I survive in the weird Liaozhai

Chapter 117 Arrangement

The green mountains are hazy, the clouds are misty, and from a distance, there is a momentum of clouds and water leaping between the ups and downs, like a few strokes of light ink, and the artistic conception jumps on the paper.

Although this place is not a fairy mountain, the misty clouds on the top of the peak also have a unique flavor.

At this time, Gu Nian'an stood on the top of the mountain and looked at the beautiful scenery like a painting, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

"Taiyue Peak" is the name of the mountain here.

The seventh highest peak in Qingzhou, it is steep and majestic, with the main peak reaching into the sky and misty on the top of the mountain. It is a holy place where many literati and poets linger.

"bump"

The long spear in his hand struck the ground, leaving cracks on the ground.

Gu Nian'an squatted down and picked up a piece of gravel to examine it. It was genuine granite.

This may be a bit tricky to handle.

But it was not a big problem. As long as he had all the tools, it would not be too difficult to dig out a pool of several meters square. Moreover, it did not require him to spend much effort.

The rest still needs to wait for an opportunity. Now it is not far from the vernal equinox. I think the first thunder of this spring will be particularly loud.

Alas! With his personality, he would not easily try such a risky thing.

But time waits for no one. I still have too many things to do and too many troubles to solve. Without sufficient strength, everything will be empty talk.

Gently waving his hand to clear away the clouds in front of him, Gu Nian'an looked at the top of the mountain shrouded in clouds with a somewhat dim look in his eyes.

One's own destiny is like this peak, shrouded in fog all year round, illusory and illusory, and it is impossible to see the way forward clearly.

He has never had any desire to dominate, and he would be able to accept it if he could live peacefully in Xiaoqingfeng for the rest of his life.

But he didn't understand why things turned out like this.

"Struggle, fight, calculate,"

It’s so tiring to live like this, and I don’t know when it will end.

"call"

He let out a long breath, suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind, turned around and walked down the mountain.

He is not a sentimental person. He can be sentimental for a moment, but being negative will not solve the problem.

At night, in the backyard room of the Jiang residence, Gu Nian'an sat at the desk and wrote furiously.

At this time, the desk was filled with used papers. The white papers were filled with words, and many of them had graphic annotations.

After finishing the last stroke, Gu Nian'an put down the brush in his hand, then sorted out all the papers and looked at them carefully again.

He worked until late at night before finally finishing the check. After making sure there were no omissions in what he had written, Gu Nian'an returned to bed and began to meditate.

In the days to come, you need to keep your body in the best condition at all times. Once the time comes, you have to start gamble your life.

When Gu Nian'an opened the door early in the morning, the little children in the yard had already started picking up their guns.

A girl on one side of the courtyard was placing food on the table.

Gu Nian'an walked up and touched the child's head. "Good morning, Xiaowei."

"Good morning, Master Gu."

Putting down the spear in his hand, the child took his hand and led him to the stone table.

"Master Gu, let's finish breakfast first and then practice martial arts."

Following the child to the stone table, Gu Nian'an bowed to the busy girl and said, "Excuse me, Miss Shen. Let's sit down and eat together."

"Um"

After responding softly, Shen Qiuxue lowered her head and sat next to the child.

The three of them finished their breakfast together.

Gu Nian'an put down his chopsticks and said to the child in front of him

"Xiao Wei, I won't be able to practice martial arts with you in the next few days. I have something important to do in a few days, so I may need to be busy for a while."

The child's eyes dimmed a little after hearing this, but he nodded obediently in an instant.

"Master Gu, rest assured I won't be lazy."

Stuffing the last piece of steamed bun into his mouth, Jiang Wei picked up the spear beside the table and ran to the center of the courtyard and started to use the spear.

Alas! What a sensible child, but his sensibility made him feel a little distressed.

Jiang Wei is only 8 years old this year. Born into a wealthy family, he should have lived a carefree life of luxury, but he spent all his time for fun on practicing martial arts.

Although he had not spent a long time with Jiang Wei, he could feel that the child was living a very depressed life, as if he was suffocating due to some inexplicable sense of responsibility.

But he was just an outsider, and it was not his place to interfere in other people's family affairs.

Besides, Ye Jinxiu is an insightful person, I think she will be able to handle it.

Suppressing the distracting thoughts in his mind, Gu Nian'an turned his head to look at the girl sitting next to him without saying a word. After thinking it over, he finally decided to keep a distance from her.

A noble lady like Shen Qiuxue, who comes from a distinguished family, is a source of trouble in herself, and she also has a grandfather who is the best in the world. One cannot afford to offend such a person, so it is better to stay away from her.

There was no communication between the two, they just watched the children in the courtyard practicing martial arts in silence.

At 9:00 p.m. (modern 9:00), Gu Nian'an stood up and bowed to the girl at the table.

"Miss Shen, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for the woman in front of him to respond, Gu Nian'an turned around and left the courtyard.

Shen Qiuxue raised her head and stared blankly at the boy's back as he left. She wanted to say something but ultimately couldn't muster up the courage to say anything.

The little boy who was practicing martial arts turned around to look at Master Gu who had already left, then looked at his disappointing sister Xue and shook his head.

It was the same pavilion as yesterday, where Ye Jinxiu was still leisurely sipping tea.

Gu Nian'an walked slowly to her, bowed and said, "Good morning, Madam Jiang."

Ye Jinxiu smiled at the young man in front of her and said, "Good morning, Young Master Gu, you have chosen the location for setting up the medicine pool."

Gu Nian'an nodded gently

"Piaomiao Pavilion on Taiyue Peak."

Hearing this, Ye Jinxiu put down the teacup in her hand and thought for a while before speaking, "Okay, Young Master Gu, have you thought about how to arrange it?"

Gu Nian'an said nothing more and took out a stack of papers from his sleeve and put them on the table.

"All my requirements are written above. Madam Jiang, please see if you can arrange them."

Picking up the paper from the table, Ye Jinxiu began to look at it carefully, but the more she looked, the deeper her frown became.

It might be troublesome to arrange it as described on paper, but it was not a difficult task for her who had a lot of money.

However, he was very curious about the purpose of the young man setting up the medicine pool.

After pondering for a moment, Ye Jinxiu still did not ask the question in her mind.

Everyone has their own secrets, and this time it's just a fair deal. Asking too many questions will not be conducive to future interactions.

After briefly reading the contents of the paper, Ye Jinxiu put it aside.

"It won't be a problem to arrange it according to what's written on the paper. I wonder if Young Master Gu has any time requirements."

“Just finish the arrangement before the spring equinox.”

“Spring Equinox”?

Time is a bit tight, but it’s just a matter of spending more money and manpower.

"Okay, I will arrange for someone to start the work as soon as possible, and Young Master Gu's request will be completed before the Spring Equinox.

Besides this, does Young Master Gu have any other requests? "

Gu Nian'an shook his head slowly, then bowed and said, "Thank you for troubling Madam Jiang this time."

"Young Master Gu, there's no need to be so polite. Overall, I got the better deal in this transaction."

Gu Nian'an didn't quite agree with what Ye Jinxiu said. There was never any advantage in a transaction. It was just a matter of each party getting what they needed.

In his opinion, it was worth it to exchange a useless piece of information for Ye Jinxiu's help.

Moreover, he also wanted to see how the destined story would unfold if there was any outside interference.

This will also be beneficial to his future planning.
