Proud Gu Mingyu

At first, Ji Linyuan wanted to hide in Gu Mingyu's room, but now that the school is on holiday, he doesn't have to think about going back to Chongqing, for fear that Mingyu's father will drive him home again.Gu Mingyu didn't let him hide, and dragged him downstairs when it was time to eat.

Gu Huaili's eyes were wide open, and he opened his mouth to say something a few times but was blocked by Gu Mingyu's calm face.What made him even more furious was that after a few days, when he went out to buy some groceries, Gu Mingyu disappeared!

"Mingyu, is this not good?" Ji Linyuan sat in the back of the bus, the old seat creaking with the shaking of the car.

Gu Mingyu leaned her head on his shoulder, "Anyway, I left a note, so it doesn't count as running away from home."

In the front row is an old lady with a child. The little guy looks like three or four years old, very mischievous, kneeling on the seat, reaching out to grab the rope on Gu Mingyu's sweater hoodie.

Gu Mingyu teased him, and every time he was about to catch him, she would raise her hand and push down his chubby hand, the little guy was not annoyed, and continued to suck his snot.Ji Linyuan couldn't help laughing when he saw it—probably because Xi Shi is in the eye of the beholder, how cute it is no matter how you look at it.

After passing the provincial road, the shuttle bus turned into the village-level road. The car bumped a lot, and the child was carried back to sit by the grandma. Ji Linyuan was afraid that Gu Mingyu would not have a good impression of their village, so he explained: "Recently, the scenic spot is being built, and the construction vehicle crashes. It’s broken, and the road will be repaired after a while.”

Gu Mingyu didn't care. The scenery outside the car window was really different from other places. The mountains in the distance were like ink, and the flowers were blooming nearby. There seemed to be the roar of water. "Is there a dam near here?"

"Yes, there is a reservoir. My grandfather often went fishing in the reservoir, and then brought it to Uncle Wang next door to sell in the city. The water quality in the reservoir is good, and the fish is fresh and tender. I heard that the fish produced in the reservoir are very popular."

Gu Mingyu smiled, "Yeah, my dad loves fish from the reservoir the most. These days, he cooks fish soup for me every day at home."

Ji Linyuan's eyebrows were gentle, and the corners of his mouth slowly raised, "When we get to my house, I'll ask grandpa to cook fish soup for you."

Gu Mingyu didn't make a sound, feeling a little uncertain. He said he didn't want to stay at home, so Ji Linyuan proposed to go back to Qianshan Village, saying that it was a good place to recuperate due to its beautiful mountains and clear waters.Everything else is fine, except that Gu Mingyu is still a little timid about meeting Grandpa Ji. Although Ji Linyuan said it's okay, he has to consider the old man's thoughts after all—Ji Linyuan seems to be too optimistic about his grandfather.

After getting out of the car, Ji Linyuan asked Gu Mingyu to wait under the shade of a tree, and ran to a nearby canteen, not knowing what to do.After a while, I saw him pushing a scooter over.

"The town is a little far from the village, because the scenic spot is still under construction, so you can only take the old road. The car can't drive up, and the mountain road is not easy to walk. I borrowed a car to take you." Ji Linyuan sat on the motorcycle, He signaled Gu Mingyu to sit up, while lowering his head and turning over and over to look at the motorcycle under him.

Looking at his appearance, Gu Mingyu knew that Ji Linyuan was either a novice, or he had never ridden a motorcycle of this model.

Gu Mingyu stood still, twitched the corners of his mouth, and asked, "What are you looking for?"

"The place where it is in gear." Ji Linyuan was so busy that he still did not forget to answer, and he was amazed, "It's strange, why is it in gear?"

Gu Mingyu rolled his eyes, waved his hands like chasing flies, "Sit in the back, I'll come."

Ji Linyuan looked surprised. He obviously didn't expect Gu Mingyu to be so confident, but he still did as he did. He shrank into the back seat and watched Gu Mingyu get into the car, step on the brake, press the ignition button, then release the brake and refuel, and the car jumped out. .

"Idiot, there is no block for this car!" Gu Mingyu rode the car very fast, the strong wind blew on them, and the corners of his mouth were rotten and beautiful.

Ji Linyuan's grandfather is tall and thin, like a bamboo pole. At first glance, he looks nothing like Ji Linyuan. He is wearing a black jacket, his trousers are rolled up to his knees, and his feet are covered in mud. When he saw Ji Linyuan and Gu Mingyu, he was shocked. Just put down the water tank in my hand.

"Grandpa!" Ji Lin Yuanpan waved at the old man in the yard on Gu Mingyu's shoulder.

Grandpa Ji nodded and said, "Brother brought friends to play?"

Then he turned to Gu Mingyu again, "I just caught a Qing fish today, it seems that your blood is not very good, how about the stew?"

"Okay, the stew is good." Ji Linyuan rushed to answer, "Grandpa, I mentioned this. Gu Mingyu, you know his father, Gu Huaili."

Grandpa Ji showed a surprised expression, "So you are Mingyu? Every time my brother calls you, he always mentions you. Last time he said you were injured. How is it? Are you well?"

"Well, it's been more than half a month since I was discharged from the hospital, and I'm tired of staying at home, so I'm going out for a walk." Gu Mingyu parked the car, and almost burst out laughing when he heard Grandpa Ji say "brother". The scene of shouting "good brother and brother is dying".

Gu Mingyu had a ghost in his heart, so his eyes turned around in the yard, not daring to look at Ji Linyuan's grandfather.

Grandpa Ji asked again. "How is your father recently?"

"Well—it's okay." Gu Mingyu felt a little guilty when he thought that his father should be at home so angry that he would slap the table.

Grandpa Ji only thought he was shy, and said to Ji Linyuan with a smile, "Take a friend to rest in the house, and later go to the mountain with Grandpa to dig bamboo shoots, and take a look at the cage by the way."

"okay."

Grandpa Ji didn't talk much, he simply greeted him and went to work in the kitchen, while Ji Linyuan took Gu Mingyu to visit his room.

The condition of Ji’s house is really not good. The low wall in the yard is dilapidated, and there are traces of repairs everywhere. The house is of brick and wood structure, and the outer wall is not painted. The second floor floor is made of wood, which creaks when walking up .

Ji Linyuan's room is on the second floor. Apart from the bed, there is only a desk in the room. The wardrobe is built into the wall. The blue paint is mottled and peeling off, giving it a sense of age.

"What cage?" Gu Mingyu looked around and thought it was nothing to look at, so he asked Ji Linyuan while sitting on the edge of the bed.

"what?"

"Your grandfather said to go to the mountain to dig bamboo shoots, and take a look at the cage by the way."

"Oh, that one, used to hold rabbits and mountain mice."

"Isn't that just game?" Wild rabbits that are fatter and stronger can be bought in the market for two hundred.Mountain rats, also known as bamboo rats, specialize in burrowing into the soil to eat bamboo roots. They have nothing to do with the four pests and are rich in nutritional value. Most of them are artificially bred on the market now, and wild ones can also be sold at high prices.

"Yes."

Gu Mingyu thought that Grandpa Ji was so old, and he was fishing and catching wild animals on the mountain. Seeing that there were many vegetables planted in the yard, life was not very easy.

Out of curiosity for new things, Gu Mingyu also asked to go with the grandparents of the Ji family when they went up the mountain with a hoe.Grandpa Ji didn't object, he just took the hoe from Ji Linyuan and told him to walk behind Gu Mingyu and take care of him carefully.

The mountain roads are difficult to walk. Grandpa Ji is used to walking, and it is nothing to him, but he always stops at places that are not easy to walk, and uses a hoe to repair the places where his feet are stepped on.

At first, Gu Mingyu felt that Ji Linyuan was not like his grandfather at all, but now he felt that they were indeed a family, talking less and doing more of the same thing, not the type of boastful talk.

When we arrived at the bamboo forest, Gu Mingyu was already panting from exhaustion. Grandpa Ji shook his head at him, "Little Gu is going to exercise, and I will come to the mountains with my younger brother for more walks in the future."

Gu Mingyu had difficulty breathing, unable to speak, so she could only nod her head.It took a long time to realize that Grandpa Ji's words seemed to be wrong.

——Do you come to the mountains with your younger brother?

Qianshan Village is so remote, ordinary friends don't have the opportunity to come here often, and they don't go back to their own homes.

No matter what Gu Mingyu was thinking, the grandparents of the Ji family found the right place and started digging.

The hoe was as flexible as chopsticks in Grandpa Ji's hands. He used it deftly, pulling the hoe in one direction, and yellow bamboo shoots popped out after three or two strokes.Ji Linyuan was also very skillful in his movements. When he was almost done digging, he dropped the hoe and reached out to hold it.

They dug five of them before giving up, and then Grandpa Ji asked Gu Mingyu to wait there, and he and Ji Linyuan crawled to the place where they installed the trap to see the cage.They had to go through the bushes there, and Ji Linyuan said there might be snakes, so Gu Mingyu was too frightened to move, and obediently stayed where he was, waiting for them to come back.

It was very cool in the bamboo forest, and the sound of the wind blowing the bamboo leaves was very pleasant. Gu Mingyu felt that when he closed his eyes, he could imagine that he was a hermit in the bamboo forest in the world of immortals, and his mind seemed to be sublimated.

Not long after, Ji Linyuan came back with something in his arms.

In Grandpa Ji's hand was a heavy sack, with living things jumping inside.

"Pretend to be a rabbit." Grandpa Ji smiled all over his face, "Little Gu is lucky today, the rabbit is fat."

Gu Mingyu's attention was all on Ji Linyuan's side, the little black thing poked its head out of Ji Linyuan's arms, his eyes widened, "Is this a cat?"

"Cat, I don't know how to escape into the cage. This little guy is a foodie. He bullied the rabbit into a corner, and he contracted all the food." I will go to see the harvest every week. During this period, in order to lure the prey and fear that the prey will starve to death, they will put some food in the cage.

"Isn't it afraid of people?" The little black cat lay obediently in Ji Linyuan's arms, looked at Gu Mingyu with wide eyes, and seemed not afraid at all.

"Don't be afraid, I was so aggressive just now that I wanted to scratch me, and I beat my head, now I admit it."

Gu Mingyu stretched out his hand and rubbed the black cat's head. The little guy gritted his teeth first, and Ji Linyuan let it be petted cowardly, probably because he found it comfortable to be touched, so he narrowed his eyes and snored.

"so cute!"

On the way back, after crossing the mountain road to a flat place, Gu Mingyu held the kitten in her arms, stroked his head and whispered to it along the way. This black cat should not be a wild cat in the mountains, but a villager. The cub born to the cat I raised ran up the mountain for some reason.There is wildness, but not much, and I know how to read people's faces.

Back at Ji's house, Ji Linyuan and his grandfather were busy in the kitchen. Gu Mingyu was embarrassed to sit, and followed the cat into the kitchen, watching the fire in front of the stove.

When the meal was almost ready, Ji Linyuan's brother and sister-in-law came back with their little nephew.

"Hey, is there a visitor at home?" Ji Linyuan's sister-in-law had a loud voice, and she smiled heartily.

"Hello." Gu Mingyu greeted politely and cautiously. Ji Linyuan's elder brother Ji Linhua said hello and stayed in the kitchen to help, but his sister-in-law Fengjie came to the kitchen and walked around the kitchen. She smiled and said to her son, "Today's meal is so good. We can’t see any minced meat even if we want to see it on weekdays, and we are taking advantage of the guests.”

After speaking, he led his son out, saying he was going back to his room to wait for dinner, but he didn't ask his son to say hello to Mingyu.

Ji Linyuan was unhappy, walked over and said, "She's just like that, don't pay attention to her."

Gu Mingyu had heard about his sister-in-law for a long time, so naturally she didn't care.He also reminded him to keep his voice down so that his brother could not hear him.

Ji Linyuan was already used to his sister-in-law being so rude, but seeing her like this in front of Mingyu, he felt very resentful, and his anger was more than ten times higher than when she offended him.

Seeing that he seemed to be very angry, Gu Mingyu reached out and scratched his palm, and Ji Linyuan's anger dissipated a lot.

When Gu Mingyu looked up, he realized that this scene happened to be seen by Grandpa Ji Linyuan. His heart immediately rose to his throat, and he was about to stop, but saw Grandpa Ji smiled and shook his head, then said nothing, and lowered his head to deal with the rabbit in his hand. .
