Chapter 13 Call My Name
The scorching sun was scorching the earth, and the air was humid and sultry. Chu Yin nestled in Gu Yan's arms and did not sleep soundly.

Half asleep and half awake, she rubbed the man's strong chest. On a hot day, after working for so long, the breath on his body was still fresh, clean and smelled good.

"woke up?"

After noticing the movement of the person in his arms, Gu Yan lowered his eyes and looked down.

The woman's face was dirty, like a embarrassed tabby cat, but her eyes were black and white, bright and full of energy, and she looked completely trusting. Gu Yan looked away uncomfortably, and his heart moved inexplicably.

"Look what time it is?"

As he said that, Gu Yan glanced at his watch and motioned for her to check it. He was holding her and it was inconvenient to raise his hands.

Unexpectedly, the little woman looked up at the position of the sun and accurately reported the time, which was almost the same as the one on the dial.

As soon as Chu Yin turned his head, he saw the man's black pupils staring at him fixedly. He was puzzled, and when he was about to ask, he had already turned his eyes away.

After walking for a while, he put her down and sat against the roots of an old tree. He squatted down, touched the lush cattail grass on the ground, and turned his head to look at the three dirty children.

"There is a water source nearby. I'll go find it. You guys stay here and don't run around, okay?"

The three children nodded obediently, looking timid, as if they were a little afraid of him. Seeing this, Gu Yan turned around.

"Mr. Lang, be very careful. Go early and come back early..."

The little woman's worried instructions rang in his ears. Gu Yan paused in his steps. In the shadow of the trees, he revealed half of his noble profile, and his low and deep voice was like the cold spring in the mountain stream.

"Call my name."

After saying that, he picked up a stone and made a mark on the tree trunk. He looked at the sticky and hot sight on the back of his head, and in a blink of an eye, he disappeared into the vast greenery and disappeared.

The dazzling skylight penetrates the layers of branches and casts dots of light on the ground. The further down you go, the more solid the water vapor in the air is, almost hitting your face.

Pulling aside the densely covered branches, the gurgling stream was winding and shining in the sun. Gu Yan stood upstream and looked down. There was a dark green beer bottle on the bank.

He paused and was about to go down and pick it up to use as a container when he found a stone tablet standing there a few steps away, solemn and solemn.

That's a national border.

With his status, he cannot leave the country for life, and cannot cross even half a step...

On the other side, under the big tree, she was alone with her three children for the first time. Chu Yin felt a little embarrassed. She touched her knees with her fingers and asked tentatively:
"When were you arrested?"

Chu Yin's voice is gentle and graceful, without any aggression, making it easy for people to let go of their guard.

The three children looked at each other in confusion. After a while, the tallest girl mustered up her courage and said:
"Sister, my sister and I live in a nearby town. We went to the mountains to collect wild products a few days ago, and then they were arrested. As for him..."

The little girl paused and pointed to the youngest little bean sprout in the corner who had been crying.
"He said that he came here for a trip and got separated from his family..."

Chu Yin nodded, and then he realized that the little boy was actually a boy. His clothes were full of stains, but the fabric was very good. It was more than a bit more advanced than the coarse linen clothes of the other two girls.

Obviously, this kid is a kid from a rich family. He got separated from his family for some reason. The family must be going crazy right now, right?

"It's also pitiful..."

Chu Yin couldn't help but sigh softly, and glanced to the side. There were a bunch of purple-red berries hanging on the branches. They were all round and plump, which looked very pleasing to the eye.

She only managed to reach one with her feet. She wiped it with her sleeve, then handed it to the youngest boy and said with a smile, "Eat it."

Hearing this, the boy's eyes lit up and he reached out to take it.

However, just as he was about to stuff it into his mouth, his wrist was numbed by a pebble. The fruit rolled to the ground and was crushed to pieces by Gu Yan who came back.

The good fruit juice splashed everywhere, and when he saw the boy's little mouth shrinking, and tears gathering in his eyes, Chu Yin was a little angry, and he didn't know where he had the backbone, so he just wanted to scold the man regardless of the crackling.

When he turned around, he was so frightened that he fell down on the withered grass. His pupils trembled for several seconds, but he did not scream. Apparently he still remembered the three chapters of the agreement.

"Don't eat wild fruits randomly."

Seeing that she didn't make any noise, Gu Yan curled his lips. This woman actually kept her promise...

At this time, he was holding several large leaves in his left hand. The dark green leaves formed an inverted cone shape, containing clear water.

And in his right hand, he actually held a dead snake... The snake was as thick as a child's wrist, and it clattered in the air, which was quite scary.

Gu Yan casually threw the snake in front of the two girls.

What surprised Chu Yin was that the two girls didn't panic at all. They skillfully raised a sharp stone and began to process the snake meat without blinking an eyelid, as if doing this was a common occurrence.

Bang bang bang...again and again...

The smash made Chu Yin's heart tremble, and the boy next to him was so frightened that his face turned pale and he felt like vomiting.

Gu Yan arranged the leaves of the tree filled with water properly, and then used his feet to pull out a bunch of dead leaves. He glanced at the big and small children who were still in a dazed state, and said calmly:
"Come here and help light the fire."

"……Oh."

Chu Yin came back to his senses, not daring to look at the bloody scene at all. He picked up two dry pieces of wood from the ground, clasped his hands together, and started rubbing them.

Rub, rub, rub hard...

After a long time, the surrounding air gradually became quiet, so quiet that Chu Yin looked up uncomfortably, and found three children looking at him with confusion in their eyes, while Gu Yan's face remained expressionless, but the corner of his mouth twitched suspiciously...

Chu Yin was confused, lowered his head and continued to drill wood to make fire. The man snatched the stick away from him.

Before she could react, another big hand slowly reached towards her chest, and the slender fingertips were about to touch the front of the cheongsam, which made her pale face turn red from embarrassment.

Chu Yin quickly glanced at the three children with the end of his eyes, and whispered: "It's broad daylight...what are you doing!"

Gu Yan's forehead jumped, and he gently patted away the small hand that was protecting her chest. He tore off the small piece of crystal adorned on the cheongsam, rubbed it twice, and adjusted the distance while looking at the shadow on the ground.

The clear crystal sparkled, and beams of light refracted, converging on the pile of dead grass to form a bright spot. After a while, a puff of green smoke rose slowly.

"Burn!"

Chu Yin exclaimed in a low voice, causing several people to look at her strangely. This time, even the boy's eyes flashed with hatred, and his milky baby voice could be heard in his ears:
"Sister, I was able to use this to burn quilts when I was four years old. You are still drilling wood to make fire. You didn't go to school properly!"

Chu Yin was so embarrassed that he subconsciously glanced at the man next to him, and he met a pair of black eyes as dark as night.

Those clear eyes, stained with a tiny smile, were more dazzling than the sunlight above his head. Every time he caught his gaze, Chu Yin couldn't help but feel his heart tremble...
