Lin Xiaoxi politely called people one by one and said goodbye.

Then he ran to Gu Xiaoxiao's side, raised his head and said, "Mother, let's go back!" ”

She smiled and nodded.

"Okay, go back to sleep."

Outside, Lin Erbao, Wang Xiulian, and Lin Sanbao stood on the edge of the courtyard dam.

See people come out.

Brush down in unison.

Gu Xiaoxiao was slightly surprised and raised her eyebrows.

It seems that she is not the only one who wants to leave.

Walking on the field path in the vast night.

Wang Xiulian walked with a big belly a little difficult, and everyone was not in a hurry to go back, deliberately slowed down and walked slowly.

Cicadas chirp frog calls.

Swirl in the ear.

Starry at night.

Brilliant and eye-catching.

Gu Xiaoxiao raised her eyes and looked at the night sky, with a shallow smile on the corner of her mouth.

She's also a family man.

is no longer alone, struggling alone.

She categorically would not let anyone hurt her family.

......

Inside the Hayashi family at the end of the village.

There was a faint glow.

The sound of conversation and washing rang out.

After a while, the light went out.

The conversation faded into silence.

......

Early morning.

Morning glow, radiant.

Gu Xiaoxiao was called out by Lin Erbao early.

After a simple breakfast, each person pinned a firewood knife to his waist and headed towards the mountain.

Before leaving, Gu Xiaoxiao told Wang Xiulian to pay attention to her body.

Don't lift heavy things.

Don't go out.

Don't just open the door.

"Mother-in-law, everything you said, daughter-in-law has taken it to heart. You have to pay attention to safety, there are many snakes, rats, insects and ants in the mountains, you should be more careful. ”

Wang Xiulian smiled a little helplessly, but her heart was warm.

It's like a warm current, flowing endlessly.

"I see. Go and rest, don't stand all the time. ”

After explaining everything properly, Gu Xiaoxiao went out with Lin Erbao.

As soon as the front foot man left, the aunt of the Liu family came to the door with an embroidered basket on the back foot.

Seeing Aunt Liu coming, Wang Xiulian's heart was even softer.

I don't have to guess to know that before my mother-in-law left, I specially called Aunt Liu to come.

The mother-in-law was really worried about her.

also really treats her as a member of his family.

She Wang Xiulian categorically will not live up to this kindness, and she must give birth to a big fat boy for her mother-in-law!

......

Into the mountains.

Gu Xiaoxiao looked around, this was the mountain where she found the pool.

There used to be lush weeds and trees everywhere, but since the village has been in a famine.

All the roots that could be dug up in the forests of the front mountain have been removed.

The ground was bare.

Only a few large trees stand in the sporadic way.

The two did not stay here.

Walk deep into the mountains.

Lin Erbao didn't say a word and walked ahead.

Gu Xiaoxiao didn't speak.

Cautiously observe your surroundings.

After walking silently for a while, Lin Erbao in front of him suddenly stopped and turned his head to look.

Gu Xiaoxiao also paused.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Erbao looked at her face and didn't know what he was thinking.

Half an hour later.

"Nothing."

Twisted his head with a depressed face.

When my mother and my little sister are together, there are always endless words.

But why is there only silence when you are alone with him?

And the tension that was felt all the time.

The mother is really eccentric.

What else do you say will be treated equally?

It's a complete lie!

Gu Xiaoxiao caught Lin Erbao's flashing gloom.

She doesn't have the ability to read minds, so she naturally doesn't know what the little villain is thinking.

I just feel inexplicable.

She didn't do anything and didn't say anything.

Why did you suddenly get angry again?

This person is really hard to figure out, and he has an expression at a moment.

The two of them had their own thoughts and went straight to the deep mountains and forests.

After half an hour, I climbed to the top of the mountain.

The wind of the hill is slightly moist and cool.

The heat of climbing the mountain was all swept away.

The slightest coolness soaked through her heart, and Gu Xiaoxiao's mood was much better at this moment.

Half-squinted, he glanced around.

The little villain has led the way sideways.

The deep pool was in a hollow halfway up the mountain, and they were almost at the top of the mountain.

This trip is estimated to be touched, I'm afraid it's no fun.

She had planned to lead the little villain to the deep pool, but the first time she went up the mountain to find water, she found that it was too suspicious.

Besides, the little villain himself is suspicious.

This trust that has been built up with great difficulty, and she doesn't want to be ruined beyond recognition because of this stubble.

Anyway, the last well in the village has not yet dried up completely.

It doesn't hurt to delay it any longer.

There is an essential difference between having a choice and having no other choice.

Before the well dries up, the deep pool is found, and the people in the village will only remember it for a while, and forget it over time.

Only when you taste the sweetness in despair will you remember it forever.

The two of them walked around in a big circle.

And nothing.

Lin Erbao's lips were pursed, and his eyebrows were lowered.

Obviously a little disappointed.

But it was not spoken.

Gu Xiaoxiao saw the little villain's thoughts, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said with relief:

"It's okay, it's hard to find a spring in the deep mountains."

"I can't find it this time, let's come back the day after tomorrow, don't be discouraged."

"Well, let's go down the mountain."

Up and down.

The hour flies.

Wait until the two get home.

It's noon.

Wang Xiulian stood next to her, holding a handkerchief in her hand, "Mother-in-law, what do you gain from entering the mountain?" ”

After washing her face with cold water, Gu Xiaoxiao pulled the veil.

While wiping, he walked to the bottom of the tree.

"Nothing, but I picked up some fungi and came back."

"That's ......"

A trace of regret flashed in Wang Xiulian's eyes.

Gu Xiaoxiao and Lin Erbao went up the mountain to find the spring, and Wang Xiulian, who stayed at home, was full of expectations, hoping that they would be able to find it.

If the spring is found, the whole village will no longer have to worry about running out of water to drink.

It's just that...... It's a pity.

Lin Erbao held a bowl in one hand and a small stool in the other.

Sitting under the persimmon tree, eating lunch.

Wang Xiulian reacted at this time, her mother-in-law had just come back, and she hadn't even eaten a hot meal.

"Mother-in-law, I'll go serve you dinner."

After speaking, without waiting for anyone to react, she had already run into the stove room.

Wiped all the water off her face, Gu Xiaoxiao sat down on a chair.

After climbing the mountain, my whole leg was very sore.

A bowl of rice was handed to her, and below it was a full load of white rice, covered with minced eggplant.

Oily.

It looks very attractive.

Gu Xiaoxiao, who had an empty stomach, swallowed her saliva.

I took the bowl of rice and ate it in a big gulp.

Climbing a mountain is too energy-intensive.

She's really hungry.

A large bowl of minced eggplant mixed with white rice all entered Gu Xiaoxiao's stomach.

She wiped her mouth.

A long sigh of contentment.

As the saying goes—

People are iron, and rice is steel.

If you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry.

After a brief cleanup of dinner, Gu Xiaoxiao went out again.

Doctor Lin Village threw Lin Zihua to her, and it was impossible to ignore it.

What should be taught still has to be taught.

She's old, but she doesn't want to be beaten......
