Chapter 5 The Light at the Bottom of the Valley

Scholars are suspicious, sensitive, and can easily devote themselves to a plot they fabricated and perfectly display their acting skills in this plot. Simply put, scholars are pretentious.

It doesn't matter, it's normal to beat it up.

Gu Qing is a person who is not patient, and he will not coax him whether to men or women. In his opinion, "coaxing people" is actually based on lies and is a verbal fraud, just like a scumbag's vows. Secondly, coaxing people causes unequal status between the two parties, one is fearless, the other is compromised, and the other is compromised, making others wronged and wronged himself. Gu Qing is never willing to do such stupid things as stupid things like this.

Facts have proved that using fists to treat pretentious diseases is very effective. Song Gensheng covered various pain points in his body and limped to lead Gu Qing to the stone pond, sprinkling barbell-like yelling and crying.

The pain was cheerful and there was no pretentious element.

The water in Shitan is very shallow, about the same as the knees. The two of them don’t bring tools, but Song Gensheng is a child who grew up in the village and is still very skilled in catching fish.

The two of them surrounded a shallow water with stones beside the stone pond, and made a hole in the direction of the pond water. Then they slowly surrounded the hole from two different directions. After time and time, there were indeed a few small fish, crabs and shrimps in the shallow water.

Song Gensheng picked up some smaller fish and shrimps in his hands and released them back to the stone pond, leaving all the larger ones.

Gu Qing kept watching his movements quietly, feeling a little moved.

The gifts given to mankind by nature have been taught to give back to nature. Ancient people understand this truth better than modern people.

Song Gensheng skillfully used the weeds on the roadside to make ropes, picked a handful of wild vegetables on the hillside near the stone pond, and skewed fish, shrimps, crabs and wild vegetables to Gu Qing.

"Give it all to me? Are you not half of it?" Gu Qing felt a little embarrassed.

Song Gensheng looked up at the sky and sighed quietly: "I gave it to you all, I thank you for your grace of not killing today."

Gu Qing said seriously: "I am not a person who repays kindness."

宋根生倒吸一口凉气,脸色时红时青,在“爆发揍不过”和“不爆发憋着伤身”之间挣扎,又怂又刚的样子像极了爱情.

The two walked into the village and remained silent for a long time.

Gu Qing suddenly said, "Gensheng, I just said that I forgot many people and things, and I was not lying to you."

Song Gensheng hesitated for a moment and said, "I believe in you."

"Also, I won't kill you. In the afternoon, I just flashed this thought through the mountain, and I still feel guilty."

Song Gensheng was stunned for a moment, and finally smiled relievedly: "You have changed a lot in the past two days, and I almost don't know you."

Gu Qing also laughed: "The changes are indeed great. If others bully me again, I will never swallow my anger. If others bully you, I will not swallow my anger."

Song Gensheng pondered for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Is the 'coal' you mentioned really important?"

Gu Qing thought for a while and said, "It's very important, but I haven't figured out what to do with it."

Song Gensheng looked at him worriedly: "Don't use it to smelify iron, you will be punished."

Gu Qing smiled and said, "No, I don't have the courage to challenge the king's law."

After a pause, Gu Qing said again: "The pit where the coal was found was filled, but I still hope you can keep it confidential. Don't tell anyone, including your father, is it okay?"

Song Gensheng swears to the sky: "I won't even say anything if I beat you to death."

The swearing looked too much like a scumbag, Gu Qing was immediately a little worried and looked at him steadily.

Song Gensheng said uneasyly: "Don't you believe me?"

"To be honest, don't believe it."

Song Gensheng was anxious: "I am not a person without trust, how can you believe it?"

"I only believe in dead people."

Song Gensheng: “…………”

Gu Qing suddenly patted his shoulder and smiled and said, "I scared you, don't take it seriously. You are more like a dead person among living people."

…………

Gu Qing was in a happy mood when he returned home.

Today I can finally eat meat. I feel happy when I think about it. There is a hint of sadness in happiness, and a bit of worry about the future is mixed in my sadness. After all, I don’t know where the meat will be tomorrow.

He has to be careful when living his life. Gu Qing is a very insecure person. He is used to the fact that his home is filled with various daily necessities, whether it is enough or not.

The biggest inconvenience now is that there are too few daily necessities at home. There is no iron pot at home, there is only a broken clay pot for cooking and a pottery bowl. There is even less seasoning for cooking. Gu Qing searched through the whole house and found only a small piece of coarse salt. There was nothing else, not even oil.

I can't believe what kind of life my predecessor lived. Could it be that he only ate rice every day and didn't need anything else? No wonder he has thin arms and legs, and looks malnourished. Ding Erlang's kind can hurt himself.

Gu Qing wanted to make a braised fish dish for himself, but he had no tools. After thinking about it, he had to decide to make a simple version of fish soup.

Put half a jar of clean water, put the fish and shrimp in water and simmer slowly. After the water boils, put a handful of wild vegetables picked in the mountains and forests during the day, and a little coarse salt. Stir gently in the bamboo chopsticks, and soon the pot of fresh fragrance radiates.

Gu Qing's nose twitched and sighed with satisfaction.

Falling into the lowest point of life, a bowl of hot fish soup is a ray of light in the dark valley.

Putting a bowl of soup, Gu Qing held the pottery bowl in both hands, carefully put it to the edge of the bowl and sipped the soup gently. The delicious taste exploded in the tongue buds and flowed into the abdomen, warming a lonely heart.

Gu Qing smacked his lips and added half a bowl of rice to himself. The fish soup was soaked in the rice. He ate very slowly. Every bite of soup and every grain of rice had to be chewed carefully in his mouth and swallowed reluctantly.

The food crisis is near, and now he really eats one bite less, so he cherishes every bite of food he puts into his mouth very much.

No matter how slowly he chewed, he still finished half a bowl of rice. His stomach was less than three minutes full. Gu Qing picked up the pottery jar and took out the fish and shrimps inside to eat. He still ate very slowly. He couldn't bear to spit out the fish bones and shrimp skins, so he chewed them and swallowed them.

It is August now, and it is the hot summer season. There is no refrigerator this year, and the food you make must be finished on the same day. Gu Qing thus saved the psychological struggle and quickly ate the fish soup.

My stomach is still not full, but... I can only do this. I have food stored at home, but I must have strict plans, because Gu Qing is not sure when he can earn money or food from other channels.

After dinner, Gu Qing washed the pottery jars and bowls, then sat on the threshold and held his chin and looked at the stars and moon in the night sky.

It is said that after eating and drinking, people will become mentally exhausted and easily become confused about people, but they only eat less than three points of fullness, and they are actually confused at this moment.

In his previous life, he was so lonely in an orphanage now. People who are sad about spring and autumn always like to compare themselves to meteors, crossing the dark night sky, leaving a fleeting long mark. What about Gu Qing? What kind of marks has he left after just thirty years of life?

He came out of the orphanage without anything, studied, worked, and promoted. Later, he achieved achievements, subordinates, and a group of young people who expanded his territory for him. The entire team took him as his soul and faithfully and thoroughly executed his will. The world just gave him a hint of warmth, and in a flash he pushed him into the ice cave.

Come to this strange world, what will you do next?

Gu Qing was very confused. He knew nothing about the world. If he lived just for food and clothing, he felt unwilling to accept it. If he went out to do something about the imperial map, he felt very secondary.

If he had such extraordinary experiences, he was destined not to be mediocre. Perhaps the waves of the times would push him to a higher level. At that time, he could not help but stand at the peak of the world, looking down at all living beings with a lonely face as cold as snow, and his mind was filled with the vicissitudes of "What if he lost her, what if he won the world."

Tsk, I got goosebumps...

In short, live well. How fate teases him is fate. If you are lucky in this life, I hope you can live the way you want.

In the hot summer, the night is not as hot as you imagined. The mountain village is very cool, and the night breeze blows, and there is even a hint of chill.

Gu Qing sat on the threshold and looked back at his dilapidated home. Looking at the outrageous decorations and the dilapidated bed and tables at his home, he suddenly decided to set a small goal for himself.

Let’s solve the food crisis first, and then enrich the home. It would be even better if you could build a new house, add new furniture, complete all kinds of daily necessities, and make a few suitable clothes.

As for marrying a wife and having babies...

Is the meat not delicious? Is it not delicious to live in a big house? Is it unhappy to dig a hole and bury people?

What do you want to do with your wife?
