Chapter 7: The End of the Mountain (13)
"When I found him, I couldn't have been happier, but when I was overjoyed, I found that he had lost his memory to the point that he didn't even know who he was, and what made me even more sad was that he actually fell in love with another woman...... Zhang Ruonan said to himself.
"I was really disheartened at that moment, I confessed to him that night, and found out our previous relationship, he was very embarrassed and overwhelmed, like stealing candy and being caught by a current child......"
"Bai Yutong fell in love with ...... Other women?" Bai Siqi looked up at Zhang Ruonan in surprise, the fire of gossip burning in her eyes.
"Yes. Zhang Ruonan lowered his eyebrows and smiled, "I lost to time, and that was probably the first woman he met after his amnesia." β
"Who?" asked Bai Siqi curiously and eagerly.
Zhang Ruonan sighed deeply, "It's raindrops." β
"Rain, rain?" Bai Siqi shouted, "Isn't that his sister?"
"No, I'm sure he doesn't have any relatives. Zhang Ruonan shook his head slightly, "The raindrops are picked up by him, he always likes to pick things up, only on this point he is still the same as before......"
"Raindrops ......," Bai Siqi muttered to herself.
Deep forest trails.
"Take a break. Gu Yanrou leaned into Bai Yutong's ear and gently persuaded him.
"No, it's okay, I'm not tired yet, you hold on!" Bai Yutong didn't reply, he grabbed Gu Yanrou's delicate and smooth legs tightly with both hands, and then threw her up as a whole, which was regarded as fixing the girl's delicate body again and preventing her from slipping off his back.
"I mean, I'm hungry. Gu Yanrou's voice did not have a trace of emotional fluctuations.
What does it mean that you don't think about me at all? You little white-eyed wolf...... Bai Yutong was stunned for a moment, he instantly lost his momentum and stopped his heavy steps, and then put Gu Yanrou down on the trunk next to him.
I'm so tired just for this? Bai Yutong couldn't be angry.
Gu Yanrou's limbs were weakly spread on the ground, and she looked at Bai Yutong who was stretching her waist sideways and twisting her neck, "Where are we going?"
"Go to the west. Bai Yutong groaned, and then sat down next to Gu Yanrou, he lifted Gu Yanrou's upper body from the thick tree trunk, and then took off the blue package around her neck.
"West?" Gu Yanrou was puzzled, "Is my brother over there?"
"If nothing else, they shouldn't be there. Bai Yutong untied the knot on the package, then he opened the package, took out a tempting golden soft cake, and handed it to Gu Yanrou.
The pancakes were bought by Bai Yutong at a roadside stall in the town in the morning, and the old man saw that Bai Yutong bought a lot, and enthusiastically gave him a square towel to hold the pancakes he bought.
Gu Yanrou didn't take the pancake handed over by Bai Yutong, but after hesitating again and again, she took a bite of it.
Bai Yutong suddenly realized that he had actually forgotten that Gu Yanrou's hand tendons were broken, and it was a little inconvenient to take it.
"I'll feed you!" Bai Yutong tore off a small piece of soft pancake and stuffed it into Gu Yanrou's slightly open mouth.
"Good. Gu Yanrou said politely, and then took a small bite of the pancake that Bai Yutong sent to her mouth.
Bai Yutong enjoyed this feeding behavior of the puppy a little, so much so that his body and mind relaxed, and a shallow smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
Sometimes it's good to raise small animals or something, not only to cultivate sentiment, but also to empty your wallet...... How could he, a low-paid family, want to raise a four-legged gold-swallowing beast?
The girl eats very slowly, and the way she chews food is cute and elegant, it should be the headmaster who has taught the old man well.
"I'm full. Gu Yanrou said with satisfaction, in fact, she doesn't like to eat this kind of flour pancakes, she likes to eat protein-rich foods like meat.
At the end of feeding, Bai Yutong nibbled on the rest of the food that Gu Yanrou ate, and his posture was very unsightly, similar to a hippopotamus eating watermelon.
And Gu Yanrou's gaze was fixed on Bai Yutong's muddy soles, the soles of his heels had been glued, and black liquid seeped out of them.
Gu Yanrou could smell a faint stench from Bai Yutong's feet, it was definitely athlete's foot, similar to the fishy smell emitted by a dead fish stranded on the beach and being exposed to the sun.
She guessed that Bai Yutong probably had his feet cut by the gravel on the riverbed when he was crossing the river, or that he had walked for too long, and his feet had blistered and broken skin.
Bai Yutong is still nibbling on the pancakes as always, and the food is tasteless. His expression was very indifferent, but very focusedβthe pancake had probably been left out for a long time, and it tasted a little hard, like chewing cardboard.
Actually, he didn't want to buy pancakes, but other foods have a short shelf life.
"You took off your shoes and let me see it. Gu Yanrou said suddenly.
Bai Yutong looked at her with half a pancake in his mouth, his expression was dumbfounded, he said resistantly, his voice was slurred, "Forget it, I have athlete's foot, it stinks, I still have to eat, I can't eat it when I smell it......"
"But your feet bleed. Gu Yanrou's tone seemed a little reproachful.
Bai Yutong hurriedly looked at his foot and found that the heel of his right foot was degummed, as if he had opened a mouth, and there was a layer of coagulated black blood down the edge of the heel.
He looked back at Gu Yanrou, and after being exposed, he felt very uncomfortable.
In fact, Bai Yutong usually has very few words, but because he is bad as soon as he speaks, there are many people who are willing to confide in him some important or inconsequential things, and use him as a microphone that can't make a sound.
In this way, he buried a lot of things in his heart, but he rarely shared his affairs with others, similar to his family background, his troubles, and his childhood sweetheart.
He bears everything by himself, and will not beg others to help him, just like a butterfly that has broken its cocoon, and never depends on others, because before it breaks its cocoon, it can only see itself and the darkness.
Under Gu Yanrou's instructions, Bai Yutong carried her to the edge of a shallow pool gathered by a mountain stream, and he put her on the smooth and flat deformed stones on the edge of the shallow pool.
Bai Yutong also sat down to rest, he carefully took off the shoes under his feet, and a foul smell burst out, lingering on the tip of Bai Yutong's nose like a mosquito, lingering.
"Vomit!" Bai Yutong retched, he felt that the pancakes he had worked so hard to swallow were about to be spit out.
Gu Yanrou looked at the black and red socks he was wearing on his feet, and couldn't help frowning, "Clean it first." β
Bai Yutong nodded, and after taking off his socks, he stretched his legs into the clear pool, and when his feet stepped on the pebbles at the bottom of the water, a cold feeling spread throughout his body, so comfortable that he almost wanted to moan loudly.
Bai Yutong pressed his hands on his feet, gently scrubbed them, and after a while, his feet returned to a clean appearance, there were acne between his toes, probably worn blood blisters, and his heels were red blood marks.
He carefully clasped his feet with his hands, and hummed a brisk tone in a low voice, "I want to be good-looking, I want to be good-looking, I want to be a big man who picks my feet and gives you a thumbs up, I want to eat a full meal, I want to eat a full meal, and then I have the strength to move bricks and ......"
Gu Yanrou watched quietly from the side.
"After washing...... Gu Yanrou used all the strength of her hand to pull off the white gauze on the ponytail, and then pinched the gauze in her hand, "Just bandage the wound, otherwise the wound will be infected and inflamed." β
Her bright green hair spilled over the sides of her shoulders, giving her a look of wild natural beauty.
"Oh. Bai Yutong lowered his head and continued to rub his feet.
Seeing that Bai Yutong was almost washed, Gu Yanrou threw the gauze to him, and there was a faint fragrance on the gauze. He tore the gauze, which was neither long nor short, in half, and wrapped it around his feet.
Just as Bai Yutong finished bandaging and was about to put back his sticky stinky socks, Gu Yanrou stopped him in a voice, "Wait a minute, you take off my shoes and wear mine!"
Bai Yutong stopped the movement of his hand and looked at her with some surprise, he understood that the girl was afraid that the residual dirt in the shoes would stain his freshly washed feet again.
"That's not good......"
"It's useless to wear my shoes now, aren't your shoes just broken?" Gu Yanrou explained, "Then it's better to give you my shoes and socks to wear." β
"Well, don't say I'm a women's clothing boss...... I'll be very sad to ...... like this," Bai Yutong didn't shirk this time.
The girl turned her head and asked, "What's the women's clothing boss?"
"It's a boy wearing a girl's clothes. Bai Yutong said casually.
"Then am I a men's clothing boss now?" the girl looked at the coat covering herself, which was Bai Yutong's.
"There's no such thing as a men's clothing boss. β
"Why?" the girl didn't understand.
"It's cute for girls to wear boys' clothes......"
After speaking, Bai Yutong grabbed Gu Yanrou's thin feet, and then took off her women's shoes, which were too small for an unknown number of sizes.
He was dumbfounded the moment he took off his shoes, it was ...... Shame on me for wearing pink socks, isn't it......
"I'm not going to laugh at you. Gu Yanrou's expression was very serious, as if to say, "Do you need the old lady to make a poisonous oath, I'm already eager to try."
Bai Yutong wasn't afraid that Gu Yanrou would laugh at him, he had been with her for a while. He knew that she was the kind of girl who didn't smile, she didn't usually like to talk, and she didn't have much assertiveness.
He was a little embarrassed, and asking him to wear pink socks was like asking a girl to put on a full leg of fake hair......
Wear it...... Bai Yutong finally compromised, he subconsciously took the socks to his nose and sniffed them, not noticing that the eyes of the girl next to him were all on him.
Still...... This was Bai Yutong's first reaction.
"What does it smell like?" the girl asked.
Bai Yutong froze suddenly, his current mood was like being caught peeping at a girl taking a shower, Gu Yanrou must feel that she is a pervert, right?
"It's just, it's a milky ......" Bai Yutong decided to take this question hard.
"yes, I've never smelled it. The girl said.
"You...... Haven't you smelled your own socks?" Bai Yutong's tone seemed to have discovered a new world.
"Well, my dad didn't let me smell it since I was a child. β
"Your dad is a treasure boy in a sense......"
"What is the treasure boy?" Gu Yanrou asked again.
"It's a very special boy, speaking of socks, do you want to smell them?" Bai Yutong shook the pink socks in his hand, like an obscene uncle who wanted to commit a crime against underage girls.
"Hmm. The girl hesitated, then crawled over to Bai Yutong, she put her nose close to the sock, and sniffed gently.
"How does it taste?" Bai Yutong asked expectantly.
"It's the same as you said, milky. The girl sat down again on the flat stone.
Bai Yutong suddenly felt that he was really a bastard, he actually smelled the same socks as a girl, in a sense, he was also a treasure boy.
Bai Yutong put the pink socks in his hand on his feet, and stretched his toes a few times.
Although the socks were a little small, they were good in terms of ductility, and Bai Yutong put on another sock with satisfaction.
After putting on the socks, Bai Yutong brought the shoes that he had taken off from Gu Yanrou's feet to the front, and then compared the soles with his own feet, and found that the girl's shoes were more than a little smaller.
"Use arrows to cut off the front of the shoe and make sandals. Gu Yanrou pointed to the quiver behind him that Bai Yutong was carrying.
Originally, this quiver was carried on Bai Yutong's back, but Gu Yanrou always complained that the quiver was very uncomfortable against her chest, so she decisively asked Bai Yutong to put the quiver and the horn bow on her back.
Truly...... It's a good way, Bai Yutong suddenly felt that this girl had a very good brain, how could she be a road idiot?
He pulled an arrow from his quiver, and then used the sharp arrow to cut an orange petal-sized notch in the tip of his shoe, allowing several toes to leak out.
It seems to be really possible.
Bai Yutong stretched his toes a little relaxed, and then he was stunned, originally he agreed to wear pink socks because there were shoes outside and others couldn't see them, but now after he cut a hole in the shoe, he realized that he seemed to have made a big mistake......
