Chapter 19: Meeting an acquaintance at the foot of the mountain
Gu Jin took Xiao An in his hand and came to the foot of Qingluan Mountain. He breathed in the fresh air and felt refreshed and relaxed all over.
This comfortable feeling made her beautiful face reveal an expression of laziness and enjoyment.
Under the morning light, Gu Jin looked stunning at this moment.
An Mingji looked up at her, looking a little infatuated for a moment. Everyone likes beautiful things, no matter adults or children.
A person with good looks is destined to give people a good first impression.
Gu Jin glanced at the forest of trees and smelled the fragrance of the budding trees in spring.
She glanced at An Mingji and smiled softly: "Come on, let's go for a walk in the mountains."
"good."
An Mingji held her hand tightly and responded obediently.
The two of them walked toward the edge of Qingluan Mountain and took a leisurely stroll, feeling quite relaxed.
Until a person came up the path up the mountain, Gu Jin stopped and looked at the other person.
He was a rough-looking man, carrying a rope and tools on his back, and holding a rabbit and two pheasants in his hands, all of which were covered in blood and looked dead.
The man who came down the mountain was also a villager from Qingshan Village. His name was Du Aiqing. When he saw Gu Jin and An Mingji, he was obviously stunned.
Especially An Mingji, he was familiar with him, the kid often wandered around the village.
At this time he was no longer dirty as before and was wearing clean clothes.
Looking at the girl standing next to him, her features could not be clearly seen due to the distance, but I could tell that she was a graceful young lady.
As he got closer, he saw what the girl was wearing. He didn't know why the girl was wearing patched clothes, but Du Aiqing sensed something out of place on her.
This girl has something that doesn't belong to the villagers of Qingshan Village. It is a temperament that makes people feel alienated and even ashamed of themselves.
Even though the girl had a friendly smile on her face, it couldn't hide her uniqueness.
As for what the difference is, Du Aiqing really can't say for sure.
"Brother Du——"
Gu Jin looked at Du Aiqing who was coming over and called for help.
The reason why she recognized the other person was that there was only one family in Qingshan Village who dared to go up the mountain, and that was the Du family.
The Du family are good hunters and often go up the mountain to catch hares, pheasants, birds and other meat to improve the meals at home.
Yesterday she heard from her aunt that the boy from the Du family was attacked by wild boars when he went up the mountain and died a few days after he was carried home.
She also knew about this, but it was a long time ago in her memory, and she wouldn't have thought of it if her aunt hadn't mentioned it.
There are two sons in the Du family. The one who left is the younger son. The man coming down the mountain carrying a hare and a pheasant is the eldest son of the Du family.
Even after more than 20 years, the man's face was still familiar, and she believed she would not make a mistake.
When Du Aiqing heard Gu Jin calling someone, she also recognized her.
"It's Ah Jin, why are you here? The animals are all getting irritated at this time of year, go home quickly."
Spring is the time when animals are in heat, which is a period of restlessness and strong aggressiveness.
Gu Jin narrowed his eyes and showed a nice smile to Du Aiqing who was walking in front of him: "Well, we won't go into the mountain, just walk around the foot of the mountain."
Looking at the girl's beautiful face, Du Aiqing also liked her very much.
He is a married man, so naturally he would not have any inappropriate thoughts about Gu Jin. He just likes beautiful people and things.
Du Aiqing immediately picked up a dead pheasant in her hand and handed it to Gu Jin: "Here, take it home and cook it."
"No, no, how can I take Brother Du's things?" Gu Jin waved his hand to refuse.
