"Madam, Doudou just told me that your master wanted to know if I have a butterfly birthmark on my body."
Xie Yunjiao was stunned. She didn't expect that Doudou had heard their entire conversation.
Could it be that Doudou told Gu Huai about her misunderstanding?
I don’t know if Doudou finished speaking. If he only listened to half of it, there would be a big misunderstanding!
"Actually, I really do have a butterfly birthmark on my body." Gu Huai muttered to himself.
He didn't know it at first. It was when he was a child, he was bathing with the villagers in the village river. As soon as he took off his clothes, he was laughed at, saying that he was a boy and had a butterfly on his butt.
And laughed at him for being a sissy.
To prove that he was not a sissy, he beat up the man who laughed at him.
Later, the man's parents came to settle the score with him, but the old man and his wife didn't help him at all. They just threw him out and let the family beat him up.
He was still young at that time and thought that his parents must have thrown him out because he was disobedient and hit someone.
Before Xie Yunjiao could react, Ye Baien, who was hiding at the door and eavesdropping, rushed in.
He excitedly grabbed Gu Huai's hand, his eyes misty, and his lips trembling as he said, "Child, I finally found you."
Gu Huai looked at Ye Baien with white hair, and the light in his eyes flickered.
"Are you my father?"
"What are you talking about? Your father is much better than me. He is a rare talent, handsome and majestic. He is the dream lover of many girls." Ye Baien said.
The heroic figure emerged in his mind, and that figure slowly overlapped with Gu Huai in front of him.
He thought of many possibilities, but he never imagined that Gu Huai was so similar to that person!
If the person in the capital saw Gu Huai, he would definitely know that Gu Huai was that person's son!
"So, you know my father? Then can you take me to see my father?" Gu Huai asked, his expression becoming excited.
Ye Baien pursed his lips and shook his head: "Your father is gone."
"Gone?" Gu Huai thought about many possibilities of reuniting with his parents. He always had a wish in his heart, wanting to see his parents and ask them why they didn't want him in the first place.
But he never thought of the possibility that his father had passed away.
It was as if a blazing fire was suddenly poured with a basin of cold water, and with a crackling sound, the fire was extinguished.
It almost drained all his strength.
Xie Yunjiao stood behind him and let him lean on her, otherwise he would have fallen down long ago.
With his last hope, he looked at Ye Baien and asked cautiously, "What about my mother?"
A glimmer of light flashed in Ye Baien's eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "He's gone too."
The last bit of strength was drained away, and Gu Huai seemed to be floating in mid-air. He walked with an airy gait, as if he was not touching the ground and could fall at any time.
Xie Yunjiao was worried and chased after him.
"Gu Huai." Xie Yunjiao called out.
Gu Huai turned his head to look at Xie Yunjiao and smiled at her: "I'm fine."
Although he was smiling, the smile did not reach his eyes. It looked too forced!
Xie Yunjiao knew that he was sad, so she walked over and held Gu Huai's hand.
Only then did I realize that his hands were ice cold, as if they had no temperature at all.
"You are not alone. You have me and Doudou. We are a family. We will always be there for you."
The warmth in Xie Yunjiao's hand gradually warmed Gu Huai's hand. He seemed to be full of strength again. He squeezed Xie Yunjiao's hand hard and said to her, "Thank you, my wife."
"Child, if you are willing, I will teach you everything I have learned in my life." Ye Baien said.
He was entrusted by someone to come out of the capital just to find Gu Huai.
He searched along the river and looked in many places, but couldn't find it.
He had given up and thought Gu Huai had died in the disaster that year.
But he never expected that Gu Huai was still alive, not only alive and well, but also married and had children!
If that person's spirit is in heaven, he will definitely feel comforted.
"Will you teach me medical skills?" Gu Huai knew that Ye Baien's medical skills were very good, and Xie Yunjiao learned medical skills from him.
But he had no interest in this at all. Asking him to recite a bunch of random herbal names and effects, as well as all the acupuncture points and so on, would be worse than killing him!
He is really not good at studying!
"Of course not. Besides my excellent medical skills, I also know martial arts. If you are willing, I can teach you." Ye Baien said.
He found that Gu Huai was very strong and had very quick reactions, but he had not practiced martial arts systematically, so his moves were rather chaotic and had weaknesses everywhere.
If he had not been shocked by Gu Huai's appearance today and his moves had not been a little slow, he would not have been subdued by Gu Huai.
If he wanted to go to the capital to fight that person with his current strength, it would be extremely difficult.
So he wanted to teach Gu Huai some basic martial arts first.
Gu Huai was delighted. He didn't expect Ye Baien to know martial arts!
"Then doesn't it mean that both my husband and I have to take you as our master?" Gu Huai asked.
"That's not necessary. I don't want to mess up the generations. I'm Yun Jiao's master, and your uncle."
Ye Baien said silently in his heart, I let the child call me uncle, you won’t mind, right?
"Okay, I'll call you Uncle Ye," Gu Huai said excitedly, "Shall we start practicing martial arts now?"
"Now?" Ye Baien's face changed, and he rubbed his hungry stomach and said, "I thought you invited me here today and there would be a lot of delicious food, but in the end, all I had was a few mouthfuls of soup. Although it tasted good, there was no oil at all. I peed right after I drank it."
He looked at Xie Yunjiao and said, "Girl, do you understand what I mean? I'm hungry!"
"Master, you'll have to endure hunger for a while because our pot is broken." Xie Yunjiao said helplessly.
She looked at Gu Huai and said, "My husband, why don't you go find the blacksmith and see if they have any extra pots and sell us one first."
Gu Huai nodded: "I'll go now."
Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, Ye Baien naturally has to treat them well.
"I'll go knead the dough, make some buns, and then cook some porridge."
In this way, even if there is no pot, you can still eat your fill.
Doudou ran out happily following Gu Huai, and Ye Baien also went out.
But he didn't say what he was going to do. He just said that he would be back at dinner time and asked Xie Yunjiao to cook dinner and wait for him.
After a while, Gu Huai really came back carrying a big pot, but this pot was not a new pot, but an old one.
"The blacksmith said he still needs to make a new pot, so he'll lend us an old one first."
"Okay, let's use it first." Xie Yunjiao had no choice. Although to change the pot, she had to knock off the yellow mud that was originally stuck on the edge, put the pot in, and then stick new yellow mud on it, so that the pot could be placed steadily on the stove.
