Lin Ranran has been trying to find the fairy tree since he ate the fairy tofu sent by Abu last time. While picking wild strawberries these days, he took the opportunity to travel all over the valleys, hillsides and some fields in Tianshui Village, but he didn't find any trace of the fairy tree.
On the way, Abu's family sent honey again, which brought a clue to Lin Ranran: "My father said, this fairy tree is also called the two-winged six-door tree, and the turtledove likes to build nests on the tree."
"Abu, thank you!" Lin Ranran was overjoyed, and then asked concerned, "Abu, is your father's leg better?"
Abu said happily: "I have money to buy medicine, and my father's legs are much better. My father also said that he knows several large beehives. When his leg injury is healed, he will go to make honey and send it to sister."
Abu gave him eight catties of honey this time, and in exchange for Lin Ranran a lot of eggs and supplies, Lin Ranran also gave him a bottle of wild strawberry jam, and happily carried it home.
Lin Ranran was also very happy. There was a turtledove on the fairy tree, so it would be much easier to find it. If she could find the Immortal Tree, she would no longer have to worry about famine. Lin Ranran asked Xie San, who often went hunting in the mountains, to temporarily put aside this matter and concentrate on making raspberry jam.
It will soon be Monday.
Lin Ranran entrusted Xiaoqiu Xiaojing to Mrs. Hongxia, and let Mrs. Hongxia and Xie Fei continue to work on the wild strawberry jam¡ªnow they can cook alone without Lin Ranran watching.
Early in the morning, Lin Ranran took her things and hitchhiked into the city.
It has been a long time since I entered the city, and Lin Ranran felt a different atmosphere just after entering the city gate. The last time I went to the city was before the Chinese New Year. Although the city was still dusty at that time, there was still a wave of popularity, and it was bustling, and people still had hope on their faces.
But now the people I saw on the road were all yellow and thin, with dull eyes, and hurriedly ran forward with their heads down, as if they were hiding from something.
Lin Ranran stood in the same place without knowing why, looking around, and saw a group of people rushing towards him in front of him, shouting various slogans and holding various weapons.
Lin Ranran was stunned for a moment when he saw those people rushing towards him aggressively. What did she do? She hasn't started selling things yet, so she's exposed?
At this time, there was a roar behind her, and another group of people rushed over from behind her. The two gangs brandished their weapons and rushed towards each other, drowning Lin Ranran in one fell swoop.
"Ah!" Lin Ranran screamed and hugged her head, the sound of the blows of sticks passing by her ears, at the same time she was being pushed and shoved, and she was about to be stepped on the ground.
At this moment, a strong force grabbed Lin Ranran's arm, and she was dragged into an embrace with a refreshing smell, blocking the stick.
Lin Ranran's mind suddenly became a pot of porridge, and was dragged aside by the man.
The hug loosened at once, and the handsome young man with phoenix eyes was glaring at her, and there was an obvious mark on the shoulder of the white shirt.
It was Gu Peiyuan who saved her just now
Seeing Lin Ranran in a daze, Gu Peiyuan grabbed her by the shoulder and shouted loudly: "Are you stupid? Seeing those people rushing over and not hiding?!"
"It's none of my business, I was shocked by those people rushing over suddenly, okay!" Lin Ranran said aggrievedly.
"You're so stupid." Gu Peiyuan was upset.
"You're stupid! What are those people doing?" Lin Ranran complained. The two groups of people were young people, and the younger ones were only in their teens. Shouting various slogans. There was a riot of soldiers and horses on the Haohao street, and there was no inspection team to maintain order.
Gu Peiyuan swept across the crowd coldly, "A bunch of idiots."
It appears that the decade has really begun.
Lin Ranran had lingering fears, and couldn't help but glance at Gu Peiyuan curiously.
Almost all teenagers in this era are devoted to this fanatical movement, but Gu Peiyuan did not participate at all, instead showing a hint of disdain. He kept it in his pocket with one hand, and his white shirt was spotless, cold and alienated, clearly separated from the crazy crowd dancing wildly on the street, and completely separated from the outside.
Looking at the mark on Gu Peiyuan's shoulder, Lin Ranran realized that he blocked himself from a stick just now, and wondered if he was injured: "Your shoulder is it alright?"
"It's okay." Gu Peiyuan gestured to the big basket Lin Ranran was carrying, "Is everything not damaged?"
Lin Ranran hurriedly lowered her head to check the big basket she brought.
I didn't expect that Gu Peiyuan would be waiting to pick her up at the gate of the city. Fortunately, she put some things in a big basket instead of hiding them in the space for convenience, otherwise it would be difficult for her to explain to Gu Peiyuan.
also?, he coaxed for a long time before agreeing to go in.
When she was carried in by her aunt, she waved to Lin Ranran with tears in her eyes: "Sister, wait for me after school, I brought you a lot of delicious food, and I even brought you a gift."
"Okay, I see, you go to class obediently." Lin Ranran felt distressed.
Gu Peiyuan watched his younger brother go in, with a hint of distress in his eyes. Said to Lin Ranran: "Go home, grandma is waiting for you at home."
The two walked along the street towards home together, but there was no Gu Yuanyuan as a lubricant on the way home, and Gu Peiyuan didn't say a word, so the atmosphere became a little bit awkward.
Lin Ranran had no choice but to find a topic and ask, "Why does Yuanyuan go to the nursery here?"
Gu Peiyuan said: "He is not old enough to go to elementary school, so he is easily bullied."
"No, what I mean is why did he come back to Lin'an County to go to the nursery? The conditions are definitely not as good as yours. It's better to stay at home and take care of yourself in the nursery here."
Gu Peiyuan was silent.
Lin Ranran was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "I'm just asking casually, if it's not convenient to answer, it's okay."
Gu Peiyuan said lightly: "Actually, he already knows how to read, but there are no other children at home, so he is lonely. He might as well send him to the nursery, and he can meet some friends."
But Gu Yuanyuan obviously doesn't like this nursery school. Lin Ranran held back in her heart and did not speak.
The two walked side by side, Gu Peiyuan was carrying Lin Ranran's big basket, and Lin Ranran was beside him empty-handed. This style of painting looked like a young couple going back to their natal home together. If they were in Tianshui Village, they would attract a lot of attention. How much attention.
But now no one on the road has the heart to pay attention to them. The road is full of young people rushing around, shouting slogans, and fighting with each other.
Gu Peiyuan pushed Lin Ranran to the side of the road, stood beside her, and walked forward indifferently. Gu Peiyuan's calm and normal mood also reassured Lin Ranran. Looking carefully, other residents on the road were walking against the walls, and the group of fighting young people would not take the initiative to attack ordinary passers-by. A strange balance.
Lin Ranran glanced at Gu Peiyuan who was helping her carry the basket again, and couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in her heart. Since she came to this world, she has been protecting her younger siblings from wind and rain. But every time he meets Gu Peiyuan, he becomes the one being protected.
Not long after, they returned to Gu's house. Looking at this familiar small western-style building, Lin Ranran felt a sense of kindness in his heart.
As soon as she knocked on the door, the door was immediately pulled open. Grandma Gu, wearing a woolen shawl, kept saying, "Of course, it can be counted as coming. Just come in. Come in and let me have a look. Ran has grown taller again. It's even more beautiful. Why didn't you bring your two younger brothers and sisters?"
Lin Ranran replied one by one with a smile: "Yes, I have grown taller again. My younger brothers and sisters are in the countryside. I am afraid that they will be mischievous, and I can't bring them here alone."
Grandma Gu said regretfully: "Why didn't you bring it? What's wrong with it? I'm just looking forward to seeing two children come. Only when there are children in the house will it be lively!"
Grandma Gu said to Gu Peiyuan again: "I told you to come here today, don't take Gu Yuanyuan to school. Why did you still send it?"
Gu Peiyuan said: "He is too naughty, you can't watch him alone."
"What? Grandma, are you feeling unwell?" Lin Ranran asked with concern when she heard this.
"There's nothing wrong with it." Grandma Gu said, "I'm in good health, I just coughed a few times."
Gu Peiyuan didn't argue with her, but put the basket aside.
Lin Ranran hurriedly said: "Grandma, I brought you some presents."
Grandma Gu complained: "What are you bringing with you, kid? As I said, I'll be happy if you come empty-handed."
Lin Ranran smiled and said, "It's just some special products from the countryside, let you try something new."
Lin Ranran took out the gifts she brought one by one and filled the table.
Lin Ranran brought a lot of things today, all fresh and special products from the countryside. Thirty fresh eggs, a bag of new wheat flour, pumpkins grown in my own yard, fresh wild vegetables, pickled cucumber twists, and a jar of wild strawberry jam.
Forget about other snacks, Grandma Gu picked up the bundle of fresh purslane and said, "Oh, I haven't tasted it for many years. When I was young, I used to go to the fields with my brothers and sisters to pick this and eat it. I really want this taste." (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
