Chapter 35 To be honest, we don’t agree

Maybe it was because Pei Xuan mentioned them before that Lingxi suddenly dreamed of people.

But it would be better not to dream at all!
She was so angry!

Gu Si looked at her with both pity and amusement. He slowly straightened Lingxi's hair which was tangled from sleeping. The little girl obediently let him do what he wanted.

Lingxi is like this because of a dream. Ultimately, it’s because she cares!

"It's okay. We'll get back our anger when he comes back." Gu Si coaxed her.

Hey, is this still possible?
The little girl had just woken up and her mind was a little confused. She looked at Gu Si in confusion.

Gu Si's heart softened, he nodded seriously, and then diverted her attention, "Haven't you always wanted to go into the mountains? I have some things stored in the mountains, I'll give them all to you, okay?"

Lingxi's eyes lit up, and she no longer cared about the dream that might have been unfounded.

"Fourth brother, you have to take me into the mountains!"

Lingxi felt very sorry that she couldn't go into the mountains with Pei Yu, Pei Xuan and the others last time, but she can go into the mountains at any time. There is only one fourth brother, and even if Lingxi is asked to choose again, she will still stay at home and wait for Gu Si.

But this time...

Lingxi's eyes were sparkling and full of anticipation.

"Yes, I'll take you in."

Gu Si found it funny. Looking at the little girl who got a positive answer, he cheered, jumped off the kang to wash up, and the smile in his eyes became more and more intense.

Before he showed up in front of Lingxi, he had seen her several times, looking eagerly into the mountains, but he didn't dare to take another step towards that side.

Well behaved and fun.

The place that Gu Si wanted to go was a valley between two mountains.

This is Lingxi's first time entering the mountains. It's okay to stay at the outskirts, but the deeper you go, the more good things you can see.

Wild vegetables and mushrooms were everywhere. Lingxi saw two ginseng and ganoderma lucidum, but they were not very old. Lingxi was sitting on Gu Si's arms, being carried on the journey, so she did not ask Gu Si to stop and waste time.

The two of them traveled through the mountains and forests, and in just over half an hour, they reached their destination.

Gu Si placed Lingxi in front of a mountain wall, on which grew some short trees, shrubs, weeds and mosses, with a few vines hanging down occasionally.

The ground under my feet is flat and the grass is green.

Not far away, a waterfall rushes down and falls into a pool. The thin mist splashing up reflects colorful light under the sunlight.

The overflowing water in the pool meanders out and merges into a lake on the other side of the valley. Occasionally, a breeze blows by, bringing with it the scent of fruits and flowers.

Lingxi's eyes lit up.

This is a great place.

This place used to be Gu Si's property. Hundreds of years ago, Gu Si lived in seclusion here for a few years. He opened up a medicinal garden, an orchard, and a vegetable garden to grow melons and vegetables.

Reborn as Gu Qingbei, he confirmed his geographical location after waking up. He thought of the mountains that were once under his name and remembered the places where he had lived in seclusion before.

He followed his memory and found it.

Back then, the entrance to the valley was arranged with some formations of the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams. People who were not familiar with this could usually just walk around the entrance and find their way out.

However, when he came back, the formation at the entrance of the valley had been damaged due to disrepair.

There were only a few hundreds-year-old ginseng left in the medicine garden, the fruits in his orchard had been picked, and even the cave where he lived in seclusion had been emptied.

Gu Si did not tell Lingxi about this bad thing, but introduced it to Lingxi: "This valley covers an area of ​​more than 100 acres. There used to be a medicinal garden and an orchard, and there are also many fish, shrimps and crabs in the lake.

It’s quite abandoned now, but I tidied it up last year. There are still some old herbs in the herb garden, the fruit trees in the orchard are still bearing fruit, and fish, shrimps and crabs can still be caught.”

He rubbed Lingxi's head and said, "Let's go up and rest for a while, and then we can get some to take home."

Lingxi nodded. Gu Si had already taken Lingxi a few steps towards the mountain wall. He pulled a hanging vine and looked at Lingxi with a smile: "Hold on." Before she could react, her waist suddenly tightened, and when she came to her senses, she had been brought to a stone platform on the mountain wall.

Lingxi: “…”

!!!

Is the speed so fast?
This must be at least three or four meters from the ground!

The stone platform is quite large. Along the edge of the platform, there are several bushes and short trees serving as a shelter. There are also some hay and firewood drying on the platform.

Gu Si pushed away the huge rock blocking the entrance of the cave, and there was a locked wooden door inside.

Lingxi and Gu Si entered the cave, and found a different world inside. A beam of light shone down from the middle of the cave, making it bright inside.

The cave must have been specially repaired. There are places for lamps and torches around it. Judging from the traces, it should have been there for hundreds of years.

There are small caves inside the cave.

One is a bedroom, one is a warehouse, and one is a kitchen.

Lingxi was taken by Gu Si on a tour inside. In addition to the stone tables, stone benches, and stone cabinets with ancient and exquisite carved patterns, the hall also had a lot of wooden and bamboo furniture.

There are desks, chaise longues and lounge chairs.

There was a large wooden bed in the bedroom, which was blocked by a screen outside. On the walls of the warehouse, strings of bacon and dried chicken, duck and fish were strung together with hemp ropes. The shelves against the wall were filled with some grains, mountain products and processed medicinal materials.

There are two large iron pots in the kitchen. From the traces of fire underneath, you can tell that Gu Si often cooks here.

Lingxi was very curious: "Brother, did you add this later, or was it already there?"

Gu Si: “…”

"It was added later."

I don’t know who moved it away.

The entire set he originally had was made of the finest huanghuali material, the same stone as the stone table. Maybe people thought it was too heavy and didn't move it away, so it's still the original one.

Gu Si was a little depressed.

Gu Si and Lingxi did not stay in the mountains for long. They put the bacon in the cave into Lingxi's space, collected the ripe fruits in the orchard, and caught a few fish before heading back.

When they arrived at the village, it was a little late and the villagers had already finished work. As luck would have it, Lingxi and Gu Si met Uncle Pei, Pei Jin, Pei Xuan and others.

Everyone looked at each other, but Gu Si was the first to react: "Second uncle, eldest brother, third brother."

He greeted her, without any compulsion.

Pei Xuan had an expression that said let him say it, then turned around and glared at his own sister, then walked forward and dragged Lingxi home first.

Lingxi: “…”

Lingxi turned around subconsciously and saw her fourth brother giving her a soothing look, so she retracted her gaze.

Seeing all this, Second Uncle Pei, Pei Jin, and Pei Xuan: "..."

Uncle Pei held his forehead with his hand and said helplessly: "Old Four, right? Let's go back and have a drink together?"

Gu Si nodded: "Okay, it's the younger generation's turn to take the initiative to visit."

Lingxi was raised by Uncle Pei. Although he is her second uncle, it is actually right to treat him as her father-in-law.

Uncle Pei smiled gently.

The group walked back, and Uncle Pei and Gu Si didn't beat around the bush. He told the truth: "At first, when we heard that Lingxi was looking for you, we disagreed."
