Chapter 617: Don’t Be Strange

Editor: Henyee Translations

Qi Ting was dumbfounded. Wasn’t there only one road here? How could someone get lost after taking a turn?

Gu Dajiang also realized that his daughter was missing??

He and Qi Ting looked at each other. Just as he was about to turn around and look for her, he heard a familiar voice coming from the corner.

They went back and saw Gu Yundong standing there talking to someone.

“Sir, how much have you stuck?”

Just as he turned around, Qi Ting happened to hear this.

He looked at the old man standing opposite Gu Yundong. Judging from his attire, he should be working in Tianhai Academy. Then, he looked at the net and bamboo pole in his hand. He immediately understood that this guy was specially hired by the academy to get rid of the cicadas in the summer.

In the summer, cicadas chirped non-stop. There were often students who were so annoyed that they could not calm down to study.

Actually, this was not a big deal. If the students could not even overcome this small noise, how could they participate in the imperial examination in the future?

However, there were many rich young masters in the academy. They did not want to hear the sound of cicadas. They could not study in such a noisy environment. Therefore, they found someone to capture these cicadas.

The mountain elder did not care. As long as the people who entered the academy were clean and there were no more than five of them, they could catch the cicadas if they wanted to. Without the chirping of the cicadas, he could also take a comfortable afternoon nap.

At this moment, Gu Yundong was talking to the old man. The net in the old man’s hand was heavy. When he heard this, he chuckled and said, “I’ve stuck quite a lot. Why are you interested in them?”

“Can you let me take a look?” Gu Yundong wanted to reach out to take it.

The old man quickly stepped back. “Miss, don’t. They’re dark and scary and all squeezed together.”

“I’m not afraid of that.” Gu Yundong did not force him. She retracted her hand and said, “I want to buy this net of cicadas. I wonder if it’s possible?”

This time, not only was the old man shocked, but even Qi Ting was shocked.

He looked at the girl in front of him who was three years older than him and did not know what to say.

She bought a bag of cicadas out of the blue. Was there something wrong with her brain?

The old man took a while to react. “M-Miss, are you really going to buy this?”

“Yes. How much?”

The old man was stunned for a moment before he quickly shook his head. “No money, no money. If Miss wants it, feel free to take it.” What kind of hobby was this?

“That won’t do. You worked hard for half a day.” Gu Yundong took out 50 copper coins and gave it to him. “Besides, you have to give me this net.”

Gu Yundong paid and took the cicadas before calling the others to leave.

Only the old man held the money in his hand and was dumbfounded. He had just earned 50 copper coins??

After walking for a long time, Gu Dajiang asked her curiously, “Yundong, why did you buy the cicadas?”

“I’m going to cook them.” Cicadas were very delicious. The meat in the middle was simply delicious. Just thinking about it made her crave it, but no one seemed to eat it here.

Qi Ting almost fell to the ground after hearing this. It took him a while to calm down. He pointed at the net and said, “You, you eat this worm???”

Gu Yundong glanced at him from the corner of her eye. “How ignorant.”

Her ‘you really haven’t seen the world’ look almost made Qi Ting curse.

On the other hand, Gu Yunke curiously reached out to poke the net. “Eldest Sister, is this delicious?”

After receiving Gu Yundong’s affirmative nodding, the young lady’s eyes lit up and she swallowed hard.
