Fast-paced era: a warm and leisurely life

Chapter 480 The Orphan Abandoned by the Times 17

Gu Nuanyi didn't want to make a promise that might not be fulfilled

They are only 6 years old now, and they still have many decades to go before they get old.

I don't know how many accidents or surprises will happen in the meantime.

If you can't fulfill it, don't make promises easily.

Chen Hanyu blinked and realized that something was wrong with what he said.

He took a sip of water and changed the subject: "Sister Gu, can you tell me about your life down the mountain?"

"The land in this village is not owned by the owner, but collectively. Everyone goes to work on the land at a certain time every day. The completion of the work is counted as work points. These work points are very useful. They are used to distribute food, meat, and vegetables. Extra work points can be exchanged for money. It can be said that work points are very important in village life! ”

Chen Hanyu nodded, then propped up his head and began to imagine his life down the mountain: "Then I must work hard and strive to earn more work points. I can't always rely on Master Shanling!! "

It's great to think about sharing food and meat through your own efforts

Chen Hanyu grinned and laughed a few times

After fantasizing, Chen Hanyu wanted to go down the mountain even more

I put down the cup and walked outside the gate, looking down the mountain eagerly.

But the view was blocked by the misty drizzle, so Chen Hanyu had to sit back by the fire.

After a short while, he got up and went to the cave entrance to see if the rain had stopped.

Gu Nuanyi cut a plow and put it in Chen Hanyu's hand: "This rain won't stop for a while, I'll take you down the mountain when the ground is a little drier, okay?"

After hearing Gu Nuanyi's assurance, Chen Hanyu finally sat down by the fire.

As Chen Hanyu expected, the hazy drizzle finally stopped two days later.

The temperature rose a lot after the sky cleared up

Gu Nuanyi boiled some hot water and planned to take a good bath

Chen Hanyu looked at Gu Nuanyi eagerly without saying anything, and just followed behind Gu Nuanyi like a little tail.

Follow Gu Nuanyi wherever she goes

Gu Nuanyi held the hot water in one hand and held her forehead with the other helplessly: "I'm going to take a shower, do you want to follow me?"

Chen Hanyu immediately stopped and waved his hands with a red face: "No, no, no, I won't follow you."

"There's still a lot of hot water in the pot, you can wash yourself there too."

Chen Hanyu nodded, and walked to the stove with slightly stiff limbs.

When Gu Nuanyi was no longer visible, Chen Hanyu patted his head in annoyance: "Why are you so impatient? You have forgotten everything your father taught you!!"

"You must stay calm and don't show your emotions too much. You can't let others see your inner thoughts." Chen Hanyu repeated this to himself twice before scooping up the hot water and putting it into the wooden barrel.

the other side

After Gu Nuanyi confirmed that Chen Hanyu was not following her, she immediately entered the space

It's too late to burn it now

Directly take out the hot water stored in the space, soak for a while, take out the bath towel and rub it back and forth on the arm gently.

"Eh..." Gu Nuanyi looked at the streaks of black mud on her arms with disgust.

I have never been so rude before...

It rained heavily those days, so it was difficult for her to go out.

Even though Chen Hanyu was only 6 years old, Gu Nuanyi was too embarrassed to take a bath in front of him.

In addition, the temperature was low and Gu Nuanyi was afraid of catching a cold after taking a shower, so she kept enduring it.

She almost hated herself to death, even though she wiped it with a towel every day.

But it's not a proper bath after all.

Gu Nuanyi sped up her scrubbing speed, and streaks of black mud came out.

Gu Nuanyi felt that her skin became much whiter after the black mud was rubbed off

Gu Nuanyi washed herself from head to toe two or three times, and only stopped when her skin turned red.

When Gu Nuanyi returned to the cave, Chen Hanyu had finished washing and was sitting in front of the fire wringing out his hair.

Chen Hanyu turned his head to look at Gu Nuanyi and said, "Sister Gu, I boiled another pot. It will be comfortable to take a good bath."

Gu Nuanyi turned around, filled a bucket and carried it out.

It just so happens that a lot of hot water in the space has been consumed this time.

Gu Nuanyi did not enter the space again this time. She walked down the mountain for two steps. After confirming that the road was easy to walk on, she planned to take Chen Hanyu down the mountain to have a look tomorrow.

After he sees the situation at the bottom of the mountain clearly, he won't worry about it for a long time.

"Chen Hanyu, go to bed early tonight and go down the mountain early tomorrow morning."

"Really?" Chen Hanyu jumped up with joy and turned around in the cave a few times with small steps.

I completely forgot what I just said.

The next day

Gu Nuanyi felt something beside her bed while half asleep and half awake.

I half opened my eyes and saw Chen Hanyu standing beside my bed holding a candle.

Gu Nuanyi opened her eyes suddenly and said in a low voice, "Chen Hanyu, why are you standing by my bed holding a candle instead of sleeping?"

Chen Hanyu took two steps back and said in a pitiful voice, "Sister Gu, didn't you say you were going down the mountain today?"

Gu Nuanyi helplessly held her forehead and said, "Yes, I did say that, but it shouldn't be this early, right?"

Looking outside through the ventilation hole in the fence, the sky is just getting light.

"But, but I can't sleep..." Chen Hanyu noticed that Gu Nuanyi's air pressure was extremely low, and took two steps back.

Watery eyes full of begging

Gu Nuanyi took a deep breath, patted her face and opened the quilt: "Get up, get up, let's go down the mountain after breakfast."

Chen Hanyu said excitedly: "Okay! Sister Gu, go wash up, I'll make breakfast"

After breakfast, Gu Nuanyi cut a branch for Chen Hanyu to use as a walking stick.

After shaving, I looked up and saw Chen Hanyu busy putting his things into the backpack.

"What are you doing?"

"Sister Gu, I think since we have to go down the mountain anyway, why not take some down first? This way we can save ourselves from having to make an extra trip."

"Put it down first. I'll take you to familiarize yourself with the way down the mountain this time." Gu Nuanyi handed the crutch to Chen Hanyu: "We don't have much stuff. It will only take two trips to move it. There's no rush now. You will fall if you carry such a heavy backpack before you are familiar with the road."

Fortunately, Chen Hanyu listened to the advice and did not insist on carrying the backpack.

Holding a cane, he excitedly followed Gu Nuanyi

I kept looking left and right along the way.

Seeing mushrooms at the roots of the tree, he dragged Gu Nuanyi to pick them up.

Just like going out for a spring outing

Chen Hanyu was stunned when he crossed the dividing line without even reaching the foot of the mountain.

The cane in his hand fell directly to the ground

The voice was a little stammering as he asked, "Gu, Sister Gu, where are we now?"

“We are now at the outskirts of the mountain.”

Chen Hanyu turned his head and looked at the road he had just come down. Standing on the dividing line, on the left was a dry land without even a blade of grass, and on the right was a lush, green forest.

The powerful split dared to attack Chen Hanyu

"This area deep in the mountains is protected by mountain spirits, but the power of the mountain spirits is limited after all, and they cannot protect the entire mountain. But as long as the drought ends, it won't take long for the surrounding areas to recover."

Seeing Chen Hanyu still standing there, Gu Nuanyi asked, "Are you still going down the mountain?"

"Go! Maybe the situation down the mountain is different."

Gu Nuanyi nodded. Since Chen Hanyu wanted to see it, she would take him to see it.
