He moved his hand faster, and put the jade crown and purse together. After studying it for a while, he finally put on the straw sandals on his feet, stood up carefully and walked out, with his black hair spread out behind him.
It wasn't as prickly as he had imagined, and of course it couldn't be compared to soft boots, but it wasn't too uncomfortable either.
In this way, Xiang Yunjin, wearing straw sandals, slowly got out of the cart with the help of Gulan. The initial discomfort was slightly relieved after walking a few steps.
They came to the place where they had relieved themselves last night. This time, Gulan did not follow him closely. Seeing that he could barely stand, he made sure that there was no problem and took the initiative to walk to the other side and wait.
It is enough to face this embarrassment once. Before she knew it, a long while had passed and Gulan began to wonder if it had been taking too long. Thinking of this man's injury, Gulan turned her back and shouted worriedly: "Brother Jin, are you okay?"
No one answered.
"Brother Jin..." Gulan called out again, and just as she was about to turn around to take a look, a slightly awkward sentence came over, "Brother Gu, do you have any paper?"
This sentence successfully stopped Gulan from turning around, and her expression was very strange. No wonder there was no movement for such a long time, this turned out to be the reason.
"Well...there's no paper, so Brother Jin, please bear with it and use whatever is available. You can...use leaves, branches or grass." Gulan said with a smile, giving a friendly reminder.
Thanks to Brother Jin's reminder, she really overlooked this point. There was so much toilet paper in the space that she didn't even think about or prepare any toilet paper.
When a farmer goes to the toilet, he either uses local materials or prepared bamboo or wood chips in advance. He would never use paper, which is a privilege for the rich and powerful.
Xiang Yunjin: "..."
He stared in amazement at Gulan who was standing not far away with his back to him. He had never thought that he would encounter such an embarrassing thing, and he looked at the plants around him in shock! So if he didn't want to stay here all the time, he had to use local materials. Xiang Yunjin looked like he wanted to make the plants around him bloom. But the pain in his body and sore legs forced him to compromise, and he finally reached out and pulled it up.
"Okay," the two words of disdain came out, and Gulan quickly turned around to help him. Looking at Xiang Yunjin's indescribable expression, Gulan was rarely gloating, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
She quickly walked to the carriage, and seeing that Xiang Yunjin had no intention of getting in, she helped him sit on a rock under a big tree. It's really stuffy lying down all the time, it would be good to get out and get some fresh air.
"He's awake"
Seeing a stranger under the tree, Brother Li and his friends came over curiously.
"Is he okay?" Li Da said with concern.
Even though he was sitting, you could still tell that he was quite tall, but his hair was loose and his face couldn't be seen clearly.
Gulan nodded, "Much better."
"Fortunately, he is so lucky to meet you." Li Da sighed.
If it were someone else, they would just take a closer look at it, and it would be almost impossible for them to pick it up. Otherwise, why would he say he was lucky? That is, Gulan was soft-hearted.
Gulan smiled and said nothing.
Li Da has a good personality. He can quickly chat with people he knows or doesn't know. He is not afraid of strangers. He sat down next to Xiang Yunjin and said in a familiar manner: "Brother, why are you in the deep woods? And you are so sick?..."
As Li Da was talking, he wanted to pat Xiang Yunjin on the shoulder out of habit, but when he saw the weak aura Xiang Yunjin exuded, he didn't do it in the end. He was really afraid that this pat would make him faint again.
Li Da tilted his head with gossip in his eyes, but as he moved slowly towards Xiang Yunjinband saw his face clearly, the question in Li Da mouth suddenly stopped. His eyes suddenly widened and he stared at Xiang Yunjin in a daze. His body shuddered and he completely forgot what he wanted to ask. 'Why does it feel a little different from what I saw yesterday? Come to think of it, it seemed like he didn't see it carefully yesterday.'
When this man was unconscious yesterday, his face was almost covered by his hair, and he was lying on his side, so Li Da really don't know what he looked like.
This appearance is really a bit scary. Half of the face was still visible, but the other half, from the eyes to half of the face, was covered by a patch of dark red skin. Not only that, it was also covered with bumps of all sizes, some of which were even ulcerated. In short, if you were not mentally prepared, it would be really scary at first glance. Even a grown man like him was shocked.
But then he reacted and a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face, as if his reaction was a little hurtful. Being ugly is not something that can be decided, Li Da smiled embarrassedly at Xiang Yunjin.
"Well, Gulan, I suddenly remembered that Dad seemed to have something to talk to me about. I go over there first."
He rushed towards Yunjin and smiled awkwardly again, then winked at his brothers and left quickly. His reaction just now was a bit extreme. It would be better for him to leave first to avoid embarrassment for himself and others.
Although Xiang Yunjin didn't know what kind of horrible appearance he was painted into, he could imagine that the effect must have been amazing since it could scare a grown man. Xiang Yunjin touched his face and looked at Gulan with a strange look.
Gulan raised her eyebrows in response, as if to say again: "You're welcome."
Next, looking at the three children sitting by the fire, Gulan gave them a brief introduction.
"This is my son AnAn, and they are DaYa and ErYa."
"You already have a son?" Xiang Yunjin was really surprised. Looking at Gulan, if he hadn't told him, he really couldn't have guessed that Gulan would have such a big son.
"Is there anything strange?" Gulan glanced at him.
"No, I'm just a little surprised. Brother Gu looks young and the child is very cute."
Xiang Yunjin smiled slightly at AnAn, totally unaware that he now had an ugly face, and his face immediately turned ferocious with this smile. If AnAn hadn't been trained by Gulan constantly and become much braver, he would probably have been scared to tears by now.
Even so, the little guy still hugged his mother's thighs tightly, and at the same time felt a little strange: 'Why has this uncle changed?.' However, he chose to remain silent as he did not like to talk much in front of outsiders.
Xiang Yunjin searching around his body and then realized that all his things were in the carriage and he hadn't taken anything with him.
"I forgot. I don't have anything with me. I'll give you the gift later." Xiang Yunjin said frankly. He didn't feel embarrassed. After all, the clothes on him were not his own.
"Thank you, I appreciate your kindness, but it's really not necessary. You are weak, so keep your strength and don't say anything more." Then she turned to her son and said, "AnAn, can you help Dad take care of this uncle?" Gulan pretended not to notice that her son was afraid.
AnAn always listened to his mother. He glanced at the person on the stone, thought for a moment, and then nodded at his mother. Although this man is ugly, he is sick. Sick people are very pitiful, so he should take care of him.
Seeing this, Gulan laughed. After touching her son's furry hair, the little guy became a lot braver. Gulan was very pleased that her efforts were not in vain, and turned to devote herself to the task of cooking.
During this period, the village chief announced that they would rest for another day. What this means is that the road is still a bit muddy due to the heavy rain, and they can't walk far with their straw sandals, so they can only wait. The environment here is good, and there is food and water, so people are not in a hurry. Just wait a day. If there were houses here, some people would even want to stay here.
Gulan didn't care about the news. It made no difference to her whether it came earlier or later. She was not in a hurry and was still a little confused about the road ahead. It's a good opportunity to go to the forest again and catch more wild animals. With so much silver, I should make more delicious food, which will make me feel more at ease.
