Seeing the men in their village behaving so shamefully, and then looking at Gu Zuozuo and Meng Tian standing calmly by, they felt even more ashamed of them.
"Alright, alright! Stop dawdling! Hurry up and carry it down!"
The able-bodied men took out the thick hemp ropes and wooden planks they had brought, tied the wild boar to the planks, and lifted it up, straining so hard that the veins on their necks bulged out.
Just as Gu Zuozuo and her companion bent down to pick up the firewood, several young men with faces almost as red as monkey bottoms came up. They glanced at Gu Zuozuo and her companion, stammered for a long time without saying a word, and then took the firewood and carried it behind them. They even put the chestnuts that Gu Zuozuo and her companion had just picked up on the ground into the bags they were carrying.
Seeing that all six bundles of firewood and chestnuts she had collected had been taken, Gu Zuozuo didn't object. Wasn't it good to have someone help with the work? After all, she was the one who hunted the meat, and since they had eaten her meat, it was only right that she help them with this little bit of work.
Finally, Gu Zuozuo glanced discreetly at the corner where the Tibetans were hiding, then turned and followed the group down the mountain in a grand and joyful manner, leaving behind only a mess and two people lying motionless in the grass.
Wang Ming...?
Zhao Yan...?
Did they complete their covert mission? So many people didn't even notice them.
"Wang Ming..."
"Shut up! The boss is here!"
Xie Jinyu stood quietly in the corner. His worn clothes could not hide his elegant demeanor. His light phoenix eyes swept over the two people lying there. Although they were affectionate eyes, the two people being looked at broke out in a cold sweat.
No one knew how long he had been standing there; at least Wang Ming and the other person hadn't noticed when he had started standing there.
"Go back and receive your punishment."
His face was indifferent, his eyes were calm and unwavering, and he looked as deep and unfathomable as the sea, sending chills down one's spine.
Wang Ming and his companion immediately stood up, saluted, and ran away.
Xie Jinyu looked at the path Gu Zuozuo was taking down the mountain, and a hint of grievance suddenly flashed in her indifferent eyes. She had clearly noticed her, so why didn't she take a second look?
Does she know that he is her fiancé?
She's so beautiful!
She has a beautiful smile!
Her eyes resembled Professor Xie's, but were even more aloof.
I wonder if she still remembers teasing a boy when she was little, saying that she would marry him and make him the head of the household when she grew up? Judging from her reaction, does she think she's the only one who remembers?
Thinking of Professor Gu and his wife who faked their deaths, and then looking at Gu Zuozuo who still had to work hard to go up the mountain to chop firewood, Xie Jinyu suddenly began to grit his teeth at the people who caused trouble. If it weren't for their trouble, would his fiancée have suffered so much?
no!
The more I think about it, the angrier I get!
Xie Jinyu turned and left. He needed to find out where those people's secret hideout was as soon as possible. Otherwise, he was afraid he would never be able to stand in front of his fiancée in his entire life!
Achoo!
A loud sneeze startled everyone around her. Perhaps because of the five large, fat pigs, the villagers, who usually ignored the educated youth, all looked at her and the wild boars with smiles. When they heard her sneeze, two unfamiliar old women even stuck their heads out and asked her a question.
"Is your eldest daughter alright? Did the wild boar get tired?"
Gu Zuozuo touched her nose, smiled at the enthusiastic older women, and silently let the two women shower her with praise from every angle.
