live in.

Gu Zheng's eyebrows wrinkled, but at the call of Uncle Gu, he began to walk to the deepest direction of the wooden house.

"Gu Zheng, come and see. The original water source is here."

Along the sound, not far ahead, the scenery at your feet has not changed much, but the roaring sound of water in your ears is getting louder and louder.

When Gu Zheng saw the second uncle by the water, he finally understood why the wooden house was so rotten.

There are waterfalls here.

Straight down the white cliff on one side. Due to the impact of water flow, the bluestone under it has been washed out into a large-scale deep pool for many years. After the water in the deep pool overflows, it goes straight down the mountain along the river on both sides.

Because there are many stones in the river, you can find a lot of footholds, and you don't have to worry about the wandering of streams caused by rainstorm, which flooded the surrounding land.

After seeing this landscape, Gu Zheng found the culprit.

The mountain forests in the north are much drier than the dense forests in the south.

In this not too rainy environment, houses can't live for decades, mostly because the water vapor stirred by the waterfall has soaked and spread for many years.

But compared with its real value, the damage to the wooden house is not worth mentioning.

Clear streams are the most important factor in human habitation.

Close to mountains and rivers may be the most basic standard for settlement in the mountains and forests.

This place is available.

Gu Zheng, who had made up his mind, put down the basket behind him and assigned the task to Gu Er Shu.

"Second uncle, building a house is the first thing, as well as the investigation of the terrain."

"As far as I know, we haven't seen wolves in the middle of the mountain for many years. At that time, we'll explore the neighborhood while working."

"Lest more people come up later, and children don't know the importance, and then break into the territory of any beast by mistake."

"Always know."

Hearing this, uncle Gu agreed very much. He pointed to the direction of the original wooden houses and said, "then I'll clean up the original wooden house foundation."

"I think the planned place is still good. We also need a temporary place at night to unload those high-risk logs first, replace them with new ones on the original basis, and then clean out the old ones."

"So we won't sleep outside, will we?"

Gu Zheng thought it was a good idea. He nodded decisively and said, "just according to uncle, I'll go logging first."

Yes.

After the division of labor and cooperation, Gu Zheng ran fast. The axe on his back finally contributed the most important strength.

The axe in the Sui Dynasty is really different from the modern axe.

The axe Gu Zheng used to chop firewood also looked like the mountain axe depicted in the storytelling romance because of the unified system of the blacksmith shop.

One end of the cutting edge of the axe is like an arc of a month and a half, and the back of the axe creates a concave shape like a gourd.

Coupled with the craft at this time, it is impossible to make the axe light and thin and save materials, which is more heavy than the fire axe Gu Zheng once got in his hand.

It was so majestic that Gu Zheng, who had been calm for a long time, couldn't help playing. He raised the long handled axe high and put on a decent posture. Facing the air in the air, he shouted: "come on! Grandpa Gu Kui is here, accept your life!"

"Bang!"

The whole axe struck horizontally on the thick tree trunk with a bowl mouth opposite him.

"Poof!"

The pieces of wood splashed out, and the axe was much better than expected.

If the blade of a slightly thinner axe doesn't need to cut down a few trees, the axe blade will have to be rolled up.

It seems that the wisdom of the people is infinite. For the poor farmers, such a thick axe can stand long-term use.

I don't know whether it is Gu Zheng's illusion that the client's body in this world has infinite power.

The trees on the opposite side were only chopped four or five times, and they squeaked and tilted. Finally, the wood fiber on one side could not bear the weight of the whole tree and fell helplessly to one side.

Seeing this, Gu Zheng was excited. He felt a dry heat surging up on his body. He couldn't help but take off his linen coat and expose his lean and naked upper body. He spit in his hands. After swinging it round, he began to work hard.

"Bang Bang..."

The sound of solid logging echoed far away in the empty mountains and forests. It was slightly lonely, but the rhythm was very strong, which made the people who heard it full of energy.

This ECHO made uncle Gu, who was cleaning up the old house, smile knowingly. It also pointed out the direction of his big brother for Gu Dabao and Gu Xiaobei, who appeared in the mountains.

The seven or eight year old sister rolled crystal tears in her eyes, wiped her face pulled out of the red road by grass leaves because she had just climbed the mountain, excitedly pulled the back of her little brother in front, pointed to the empty direction and shouted, "brother, do you think it's the voice made by big brother?"

The little Gu Bao who is in charge of leading the way to explore the mountain in front, because he has to take care of his sister behind him and open the way in front. It looks much more embarrassed than his little sister.

But as a child on the edge of a solid mountain, he listened to the direction of the sound with a little excitement, rubbed his sleeve carelessly, and said, "it should be that the mountain is very deep, and the villagers won't come on weekdays."

"I'm afraid big brother is busy inside."

"Little sister, take it easy. Let's go and have a look."

"Yes!"

The little head nodded hard, as if the wound on his face didn't hurt as much as it did just now.

Gu Bei followed his little brother's footsteps with one foot deep and one foot shallow. He didn't dare to stop at all, and buried himself in climbing up the mountain.

The gap between the trees was getting smaller and smaller. In an open space, a circle of trees were cut down, and there was no open space blocked by the line of sight, which appeared in front of the two little children.

A tall man in the middle, with his back to the two of them, was lying on the ground with a circle of trees at 365 degrees.

Don't look at this person's face. Even if we haven't seen each other for nearly half a year, the family's babies still recognize the identity of these people at a glance.

"Big brother!"

"Big brother!"

Two cheery cries rang out behind Gu Zheng. Even Gu Bao couldn't care to pretend to be a little adult. Holding Gu Bei, he rushed in the direction of Gu Zheng.

Hearing the sound, Gu Zheng turned and looked. Two small people were struggling to bypass the fallen trees and moved towards him.

"Gu Bao, Gu Bei! Ouch, how did you two find it?"

Before Gu Zheng's voice fell, two small dumplings jumped into Gu Zheng's arms left and right.

"Brother!"

"Big brother! Hold!"
