Chapter 3 as it is

This village is located in the mountains, and the mountains are connected together, and the places with many people gradually settle down to form a village.

Gu Zaoli didn't let her follow the begging, so she didn't dare to go against Gu Zaoli, but she still hoped that she could do something, and she couldn't sit still and wait for her illness to be driven away by him.

There was a small puddle of water accumulated by the rain in front, Wen Ruyan squatted next to the puddle, scooped a handful of clean water on it with his hands, trying not to touch the soil at the bottom, the cold water hit his face, with a cool and comfortable.

Wen Ruyan carefully washed her face with the water of this puddle, and her whole face was exposed to the air, and her pores were opened, with an indescribable comfort.

Because she has been in the temple for a long time, she is usually disgraced, even if she doesn't go to begging, it is not better than asking for food on the street.

But now the mud has been gently brushed off with water, and a delicate little face has surfaced on the water.

This face looks very small, because of long-term starvation, there is no baby muscle on the face, and a pair of eyes are also bulging outward, but her eyes are like a pool of clear water, smart and clear to make people happy, the small and tall nose hooks a beautiful arc, and the cherry lips are dried up due to lack of water, but the outline is obsessive.

Her facial features weren't the kind of amazing ones, and the eleven-year-old baby's face hadn't grown yet, but the combination of these features was indescribably comfortable, as if they were supposed to be like this.

Looking at his reflection in the puddle, Wen Ruyan suddenly thought of Gu Zaoli's dusty face.

I don't know how Gu Zaoli will react when he sees his appearance.

What does his dusty face look like when it's washed clean?

aroused curiosity, Wen Ruyan's lips curled slightly, and she looked forward to returning to the City God Temple.

Standing up and patting the water on her face dry, Wen Ruyan continued to walk towards the mountain, if Gu Zaoli didn't ask for anything to eat today, I don't know if she would find something to eat in the mountain.

The sky in the mountains is easier to get darker and faster, the rainy sky is dotted with twinkling stars, Gu Zaoli is draped in stars, and walks into the City God Temple at night.

There was no one in sight above the straw mat, he looked around, and did not see Wen Ruyan's figure.

"Looking for your daughter-in-law?"

Someone heard the movement and shouted to see the show.

"Where's she?"

"I'm gone, I'm afraid I think you're poor, so I ran away with someone else, and when I saw her go in the morning, I thought I was looking for you."

Gu Zaoli lowered his head and looked at his tattered straw sandals, his ten fingers were exposed, he looked at it for a while and didn't know what to think, and walked towards his straw mat.

This straw mat didn't exist before, he was used to wandering as a rough man, but when Wen Ruyan saw her fine skin and tender meat, he found this straw mat.

He lay on the straw mat and his thoughts flew away, so that he didn't have to worry about not being able to feed two people, and he didn't have to let go of the white porridge he had robbed, maybe Wen Ruyan was with a rich man now, and now he was eating well, there was a warm house, and there were warm meals.

He took out half of the steamed bun from his clothes, put it to his mouth and sniffed it.

This is reserved for Wen Ruyan, and it seems that there is no need for it now.

But he said what if, what if Wen Ruyan didn't run away, but was abducted and trafficked, or got lost and couldn't find his way back?

"I'll go out." Gu Zaoli said that the steamed buns were put back in his arms and rushed out.

The people of the City God Temple let out a mocking laugh again.

Gu Zaoli didn't bother to answer them, he ran fast, and suddenly heard someone next to him whispering, and called him softly.

Wen Ruyan realized at this time that she didn't know what the name of this life-saving benefactor was, she was fifty meters away from returning to the City God Temple, but she seemed to see Gu Zaoli running out in a hurry.

Just about to ask what was wrong, Gu Zaoli grabbed her arm, took the whole person into his arms and pulled her into the corner.

Suddenly, Wen Ruyan looked at the panting man in front of him at a loss.

The foreheads of the two were against their foreheads, Gu Zaoli's rough panting was sprayed on her neck, a little itchy, and she saw her face reflected in his eyes, and a touch of surprise in his eyes.

She didn't push him away, and asked in a low voice, "Did something happen?" ”

Gu Zaoli's appearance was a little wrong, as if something big had happened.

Gu Zaoli bit his lip and didn't speak, he suddenly squatted down and touched the wet ground twice, viciously pasting the mud on his hand on Wen Ruyan's face.

Wen Ruyan: "......??? ”

Wen Ruyan looked at the man in front of him with a confused expression, and heard him say fiercely: "You are like this, be careful of being robbed to be a concubine." ”

“……”

Wen Ruyan listened to the man's gradually stable breathing, probably guessed something, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly: "It seems that you are still reluctant to drive me away." ”

He hugged the man's arm: "You also know that I have amnesia, if you really drive me away, I am very pitiful without relatives and no reason, I only know you." ”

Gu Zaoli looked at her face covered with mud, these nights Wen Ruyan always quietly got up to wash his torn socks, and manually waved a fan to dry him, he just didn't say anything in his eyes.

Wen Ruyan's eyes were wet, and she looked pitiful like a stray dog wagging her tail and begging for adoption.

Gu Zaoli coughed twice, glanced at his hand, and looked away: "I have half a steamed bun in my arms, eat it quickly, don't be hungry." ”

His hands were covered in mud, and if he went to get the steamed buns, he would definitely waste them.

The woman's clear laughter sounded, and she ate the steamed buns in three or two clicks, and licked the scum on her fingers by the way.

Gu Zaoli said disgustedly: "Laughing like a fool." ”

He suddenly noticed that Wen Ruyan seemed to be holding something in his other hand.

Feeling Gu Zaoli's gaze, Wen Ruyan took out the weeds in his hand as if he was offering a treasure: "This is fern, you can eat it, even if you don't get food in the future, we can eat this." ”

Wen Ruyan's face was full of praise for me, praise me for me, Gu Zaoli looked funny, but deliberately turned his face away as if he didn't see it.

"I've thought about it, our City God Temple is a small group, and if we are the only ones who hide and eat alone, it will be easy to be targeted, so I decided to let everyone share the food together, so that they will also remember our kindness and will not be hungry enough to eat people."

Gu Zaoli thought about another layer, if Wen Ruyan was really kind to those people, when he was not in the temple, they would also take care of him.

He lowered his head and washed his hands, smiled and patted his head, which was half shorter than himself: "You have a good brain, let's go back." ”
