Gu Qing squatted by the mountain road at the entrance of the village, yawning and watching the ants move in boredom. He held a small shovel in his hand and waited patiently for the ants to dig up their homes after they had moved and capture a fat and white one alive.

Ant Queen.

Doing anything when you are bored is just to pass the boring time without any purpose. The goal Gu Qing set for himself today is to capture the Ant Queen alive in the whole morning. If he has not captured it by noon, he will call him passerby.

The villagers brought him food until he captured the ant queen.

Then I can take a nice nap in the afternoon, sleep until dusk, then go to the porcelain kiln on the mountain for a walk, pretend to point out the landscape and hum a few words, and go down the mountain to prepare dinner when it gets dark. If Zhang Huaiyu is there, I can make it after dinner.

Order barbecue and drink some wine with her, talk about the world until the willow trees above the moon, and then go to Song Gensheng's house to sleep yawning. It would be even more beautiful if Zhang Huaiyu disappeared mysteriously again. After eating, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

Dawn.

It was a pig-like life, but Gu Qing felt very happy. His previous life was too hurried, and until his death, he never felt that he had gained anything other than being busy and making money. He had no love, friendship, or family ties, and he lived alone with money.

, the problem is that I don’t earn enough money, neither can I spend a lot of money, nor can I buy a luxury car or a mansion. I have been living in a make-or-break situation for more than thirty years, like an inconspicuous migratory bird flying through the sky without leaving any trace.

In this life, Gu Qing does not want to repeat the life he had in his previous life.

You have to make money, but you can't get into money. You have to make friends, but you can't make too many. Socializing and favoring people is too troublesome. God allowed him to travel through this strange world and gave him a chance to live again. He must have a deep meaning.

. Perhaps the sky in this life will leave a trace of him that will last for thousands of years.

As for love, there is no need for this.

Spreading his hands, Gu Qing showed an ethereal smile. I have a wife and a concubine. What do you want for love? Do you want to marry a wife who snatches the quilt from me in the middle of the night?

…………

The worker ants had already moved some tiny pieces of food into a small hole one after another. Gu Qing braced himself and stared at the small hole. After they finished moving, Gu Qing planned to raid the house and exterminate the family, teaching them what it means to have disaster fall from the sky and what it means.

a bolt from the blue.

A pair of square-toed cloth boots with a rather luxurious texture appeared in front of Gu Qing's eyes. Fortunately, he happened to step on the hole. The ants fled in panic, and all the results of the whole morning's hard work were destroyed.

Gu Qing was furious and looked up. A middle-aged man wearing a silk shirt was looking at him with a smile.

"Young gentleman, are you from Shiqiao Village? Can I ask you about someone?" the middle-aged man said politely.

Gu Qing threw away the small shovel in his hand, stood up, patted the dust on his butt, and looked at the group of people again.

The middle-aged man should be the leader. The scribe who is half a shoulder behind and has a respectful look on his face should be the follower. As for the dozen or so people in ordinary clothes but with strong physiques behind him, they should be the followers and guards at a lower level than the follower.

"Who are you asking about?" Gu Qing was a little short-tempered, and the whole morning of confiscation of homes and genocide was all in vain.

"Is there a young man named Song Gensheng in your village?" The middle-aged man gestured and said: "Probably a little shorter than me, a little thinner, sixteen or seventeen years old..."

The middle-aged man has a good memory. He only took a few glances at Song Gensheng in the restaurant yesterday and remembered his features.

Gu Qing suddenly realized that he had thought that Song Gensheng's inscription in the county town yesterday was effective, and soon there would be scholars who came here to visit him.

Then Gu Qing felt strange. It was a good thing for a scholar to come to visit, but why did you bring a group of tall and powerful guards here? It didn't look like you were making friends with scholars. Instead, you looked like someone who came to collect debts by throwing paint on your door.

So Gu Qing immediately became alert. Although he didn't know what purpose they had in looking for Song Gensheng, it would never go wrong to plan ahead. Don't be too honest until the situation is clear. Just answer whatever others ask. Only a fool like Song Gensheng would do this.

.

Gu Qing immediately said without hesitation: "I know this person."

The middle-aged man said happily: "Can you please tell me where his residence is located?"

Gu Qing blinked and suddenly raised his arm and pointed straight ahead.

Directly in front is a mountain, which is the highest and deepest mountain around Shiqiao Village.

"Song Gensheng has gone into the mountains to collect herbs. Several distinguished guests can go to the mountains to find him. He has just entered the mountains not long ago. If you walk faster, you should be able to catch up with him." Gu Qing said without changing his expression.

The middle-aged man was stunned: "Collecting medicine? Isn't he a scholar?"

"His family has been practicing medicine for generations, so he often goes into the mountains with his father to collect medicine, and he only studies in his spare time." Gu Qing said half truthfully.

"Medical books have been passed down from family to family, no wonder this son has such a humble and extraordinary demeanor," the middle-aged man suddenly realized, looked at Gu Qing with a smile, and said: "I haven't asked the young man about his name yet. I see that you are neither humble nor arrogant, and you have an extraordinary demeanor. I haven't even entered the village yet."

Seeing these two handsome people, this Shiqiao Village is really a place of beautiful mountains and rivers."

Gu Qing didn't blink and blurted out: "My surname is Ding and my name is Dalang."

The middle-aged man laughed: "The name is, uh, simple and unpretentious. Not bad."

After speaking, the middle-aged man turned around and looked at the mountain, hesitating for a moment.

The waiter next to him had a bitter look on his face, but he didn't dare to say anything. After all, he was not the one in charge in this group of people.

It was still early in the day, and I finally arrived at Shiqiao Village. If I went back without finding anything, I would be unwilling to accept it. If I waited for him in the village, I didn't know when the father and son would return home from collecting herbs.

After thinking about it, the middle-aged man gritted his teeth and said solemnly: "When we speed up our journey to catch up with Song Gensheng, we can't make this trip in vain."

After saying this, the middle-aged man asked Gu Qing about the way into the mountain and said goodbye to Gu Qing with a smile.

Gu Qing stood at the entrance of the village, watching the group of people disappear into the lush mountain forest, then slowly turned around and murmured: "Are people in this era so simple? He will believe whatever others say. If I

Go to the county town to engage in a fraud activity called 'The 10th anniversary of the establishment of Shiqiao Group, congratulations on winning the first prize', maybe you can make a fortune..."

It was a bit unbearable for a bad person who still had a conscience to deceive an honest person. Gu Qing hesitated for a long time, and finally gave up the idea of ​​engaging in fraud with regret.

The ants couldn't see the move anymore, so Gu Qing sighed and walked back.

I went back to find Song Gensheng and persuaded him to hide in the porcelain kiln, so that if these people were really evil, they could escape.

As for whether the group of people would cause trouble for him after going down the mountain, Gu Qing said he was not worried.

Now he is the soul of the entire village. The villagers will not just watch him being bullied by outsiders. Besides, there is a chivalrous woman in white clothes who wins the snow. After feeding her so many fish, it is not too much to kill ten of them.

Bar?

…………

Wandering in the mountains until the afternoon, the middle-aged man and his party were tired and hungry, and were in a dilemma.

It's not that they don't want to leave the mountain, but... they are lost.

This mountain is high and deep. Once you enter, the woods inside are like a Bagua enchantment array. Moreover, few people enter the mountain. There is no road. It is up to the guards to cut down trees to clear the way while staggering forward. During the process, they also killed a wild boar and

A few snakes, when they felt regretful and wanted to go back, they no longer remembered the way back.

The middle-aged man had never been so embarrassed as he was today. It was almost evening, but they still couldn't find their way out.

"Heaven is going to kill me!" The middle-aged man raised his head and sighed sadly.

The guest of the curtain was breathing heavily, his clothes were torn and torn by branches, and he was bent over in exhaustion, with his arms held up by the attendants.

"Jie Shuai, Wan Sheng is thinking about it now... I'm afraid that young man named Ding Dalang is not a kind person." The curtain trembled, and he said sadly and angrily: "Wan Sheng always feels that he has been deceived."

The middle-aged man was silent for a while and sighed: "I never thought that there would be such a cunning and cunning person in this simple and honest mountain village..."

When I was in Chang'an, I interacted with so many loyal and treacherous ministers, and I was able to manipulate both sides with ease. I could pretend to be upright and sell myself cutely, and my official career had been going smoothly. I didn't expect that I would stumble in this small mountain village.

The main reason was that he didn't expect that the boy named Ding Dalang was so bad and gave directions without any grudge. The middle-aged man reflected for a long time and felt that he was too kind after all. If he was a little crueler, he would force the young man to go up the mountain and let him go.

If you lead the way, your group will not get lost.

Looking up and looking around, the middle-aged man lamented: "What should I do if I enter this cage today..."

The guest tried to calm down and think for a moment, then said: "If you want to escape from this cage and find a way out of the mountain, I have only one plan, I don't know if it is possible..."

The middle-aged man said happily: "Come quickly."
Chapter completed!
