Seeing that Gu Lin had also fallen asleep, Yu Xiaoxiao lowered her head and kissed Gu Xinglang on the forehead a few more times, whispering to herself, "I'm not sad."
Not sad, because Her Royal Highness the Princess knows very well that it is useless to be sad at this time.
"But damn it," Yu Xiaoxiao whispered to Gu Xinglang again, "Xiao Gu, I feel like crying right now."
Even though we know that being sad is useless, how can one control one's emotions?
Gu Xinglang woke up from his sleep at dawn, and when he opened his eyes, he found that Yu Xiaoxiao was not beside him. Startled, Gu Xinglang sat up.
Gu Lin was still sleeping at the other end of the fire, wrapped in a thick blanket, his whole body curled up into a ball.
Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Gu Xinglang turned his head to look at Gu Dong who was sleeping beside him. He reached out to touch Gu Dong's forehead and found that Gu Dong's fever had subsided and the temperature of his forehead was very cool.
Heaving a sigh of relief, Gu Xinglang looked past Gu Dong and looked at Gu Shan, who was sleeping close to Gu Dong. He had no fever, his breathing was steady, and there was no blood on the white gauze wrapped around his throat. This made Gu Xinglang believe that Gu Shan's condition was better than Gu Dong's.
Carefully, he pulled up the thick blankets covering Gu Dong and Gu Shan, added a lot of firewood to the fire, and then Gu Xinglang walked out of the cave with light steps.
The heavy rain had stopped by then. There was no more sound of raindrops hitting the branches. The dense forest was silent. Gu Xinglang stood in the open space at the entrance of the cave and could hear his own breathing.
After looking around and not seeing Yu Xiaoxiao, Gu Xinglang felt uneasy again. He stood in the open space and called out, "Xiaoxiao?"
"Here," Yu Xiaoxiao's voice came from the forest behind Gu Xinglang.
Gu Xinglang heard the voice and turned around, and Yu Xiaoxiao appeared behind him.
"Xiao Gu," Yu Xiaoxiao didn't wait for Gu Xinglang to react, she tiptoed and kissed Gu Xinglang on the lips.
Gu Xinglang was caught off guard by Yu Xiaoxiao's kiss. He wiped his lips and whispered, "Where have you been?"
Yu Xiaoxiao said to Gu Xinglang mysteriously: "I found a good place, do you want to go with me to have a look?"
Gu Xinglang looked at the dense forest behind him. After walking in the dense forest in the heavy rain, he no longer had a good impression of forests with lush trees.
"Do you want to see it?" Yu Xiaoxiao asked.
Gu Xinglang nodded. No matter what it was, as long as Yu Xiaoxiao liked it, he would try his best to like it.
Yu Xiaoxiao took Gu Xinglang into the dense forest behind the cave. There was still mud flowing in the forest and the road was not visible.
"Where are we going?" Gu Xinglang asked Yu Xiaoxiao.
"There," Yu Xiaoxiao pointed forward.
Gu Xinglang looked forward in the direction of Yu Xiaoxiao's finger. There were nothing but trees in front of him. Young Master Gu didn't see anything special.
Yu Xiaoxiao took Gu Xinglang through the bushes. A flock of birds flew past the two of them, allowing Gu Xinglang to hear the only sound in the forest. Then he found himself standing on the crown of a tree.
"How is it?" Yu Xiaoxiao asked Gu Xinglang.
Gu Xinglang looked at the small wooden house in front of him and asked in surprise: "Why is there a house here?"
A small wooden house was built between two branches of the big tree that stretched out as far as they could. Due to its age, the wood had turned white due to wind and rain, but the doors and windows were still there, and it looked like it could still shelter from the wind and rain.
"It might have been built by a hunter." Compared to Gu Xinglang's surprise, Yu Xiaoxiao seemed quite unconcerned. There must be ferocious beasts in this forest, and building the cabin on the top of a tree is a very safe choice.
Gu Xinglang looked at the wooden house with curiosity and said, "This is the first time I've seen a house built on a tree."
"This is called a tree house," Yu Xiaoxiao pushed the half-open door and called to Gu Xinglang, "Xiao Gu, come in and take a look."
Yu Xiaoxiao's appearance made Gu Xinglang smile and said, "Xiaoxiao, are you the owner of this wooden house?"
"Well," Yu Xiao said, "Anyway, the owner of the tree house is not here right now. The road is so difficult to walk on, he won't come these days. At worst, I can leave two steamed buns for him when I leave."
Two steamed buns were already a huge price for Yu Xiaoxiao. Gu Xinglang smiled and shook his head.
"Come in and take a look," Yu Xiaoxiao pulled Gu Xinglang into the wooden house.
There were many animal skins piled up in the wooden house, the most eye-catching of which was a complete tiger skin spread on a wooden board.
Yu Xiaoxiao squatted down and fiddled with the dying fire in the brazier, and the fire suddenly became vibrant again.
Gu Xinglang looked at the wooden house that was easy to recognize and exclaimed, "People can actually live in this."
Yu Xiaoxiao looked up at Gu Xinglang. If the wooden house can't be lived in, then why would the people who built it go to all the trouble?
Gu Xinglang squatted down and touched the thick tiger skin.
Yu Xiao: "Xiao Gu, this leather is worth a lot of money, right?"
Gu Xinglang's hands froze and he said, "Is it bad for us to take it away?"
Yu Xiaoxiao chuckled and said, "I'm just asking. If it's valuable, I'll find a tiger too. Is tiger skin more valuable or bear skin?"
The corner of Gu Xinglang's mouth twitched, as if both of them were quite valuable.
Yu Xiaoxiao pulled out two pheasants covered with mud from under the fire. As soon as she cracked the mud off, the aroma of the beggar's chickens made her drool.
Gu Xinglang took over the work in Yu Xiaoxiao's hands and said, "Let me do it."
"I'll go catch a few more later," Yu Xiao said, "and let Xiao Linzi and the others have a taste too."
Gu Xinglang said: "Can Xiao Dongzi and the others eat chicken now?"
"Cook chicken soup for them," Yu Xiao said, "We'll eat meat, since they are the injured." It sounded like Her Royal Highness the Princess was getting a great advantage.
Gu Xinglang pulled off the chicken leg and handed it to Yu Xiaoxiao.
Yu Xiaoxiao opened her mouth and took a bite.
Gu Xinglang said: "Delicious?"
"It's delicious," Yu Xiaoxiao nodded.
There was a pot on the fire, which had been used for a long time and had turned black all over. Gu Xinglang lifted the lid of the pot and saw that the water inside had not yet boiled.
"Rainwater?" Gu Xinglang asked Yu Xiaoxiao.
Yu Xiao: "There is a river in the forest. I have seen it. There are many fish in it."
Gu Xinglang quickly looked at Yu Xiaoxiao and asked, "Did you go to the river to catch fish?" Would his wife let go of the food if she saw it?
Yu Xiaoxiao shook her head this time and said, "I caught the pheasant, so I'll use the fish as food reserves. I'll catch them and eat them later. Or do you want to drink fish soup and eat grilled fish, Xiao Gu?"
Gu Xinglang hurriedly shook his head and said, "I can eat anything." The weather in the nursery was much warmer than outside, but it was winter after all. What if he got frozen while going into the water to catch fish?
After finishing the fish soup and grilled fish, Yu Xiaoxiao suddenly realized that she wanted to eat these two things. She threw the chicken bones in her hand into the brazier. Yu Xiaoxiao said to Gu Xinglang: "I'd better catch two more. Xiao Gu, you must want to eat them."
Gu Xinglang...
