Don't panic in a famine, I live in the mountains with my golden finger

Chapter 331 Sheltering in the Forest

Gu Qinghan restrained his smile and took Xu Yuan into his arms.

"Ayuan, I feel like we have too little time to spend together. I have to leave here in a few days, and then I won't be able to see you for a while. I want to take this time to see you more."

"Ayuan, last time I said I would find a puppy for you, I'm sorry, I didn't find it. Can you wait for me for a while?"

Gu Qinghan put his head on Xu Yuan's shoulder and spoke gently.

"Gu Qinghan, I'm not in a hurry about the puppy. It's getting late. Go back and have a good rest." Xu Yuan broke away from Gu Qinghan's arms and said softly.

Holding Gu Qinghan's hand, he said, "Let's go. I was inconsiderate and exposed myself late at night."

Gu Qinghan was a little stunned. This was the first time Xu Yuan held his hand. He couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips. He wrapped his big hand around Xu Yuan's hand and smiled softly.

In the blink of an eye, I was back in the wishing room.

Xu Yuan took off the clothes on his shoulders and handed them to Gu Qinghan, "Put them on, don't catch a cold. Don't come so late next time."

"Well, then don't go into the woods so late next time." Gu Qinghan took the coat and put it on, then touched Xu Yuan's head.

He lowered his eyes to look at Xu Yuan, "Ayuan, are you feeling better?"

Xu Yuan was stunned by the question, then he reacted and replied unhappily: "Do you think I look bad?"

Gu Qinghan raised his eyebrows. It seemed that the method A Niang said was still useful.

"Okay, then I'm leaving. See you tomorrow." Gu Qinghan didn't stay long. He said something to Xu Yuan and went out through the window.

Xu Yuan closed the window that was wide open a little, lay down on the bed, looked at the ceiling, and was unable to fall asleep.

……

At dawn.

The pheasants in the chicken coop not far from the vegetable garden have adapted to the local customs and started crowing for a new day.

The fog in the forest gradually dissipated, and the vegetables in the vegetable garden were covered with dew. Xuyuan picked a handful of bitter wheat leaves and threw them into the chicken coop.

I picked a handful of fresh and juicy Chinese cabbage, washed it with the water from the small pond, and brought it into the kitchen.

Xu Zhi sat in front of the stove watching the fire, and occasionally got up to stir the porridge in the pot.

"Sister, are you going to make dried fish today?" Seeing Xu Yuan coming in with the washed cabbage, he took the fire rack and picked up some burning firewood and placed it on the stove above the iron pot.

Xuyuan opened the lid, scooped a bowl of water, poured it into the pot, and scrubbed it.

"Let's wait a few days. Let's let the stove air out first. Today we're going to weed."

The weather has been good during this period, and not only are the crops growing well in the fields, but the weeds are also growing wildly. The pepper and peanut seedlings planted earlier have already grown sprouts. The sweet potato seedlings are rhizomes, and they have taken root and are growing very well. The sweet potato leaves planted in the vegetable garden, whose leaves are only eaten, can also be picked and eaten after a while.

"Good morning, elder sister!"

After the cooked porridge and a dish of fried bok choy were served on the table, Xuanyu and Heguozi tidied themselves up and went into the kitchen, greeting Xuyuan and Xuzhi in unison.

Xuyuan waved, "Come over for breakfast after you've washed up. You have to go to school today, don't forget."

"Sister, are you going to make dried fish today?" Manyu asked excitedly.

This stove was built with the help of Brother Gu. If you want to make dried fish today and I can't help, I will have to call Brother Gu to come and help on behalf of my elder sister.

"No hurry, wait a few days, let the stove dry first." Xu Yuan put a chopstick of vegetables into the bowls of the two people who were eating Japanese confectionery, and said, "Eat it."

……

"Grandpa, how are you?"

Pan Dahai helped up Uncle Pan who had accidentally fallen from the hillside and asked anxiously. A bundle of dry branches had already rolled to the side.

"It's okay, Dahai. I'm old and confused. I didn't pay attention to my feet. Help me up."

"Grandpa, did you rub anything?"

Pan Dahai helped Uncle Pan up and brushed off the dust and weeds on his body.

"Don't underestimate me, kid. I'm still in good health. Let's go. We still have two loads of firewood to deal with. Don't waste time."

Uncle Pan bent down and took off his straw sandals, pouring out the mud in them. "Maybe these sandals are slippery. Really, I just forgot to change them when I went out."

"Grandpa, don't move." Pan Dahai said in a low voice to Grandpa Pan with a look of surprise, and took out the bow and arrow on his back.

When Grandpa Pan saw his grandson's behavior, he understood what was going on. He was afraid that he had encountered something good, so he slowed down his movements, gently turned his head, and looked behind him.

There was a little creature lying in the dense grass at the back. Uncle Pan looked into its two big round eyes and his gaze became brighter and brighter.

It was a gray hare.

It's strange that it doesn't run away when it sees people.

Isn't this just a free deal?

"Dahai, hurry up."

Seeing that his grandson had been staring for so long and hadn't moved his hands, he hurriedly urged him to do it.

This food is delivered to your door. If you miss the opportunity, you may not be able to sleep well at night.

"whoosh"

The arrow feathers flew away.

One hit.

"Grandpa, it looks like this rabbit was injured by someone. The flesh on its hind legs is exposed." Pan Dahai picked up the wild rabbit in the grass and saw that its hind legs were covered in blood.

"Then we are getting a bargain, and we are lucky." Uncle Pan weighed the rabbit in his hand and laughed happily.

"Come on, let's take it back for a snack."

……

"Qinghan, are we getting closer and closer to the deep mountains and forests? There's not much sunlight left."

"You realize it now?"

Why didn't he stop shouting? Gu Qinghan was afraid that something had happened to Li Junyong, so he followed him.

"Ah, isn't it still chasing that damn hare?"

Li Junyong scratched his head and felt a little embarrassed.

"By the way, there are a lot of good things growing here." Li Junyong looked at the wood ear growing on a rotten wood and was somewhat surprised. He put down the backpack on his shoulder and began to pick the good things growing on the rotten wood.

Gu Qinghan looked around and found nothing dangerous.

I also started picking wood ears.

Under the damp tree, I found some mushrooms that looked very much like shiitake mushrooms and picked those as well.

When we had almost finished picking and were preparing to return the same way, unexpectedly the weather was not good.

A fog rose in the woods, and rain began to fall through the gaps between the trees.

The two had no choice but to hide under a big tree and did not move around, waiting for the fog in the forest to dissipate.

The forest, which was already dark without sunlight, now felt like midnight.

The backpack that Gu Qinghan carried was not empty. It was filled with hay and firewood that he had picked up along the way.

In the dark forest, there is a burning fire.

The two sat around the fire, waiting for the rain to stop.
