Chapter 311 I will be a hardworking ox and work hard
However, it took too long and was tied too tightly, and his disorganized movements made the situation even more chaotic.
"Let me do it." Gu Nan put his hands behind his head and untied the knot bit by bit.
A slightly cool breath surrounded his body. Chunyi closed his eyes, sniffing the chill that pierced through the bloody smell, and felt as if Gu Nan was hugging him.
After the cloth strips were removed, Chunyi's eyes, which had not seen the light for three months, could not adapt for a while. She squinted her eyes, trying to find Gu Nan's face in the vague light.
Her eyelashes trembled constantly due to the stinging pain, tiny tears wet the corners of her eyes, and a hint of warm light was reflected in her deep eyes, with a moving color, a beauty that broke through the dimensional wall.
Gu Nan couldn't take his eyes off her and asked with a smile, "Why are you crying?"
Junyi raised his hand to block.
Gu Nan grabbed his wrist and said, "Don't, it looks good."
Junyi wanted to say something but stopped himself, and a thin layer of red slowly appeared on his pale face.
"That smoke is too choking." He said softly.
Gu Nan didn't expose him, but lowered his gaze to examine the injuries on his body.
This injury was similar to the last, but far more severe. The blood soaking through his robes came primarily from a wound on his left neck, likely involving an artery. Even with Chunyi's incredible recovery abilities, blood was still flowing.
Gu Nan wanted to cover his wound, but he really didn't know how to start.
She was covered in blood, not a single clean spot. I could melt half of her body with just one touch.
"I'll go find some herbs for you to apply." Gu Nan stood up and was about to leave.
Chunyi gently hooked one of Gu Nan's little fingers and said, "It's okay, just sit for a while."
He carefully wiped the blood from his fingertips in the muddy water, being very careful, fearing that his blood would hurt her again.
"Gu Nan..." He murmured, his low and hoarse voice sounding like calling and sighing.
Gu Nan looked at him, "What?"
Junyi didn't say anything, as if he was just calling her name.
His eyebrows and eyelashes were thick and dark, and the slightest compression made him look aggressive. But at this moment, his narrow and long phoenix eyes were filled with tears, with a hint of kindness when the eyes were closed, and he looked at her intently and tenderly.
He was silent, as if he had many unspoken words, and he extended a reserved invitation to her.
The monk was moved, but didn't say a word of love.
There is only a pair of eyes that break through the forbearance and the desire to grow vigorously.
Gu Nan's heart moved slightly, and she gently held his face, "I want to kiss you."
Junyi was slightly surprised, but before he could react, he felt a soft coolness on his lips.
It was a very light kiss, without entanglement or depth, gentle and peaceful, without any hostility.
This seemed like a signal, indicating that the period of hurried struggle had come to an end and a new chapter had officially begun.
A chapter that belongs only to him and Gu Nan.
Chunyi's heart suddenly became extremely calm. She closed her eyes slightly and gently kissed Gu Nan's lips with her dry lips.
"Do you miss me?" Gu Nan asked.
Junyi's Adam's apple rolled as he wanted to answer.
However, Gu Nan beat him to the punch, "I miss you, Chunyi."
Junyi's lips trembled slightly, and his cold body suddenly emitted waves of warmth from the inside out. His throat tightened, and he tried many times before he could make a weak sound.
"Me too."
There was still only a vague shadow in the blurry vision, but it seemed so warm in this damp and cold night.
He unconsciously raised the corners of his lips, but the curve was too subtle and no one knew it except himself.

Chunyi was seriously injured, so Gu Nan decided to let him recuperate on the mountain first, and then go down the mountain after the wound had healed and scabbed.
Gu Nan built a temporary awning, found some vines to weave a hammock, and covered it with leaves to keep it out of moisture and insects.
She also picked a lot of wild fruits and mushrooms, dried the ones she couldn't finish, brought them down the mountain, and gave them to Junyi to eat for a long time.
Junyi was ordered by Gu Nan to stay in bed, so he could only guard the fire every day and watch Gu Nan climb up and down the mountain, filling the awning with things one trip at a time like a squirrel.
After three days, he said he would not lie down anymore. He took apart the hammock, gathered up the things Gu Nan had saved, put them on his shoulders, and went down the mountain.
The mountain road was rugged, and the two walked for another three days before finally getting out of the mountain.
The villagers who were tilling the soil at the foot of the mountain thought they were seeing things when they first saw Junyi coming down the mountain, not to mention that he was carrying a mountain of mountain products on his back. Wow, that was a lot of stuff.
Looking at Gu Nan behind him, he reacted and slapped his thigh. Everyone said that Gu Nan went crazy and ran into the rain and disappeared. It turned out that she went up the mountain to find a man.
So within just a cup of tea, everyone in the village knew that the man at the end of the village was not dead, and the woman was not crazy, and they all came back!
The neighbor's wife came over to visit enthusiastically. Seeing the blood on Junyi's clothes, she was so scared that she kept shouting, "Oh my God, there's so much blood. This trip must have been a disaster!"
Junyi nodded and greeted her, then went into the house with a stern face to change clothes.
The clothes he took off before leaving were washed clean by Gu Nan and folded neatly at the head of the bed. He held them up with both hands, buried his face in joy and restraint before unfolding and putting them on.
During this time, I listened to Gu Nan and his neighbors talking, and it seemed as if they were an ordinary couple in the countryside.
He pursed his lips and smiled, then took the dirty clothes to the river to wash them.
As we walked further away, we could still hear Gu Nan talking to his neighbor: "Yes, he washes most of our clothes. He's diligent, strong, and washes them clean. Haha, sister-in-law, please stop praising him. He's a dull person, and no amount of praise will make him happy..."
When he came back after washing, he saw several benches in front of the house. Gu Nan was surrounded by several women. His little face was full of smiles. He spoke in a very serious and excited manner.
"Well, I don't know his personality. He's just an old ox, who only knows how to work hard. I still have to take care of everything at home and outside."
The women nodded repeatedly, and when they saw Junyi coming, they smiled at him. There was some indescribable secrecy and teasing in their smiles, which made Junyi feel itchy on his back.
"Xiao Gu, you can't let down such a good girl like Anan. Get married quickly. The aunts are waiting for your wedding banquet."
After saying that, several people looked at each other, laughed so hard that they fell forward and backward, and said goodbye hand in hand.
Junyi:?
He looked at Gu Nan with a confused look on his face, "Who is Xiao Gu?"
Gu Nan held his stomach and laughed, "Guess?"
Junyi: “…”
He didn't know what Gu Nan said when he went out to wash clothes.
He suddenly became Xiao Gu, and Gu Nan became Anan.
Anyway, based on his understanding of Gu Nan, he definitely doesn't say many serious words.
He hung the clothes up and rolled up his sleeves while asking Gu Nan, "What do you want to eat tonight?"
"You can do it as you see fit." Gu Nan folded up the bench and prepared to send it back to the next door.
There was nothing at home, so if I wanted to cook, I had to dig yellow mud and build a stove first.
This room is not enough, we need to build a kitchen, so we can only make do in the back of the house for now.
After delivering the stool, Gu Nan leaned against the wall and watched Chunyi build a stove with mud. His movements were quick and organized. Those who knew him said he was a monk, while those who didn't thought he was just an experienced mason.
"Are you planning to live here for a long time?" Gu Nan asked with a smile.
Junyi lowered his head and worked diligently on the clay. His deep voice lacked any emotion. "Well, I'll be the hardworking old ox, working hard. I'll leave everything around the house to you, and you'll take good care of it."
