Interstellar boss dressed as a peasant girl and became rich

Chapter 52: Awkwardness is nothing compared to life

After the others experienced the life and death moment just now, they naturally wanted to find the bastard who wanted to harm them.

Unfortunately, when they reached the top of the mountain, not even a ghost was seen, let alone anyone.

Gu Yu did not believe that the stone would roll down the mountain by itself. After careful investigation, he found that the stone had been stepped down from the edge of the cliff artificially.

Moreover, judging from the traces left behind, the person who stepped on the stone was no ordinary person.

He expanded his mental power to explore the area and found that twenty masked men in black had left the forest and were running quickly towards Fucheng.

Gu Yu was very confused by the appearance of these men in black. For the safety of Gu Wu and others, he did not reveal the fact that someone was passing by here. He pretended to be relaxed and said: "I thought someone was pushing rocks down the mountain! I searched for a long time and didn't see anything. What a waste of work." A trip up the mountain is time spent in vain.”

"Yeah! With such a big stone rolling down, I thought it was some scumbag pushing it up the mountain, but I didn't expect that my worries were in vain."

"Yes!" The echoing person kept looking around and said, "But such a big stone, why would it roll down on its own without being moved?"

Gu Yu knew it was man-made, but she couldn't say it, so as not to arouse everyone's panic. She didn't want to waste too much time here, so she urged: "Okay, we have to continue working, don't look here anymore, let's go down the mountain first. !”

When no one was found, she said to go down the mountain, so she naturally went down the mountain and continued working. However, during the process of going down, she couldn't help but ask when Gu Yu learned this skill.

Everyone knows that Gu Yu is very powerful. "I have never learned any kung fu. It's just the potential of a person when he is forced into a desperate situation."

When the others heard what she said, they nodded to express their understanding. They knew that Gu Wu had only one daughter in his life, and Gu Yu was a filial and obedient girl. Presumably it was because she was worried about her father's safety that she showed her amazing skills in critical moments.

In addition, she is very strong, so it is not surprising that she was able to stop the stone.

The group of people chatted and laughed as they reached the mountainside and continued to carry stones and soil. Gu Yuze used the excuse of going to the forest for convenience and issued instructions to the people in charge of each city, asking them to pay more attention to the Chamber of Commerce and the situation around the city.

When she reappeared, Matthew followed her closely and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." After what happened to Han Yili, Gu Yu stayed away from men to avoid causing any more trouble.

Matthew and the others lived at home during this period, and she rarely communicated with these unmarried young men, only occasionally chatting with Ma Yiyi and the others.

Matthew was used to Gu Yu's coldness and suggested, "How about I help you?"

Gu Yu didn't want to have any more entanglements with the man, so she was silent for a moment, said "no need", picked up the basket and quickly called Gu Hongmei to leave.

Another man looked at Gu Yu's back, winked at Matthew and said, "I've really decided to get married!"

Matthew picked up his basket and sighed: "You know the situation of my family. If you meet a good family, it's not impossible to get married."

His family has a large population, with eight brothers and three sisters. He is the third child in the family and is now nineteen years old.

Because his family was in a difficult situation, he asked someone to tell him that he couldn't find any good girls, so he was specially introduced to some crooked girls, or those who would have one or two children with him.

I originally thought that I would only be able to marry an unsatisfactory wife in this life. During the time when I came to my aunt's house to help build a house, I was arranged to stay at Gu Yu's house.

I learned that Gu Yu was an only child and her family background was not bad. Although Gu Yu was taller than him, her face was really beautiful, more beautiful than any woman he had ever seen.

He began to think about it, but he also saw Gu Yu's wariness and resistance towards unmarried young people like them.

On weekdays, I try to avoid communicating with them except talking to my cousins.

The young man who asked Matthew was also interested in Gu Yu, but Gu Yu was really too tall. When he stood next to Gu Yu, he only reached her armpits.

He knew very well that he would never marry such a wife, nor would he marry such a person, and said: "She is so tall, aren't you embarrassed to stand next to her?"

Of course it will feel awkward, but compared with the difficulties of life, these are nothing worth mentioning.

………………

The incident of the stone rolling down the mountain was just an episode in life. Gu Yu received a notice from Guan Xian in the evening. It turned out that the people above had sent people to investigate the murder of the prefect.

Knowing the purpose of these people's coming, he did not pay attention to the disputes among the upper class people all the time.

Live your own little life leisurely and contentedly. On rainy days, I play quilts with Gu Wu and his wife, and on sunny days, I occasionally work in the fields. The main daily routine is to help Gu Dabao's family build a house.

After a busy month, on the day when the house was completed and the beams were installed, Gu Yu suddenly felt dizzy. He rubbed his eyes and patted his head before returning to normal.

Seeing her slapping her head, Yang asked anxiously, "Yu'er, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Gu Yu didn't know why he was dizzy. Little stars appeared in front of his eyes and he said, "It's okay. Maybe I didn't sleep well last night and I'm a little sleepy."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Yang scolded her: "I told you to read less of those talk books at night and go to bed earlier, but you just didn't listen. Now you're feeling dizzy because you haven't had enough sleep!"

Gu Yu: "..."

She hadn't read any story books, so every time Yang saw that she was in a bad mental state, she would use this as an excuse.

Sacrifice to the beam before the beam is laid is an indispensable ritual. The host family will use copper coins, candies, and grains to raise the beams of the house and shout "good luck and good fortune".

People carry the main beam covered with red paper or red silk into the front of the new house, place pigs, fish, chickens, geese, eggs, tofu, incense and other sacrifices, and the craftsmen make a toast while saying good things. After the beam ceremony is completed, the craftsmen lift the main beam to the roof or pull it up with ropes. During the process of lifting or pulling the beam, firecrackers were fired, and the beam-sliding master sang the beam-sliding song and shouted "Go up, good luck!" According to customs in various places, the methods of beam-raising are different.

In some places, it is required to lift the beam smoothly and steadily, and it is taboo to lift the beam in tandem or at an angle. In other places, the east end of the main beam is higher than the west end, because the east end represents the "green dragon" and the west end represents the "white tiger". According to the requirements of Feng Shui, the "white tiger" is lower than the "green dragon".

After the main beam is stabilized, the owner will move the "grain bags" sent by relatives and friends to the roof and place them in the center of the beam, which symbolizes a good harvest. At the same time, red cloth is draped on the beam. In some places, a pair of cloth insoles are sewn on the bottom of the red cloth, which means that the new house owner will have a good foundation.

In some places, people will hang a red cloth bag in the middle of the main beam, which contains red dates, peanuts, rice, wheat, evergreen, etc., which means "good fortune, wealth, longevity, happiness, evergreen".

Then, the craftsman will wrap the fruits, food, etc. in red cloth, and while saying auspicious words, put the cloth bag into the basket held by the owner. This process is called "catching the bag", which means catching the treasure.

The most lively part is the "throwing the beam". When the owner completes "receiving the package", the craftsman will throw candies, peanuts, steamed buns, copper coins, "gold ingots", etc. from the beam to the surroundings.
