Chapter 67: You Won't Leave Me Alone
Gu Yan got up and went to the kitchen to get a few pieces of wood, sawed them to the size he wanted, added a few support points under the bed, and re-strengthened the loose places.
"Okay, you can push and see."
Ye Jin tried to push it, but the wooden bed didn't move at all, and she gradually increased her strength, but there was still no sound.
"I have little strength, I can't push, you can push and see."
Both of them squatted on the ground, unconsciously getting together, Gu Yan pushed hard a few times, and as soon as he turned around, his nose wiped the hair that Ye Jin pinned behind his ears.
The two were extremely close, Gu Yan could smell the fragrance on her body, and Ye Jin could even hear his heartbeat.
Both of them squatted and didn't move, until Ye Jin's squatting legs were numb, and they couldn't stand it anymore, so they stood up first.
"You've fixed the bed, and it looks sturdy now."
"Well, but this bed is a little old, and a lot of wood is rotten, and although it can be used for tinkering, it will still make a noise after a long time."
"It's okay, I'll buy a big bed when I make money later."
Ye Jin said this, but in her heart, she thought that when she made money, she would take her grandmother to the city to enjoy the blessings.
When the time comes, find someone to repair the family's old house, and one day grandma wants to come back and see that there is also a place to stay.
In the afternoon, Gu Yan was busy, sitting in the kitchen and polishing two boards, I don't know what method he used, the front end of the board was slightly curved, with a beautiful arc.
He picked two suitable sticks and put them in the corner of the wall, Ye Jin didn't know what medicine he was selling in his gourd, but although the thing he made was simple, it was quite interesting to look at.
"What did you do?"
Ye Jin squatted beside Gu Yan and asked curiously, remembering the embarrassment this morning, Gu Yan moved his body to the side quietly.
"A gadget, called a sled, can be stepped on a snowy day, and it is not easy to get stuck in the snow."
"That's really interesting, can you lend me to play with it when you're ready?"
That is, such a heavy snow in the past few days just came in handy, and after a few days the snow stopped, this thing could only be put in the corner of the wall to eat dust.
"That's definitely okay, but I'll have to verify it in the next two days, what if you use it inappropriately and your grandmother asks me to be responsible?"
Gu Yan made a pun, and Ye Jin glared at him: "It's not serious to speak." ”
Obviously, he can use the word accounting, but he wants to use responsibility, just deliberately ridiculing her!
Until dinner, the snow showed no signs of stopping.
There is no electricity in many places in the village, and both candles and kerosene lamps are a bit wasteful after dark, and the people in the village are used to going to bed early.
Grandma's house has four rooms, one of which is used to store sundries, one is for grandma to live in, one is reserved for Ye Jin, and the remaining one is usually not lived in and has not been cleaned up.
Fortunately, Gu Yan is a strong hands-on person, he tinkered with it himself, and wiped the dust in the house again, although the quilt is very old, but grandma often takes it out to dry when the weather is good, so it will not be moldy, but there is still a strange smell after a long time.
He wasn't a particular person either, so he took a shower and went back to his room by himself.
Ye Jin was very tired during the day today, and she couldn't sleep at night, she was wondering if there was an extra person in the next room, which affected her sleep.
She was counting the sheep with her eyes closed when she heard a squeak from next door.
She couldn't count the sheep anymore, so she sat up from the bed, her ears pressed to the wall, and listened carefully to the movements next door.
If she didn't calculate wrongly, it should be Gu Yan who didn't sleep at night and climbed out of the window.
The windows of the three rooms were lined up, Ye Jin stared at her windows in the dark, she wanted to see if Gu Yan was a gentleman or a villain?
She listened intently, and when she heard the footsteps, she walked away, and no one came to climb her window, and Ye Jin's heart finally put it in her stomach.
She lay down again and got into the warm quilt, which had a hot water bottle burned by her grandmother, not to mention how comfortable it was.
Gu Yan carried a machete on his shoulder, and walked into the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
The snow had been so heavy in the past two days that it had reached above my knees, and every step I took seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, and it was almost impossible to walk an inch.
Gu Yan tied the sleigh he had made during the day to his feet with hemp rope, and he tried to slide a few steps, and sure enough, he would not fall into it again.
He skated slowly at first, then faster and faster.
If someone goes out at this time, they will see a figure flash like a ghost in the snowy night.
Gu Yan came to the mountain by sled, there were not many serious roads on the mountain, plus the mountain road was potholed, there were stones and traps from time to time, Gu Yan didn't dare to slide anymore, he put the skateboard under a tree at will, and began to hike up the mountain.
I don't know how many times the trees under the mountain have been cut down by the villagers, and few of them can grow big, and only by going deep into the mountains can you find the wood you want.
There are a lot of trees in the mountains, and if any family wants to make furniture and carry some branches back to be used as firewood, the people in the village will turn a blind eye and treat it as invisible.
Gu Yan stepped on the snow and climbed the mountain for more than an hour, and then finally came to the woods where he frequented.
The trees there have been mined by the villagers, and many of them have grown into towering trees.
It's just that the terrain here is low, so standing in the distance, you can't see anything unusual about the trees here, at most you feel that these trees are too lush.
He picked up his axe and cut it hard, and in less than half an hour, he cut down a big tree, the trees here are all very good, and he didn't want to choose, so he cut down another one directly on the side.
Cutting down two trees in a row, Gu Yan felt that he had entered a state now, but he couldn't bring it back after seeing too much, so he could only give up.
He tied the trees with twine, one end of which was tied around his waist and the other on his shoulder.
The descent is a downhill road, and the mountain road is very slippery, and if a thin person goes down the mountain empty-handed, it is estimated that it is easy to roll over.
Gu Yan had a lot of strength, and it took a lot of effort to pull the two trees.
As dawn was about to break, Gu Yan finally dragged the two trees into the yard.
He had been tired for a day, and now he was tired for another night, and he opened the window lightly, and almost fell asleep.
Gu Yan slept very deeply this night, and he didn't wake up slowly until 9 o'clock in the morning.
"Wake up, what did you do last night?"
Ye Jin glanced at the two big trees in the yard, in fact, Ye Jin had collected a lot of news as early as when Gu Yan came back at night.
"I went to the mountain to cut down two trees, if the village cadres knew about it, would I be invited over for tea?"
Gu Yan was quite worried, but Ye Jin snorted and laughed.
"Tea? Don't have it at home? Need to drink someone else's? ”
Ye Jin was joking, and Gu Yan was also laughing.
"Anyway, I know that even if I make a mistake, you won't leave me alone."
