Chapter Twenty-Six: Ascending the Mountain
On the way up the mountain, there were more than a dozen strong men, all of whom were holding tools, hoes or sickles.
"Brother Heng, you are so good to me, I am afraid that I am in danger, and you have found so many people to walk with me to protect me, Yueyue really doesn't know how to repay you." Lu Yueyue looked up at Gu Heng's side face, she was sorry at first, her original plan was that Gu Heng and her would go up the mountain alone, lonely men and widows, there can always be a lot of coincidences on the mountain, and the relationship between them will definitely be able to warm up by going up the mountain this time.
But......
When she set off, she saw that many villagers had followed, and they all listened to Gu Heng's orders. After a moment of disappointment, she looked at Gu Heng with even more admiration in her eyes, such a man, how fortunate she Lu Yueyue was to have him to take care of her, just to ensure her safety.
Lu Manman took Gu Qin's hand and walked behind Gu Heng, and when she heard Lu Yueyue's words coldly, goosebumps fell to the ground, and the corners of her lips twitched, waiting for Gu Heng to refute Lu Yueyue, but Gu Heng didn't.
"Brother Heng, are you tired?"
"Brother Heng, are you thirsty? I brought water, do you drink a little? Lu Yueyue handed the kettle to Gu Heng.
"I'm a little thirsty, thanks."
The kettle was taken away, Lu Yueyue was stunned, and then turned to look at Lu Manman, her eyes seemed to be about to breathe fire: "Lu Manman!" How can you be everywhere! β
Lu Manman drank a sip of water, sweet? This Lu Yueyue added honey to the water, but the water was still not delicious: "Don't call me sister?" β
Lu Yueyue came back to her senses, glanced at Gu Heng quickly, and saw that Gu Heng was also looking at Lu Manman, she quickly restrained her anger and said softly: "Sister, Brother Heng went up the mountain this time to help find his father, and the water I prepared for Brother Heng, don't drink it." β
Damn it! She added something to this water, she is now standing next to Gu Heng, Gu Heng drank the water, it was bound to be a little different, and when he was seen by the people around him, he must be responsible for her, but he didn't expect to be drunk by Lu Manman.
Wait, if it is drunk by Lu Manman, it is also a good thing. As long as she watched Gu Heng closely, she let the effect of the medicine on Lu Manman's body attack for a while, then ...... Gu Heng will never marry Lu Manman, and Gu Qin's family will no longer like Lu Manman, as for Lu Manman's fate...... Self-inflicted!
Lu Manman was stunned by the smile on Lu Yueyue's face, she looked at the kettle in her hand, and decisively returned the kettle to Lu Yueyue.
"Lu Yueyue, there are a lot of people who are traveling together, how do you know that Gu Heng let the villagers go with you to protect you and not increase the possibility of finding your father?"
The expression on Lu Yueyue's face narrowed, and she wanted to say that she was amorous? Then she said that Lu Manman was ignorant: "Sister, your injuries have not been healed, you live in the Gu family, you still know that it is to reduce the burden on your mother, why do you still have to come with you when you go up the mountain today?" β
"You mean I'm a drag?" Lu Manman's brows moved, Lu Yueyue became smarter, and she even knew that she had changed the focus to avoid her problems.
"My sister knows it." Lu Yueyue looked at Lu Manman, if it weren't for the obvious scar on Lu Manman's forehead, she would have to say that Lu Manman was pretending to be sick.
"Of course I know it."
Lu Yueyue was surprised that Lu Manman didn't refute her words, didn't Lu Manman understand the meaning of her words? I was about to speak, just listening:
"I am my father's favorite daughter, he went up to the mountains to hunt for a long time and did not return, even if I was injured, I still wanted to come to him in person. Originally, I also knew that I came to be a drag, but I always believed that there was a sense between family and blood, so I ...... Just ......" Lu Manman didn't continue, she just lowered her eyelids.
"Manman, good boy, my aunt knows your filial piety." Gu Qin's sense of Lu Manman's loss, and hurriedly comforted her, she clenched Lu Manman's hand: "You are a blessed child, seeing that you live in our house, even if you follow Brother Heng to farm, you can bring blessings to our family, if you follow the mountain this time, you will definitely be able to find Lu Feng." β
Lu Manman nodded, hoping to really find Lu Feng, although she was not the real owner, but when Lu Feng was mentioned, her mood would still fluctuate, she looked ahead, the mountain road was long, there were many trees, and she didn't know where he was.
"Manman is a good boy, aunt of the Gu family, with such a daughter-in-law, your family's blessings are behind." The big cow in the same village heard their conversation and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
When Gu Qinshi heard this, a smile was obvious on his face: "That is, don't say that the blessing is behind, even now, my family is very blessed." β
Gu Qin's family hadn't forgotten that if it weren't for Lu Manman, her family wouldn't have found ginseng. The ginseng was exchanged for money, and she didn't have to worry about Gu Heng's cultivation in the next few years.
"Yes, yes, what the Gu family's aunt said is right, it's my big cow who can't speak." After speaking, Da Niu looked at Gu Heng: "Brother Heng, should we go up together on the next road?" β
"I remember that there is a small road not far ahead, and although I have not hunted, but I know that the prey can not be trapped on the avenue, and I am tired of Brother Da Niu to help me tell the villagers, we are three people in a team, each of us is separately searching, two hours later, we will meet together and go down the mountain, and when I go back, I will thank you all well."
"Eh, it's all from the same village to say thank you." After Da Niu finished speaking, he immediately gathered the manpower, and after allocating the manpower, he prepared to disperse to find someone.
The big bull left them, but unfortunately they didn't divide Lu Manman. No, she must not be allowed to be with Gu Heng! Lu Yueyue sank her eyebrows and stopped the big bull who left: "Brother Da Niu, my sister is right, there is a blood relationship between parents and children, if you separate me from my sister, this will also increase the possibility of finding my father." β
Hearing this, Da Niu looked at Lu Manman and was about to agree, but when he saw Lu Manman looking at Gu Heng, he immediately understood in seconds, this Lu Manman is Gu Heng's fiancΓ©e, how can he not follow him, although it will be very troublesome to take a woman, but Lu Yueyue's words are not unreasonable: "You are right." β
Lu Yueyue was overjoyed in her heart, and her smile had not yet had time to spread, so she just listened:
"Yueyue, you come with us."
Lu Yueyue looked at Da Niu with wide eyes, and retorted without thinking: "I said that I would let my sister go with you, why do you still want to call me?" β
Lu Manman looked at Lu Yueyue, the intention of wanting to separate her was too obvious, she frowned, to be honest, she didn't want to go with Lu Yueyue to affect her mood.
"I can't do without Gu Heng, you can go."
Da Niu's footsteps stagnated when he heard this, there are still many people around, Lu Manman is not ashamed to say such straightforward words, but how much he likes Gu Heng.
"Sister...... You're a girl...... How can you say ......?"
"Okay, don't delay the time, she's right, Lu Manman and my mother follow me, Lu Yueyue, you follow Da Niu." Gu Heng made the final decision.
Lu Yueyue's face sank, and she wanted to say something, but Gu Qin's and Lu Manman's both walked in front of her, and Gu Heng also began to leave, it seemed that she was really not going to take her.
