Lu Yanzhou probably asked this because he was worried that she would go out alone. Lin Yunchu smiled and casually mentioned that she wanted to go to the back mountain.
"My mother and sister-in-law are helping out in the workshop next door."
Lin Yunchu turned sideways to make way for Lu Yanzhou to enter the yard first. Seeing that he was holding books and calligraphy, he must be giving them to Chang'an.
After Chang'an went to school, Lu Yanzhou would bring him some things when he came back on weekdays, and would also teach him a few words when he had time.
Lin Changan liked him very much. He always called him "Brother Yanzhou" and "Brother Yanzhou" all the time. Lin Yunchu had calluses on his ears from hearing it so much.
"Wait for me for a moment."
He looked at the things in his hand, then glanced up at the backpack Lin Yunchu was carrying. Lu Yanzhou took advantage of the sound to say something and strode into the Lin family yard.
Hearing this, Lin Yunchu was stunned and opened his eyes slightly, somewhat unable to understand the meaning of this sentence.
Just as I was lost in thought, I saw Lu Yanzhou hurriedly enter the house, and then quickly walked out, with nothing in his hands.
It seemed that he put the book and font in his hand on the table and came out immediately. When Lin Yunchu was lost in thought, Lu Yanzhou reached out and took the backpack off her back and put it on his own back.
"Brother Yanzhou..."
Lin Yunchu said hurriedly that the backpack was not heavy and she could carry it by herself.
But before she could say anything, she thought of what Lu Yanzhou was going to do. Lu Yanzhou closed the courtyard door gently with his familiarity and whispered, "Let's go."
Walk?
Where are you going?
Lin Yunchu looked puzzled. Could it be that he wanted to go to the back mountain with him?
It is not known whether the bamboo shoots in the back mountain have grown yet, and she does not have to dig them up. She can do it by herself.
Lu Yanzhou seemed to have read Lin Yunchu's thoughts. He pursed his lips, his expression unchanged, and explained softly, "I'm worried about you going to the back mountain alone."
Lu Yanzhou had also gone to the bamboo forest in the back mountain with the Lin family to help, so he knew where it was.
Although it is not too far from the village, very few people go there. Lin Yunchu, a girl, cannot go to such a place alone. Now the Lin family members are not at home.
He just happened to meet her, so he had to go with her no matter what. Otherwise, he would be worried even without his grandma telling him to.
"Let's go."
Lu Yanzhou walked forward a few steps and saw that Lin Yunchu behind him had not caught up, so he stopped immediately, turned around and urged him again.
"Oh, okay, I'll be right there."
Lin Yunchu sighed slightly. She knew that Lu Yanzhou must be worried about her running to the back mountain alone, but if he wanted to follow her, then let him. Having someone to talk to along the way would help pass the time.
Unfortunately, she was wrong. Lu Yanzhou had a wooden face, and looked the same as usual. He didn't say a word along the way.
The two walked for a long time, and in order to avoid the people in the village, they even walked around the cornfield at the end of the village. Everyone in the village knew that the Lin family had gone to the back mountain to pick loquats before.
But the loquats had already been picked. If he saw Lin Yunchu running towards the back mountain again, he would probably ask him endless questions.
The two of them left the village and walked farther and farther away. They saw that the houses in the village were gradually getting smaller. Standing on a high place and looking down, they could see several naughty children in the village chasing and playing.
Lin Yunchu faced the breeze, closed his eyes, and his nose was filled with the fresh fragrance of mud and grass. It was faint and pleasant and made people feel inexplicably at peace.
The two walked slowly along the stream. The farther they walked from the village, the noise in their ears gradually faded away, leaving only the rustling sound of the leafy trees not far away in the wind.
Soon, the familiar bamboo forest appeared faintly in the distance. Lin Yunchuyi raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, breathing slightly.
Because no one has passed by this road for many years, the path that they trampled out last year is now overgrown with weeds.
If she didn't have a good sense of direction, she might not have been able to find this place.
Seeing that Lin Yunchu's face was a little red from the sun and she was breathing heavily, Lu Yanzhou led her to a tree nearby, found a big rock and blew on it carefully.
He pointed at the stone and asked Lin Yunchu to sit down and rest first. Since they had already come to the bamboo forest, there was no need to rush. It would not be too late to go in after they had rested.
Lin Yunchu originally wanted to refuse, but when he saw Lu Yanzhou's expressionless face, he immediately sat down with great tact.
Just take a rest. It’s still early and there’s no need to rush. If you really find bamboo shoots, you can call your eldest and second brothers tomorrow to come again. Besides, we have Lin Qingshan’s family, so there is no problem with manpower.
Lu Yanzhou took out the bamboo tube from his backpack and handed it to Lin Yunchu. They had been walking for such a long time and the sun was still very hot, so his throat was really dry at the moment.
Lin Yunchu took the bamboo tube and took a sip. He immediately felt his whole body cooler. It was as if water was poured into the dry soil in his throat. It felt comfortable!
Then he handed the bamboo tube to Lu Yanzhou. Lu Yanzhou took the bamboo tube and did not put it directly into the backpack. Instead, he tilted his head back and took a big gulp.
this?
Lin Yunchu raised her hand and wanted to tell him that she had just drunk the water.
Unexpectedly, Lu Yanzhou closed the lid of the bamboo tube, put it into the backpack, glanced at her, and his eyes seemed to ask: Is there a problem?
Lin Yunchu waved his hands repeatedly and lowered his head. He suddenly felt guilty and his face felt a little hot.
"Okay, let's go in and take a look."
Just as she was lost in thought, she heard Lu Yanzhou's voice. Lin Yunchu raised her head and saw him turning around and looking around in the bamboo forest. He didn't pay much attention to her appearance at the moment.
Only then did he gradually feel relieved, took a deep breath, stood up, and the two of them walked into the bamboo forest.
Just now there were the sounds of insects and birds outside, but after entering the bamboo forest, the tall branches and dense bamboo leaves blocked the scorching sun, and it was surprisingly cool inside.
The only sounds left were the occasional creaking sound of bamboo poles in the strong wind and the rustling of dead leaves under his feet. Lin Yunchu could no longer care about anything else and turned his head to look around, searching for any fresh bamboo shoots growing nearby.
Lu Yanzhou had come with the Lin family to dig bamboo shoots many times before, so he knew how to find them. Without Lin Yunchu saying much, he also looked around like her.
Unfortunately, there may have been less rain this year, and after searching for a long time, the two only found a few newly grown bamboo shoots. Lin Yunchu raised his hand and pointed to a piece of tender bamboo shoot growing not far away.
Lu Yanzhou immediately understood, walked quickly forward, put down the backpack on his back, took out the small hoe inside and started digging.
