Chapter 88

The two rested in place for five days, and Chu Zhan fully recovered from the sequelae caused by the two days of running around, and the two left the place.

"This fish is really good. It has few spines and is delicious. The most important thing is that it has no fishy smell at all, and I don't know what kind of fish it is." Chu Zhan made a simple basket out of rattan, and Gu Ruoyao roasted it when he was free these two days Some fish were dried, and Chu Zhan had hunted a few pheasants for Gu Ruoyao to dry, so that they could be eaten on the way.

Chu Zhan had a soft spot for the whitebait in the cold pool.

Gu Ruoyao smiled, "If you like it, you can get someone to fish it again in the future, but now we should start on our way." After all, I don't know how many people will catch up behind me.

Chu Zhan nodded.

The two of them were very regular. They still gave acupuncture in the morning. After the acupuncture, Chu Zhan would sleep until noon. In the afternoon, the two of them started on their way. After seven or eight days like this, the more the cold poison in Chu Zhan's body was removed, the more lethargic he felt. The time is slowly decreasing.

On this day, the two finally walked out of the deep mountain. From a distance, they saw a young man walking with his head buried in a load of firewood, and almost bumped into the two of them.

"Yes, yes, I'm sorry." The young man blushed, put down the burden he was carrying, and put it by his side at a loss.do not know what to do.

"It's okay, it's okay, the road is narrow, and the little brother is still carrying firewood. It's our brother and sister's fault, sorry." Chu Zhan laughed heartily, fisted with both hands, and saluted the boy.

"No, no, no." The young man wanted to say something but couldn't say it, he waved his hands indiscriminately.

"Little brother, don't be nervous. Our brothers and sisters originally went into the mountains to collect herbs, but we lost our way when we didn't want to. After three or four days, we finally turned out of the mountain road. I don't know where this is. Is it convenient for my brother and sister to come out?" People follow?" Chu Zhan smiled embarrassingly at this point, "Otherwise, if he gets lost again, I don't know if he will have the luck to turn back."

A look of surprise flashed across the young man's dark face.

Of the two people in front of me, although the woman looks a little bit embarrassed, she is very good-looking, like a fairy in the sky, and the young man looks decent, he looks like a young master of a rich family, does this kind of person also need himself? Go into the mountains to collect herbs?

"Little brother?" Chu Zhan called out.

The boy came back to his senses, smiled embarrassedly, and hurriedly said, "Okay, there is no inconvenience, you can come with me." The boy picked up the firewood again and walked in front.

Chu Zhan and Gu Ruoyao looked at each other and followed behind the young man.

The young man's name is Shan Zi. Although he looks shy, he is very talkative after opening the chatter box.

He is the name of the village called Shanjiao Village at the foot of the mountain. His father died young, and he and his mother depended on each other at the foot of the mountain.

Hearing that the two of them had been wandering in the mountains for several days before they came out, and they didn't know where and how they got to the city. After that, he warmly invited the two of them to his house as guests, and he was taking the two of them to the city tomorrow.

There is nothing wrong with the two of them.

After walking for about half an hour, I saw a small village at the foot of the mountain in the distance.

Shanzi's home is not in the village, but in two adobe houses halfway up the mountain.

The house is made of loess, probably because of the long time, there are many cracks on the wall, and some thatch is stuffed to block the cracks. It seems that the life should be very poor.

"Mother, I'm back!" Before entering the door, Shanzi called out. Inside the simple wall made of tree trunks, a woman in coarse linen was feeding chickens, and she turned her head when she heard the sound.

"Mother, I brought the guests back." Shanzi quickly opened the fence gate and let the people in for two days. After putting down the firewood, he directly scooped water from a water tank under the wall to drink.

"Look at you, when you bring guests back, you don't invite anyone to sit in, but drink it yourself first." The woman spoke in a soft voice, not as rude as ordinary peasant women.

"Mom!" Shan Zi called out embarrassingly, then he touched his head and let the two into the main room.

The main room is extremely empty, except for a square table with peeling paint, there is nothing else.

The woman came in with two bowls of sugar water.

Chu Zhan and Gu Ruoyao stood up and thanked them.

"Mother, I met them in the mountains. They lost their way for several days before turning around. Let them rest at our house tonight. I will take them into the city tomorrow. Do you think so?" It is still the woman who decides.

The woman glanced at Gu Ruoyao and Chu Zhan with a smile, and nodded, "Sure, it's not impossible! Live at home with peace of mind today, and go to the city early tomorrow." After finishing speaking, her eyes fell on Gu Ruoyao's face, " Is the girl exhausted from the journey? I’m going to boil the water right now, and the girl can tidy up and sleep well, and I have to go on the road tomorrow!”

The woman stood up after speaking, Gu Ruoyao didn't have the nerve to let the woman go by herself, so she also followed to help.

Chu Zhan and Shan Zi were talking in the main room, but after a while, Gu Ruoyao came in again.

"Girl? What's wrong with your face? Is it an injury?" Shan Zi saw the black mark on Gu Ruoyao's face at a glance, and stood up hurriedly.

Chu Zhan's heart trembled, and he also stood up.

"No, no, no." Gu Ruoyao was afraid that the two of them would misunderstand, so she quickly waved her hands, "Well, I am, I want to help, but the aunt said, say."

"What did my mother say?" Shan Zi was a straightforward person, and asked immediately.

But Chu Zhan thought of something, and looked carefully at the charcoal-black marks on Gu Ruoyao's cheeks. When he understood something, the corners of his mouth curled up.

Gu Ruoyao glared at Chu Zhan angrily, and replied, "It's nothing, the aunt just said that I was tired from walking a few days ago, so let me rest." After speaking, she sat down on the bench beside the Sifang table.

"Oh? Oh!" Shanzi patted his head and sat down.

Shanzi couldn't sit still, so he sat with the two of them for a while, then went out, saying that he was helping his mother to light the fire.

Gu Ruoyao knew that she couldn't help, so she sat still.

"I asked just now. It takes two hours to walk to the nearest town. When we get to the town, we can take a bullock cart or rent a car to the county. I thought about it. If it is possible, we will buy it directly when we arrive in town tomorrow. Let’s go as soon as possible.” Seeing Shan Zi walking out, Chu Zhan said in a low voice.

Gu Ruoyao nodded, in this way, she would have to rest early today, so that she could go on her way tomorrow.

It's just that both of them underestimated Shan Ziniang's enthusiasm. After they walked out of the main room, they found that Shan Ziniang had killed the only old hen in the chicken shed, and the mother and son were shedding the chicken.

"Mother, why did you kill the chicken!" Gu Ruoyao frowned.This is the only hen in the family, so it's a pity to kill it like this.

"It's okay, it's seldom that there are guests at home," Shanziniang said, looking at the cheerful Shanzi, "Shanzi is happy, and I am also happy. Besides, this chicken is for eating after it is raised, and it is okay to kill and raise it again." No problem."
