Chapter 6 6. Wife
It’s different now. She can’t leave the senior alone, and before the plane crash, she couldn’t bring the senior in, which means that the space excludes outsiders.
"Okay, don't think too much, I'm here to keep you alive no matter what." When Gu Yuanyu said this, he felt very unsure. He secretly pressed his empty stomach. Although he took a few gulps of water, what good did it do?
Jin Qianqian felt a little awkward when she thought about their current relationship. She didn't know how to continue talking. She could only look at the ground in silence and move her feet forward mechanically.
"Eat this vegetable cake first. Look at you, you are just skin and bones. If I hadn't seen that you looked a bit like when you first entered the school, I wouldn't have been so sure that it was you."
Gu Yuanyu was a little worried. Jin Qianqian was like a walking skeleton. At that time, the seniors had spent a lot of effort to slowly bring this little girl back to a normal weight.
Jin Qianqian also thought about the year when she was in a daze and only cared about her own sadness. She had completely ruined her body and now she was back to her old ways.
She looked at Gu Yuanyu curiously, "When did the senior come here? Earlier than me?"
Gu Yuanyu observed the plants on the roadside as he walked, trying to see if there were any familiar wild vegetables. He also answered Qian Qianqian's question at the same time, "Just when I found the water, I was so excited that I lost my balance and fell, hitting the back of my head. This original body should have died at that time, so I got it.
Fortunately, I can still receive his memories, otherwise I would have to pretend to have amnesia. Judging from your previous reaction, you should have the same memories as well!
We'd better keep a low profile during this period and not change too much. You know, the wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated."
Jin Qianqian nodded in agreement. Although the information explosion was not as rapid as in later times, she did not dare to underestimate anyone. If anything was wrong, it would be a disaster for both of them.
"But luckily I still use the same name. Yours is different. Gu Yuanyu sounds like a girl's name."
Gu Yuanyu glanced at Jin Qianqian, who was smiling in gloating mood, and said with a smile, "This may really be fate. I studied for a few years and my teacher also gave me a name, Wenheng, Gu Wenheng, not a single word is wrong."
Jin Qianqian opened her mouth slightly, not knowing what was going on here.
It's normal to think about it. She is now living in an era where women are considered virtuous if they are not talented. It is normal for a young rural wife not to understand these things.
She looked up at the sky sadly. After more than ten years of studying hard, she didn't expect that she would be illiterate now.
"Wife, stop looking. It won't rain today." Gu Wenheng also squinted his eyes and looked at the dazzling white sky.
The word "daughter-in-law" frightened Jin Qianqian so much that she couldn't even move her feet. "Senior, although our identities have changed now, this is not what we want. Let's change the title."
Gu Wenheng glanced at her and said, "Do you think we can change our ways now? Besides, I seem to remember that someone just shouted that he liked me not long ago. He doesn't want to deny it, does he?"
Jin Qianqian's eyes were a little evasive. She thought that was the last moment of her life, but who knew that there would be such a strange opportunity.
"Really? You heard it wrong." Jin Qianqian said stubbornly.
Gu Wenheng: “…” You are still so shameless!
Gu Wenheng looked at Jin Qianqian who was gradually slowing down, and he also slowed down his pace, "I know you have a little mysophobia, but now is not the time to be stubborn, you must quickly replenish water, otherwise your body will not be able to hold on.
Don't worry! I always try to pick water from the middle layer.
There is no pollution in this era, and the water quality is not that bad, so there will be no diseases like those you imagine. "
Gu Wenheng took off the bamboo tube from his waist again and handed it to her.
"But which dynasty are we living in now? Apart from my memory of this town, I know nothing about the outside world." Jin Qianqian once again lamented the inconvenience of being illiterate. She now urgently wanted to know what dynasty the two of them had entered?
Gu Wenheng, however, challenged her, "Drink the water first, and I'll tell you."
Jin Qianqian gritted her teeth, closed her eyes and took two gulps, mainly because she couldn't hold on any longer.
"That's a bit strange," Gu Wenheng saw that she was sure she didn't want it, so he took the bamboo tube back and stopped forcing her. "In the history we have learned, this dynasty doesn't seem to exist. It seems to be between the Yuan and Ming dynasties. The current royal family is not recorded in history either."
When Gu Wenheng said this, he took a sip of water from the bamboo tube. However, Jin Qianqian stared at the bamboo tube with a dazed look.
Gu Wenheng raised his eyebrows and continued, "This is the Rong Dynasty, which was established not long ago. The founding emperor Hua Zhidong just passed away two years ago, and the new emperor Hua Shunming has not yet fully assumed power. It is said that there is a lot of internal strife among the higher-ups, so there has been no one to come to rescue us during the famine for so many years.
The writing hasn’t changed much. As long as you know traditional Chinese characters, you are not illiterate.”
Having said this, Gu Wenheng deliberately grinned at Jin Qianqian.
Fortunately, the young Gu Yuanyu saw the old scholar in the village fall into the river and threw a bamboo basin at him, saving his life. This gave him the opportunity to go to school for a few years for free. Otherwise, he would not be able to bear the consequences of Jin Qianqian's joke now.
It was a pity that he had just passed the examination to become a student, and the old scholar was already powerless, so he left him some books and passed away.
The Gu family has many brothers, and Gu Dashi and his wife are getting older, so it is impossible for them to find another good teacher to help him with his studies.
Jin Qianqian didn’t have the heart to pay attention to her senior’s teasing. She just felt that her legs were filled with lead, and every step she took was extremely heavy.
What made her feel even worse was that the water she had just drunk was sloshing around in her empty stomach. She just wanted to lie down and not be a damn refugee anymore.
As soon as this thought came to his mind, the will that had been supporting him disappeared, and he collapsed directly to the ground.
A trace of fear flashed across Gu Wenheng's eyes, and he quickly walked over to look at her worriedly, "How is it? Are you feeling unwell?"
As far as he could remember, the couple had only eaten one wild vegetable dumpling from yesterday till now, and it was a palm-sized piece that they shared between them.
What he had just taken out to give to Jin Qianqian was the last ration for the two of them.
Jin Qianqian shook her head, "I really can't walk anymore."
Gu Wenheng looked worriedly at the team in front of him, as well as the villagers who passed by them with indifference on their faces.
If the two of them hadn't caught up, the other people in the team wouldn't have asked any questions, because everyone was in a difficult situation now and some people had been abandoned along the way.
