Wan Xi still didn't want to go, so she didn't force him. Gu Xi still asked curiously, "How did you fall like this? Don't the villagers often go up the mountain to pick wild vegetables?"
Wan Xi's face suddenly turned red in the dim light of the kerosene lamp, and he stammered.
Gu Xi found it even more strange, and Wan Hexing was also puzzled: "Did you encounter a ferocious beast or something happened? You have been walking this road since you were a child. You would not run so far to pick some wild vegetables, and you rolled down the slope. If Brother Xu was not familiar with it, you would have died."
Yin Jie also agreed: "Yes, Ximei, it was too dangerous. Fortunately, Brother Xu was worried about Gu Zhiqing these two days and came back every day. He was supposed to go to the neighboring village for four days. When he came back, you had been eaten by wild beasts, not even a bone was left."
Wan Xi was already frightened, and the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became: "I saw Zhang Yuejin and Xu Jiao in the back hill, and I was very scared, so I ran away. They also saw me, so they chased me and tried to catch me. I panicked and didn't know where to run. Finally, I missed a step and fell down the hillside.
Before I fainted, I saw them standing up there and seeing me. I wanted to call for help but I fainted. When I woke up again, it was already night. I shouted for a long time but no one answered. I was afraid of attracting wild boars or wolves, so I dared not shout anymore. My whole body ached and I fell into a deep sleep again.
When I woke up again, Gu Zhiqing was helping me clean the wound. It hurt so much. "
Gu Xi grasped the key point: "What are they doing in the back hills? Are they having an affair? How far have they progressed?"
Yin Jie also wanted to ask, but he didn't have the courage. When he heard Gu Xi asked, he gave her a thumbs up and said, "It is I, Gu Zhiqing, who has the courage."
Wan Xi blushed again and lowered her head, not daring to answer, which made Gu Xi and Yin Jie even more uncomfortable. Why didn't they meet the person? They should go up the mountain more often in the future.
Wang Xu seemed to have read her thoughts: "Don't think about it. There will be no chance in the near future. If Wan Xi saw it, I will definitely restrain myself for a while. These two people are so bold that they dared not help."
Gu Xi looked annoyed, "They are the ones who should run and be afraid. Why are you running? It's a pity that I don't have a camera, otherwise I would have taken a picture of them and it would have been evidence of their affair. They are really brave. How could they be so impatient? They were so angry that they dared to chase you in broad daylight on the mountain. Were you wearing pants when you chased me?"
Yin Jie spat out a mouthful of water, and Wan Xi quickly denied it: "No, they didn't take off their clothes, they just hugged each other and kissed."
Wang Xu's face darkened: "What's in your head? Where do all these messes in your head come from? Who dares to do that before getting married? They haven't even publicly dated each other."
Gu Xi couldn’t say much about the society before she traveled through time. All of this was very normal. There were plenty of places to gain knowledge from short videos and novels.
"Is it just a kiss that frightened you so much? You ran away and misled me into thinking they had done something terrible."
Yin Jie said weakly: "You think too much, I just want to hold hands and hug."
Wan Xi lowered his head, his face dripping with blood, while Wan Hexing was particularly angry: "I went to find the village chief, but he watched the dying person not help, especially since it was caused by them. This is simply lawless."
Gu Xi quickly agreed: "Take me with you, and let's go together to help Wan Xi get justice."
Wang Xu sneered, "You are trying to avoid farm work. Come back with me and tell me where you learned all this. It's not proper for a girl to do this..."
Gu Xi pulled Wang Xu's sleeve and listened to his mumbling. There was no way to answer many of the things he said, and she couldn't help but retort: "You are so annoying. It's none of your business."
After saying that, Wang Xu was obviously stunned. He stopped and looked back at Gu Xi. It was dark and only the flashlight was shining on the ground. She couldn't see Wang Xu's expression clearly, but she clearly felt that Wang Xu was looking at her in the dark. Then he smiled at himself and walked back without saying anything, but Gu Xi felt his coldness, a momentary alienation.
Gu Xi wanted to explain, but they had already reached the gate of the courtyard. Wang Xu said nothing, went into the house to get some clean clothes, and went to the bathroom to take a shower without even looking at her.
Gu Xi stood in the yard for a long time, wanting to apologize and explain that she had just spoken without thinking, but she also felt that the relationship between them did not need to be explained.
Feeling a little annoyed and with mixed emotions, Gu Xi went back to her room to rest, but she couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard she tried toss and turn. She went out of the room, pretending to pour some water, to see what was going on.
The light in Wang Xu's room was off, as if he had fallen asleep. Gu Xi could only turn around and go back to his room.
Wang Xu was in the dim room, with his hands resting on his head, looking at the ceiling. He heard the sound of the door opening next door, taking a few steps and then turning back. His eyes were filled with understanding: he had overstepped the boundaries, lost his sense of propriety, and had more delusions than he should have.
Gu Xi struggled until dawn before falling asleep. She overslept and it was Lin Ling who called her, "Gu Xi, why are you sleeping so soundly? Get up quickly. You're late."
Gu Xi quickly got up, dressed and washed as quickly as possible. When she passed by Wang Xu's room, it was empty. There was a corn and an egg for breakfast in the kitchen.
Gu Xi ate while going to work. From a distance, she saw Wang Xu working in the fields. He was very efficient and had already finished half of the work.
Gu Xi pouted her lips a little aggrieved, and Lin Ling also noticed something: "What's wrong with you two? You usually stay together all day, but the atmosphere is a little subtle today. You are pouting, obviously unhappy."
Gu Xi did not answer and went back to work. Not long after, the village chief called Zhang Yuejin away with a gloomy face. It should be that Wan Hexing went to tell the village chief about the matter.
When he returned home at noon, Wang Xu made a bowl of noodles with an egg and brought it to Gu Xi on the table in the yard. He ate in the kitchen himself. He ate very quickly and was hurriedly called away by Yin Jie without saying a word to Gu Xi.
Gu Xi was eating noodles alone in the yard, feeling like crying. She didn't know why she suddenly became pretentious. She had never felt this way before: Wang Xu, you big bastard, it turns out that men can only affect your mood, I don't care. If you don’t want to talk, then don’t talk. Let’s see who suffocates first. "
The fact is that Gu Xi is almost suffocating now, and feels like she is about to explode, but she has nowhere to vent. When she gets off work in the afternoon, she swings the hoe desperately.
The aunt next to him called out, "Gu Zhiqing, what are you doing? You can't weed like this. Don't kill the seedlings next to you. The crops that have grown with great effort must not be wasted."
Yin Jie came over with a smile: "Gu Zhiqing, I'll help you with the rest, you go and have a rest."
Gu Xi found his smile particularly annoying: "Laugh, laugh, what's so funny? I don't need your help. I don't need this kind of deceitful thing. If I can't finish it, I'll just starve to death. I have backbone. Go away."
Yin Jie was confused by what he said and looked at Lin Ling on the side: "Is Gu Zhiqing crazy? She is so angry. Let Brother Xu make her some mung bean soup tonight."
Before he could finish his words, Gu Xi jumped up when she heard the words "Brother Xu" and said, "Are you annoying? Why don't you leave? Who asked that bastard to cook mung bean soup for me? I won't eat the food given out of pity."
If you don't leave, I will tell the captain that you are affecting my work progress. "
Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Yin Jie could only run away quickly.
Lin Ling was hesitant to speak, observing secretly, and Gu Xi was also annoyed: "What are you doing sneakily? Have you finished the work? I have some helpers on my face, I can help you finish the work if you see them."
Lin Ling quickly buried her head in her work and secretly stayed away from Gu Xi. Today, any dog that passed by would be scolded by Gu Xi.
