Chapter 31 Fainting
Wild grapes growing on the mountain are not as sweet as cultivated grapes. Their overall sour and astringent taste makes them difficult to swallow.
This is also the reason why there are large patches of wild grapes on the mountain, but no one picks them. Even if they were picked and fed to pigs, the pigs wouldn’t eat them, and it would be a waste of half a day’s effort.
However, this is the general public’s idea.
Gu Yu, who transmigrated from modern times, naturally wouldn’t think these wild grapes were useless. Instead, they were a good way to make money.
“A’yu, what exactly do you want me to bring you here for?”
“Yeah! Brother-in-law, don’t tell me you like eating these wild grapes… hiss, just thinking about it makes my mouth water with sourness. It’s truly terrifying.”
Standing on the hillside, Gu Yu looked down. Upon seeing a large patch of wild grapevines, the smile on his face grew brighter and brighter. This made Gu Mengyao and her siblings, who were standing beside him, confused and question what Gu Yu was trying to do.
After tasting the wild grapes, Gu Mengyao and her siblings had no desire to try them again. Even now, their mouths were extremely sour and astringent just by looking at these small purple spheres.
“Although these wild grapes are not edible, they can be used to make wine.”
“Make wine?”
“Yes, it’s very delicious! Compared to ordinary wine, it’s sweeter… Once I make it, you can taste it. But these wild grapes need to be picked as soon as possible, otherwise, it will be difficult to handle them later.”
Gu Yu smiled at Gu Mengyao and then explained the reason. However, Gu Mengyao and her siblings didn’t believe that such sour fruits could be brewed into delicious wine. It would surely be just as sour as before!
However, in order not to dampen Gu Yu’s enthusiasm, Gu Mengyao and her siblings did not object. They secretly decided that no matter what Gu Yu did, they would just support him.
After all, Gu Yu’s decisions in the past had never been wrong. Seeing his determined expression now, he must have been fully prepared.
Even if it failed, it wouldn’t matter, they just didn’t want Gu Yu to be discouraged by it!
“In that case, let’s pick these grapes now!”
“No rush. This kind of work is too troublesome. Mengyao, contact your little sisters and ask if they are willing to come and pick grapes together. I’ll pay them.”
“It’s okay, I’ll ask them to help, no need to pay them.”
“You can’t say that. Favors are favors, and work is work. They also have to work at home, and if they come to help you, the people at home might say something… So, to prevent this situation, we should make things clear beforehand to avoid disputes later.”
“Mm, A’yu, you’ve thought it through very well. I’ll tell them.”
After hearing Gu Yu’s words, Gu Mengyao was about to say something… but then she thought that some of her little sisters came from poor families, and some were already married and couldn’t come out at any time.
If they worked for free for a day, it would definitely delay many things.
However, if they were paid, it would be a different story.
After all, for the sake of money, their families wouldn’t say anything, and they could also take this opportunity to relax. Why not!
However, her A’yu is truly amazing!
He thought of everything in advance, he is so smart.
[Gu Mengyao’s favorability +20, Space is upgrading…]
Just as Gu Yu felt that his wife was truly considerate, the space notification sounded again, making Gu Yu a little surprised. He didn’t know why Gu Mengyao’s favorability had increased at this moment!
If it were to increase, Gu Yu felt it should be him!
After all, when he talked about brewing wine, Gu Mengyao and her siblings did not object but were very supportive, which made Gu Yu’s heart feel warm.
This feeling was not bad, it made him quite happy.
It’s just… why did his vision suddenly become so blurry? He saw Gu Mengyao’s face become a double image, and Gu Yu subconsciously raised his hand to wipe his eyes forcefully, and also shook his head, trying to see more clearly.
But as soon as he shook his head, Gu Yu’s vision went black, and his whole body fainted forward.
Gu Yu was on the small hillside. If he fell down, he would definitely be badly injured. Fortunately, Gu Mengyao was quick-witted and caught Gu Yu’s body before he could fall forward.
Then, after checking his body and finding that Gu Yu had only fainted and there were no other conditions, Gu Mengyao and her siblings breathed a sigh of relief.
“Sister, so much time has passed, why is Brother-in-law’s body still so weak! It shows that Auntie Wang Er was completely wrong. Brother-in-law’s fainting is not something that can be stopped by eating meat.”
“I don’t know what to do either. Should I go find some ginseng…”
“My dear sister! Brother-in-law said before that ginseng cannot be eaten indiscriminately! What if it over-nourishes him and he dies, then you’ll just cry!”
After placing Gu Yu’s body on the ground, Gu Mengyao also sat down beside him. Then, placing Gu Yu’s head on her lap, Gu Qingheng, who saw the worry in her eyes, couldn’t help but shake his head.
Before, he was worried that his sister would go out and find a pretty boy. But looking at her now, let alone going out to find a pretty boy… Even if a handsome guy who was devastatingly handsome appeared, his sister wouldn’t look twice.
Gu Yu, this brother-in-law, had already captured his sister’s heart.
Although Gu Qingheng also felt that Gu Yu was a good person and a great brother-in-law, he was simply too weak.
This habit of fainting, if the illness wasn’t found quickly, and it got worse later, his sister would have to live as a widow!
However, when Gu Qingheng heard Gu Mengyao say she wanted to find ginseng, his eyes couldn’t help but roll upward. He felt his sister was truly desperate and resorting to any means.
Was ginseng something to be eaten randomly?
Brother-in-law had already said before that ginseng was a great tonic and couldn’t be eaten indiscriminately!
Gu Qingheng didn’t want to see Gu Yu bleed from his nose because of being over-nourished.
“Then I’ll take A’yu to town to see a doctor. No matter what illness it is! The money at home is enough now, we must cure A’yu!”
“I think… let’s ask Brother-in-law’s opinion after he wakes up! I always feel like Brother-in-law doesn’t like to see a doctor. Otherwise, he would have gone to the medical hall long ago when he earned money.”
“But, we can’t just watch and do nothing. If something really happens to A’yu, I…”
“Sister! Are you really stupid or pretending to be stupid? Even if Brother-in-law disagrees, you can cry and make a scene. With how much Brother-in-law dotes on you, how could he disagree!”
“Qingheng, you’re right! I’ll carry A’yu home first, and then we’ll talk after he wakes up.”
When Gu Qingheng gave his sister advice, Gu Mengyao immediately nodded solemnly, indicating that she would convince Gu Yu to see a doctor afterwards.
However, when Gu Qingheng saw Gu Mengyao stand up and directly carry Gu Yu horizontally, he quickly helped by standing guard around them, lest his sister’s innate divine strength be seen by others.
I have to say, my sister’s strength is truly immense!
Carrying her brother-in-law’s body horizontally was like holding a piece of cloth, with no feeling of weight at all.
…
After Gu Mengyao carried Gu Yu home and placed him on the bed to rest, she went to prepare dinner, intending to have Gu Yu eat delicious food as soon as he woke up, and also to persuade him to see a doctor at the dinner table.
When Gu Yu woke up, he looked at the darkening sky outside the door and remained in the same position, lying on the bed. Then he raised his left hand, placed it under the mole at the corner of his eye, and flashed into the space.
This fainting was too strange. Gu Mengyao’s favorability was only +20, which did not exceed the 50 mark.
But why did he still faint?
This was too strange!
[Gu Mengyao’s favorability +500, Congratulations! Space’s first stage (5/10) liberated.]
However, when Gu Yu pushed open the door in the space and arrived at a small world, he understood why he had fainted…
It turned out that Gu Mengyao’s favorability had reached 500 at this time.
To faint because of this was too illogical! After all, he didn’t faint when his favorability reached 200 or 300.
Wandering somewhat dejectedly in this small world, Gu Yu froze on the spot as his eyes shifted from the recovery fountain to the altar. He then rubbed his eyes as if he couldn’t believe it, and only then confirmed that everything was real.
The reason was none other than that a tall pile of books had suddenly appeared on the altar.
It wasn’t an exaggeration for Gu Yu; it was truly a thick pile of books!!!
Compared to the thin lightness skill manual that appeared last time, this was incomparable. The difference was huge!
The previous appearance of lightness skill had made Gu Yu covetous for a long time. This time, new books finally appeared, and he wondered if he could use them!
As a result, he indeed could use them.
However, the titles of the books were not what Gu Yu had expected…
“Medical Scripture – Basic Herbology”
“Introduction to Medical Scripture”
“Elementary Medical Scripture”
“Intermediate Medical Scripture”
Among these books, the basic herbology section alone took up more than half of the space and was especially thick.
Gu Yu casually flipped open a page and saw dense small characters mixed with a large number of complex terms, making Gu Yu feel like his eyes were going blurry.
Why were there no more martial arts manuals!!!
His expectations had completely turned into disappointment. Gu Yu pouted dejectedly and decided to take these books to his younger brother-in-law to study, so he could master various knowledge and be more competent in his future dealings with officials.
If someone offended him, he would drug them without hesitation.
As he thought about it, Gu Yu increasingly felt that this idea was good: he could cultivate his younger brother-in-law to be more outstanding… it was definitely not because he hated reading, so he pushed it all onto Gu Qingheng.
Because this was his brother-in-law’s deep love!
After figuring out the changes in the space, Gu Yu also left the space and returned to the bed.
Then Gu Yu didn’t lie down anymore. Instead, he walked out of the house and sneaked into the room where his younger brother-in-law was. At the same time, he held a basic herbology book in his hand, preparing to give it to Gu Qingheng later.
“Brother-in-law, you’re awake! How did you suddenly faint? You scared us quite a bit!”
“Mm, perhaps I was startled by the kidnappers before, so my body was temporarily unable to cope.”
“Brother-in-law, the kidnapping incident happened a long time ago. You should at least make up a believable excuse. This is too fake.”
“…”
When he met Gu Qingheng, what he said at this moment made Gu Yu want to hit him on the head a few times. But after looking down at the thick book in his hand, Gu Yu put on a warm, fatherly smile.
“Qingheng, look what good stuff I brought you.”
“Brother-in-law! Just spare me. I don’t want to read anymore, really… Huh? There are no words in this book!”
As Gu Yu handed over the book, he held back his laughter, waiting to see his younger brother-in-law’s reaction.
However, when Gu Qingheng’s voice rang out, it made Gu Yu confused.
There were no words in the book???!
