Chapter 25: She's Stubborn
Tao Sixi carefully put away the medicine bottle, thanked the Gu brothers again and left quickly.
Gu Nanxing sent her outside the courtyard and tried to persuade her to let him go with him, but Tao Sixi refused again.
"Well, you must be careful when the time comes, the mountain road is not easy to walk, you must bring a long stick and a firewood knife, whether you find it or not, you must go down the mountain before dark, remember!" Gu Nanxing had to advise again.
Her sincere concern moved Tao Sixi's heart.
But she didn't let herself go.
Lean against the mountain, and the mountain will fall.
By water, water will flow.
Rely on people, people will go.
This is the lesson she paid for in her previous life with blood.
In this life, she doesn't want to be attached to anyone anymore, what she wants, she only relies on her own ability to fight for it!
After sending Tao Sixi away, Gu Nanxing returned to the hall and found that his younger brother Gu Beichen was still sitting at the table, looking at the road map on the table in front of him that was about to dry, as if he was distracted.
"I really don't know what Sister Sixi thinks, how good it would be for me to accompany him into the mountains to find medicine, multiple people and multiple helpers, isn't it? But I said that she just wouldn't agree, hey! ”
Hearing Gu Nanxing's confusion behind him, Gu Beichen tilted his head slightly, and the corners of his good-looking lips slightly hooked a faint arc.
"She's a stubborn girl." Gu Beichen said lightly.
Not only stubborn, but also very self-reliant and self-reliant.
Obviously a small black and thin body, standing there is so weak and vulnerable, but it gives him an indescribable feeling.
It seems that there is a huge amount of strength hidden in that thin body.
"Second brother, you say, Sixi can go up the mountain tomorrow to find the dragon bone grass smoothly?"
Gu Nanxing didn't know the bottom in his heart, so he caught Gu Beichen and asked again.
Gu Beichen smiled faintly, "Brother, brother, I am not a prophet, this question is really unanswerable." I can only say, do your best and listen to the destiny of heaven! ”
Gu Nanxing frowned and said, "I hope God can see Sister Sixi's sincerity to her brother, and bless her to find the dragon bone grass with enough years of age!" ”
The sun is gradually setting, and smoke curls over the huge Tang Village.
The old Tao family, as usual, the men accompanied the old man Tao to smoke dry tobacco in the dining hall, chatted about the arrangement of the spring work, and waited for the dinner in the stove room next door.
And Fan Shiqiang pressed the sadness in his heart, and took Tao Eryun to be busy in the smoke and fire of the stove room, preparing a night dinner for the family.
At the gate of the courtyard, Da Ming in the second room was playing outside with a few children of the same age, jumping around the big roots of the old maple tree, and the children's crisp laughter came into the yard one after another.
Fan poked his head out of the house from time to time and shouted at the door of the courtyard: "Da Ming, run slower, Mopi, it's a shame to break your leg when you bump into it......"
This sound came into the stove room, and Fan's tears fell into the rice pot......
"Mother, don't cry, I should scold you again when I see you." Tao Eryun persuaded in a low voice, and his voice was rustling.
This morning, when I was having breakfast, my grandmother ran into my mother crying and scolded my mother.
said that the mother's crying bad luck wants to die......
Hearing Tao Eryun's reminder, Fan quickly picked up the apron around his waist and wiped it on his face.
"Eryun, why do you say your brother's life is so bitter? He's only eight years old, so if he's really lame in the future, what's the matter? Fan said anxiously.
Tao Eryun hugged Fan's shoulders tightly, his eyes were red, but he didn't know what to do to comfort his mother.
