Summary: The Elves' Daily Love

The vehicle was driving slowly and shakily on the mountain road.

Yun Ci sat in the car and finally couldn't help herself.

"Stop." Yun Ci said, "I can walk the rest of the way by myself."

The driver stepped on the brakes and when he turned around to say something, Yun Ci had already got out of the car.

"But Master Huaer has given the order..."

When the driver got out of the car, Yun Ci was gone.

He could only go back into the car and pick up his phone to contact Xie Yuchen who was unable to come along due to something else.

Grandpa Yun lives deep in the mountains. The nearest village to his home is a day's walk away - this is calculated based on the speed of those with internal strength. It would take longer for ordinary people.

Yun Ci used her inner strength to move forward the entire time, with no trace of rise and fall, and only the slightly swaying branches and leaves indicated her passing.

Go around the mountain village and follow the scattered wild chestnut trees all the way to the stream, then follow the stream inward and stop when you see the waterfall.

There is a densely planted bamboo forest next to the waterfall. Walking along the cobblestone path into the bamboo forest, you can see two two-story bamboo buildings that are already quite old.

"Chirp!"

"I'm back." An old man with a cane walked out of the bamboo building slowly. He looked at Yun Ci, who looked a little embarrassed because of the hurry, and waved his hand, "Go and clean up. The meal will be ready soon."

Yun Ci glanced at Grandpa Yun and said angrily, "Old man, if you miss me, just tell me. Why are you trying to scare me with your own life?"

"You have no respect for your elders." Grandpa Yun swung his walking stick and hit Yun Ci.

Yun Ci dodged nimbly and threw her bag onto the platform of the bamboo building.

"Grandpa, stop working. I'll let you taste my cooking skills later."

She strolled toward the waterfall, quickly rinsed herself, caught a couple of fish while bathing, caught a pheasant, and dug up some wild spices.

Yun Ci was preparing vegetables in the open-air kitchen. Grandpa Yun was sitting beside her, drinking the tea that Yun Ci brought back, and watching Yun Ci busy herself leisurely.

"What kind of mess are you bringing? Can it be delicious?"

Grandpa Yun looked at Yun Ci with disdain as he poured out piles of pickles and sauces from the bags.

"These are all fresh!" Yun Ci said without even turning her head. "The aunt in the Xie family's kitchen made them. Xie Yuchen and I packaged them together. They are not sold outside. Don't worry, please."

Yunci stewed the chicken, boiled the fish soup, and then began to knead the dough.

There were several small vegetable plots scattered in the bamboo forest, with some small green vegetables planted in them. Yun Ci picked some and put them in the fish soup noodles.

The spicy and delicious hot pot chicken is filled with a lot of wide vermicelli that has absorbed the soup. The taste is so overbearing that it directly covers the aroma of the fish soup noodles.

Grandpa Yun sat at the dining table, looked at the big bowl of noodles in front of him, and picked up the chopsticks silently.

Yun Ci fell on his trembling hand, pursed her lips and lowered her eyes.

She exhaled lightly, and when she looked up again, she smiled ostentatiously: "Grandpa, try it!"

Grandpa Yun responded and tasted a mouthful of noodles.

"not bad."

Yunci's hands are very strong, and the noodles she kneads are very chewy.

——It seems there is no need to worry.

Grandpa Yun kept eating, one bite after another.

The two of them actually finished the large portion of food like this.

Yun Ci was worried about Grandpa Yun's health, so she poured out a piece of candy to help digestion and handed it to him: "Here, after-meal candy."

Grandpa Yun was very disgusted and kept muttering to himself, but he still reached out to take the candy and put it into his mouth.

Yun Ci also ate one, and the sour and sweet taste instantly filled her mouth.

This digestive candy tablet was a recipe that Xie Yuchen had someone prescribe for him - because Yun Ci had overeaten many times before, and ended up feeling so uncomfortable that she kept doing boxing and walking around in the yard.

After dinner, Yun Ci went to clean up, and Grandpa Yun sat in the rocking chair to take a rest. After Yun Ci finished cleaning up, he called on her to see if her strength had declined.

Yun Ci responded and immediately demonstrated in front of Grandpa Yun. Not only did he punch, but he also flew over eaves and walls and walked on bamboo.

After a series of moves, Yun Ci turned around and saw Grandpa Yun with his eyes closed.

Yun Ci paused and walked gently to Grandpa Yun: "Grandpa?"

She was answered with a deafening snore.

Yun Ci: “…”

Tsk.

Yun Ci let out a long sigh, straightened her hair which was wet with sweat again, turned around, picked up her clothes and walked towards the waterfall.

Washed clothes are hung on the main pole, swaying in the wind.

Yun Ci also pulled a stool and sat next to Grandpa Yun.

Listening to the rustling sounds in the bamboo forest after a long time, Yun Ci felt a little dazed and soon fell asleep.

When she woke up again, the sky had turned red. She was covered with a small blanket and there was some mosquito repellent incense burning next to her.

Rice porridge was cooking in the pot on the stove, and Grandpa Yun was sitting beside it peeling bamboo shoots.

People living in bamboo forests have no shortage of bamboo shoots to eat.

Yun Ci stretched and went over to help peel the vegetables together. They had a delicious meal of fried bamboo shoots and bacon in the evening.

Life in the mountains is very dull. There is not much to do and the only thing you need to worry about every day is probably food.

Yun Ci gets up early every day and does morning exercises with Grandpa Yun.

I strolled around and took care of the vegetable garden, then cleaned up and had breakfast.

Continue exercising in the morning while it’s still warm, and rest when it gets hot.

Play with birds, chat, etc.

In the afternoon, I will go for a walk in the woods, catch some pheasants and rabbits, dig some wild vegetables, and pick some wild fruits.

The long-awaited leisurely days lasted for eight days.

Grandpa Yun would sleep quietly every day, which scared Yun Ci, and then he would use his snoring to tell her that he was sleeping soundly.

only……

Yun Ci didn't expect that she was almost used to Grandpa Yun being like this -

Early morning of the ninth day.

Grandpa Yun couldn't get up.

He seemed to have anticipated this and cleaned himself up and changed into his shroud.

Yun Ci stood quietly beside the bed, and heard Tuanzi's sad cry.

She tilted her head and saw that Tuanzi's mother, the bird that had accompanied Grandpa Yun for many years, was lying quietly on the ground.

Yunci had long been accustomed to separation and death.

She's used to it.

got used to……

Yun Ci picked up the letter spread out on the table with an expressionless face. There were only a few short sentences on it.

——Grandpa is relieved to see that you can take good care of yourself.

——Keep the house at home. If you feel unhappy living outside, come back. This house belongs to you.

——Go ahead.

A drop of water blurred the last word, and water was dripping outside the window.

It started to rain.

Grandpa Yun arranged everything. He even built his own coffin, chose his own cemetery, and even dug the pit.

Because of the unexpected rain, the soil around the edge of the cemetery collapsed a little.

Yun Ci threw out a talisman, and the rain in the area soon stopped.

She took a shovel and carefully cleaned the cemetery before moving the coffin containing Grandpa Yun into the cemetery.

The wooden coffin lay quietly on the ground.

Yun Ci stood on the ground and watched quietly, in silence for a long, long time.

"Master Huaer, it's not raining here!"
