Another weekend, Gu Bai ran into Su Tian again while chopping firewood on the mountain.
What's even more terrifying is that he not only saw Su Tian, but also a large wild boar chasing her.
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and climb the tree, hurry up and climb the tree!" Su Tian shouted loudly.
Upon hearing this, Gu Bai found a tree nearby and quickly climbed up it.
He looked down worriedly, fearing that Su Tian might be gored by a wild boar.
But then he witnessed an unforgettable scene: Su Tian pulled out an iron rod from somewhere and started hitting the wild boar's head with it.
He counted; Su Tian knocked the wild boar ten times, then fell silently to the ground.
"Hey, little brother, the wild boar is dead. You can come down now."
Gu Bai was still in a daze after seeing her hunt wild boar, so he didn't hear Su Tian calling him.
Su Tian found it strange; why wasn't he responding when she called him? Was he frightened?
She walked to the tree Gu Bai was climbing and called to him again, "Little brother, the wild boar has been killed, you can come down now."
At this moment, Gu Bai finally came to his senses and quickly slid down.
"What's wrong? Are you scared? It's okay, don't worry, it's already dead."
"I'm going down the mountain now, do you want to come with me? There's a smell of blood here, it might attract other wild boars."
Gu Bai nodded, and Su Tian hoisted the wild boar onto her shoulder and walked ahead.
He was stunned again by what he saw. This...
"Hurry up and follow me. What are you standing there for?" Su Tian said, then carried the wild boar away.
That evening, he ate delicious wild boar meat, which was the first time he had ever eaten it.
Through word of mouth among the villagers, he learned of her name, and he simply thought it was a very beautiful name.
This female educated youth was quite kind; she hunted a wild boar and then shared it with the villagers.
Because Gu Bai would go up the mountain to chop firewood every weekend, he encountered Su Tian more and more frequently.
Su Tian would greet him every time she saw him, and he would nod shyly in response.
"Here, I hunted three pheasants. Here's one for you. Remember to hide it well before you take it home."
Gu Bai watched her retreating figure as she descended the mountain, and then looked at the pheasant on the ground, feeling a warmth in his heart.
That evening, he ate another delicious pheasant. Every time he met Su Tian on the mountain, she would share her prey with him.
He had tried to slip money into Su Tian's pocket, but she refused to take it and instead stuffed it directly into his pocket.
Her hand slipped into his pocket and touched the flesh of his leg, and he felt a strange sensation, as if an electric current was passing through him.
On the first day of winter vacation for first-year high school students, Gu Bai went up the mountain to chop firewood as usual, but after chopping several bundles of firewood, he still didn't see Su Tian.
The next day, he went up the mountain to chop firewood as usual. He chopped several bundles of firewood and even shot two pheasants, but he still didn't see Su Tian.
On the third day, he didn't go up the mountain. Instead, he went to work with his parents. In the fields, he looked around but couldn't find Su Tian anywhere.
For some reason, he couldn't see Su Tian and couldn't stop thinking about her, so he couldn't muster any interest in doing anything.
For several days in a row, he went to work all day long, determined to see her.
Unfortunately, to his disappointment, Su Tian seemed to have vanished.
Undeterred, he secretly went to the educated youth settlement, found a village child, gave him a piece of candy, and asked him to go to the settlement to ask if Su Tian was there.
He was a little disappointed when he heard the news; it turned out she had gone home to visit her family.
After the New Year, the winter vacation ended, and Gu Bai had to go back to school.
After he went to school, Su Tian also came back.
On Friday afternoon, after school, he got into the oxcart and hurried home.
After returning home and putting down his schoolbag, he ran towards the educated youth settlement.
But when he arrived at the entrance of the educated youth settlement, he hesitated. Why was he in such a hurry to come to the educated youth settlement?
Thinking of this, he turned around and walked home, where he met Su Tian walking with a girl.
They walked up to him, and Su Tian said with a smile, "Oh, little brother, I haven't seen you for a holiday, and I noticed you've grown a bit taller, you're up to my chin now."
Here, have some candy. It's from my hometown. Try it and see if it's good. Hold out your hand.
Your fingers are long and slender, so fair and delicate; you'll grow taller than me someday.
Gu Bai found himself very happy after seeing Su Tian. He shyly reached out his left hand and took the candy Su Tian gave him.
"Take this and go home. It's getting dark, so I'm going home now. Goodbye."
Gu Bai watched as Su Tian and the others slowly walked into the educated youth settlement, a hint of reluctance in his eyes.
And so, every weekend, except when it was windy or rainy, Gu Bai would go up the mountain to chop firewood, just in hopes of running into Su Tian. Su Tian had become his comforting solace on weekends.
If he doesn't see Su Tian on a weekend, he feels very anxious and uneasy.
When they met on the mountain, Su Tian would occasionally take him to roast pheasants and pick wild fruits to eat.
When Gu Bai saw Su Tian, he was no longer shy, and he thoroughly enjoyed the time they spent together.
He was happy all day long whenever he was with her, but he didn't know what this feeling was.
Sometimes, she would share some of the food that Su Tian's family sent with him.
Su Tian felt sorry for the little boy. He was fair-skinned and handsome, but he was mute.
Gu Bai was unaware that in Su Tian's heart, he was a mute. Su Tian, in turn, was unaware that Gu Bai was not mute; it was all due to Gu Bai's shyness, timidity, and taciturnity.
During the summer vacation after his first year of high school, Gu Bai hadn't seen Su Tian for a month.
When she saw Su Tian again, she exclaimed in surprise, "Little brother, how did you grow so fast? You're as tall as me now! What have you been eating?"
Su Tian stood curiously in front of Gu Bai, looking at Gu Bai who was about the same height as her, and even slightly taller.
Gu Bai was secretly pleased upon hearing this, but then shook his head.
"Oh, so that means they've already started developing."
Su Tian's casual remark sounded to Gu Bai as if it implied something.
He glanced down at his pants and his face involuntarily turned red.
"Why is your face so red? Are you feeling unwell?"
Su Tian reached out and touched his forehead, and Gu Bai's face turned even hotter.
His heart raced when the soft hand touched him.
Is he sick? Why is he burning up? And why is his heart beating so fast?
Are you alright?
Gu Bai shook his head again, and then started running down the mountain.
He ran home, went into his room, lay on his bed, and kept recalling the scene of Su Tian gently touching his forehead.
He felt he was really sick, but he didn't know what kind of illness he had.
Before he could figure it out, the village children called out to him.
He came out to take the things and realized that Su Tian had asked the child to bring them to him.
