Chapter Twenty-Seven Winter Storage
During the meal, Gu Zuozuo noticed that Qi Meng and the other person would steal glances at her from time to time. She was very careful in her every move, and she didn't even dare to drink her porridge loudly. Her expression was sometimes sad and upset, and sometimes sad and sympathetic.
"What do you two want to say? Speak!"
Don't keep sneaking peeks at her, or she'll get a chill down her spine.
"Zuo Zuo, don't be sad, you still have us! My parents are your parents too! My brother is your brother too!"
Meng Tian patted her chest, her tone solemn.
Gu Zuozuo suddenly realized what had caused their strange behavior so early in the morning. Thinking of her parents and the original owner of the body who had long since passed away, her originally cheerful mood turned somber.
"I'm fine. I had a feeling about this."
The emotional obsession left behind by the original owner has almost completely disappeared after the last episode. Apart from occasional chest pains, there is nothing seriously wrong.
Although she inherited the original owner's memories and could resonate with her emotions to some extent, she was still not the original owner. Even if she had all the original owner's memories and emotions, she could never truly understand that feeling because they had never lived together.
In her past life, she almost desperately exploited herself so that her mother could enter the Gu family openly. However, her mother only cared about her father, who only had the family in his eyes and heart, and never spared any effort to care about her, her daughter.
She had never experienced or understood the love of her parents.
Qi Meng and the other looked at each other, speechless for a long time, but they felt even more sorry for her for pretending to be strong.
Gu Zuozuo...?
Feeling sorry for them, Gu Zuozuo looked at the two people in front of her who, despite not being very strong, were still stubbornly carrying a large bundle of firewood, and sighed with a headache.
How could she explain that she was genuinely not upset, not sad, not forcing a smile, and not silently enduring unbearable pain to bring these two imagined sisters back to normal?
"Is anyone there? Help!"
Gu Zuozuo's ears twitched, and she suddenly looked towards the direction of the pine forest on her right. She waved her hand to signal the two to be quiet and calmed down to listen carefully to the sounds coming from that direction.
"Is anyone there?! Help!..."
Is this Ma Liang's voice?
"You two stay here and don't wander off. I'll go check out what's going on over there."
As he spoke, he swept away like a gust of wind, leaving Meng Tian's outstretched hand frozen in mid-air.
"She's riding on wheels of fire? So fast!"
Ma Liang clutched his broken leg, tears streaming down his face. It was all his fault for being careless and forgetting to check the trap sign. Not only did he fall in, but he also dragged a stranger down with him.
"Waaaah... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."
Ma Liang cried miserably, sobbing and sniffling, his swollen eyes looking at the pale, thin, and haggard man beside him.
Xie Changzheng gave a bitter smile. His worthless life was no longer worth anything, but the child was still young and had a long road ahead of him. It would be a real pity to see him fall and then ignore it, letting him fend for himself.
"It's okay, don't worry, someone will come to rescue you."
Ma Liang pouted, looking even more aggrieved.
This is where hunters set traps. Few people usually come here to gather firewood or wild vegetables. Even if they do come, they mostly stay on the outskirts and never venture in, for fear of falling into a hunter's trap.
I'm having a really bad day. I got tricked and ended up here. I fell right down. I wonder how worried Grandma will be if he can't get back by noon.
