Episode 81
Looking down from the top of the mountain, the light blue creek circled into a circle, embracing the place where one could see.
The houses built of stone and bricks, as Gu Huaiyu had guessed, showed a subtle arc, and the cultivated land and the paddy fields were also far away.
The whole looks like an enlarged version of the gossip map with the wrong color.
Gu Huaiyu took a bite of the fruit he picked from the tree, and said in a vague voice, "Similar to what I thought."
Ji Chun also picked a fruit for himself, and thought about it and said, "Didn't the village chief say that there are many wild beasts on the mountain, but I found that since we came to the present, let alone beasts, I didn't even hear the birds."
When Ji Chun said this, Gu Huaiyu finally noticed this. She looked at Ji Chun, pursed her lips and said nothing.
"Boss Gu, what's the matter with you?" Ji Chun hurriedly asked when Gu Huaiyu's eyes were not right at him.
Gu Huaiyu shook his head, "It's okay, but I didn't expect you to be more sharp than I thought."
She had always felt that something was wrong on the mountain, but she didn't want to understand.
Now that Ji Chun said it, she finally felt that something was wrong.
In the entire village, except for the living people like them, only the villagers are alive.
Everything else is dead.
To be precise, it was deathly silence.
Ji Chun scratched his head embarrassedly, "No, but before I took the job, I spent a while in the countryside. There are birds and insects every day, so I am more sensitive."
Gu Huaiyu glanced at him strangely, "Why are you going to the countryside?"
In Ji Chun's identity, things like this need to go to the countryside can basically be handed over to others. If you go personally, it will be unnecessary.
Ji Chun said vaguely, "It's not that kind of countryside, it's where only I can go."
Gu Huaiyu raised her eyebrows, "What are you going there for?"
Ji Chun smiled, "Find something."
However, Ji Chun didn't say exactly what it was, and Gu Huaiyu didn't ask any more.
The sentence she asked more frequently was actually just a casual question. There are some things about Ji Chun that she really shouldn't ask.
Gu Huaiyu sighed, "If you still can't let go, you can ask me for help." She persuaded.
Ji Chun's smile didn't look so real at this time. He shook his head, his voice was a little low, "It's useless, she won't forgive me, no matter what I do, I can't find her..."
Gu Huaiyu pursed her lips and said nothing.
Some things she can help, but some things can't.
"You said before you saw me outside the painting, where did you see it?" Gu Huaiyu asked suddenly.
Ji Chun pointed to the sun above, "There."
Gu Huaiyu looked at the place he pointed, and saw nothing else.
"You can't see it during the day, you have to wait for the night." Ji Chun said.
"How many times have you sneaked out at night?"
Ji Chun smiled awkwardly, "Not many times, but occasionally a few times."
Gu Huaiyu looked at him and snorted coldly, but never asked again.
"Okay, now that the general direction has been determined, then we will go down the mountain first, and we will talk about other things when the time comes."
Ji Chun nodded in agreement and said with a shy smile, "I will wait for Boss Gu to take me to fly now."
"... Promising!"
Ji Chun grinned, but didn't say anything to refute.
Gu Huaiyu was very close to Ji Chun's temporary house, only one house apart.
When Gu Huaiyu was about to return to her house, a little yellow dog kept spinning in front of her door, chasing her own tail and biting.
But when it saw Gu Huaiyu, it immediately stopped, and then threw at her feet very excited, its tail wagging cheerfully, as if it were begging for a hug and begging to be touched.
Gu Huaiyu also followed its meaning, rubbing its exposed belly, watching it look unhappy.
"This is Boss Li's Xiaotai?" Gu Huaiyu asked with some uncertainty.
Ji Chun denied, "No, Xiao Tai from Boss Li's house is dead a long time ago."
"died?"
"Yeah." Ji Chun said, "Xiaotai came in from behind, but its lifespan was already very short. In addition, after two years in the village, it is natural to die."
He walked to the other side of the little yellow dog, rubbed its head and said, "The rhubarb was born to a bitch in the village by Xiao Tai. Except for the body shape of Xiao Tai, the others have inherited the one from the village. Bitch."
Gu Huaiyu paused when he rubbed Rhubarb's hand. She could already imagine what would happen to the little fat man crying after she got out when she learned that his little Tai was dead long ago.
"How did you meet Boss Li?" she asked.
Ji Chun thought for a while, "It was introduced by a friend."
"Which friend?"
"A rich friend!"
Gu Huaiyu: "..."
In the end, Gu Huaiyu still didn't know from Ji Chun's mouth what the rich friend in his mouth was.
Because Rhubarb refused to leave Gu Huaiyu, she finally took Rhubarb back to her temporary residence.
Ji Chun looked at the rhubarb with a bit of resentment. After a long time, he only suffocated the words, "People are not as good as new, and dogs are not as good as old."
Gu Huaiyu sneered, then closed the door in front of him, distinguishing the new and the old world.
In the evening, Gu Huaiyu once again went to the common canteen in the village to eat, and he swept away, no matter the old and new villagers, they were all complete.
But the expression looked different from the one I saw this morning.
There was a more or less stiff feeling on everyone's face, and the whole cafeteria was silent. There was a sound of eating and drinking soup, not even any other sound.
Gu Huaiyu glanced at Ji Chun, who was leaning against her for dinner, and seeing that he was also shutting his mouth and not talking, she didn't say anything.
I just waited for the meal and when I went back, I asked, "Why didn't you talk just now? What are the rules?"
She saw Ji Chun's face that I wanted to talk, but she held back.
"No, there is no rule that you can't talk when you eat." Ji Chun explained, "The main reason is that at night, everyone is quiet and doesn't talk like during the day. If I talk, the voice will be obvious and it feels weird. ."
So to be precise, I was afraid that I would be heard whispering.
But it's right to think about it. When everyone is silent or silent, even if your voice is low, it sounds like a normal speaking volume.
Ji Chun thought for a while, and asked in a low voice in Gu Huaiyu's ear, "Boss Gu, do you want to go out tonight, taking advantage of the good moonlight."
Gu Huaiyu raised his eyebrows to look at him, "Aren't you afraid that the wild piglet ran out of the mountain at night and took you away?"
Ji Chun snorted, "The wild piglet won't take me away."
Then he saw no one around, and hurriedly said, "I will take you to Taolin to see if no one knows tonight."
