"What's up?"

Perhaps the warm gaze was too hot, Wu Ruiming was very sensitive to her scrutiny.

"Ah? Nothing, I just felt a little emotional when I looked at this place!"

"Feeling emotional? What's there to be emotional about? It's just a wasteland!"

Wu Ruiming frowned slightly, feeling a little worried. Could it be that Wen Nuan discovered something?

"After my grandparents passed away, their courtyard became deserted. Although it's not as wild and desolate as here, it's not much different."

Although Wen Nuan's words were a bit exaggerated, they were actually quite true. The reason why the Qi family courtyard was not requisitioned was because it was too dilapidated.

Wen Nuan even suspected for a time that the house was damaged on purpose by Wen Changming in order to conceal his whereabouts and make it easier for him to hide the treasures.

I have to say that sometimes, warm intuition is still very correct. If the housing situation in the city is tight, Qi's house would naturally be ignored.

Wen Changming would feel at ease if he hid the things too far away, but he was afraid that Tan Xiulian or Wen Nuan would find them if he hid them in his own home. So after careful consideration, he decided to continue burying them in the Qi family's courtyard.

But he didn't expect that after all his careful planning and efforts, it would be in vain in the end. Now all the things have entered the warm space, and he has nowhere to look for them.

Ten years! How many decades does a person have in his life? Moreover, it is still unknown whether Wen Changming can walk out of the labor camp alive.

"Sorry to bring up your sad memories!"

Wu Ruiming was somewhat annoyed by his own suspicion. After all, no one knew the secret buried beneath the ruins of the Wu family.

"It's okay. It's been many years since the incident. I have nothing to be sad about. By the way, has Xingzhou woken up?"

Thinking of the child who was rescued from the river, Wen Nuan showed some concern for him.

"He's still asleep. I didn't wake him up. I'm so sorry for you this time. Xingzhou is a complete landlubber!"

"Then why did he go to the river to play? I didn't see any other children around!"

Wu Ruiming pursed his lips, looking a little embarrassed.

"He probably wants to look for duck eggs, not for fun!"

"Wild duck eggs?"

Wu Ruiming nodded.

"I heard him muttering about it last night, but I had already told him to go to the river, but he went there under the pretext of picking mushrooms..."

Wu Ruiming looked annoyed, as if he was regretting something.

Wen Nuan looked at him, then looked at the surrounding environment, and perhaps she understood why Wu Xingzhou went to pick wild duck eggs.

"The child's original intention was good, and this time it was just an accident. When he wakes up, you should talk to him properly. He will remember the lesson this time, and he won't be so reckless next time!"

"Thank you. If you had shown up at that time, I really couldn't imagine what would happen in Xingzhou. If an accident really happened, I really wouldn't have the face to see my brother and his wife!"

"Don't be like this, Xingzhou is fine now. He is so sensible. This kind of situation will never happen again in the future!"

"I hope so. It's my leg that's holding this child back..."

After Wu Ruiming finished speaking, he felt something was wrong. He had only met the person in front of him twice, so why did he say so much on impulse?

"I'm sorry, I was so excited that I made you listen to me talk so much for nothing!"

"No, I was the first to mention it. Is this the room Aunt Cuifen was talking about?"

Wen Nuan pointed to a room in front, which was the only room left in the ruins.

"Yes, it's right here. The houses next to it have collapsed, and only this one is left. I personally think it's still a bit dangerous. I hope you will consider it carefully."

Wen Nuan looked around and indeed, this place was not suitable for her to live in.

There were ruins all around, and the wall at the back had collapsed, so basic safety was guaranteed.

"Aunt Cuifen said you guys are living in a stable now?"

"Yeah, that's the only place to live here!"

Wen Nuan nodded, but was a little curious.

"It's okay in the summer, but what will you do in the winter? Is it cold?"

As soon as Wu Ruiming saw Wen Nuan's expression, he knew that she had misunderstood.

"I have renovated the stable, so it is suitable for living. If you are curious, you can go and take a look!"

"Is it convenient?"

"It's not that convenient, it's just a look!"

"That's disturbing!"

Following Wu Ruiming, they turned a corner and the stable appeared in front of Wen Nuan.

This stable was exactly the same as the stable Wen Nuan had thought it was. Wen Nuan had originally thought it was just a simple straw shed.

I didn't expect that after Wu Ruiming's renovation, this is now a thatched house!

The walls on all four sides were solidly built with adobe, and the roof was covered with layer upon layer of straw. Although the area was large, it was more than enough for the uncle and nephew to live in.

"So that's how it is! I thought...haha, I misunderstood!"

"It's okay, this is normal. Wen Zhiqing can walk around freely. I'll go in and see if Xingzhou has woken up!"

"Okay, go ahead, I'll just stay here and take a look!"

Seeing that Wen Nuan had no intention of going in, Wu Ruiming subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, pushed open the door, and quickly walked into the room.

Lying on the simple wooden bed, Wu Xingzhou trembled and opened his eyes.

"Uncle..."

"Xingzhou! You're awake! How do you feel? Where else do you feel comfortable?"

Wu Xingzhou shook his head, his eyes full of fear.

"Uncle, I'm sorry, I did it on purpose!"

"It's okay, it's okay, as long as you're okay. This time, it's all thanks to Wen Zhiqing. If you really want to, you can't imagine it! Xingzhou, promise your uncle that you will go to the river again before you learn to swim, okay!"

Wu Xingzhou nodded slowly, remembering the nest of wild duck eggs he found before falling into the water. Although he was a little reluctant, he still agreed.

"I know. I will go to the river again until I learn to swim!"

"Good boy, I'll teach you how to swim when your uncle's leg is healed. Once Xingzhou learns, you won't have to be afraid of water anymore. Yes, yes!"

"Um!"

After comforting his nephew, Wu Ruiming took a bag from the cabinet and walked out.

Wen Nuan was also ready to leave at this time. She had already looked around the house. After Wu Ruiming entered the house, she looked around again. This place was indeed perfect for her to move in.

Therefore, if she wanted to leave the educated youth camp and live alone, she had to make other plans. After all, as a female educated youth, she should put safety first, and more importantly, avoid suspicion.

"Wen Zhiqing, are you leaving?"

As soon as Wu Ruiming came out, he saw Wen Nuan's back as if she was about to leave, and hurriedly called out to stop her.

"Ah! You came out! Is Xingzhou awake?"

"Yes, he is awake. I coaxed him for a while, and seeing that he is in great spirits, I let him sleep for a while. When he is well, I will let him thank you in person!"

"That's what I mean. It's getting early, and I should go back to the educated youth camp. I'm sorry to have troubled you today. I originally wanted to go to the back mountain, but I didn't expect to end up here!"

"It's okay, go to that room, you..."

Wen Nuan naturally knew what Wu Ruiming wanted to ask, so she waved her hand and said:

"Forget about the room, it's really too suitable. I'm also anxious. Let's talk about it later!"

"Oh, okay, you should think carefully about living alone. After all, the countryside is not as safe as the city."

"I see. Thanks for the reminder. I'll be leaving now. Bye!"

"etc!"

Wu Ruiming handed the thing in his hand to Wen Nuan.

"This is a thank you gift for saving Xingzhou!"

Wen Nuan looked down and saw two canned peaches and a bottle of maltose in the net bag, which were all valuable things.

"I don't want this, you can keep it for Xingzhou to replenish his body!"

"Take it. It's specially prepared for you. I will take good care of him in Xingzhou. If you accept it, I will feel good about it."
