Chapter 222 Back to School

Just as Xiaoyu said, after returning from the lake, she fell into a deep sleep and did not wake up the whole next day.

Grandma Jian Shu saw Xiaoyu's sleeping breath and told us that she must have entered some special state and would definitely not wake up in the short term.

The previous generation of Gu girls seemed to have been in this state, sleeping for more than half a month, and then slowly began to return to normal after waking up.

There is a perpetual calendar in Grandma Jian Shu's room. Today is the nineteenth of the first lunar month, and school will start in two days.

More than ten days passed in the blink of an eye. I looked at the sleeping Xiao Yu and left Fengwang Village with a vague feeling of reluctance.

"Qin Feng, don't worry and go back to school. If Lao Qin and Jira go out to find Yao Yinzi this time, the old lady will definitely attend your wedding with Xiao Yu."

Grandma Jian Shu made me speechless with just one sentence, and I was both surprised and happy.

The kind-hearted Xiaoyu became a Gu girl, and she will definitely not marry for the sake of the Miao village. If we want to solve this problem and the problem of our Qin family's fate, we can only place our hope on the phoenix blood that our grandfather and uncle are looking for.

After lunch, Chujiu and I simply packed up and left Fengwang Village with two letters written by Xiaoyu.

This time, I finally understood the reason Chujiu said that it only took half an hour for him and Grandma Jian Shu to reach the bottom of the mountain.

There is a river on one side of the lake leading to the bottom of the mountain. Chujiu pushed out a bamboo raft one meter wide and three meters long from the reeds beside the river.

Between every two bamboos on the bamboo raft, there is a rope knot and a two-foot-long rope.

Chujiu took off his shoes and jumped onto the bamboo raft, fixing his feet with the rope. Then he asked me to jump to the other end of the bamboo raft and fix myself.

"If I had known the water was so cold, I would have followed you back the way we came."

I stepped on the bamboo raft with my bare feet, and the water vapor penetrated through the bamboo raft and rushed directly to the soles of my feet. I instantly felt a biting cold feeling on the soles of my feet.

"Hey, Guo Guo, you won't feel the cold anymore after a while."

Five minutes later, I understood the meaning of Chapter 9.

The section of water they passed had a steep slope, and the water suddenly became faster. Chujiu yelled, squatted down and leaned back, and the bamboo raft suddenly began to rush forward as if it had been equipped with a booster.

The strong wind blowing towards me made it difficult for me to open my eyes, so I simply squinted my eyes and looked at everything in front of me.

The sound of the wind beside our ears went from soft to loud, and in just a few dozen seconds, our bamboo raft traveled more than two miles.

"You can't feel the ice now, can you?"

The bamboo raft passed through the rapids and returned to its original speed. Chujiu stood up again, turned around and asked me with a wicked smile.

"I feel like I won't feel the same when riding a roller coaster in the future."

Indeed, I no longer felt cold, but instead felt warm all over. In just a few dozen seconds, I was in a state of high tension, my blood was flowing several times faster than usual, and my body was naturally sweating.

When the bamboo raft passed through a large curve, its speed began to slow down extremely. Chujiu asked me to untie the rope that fixed my feet.

When the bamboo raft floated to a giant tree root next to the river bank, Chujiu reached out and grabbed one of the ropes next to the tree root, and the bamboo raft stopped beside the river bank.

We then jumped onto the nearby stone slab and worked together with Chujiu to drag the bamboo raft ashore. Under Chujiu's guidance, we removed the ropes from the bamboo raft and threw it into a tree hole next to the roots of the tree.

Chujiu told me that the next time someone from the village passes by here, they will carry the rope back to the mountain.

After walking along the path in the woods for more than ten minutes, we arrived at the village at the foot of the mountain.

When Chujiu and I saw the military jeep, our eyes lit up. It was so clean. The entire car was wiped clean from top to bottom, including the tires, without a trace of dust.

I don’t know what Chu Jiu said to the host when he entered the house. In short, the host came out with him with a smile on his face and told us to pay attention to safety on the road.

In the car, Chujiu told me that the uncle used to be an engineering soldier and often dealt with cars. However, there were very few cars in their time, and basically all they saw were big trucks.

The uncle could tell at a glance that the car parked at the door of his yard was a military vehicle. Then he thought of his days in the army and felt more intimate in his heart. So he would fetch water every once in a while to clean the car.

Chujiu gave the uncle another military kettle from the car as a souvenir, which was one of the reasons why the uncle was happy. Of course, there was also the fifty yuan given to him by Chujiu.

We stayed in Panzhihua for one night, and when we entered Chongqing, it was already noon the next day.

I thought that Chujiu would go directly to return the military vehicle. Unexpectedly, Chujiu said with a smile that it is rare to drive a car with such superior performance. I just filled up the gas. It would be a bit of a loss to return it now, so I simply took a detour and drove directly to the farmers wholesale market.

.

There is a bank's manual window at the entrance of the farmers' wholesale market, and I withdrew some more money.

Looking at the balance that was already less than five digits, I silently thought that it would be better to visit Uncle Ding more often on weekends in the future.

The owner of the sacrificial offering shop recognized Chujiu and me at a glance, put down what he was doing, and entertained us warmly.

According to Jing'er's idea, she ordered a hundred sets of camouflage combat uniforms, a hundred assault rifles, a hundred pistols, and enough bullets from the shop owner.

When the shop owner heard about such a big order, his first impression was not surprise. Instead, he was surprised and asked us where the war was and where a large number of soldiers died?

Fortunately, I explained to the shopkeeper on the ninth day of the lunar month that after I bought sacrifices here to burn for my comrades years ago, I had a dream for several days in a row. I dreamed that my comrades said that this batch of equipment was well-equipped, and many veterans in the underworld asked him to help get a set.

"It turns out it was a dream. You may not believe some things, but I do. In order to thank your comrades for their recognition, I will provide the bullets for free."

After hearing what Chujiu said, the shop owner explained to us that the people they run this business actually believe in the theory of the underworld, so they believe in the theory of dreams.

In the end, the shop owner decided that the model of the assault rifle would be the AK47, a world-famous design. The model of the pistol would still be the Desert Eagle, but it would be a regular version. With the combat uniform included, the set would cost us one hundred yuan.

The corner of Chujiu's mouth twitched slightly, and my heart tightened. One set cost one hundred yuan, and one hundred sets equaled ten thousand yuan. The combined bank deposits of Chujiu and I were now less than ten thousand yuan.

While he was hesitating whether to use the bankbook left by his grandfather, the shop owner continued to say that this was a big project. Even if practice makes perfect, he could only make about ten sets in a month.

"Okay! Then we'll give you ten sets a month, and I'll give you a one-month deposit. We'll pick up the goods after one month, and you'll pay how much you take."

The shop owner was a little embarrassed at first, worried that we would not be willing to delay it for such a long time. Who knew that as soon as he explained the situation, he agreed immediately after seeing me.

The shop owner stared at the thousand yuan I put on the counter. After being stunned for a long time, he gritted his teeth and decided to ask his mother-in-law to help out at night. He promised to prepare fifteen sets for us in one month.
