Yun Muye was training in camouflage uniform. He hid behind a big tree and merged with the tree. Suddenly, he heard someone shouting for help. The voice was very soft and could not be heard without listening carefully. He looked around vigilantly and found a parachute hanging on the tree behind him, but no one was seen.
Yun Muye was worried that someone was in danger, so he went over to check. He only heard voices but didn't see anyone. Just as he was about to look elsewhere, he heard a voice saying:
"I'm hanging from the parachute, look up."
Yun Muye raised his head and his eyes widened instantly. A small man the size of a palm was hanging there, swaying back and forth in the wind. Yun Muye couldn't believe what he saw. He rubbed his eyes hard and looked again. The small man was still swaying in the wind.
Seeing that he was just in a daze and didn't save anyone, Gu Zhinian got angry and said, "Please save me! I'll give you a lot of money!"
Yun Muye reacted, climbed up the tree in two or three steps, and carefully untied the parachute. Gu Zhinian was completely exhausted and sat slumped in Yun Muye's palm.
“I’m so tired!”
Yun Muye was about to ask something when his comrade ran over and said, "Muye, what are you doing? Why are you climbing up a tree?"
Gu Zhinian's body tensed with fear. He looked at Yun Muye for help and said silently, "Please don't expose me."
Yun Muye subconsciously hid Gu Zhinian so that no one could see him. He jumped down from the tree and explained in a calm tone,
"There's a parachute hanging from it. I came over to take a look."
"Where are they?" Yun Muye replied guiltily as his comrades looked around.
"I don't know. I only saw a parachute."
His comrade patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let's go! It's time to assemble!"
"good."
Gu Zhinian sat in Yun Muye's large clothes pocket, her heart was tense. She didn't know where her brother had gone. She was so young that her brother couldn't find her even if he wanted to.
After the field training, Yun Muye brought the little guy back to the dormitory. As the company commander, he had a separate dormitory and was not afraid of the little guy being discovered.
Yun Muye took her out of his pocket, put her on the table, lowered his head, and subconsciously lowered his voice for fear of scaring her.
"Who are you?"
Gu Zhinian tidied her hair carelessly, blinked her eyelashes nervously, and looked up and said, "My name is Gu Zhinian. I'm traveling and I'm in danger. Please don't tell anyone. I'm afraid of being discovered."
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
Yun Muye didn't know what was wrong, but when he saw her for the first time, he felt very strange, as if he had known her for a long time. Before his brain could react, his body subconsciously protected her.
Being in this strange place with a stranger made Gu Zhinian feel very uneasy and worried. She was eager to see her brother and subconsciously kept herself smaller, only in this way could she better protect herself.
"I'm hungry! Do you have anything to eat?"
"Yes! Wait a moment."
Yun Muye searched through boxes and drawers, and took out a piece of peach cake from the cabinet and handed it to Gu Zhinian. The peach cake was bigger than Gu Zhinian. Yun Muye was afraid that the peach cake was too big and would weigh her down, so he held it for her. Gu Zhinian picked up the peach cake with both hands, opened her bright red little mouth, and took two bites of the peach cake crumbs. Her stomach was full, so she looked up and asked him,
"Excuse me, do you have any water? My mouth is so dry."
"Yes, wait a moment."
Yun Muye put down the peach cake and looked around, but couldn't find a smaller cup, so he had to take out the enamel pot and pour water for her. Gu Zhinian stood on tiptoe, holding the edge of the enamel pot with both hands, and drank the water in big gulps. Yun Muye held the pot carefully, fearing that she would fall in and drown.
After eating and drinking, Gu Zhinian raised his hand to scratch his head and said in confusion:
"It's itchy. I want to take a bath. Could you please prepare a clean big bowl for me with warm water? I will give you money when I find my brother."
"Need not."
When Yun Muye heard her say she wanted to take a shower, his face flushed red. He turned around and took out a clean, unused enamel bowl from the cabinet, poured warm water into it and placed it on the table.
"What else do you want?"
Gu Zhinian looked at the tattered clothes hanging on his body and spoke awkwardly,
"Have you any clean handkerchiefs? Give me a few if you can."
She wanted to make a skirt to wear. Her house was full of small clothes and small shoes. Whenever she became small, she would wear the small skirt and small shoes. Her parents and brother would always fight to hold her and seemed reluctant to let her go.
"This..." Yun Muye said, "There's only one thing. Take a shower first. I'll go out and buy you something right away. Just take a shower and I'll lock the door. No one will come in."
"Thank you." Gu Zhinian bowed to him, and Yun Muye dodged.
"It's okay, I'm going out."
Yun Muye took the money, drew the curtains, locked the door, and rode out on his bicycle. Gu Zhinian heard the sound of the door being locked, and felt relieved. He took off his tattered clothes and climbed into the bowl skillfully to take a bath.
Soaking in the warm water, her fatigue eased and she missed her brother even more. Gu Zhinian washed quickly, took a handkerchief to wipe her body clean, and looked at the tattered clothes beside her. She was in a dilemma. The used handkerchief was a little wet, and she had no choice but to tie it around her body first.
Gu Zhinian climbed down the chair. Next to the chair was a single bed with a neatly folded white shirt on it. Her eyes lit up and she wanted to put on the white shirt to cover her body. The distance between the chair and the bed was only twenty centimeters, which was not friendly to her ten-centimeter body. Gu Zhinian got into a jumping posture, trying to jump onto the bed in one go. If she fell, it would be terrible.
Gu Zhinian made up her mind and jumped forward, landing right on the edge of the bed. She didn't care about being happy, but nervously grabbed the bed sheet and climbed up. She ran to the white shirt, pulled out the clothes and put them on with great effort. The collar was too big, so she hid in the sleeves of the shirt. She took off the wet handkerchief and threw it aside. Gu Zhinian sat on the bed and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Finally I've covered my entire body. I felt so insecure being naked."
After a while, there was a knock at the door. Gu Zhinian was so frightened that he shrank into his sleeves. Yun Muye came in and closed the door, holding more than a dozen handkerchiefs of various colors and a bag of delicious food. He looked around and saw no one. Yun Muye was startled, wondering if he had fallen into the water and drowned.
"Gu Zhinian!"
"I'm here!"
Gu Zhinian showed her face from under the clothes, her face was white with a rosy glow, her eyes were as confused as a lost kitten, her long wet hair was draped over her body, covering her fair shoulders. Yun Muye took a breath and turned around.
"I bought everything you wanted. Here you go."
Yun Muye closed his eyes and threw the handkerchief on the bed, opened the door in a panic and ran out. Gu Zhinian climbed out of the sleeve, picked up the handkerchief, chose a favorite color to make a skirt, and used another handkerchief to make a top, and made two wide bras, like ancient Hanfu. After drying his long hair, he tied a big bow with a handkerchief.
