Chapter 68: The cave monster twists its fat waist and stretches its short legs. ...
The wooden door was pushed open, and a beam of dazzling flashlight light shone in.
Gu Rong was blinded by the sting and still had a small child's mask on his face. The moment the door was opened, 006 helped him put the mask into the system backpack.
Old Man Gu came in from outside and turned on the light, and the pitch-black room was instantly illuminated.
Old Man Gu turned off the flashlight and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Gu Rong still lying obediently on the bed, wrapped up well.
As he walked, the tumor on his head swayed.
Gu Rong could not see the tumor, only the mosaic, but as the old man Gu walked, he saw a group of mosaics swaying above Gu's head.
Huh?
Gu Rong tilted his little head curiously, his face looking confused.
Old Man Gu was very tired after working for half a day. He did not immediately take care of the kid on the bed. Instead, he sat down at the wooden table and poured himself a bowl of water to moisten his throat.
Gudong, gulp, he drank two bowls in one breath, then old man Gu put down the bowl and looked at Gu Rong lying on the bed.
Gu Rong didn't feel it before, but now when he saw Old Man Gu drinking water, he found that he was also a little thirsty. Not only thirsty, but also hungry.
Gu Rong said crisply: "Let the cub go!"
Now that you're back, why don't you let the cubs go?
Old Man Gu had heard Gu Rong speak before, and listening to him again now still found it novel.
The main thing is that this little baby voice sounds quite cute. People in Gujia Village, both men and women, are a group of big and strong rough people, and there are no children. Not to mention this silly child, who is fair and tender, it really makes people can't help but feel pity for him.
Otherwise, Gu Rong would have been abandoned long ago, and no one would have looked for him if he ran away. Who would take the time to raise a little fool?
Old Man Gu slowly stood up, walked to the bed, untied the bow for Gu Rong, and let him out of the quilt.
Gu Rong was wrapped up for a long time. Although he fell asleep, he maintained the same posture, so his arms and legs were inevitably stiff.
He stood up and moved around, twisting his chubby waist and stretching his calves.
Old Man Gu turned around and sat back at the table, muttering, "Let you out to eat something first, I'll have to take you back later. I have to go out for a while and I don't know when I will be back, so stay home and sleep well."
He took out a piece of cake from the bag at his feet, put it on the dirty table, and waited for Gu Rong to take it and eat it.
Gu Rong had slept for the entire afternoon, so how could he still be sleepy? Besides, he still had a mission to complete.
When I heard that Old Man Gu was going out, maybe to attend the bonfire party, I immediately said, "Rongrong is going too!"
Old Man Gu was stunned for a moment and snorted coldly: "You little fool, do you know why I'm going there? I tell you, the tourists have arrived and the village chief is receiving them. Do you think I'm going out for fun?"
"I've been busy moving things all afternoon, and I have to get up early tomorrow to take tourists to the lower cave. How can I take care of you? Just stay home and don't cause any trouble."
Gu Rong pouted and said unconvincedly: "You call me a little fool, so I will call you an old fool."
Old Man Gu: “…”
Old Man Gu stared wide-eyed. He didn't expect Gu Rong to talk back.
Perhaps because he was too surprised, he forgot to be angry for a moment. He looked Gu Rong up and down for a while. Why did he feel different from before?
Before Old Man Gu could figure it out, Gu Rong jumped out of bed. He wasn't afraid of Old Man Gu, and ran to him, tilting his head back, and said, "Rongrong wants to go to the bonfire party too. Rongrong will sleep all afternoon, he's not sleepy!"
When he said "not sleepy", he shook his head.
When Old Man Gu heard this, his face turned grim: "Who told you there was a bonfire party? Is that big fool here again?"
Um?
Gu Rong tilted his head, his little face confused. What kind of big fool is that?
When Old Man Gu came back, Gu Rong was still lying in bed, and there was nothing wrong with the door lock. It was certain that no one had sneaked in, and Gu Rong had no ability to get out.
I guess only the big fool from their village had been here and told Gu Rong through the window that there was a bonfire party.
Apart from the big fool, no one plays with the little fool.
After figuring this out, Old Man Gu's face turned even uglier, and he blew out a breath from his nose: "If you keep playing with the big fool, you will become a big fool when you grow up."
Gu Rong hugged the little arm and said, "Hmph!"
Old Man Gu said, "Hurry up and eat the cake and go to sleep. If you don't obey, I will throw you into the cave to feed the monsters."
Although Gu Rong was angry, he would not go against the food. He was not so particular about food. He grabbed the cake on the table with his little hands and took a bite.
The cakes are crispy on the outside and glutinous on the inside, and they are quite delicious.
Gu Rong ate cakes and said incoherently, "Baby, you're thirsty. Drink some water."
Old Man Gu poured another bowl of water and fed it to him.
After Gu Rong finished drinking the water and eating a piece of cake, Old Man Gu wrapped him up again and put him on the bed.
Gu Rong patted his belly and said, "I'm not full!"
Old Man Gu said, "Even if you're not full, you have to sleep. When you sleep, you won't be hungry. I'll bring you something delicious when I come back."
"Rongrong is going to the bonfire party!"
Gu Rong tilted his head, unmoved and stubborn.jpg
Old Man Gu narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Gu Rong for a while, and snorted coldly: "Okay, I'll take you there. If you dare to run around, I'll break your legs."
Old man Gu said threatening words, angrily dug out a worn and pilled sweater, and put it on Gu Rong roughly.
The sweater was very thick. After Gu Rong put it on, she turned into a small ball. Her neck was no longer visible, and her calves and arms looked even shorter.
Old Man Gu locked the door and left with Gu Rong by his hand.
*
Gu Rong did not take the old man Gu's threats seriously. By going to the bonfire party, he could complete his first task and join in the fun.
The little guy loves to be lively and doesn't want to stay alone in a dark room, tied up and unable to move.
[Ding, congratulations to NPC Zizi for completing his first mission. You'll receive 50,000 points and a child safety helmet.]
[Children's safety helmet: also known as a small children's helmet, with a face mask. Wearing it on the head will protect the head and face from any degree of injury.]
[Functions: Night vision, farsightedness (can see a small ant 1000 meters away), precision scanning (can identify scanned objects), lighting (the helmet has a light-up mode), oxygen supply (can provide sufficient oxygen).]
Old Man Gu was standing next to him, and the children's helmet was put into the system backpack by 006.
The first task was completed easily. Gu Rong shouted "Yeah" and started jumping and skipping, looking very lively, with his little arms swinging.
Old Man Gu glanced at him and asked, "Are you really that happy to come out to attend a party?"
It was late autumn, and Gujia Village was located in a mountain valley, so the temperature was very low at night.
Gu Rong was wearing a thick sweater and didn't feel cold at all.
Gu Rong was led by Old Man Gu, stumbling all the way to the bonfire party.
This is on an open grassland behind the village. In the distance is Shenzhong Mountain. The light is dim at night and the view is not clear, but Gu Rong does not affect the vision and the outline of the mountain can be vaguely seen.
Gu Rong tilted his little head, looked left and right, then opened his eyes wide and exclaimed "Wow", very surprised.
This mountain actually looks like a person lying flat on the ground, and he can even see the head!
There are facial features on a person's head. Gu Rong doesn't understand bone structure, but he feels that the big brother lying there is good-looking!
Even from the side profile formed by the long arc of the mountain, Gu Rong could tell that this person was very young and was an older brother!
Gu Rong broke free from Old Man Gu's hand, ran a little to the left, and looked at the mountains.
Old man Gu was shocked. What did he say when he came out? This bastard!
Without waiting for Old Man Gu to chase him, Gu Rong ran back by himself, this time running a little further to the right, still looking at the mountain.
Wow!
Gu Rong opened his mouth into an O shape in amazement.
No matter where you look at it from, this mountain looks the same, just like... the eyes of a person in a photo. No matter how the person moves, as long as they look at the camera, they are still looking at you.
This feeling was extremely strange. Gu Rong was young and didn't understand it, so he just thought it was fun.
Seeing that Gu Rong was just looking at Shenzhong Mountain and not running around, Old Man Gu breathed a sigh of relief, but his expression was still not very good. He held Gu Rong's hand and said, "Don't run around!"
Gu Rong was held by the old man Gu's hand. He pointed at Dashan with his other little hand and said with bright eyes: "Grandpa Gu, look, Dashan is like a big brother!"
It was the first time that Old Man Gu was called "Grandpa Gu" by Gu Rong. He was stunned and the words that were on the tip of his tongue were stuck. A strange feeling flashed through his heart.
This little fool actually knows to call me grandpa.
Old man Gu had a fierce look on his face and spoke harshly, but the little boy didn't care, didn't hold a grudge, and didn't show any displeasure.
When Old Man Gu spoke again, his tone was much softer. "This is Shenzhong Mountain. I see it every day. It's not the first time I've seen it. What's so strange about it? Only outsiders would dare to come all the way here."
Gu Rong didn't know whether he heard what Old Man Gu said or not, as his big eyes were already attracted to the bonfire scene.
In the open space ahead, a bonfire more than two meters high was set up, and dozens of people formed a circle around the bonfire.
Gu Rong had good eyesight and saw at a glance that there were a lot of drinks and delicacies on the table, and an uncle was roasting a leg of lamb, with a rich aroma.
Gu Rong pointed with her little finger and wanted to run over.
Old Man Gu was on guard this time and held his little hand tightly. There were so many people around and they didn't dare let him run around again.
"If you keep running around, it won't be the lamb leg roasted on the grill, but you, little kid." Old man Gu said habitually.
Gu Rong knew that Old Man Gu was just trying to scare him, so he wasn't afraid. He looked at him eagerly and said, "I'm hungry!"
Old Man Gu: “…”
After Old Man Gu finished speaking, he actually felt a little regretful. He had never felt this way before. This feeling of regret made him puzzled. Could it be that this kid called him grandpa?
Old Man Gu didn't think much about it and took Gu Rong towards the bonfire.
When he got closer, Gu Rong noticed that it was not just Old Man Gu, but many people had mosaics on their heads and faces. When they walked, the mosaic-covered objects swayed.
Gu Rong was puzzled and raised his little finger: "What is that?"
Old Man Gu immediately pulled his little hand back and lowered his voice: "Don't point randomly."
Gu Rong's vision was blurred, and he couldn't see that many people in front of him had tumors of varying sizes on their heads and faces, just like the one on Old Man Gu's forehead.
Everyone in Gujia Village has a tumor on their head and face. Rather than being hereditary, it seems more like a... curse.
