Chapter 11 Walking in the Mountains
The next day.
Xu Zhiyi saw that Old Mrs. Xu went out early in the morning. She seemed to be in a good mood and even changed her clothes before going out.
Thinking that Old Lady Xu was out, she could go outside and find out the situation without any worries!
After Xu Zhiyi went out, he strolled all the way to the end of the village. Occasionally he met a few villagers along the way. He greeted those who looked familiar to him, but ignored those who looked unfamiliar.
Suddenly a voice sounded from behind: "Sister Daya?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhiyi stopped and turned around, and saw that it was Wang Xiaohe from the village. The original owner was sixteen, and she was three years younger than the original owner. Usually, Wang Xiaohe liked to get close to the original owner. Chen Xiaohua had a fight with Wang Xiaohe.
The original owner was told not to have any contact with Wang Xiaohe, so the original owner was mostly indifferent to Wang Xiaohe, but Wang Xiaohe seemed to like playing with the original owner very much.
"Xiao He" Xu Zhiyi waved and greeted.
Wang Xiaohe saw that she had called the right person, and ran happily to Xu Zhiyi. But as if she remembered what she had heard, she quickly stopped smiling and asked, "Sister Daya, I heard from the villagers that your marriage with the Gu family has been cancelled... Is it true?"
"It's true, Gu Yun and I have broken off our engagement!" Xu Zhiyi nodded.
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaohe was immediately furious and said, "Sister Daya, so Chen Xiaohua is really shameless? Bah, Sister Daya is so close to her, but she actually stole someone else's husband behind her back."
Xu Zhiyi: "Well, who cares? You don't need to feel sorry for a man who can be snatched away. You should be thankful that someone has warned you in advance that he is rubbish."
"Haha, Sister Daya, you are right. It is because Sister Daya trusts her so much."
"Oh, Sister Daya, where are you going?"
Hearing this, Xu Zhiyi looked at the direction he was going, which was towards the mountain, and replied: "I'm going to walk around the mountain."
After hearing this, Wang Xiaohe took out a small piece of cake wrapped in oil paper from her bosom, handed it to Xu Zhiyi and said, "Sister Daya, this is the mung bean cake that my father brought back for me when his boss was holding a wedding. I ate two pieces this morning, and the remaining piece is for you."
Hearing this, Xu Zhiyi quickly waved her hand and refused, "Xiao He, keep it for yourself. I just ate two steamed buns at home and I'm very full."
"Sister Daya, you don't have to be so exaggerated when you say you're panicking. It's already good enough that your grandma can give you half a steamed bun, and there are two of them. Take it, and don't refuse," Wang Xiaohe said as she stuffed it into Xu Zhiyi's hands.
"Oh, really, I didn't lie. I've eaten a lot these days!" Xu Zhiyi looked at the pastries in his hand and hurriedly handed them back to Wang Xiaohe.
"Yes, yes, Sister Daya is very full now, so you can save it for when you are hungry!" After saying that, she made a face at Xu Zhiyi and ran away with a hop and skip!
Xu Zhiyi looked at Wang Xiaohe who was running away, then looked at the mung bean cake wrapped in oil paper in his hand. He held his forehead with his hand helplessly, and had to wrap it up and put it in his sleeve pocket first.
Xu Zhiyi climbed to the middle of the mountain and saw that all the grass on the mountain had dried up and all the small trees had died. Only on the tops of a few large trees could green leaves still be seen.
The village formed a team to look for water sources in the mountains every day. Looking at the situation, all the plants as far as the eye can see are dry and there is absolutely no possibility of water sources nearby.
Xu Zhiyi walked and stopped until he reached the deep mountains. He stopped only after walking for such a long time but found nothing to eat.
She stood on a high slope and looked far into the mountains. The trees in the mountains still had some green at the tips. Did it mean that there were still animals alive in the mountains?
Although she was also very curious, she was not an expert in martial arts and she did not dare to go deep into the mountains. If she encountered hungry large animals, wouldn't she automatically deliver food to them?
Just as she was about to walk down the mountain, she suddenly heard some movement beside her. She looked sideways and saw a young man in blue clothes.
Looking at his childish face, he actually looks a bit cute, but his complexion doesn't look very good, and if you look closely, you can see that his face is swollen?
“Ahem…”
When Xu Zhiyi heard the boy's cough, he came back to his senses and realized that he had been staring at him. He turned his face away awkwardly, stepped aside, and let him go down the mountain first.
When the young man saw Xu Zhiyi giving way, he didn't hesitate and went down the mountain first.
Xu Zhiyi looked at the figure hurrying down the mountain. Walking so fast? Was he afraid of being chased by a ghost? In the original owner's memory, he didn't have a deep impression of this person. He only knew that this person was from his village and lived at the end of the village. The original owner had hardly ever been there.
Because the Xu family didn't have any land there, the original owner basically never went there.
I walked around for half a day today but gained nothing. Why is she so miserable after traveling through time? Don’t the heroines in other novels get rich by relying on others?
When she got to where she was, the mountain was full of dead trees and grass, and the soil was so dry that it couldn't get any drier.
"Ah!!" When Xu Zhiyi was about to reach the foot of the mountain, he was frightened by the young man he had just met on the mountain, because he fainted halfway on the road.
He quickly squatted down and used his fingers to feel his breath. Seeing that he was still alive, he pinched his nose hard with his thumb.
“Ahem…”
Seeing that the person had woken up, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Awake?" Then he asked with concern: "What happened to you? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere else?"
The young man paused for a while and said, "Thank you, young lady. I'm fine." Then he picked up the bag beside him and stood up staggeringly.
Xu Zhiyi saw that the boy couldn't even stand steadily, so he subconsciously helped him up with his hand. Unexpectedly, because of this action, the boy was frightened and blushed and quickly dodged, but accidentally pulled the bag in his hand.
The bundle fell apart, and the boy saw the things that had fallen out of it, so he quickly squatted down to pick them up and put them back into the bundle.
After seeing the things on the ground, Xu Zhiyi turned pale. It was Guanyin soil!!! His bag was filled with a bag of Guanyin soil?
Is this what he eats to fill his stomach?
Xu Zhiyi watched the young man pick up all the Guanyin soil and bag it up, then stood up with difficulty, and soon sat down on the ground again. After a while, he took out a piece of Guanyin soil from the bag with shaking hands and started eating it directly.
"Don't eat this. If you eat it like this, your body will collapse and you will die." Xu Zhiyi quickly squatted down and snatched the Guanyin soil from his hand.
juvenile:"……"
When Xu Zhiyi snatched the food from his hand, he took out another piece from his bag and ate it.
Xu Zhiyi thought that he still wanted to eat, but she felt powerless. Guanyin soil, this was what she learned from history!
At that time, I just felt that the people suffering from famine could only eat Guanyin soil to fill their hunger. I just felt pity and sympathy for them, and at the same time I was glad that I was born in a peaceful era with enough food and clothing.
That was just what she saw in the textbook, and she just felt a little pity for it at the time, but she really couldn't empathize with the other feelings.
Suddenly she thought of something. Ah! She almost forgot that the mung bean cake Xiao He gave her was still there.
"Here, eat this! Eat this and you'll recover your strength faster." Xu Zhiyi took out an oil-paper bag from his sleeve pocket, opened it and handed it to the boy.
The boy just glanced at the mung bean cake handed to him, shook his head, stood up with his bag, and staggered towards the village.
"Hey...you..." Xu Zhiyi hurriedly wanted to call him.
The young man suddenly stopped and said softly, "I'm used to eating this Guanyin soil. If I suddenly eat such exquisite pastries, I'm afraid I'll get a stomachache. Wouldn't that be a waste? Thank you, young lady. I appreciate your kindness!"
After saying that, he quickened his pace and left!
Xu Zhiyi was helpless. He looked at the mung bean cake in his hand and suddenly his stomach growled. Oh, forget it. Did she eat it?
"Hey, Daya, where have you been? Are you okay these days?"
When Xu Zhiyi was about to return home, he saw Chen Xiaohua coming towards him. Looking at her beaming face, he was afraid that the Chen family and the Gu family had finally reached an agreement on the betrothal gift after a few days of arguing!
