Gu Rao gritted her teeth. There was no word for surrender in her dictionary!

"Okay." Pretending to be calm.jpg

Squatting down slightly, one foot tremblingly stepped on the first groove, while the other foot hesitated to step on the next groove, and there was nowhere to place both hands.

Bieye extended his hand to her.

"Hold me and walk."

Gu Rao put her black mud-covered hand into his broad palm, and her hand was tightly wrapped. Feeling the warmth from Bieye's palm, she felt a sense of security in her heart.

Bieye took one step and looked back once to confirm that Gu Rao had stepped firmly before proceeding to the next step.

Gu Rao was led by her like this and walked down safely. Looking back at the steep stone wall, she felt a sense of emotion and pride in her heart.

She just said it.

If others can do it, she can do it too.

When the couple returned home, it was already dark. Before they even stepped through the door, they heard two men talking and laughing from the main room.

"Brother Gu, my aunt's cooking skills are better than those of my cook. After eating this time, I'm afraid I will always think about it at home in the future."

"When my dear brother wants to eat, you can come to my house to eat at any time."

"Then I won't be polite."

"What's our relationship? You're welcome! Come on, let's have another drink. We won't go home until we're drunk tonight! Mom, the food is almost finished, let's go cook two more dishes to go with the wine!"

Liu Guihua responded happily.

"Okay, let's go now."

"Mr. Ma is delicious, don't be polite to us!"

Turning around, he saw Bieye and Gu Rao coming back together. A flash of vigilance flashed in his eyes. He was afraid that the food cooked later would be eaten by these two people, so he rarely directed Gu Rao to work.

"You are tired from going to the field. Go back to your room and rest early."

Bieye's face was very cold.

"We haven't had dinner yet."

Liu Guihua frowned.

"You won't die of hunger if you don't eat. There are distinguished guests at home today. You should go back to the house early and don't wander around. This will save you embarrassment and cause trouble to your brother!"

Bieye pursed her lips and said nothing.

Gu Rao was actually hungry for a long time, but Bieye didn't insist, and she had nothing to say, so she was ready to get some food from the space to fill her stomach in the middle of the night.

This is how she came here during this period.

Otherwise, given the conditions of other restaurants, I'm afraid there won't be a few mouthfuls of oily smell all year round.

"I'm going to wash up."

Bi Xiaoqiao said sensibly, "Sister-in-law, I have boiled hot water for you. Do you want to take a bath tonight?" She knew that Sister-in-law loves to be clean and usually takes a shower when she sweats.

Gu Rao shook his head.

"dont wash."

There was a strange man at home, the earthen house was not soundproof, and there was only a door between the bathroom and the main room. She was really not used to it, and she felt uncomfortable thinking about the sticky look in his eyes today.

"Thank you for boiling water for me. I will bring the water into the bedroom to wipe it with you later."

Don't Xiao Qiao grinned.

"These are what I should do."

"I'll get you some water!"

Before Gu Rao had time to stop him, he ran into the kitchen. He smiled helplessly, took a ladle of water from the water tank outside the yard, washed his hands, and then entered the house.

After a while, Bi Xiaoqiao came in with hot water.

Just as he was about to go out, a grunt sounded.

Gu Rao's eyes fell on Bie Xiaoqiao's belly, and he frowned slightly and said, "Aren't you always at home? Why haven't you had dinner?"

Don't Xiao Qiao shyly cover her belly with her hands.

"The fourth brother is raising a man, and I am a girl who has not yet left the court. I am embarrassed to eat at the same table as them. It is said that I have a bad reputation."

In Gu Rao's eyes, Bi Xiaoqiao is still a child.

"You are only fourteen years old."

Don't forget Xiao Qiao's cheeks are slightly red.

"At my age, some people are already engaged. When foreign men come, you should avoid suspicion. Third sister-in-law, you are only two years older than me. Aren't you already married to third brother?"

Gu Rao, "..."

Suddenly it was impossible to refute.

He coughed lightly and said, "Wait for me first." He turned around and pretended to get something from the bedside, but in fact, he used the cover of his back to take out the white-flour buns that he had not finished eating this morning from the space.

"Take it and eat it."

Xiao Qiao was stunned for a moment, then waved her hands quickly.

"don't want."

Gu Rao said bluntly, "I can't get used to eating such hard steamed buns." This was true, otherwise she would have finished eating it in the morning and wouldn't have kept it until now.

Xiao Qiao then took it over.

"Thank you, Sister-in-law."

-

When Gu Rao was scrubbing, there was a knock on the door. He had to wipe the remaining areas that were not scrubbed and changed into maroon linen clothes.

Opening the door, she frowned slightly when she saw the person coming.

"What's up?"

It's not polite to knock on a woman's door late at night.

Ma Xiuqing felt itchy in her heart and said with a gentle face, "Sister-in-law, Brother Gu was so drunk that he vomited all over his body. Can I borrow your husband's clothes?"

Gu Rao's tone was cold and hard.

"My husband only has one change of clothes. He was hoeing today and the clothes on his body are already too dirty to wear. The remaining set will need to be changed later."

"No borrowing."

After saying that, he closed the door.

Ma Xiuqing was frustrated and stood at the door for a while with a gloomy expression. She turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Liu Guihua in time.

"How can you go back alone at such a late night?"

"Stay and rest for the night."

"My husband is about the same size as you. If you don't mind that it's a dead man's clothes, you can wear his clothes."

Ma Xiuqing thought for a moment.

"do not mind."

"It's just...my lower body is covered with vomit. I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep all night if I don't take a shower."

Liu Guihua immediately said, "When the third child got married, I bought a bathtub specially. You go to Chengcai's house and wait while I ask Xiao Qiao to boil hot water for you!"

-

Bieye roasted three sweet potatoes, gave one to his sister, took the remaining two back to the house, and handed the larger one to his wife, "Let's eat sweet potatoes to fill our stomachs tonight, and I'll take you to the town to eat well tomorrow."

food."

Gu Rao's eyes lit up.

"good."

She immediately began to look forward to tomorrow. She had been in this world for more than half a month and had yet to see what an ancient market looked like.

-

The next day, before dawn in Bieye, I went to Big Bear Mountain and waited for a while under a large locust tree not far from Taohua Village before Gu Rao's figure slowly came over.

He was stunned for a moment when he saw the prey in his hand.

"You go hunting in the mountains early in the morning?"

Bieye shook his head.

"I was in a hurry when I came back last time and didn't bring back the prey I threw on the mountain. When I went to see it today, some were already dead, but these are still alive."

Gu Rao felt a little guilty.
