Chapter 40: The Other Side of Memories

Turns out she remembers.

Gan Yunting stood outside the door, listening to An Yunuo talk about the past, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he always thought that An Yunuo didn't remember that incident for a long time, otherwise why would she react when he saw her say that sentence, causing him to worry for so long.

An Yunuo's memories are almost accurate, but what she doesn't know is that she didn't appear when she wanted to jump into the well, in fact, since she fainted that day, her attention has never left her.

At that time, he was still young, and he didn't know why he paid attention to the quality of his tablemates, and most of the time he was thinking about where to find food to fill his stomach with the next meal.

The government staff proposed to send him to the welfare home, saying that he could be fed and clothed there, and he could go to school, but he just didn't go, every time he saw the gang waiting for him at the door of his house from a distance, he would rather stay outside until late at night before going back, and resolutely did not go with the gang, after coming so many times, the gang also knew that the child was young, but he was particularly strong, and in the end he could only let him continue to stay in the village alone, but would send someone to take care of his life from time to time, and help him send some daily necessities by the way。

As the saying goes, half the size of the child, eat the poor old man, he is when he grows up, the little food sent by the government is only enough for him to make a stomach, if he wants to eat, he still has to find his own way, so at that time, he has nothing to think about in his mind every day except for what he eats, and he has no time to take care of anything else.

He didn't know why he was so concerned about An Yunuo who suddenly fainted that day, he was worried about her situation during class, and he couldn't even listen to the teacher's lectures.

At that time, he didn't know what emotions suddenly appeared in his heart, but when he watched her sit there alone, looking at the needle in his hand in a daze, he felt panicked, he wanted to appear and talk to her, so that the loneliness on her face could dissipate a little, but he didn't, he was afraid, afraid that his concern would attract ridicule from his classmates. Originally, they had already been ostracized by their classmates because of their family background, if he showed excessive concern for her again, the classmates would definitely not let them go, don't look at the children who are not old, each mouth is as poisonous as the old lady in the family, and he can scold anything unpleasant, he doesn't care, he is afraid that she is thin-skinned and can't stand the stimulation.

He stood quietly at a distance and watched her until the teacher took her home, and then he followed them back to Uncle Anyuno's house.

He waited outside the door for a long time, until he saw the teacher leave, he did not come home, he wanted to knock on the door and ask her how she was doing, when he thought of her uncle and aunt's face, his raised hand did not fall in the end.

Through the courtyard gate, he could hear An Yunuo's aunt scolding her vigorously, saying that her young age was a thing, and she wouldn't stop if she didn't take the teacher home every day, anyway, after a scolding, the sound of dragging things sounded in the yard.

He was afraid that his guard at the door would be broken by her family, so he quickly found a place to hide nearby, and after a while, he saw An Yunuo, who was walking backwards, carrying two buckets out of the door.

Needless to say, her aunt must have asked her to fetch water.

It's not the first time Gan Yunting has seen An Yunuo go to the well at the other end of the village to fetch water, it stands to reason that the village is connected to tap water, and there is no need to fetch water to eat at all, but An Yunuo's aunt will still punish An Yunuo by carrying water from time to time, and it is also said that it is to save money so that she can go to school.

Children without mothers are like this, boarding under other people's roofs, no matter how much suffering they can endure.

He watched An Yunuo walk towards the well, he was still uneasy, he kept quietly following her, following her back and forth on the silent road in the village, he didn't know why he was following her, he just felt that this was a little more reassuring.

He didn't remember how many times he had followed her back and forth with her that day, only that the moonlight was so bright that he could see her every movement even from a long distance from her.

It was late at night, he was also hungry, his stomach couldn't help but make a voice of protest, he wanted to endure it many times to continue to accompany her, his stomach kept protesting, he could only touch his stomach and secretly decide, and finally, he would go home with him on the last trip.

That trip, he felt that time passed very fast, obviously An Yunuo's pace was much slower than just now, he still felt that time was too fast, and before he even reacted, An Yunuo had already walked to the well with a bucket.

Put down the flat pole, take one of the buckets and throw it into the well, take a deep breath, and pick up the bucket with all his might, he has seen this action many times today, when An Yunuo put the flat pole down, he has completed the follow-up actions in his mind.

Things were supposed to go on like this, he stood quietly in the corner of the house, waiting for her to fill the bucket again, put the flat shoulder on his shoulder again, he waited quietly, waited, waited, waited,

She still put down the pole as she had just done, but this time she did not take off the bucket, but lay directly on the side of the well, and did not know what was in the well that attracted her attention, her small body gradually leaned into the well, and continued to lean in, until her arm holding the side of the well was almost straightened, and he understood what she was going to do.

No! No!

Hidden in the shadows, he didn't care that his whereabouts would be discovered, so he ran quickly to the well, grabbed her by the clothes, and dragged her out of the well.

"You don't want to die!"

After dragging An Yunuo out, he had to let go because of inertia, An Yunuo was thrown to the ground, he didn't have time to catch his breath and yelled at the stunned An Yunuo, the action just now was too urgent, quickly consumed his physical strength, and he could only hold his legs and barely stand up, but he was panting like a cow, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

An Yunuo, who was thrown on the ground, was stupid, and was stunned for a long time before she could see his face clearly, and when she saw his face clearly, her brows wrinkled together, and then her face showed a look of wanting to cry.

"Gan Yunting......"
