Chapter 144 Found the residential address
Gu Hua led his people to find a place to live. When they passed through the mountains, they also hunted some wild game for a snack.

They ran from East Mountain to West Mountain and from North Mountain to South Mountain, and basically searched every inch of the land, but still couldn't find a suitable address.

The game they brought home to roast or cook no longer smelled good. They all looked listless, their feelings of loss were evident in their words, and they walked limply, without any energy.

Gu Hua also felt a little discouraged after searching for a few days.

"No wonder people say this place is poor and has bad water." Gu Chen said sadly, "There is not even a suitable place to live here. There is no flat land around to cultivate and grow crops. It is simply a fantasy to expect to have enough food and clothing here."

"Stop talking, Brother Chen." Thinking of the miserable life here in the future, Chen Ze trembled, "Leave us some beautiful hope and fantasy."

Gu Hua patted his shoulder and said sincerely: "Fantasy is beautiful, but reality is cruel. My little cousin, accept the test that real life has for you."

"Hahaha--"

The depressed atmosphere became relaxed as a few people joked around.

When Gu Hua passed by the woods where their ox cart had passed that day and saw the terrain here, he suddenly, "Pa!" slapped his forehead hard and said in annoyance: "I am such a fool."

Gu Chen complained: "You are quite stupid. How can you hit yourself so hard?"

The others were also confused by Gu Hua's sudden words, and they all looked at her in confusion.

Gu Hua, with clear eyes and a smile on his face, pointed to a path that went around the woods and passed through a dry riverbed. He then pointed to a flat forest and the direction leading to the outside of the mountain.

With her guidance, the smart people quickly understood why she suddenly became happy.

Sun Haihui worked in the Ministry of Industry before he was exiled. He looked in the direction Gu Hua pointed and said happily, "Good, good terrain!"

"What good terrain?" There are those who understand it and those who don't. Chen Ze, who used to only know how to eat, drink and have fun, is one of those who doesn't understand it, so he asked curiously.

Seeing his stupid brother's confused look, Chen Ling explained: "What will be stored in the dried-up river that my cousin is referring to if the drought is over?"

"Water." Chen Ze answered without hesitation.

Chen Ling asked, as if guiding a child to think: "If we cut down the trees in this forest, what will the terrain be like?"

"It will become flat..." Chen Ze suddenly reacted and exclaimed: "This place is quite far from the mountain. When there is water in the creek and the trees are cut down, the land will be flat. Isn't this the place we have been looking for to live?!"

"Ahhhhh..." Those who were still a little confused just now also reacted. Why was the leader Gu Hua standing there pointing here and there with such excitement? Now that they understood, they were even more excited than Gu Hua.

Gu Hua pointed in the direction leading out of the mountain and added, "If we choose to build a house here, we can just use stones to pave a path there, and it will be much more convenient to go in and out in the future."

"Hua'er is right. If we build a road there, it will be very convenient to go anywhere in the future." Uncle Chen walked back and forth, looked at the surroundings, and agreed very much with what Gu Hua said.

Gu Hua took everyone to look around carefully again. This place was indeed very suitable for living. It was even flatter than the current address of Laoshan Village, with convenient transportation, and a good environment with mountains and water around it.

Sun Chengfeng looked at Gu Hua happily and praised: "It is still the head of the Gu family who has a sharp eye, otherwise we would have missed such a good place to live." Gu Hua smiled without being arrogant or modest, and said realistically: "It's not that they are not sharp, but they didn't think of cutting down these trees to build a place to live."

After finding a suitable place for everyone to build houses and live in, Gu Hua told everyone to go back and keep quiet. Everyone understood what she meant immediately. It was not because they were afraid that someone would occupy the place again, but because they did not want to waste time talking to those people before they started construction.

When Gu Hua and the others came back after concealing their joy, Dongmei ran over and vividly recounted how Wang Hanyou and Gu Jitang and others were beaten on the other side.

"It's really shameful." Gu Jiqing frowned and said, "My third uncle is dead. How could Gu Jitang and his group of people from the Gu family do such a thing as being beaten up for failing to get what they want?"

Gu Jikun stepped forward and patted his cousin on the shoulder, his face not looking good, “Now that we have arrived at the place of exile, everyone should live their own lives.

They have to bear the consequences of their own shameful actions, and you should not be too angry just because you are from the same tribe as them."

But thinking of something, Gu Jikun walked up to Gu Hua and called several other clansmen with the surname Gu over. He looked at Gu Hua seriously and sincerely and said, "Gu Hua, Third Uncle, the head of the Gu family, has been dragged away by Gu Jitang's beastly son to block the knife and die.

Now he has done such a shameful thing again. I feel ashamed for being of the same clan as them.

I would like to propose that we establish a new clan here and compile a new family tree to continue our descendants. Will you be the new patriarch of our clan?"

Gu Hua paused, frowned slightly, and looked up at the Gu family members who were there. They were all looking at her expectantly.

Gu Hua, who didn't want to be the clan leader, was about to say that since they were all exiled, it would be enough for each family to live their own lives, and there was really no need to set up a clan.

But it is obvious that those members of the Gu family who value their family very much think differently from Gu Hua. They believe that people without a clan are like rootless duckweed, with no sense of belonging.

"I agree." Gu Chen responded positively and agreed.

"We agree that Gu Hua will be the patriarch of our new clan." Several other families also expressed their wishes.

Uncle Chen was reluctant to get involved as it was Gu family affairs, so he took his two sons and followed Sun Chengfeng and the others to the resting place. They worked as they should and rested as they should. They were very sensible and did not interfere with the affairs here.

"I don't agree." Everyone looked in the direction where the opposing voices came from, and saw Miao walking towards them with a basket of wild vegetables in her arms, looking resentful.

He looked at Gu Hua unkindly, "I have no objection to starting a new clan, but how can a woman like Gu Hua be the clan leader?"

Miao glanced at Uncle Gu and Gu Chen. Even a blind person could understand what she meant. Besides, everyone was clear-eyed and clear-minded.

"Mom, we all agree that my cousin should be the new clan leader, so please don't interfere too much."

Miao was about to object, but was forcibly pulled away by the good-tempered Gu Jiqing, who lowered his voice and said, "We have already let Hua'er down for what happened last time. If you continue to cause trouble and prevent her from becoming the clan leader, I will divorce you."

Just when Gu Hua was about to be pushed forward by Gu Jikun and others to become the new clan leader, someone else jumped out and expressed his disapproval.
