I Became the Favorite of Big Bosses

Chapter 434 What is the ending like for us in the story?

After a moment of silence, Gu Chao's voice sounded dull, "We in the story..."

 “What’s the ending like?”

"Uh..." Wei Lan's pupils shrank suddenly, her body froze suddenly, and the smile on her face faded, "Wha, what?"

 So...the ending of the story?

Gu Chao hugged Wei Lan tightly, as if she would disappear in the next second, "Did I protect you in the story...were we together in the end?"

Gu Chao's big hand trembled slightly, not sure if it was because of fear or something else.

His heart was tense. Combined with Wei Lan's out-of-control and abnormal reaction just now, he could always think of a lot.

Wei Lan didn't speak for a long time, and Gu Chao let out a low, mocking "hehe" from his throat, "No?"

Gu Chao's Adam's apple was twitching, and his voice was hesitant and dry: "What's the reason why we separated?"

 She said, let him find her.

 So it was forced?

Gu Chao was filled with sadness, which aroused Wei Lan's emotions.

Wei Lan shook her head, burying her face in his arms with red eyes, "It has changed..."

"In the story, we have no intersection from beginning to end." Wei Lan smiled and shed tears, grabbing the clothes on Gu Chao's chest without hiding it, "But now we are together."

"I will hold on to you, hold on to you firmly." As the words said, Gu Chao hugged Wei Lan even tighter, "No one can take you away from me."

No one can.

Lightning flashed outside the window, and the room was briefly bright. The two young people cuddled tightly together.

 Later, Gu Chao asked about what happened in the "story". Wei Lan briefly mentioned it without telling Gu Chao about the tragic experience of the original person. He only told Gu Chao that the woman in the "story" finally returned to the city.

Gu Chao tightened his arms and said in a deep and firm voice, "This time, let's go back together, okay?"

"good."

   *

 The spring rain has loud thunder, small raindrops, and a soft drizzle. The air is hazy with rain and mist. The dense bamboo forest has changed from emerald green to dark green, and is dense and dense, adding a bit of mystery.

After a brief period of tenderness, Gu Chao climbed up the wall with a short blade and got into the bamboo forest. In only a quarter of an hour, he dragged two bare bamboos to the backyard with their scattered branches and leaves cut off.

It isn't raining heavily outside, but the temperature has suddenly dropped a lot and it's a little cold again.

Wei Lan lit the stove under the eaves of the kitchen, and when the flames gradually became stable, she held her chin and sat on the threshold. On the other side of the threshold, Gu Chao sat upright, holding an ax in his hand, and chopped out thin strips smoothly. Silk, flakes.

 “Brother Chao is so awesome, he knows so many things!”

Gu Chao said lightly: "There is no technical content, most of the team can do it."

After splitting enough bamboo strips, Gu Chao first took out four bamboo strips and interlaced them in an X shape. Then he took out a longer bamboo strip and pressed or lifted the X-shaped bamboo strips up and down, passing through them and tightening them.

Gu Chao has good skills and patience. Whenever he knits when he encounters a large gap, he is always willing to stop and adjust it carefully. After one round of knitting, Wei Lan discovered that the bottom part that was just knitted was only five centimeters, and there was a circle of thin staggered holes in the middle. Fine pattern.

 It is not very beautiful, but it is the first time Wei Lan has seen such a pattern in common backpacks and baskets, and it is very unique.

The fish basket is not big, so it is easy to weave it. However, it still takes a lot of effort to make such a pattern.

 “No more patterns, just plain.”

 Gu Chao has been as busy as a little top these days and hasn't had much rest.

Wei Lan wanted him to rest more before spring plowing.

 Besides, if this thing is thrown into the river and soaked, no one will really notice what it looks like, so it doesn’t need to be so delicate.

Gu Chao glanced at Wei Lan with a smile and said, "Just make a circle and use it as a mark."

 “Okay then!” Wei Lan nodded, feeling that what Gu Chao said made sense.

  Small fish and shrimps are caught for use in the big kitchen. Wei Lan never thought about whether anyone would steal them, but if a lot of them were caught, someone would definitely follow suit.

 It’s good to have a mark so that no one picks it up by mistake later.

After making two fish baskets, Gu Chao wanted to make a third one. Wei Lan quickly stopped him, "That's enough, two are enough!"

 I don’t know if this thing works or not!

Wei Lan took a fish basket and looked it up and down. Her little hands imitated the small fish getting into the fish basket. The fish basket was made of small bamboo sticks woven into a tapered entrance. She tried to withdraw her hand in the opposite direction, but she didn't know that it was easy to get in but difficult to get out. I was pricked several times with bamboo sticks.

As soon as Wei Lan felt pain, she subconsciously pulled hard. This pull made the gasping sound even louder.

"Brother Chao..." Wei Lan's eyes were red with pain, and she looked at Gu Chao aggrievedly. She raised a "fist" like a big gourd with her slender wrist and handed it to him for help.

 Gu Chao:…

After being speechless for a while, Gu Chao was angry and funny. He pulled out the hemp rope that held the tapered seal, and the seal separated from the fish basket. Gu Chao opened the bamboo stick, and Wei Lan quickly withdrew his hand.

Just now, Wei Lan's white and tender hands were pricked with a dozen red spots on the back of her hands due to the hard pull, and some even had tiny bloodshot streaks coming out.

Gu Chao grabbed her little hand that was shaking around in pain and kissed the bloodshot place. He looked at her with deep eyes, "Does it hurt?"

 The stinging sensation was obvious when it was pricked, and now it feels a little warm, but I don’t feel much else.

“It doesn’t hurt.” Wei Lan shook her head, pursed her lips and smiled brightly, “If the fish gets in like this, it won’t be able to escape!”

 At this time, I am still thinking about those small fish and shrimps with three melons and two dates!

 Silly girl.

 Gu Chao sighed lowly, took the two fish baskets to the outside of his right leg and placed them away from Wei Lan. He pulled out the broken blade and divided the remaining bamboo strips on the ground into more slender bamboo strips.

Gu Chao's fingers flexibly plucked the bamboo strips to weave. Wei Lan lay on his shoulder and looked at her, "What else do you want to knit?"

Gu Chao explained: "Put two small boxes together and put the bait back in."

“Brother Chao is so considerate!” Wei Lan slapped him in the face, smiled and kissed him on the face.

Just as he was about to sit back on the threshold, Gu Chao stretched out his hand to hold Wei Lan, tilted his head and moved his right cheek closer, "There's more over here."

Come on, is this a big baby that needs to be kissed?

Wei Lan was startled for a moment, then raised his chin slightly on his right cheek and just took a bite.

 “Ahem—”

There was a coughing sound, and Wei Lan's scalp exploded. His whole face was on fire and he quickly took a step to the side. His shoulders were pressed tightly against the door frame, and he cocked his head, wishing to find a hole in the ground to crawl in.

On the other side, Gu Chao also felt uncomfortable for a moment. From the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Wei Lan's ostrich behavior. He couldn't help but curl up his lips, and he laughed twice with a hoarse voice.

“You’re still smiling!” Wei Lan blushed and turned to glare at him. She bared her teeth on her pretty little face, but she didn’t dare to raise a single sound.

Just when Gu Chao was about to speak, Grandma Gu poked her head into the kitchen and saw two people sitting at the back door. She turned around and walked over, "Where did I say they went?"

 “Grandma…” Wei Lan’s voice was soft and her eyes were shy and she avoided it.

Grandma Gu stopped in front of Wei Lan, squatted down with her thin and stooped body, and gently pushed away Wei Lan's broken hair on her forehead with her big, rough hands. Grandma Gu put her hand on Wei Lan's smooth forehead, her face full of care, "Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? Do you have a headache?"

 A rough, old voice, a wrinkled but kind face...

Like a fallen baby, if no one sees it, it will most likely get up by itself if it falls. But whenever there are people around, it will burst into tears. It is the same reason to cry so hard that you can't help yourself.

A kind of inexplicable grievance enveloped his heart. Wei Lan's mouth was deflated, and he cried, his eyes were red and his eyes were about to fall out, "It hurts!"

“Hey, let grandma take a look? What’s going on?” Grandma Gu frowned, placed both hands on the side of Wei Lan’s head, and used her index finger and thumb to accurately find two acupuncture points and massage them.

When Gu Chao heard Wei Lan complain about pain, he also stopped what he was doing, tied his hands and feet and looked nervously aside.

"It's not a headache." Wei Lan's cheeks turned redder, and he tilted his head back to avoid Grandma Gu's hand. Finally, he put his hand with more than ten red spots stuck on bamboo sticks in front of Grandma Gu, "Grandma, it's my hand that hurts! "

Grandma Gu was stunned. From the corner of her eye, she glanced at the green bamboo clothes and broken bamboo sticks all over the floor. Then she looked at the two fish baskets beside Gu Chao's legs. What else didn't she understand?

She thought Wei Lan was really sick, but now she knew it was an accident. Aunt Gu's face was bluffed, "You **** girl, you deserve it!"

　　With a gentle but gentle pat on the back of Wei Lan's hand, Grandma Gu stood up and left the kitchen.

 The back view is ruthless and not sloppy.

Wei Lan was dumbfounded and looked at Gu Chao blankly with her hands raised, as if she wanted to seek comfort.

The latter's eyes were deep and slightly raised, and he tried hard to suppress a smile: "Grandma is right, it's you who are naughty."

"How could I be naughty? You're still laughing at me!" Wei Lan was annoyed, her back pressed against the door frame, and her feet kicked randomly on Gu Chao's legs. You don't stand with me anymore, do you? I'm so annoying you! I'm so annoying you!

Gu Chao was kicked by her until his body was staggered, but he was not annoyed, and his low laughter never stopped.

There was a fuss for a while, which was just like punching cotton with fists. Wei Lan found it boring, so she squatted aside with her cheeks puffed up and ignored Gu Chao.

Gu Chao didn't panic. He got up and used a broken blade to cut a small piece of meat from the meat hanging on the beam. He also picked out the egg shells that Grandma Gu had left in the ashes in the stove that morning, mashed them up, and put them into a small box. Inside, the bamboo strips specially reserved for the seal were inserted into the gap, and the small box was tightly buckled.

Gu Chao threw the bait box into the bamboo basket, picked up the basket and extended his hand to Wei Lan, "Do you want to test the results?"

 Wei Lan raised her black and thin eyebrows, put her little hand on Gu Chao's palm and stood up, "Of course!"

 The bait is all packed, wouldn’t it be wasted if we don’t go?

 Besides, Wei Lan is also looking forward to it.

 …

The fields and countryside are hazy with rain and fog, and there is nothingness in the distance.

 There is a little green grass nearby. The man is tall, wearing a bamboo hat on his head, his wrists and sleeves are rolled up high. Two brand-new bamboo baskets with a light green color are hanging on his forearms.

Behind the man, a young and beautiful girl, slim and graceful, held up an old umbrella and stumbled after him.

The man’s steps were long, and he took two or three steps ahead of her. Seeing the distance gradually widening, Wei Lan became anxious and took two steps forward, "Brother Chao, wait... eh-"

The rain didn't seem to be heavy, but it continued for several hours, and the land had already absorbed enough water and became slippery.

Wei Lan was wearing thousand-layer cloth shoes made by Grandma Gu. The cloth soles were slippery, and when they slipped, her whole body was like a delicate flower that was shaken by raindrops, swaying from side to side, as if Gu was jumping towards her.

Gu Chao's back seemed to have eyes. He turned around and grabbed it with his big hand, grabbing Wei Lan's slender waist with precision.

We walked through that section of the wet mud road with Wei Lan on our side, and put him down only when we reached a place where weeds grew densely.

The moment it slipped, the umbrella in Wei Lan's hand flipped over. Gu Chao took it, tucked the umbrella back, and handed it back to her hand.

His big hand brushed away the crystal raindrops from Wei Lan's black hair, and Gu Chao warned: "Go slowly, don't be in a hurry."

“Yeah!” Wei Lan nodded vigorously, her lips were red, her eyebrows were crooked and she was smiling brightly, her black hair made her face look even more charming, like a guest or a fairy in a Jiangnan ink painting...

Gu Chao's heart was slightly trembling, his sword eyebrows stretched, he gently took Wei Lan's hand and led her to walk slowly in the rain.

 “Is it cold?”

In the deep creek downstream of Xiaogang, Wei Lan squatted on the bank holding an umbrella, watching Gu Chao staggering and sneaking around on big rocks in the deep ditch.

The big rocks were all sloping. Gu Chao had to keep his balance and had no choice but to bend forward. As a result, his whole back was soaked by the rain.

Gu Chao took a step forward, and she followed suit.

Gu Chao was afraid that she would fall accidentally, so he said in a deep voice: "Just stand there and don't move."

　　After that, he speeded up, took off his shoes, rolled up his trousers, picked up the fish head and stepped into the stream.

 On a rainy day, the sun is not as bright as usual, the temperature is lower, and the flowing water is cooler.

Wei Lan obeyed and stood still, but urged: "Just put it close to the stone, the water is cold..."

 The tail of the fish basket is a bit big, and the water around the stone is shallow, so it cannot be completely immersed in the bottom of the water.

Gu Chao responded and took two more steps into the deeper water. He pushed two fish baskets into the water and held them down with rocks before walking back and landing.

The stream is clear and you can see the bottom of the water clearly. Just remember the approximate direction.

Gu Chao climbed ashore and put on his shoes, folded his hands and took a breath of hot air, rubbing them until they were warm before taking Wei Lan's hand.

 He was wearing straw sandals. Although they were not slippery, they were not very warm.

Gu Chao, who was thick-skinned and thick-skinned, didn't think anything was wrong, but when he lowered his head and saw Wei Lan's muddy and soaked shoes, he couldn't help but frown.

With an impatient "tsk", Gu Chao led Wei Lan back and asked, "When will we pick up the fungi tomorrow?"

There was a low pressure on him for a moment. Before Wei Lan could figure it out, he was asked this question again. His attention was completely diverted and he answered truthfully: "At nine o'clock, I went to have breakfast..."

Wei Lan groaned and said, "If it rains, the time will be delayed a little."

Gu Chao's voice was light, Ruo Youruowu said "hmm" and said no more.

Wei Lan curiously shook his big hand that held hers, "What are the plans?"

"No." Gu Chao shook his head, "Wait until I come back tomorrow."

 “Where are you going tomorrow?”

“Go to the town...Give me your household registration book, and stop by the post office to see if there are any letters.”

Wei Lan rolled her eyes and nodded, "Okay."

　　　Grandma asked her to write a letter to the capital city, but she didn’t even have to rush to write it yet. When Gu Chao went to the town post office tomorrow, she just happened to take her with her.

After wandering back home, Wei Lan took off her muddy shoes, fearing that they would be caked with dirt and difficult to wash. She was just about to take them to the well to wash the mud off when Gu Chao came into the house carrying a steaming washbasin.
