Don't panic in a famine, I live in the mountains with my golden finger

When Gu Qinghan came into the kitchen, he was hit on the head by the dried fish hanging at the door.

I almost knocked the dried fish hanging on the rope to the ground.

The noise did not disturb Xu Yuan, who was stirring the dishes with a spatula with his back to the door. Xu Zhi did notice it, but he just glanced at it and immediately shifted his gaze to add firewood to the pot.

Gu Qinghan felt a little embarrassed, but he was relieved to see that no one noticed him.

It was so embarrassing. I almost lost other people’s food.

Then he looked around the kitchen. It was very large, with a bamboo table next to it and a compartment covered by a curtain at the back.

Firewood was neatly piled up in one place, the hole in the water tank was connected to the outlet with a bamboo tube and plugged with rags. There was also a small pool, and the kitchen had all the cooking utensils, although they were worn out at times, but they were kept clean.

Gu Qinghan also saw a pot of beans with a little sprout on the shelf.

Xu Yuan brought the dish to the table and found that Gu Qinghan was standing on the shelf over there looking at the sprouts.

"What is this? Is it edible?" Gu Qinghan asked the visitor.

"These are soybean sprouts. Soak the beans in water and change the water frequently every day, and they will grow."

"Wait, when they sprout in a few days, I'll give some to your family to try."

"No, you should keep this amount for yourself." After knowing what it was, Gu Qinghan refused Xuyuan's kindness.

The sky outside was dark, as if the bottom had leaked out, and water was pouring out of the ground like crazy.

Xu Yuan looked at the weather and felt that the rain would not stop tonight, so for Gu Qinghan's safety, "You should stay here tonight and leave after the rain stops tomorrow. It's not safe to go back in such heavy rain."

Gu Qinghan didn't force himself. After all, it would not be worth it to go back in the rain and get sick again.

"Bring your wet clothes in here to dry." Xu Yuan made a temporary clothes rack and placed it next to the fire.

"Dinner will be served soon, hurry up and get it ready." Xu Yuan called out to Gu Qinghan, who was walking out with his head down, hiding behind the dried fish drying at the door.

"Row."

Xu Yuan looked at the dried fish hanging a little low. There was nothing he could do as he was too tall. He decided to ask Gu Qinghan to help him later. Otherwise, he would have to lower his head and bend over every time he entered the door, which was so embarrassing.

……

"Mom, why hasn't my brother come back yet? It's raining so heavily!" Gu Qingming was sitting at the gate of his house, looking at the courtyard gate. His little hands catching the raindrops falling from the eaves, watching the crackling rain falling in the yard.

"Qingming, come in. Don't sit at the door. You'll catch a cold." Xu Qing stood up and pulled Gu Qingming, who was sitting by the door, into the house.

"Your eldest brother should be at your wishing sister's house now. I estimate that it will rain heavily when we arrive, so don't worry. We will be back tomorrow morning after the rain stops."

"Don't wait, let's eat, your father has prepared dinner."

"Tonight we have the fish your eldest brother just caught, and your father cooked it himself."

"Well, the fish cooked by mom is still the best. I don't want dad to cook it next time." Gu Qingming said coquettishly.

"You little brat, if you have the guts why don't you just stop eating? You have food to eat but you're still complaining here." Village chief Gu had just brought the prepared food to the table and was wiping the table with a rag. When he heard this, he was so angry that he almost threw the rag into the cooked fish.

"That's enough, Old Gu. You are old and still arguing with a child. Let's eat. Qinghan will not treat him badly."

Xu Yuan would certainly not treat Gu Qinghan unfairly. After all, he was his savior and had helped him so much recently.

Watching Gu Qinghan pick up the bowl of water beside him and drink it down in one gulp, his mouth turned red from the spicy smell.

"Cough cough cough" Gu Qinghan drank the water too quickly and choked, and his eyes turned red.

"Ha ha ha ha"

Song Guozi and many others couldn't help but laugh when they saw Gu Qinghan, whose condition was even worse than theirs when they first ate chili peppers.

"Drink slowly, no one will compete with you."

Gu Qinghan had recovered by now, but his mouth was still spicy. However, after getting used to the spiciness, he felt that the fish was very delicious.

"Xuyuan, your chili is really good. Can I buy some from you to try?"

"No need. They are wild anyway. You can just take some home. The seeds inside are seeds. You can try to grow them yourself."

Gu Qinghan nodded and picked up the chopsticks to pick up the fish again.

In the cozy kitchen, the burning firewood cast a little light, which contrasted with the howling wind and biting rain outside.

After dinner, everyone cleaned up and went to rest.

There were no bedding in Guozi's room, so Xuyuan could only take out the quilt he had prepared from his own room and use it to cover Gu Qinghan.

He went back to his room. Gu Qinghan was still rummaging through his clothes in the kitchen. As soon as he came out of the kitchen, he saw Xu Yuan coming out of Guozi's room and returning to his room.

There was no conversation that night, only the sound of raindrops falling on the roof.

bang bang bang

There was a sudden knock on the door of the room, and Gu Qinghan was suddenly awakened from his half-asleep sleep. He had a severe headache and his eyelids were still struggling to keep open.

"Gu Qinghan, why haven't you gotten up yet?"

There seemed to be the sound of making a wish outside. Gu Qinghan was half asleep and wanted to answer, but his throat was swollen and painful and he couldn't shout.

"Cough cough cough" I felt weak all over, and I couldn't feel the warmth under the quilt. Then I slowly closed my eyes. The window next to me was still blowing cold air in, and it was still drizzling outside.

"I'm coming in." Xu Yuan approached the door and heard a cough coming from inside.

He slowly pushed the door open, the window was wide open, and Xuyuan closed it.

The man on the bed had one hand under his head and the other on his chest. The quilt barely covered his stomach, and his big feet were exposed.

He has a high nose bridge, stern eyebrows, messy hair spread on the side of the bed, and a red face.

"Gu Qinghan, Gu Qinghan." Xu Yuan walked forward and called softly. Seeing that the man on the bed had no response, he walked forward softly, stretched out his hand and patted his arms.

"Hiss, why is it so hot?" Xu Yuan touched the man's hot arm and then touched his forehead.

"Oh my god, he must have passed out from the fever."

Xu Yuan quickly patted Gu Qinghan's face, and Gu Qinghan frowned.

"Hey, wake up, Gu Qinghan." Xu Yuan exchanged the thermometer from Xiao Jiu and wanted to put it into Gu Qinghan's mouth.

A pair of big hands suddenly grabbed Xuyuan's wrist and pulled it hard.

"Ah, hiss."

The hot breath mixed with the unique fragrance of the man enveloped Xu Yuan, "It's so noisy." The man's hoarse voice sounded in her ears. He hugged Xu Yuan tightly with both hands and buried his head in Xu Yuan's collarbone.

Xuyuan's ears suddenly turned red.

What? Are you taking advantage of me?
