Chapter 48 Touched, my parents always give without expecting anything in return

Zheng Yunsheng is indeed afraid of snakes.

After all, he grew up in the city with a silver spoon in his mouth and came to the countryside at the age of eighteen.

Although I have been living in the countryside for more than three years and have been lucky enough to see one or two snakes, I still can't help feeling fear for that eerie-looking species.

But even though he was scared, Zheng Yunsheng ran to Gu Qijiao very quickly after seeing the snake at the entrance of the cave.

At that moment, his worry about Gu Qijiao had far outweighed his fear.

Only after kicking the snake away did Zheng Yunsheng calm down, feeling belatedly frightened.

He just kicked the thing away, but it's a snake!

Zheng Yunsheng thought to himself, even a grown man like him was so frightened that his heartbeat quickened. Wouldn't Gu Qijiao be even more frightened?

Then he hugged Gu Qijiao and comforted her.

Originally, this should have been a good show of a hero saving a beautiful girl, but Zheng Yunsheng couldn't understand it. Why did he feel that Gu Qijiao looked at him with a little anger in her eyes?

"A good meal of meat was ruined by you." Gu Qijiao solved the doubts in Zheng Yunsheng's mind.

She pushed Zheng Yunsheng away, suppressed the emotions that suddenly surged in her heart, then turned around and went back into the cave.

When Gu Qijiao looked at the steamed bun that she had taken a few bites of earlier, she suddenly felt that it no longer tasted good.

Zheng Yunsheng stood at the entrance of the cave for a long time. At first, he really didn't understand what Gu Qijiao meant.

When he realized that the meat Gu Qijiao mentioned was referring to the snake that was half the size of his wrist, he couldn't help but twitch his lips.

In his previous life, he only knew that Gu Qijiao was very aggressive, but he didn't expect that this little woman could be so tough.

The rain lasted for half an hour.

When the rain stopped and the two went out again, it was already dark outside.

In rainy weather, night always comes earlier than in sunny weather.

The two did not dare to delay any longer. Even though the road was slippery, they just slid along and walked quickly.

They had not expected it to rain, nor were they used to walking at night. They did not bring torches, and they were determined not to get out of the forest before night fell completely.

Otherwise it will be troublesome.

Although this forest is close to human settlements and there are few wild animals, there are wild boars that are not afraid of humans and occasionally dig up food in the fields. You can still encounter them.

Fortunately, after eating the steamed buns in the cave, Gu Qijiao pulled some vines from the rocks and tied them to the soles of her shoes, so she did not slip when walking.

The two of them walked a little faster this time.

Zheng Yunsheng was still worried about Gu Qijiao. He walked in front on both the uphill and downhill routes, and walked behind Gu Qijiao on the uphill routes.

Fortunately, Gu Qijiao is now very careful and walks steadily step by step, and no accidents have occurred along the way.

However, even though they hurried, they still didn't get home before it got completely dark.

The couple's shoes were soaked, but fortunately it was not too cold in this summer.

But it wasn't far away. We just had to climb a hill and cross a flat grove of trees before we could reach home.

The forest was pitch black.

Zheng Yunsheng just held Gu Qijiao's hand and continued to move forward with her in the darkness.

늀When they thought they would have to grope their way through the entire journey in the dark, a few twinkling lights suddenly appeared on the top of a mountain in the distance.

It looks like a torch.

The two of them couldn't help but feel happy, thinking that they had run into people walking at night, they could ask them for a light.

They quickened their pace and continued to move forward.

After reaching halfway up the mountain, they finally met the people with torches.

After seeing the person holding the torch clearly, Gu Qijiao was shocked. She looked at Gu Dagan and Xie Jinxiang who were holding the torches in confusion:

"Dad, Mom, why are you here?"

"What if you don't come? It's dark and the roads in this forest are dangerous. What if something happens to you?" Gu Dagan said in a fierce tone.

But seeing that Gu Qijiao was fine, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out that it was getting dark, and Xie Zhenbei was afraid that Zheng Yunsheng and Gu Qijiao had not returned home yet, so when it was almost dark, he went to their yard to take a look.

When it was confirmed that the young couple had no home, Xie Zhenbei quickly notified the old couple of the Gu family, because Xie Zhenbei knew that family members of the Corps would not stay overnight when they visited.

Some city dwellers who go to the Corps to visit their relatives have to go to town and find a hotel to stay in at night.

Gu Dagan and Xie Jinxiang didn't know that the young couple had gone to the Corps.

As soon as they received the news, they panicked, and immediately took their hats, lit torches, and went out to pick up Zheng Yunsheng and Gu Qijiao.

Xie Zhenbei took care of Da Gan and Xie Jinxiang, who were old and worried that they might get into trouble on the road, so he also carried a torch and followed them out.

Fortunately, they passed through the grove and over a hill, and met Zheng Yunsheng and Gu Qijiao.

After the five people got together, they lit torches and walked back together.

Looking at the straw sandals with exposed toes on Gu Dagan and Xie Jinxiang's feet, Gu Qijiao felt very unhappy. They wore them like that deliberately to prevent slipping.

Gu Dagan had a daughter when he was old, and Xie Jinxiang was not young either. The combined age of the old couple was over a hundred years old, yet they still came out to pick her up late at night.

In the future, she must be fully prepared before doing anything.

Don't add such trouble to your parents anymore.

With the torches, the road was much easier to walk on, and the group reached the village entrance in no time.

Gu Dagan handed the torch in his hand to Zheng Yunsheng and said, "You must be tired after the journey. We will not follow you home. Let's go back and have a meal and go to bed early."

"Okay, Dad and Mom, thank you for your hard work. Go back and get some rest." Zheng Yunsheng took the torch from Gu Dagan and turned around to apologize to Xie Zhenbei:

"Captain, thank you so much for today!"

Xie Zhenbei said nothing, waved his hand, turned around and walked away.

Because Xie Zhenbei was present, Zheng Yunsheng was ultimately unable to retrieve the small piece of wood that he had hidden in the bushes.

The couple carried torches, waded through the muddy water, and walked towards home.

After entering the yard, Zheng Yunsheng and Gu Qijiao went to the house to change clothes first, and then Zheng Yunsheng hurried to the kitchen to light a fire and boil water.

Gu Qijiao was not idle either. She had some porridge left over from lunch, and she planned to heat it up and drink it in the evening.

Looking at the bland porridge, Gu Qijiao thought of her big snake and suddenly felt it was tasteless.

Zheng Yunsheng originally wanted Gu Qijiao to take a rest and let him boil water and cook by himself, but Gu Qijiao said that she wanted to finish it early and go to bed, so Gu Qijiao let her do it.

One of the couple was responsible for making the fire, while the other was responsible for heating the porridge and cooking.

Dinner was quickly finished.

After finishing the meal, Zheng Yunsheng took the bowls into the kitchen and looked at the boiling water in the pot. Zheng Yunsheng quickly twisted the bucket and brought a bucket of hot water into the house. He shouted to Gu Qijiao:

"Jiaojiao, take a bath before going to bed, or you will catch a cold tomorrow!"
