Chapter 7 7. Life-saving food
"Seventh Brother, stop dawdling there and catch up quickly." Gu Li gritted her teeth and shouted when she saw the two people who fell behind.
Gu Wenheng couldn't shout to Gu Li for a while, so he said vaguely, "You go first, we will catch up later."
Gu Li glanced at Jin Qianqian and muttered, "They are all troublesome."
Gu Dashi also sighed, "Their food rations must have run out, and the seventh brother's wife is in very poor health. She was the slowest on the road."
Gu Li touched the cloth bag on her body, gritted her teeth, and walked towards Gu Wenheng and the others.
"Old lady," Gu Dashi just started to speak when he was stopped by Gu Yuanlei, "Dad, let's go to the tree in front and wait for mom. The sun won't be so hot over there."
"Oh," Gu Dashi hesitated for a moment and continued to follow Gu Yuanlei.
Jin Qianqian looked at Gu Wenheng and said, "Senior, I really can't walk anymore. My feet won't obey me."
Gu Wenheng put down the things on his back and said, "Then I'll carry you. Even if we walk slowly, we have to wait until we can rest before stopping."
"Carry, what are you carrying?" Gu Li looked at Jin Qianqian with disgust, "Don't you think about your body? With so many bags, how can you carry a living person?
I really owe you guys in my previous life. I am so old and still have so much to worry about."
She carefully untied a cloth bag from her waist, looked back at the team in front of her, and made sure that the other daughters-in-law did not look back, and then threw the things directly between the couple.
"This is the last time I will help you. From now on, life or death is up to you." Li Cuicui glanced at the small cloth bag reluctantly, "You should also save some for me. This is life-saving food."
Without waiting for their reaction, he turned around and walked forward, not forgetting to urge them, "Don't rest for too long. Our family is already at the back of the team. If we fall behind any further, we will really fall behind."
"Thank you," Gu Wenheng murmured, "I will repay you in the future."
Even though the two had not experienced it personally, they knew how precious this small bag of rations was now.
Gu Wenheng carefully opened the bag and looked at the several wild vegetable balls lying quietly inside. This wild vegetable ball was a little smaller than the one he had left, but if he was a little more frugal, it could still last for a few days.
"Eat one first! Otherwise your body won't be able to bear it." Gu Wenheng had never felt so powerless as at this moment. He, Gu Wenheng, would always think twice in his mind for such a bite of food.
Jin Qianqian gritted her teeth and took one out. Before she decided whether to tell Gu Wenheng about the space, it was more important to save her own life first.
As soon as Jin Qianqian took the wild vegetable ball into her mouth, she almost vomited it out. It was bitter, astringent, and full of sand and gravel, but it was life-saving food.
Gu Wenheng raised his hand and touched her head. He understood her current mood and said, "Just make do with it for now. When we have a break, go find some other wild vegetables."
When he said this, Gu Wenheng was also very unsure. According to his memory, this road was full of refugees fleeing, and the fields and mountains close to the official road had already been plundered over and over again by the people ahead.
If you really want to find some food, you can only go to remote or farther mountains.
Jin Qianqian swallowed the wild vegetable ball in her hand with difficulty. Regardless of her previous disgust, she grabbed the bamboo tube and took another big sip of water. Only then did she feel a little better.
"I'll go look for it with my senior when the time comes." Jin Qianqian also wanted to continue looking for food and try to see if she could smuggle some things out.
Gu Wenheng reached out and helped her stand up. "You need to change the name. Calling her senior sounds too strange."
Jin Qianqian turned her head to look at him, "Is it light rain or heavy rain?"
Gu Wenheng squeezed her hand as if to punish her, "Husband, Brother Heng, choose one."
Jin Qianqian felt as if she had been electrocuted and felt goop all over her body.
"Gu Wenheng, or Gu Yuanyu?"
"Have you ever seen anyone call their husband by his full name? If you really dare to call him that, people will find it even more weird."
Gu Wenheng pretended to support the frail Jin Qianqian and held her to his side openly, "And I also think there's nothing wrong with us being husband and wife. Don't forget that here, we are the closest people.
Besides, I haven't forgotten someone's previous confession of love. I accepted all of it, and you can't deny it."
Jin Qianqian's skinny and withered face actually turned red. Although she said so, at that time she thought that it was the last moment for them both, so why did the senior still hold on to her?
"You don't really want to deny it, do you?" Gu Wenheng saw that the pedestrians in front and behind him were relatively far away, so he became a little bolder. "Are you planning to abandon me after having fun with me? I listened to your confession and responded to you at that time. You can't just ignore it."
Jin Qianqian suddenly looked up at him, asking herself over and over again in her mind, "Is this true?" He responded.
Gu Wenheng lowered his voice and said, "You little fool, I guess the whole department knows how I feel about you, but you're the only one hiding in your shell all day long."
There was a flash of doubt in Jin Qianqian's eyes. Apart from taking better care of herself than others, there was nothing special about the senior.
Gu Wenheng, "Li Tianai and the others protected you very well, fearing that I would hurt you again. They warned me more than once that I could not confront you without my family's consent."
When Gu Wenheng said this, he looked up at the sky. His family must have received the news of his plane crash by now. As an unfilial son, he would disappoint them again.
Fortunately, the elders and brothers and sisters in the family can fulfill their filial duties on my behalf, and with several nephews and nieces, I believe that my parents will be able to get over the pain soon.
Things are a foregone conclusion, this is the only way he can comfort himself.
"So did you come here specially to take the same flight with me this time?" Jin Qianqian had a bitter look on her face. It seemed that she was the one who had implicated her senior this time.
The senior is the male god in many people's hearts. He is not only good at studying and good-looking, but also has a better family condition. He originally had a bright future, but now he is implicated by himself and has to go through these difficult days.
Gu Wenheng could guess what she was thinking. He grabbed her palm and pressed it hard. He felt that the touch of the bony skin was a bit rough.
"What are you thinking about? I have a lot of things to deal with back home, and there is only one flight back that day. This is all fate and has nothing to do with you."
This girl is always nitpicking. If I don't explain it clearly now, I don't know how he will feel guilty in the future.
Jin Qianqian had made her own decision in her heart. Since the two of them were destined to be tied together, she could no longer hide it.
