The days are in midsummer in a blink of an eye. Although the mountains are not that hot, the sun is very poisonous at noon.

The Qin family and Zuo Qingsong's house had been built, and now the fields were left to surround the fields. The land they bought by the two families were just close together. When they surrounded the fields, Dong Chenghu also went to help. After more than ten days of working, the group finally used up all the bricks. At this time, the fields had already surrounded the height of the adult's chest.

The rest is to build adobe walls on top. Gu Shuixiu meant to mix sulfur into the adobe, which would be safer. The Qin family and Zuo Qingsong adopted this suggestion. After the two families surrounded the fields, they immediately went into the mountains to hunt, and got a deer and a boar, and all sent to the Dong family, because they were grateful for the help of the Dong family.

Gu Shuixiu and Dong Chenghu refused to accept it.

Uncle Qin immediately became anxious, "Don't think I don't know. The number of bricks you gave is wrong. It's half more. I promised to use the price of blue bricks. Isn't you greedy for the cheaper you made by doing this? If you don't accept these deer and mountain pigs, you will look down on us!"

Uncle Qin said this so severely. Dong Chenghu had no choice but to take away these two big guys. Now in such weather, Dong Chenghu simply dealt with the deer, pulled out the deer skin and dried it. In the future, he could make deer skin boots. Shuixiu said that deer skin boots can be waterproof.

Deer antlers and deer whips can be used as the medicinal materials to be received. Gu Shuixiu treated the deer blood to soak it into deer blood medicinal wine, and the remaining venison is made into venison jerky or bacon strips.

The pig was transported to Linhai County by Dong Chenghu and sold it to the Zhang Mansion alone. After seven or eight taels of silver, the venison deer whip also bought more than ten taels of silver. The money he received was almost worth the money he had built a house with the Qin family and Zuo Qingsong.

Dong Chenghu simply took his own initiative and ordered some furniture for the two families to send it, otherwise he would feel uneasy.

When Hao saw the furniture, he was not so happy. His family had to save money from their family's money for their two sons to marry a wife. Hao didn't even plan to build furniture now, but he would do it when he got married. Dong Chenghu was now giving gifts to others.

"Shuixiu, I got nearly twenty taels of silver for selling prey this time. I customized a few step-drawing beds and matching tables, chairs and cabinets for Brother Qingsong, which is equivalent to equipping the furniture of their three houses. They only use ordinary, strong and durable wood. A total of twelve taels of silver were spent, and we left eight taels of silver."

Dong Chenghu was afraid that Gu Shuixiu would be unhappy, so he confessed his actions to the point of deciding first and then report.

Gu Shuixiu smiled when she heard this, "We have enough money for eight taels of silver, so that they feel better, and we are at ease, and we can do favors. You are now more and more aware of doing things."

Dong Chenghu received Gu Shuixiu's praise and was happy like a child who had eaten candy. He was excited for a long time before calming down.

"There is another thing that may make you unhappy if you say it, but if you don't say it, I feel uneasy again." Dong Chenghu was struggling for a long time and decided to tell Gu Shuixiu everything.

"This time I went to Linhai County and found that after one winter, there were many more refugees in the county, and many displaced people begging on the streets. The shops in the county were closed, and the restaurants were deserted.

I simply went to Zhang's house to find Butler Zhang to sell pigs. Do you know? I haven't seen him for more than half a year. Butler Zhang seems to be a teenager with more white hair on his head than our father. I was very frightened at the time, but I didn't dare to ask. Butler Zhang didn't say anything. When he saw that it was me who was selling prey, he greeted him warmly.

I asked you again why you didn’t go with me, and I said it was inconvenient for you to go out if you had a child. Butler Zhang didn’t make any trouble. He paid the money with the pig after weighing it. But before I left, he said something strange, and I still haven’t figured it out.”

Gu Shuixiu's heart sank, feeling that something was probably happening inside, and her face became a little solemn, "What did he say?"

"He said that the weather was about to change, so he should not go out in the future. He also asked me where I was going to go later. I said I would go to the medicine shop to sell medicinal materials. Butler Zhang asked which medicine shop it was and didn't say anything else. In the end, he asked a reluctant request, saying that I hope I could go to the medicine shop that sells medicine in four months, and he would leave an important thing there. If I was willing, I would take care of him for a while.

Shui Xiu, did you think something happened to Butler Zhang? Why did he speak strangely? I thought that when we first arrived in Linhai County, it was hard to refuse. Do you think I will go or not in four months?"

Gu Shuixiu no longer knows what to say now. The butler Zhang obviously came to Dong Chenghu because he foresaw that he was about to be in trouble. It’s a pity that she didn’t follow him this time, otherwise she could find out a few things.

When Dong Chenghu saw Gu Shuixiu's expression of annoyance, he felt a little panicked, "Shuixiu, if you don't want me to go, I won't go. Anyway, there are still four months left, so I'll say I'll forget it."

Gu Shuixiu frowned and shook her head, thought for a moment before slowly saying: "This butler Zhang is obviously in trouble. Since he will store important things in the pharmacy, it means that the pharmacy is reliable. We have also dealt with the pharmacy owner several times, but the boss is really a human being.

We have promised Butler Zhang to help him keep things, so we can help others to the end. It can be considered as repaying Mr. Zhang’s previous favor. Four months later, I will go to Linhai County with you. Then we will go to the pharmacy shop under the name of buying fetal pills. It will probably not arouse other people’s suspicion. We will act like this when the time comes."

Dong Chenghu didn't want Gu Shuixiu to take risks, but he agreed. Now Gu Shuixiu has said so. In order not to make Gu Shuixiu angry, Dong Chenghu had to agree to Gu Shuixiu, but his heart seemed to be filled with a big stone.

In the following days, Dong Chenghu, apart from going to the fields to serve crops every day, he went out to hunt occasionally. The rest of the time was to learn to read with Gu Shuixiu with his two children. Gu Shuixiu didn't expect them to be very good. She didn't think she could read well by writing herself, so she could only teach them to recognize words first and then invite them a gentleman later.

Dong Yunmei is grateful to Gu Shuixiu for giving so much to her child and taking good care of her family. The family is well organized, so Gu Shuixiu doesn’t even have the chance to wash dishes.

The days of cicadas and birds crowed very quickly. A cool breeze blew, and Gu Shuixiu shrank for a moment before she was dazed, and autumn had begun to begin.

She hadn't visited two valleys for a long time, and she didn't know what the livestock were like now and how the rice crops were growing?

She couldn't sit still because she was pretending to be in her heart. She immediately went out to rush into the field. It happened that Dong Chenghu had just returned from the field and asked with a puzzled look: "Shuixiu, where are you going?"
