"Mother, let me go up the mountain."

Without Xu Tianlong to disturb her, everything went back to how it used to be. Every morning, Gu Jinyu would wake up early to go to the academy, while Nona would return to gathering herbs every day. Early in the morning, when the first rays of the morning sun shone into the courtyard, Nona carried her backpack and called out for someone to come out.

It wasn't just an accident, but something else as well. She kept feeling that Gu Yu's treatment of her had become a lot colder lately. Although she wasn't really passionate before, she still responded when he called her, but recently, even if he could talk to her, she only casually nodded her head as if she didn't hear him. It wasn't that she hadn't asked Gu Jinyu before, but her explanation was that her mother had been too tired recently and was probably in a bad mood.

Nona had always been a person who didn't care. She treated others well just because they treated her well. If they treated her badly, she would naturally not stick her hot face to their cold butt. Since Gu Yu wouldn't talk to her, she could just yell at him. She had already done everything she could do, so the rest had nothing to do with her.

"Come back early!"

However, she didn't expect Gu Yu, who usually didn't pay her much attention, to take the initiative to speak up today.

Immediately, Mother Jin stopped her steps, feeling overwhelmed by the unexpected favor.

"Oh, okay, I know, come back early today."

Nona was stunned for half a second before she finally reacted. She then nodded heavily and happily responded.

To be honest, she could understand Gu Yu's attitude towards her. A woman in her thirties with two children, one blind, one full of pustules, it really wasn't easy for her to use her shoulders to start a family like this. Add...

Plus, he didn't have to worry about it.

Gu Jinyu was dragged into this mess by Gu Shenwei, so how could Xu Tianyun refuse to save trouble? He came to her house every few days. Although she usually didn't go out, she knew how much gossip she had provoked. It was probably because Gu Yu's words were unpleasant to hear, but luckily, she was a quiet person and normally wouldn't say anything. Even if Xu Tianyi sent her home every day, she would just pretend she didn't see it.

"En, go on, be careful!"

Gu Yu nodded and waved her hand stiffly.

She had always been a quiet person, so naturally, she would say less concerned about others. She might even say a few more words to Gu Jinyu, but this was the first time to Nona, not to mention Nona, even she herself felt quite awkward. If it wasn't for … If it weren't for the matter today, she wouldn't have said so much to her …

"Oh, then I'm off!"

Nona also did not expect her to talk to him so much. She was not used to it, but she still smiled and waved as she happily went out the door.

However, he was still a little confused. It seemed like this Gu Yu family was a little strange today.

He had been here for such a long time, but this was the first time she talked to him like this, right?

"Forget it, let's not think about it. Let's take advantage of the time we have and go up the mountain and see if we can find some medicinal ingredients."

Nona shook her head and stopped thinking about it. Since she couldn't understand it, then she didn't want to. This was her principle.

Recently, every time she went to the medicine store, she would intentionally get some different herbs. There were already dozens of different herbs in her storage, but they were still incomplete. Therefore, he could only go up the mountain and look for some useful herbs. After all, if he wanted to exchange for the medicine he wanted, he would need a lot of herbs.

Furthermore, there weren't any in many medicinal herb shops. She didn't know whether it was because the medicinal ingredients in the shops were incomplete, or because no one in this era knew of those medicinal ingredients.

"Today was a lucky day. I found several types of medicinal herbs. It seems I was one step closer to my goal."

When she saw that there were a few more types of medicinal herbs that could be exchanged with each other in the space, Nona felt quite happy.

Although all of them were simple Chinese patent medicine ingredients, since they could be exchanged, other western medicines could be exchanged in the future. It was just that he had yet to find the herbs needed to make those medicines.

Looking at the growing herbs in the space, Nona felt happy. She thought that one day she would be able to make a move to restore her brother's eyesight and let him see the beauty of this world. She couldn't help but feel excited.

Gu Jinyu was the first person she had seen ever since she came to this world. She was as dependent on Gu Jinyu as if she was a small beast that would treat the first person it saw as its mother. Although Gu Yu was her mother, she couldn't find that sort of intimacy with her. Even though Gu Yu didn't say anything, she could feel that she didn't like herself very much.

He couldn't blame Gu Yu's family for this. These days, he was more like a boy than a girl, and he was a shameful person. It would be weird if she liked him.

"Hey, it's almost noon, time to go home."

There was no watch and no cell phone. Nona had already gotten used to looking at the sun to distinguish the time and the sun. It was almost noon. She quickly gathered some herbs before throwing them into her backpack and leaving the space. In the past, she would always wait until the afternoon before returning up the mountain, but today, she didn't forget Gu Yu's reminder. This was the first time Gu Yu told her to return early.

Although it was clear that Madam Gu didn't like her and couldn't find that kind of feeling for her, she was after all the mother of this body, and he had already survived in her place, then … Nona still hoped that he could maintain a relatively good relationship with Gu Yu, at least … At the very least, he didn't want to cause a ruckus. After all … After all, she was Gu Jinyu's mother …

As she thought of going home, she unconsciously quickened her pace. But who would have thought that with such speed, his feet slipped …

"Ah …"

The mountain was covered with leaves. Nona's foot slipped and she slid for a long time.

Nona screamed in fright. She wanted to grab onto the tree next to her, but she failed to do so several times.

"Bang!" She did not know how far she slid before she hit an old tree and stopped.

"Oh, it hurts!"

This time, although he had stopped, his face still heavily hit the tree trunk. Immediately, he felt a heart-wrenching pain, followed by a stench that filled the sky.

Suddenly, there was only one thought on Nona's mind, and that was: What the f * ck, he broke it again!

Right, it broke again!

Those pustules on her face were probably broken again!

"Woo woo, f * ck, how could I be so unlucky!"

She stiffened her claws and wanted to touch her face, but … However, that heart-wrenching pain made her afraid to do anything, so she could only whimper and complain.

He didn't know what the pustules on her face were, nor did he know why they would hurt so much every time they were broken. The last time they broke apart, they were beaten up by Xu Mantian … Recently, she had been extremely careful and didn't dare to use any strength to wash her face. She didn't expect that … Who would have thought that today would be …

"Ah, what bad luck!" After a long time, when the pain was slightly better, Nona carefully pulled herself up from the tree.

He made a grasping motion with his hand … Suddenly, Ninth Mother's eyes lit up!

"Heart Returning Grass!"

Jiu Niang screamed out in excitement. She grabbed the finger-long grass in her hand, forgetting the pain on her face in her excitement.

"Hey, big sister, what time is it? Where's your girl?" Why is there no one here? "We agreed that you wouldn't go back on your word, right?"

In the Gu household's main hall, two missing teacups were placed on a simple and crude table. Under the blanket, there were two of the worst quality tea leaves. However, there were two women sitting in the living room today. One of them wore a navy blue dress, and had a dark expression on her face. She complained unhappily, while Gu Yu Shi rubbed her hands and stood to the side, accompanying her laughter.

"Well, the kid went into the mountains to pick some herbs. He'll be back soon." "Please, please wait a moment."

Rubbing her hands, Gu Yu smiled and explained as she begged for mercy.

These two people were from the neighboring village. She had to find many people to help her introduce this place. If it weren't for the fact that her son had lost his mind, he wouldn't have agreed to visit her at home. It was just that she didn't expect that she had clearly reminded that girl to come back earlier. It was already afternoon, why was there still no one?

"What?" Collecting herbs from the mountain? This... "How can a girl show her face to the public!"

A woman wearing a dark red dress was sitting next to the navy blue dress. She didn't say anything, but when she heard Gu Yu say that Jiu Niang had gone to gather herbs, she immediately jumped up. Her triangular eyes stared at Gu Yu with undisguised disdain.

The woman stood up and was about to leave with the woman in the navy blue dress.

"This, this old lady Yu, you, please listen to me, no, our Ninth Mother is a very obedient child. She is not, is not …" It was only because her brother was going to take the exam that he decided to head up the mountain … "She's trying to make up for her family …" She didn't expect that her words would cause people to want to leave. She immediately became anxious and hurried forward to stop them. She wasn't someone who was good at talking, and now that she was in a daze, she was unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time. She was so anxious that cold sweat flowed from her body.

Due to her long term farming work, even though she was small and thin, her strength was much greater than normal. One person was able to stop both of them.

"You … you …" What are you doing? "Look at what kind of family you're looking for, Zhang!"

If she didn't have such a vexed little son, she wouldn't have to come all the way here. She didn't expect to pull Gu Yu's hand behind her back, and her face immediately darkened. Even Mrs. Zhang who had brought her here was displeased. "You mean a good family?" Is this what you call a good home? I think you must have been blinded by lard! "How could my family find such a family!

"Look at what you're saying, aunt. I'm very kind." We've seen a lot of people around here, and you know the situation with the plug. " Speaking of which, this Old Lady Yu was Zhang's grandaunt. If it wasn't for this relationship, she wouldn't even be willing to help her, and would've been rather unhappy with Gu Yu's help. However, when Old Lady Yu said this, she actually felt dissatisfied towards the old lady in her heart. Did she not know what the situation was with her own son? He had gone crazy and had to be looked after by others. How many families were there that were willing to give a good girl to this kind of person?

Moreover, this Yu family could be considered an ordinary family. Could it be that they wanted to talk about a Heavenly Immortal with a betrothal gift of two taels of silver?

"Originally, I wasn't the one who wanted to help out with this kind of thing. If my great-aunt isn't satisfied, then let's go back. Just don't look for me in the future!"

Zhang Shi was not happy. Her face was dark as she directly threw away the peach.
