新石器时代

Gu Shenlan took the initiative to reach out to Gu Xiaolu: "Hello, kid, I am the actor's father, and my name is Jin Dalong."

Gu Xiaolu blinked and blinked: "But I remember the actor said that his surname is not Jin."

Gu Shenlan: "Uh"

"He also named the girl he picked up Gu Lulu."

This stuffing is really horrible.Ji Huaifeng and Fan Siming turned their heads aside.

Gu Shenlan turned her head and said, "Yes, I am the son-in-law of their family. His and her mother's surnames are Gu. Later, he became an actor, and his stage name was my surname Jin."

Gu Xiaolu actually believed it, and suddenly realized: "So that's the case." Then he asked: "Can you give me a sentence?"

Gu Shenlan quickly agreed: "A hundred sentences are fine!"

Gu Xiaolu said seriously: "Tell him, don't whisper to Xiaofeng and my family in the future if you have nothing to do, is there anything you can't say in front of everyone?"

Ji Huaifeng: "" He finally understood why Gu Xiaolu suddenly felt awkward when the film king was about to leave - it turned out to be because of this!There were a few times when Gu Xiaolu suddenly intervened sinisterly when he was talking to the actor, but he didn't realize the seriousness of the problem.

Gu Xiaolu is jealous!

Ji Huaifeng giggled happily.

In the blink of an eye, Gu Shenlan's eye knife had gone out: "Is there such a thing?" Ji Huaifeng hurriedly leaned into his ear and whispered, "We can't talk about his illness in front of him, can we?"

Gu Shenlan nodded understandingly, and said in a low voice: "But we must also take care of his emotions, be careful not to let him see it! Also, don't whisper to anyone outside our family!"

Ji Huaifeng wiped off his sweat, nodded: "I know."

Gu Xiaolu turned his head away in despair: "Let's forget it, now even you are talking to him."

Gu Shenlan and Ji Huaifeng: ""

After lunch, Liang Tian came to their home on behalf of the village assembly to read out the verdict on Gu Xiaolu's wounding.After discussion at the village meeting, it was decided to implement labor reform on Gu Xiaolu—the specific labor content was to maintain the canals and waterwheels of the whole village, and the time was one year.If Gu Xiaolu is willing to continue to do this job after one year, the village will pay him.

After Liang Tian finished speaking, the two behind him helped Zhou Limin to Gu Xiaolu.Zhou Limin glared angrily, gritted his teeth and said, "I'm sorry."

Gu Xiaolu twitched his lips: "It's not wrong for a person to like to fart, but it's not right to deliberately let out disgusting people."

Zhou Limin was furious and wanted to kick him with a wave of his leg.Liang Tian and the others hurriedly pushed him out.

The consequence of this incident was that everyone in the village found out that something was wrong with Gu Xiaolu, and they detoured far away when they saw him.

Gu Shenlan brought Fan Siming to see Gu Xiaolu's injuries every day.Gu Xiaolu lay down for another seven or eight days, and gradually he was able to get up, walk and eat by himself.This is the coldest time of the year.Fortunately, Ji Huaifeng had hoarded a lot of charcoal, and the fire in the firepit was burning every day, making the house warm.When the wound got better, he began to think about making bamboo ware again.In the past, what he made up were all containers for holding things. Now Han Shangkun and his hundreds of people have settled down in the valley next door, and there is a shortage of utensils such as tables and chairs.He made these specially for them, and he didn't even need to set up a stall on the street.

That day Fan Siming unplugged Gu Xiaolu, and Gu Shenlan called Ji Huaifeng outside the house and muttered, "I'm leaving for a few days. Watch Xiaolu carefully. If he loses a hair when I come back, I killed you."

Ji Huaifeng let out a sigh of relief: "Where are you going?"

Gu Shenlan walked around a few times with her hands behind her back: "Aren't you planning to plant the land, but the only ones that can be planted are cassava and sweet potatoes, how can this be possible. Han Shangkun and the others are also opening up wasteland. I want to get some crop seeds back."

"Crops? Rice and corn? Where are they left now?"

Gu Shenlan patted him on the shoulder: "Don't ask. Anyway, as long as I get it, I will give it to you."

Ji Huaifeng suddenly remembered: "Is it—that place? The place where you took refuge?"

Generally, when countries build such fortifications for asylum, they will not only put food, water, medicine and other things necessary for survival, but also keep plant seeds inside, just in case.Theirs is probably no exception.

Gu Shenlan was a little surprised: "You know? By the way, what Xiao Zhen said, he told you. Did you really go?"

Ji Huaifeng nodded: "Yes, I also saw the letter you left at the gate. You said it was full of viruses, and we didn't even go in."

Gu Shenlan patted him on the forehead: "You idiot, I wrote it to scare people. Viruses have to eat, and they have to attach to animals or people to survive. People are dead, so how can viruses survive?" ?”

Ji Huaifeng: ""

"There are a lot of useful things in there. We left in too much haste at the time, so we only took the most urgent ones. Now I take people to move them all back. You just need to tidy up the land, and you will plant it by then."

Ji Huaifeng: "Okay." After a pause, he added: "Be careful on the road."

Originally, the conversation should have ended here, but Gu Shenlan waved to him again: "Wait——There is something, I think you should know."

Ji Huaifeng's heart was lifted to his throat again: "Huh?"

Gu Shenlan hesitated for a long time before saying, "Xiao Lu's mother committed suicide."

Ji Huaifeng was completely stunned.Gu Xiaolu never mentioned this matter to him.Could it be that--

"At that time, Xiaolu was still in elementary school. It would be a long story. You know that Xiaozhen is my son, right? When I was studying in the United States, I met Xiaozhen's mother. Later, I asked her to come back to China with me. She didn't want to. I had to come back. I had no choice but to split up. After I came back, I met Xiaolu's mother and got married. After a few years, I heard that Xiaozhen's mother died of illness. Leaving a son—my son—I was very sad, so I wanted to take Xiao Hazel back. Xiaolu’s mother was not happy, and quarreled with me every day, and said I was unfaithful—I said, what can I do? Well, when I was with her, you didn't know where you were. I didn't go to another woman behind your back. She said that I have been hiding this from her, which is infidelity. I was young and had a bad temper , just kept arguing with her like this. After arguing for more than half a year, one day she suddenly asked me, is it because I miss Xiao Zhen’s mother so much because she is no longer here? I didn’t speak. In the end——she—— Short-sighted. Jumped from the balcony at home. Oaru just came back from school, and his mother fell in front—”

Ji Huaifeng almost suffocated.He finally understood where the lingering breath of despair that lingered on Gu Xiaolu's body came from.

"Sorry." That was all he could say now.

Gu Shenlan took a deep breath for a long time, and finally calmed down.He took out a mechanical watch to check the time, "Hey, Chinese New Year is only a few days away. I probably won't be able to make it back in time, so eat the New Year's Eve dinner by yourself, and eat well."

Only then did Ji Huaifeng realize that they hadn't looked at the calendar for a long time.He hurriedly grabbed Gu Shenlan: "Wait, tell me first, what day is it now?"

After Gu Shenlan left, their house suddenly became a little deserted without the guests who visited on time every day.Gu Xiaolu didn't talk much at first, but after what happened last time, he became even more silent. Often it was Ji Huaifeng who said a few words to him, and he would respond once or twice.Ji Huaifeng felt that this was not a good omen, but there was nothing he could do.

After all, no one in the village is willing to talk to Gu Xiaolu anymore.He even started thinking about moving.Perhaps going to a new place and getting to know new neighbors will make Gu Xiaolu feel better.

He deliberately picked the day of New Year's Eve to ask Gu Xiaolu's opinion on the sidelines.

Because they knew it was Chinese New Year, they prepared more things than usual.Barbecue broth and steamed cakes made of cassava are placed on the small bamboo table; a small tube of wine is still warming in the bamboo tube by the fire pit.After getting used to drinking the wine of Luo Liang's family, he realized that it was actually not that bad.

The hot soup and hot wine scalded their stomachs very hard, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on their foreheads.Ji Huaifeng complained while the iron was hot: "I found that the land here is not very good. The soil is very hard and there is no nutrition."

Gu Xiaolu kept silent as usual.Ji Huaifeng said again: "I was thinking, since we want to cultivate the land, we need the land to be fertile enough. Otherwise, we have worked hard for a whole year and received nothing. Wouldn't it be a waste of effort?"

"Then what do you want? Go steal fertilizer from other people's latrines?"

Ji Huaifeng: "I mean, we can look elsewhere, maybe there is enough fertile land elsewhere?"

Gu Xiaolu carefully spat out a small piece of bone, "Moving?"

"Uh huh!"

"Where to go?"

Just three words stopped Ji Huaifeng.

Gu Xiaolu smiled: "I think this place is pretty good. It's not like we haven't been to other places. It hasn't been planted for several years. Where is the land not like this? This house has only been built for a few days? Now we are moving. It’s time to build a new one. You don’t mind the hassle.”

Ji Huaifeng asked cautiously: "Xiao Lu, are you happy here?"

Gu Xiaolu replied honestly, "I'm not happy anywhere."

After Gu Xiaolu fell asleep, Ji Huaifeng leaned over and whispered into his ear.

Fan Siming said that the reason why Gu Xiaolu was extremely nervous was because he was extremely insecure, so when he was attacked—or the attack he imagined, he would mobilize all his strength to resist.Ji Huaifeng then asked how to make him feel safe?Fan Siming refused to speak, and only let him think about it.

Ji Huaifeng thought, maybe Fan Siming was just talking nonsense, after all, he was not a psychiatrist before.But Ji Huaifeng still kept an eye out.He once heard that what a person hears in his sleep remembers it better than usual.

He decided to give it a try.

So Gu Xiaolu fell into a very strange dream.

He dreamed that he was lying in a small, dirty hotel room.There is no window in the room, so it is impossible to tell whether it is day or night outside.There was a dim lamp in the room.The yellow light made him dizzy.He felt like the whole world was turning.It was hot in the head—or rather, the whole body.It was so hot that he was about to faint.He wanted to vomit, but couldn't.There was a place on my leg where it felt like a thick, thick needle had been stuck inside, and the pain was unbearable.

However, what made him most uncomfortable was the sense of powerlessness that went deep into his bones.It seemed as if he wanted to grab something, but he couldn't even stretch out a finger.

At this moment, he heard a voice saying: "Xiaolu, I love you."

There was obviously no one around, but the voice seemed to speak against his ear.So he thought it was his hallucination.

However, the voice repeated again: "Little oar, I love you."

He wondered a little sadly whether it was because he wanted to hear this sentence so much that he had auditory hallucinations.

But this auditory hallucination was repeated for too long.These five words rang in his ears like a VCR, repeated eighty times if not a hundred times.After hearing too much, he began to feel shameless.To long for something so as to have such crazy hallucinations is just cheap.

Worst of all, he couldn't make the voice stop.

The surrounding area is still empty.He felt himself being pulled into a warm, firm embrace.The feeling of dizziness and pain was instantly relieved a lot.Someone kissed him.The space around him began to distort.Like a water-soaked watercolor, the whole world crumbles.

Then he too was drowned and suffocated.

He waved his hands instinctively, and even grabbed someone's shoulder.

"Little oar, wake up, little oar—wake up!"

Opening his eyes, he saw Ji Huaifeng leaning over him from the corner of the fire pit, looking at him anxiously.

He finally realized that he was just dreaming.

He gave Ji Huaifeng a wry smile, turned over and turned his back.But a sleepless night.

Ji Huaifeng felt that he had failed.Those words not only did not make Gu Xiaolu feel more at ease, but his complexion became much uglier the next day.In order not to arouse Gu Xiaolu's suspicion, he forced himself to pretend that nothing happened, and put on a happy face to celebrate the new year.

Gu Xiaolu discovered that after the leaves of a certain plant were boiled with water, the boiled soup was red.So on the first day of the Lunar New Year, they cooked a large pot of thick soup, dipped it in broken branches, and wrote many "Fu" characters on the doors and walls.Gu Xiaolu also drew a strange thing on the door.Ji Huaifeng wondered: "What is this?"

Gu Xiaolu triumphantly threw away the branch: "The door god."

Ji Huaifeng looked at it for a long time before he recognized it: it was a lock.
