The leader's strong man

Gu Jiuyuan followed Guan Yan all the time, and only frowned when he saw him walking back with a basket on his back.

He has never followed someone like today to observe the other person's every move, speculate on the other person's mind, think about his behavior at the moment is probably similar to Xiaoxiao?

But he had no other better way to restore his memory.

It's not that he never thought about contacting Guan Yan with his current appearance, but because of his man's nature, he would probably keep a distance from him. He couldn't just hang around in front of a man as if nothing had happened after hurting his self-esteem.

At least not yet.

The man has been concerned about his identity since he met him. If he can't recover his memory, to the man, he is just a complete stranger now.This is another kind of injury to a man who values ​​feelings.

All kinds of worries flashed through his mind one by one, and when Gu Jiuyuan straightened out his thoughts, Guan Yan had already walked to a desolate stream.

Dry and yellow leaves were piled up on the rocky beach, and the surrounding vines that used to climb into the midair through the trees to form a net also lost their leaves, leaving only bare branches crawling like roots hanging in the air.

The trees are barren, the sky is high and far away, the water flows between the stones, and three or two birds are jumping by the stream, and their calls are clear and clear, adding to the loneliness.

He untied the basket, took out the bamboo tube and bread, and Guan Yan sat on the big rock and ate his late lunch with a numb expression.

Gu Jiuyuan didn't have breakfast yet, and he's hungry now, but seeing the man's lack of appetite, he lost his appetite.

The life of the farmer's family is not rich, but a man is practical and capable and should have money. The life is so poor, is it because of his health?

The deep black eyes stared at the man's broad and straight back, and some fragments of the dream involuntarily played in his mind. Gu Jiuyuan, who just felt that he had no appetite, rolled up and down his Adam's apple, but still felt a little hungry.

Concentrating on his mind, Gu Jiuyuan added one more item to the plan—instructing Elder Liu to collect relevant information on diseases that would come into heat regularly.

A fiery red maple leaf was flowing downstream from the upstream, and curious fish were chasing after it. Guan Yan stared blankly, swallowed the food in his mouth for a long time, turned his eyes back, got up and left.

Want to collect medicine?Don't take a break?

Gu Jiuyuan frowned.

Before Guan Yan stepped forward, there was a "snap", as if something fell from a height and hit the stone.

He subconsciously turned around.

I saw a snake whose back color was very similar to that of a withered vine, and there was a gray and white large square pattern on it moving violently on the stone. Looking at its head and neck, it was clearly a Viper!

Guan Yan looked suspiciously at the place where the viper fell, and it was obvious that the viper fell from the netted dead vine above.

...so careless?

Vipers can be used as medicine, Guan Yan walked over without much hesitation. Vipers rolled down from the stone, struggled in the crevices for a while, and then gradually stopped moving.After Guan Yan confirmed that the Viper was completely dead, he picked it up and threw it into the basket. He was going to clean it up and dry it in the sun after returning home to dry it into pieces.

Gu Jiuyuan breathed a sigh of relief seeing that he didn't intend to continue to go deep into the mountains to collect medicine. The mountains are full of small wild animals. It would be too stupid for him to throw a bunch of wild animals in front of men just to stop them.

Guan Yan walked down the mountain with a basket of herbs, a rabbit and a snake on his back. When he passed a cave buried by rocks, he stopped and put the basket aside.

...What is this for?

Under Gu Jiuyuan's puzzled eyes, Guan Yan walked up to the falling rocks and tore away the dead vines hanging from the mountain, then bent down to remove the stones blocking the entrance of the cave.

The man's face is very calm, but if you look closely, you can find a stubbornness hidden in the depths of his eyes.

Sweat protruded from the tip of his nose, and Guan Yan was out of breath after working all morning, but he kept his hands and feet, and quickly cleared away the small falling rocks that could be moved.

The rest were large boulders half a person's height. Guan Yan found a wooden stick to pry open the stacked boulders.But when his arm exerted strength, the shoulder blade muscles affected the injury on his chest, his face immediately turned pale, and the tense muscles immediately relaxed.

Gu Jiuyuan stared at him intently, and found that his expression changed, and his expression changed accordingly.

Elder Liu said last night that the man's internal injuries have not healed, so he is not suitable for heavy work!

What is there in the cave that is worth his trouble?

Guan Yan pulled out the wooden stick with a sullen face, and tried to pry it in another direction, but as soon as he exerted force, the wound ached.

Leaning his back against the rock, Guan Yan panted lightly, but Guan Yan didn't dare to be brave any more, so he sat down and drank water to rest.

There was a blush on the man's resolute cheeks. He lowered his eyes and looked at the ground, pursing his slightly wet lips. The clothes on the back were wet and sticky to his body, outlining a strong and flexible waist.

Gu Jiuyuan licked his lips, feeling his lips and tongue were thirsty, and the hunger in his stomach was much stronger.

The autumn wind wiped away the sweat from his forehead, Guan Yan put away the water bag, and slowly picked up the basket.He glanced at the big rocks, his eyes dimmed, and he lowered his head down the mountain.

The hem of the snow-white clothes swayed, and Gu Jiuyuan jumped down from the tree.

Watching the man's lonely back slowly go away, the young man raised his brows, turned his head to look at those unsightly rocks, his true energy surged out from his dantian and gathered in his palm, and he patted lightly with his jade-white fingers, The big rock firmly guarding the entrance of the cave seemed to have grown feet, and ran away in a hurry!

His handsome face was soaked in rouge, and he galloped wildly with the enthusiasm of his true energy. Gu Jiuyuan looked cold and serious, and he slapped away all the falling rocks with his palms, and then swept away with the wind of his palms, cleaning up all the cave entrances.

In the afternoon, the mottled tree shadows fell on Gu Jiuyuan's extremely gorgeous cheeks, like moving magic charm patterns, combined with the deep pupils that were both soul-stirring and chilling.

A cool and damp atmosphere rushed towards his face, and with a trace of suspicion in his heart, Gu Jiuyuan went straight into the cave.

The entrance is only more than ten feet deep, probably because it was poured with rainwater before and was blocked by falling rocks. The cave is too humid, and moss has grown on the stone walls, and even the bamboo mat on the ground has grown mushrooms.

Looking around the cave, Gu Jiuyuan became more and more curious. It was obvious that someone once lived in this cave, but the layout inside the cave was too simple. There was only a stone table, a bamboo mat and some bamboo tubes and wooden bowls...

Gu Jiuyuan looked at the past carefully, and finally set his eyes on a pair of straw sandals that were clogged with mud.

A very reasonable guess suddenly came to mind, Gu Jiuyuan hesitated for a very rare moment before picking up the pair of deformed straw sandals.

Measuring it with his fingers, Gu Jiuyuan's black eyes surged violently, wisps of white smoke emerged from his skin flushed by the heat, his heart throbbed uncontrollably in his chest cavity, a kind of speechless The throbbing hits the deepest part of my heart.

Lifting his energy and luck, he left the cave and headed for the stream just now. Gu Jiuyuan put the straw sandals into the stream and cleaned them carefully.

The stream was crystal clear, and the fish swam comfortably in the water. Gu Jiuyuan picked up a stone and flew towards it, and the fish floated to the surface immediately after being hit.

Using internal force to dry the straw sandals and stuff them into his bosom, Gu Jiuyuan fished out the fish, disemboweled the belly, cleaned it up, and skewered it with tree branches to roast.

He doesn't know how to cook, but he can't starve himself to death by walking on the rivers and lakes, so he uses local materials, eats wild animals if there are wild animals, eats freshwater fish when there are river fish, and picks a few fruits to satisfy his hunger.

He doesn't pay much attention to what he eats, he just roasts the food until it's cooked.

This habit has not changed because he remembered some fragments of his own cooking.

After eating the unidentifiable fish, Gu Jiuyuan just extinguished the fire, and did not erase the traces according to the taboo of walking in the rivers and lakes.

Still feeling hungry even though there was something in his stomach, Gu Jiuyuan went back the same way and hid quietly on the osmanthus tree in Guanyan Courtyard.

During the time he was grilling the fish, Guan Yan had already processed the snake and soaked it in strong wine, ready to take it out and expose it to the sun tomorrow.

After the snake was dealt with, he started to deal with the rabbit. At this moment, Guan Yan was boiling water in the kitchen to peel the rabbit's skin. It didn't take long for Gu Jiuyuan to smell the mouth-watering fragrance again.

Good food should be paired with good wine, but does the man have wine?

Recalling the night when the two had an argument, the man blushed and questioned him angrily, he must have been somewhat drunk.

Well, the alcohol capacity is not good, there should be no alcohol in the house.

Gu Jiuyuan made another silent note.

Elder Wu said that during the Mid-Autumn Festival, enjoying the moon and eating crabs would be perfect with a pot of sweet-scented osmanthus.

... If you don't have a good capacity for alcohol, you can also take a sip.

An ear-piercing "rustling" sound came from the kitchen, Guan Yan poured water into the pot until it submerged the fragrant aniseed ingredients and rabbit meat, covered the pot and simmered over low heat.

There is no need to cook too many dishes for a meal alone, and there is still porridge cooked in the morning, and there is no need to wash rice and cook rice.

In the kitchen there was only the crackling sound of burning firewood and the bubbling sound of the boiling water in the pot. The tall figure of the man sat on a small stool and quietly watched the orange flames in the stove, his eyes blank, like a silent statue.

"Is Guan Yan at home?"

The unfamiliar shout brought Guan Yan back to his senses, he answered "Yes", got up, wiped his handle and pushed the door out.

The plump woman with a round face and a smiling mouth saw the handsome and resolute man with broad shoulders and long legs appearing at the door, her eyes lit up, and after looking him up and down, the smile on her face became more cordial.

"Hey, Guan Yan, I'm Aunt Chunhua from Toyota Village, the niece of Granny Hua's natal family in your village. I'm not going to celebrate the holidays, so I'm here to give Granny Hua a gift. I heard Granny Hua mention you and say that you are warm-hearted. I often show the old people a headache, and I am here to thank you."

Guan Yan said lightly: "It's a little effort."

The woman smiled again, moved her nose, looked at the kitchen window and asked, "It smells so good, are you making dinner?"

Guan Yan only replied "Yes", he didn't think there was anything to chat with a strange woman.

Seeing his indifferent expression, the woman didn't mind, and said with a smile: "Auntie took the liberty to come to the door, not for anything else, but just wanted to tell you about your marriage."

Guan Yan frowned slightly: "Please trouble me, I have no plans to marry a wife yet."

"It's not about marrying a wife." The woman's smile did not change, seeing Guan Yan's eyes showing doubts, she simply told him straight to the point.

"I have a good sister. She has a youngest son, who is 16 years old this year. He has beautiful features and a simple and cute personality. Because he was born as a eunuch, he was different from others since he was a child..."

The woman watched Guan Yan's expression while talking, and found that the man's eyes were calm, and she let out a sigh of relief.

She had been a matchmaker for so many years and hadn't introduced a man to a man. If it wasn't for her good sister who shed tears all day long and worried about how her youngest son would live in the rest of his life, and also heard that Guan Yan had generously donated money to help the villagers, she would have been ashamed to say so.

It's other people's business to cut off their sleeves. If you really find someone of the same sex to live with, it's equivalent to cutting off your offspring.

"Their family are all kind people, and they have seen it for so many years, and they just want to find someone who will love the youngest son." The woman said sincerely, "I have also asked, and I know your character before I dare to tell you this. If you are interested, I will take you to meet people..."

"I'm sorry, but I don't plan on getting a wife, and I don't plan on finding a boy."

When he still cared about other people's eyes, the woman promised: "Everyone in your village knows about you. If you really find someone in charge, you will not laugh at you. But you have been living alone in a corner, and the elders in your village are worried that you will die alone." .”

"Thank you, auntie, Guan Yan really didn't think so."

The woman still did not give up: "If you are still thinking about the little Jiugongzi, my aunt, as someone who has experienced it, would like to say that in addition to feelings, this marriage must also pay attention to the right family! The little Jiugongzi was born rich and prosperous, and has a bright future. He will definitely not be with you... "

A icy gaze fell on the woman, and the woman suddenly felt that the temperature around her body dropped suddenly, as if she had fallen into an ice hole, the chill crazily drilled in from the pores, and the words she wanted to say were suddenly stuck in her throat, and she couldn't even utter a sound. cannot.

An osmanthus flower gently fell from her body, falling soundlessly into the golden ground.

Hearing the name "Xiao Jiu" again, Guan Yan straightened his back, and said in a deep voice: "Guan Yan's decision has nothing to do with other people, so Auntie doesn't need to say it."

Hearing this, Gu Jiuyuan narrowed his eyes dangerously.

...is he someone else?

Suddenly, the woman was startled and suspicious, her eyeballs turned left and right, only to see the fallen flowers blowing in the wind, but the biting coldness lingered on her back like a light, lingering on her back.

With a pale face, she opened her mouth to Guan Yan, but she couldn't make a sound. She was even more panicked in her heart, and she couldn't care about anything else, so she forced the corner of her mouth to run away as if to escape.

The woman's expression was ugly and she wanted to say something to herself, but in the end she didn't say anything, but left in a panic. Want to go back to the house to watch the fire.

The smell of rabbit meat in the air became more and more intense, Gu Jiuyuan left with a cold face.

In the room, Guan Yan was sitting at the dining table, with a big pot of fragrant and tasty braised rabbit meat in front of him.

The man stuffed a piece of rabbit meat into his mouth, chewed and swallowed expressionlessly.

Raw rabbits are not tasty, but cooked rabbits are not necessarily delicious.
