Chapter 11 Saving the Big Elm Tree
  When he woke up the next morning, Gu Qianshan felt that his whole body was light.

Suddenly I smelled a foul smell. How can I describe this smell?

It's like the stinky socks at home that haven't been washed for a long time and are thrown into the cesspool. The smell is particularly ecstatic.

Gu Qianshan, who was still half asleep, was suddenly awakened by the smell.

After finally opening his eyes and getting up, he looked around and found no suspicious targets.

Later, I finally saw that the source of the smell was in myself.

"Ahem...what's going on? Why does it smell so bad?" Gu Qianshan said in confusion while covering his nose.

As soon as I covered it, I found that my hands were covered with a thin layer of black mud, as well as my entire body.

And this smell comes from the black mud.

Gu Qianshan hurriedly went out to fetch water from the well and went to the small shower cubicle, where he rinsed away the black mud from his body.

Gu Xue was in the room and heard clearly.

He has no intention of going out now, because Gu Qianshan's condition is not easy to explain, so he might as well pretend not to know anything.

After Gu Qianshan washed it several times, he also wiped the bed clean.

I couldn't use any of the blankets on top because they were already soaked in the stench.

Gu Xue then pretended to come out of the room, looked at Gu Qianshan who was washing clothes, and pretended to be a little confused and said: "Grandpa, why is it so smelly in this yard?"

Gu Qianshan was also surprised: "I don't know either. I noticed a stinky smell on my body as soon as I got up. I don't know who pulled the prank."

In fact, he was surprised that Gu Qianshan had been on the battlefield and was mentally strong enough.

If you don't understand this matter, then you don't understand it. It's rare for people to be confused when they get old, so it's better to be a little confused.

After tidying up the house, Gu Xue also made breakfast.

The meat at home has been eaten in the past few days. Gu Xue cooked porridge. There was also cabbage in the yard and fried a cabbage and shredded potatoes.

There wasn't much seasoning, but it still tasted good.

On the basis of yesterday's proportion, the amount of Lingquan water was reduced by more than ten times.

For some unknown reason, ordinary potatoes and cabbage were also very delicious, and Gu Qianshan was very satisfied.

The pot of porridge, potatoes and cabbage were all eaten.

Gu Qianshan carried the hoe and went to work in the fields. Gu Xue took the prepared books and went to the ancestral hall in the corner of the village.

Many children have already arrived in the ancestral hall.

Gu Xue is the only teacher in the village, and the school in the village is in the attic next to the ancestral hall.

There are several tables and stools on it, and the blackboard is made of wood and blackened with fire.

Use a clay to write on it and you will be able to see it more clearly.

When Gu Xue went there, she wrote the text she wanted to learn today on the blackboard.

By the time she finished writing, the seats below were already filled with students.

These students are all children in the village and cannot help with work, so they are sent to school.

They are all well-behaved and very serious when studying. Even if they have any questions, they will come over and ask them seriously after class.

No wonder the original owner likes these children so much. They are so well-behaved. Gu Xue also likes well-behaved human cubs.

After all, I have lived in a place like the end of the world for a long time, where there are no humans or ghosts, and I don't hate children who represent hope.

These children learn very slowly. They only learned one ancient poem in one morning.

It was noon in a blink of an eye, and these children hurried back to their homes to have dinner. There was only one class in the afternoon, and they would come over after taking a nap at home.

Gu Xue returned home and bought two of them. After delivering them to Gu Qianshan, she turned around and headed into the mountain on her way back.

Walking along the previous path, we soon arrived in front of the big elm tree. The tree that originally had no leaves has grown a lot of leaves unconsciously in the past few days.

It looks a lot more energetic.

When Gu Xue came over, she heard the sound of the big tree, which was more powerful than before.

"Help me...save me..."

Gu Xue touched the big tree.

"You asked me to save you, how can I help you?"

There was a long silence immediately after, just when Gu Xue thought he didn't respond.

"There's something down there... There's something down there..."

Then I kept repeating this sentence in my mind.

Gu Xue was speechless for a while!
  Is there something seriously wrong with this tree?
  It was as if he could only repeat one sentence, but he also understood something from what he said.

Controlling supernatural powers, he shuttled through the roots of this tree.

He soon found a black mass wrapped in tree roots.

It is this thing that blocks the growth of the roots. The nutrients needed for the growth of the big tree cannot be replenished, so it slowly weakens.

Controlling these roots quickly moved this thing from the roots to the top.

After waiting up there, Gu Xue was immediately startled.

At first I just thought this thing was relatively big, but I didn't expect that after it broke out of the ground, this thing was piled up with dozens of large boxes.

Gu Xue opened a box at random, which was full of jewelry. Then he opened another box, which contained some jade and jade, as well as several boxes of antique calligraphy and paintings.

These things are valuable, but it would not be a good thing if someone discovered them.

Even in their village, one can know that there is a severe crackdown going on outside.

Without the obstruction of these things, the big elm tree seemed to be rejuvenated, and the whole tree felt much more energetic.

Gu Xue looked at these things. These things should be some years old, at least hidden under the tree. According to the age of the tree, it must be at least a hundred years old.

In other words, in the past hundred years, the original owner of this thing should have long been gone.

That means these things are ownerless. If she finds something without an owner, it belongs to her.

Thinking of this, Gu Xue directly put the pile of things into the space, which instantly occupied most of her space.

Looking at what he got and looking at the towering elm tree, Gu Xue directly gave all his powers to the tree.

Instantly the tree was covered with leaves.

When Gu Xue left, she heard the old voice of the big elm tree again.

"Thank you... thank you... thank you!"

Until she walked far away, Gu Xue still had the voice of thanks from the old elm tree in her mind.

Back at the foot of the mountain, I took the books at home and went to the ancestral hall.

He taught some basic mathematics in the afternoon and returned home in the evening. Gu Qianshan came back earlier than him.

Gu Qianshan looked very happy. After asking around, he found out that there was news about relief food from above.

Ever since the space food incident, the village has been living with its belt tightened.

Now there is news about the relief food. Once it comes out, you won’t have to go hungry like now.

After hearing this, Gu Xue recalled her previous memories and immediately narrowed her eyes.

I can’t get this food down!
