The next day, Gong Baorou was woken up by Qiu Niang.

"Sister Arou, are you up?" Qiu Niang asked as she patted on the door.

"I'm up." Gong Baorou opened her eyes in a daze and found that she was still lying on the ground, so she hurriedly got up and patted her clothes to open the door, "I'm sorry, I'm late." ”

Qiu Niang came in with a basin, soaked the towel, and handed it to Gong Baorou: "It's okay, we all know that Sister Arou was very tired last night, so we all want to call Sister Arou later." ”

Gong Baorou nodded slightly weakly, and couldn't help but glance at the neat bed.

Qiu Niang obviously didn't observe so much carefully, and after putting the things down, she told "Come and have breakfast" and went out, leaving Gong Baorou to quickly sweep the tail.

Fold the quilt again, and then tidy up the ground, Gong Baorou's eyes finally fell on the half-open bottle. Last night, after she lost control of her body in an instant, the bottle also fell involuntarily, but fortunately, the mouth of the bottle was relatively small, only a small half bottle of water was sprinkled, and the fish was not big, so she could still live half-dead until Gong Baorou woke up.

"I really don't know if it's a blessing or a curse." Gong Baorou muttered a few words and carefully put the bottle away. Suddenly, her eyes focused on the back of a fish.

Was it her delusion? Why did the silver pattern on the back of these fish yesterday turn into gold now? Gong Baorou blinked, making sure she was not mistaken.

What happened recently is a bit weird no matter how you look at it, Gong Baorou can't find the rules, and she doesn't dare to communicate with others, so she can only swallow all her doubts silently.

In the dining hall, Qiu Niang could only be seen busy alone, Gong Baorou looked at it curiously, and asked, "What about Uncle Li and Sister-in-law Li?" ”

"Mom and Dad went to the fields to do farm work, and my brother went out to play. Dad said that Sister Arou can tell me if there is any place she wants to go today, and I will take Sister Arou there. Qiu Niang replied very obediently.

Gong Baorou touched Qiu Niang's little face lovingly: "Have you had breakfast?" ”

"I've eaten it, these are Sister Arou's." What Qiu Niang took out was a bowl of hot porridge, accompanied by a snow-white steamed bun, smelling a fresh starch fragrance, which made people particularly appetizing. Gong Baorou didn't hurry and swept it all into her stomach.

It's so comfortable. Gong Baorou is a little nostalgic for this kind of life. She remembered that when she first returned to this era, she also wanted to live a simple life like this, but she didn't. Her heart seemed to be split in half, half clamouring for success and half crying out for peace and tranquility. Eventually, her reluctance made her succumb to the former.

She is unwilling to be just an unknown little chef, unwilling to be discriminated against by others everywhere, unwilling to be abandoned by herself...... There are too many unwillingnesses that make her seal away her innermost thoughts of longing for a peaceful and peaceful life, pretending that she is actually very satisfied with her current life.

Perhaps because of this influence, Gong Baorou didn't mention any spirit in the morning, and there was no good harvest from walking around the neighborhood with Qiu Niang. After eating lunch at noon, Qiu Niang ran over with great interest.

"Sister Arou, my second uncle is going to the neighboring village, let's go together."

"Neighboring villages?" Gong Baorou didn't know anything about the neighborhood, so naturally she didn't know what this neighboring village was.

"That's right, the village next door to us is called Baili Village, which used to be rich in thyme, and there are a lot of good things there." Qiu Nian was more excited than Gong Baorou, and her little face was flushed.

Gong Baorou cheered up, nodded and said, "Then let's go together." ”

Qiu Niang's second uncle looked younger than Uncle Li, and when Gong Baorou went out, he had been waiting there for a while.

"Let's go, if we're quicker, we'll be able to get back before dinner." Second Uncle Li is also a warm and generous person, and he saw that Gong Baorou was riding an ox cart for the first time, and patiently instructed and comforted her. Because it is an ox cart, the speed will be a little slower, but fortunately, the neighboring village is not far away, about an hour to arrive.

"Where did this girl come from?" Second Uncle Li and Gong Baorou chatted.

"I'm from Haicheng." Gong Baorou clung to the edge of the ox cart and was always worried about falling off as she swayed.

"It's a big city." Second Uncle Li said with a smile, but he was not as envious as Qiu Niang.

Gong Baorou smiled, what about the big city? Individuals have their own troubles, and they have their own happiness, regardless of where they live.

The ox cart had not been gone for twenty minutes when it suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Gong Baorou and Qiu Niang were originally lying on the ox cart, and they couldn't help but get up and look over.

In front of me was a small black car, parked sideways in the middle of the road. The roads in the countryside are not wide, and if they are blocked like this, Gong Baorou and they will not be able to pass.

"I'll take a look." Second Uncle Li turned over and got out of the car, walked over in a few steps, and a person also got out of the car opposite, looking like a driver. A few minutes later, Second Uncle Li came back and said to Gong Baorou: "The car over there is broken, I'll help them push the car over a little, you guys stay here obediently, don't run around." ”

"I see." Gong Baorou and Qiu Niang nodded in agreement.

Second Uncle Li went over to help them push the cart, and Gong Baorou noticed that there was another person coming down from the opposite side, who seemed to be an old man. A few minutes later, the car was pushed to the side of the road, freeing up a space to open for traffic. However, when Second Uncle Li came back, he also brought back the other two people.

"This old gentleman is also going to Baili Village, and his car is broken, so we will give him a ride." Second Uncle Li nodded to the old man, and then said to Gong Baorou.

Of course, Gong Baorou has no opinion, she and Qiu Niang are both smiling, and the two of them together account for less than half the size of the car.

The driver thanked Second Uncle Li and Gong Baorou gratefully, and helped the old man into the car. The old man didn't look very good, with a pair of glasses, thin and thin.

Since the old man got on the ox cart, the atmosphere was very quiet, Gong Baorou looked at Qiu Niang a little nervous, and said to the old man with a smile: "May I ask if you live in Baili Village?" ”

The old man looked back at Gong Baorou, first a little surprised, then very strict, and gradually, it turned into shock.

Gong Baorou couldn't help but touch her face, a little dazed.

"What's wrong? Do you have any questions? Gong Baorou asked.

The old man came back to his senses, swept away his previous listlessness, and looked at Gong Baorou and could see that a flower was coming.

"You're ......" the old man's voice was a little low, a little hoarse.

Gong Baorou smiled and said: "My surname is Gong, the palace of Gong Shangjiao Zhengyu, called Gong Baorou, the treasure of treasures, gentle and soft." ”

The old man's expression became meaningful: "My surname is Lu, just call me Grandpa Lu." ”

Qiu Niang and Gong Baorou obediently called "Hello Grandpa Lu", and then, this Grandpa Lu began to talk to Gong Baorou non-stop, and Gong Baorou was keenly aware that this Grandpa Lu was inquiring about the situation of his family without a trace.

"How old is Arou this year?"

"Seventeen." Gong Baorou replied politely and distantly.

"Seventeen years old, why do you look so thin." Grandpa Lu said dissatisfied.

Gong Baorou could only smile "hehe".

"Arou, where do you live now?"

"Sea City." Gong Baorou gave an answer that was not as good as not giving.

Grandpa Lu didn't ask, and the rest of the questions were bypassed by Gong Baorou, and in the end, Grandpa Lu could only look at Gong Baorou meaningfully: "You kid, you are really ......"

Gong Baorou still smiled politely and distantly. She is not stupid, how could she possibly say that she came to inquire about her family's situation like this.

Second Uncle Li probably felt something, the speed of the ox cart did not slow down because of the addition of an old man, but the speed was faster, and it arrived at Baili Village in less than an hour.

"Arou, my home is next to the village chief's house, I'm going to come to my house to play later." Grandpa Lu warmly invited.

Gong Baorou nodded politely. Grandpa Lu seemed to have something urgent, so he thanked Second Uncle Li and left in a hurry.

Second Uncle Li said to Gong Baorou: "I have also seen that old man, and he does live in the village chief's house, but he is relatively indifferent and doesn't talk to us very much, so he doesn't have any friendship." ”

Gong Baorou nodded to indicate that she understood.

"Wait for me at the village chief's house before five o'clock, and stay safe." Second Uncle Li said to Qiu Niang, "You are also familiar with this place, take Arou around and see more." ”

Qiu Niang obediently agreed, and Second Uncle Li put them down and went to work alone.

When Second Uncle Li gradually walked away, Qiu Niang seemed to be restored, and she had been silent before. She tugged at Gong Baorou's sleeve and motioned for her to bow her head.

"What's wrong?" Gong Baorou bent down and asked. Qiu Niang is not tall, only reaching Gong Baorou's chest. Gong Baorou was generally reluctant to look down at people, so she just bent down slightly.

Qiu Niang whispered: "I've also seen that old man, but ...... But he doesn't seem to have the surname Lu. ”

Not surnamed Lu? Gong Baorou frowned: "Then do you know what his surname is?" ”

Qiu Niang shook her head: "I just heard someone call him once, and I don't remember what his surname is." But I'm sure it's not Lui. ”

Gong Baorou touched Qiu Niang's head: "I know." ”

This old man had never appeared in her previous life, and of course, she had never been here in her previous life. But whoever he is and wants to hurt her family, there is no door!
