Ten minutes later, Tian Jing, who was pretending to be asthmatic, and Ding Aihua, who was really asthmatic, walked to the big tree.
Under the big tree, the figure stood upright. Just standing like this, there was no sign of anything wrong with its legs and feet.
With wheat-colored skin, a Chinese-shaped face, the facial bones are more prominent because of his thinness, a cold temperament, a height of 1.8 meters, and an average appearance. Tian Jing ignored the weathered and mature look, and in her heart
I got a score of 65, so I can barely be her roommate.
Li Zhengguo was also looking at Tian Jing, and he was relieved to see that she was fine and not exhausted.
As soon as Ding Aihua saw Li Zhengguo, he said anxiously, "The person has been delivered. I will go back now and pick up Li Min in ten days."
Li Zhengguo looked away and said, "Okay, thank you, Madam Tian."
"You're welcome." Ding Aihua returned anxiously, told Tian Jing, "Live a good life," and left in a hurry, as if something was chasing behind him.
Tian Jing placed the new bundle next to the tree trunk and sat down on the bundle. Feeling the hardness under her buttocks, she sneered in her heart. At least it was old cotton, so it would be good without the reeds.
He reached into the old baggage and took out a small package made of white coarse cloth. He opened it and found two steamed buns and two boiled eggs inside.
She picked up an egg and knocked it on the tree trunk behind her, and the shell was peeled off in a few strokes. She was too hungry and needed to replenish her strength.
Li Zhengguo took out a bamboo tube from his arms and handed it to Tian Jing, who was choking from eating. "Drink some water and eat slowly. It's still early."
Tian Jing raised her head and looked up at the man with a calm expression, "Have you ever used it?"
"No, it's new. I made it specially for you."
Tian Jing automatically ignored the last sentence, took the bamboo tube, pulled out the stopper on the bamboo joint, and drank a few sips before swallowing the egg yolk that was clogged in her esophagus. She almost choked to death, but she still
I like to eat egg custard.
The water in the bamboo tube was still warm. Unexpectedly, Li Zhengguo was quite attentive. As for the other two members of the Li family, we still need to know more about them.
Mother Li was weak-tempered, and she even lost her temper after being teased by the original owner. She wanted to repay the favor for the original owner, and she also had to find a way to take good care of Mother Li's body.
As for Li Min, it's hard to say. I learned from Tian Ping that it was Tian Li, the prime minister, who fell in love with Li Min, and that's why the marriage change came about. Considering Li Zhengguo's health and family situation, Li Min must have initiated the marriage change.
of.
Otherwise, given the nature of the Tian family, even if they exchanged her for marriage, they would do so in a nearby village. How could it be possible to exchange the original owner to a mountain more than thirty miles away from the Tian family? It would be inconvenient to continue to exploit the original owner in the future.
After retracting his thoughts, Tian Jing returned the bamboo tube to Li Zhengguo. Tian Jing pointed to the steamed buns on the white drawer cloth and said, "You can eat those two steamed buns."
She had eaten enough cornmeal and was hungry for meat. She had been here for several days and only ate roast rabbit once. I wonder if the Li family has meat to eat. There should be a lot of meat in the mountains, right?
Li Zhengguo's lame leg shouldn't allow him to go hunting in the mountains, right?
Huh? That's not right. In my memory, when Li Zhengguo helped the original owner pour gasoline on the courtyard where his biological father had coaxed him to go, he was so strong and strong that he climbed over the wall. Could it be that he was lame?
The original owner never paid attention to his legs when he was usually chasing after him. Was he lame now and then cured? Or is he no longer lame?
Lame or not?
Oops, I'm overthinking this. This has nothing to do with her. She's just a passerby.
When Tian Jing stared at his legs and looked like he was thinking, Li Zhengguo felt a little flustered. Wouldn't she notice it? Would she forgive him for his deception?
Tian Jing picked up another egg, reached out and grabbed the drawer cloth a few times, wrapped it up, raised it and handed it to Li Zhengguo, "You eat it."
"Thank you." Li Zhengguo took it and thanked him.
"You're welcome," Tian Jing waved her hand and said nonchalantly. She had a bad impression of Li Min, so she wouldn't take this cornbread to Li's house. "You must finish it."
"Okay." Li Zhengguo's voice softened, losing the stiffness at the beginning.
After the two of them finished eating and rested for a while, Li Zhengguo put her two bags on his shoulders and continued on their way.
The starting point was a long slope with an angle of nearly 50 degrees. This slope was about two miles long. Only halfway up the climb, Tian Jing became a little unable to climb. It was because her body had not recovered well, and it was not because she was full and didn't want to move.
A big rough hand stretched out in front of her, "I'll hold you."
Tian Jing looked up at the top of the slope in front of her. It would be great if she could use her powers. With a few vines pulling and tugging, she could climb up any high slope or mountain.
Then he looked at the big hand in front of him that was still insisting. He raised his hand and put his own hand on it. It might as well be borrowed.
The big hand trembled slightly, and then he held the calloused little hand.
A big, dry and warm hand pulled her hard in front of her. She actually had the idea of letting this hand drag her away if she didn't want to move.
After turning another 180-degree corner and climbing for more than two miles to the top of the slope, Tian Jing finally completed the five-mile slope turn and wanted to find a place to rest.
Li Zhengguo dragged her and continued walking, "There is a pavilion ahead. Let's take a rest there."
Well, Tian Jing really didn't want to take the initiative to leave, so she let him drag her and move passively.
In front of her where she couldn't see, Li Zhengguo raised the corners of his mouth, and his originally tough face became softer because of this smile.
The pavilion is a mile away, with a thatched roof, four big tree trunks, and four benches sandwiched between the tree trunks, which is a place to rest.
Tian Jing was lying on a large wooden bench. It was the time when the sun was shining directly. It should be between one and two o'clock in the afternoon. The late autumn sunshine was very warm and made people drowsy.
"Quiet, don't sleep, you'll catch a cold." Li Zhengguo pushed the person on the wooden bench.
Quietly? I want to be quiet!
Tian Jing opened her big confused eyes, "Don't call me Jingjing."
"Then what did you call me?"
"Hmm..." Tian Jing thought seriously for a moment, "Call Tian Tian."
"Okay," Li Zhengguo called out obediently, "Tiantian."
Tian Jing felt that something didn't sound right, but her brain was so groggy that she couldn't think about it.
"Get up," Li Zhengguo pushed her again, "Tiantian, get up, I'll carry you, and you sleep on my back."
Someone is carrying it? It seems good. Tian Jing is not a hypocritical person. It is better to sleep on a meat mat than a wooden board. "Okay."
Li Zhengguo lowered his head to pack his baggage, and the corners of his mouth raised even higher.
The two bundles were tied together, hung around his neck, and hung down to his chest. He turned his back to Tian Jing and said, "Come up."
Seeing the broad back in front of her, Tian Jing told herself to borrow it for a while, she was too tired.
Lying on her back, her butt was pushed up by big hands, and then her thighs were hugged by big hands. These two movements were too fast. Before Tian Jing had time to feel disgusted, she was already lying firmly on the broad back.
.
"Hold my neck." The words were natural, as if the two people were strangers who had just known each other for less than two hours.
Tian Jing obediently put her pole-like arms around the man's neck.
