Kong Zhiqing still tried to persuade her, "Then you should be careful. My aunt has lived here for so many years, so she is definitely not trying to scare you."

Gu Zhiqing nodded, "I know."

Xu Shuxin caught a glimpse of her father's expression from the corner of his eye, and suddenly felt curious.

Could it be that Dad guessed what Gu Lang was looking for on the mountain?
But how did he know?

Dad goes to work and off work every day. Except for interacting with Gu Lang at home, he never sees him at all other times.

What's more, judging from Gu Lang's behavior just now, he will definitely not tell his father.

So……

Did Dad see anything special on the mountain?

Xu Shuxin secretly made up her mind to go to her father to inquire about it later.

Xu Qingmu didn't know at all. He was surprised for a moment before his little girl saw it and guessed that he knew what Gu Lang was looking for.

He remembered the dream before.

In the dream, the third sister-in-law, Ma Dahua, wanted to go up the mountain to find some treasure, so she forced her to go up the mountain, and then killed her.

Could it be that Gu Lang was looking for the treasure on the mountain?

Is there really a treasure on the mountain?
Xu Qingmu only doubted it for a moment, and then stopped thinking about it.

Anyway, although he was a little excited about the treasure at first, he knew that even if it really existed, it belonged to the country and he was not qualified to take it.

So he never thought about going to the mountains to find any treasure.

Xu Shuxin made up her mind to ask her father secretly after dinner, so she didn't ask Gu Lang if he wanted to help.

Originally, she had thought that she and Grandpa Chen would also go up the mountain to collect herbs. If she knew what Gu Lang was looking for, she could help him look for it.

Since it was not convenient for the other party to say it, it was better for her not to ask.

As for her going up the mountain, Cui Lanhua knew that she couldn't stop her, so she simply didn't stop her. She just told her to be careful.

"Mom, don't worry. There are no jackals, tigers, leopards, or black bears on our mountain. The most dangerous ones are wild boars and poisonous snakes and insects. Grandpa Chen can prepare medicine. We go up the mountain with the medicine bag. Those poisonous snakes and insects don't dare to approach us at all. If we encounter wild boar, we won’t be afraid anymore, we can still eat wild boar.”

Seeing that Xu Shuxin was not afraid at all, and even looked forward to meeting the wild boar, Cui Lanhua was speechless.

She looked at the child's father: You say it.

Xu Qingmu received his wife's eyes: "..."

He cleared his throat, and then began to pretend to educate the bold little girl, "Your mother is worried about you, but you should also be careful and don't act recklessly based on your own strength. Are those wild boars easy to deal with? Adults Wild boar tusks are very sharp. No matter how strong you are, if a wild boar kills you, if there is a group of wild boars, can you beat them?"

Xu Shuxin nodded honestly, "Dad, you are right to remind me. It seems that the powder we prepared to prevent snakes and insects is not enough. We need to prepare some poison. If we encounter a wild boar, just sprinkle the poison on it and the wild boar will be unconscious. This is not necessary. Spend your energy fighting the wild boar.”

Xu Qingmu and others: "..."

Can you do this?

Is Mr. Chen so powerful?Can you even make this kind of medicine?
Gu Lang's eyes lit up and he asked her, "Xinxin, can you really make a drug with such powerful effects? I thought drugs only existed in story books!"

Xu Shuxin nodded, "Of course, the things left by our ancestors are very powerful. As for most people thinking that they are fake, that is because they have been passed down for thousands of years and many things have been lost, or the people who inherited them later have various reasons. For this reason, the essence has not been learned, so everyone thinks that it was all made up by the ancients. In fact, there is nothing so powerful and mysterious at all." "Can you give me some? I will buy it from you, and Then give me some anti-snake and insect powder." Gu Lang looked at Xu Shuxin expectantly.

Xu Shuxin readily agreed, "No problem, I'll give you a share. As for the money, I don't need it. We are already so familiar with each other."

Gu Lang smiled and said: "Okay, then I'll be cheeky and ask for it."

He thought to himself that he would give more good things to the Xu family in the future. After all, she and Mr. Chen worked hard to make those medicines. How could he have the nerve to ask for them for free?

He sighed again, "I wish I had known Mr. Chen had such abilities earlier."

In this way, he would be able to seek medicine earlier, and he would not have to suffer so much in vain.

No, he can't suffer so much in vain. When he finds something, he must make a good deal with Uncle Tang and get more benefits from Uncle Tang!
After dinner, Xu Qingmu went to wash the dishes. Cui Lanhua wanted to follow, but Xu Shuxin called from behind, "Mom, please help me see what kind of clothes I should wear to go up the mountain tomorrow."

Cui Lanhua paused in her steps, "Just find some older clothes to wear, and I want my mother to help you find them."

Even though she said this, her body still walked towards their sisters' room sincerely.

Xu Qingmu also smiled and said to Cui Lanhua, "Go and help the child find it. I'll be fine here."

Gu Lang stood up and said, "Uncle, let me help you."

"Cousin Gu doesn't need you, just sit down." Xu Shuxin said.

Xu Qingmu also advised him, "Yeah, you're not needed here, it's just a few bowls, I'll be quick."

Cui Lanhua entered sister Xu Shuxin's room. Xu Shuxin followed her, but did not go in. She just stood at the door of the room and looked inside and said, "Mom, you need a longer one, otherwise it will be easy to get caught in the branches when going up the mountain."

Cui Lanhua looked at her with a look of helplessness on her face, "Mom knows."

Xu Shuxin retracted her head and looked at the sisters who were talking to Kong Zhiqing and others. Gu Lang was also talking with Zhao Dashan. She left the main room and went to the well.

Xu Qingmu has soaked all the dishes and chopsticks in a wooden basin specially designed for washing dishes. He also put in the dishwashing detergent Xu Shuxin made, and there was a layer of bubbles on the water.

Xu Qingmu heard the footsteps, and while finishing brushing his hair with a loofah, he asked her, "Why are you here? Aren't you playing with your sisters?"

Xu Shuxin walked to Xu Qingmu and squatted down.

Xu Qingmu thought she was here to help and said, "Don't move. Just come."

Xu Shuxin didn't take action, but she didn't leave either.

She whispered: "Dad, do you know what Cousin Gu is looking for in the mountain?"

Xu Qingmu's hands washing the dishes paused, and then quickly returned to normal.

Although it was only for a moment, Xu Shuxin's sharp eyes still saw it.

Xu Qingmu: "Why are you asking this? Didn't Gu Zhiqing say it's not convenient to talk about it? Don't ask about your child's family, and how would dad know about it? What are you kiddo thinking about!"

Xu Shuxin rolled her eyes: Dad, do you think I believe you?
"Dad, I'm just curious! And don't lie to me, I just saw it at the dinner table."

"What did you see?"
