"Well..." Xie Yunjiao licked her lips, "Let's just forget it."
Is Gu Huai crazy?!
Did he know she was a heavyweight? Carrying her? He was afraid she would crush him the moment he got on.
"Why are you still standing there? Come up quickly. It's not good for Doudou to disturb Aunt Tian's house for too long." Gu Huai turned his head and looked at Xie Yunjiao.
Xie Yunjiao laughed dryly: "No, I can leave."
Gu Huai frowned, grabbed Xie Yunjiao's hand, and pulled her onto his back.
Xie Yunjiao cursed in her heart, "Damn it! The big rock crushed the crab to death!"
But the horrible scene she imagined did not happen, and she crashed into a wide and safe back.
Before she could react, Gu Huai stood up and slowly walked forward carrying her on his back.
Xie Yunjiao came to her senses. She felt very safe leaning on Gu Huai's back: "Well, if you feel heavy, put me down."
"It's not heavy, you are very light." Gu Huai responded easily.
In order to make it more intuitive, Gu Huai quickened his pace while carrying Xie Yunjiao on his back, and he walked as fast as flying!
Xie Yunjiao was stunned. Gu Huai's leg was actually fine?
And he could walk so fast carrying her on his back!
"Gu Huai, your legs?"
"I don't know either. Anyway, climbing the mountain today was much easier than usual. I didn't feel tired at all."
Xie Yunjiao had the answer in her mind. It must be the effect of the spiritual spring water.
Unexpectedly, the spiritual spring water had such a great effect that it really cured Gu Huai's leg disease.
But the flow rate of the spiritual spring water is too slow. There is only one bamboo tube a day, which is not enough.
Gu Huai took Xie Yunjiao back to the village entrance, finally breathing slightly.
Xie Yunjiao hurriedly struggled to get off his back. As soon as she jumped down, she clearly saw a cloud of dust rising under the candlelight.
She twitched her lips in embarrassment. It seemed that it was her turn to drink the spiritual spring water to see if she could reduce the weight of this body.
Xie Yunjiao and Gu Huai went to Aunt Tian's house together to pick up Doudou, and returned the lantern to Aunt Tian.
This lantern was bought by Aunt Tian when her son got married. She has been using it until now, and Niu Niu is now two years old.
If there is a hole, just patch it up and it can be used again.
Xie Yunjiao looked at the returned lanterns and felt sad.
Her and Gu Huai's family are so poor that they don't even have a lantern at home!
No, she has to work harder to make money and improve their lives.
"Madam, are you reluctant to part with that lantern?" Gu Huai suddenly asked after returning home.
"That's not the case. I just think our family is too poor. We don't even have lanterns..."
Before Xie Yunjiao finished speaking, the smile on Gu Huai's face gradually disappeared: "I'm sorry, marrying me has made you suffer."
"No, that's not what I meant."
Xie Yunjiao hurriedly explained, "What I mean is that we should work together to make this little home better."
Gu Huai looked up at Xie Yunjiao in surprise: "Do you really think so?"
"What else? If I were really someone who is greedy for fame and fortune, do you think I would still be here?"
"My lady, you are so kind."
Gu Huai hugged Xie Yunjiao tightly. For the first time, Xie Yunjiao felt that he was so sincere and happy.
Doudou, who was sandwiched in the middle, was squeezed tightly between the two mountains. He felt very uncomfortable and couldn't help moving around randomly.
Gu Huai and Xie Yunjiao looked at each other and separated shyly.
"I'll take Doudou back to the room to sleep first." Gu Huai said.
"Then I'll go take a shower first." Xie Yunjiao hurried to the kitchen to get water.
When she was about to go back to the house after taking a shower, Xie Yunjiao hesitated at the door.
If Doudou hadn't interrupted them suddenly, I'm afraid they would have already been in a rage...
Thinking of this, she felt all the blood in her body rushing to her face, and her whole face was burning.
But if she didn't go in, she would have nowhere to sleep.
Besides, she has to go to town to work early tomorrow morning.
She tiptoed to open the door and walked into the room. There was a light on in the room because people were afraid that she would fall in the dark when she came in.
She glanced at the bed and saw that Gu Huai was already lying down, his chest rising and falling steadily, and it seemed that he had fallen asleep.
Xie Yunjiao felt a little disappointed, but also relieved.
With mixed feelings, she walked to the bed, turned off the light, took off her shoes, and lay down.
Suddenly, Gu Huai beside him moved, pulled Xie Yunjiao over and held her in his arms.
She was so scared that her eyes widened and her breathing slowed down!
So nervous!
"Don't be afraid, I just want to hold you and sleep." Gu Huai said.
Xie Yunjiao nestled in Gu Huai's arms. It was the first time that the two of them were so close, as if there was no gap at all.
So close, so close that she could feel his heartbeat and the faint breeze of his breath on her head.
She held her breath nervously, as if she was expecting something but also a little scared.
Gu Huai seemed to really do as he said, he just wanted to hold her to sleep, and he stopped moving.
After a while, she heard Gu Huai's long and slow breathing.
Xie Yunjiao felt very at ease and fell asleep in a short while.
She was so tired that she slept until dawn.
When she got up, Gu Huai had already prepared breakfast and was waiting for her to get up.
"My lady, you're awake now. Have some porridge and I'll go to town with you."
"Okay," Xie Yunjiao sat down to drink the porridge and found that there was meat in the porridge. It was the meat she brought back last night. "Why are you going to town today?"
"Sell the game you've caught."
"If you don't have much, I can sell it for you."
No need to make a special trip.
"I'm afraid you can't lift it." Gu Huai said, pointing to the cage beside him.
She came back late last night and didn't pay much attention, only to find that Gu Huai had made a lot of money yesterday, not only a wild boar, but also a few wild rabbits and a pheasant.
It is indeed unlikely that she could get these things to the town by herself.
"Husband, you are so capable." Xie Yunjiao couldn't help but praise.
Two suspicious blushes appeared on Gu Huai's dark face, and he smiled a little embarrassedly.
After breakfast, the two of them set off, leaving Doudou to play at Aunt Tian's house.
Xie Yunjiao said that she felt that it was not a good idea to keep Doudou at Aunt Tian's house all the time, as Doudou was not young anymore and could go to a school to study.
Gu Huai also felt that Xie Yunjiao was right, but it was not easy to send a child to school, and it cost a lot of money.
He used to live in the old Gu family and made a lot of money from hunting, but he used it all to support his younger brother Gu An's schooling. The family lived a tight life and could not even afford to eat meat.
His mouth was almost bland.
"Stop, line up, and show us your pass. No one without it will be allowed into the city."
As soon as they arrived near the city gate, they were stopped and there was a long queue in front of them being inspected.
"What's going on?" someone asked.
Xie Yunjiao was also very curious, and when she heard someone talking about what happened today, she quickly pricked up her ears to listen.
