Chapter 12

Their Place Did Not Look Like It Belonged to Humans

After Gu Qingxue tidied up the kitchen, she went into the courtyard.

The three little children were no longer in the courtyard.

Gu Lin had always doted on the Lingbao and listened to whatever the Lingbao said. He must have listened to Lingbao’s advice and gone to study properly.

Gu Qingxue took a glance in the direction of the three little children’s rooms, and a streak of light flashed across her eyes.

The place they were staying at the moment did not seem like a place for humans at all.

Not only was it extremely cold in the winter, but the house was also in a state of disrepair. It was especially unsafe.

After she settled the issue of Lil’ Lin’s tuition fees, she would make a trip to Madam Yu’s place.

She would take back everything that belonged to her.

At this point, Gu Qingxue withdrew her gaze, picked up the bamboo basket placed beside the kitchen, and strode out of the courtyard.

In the room, the three little children all came to the window, watching Gu Qingxue’s departing figure through the window.

“What is mother going to do?” Dumby asked curiously.

“I don’t know either. Big brother, do you know?” Lingbao also had a puzzled look.

Gu Lin shook his head, indicating that he did not know either.

He looked in the direction Gu Qingxue left, his eyes full of inquiry.

Lingbao had already passed on Gu Qingxue’s words to him.

Gu Lin realized that he really could not see through his mother more and more.

However, after Gu Qingxue left home, she relied on the memories left behind by the original owner to walk along the country road in the direction of the Dafu Mountain.

In this era, the mountains and forests were not overexploited and retained their original appearance. There were many treasures in the mountains and forests.

The reason why Gu Lin did not want to study was that his family was so poor that they only had two copper coins left. They could not afford to pay the tuition fees at all.

Gu Qingxue was extremely regretful.

If she had not exchanged all the jewelry given to her by others in her previous life for savings in the bank, then she could more or less think of ways to take out some gold, silver, and jewelry from her research institute to deal with the emergency.

Gu Lin needed two taels of silver for a semester.

Gu Qingxue thought of going up the mountain that day to try her luck and see if she could find some good medicinal herbs to exchange for silver in the medicine shop.

Along the way, Gu Qingxue met many villagers.

However, no one was willing to greet her, and the way they looked at her was strange.

The original owner did not have a good reputation in this village.

It was not because she was a widow.

In fact, the villagers of Dafu Village were simple and honest, and most of the villagers in this village were kind.

It was because the original owner was obviously a poor person, but she still had to put on the airs of a young lady of a noble family. She looked at everyone as if she was a pretentious and noble person. She would also throw a tantrum at her own children as she pleased, not caring at all.

This was what the villagers could not stand.

Gu Qingxue did not care about the strange looks of those people. She hummed a little tune and walked out of the village.

The long mountain came into view, and the mist lingered in the mountain, looking like a fairyland.

Gu Qingxue first sighed at the beautiful scenery in front of her, then quickly observed her surroundings. Seeing that there was no one around, she quickly asked the little butler for a silver needle anesthetic gun.

That silver needle anesthetic gun was a small gadget that Gu Qingxue had made when she was bored.

It was only the size of a palm, and it looked like a small silver pistol. In fact, it was a silver needle that had been specially tempered with an anesthetic.

The anesthetic on a single silver needle was enough to paralyze an elephant.

“Master, you have to be careful. Due to the specialty of the silver needle anesthetic gun, you can’t reveal the existence of the silver needle anesthetic gun. Otherwise, you will be punished by the system.” After the little butler handed the silver needle anesthetic gun to Gu Qingxue, it warned Gu Qingxue.
