In order to be able to rush back at dinner time and not let grandpa worry, at noon the next day, as soon as he had lunch, Zihan roared out of the door.

Grandpa Lin only thought that she had made an appointment with Zhao Wenqing, Liu Shengqiang and others to go to Ping'ertai, so he only smiled and shook his head at her back.

Zihan walked all the way through the door of Gu Shaoyuan's house, walked diagonally along the road for about 500 meters, and walked across the stone bridge built on the canal.

In the past, there were two roads in the past, a wider road that winds in a southwesterly direction to Ping'ertai, and a road that is only accessible to one frame car and goes southeast to Dashagou.

With his memory, Zihan walked on the trail on the left, walked more than forty meters, turned a small hill, and saw Gu Shaoyuan waiting there.

Inexplicably, when she looked at the young man who smiled softly at her after seeing her figure, the little rabbit in her heart jumped up unexpectedly.

At this time, she actually wished that she was really a twelve-year-old girl, and she didn't have those messy thoughts in her heart.

She tried to make herself look like a twelve-year-old girl, but the little rabbit that was jumping too happily was not under her control.

"Zihan, you're here."

Looking at Zihan, whose gaze was slightly lowered, the smile on the corner of Gu Shaoyuan's mouth couldn't help but stagnate.

Zihan seemed a little awkward when she saw him, and she must have remembered his 'indecent manners' to her that day after coming here.

His heart, which was unusually excited when he saw Zihan's small figure that was not as tall as his shoulders, was inexplicably heavy at the moment.

He tried to tell himself that if he wanted to be her brother, then he should take good care of her.

Hearing his gentle and concerned greeting, Zihan's heartbeat inexplicably missed half a beat, and even the steps under his feet were unexpectedly chaotic.

From here to the place where she saw Chi Lingzhi, the two of them had to walk for almost an hour and a half, she was so flustered, how could she go down the road behind?

"Brother Gu, you came so early."

Zihan replied softly, looking at the face with a gentle smile, she tilted her head hard, and pretended to be curious to sweep around.

She had to keep her composure, and she must not let him feel the slightest bit of her thoughts.

Although he coincided with the 'Prince Charming' in her heart, and although she wanted to help him, she only wanted to help him, after all, he was more than six years older than her.

Perhaps, by the time she grows up, he will already be a husband and a father.

Zihan, who thought like this, finally calmed down the happily jumping rabbit in his heart.

"I—I've just arrived."

Looking at the small figure that seemed to be walking from his side to the front a little awkwardly, his heart clenched tightly.

The unuttered words of 'I will be responsible for you' that day inexplicably rushed to my own throat chakra.

He clenched his hand tightly that seemed to be about to impulsively hold Zihan's small hand, and finally tried to swallow the words back.

After jumping over Gu Shaoyuan, Zihan's footsteps slowed down slightly.

When he caught up, she turned back to him and smiled quickly, then turned back to him.

"Brother Gu, how many herbs do you know?"

"Four or five!"

He has dug up licorice, white thorn root, angelica, astragalus, and bupleurum and is considered to know, but as for the red lingzhi that Zihan said, he has only heard of it, but has not seen it.

Zihan's eyes flashed slightly, "Brother Gu, let me teach you how to identify medicinal herbs!" ”

It's more than an hour away, and you always have to find something to talk about.

Teach him how to identify herbs and grow them with him in the future.
