Such an ocean was worth 200 yuan in modern times, but it was much more valuable in the Republic of China.
For example, a librarian's monthly salary was only eight dollars.
Some police officers only had three dollars a month, and these three dollars had to feed their families of four.
In the early years of the Republic of China, one yuan could buy 30 catties of rice or 8 catties of pork in Shanghai.
For example, the average person's monthly salary was a few dollars. At that time, professors could easily reach hundreds or even hundreds.
For example, Lu Xun's monthly salary of 300 yuan was almost a hundred times that of an ordinary person.
Therefore, Gu Zhou's fifty yuan was nothing in the eyes of the rich, but in the eyes of ordinary people, it was an astronomical figure. They would not be able to save so much even if they died.
After calculating the time, Gu Zhou changed into a suit from a hundred years ago and returned to the Republic of China plane.
Bang bang bang!
"Gu Zhou, get up and eat."
Not long after, Da Niu's voice sounded.
Gu Zhou checked his body and made sure that there were no flaws before opening the door and walking out.
Breakfast was porridge and mutton. The mutton was well processed and did not have any fishy smell.
"Daniu, this is for my accommodation and food.”
Gu Zhou placed a piece of money on the table.
Da Niu took a look and smiled.”
Gu Zhou smiled." Daniu, I still have something I need your help with. If you don't accept this money, I won't dare to ask for your help anymore."”
Da Niu hesitated for a moment, but he still kept the ocean."What help?"
"I would like to ask you to teach me the Thirteen Grand Guardians 'horizontal martial arts.”
Gu Zhou lined up ten coins in a row and smiled at Da Niu.
Da Niu was shocked and shook his head like a rattle-drum."Many people in Qingshan Town know how to practice the Thirteen Guardians 'Heng Kung Fu. If you want to learn it, I'll teach you.”
Gu Zhou shook his head." But Ergou said that you're the best. Of course I want to learn from the best master."”
Apart from learning martial arts, he also wanted to capture this powerful bodyguard. He had witnessed Daniu's strength. He killed a wild goat with one punch. In addition, Ergou said that Daniu and the water buffalo had won. Obviously, apart from the fact that Daniu was a little silly, his personal strength was off the charts.
"But…"
Da Niu was about to refuse when the blind old lady sitting on the threshold suddenly said,""Daniu, put it away…"
"Mother…"
"This…this…is too much…" Da Niu was stunned.
Gu Zhou was also stunned when the blind lady suddenly gave him an assist. He smiled and said,"Daniu, your mother has already spoken, why aren't you keeping it? Anyway, I'm willing to give you so much money. You just have to do your best to teach me.”
"Sigh…Alright…"
Da Niu started scratching the back of his head again.
"Daniu, Gu Zhou!"
Ergou walked into the courtyard and greeted him. He circled around Gu Zhou with envy in his eyes."The clothes you changed into are called…what are they called again?”
"Suit."
"Yes!" Buttface slapped his thigh. Suit! Although it's a westerner's outfit, it's much more pleasing to the eye than the one you wore yesterday.”
Gu Zhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He got to the point."Ergou, do you know a person called Gu Youlong?”
"Gu Youlong?"
Hearing this, Ergou frowned slightly and thought for a moment before saying slowly,""Gu You Long…Gu You…I have some impression of him! I remembered! I heard my father mention that he went to Nanyang to make a living twenty years ago. Since then, there has been no news of him. Everyone thought he was dead…Why are you asking him?”
"To tell you the truth, Gu Youlong is my father.”
After saying that, he apologized to his father in his heart. I'm sorry, Dad. I had no choice.
"I see! I've thought it through!"
"I was wondering why you didn't fit in here. So you're from Nanyang."”
Gu Zhou coughed lightly and blushed."My father had some achievements in Nanyang and asked me to come back to help the villagers. I didn't expect to get lost in the mountains.”
Dog was not surprised." It's normal to get lost. We're about 100 miles away from the nearest county. It's easy to get lost without an acquaintance leading the way.”
"I remember that your father has an uncle. He's the leader of our Gu family. I'll bring you to him.”
Ergou excitedly led the way.
The two of them walked side by side. Unlike Da Niu, who rarely spoke, Er Gou never stopped talking. It was unknown how the two of them got along.
"Gu Zhou, did you know that three people died in Jinying Village last night?”
"That's a bit of a coincidence."
Ergou shook his head and lowered his voice mysteriously."Isn't this a bit of a coincidence? Do you know how the three of them died? I was scared to death by a ghost!"
"Ghost?"
"I never believe in things I've never seen before." Gu Zhou was stunned and sneered.”
"It's true!"
Ergou was anxious." The rumors are ridiculous. All three of them died in the same way. Their veins bulged, their teeth bared, and their eyes bulged. Their faces were filled with fear, as if they had been scared to death by a ghost.”
"Is that so?"
Gu Zhou remained skeptical. Even in the information age, there were some legends about ghosts and monsters that were legendary, but no one had ever seen them before.
During the Republic of China, most of the people were ignorant. They believed more in the so-called ghosts.
"Have you ever seen a ghost?"
Gu Zhou asked.
"I haven't seen it before, but there have been cases of ghosts killing people in our town.”
Ergou hesitated.
"Ergou, how far is it?" Gu Zhou asked.”
"It's not far. Do you see that locust tree? Next to the pagoda tree was the Gu family's ancestral hall. The clan leader lived next to the ancestral hall.”
The Gu family's ancestral hall was the only decent building that Gu Zhou had seen in Qingshan Town. It faced east and was in a T-shape when overlooking the building. It corresponded to the herringbone wall on the opposite side, and it secretly contained the prosperity of the Gu family.
The entire ancestral hall was like a castle. Other than the main gate, there were six small side doors that were divided into five levels: The porch, the front hall, the courtyard, the main hall, and the back hall.
As a place to worship their ancestors, even if they were poor, the ancestral hall had to be maintained in a decent manner. If even the ancestral hall declined, it would prove that the clan had declined.
The more powerful and wealthy a family was, the more particular their ancestral hall was. A good ancestral hall was also a symbol of the family's glory.
Gu Zhou could tell that although Qingshan Town was very poor, the Gu family still managed to maintain the reputation of the Gu family.
The residence of the Gu Clan's Patriarch was slightly better than that of ordinary people, but it was limited. The door of the courtyard was wide open. Standing outside the courtyard, one could see the four old men in the courtyard. They all looked to be in their fifties or sixties.
The two of them were playing chess while the other two watched from the side.
