Chapter 93

"Hey, Xiao Gu Xi is growing so fast, and this dress is half short." The man said while shaking his head and sighing: "Gu Xi, have you ever thought about going out of this mountain?"

"No, it's good to live here with Dad." Gu Xi shook his head, this kind of time is really rare, she really has nothing to ask for when she has him.

"When Xiao Guxi grows older, let's go down the mountain..." The man lowered his head, and Gu Xi suddenly realized that the mortals who she thought she could see through at a glance, at this moment, were unexpectedly elusive to her.

"Father, don't you want Gu Xi?" Gu Xi looked at the man, who suddenly smiled, and turned his head to face Gu Xi.

"How could it be?" He seemed to have something on his mind, but he didn't want to tell Gu Xi.

"If possible, I want to stay by Dad's side all the time." Gu Xi looked up at the sky. She had never walked out of this mountain in her first life, but she was reincarnated with memories, and she did not yearn for the outside world. .

"..." The man seemed a little moved, and tears welled up in his eyes. He also raised his head, looked at the setting sun in the sky, and said, "Gu Xi, I'll take you down the mountain tomorrow to buy clothes. I'll buy yellow ones. s color."

"Listen to Dad." Gu Xi looked at the man. She didn't know what he had experienced in the past, but it must have been an unpleasant past, so that in the past ten years with him, he never once mentioned his youth. time experience.

In the early morning of the next day, the man carried the pheasants and hares he had hunted yesterday on his shoulders early, and then he carried a bundle of firewood. He also carried the fresh fruits and vegetables picked in the early morning in his hand, and wore a bamboo hat, ready to go.

"Father, I'll help you." Gu Xi took the fruit from the man's hand.

"Okay, Xiao Guxi has grown up." The man said happily.

I thought this was just an ordinary trip, but I never thought that this would be the journey that Gu Xi regretted most in this life.

The trails in the mountains are winding and winding. Walking in this autumn wind, I feel an indescribable comfort in my heart.

"Tired?"

"Not tired."

"Thirsty, eat some fruit." The man looked at the half-grown child with guilt in his eyes.

"Okay, dad will eat too." Gu Xi took out a fruit from the bag and stuffed it into his mouth, took out another fruit, rubbed it on his sleeve, and handed it to the man's mouth.

The man smiled, took a bite, and then held it with his hand...

Below the mountain, a peaceful small village lies on the land.

The man knocked on the door of each house, asking if they would collect those objects in the mountain.

Then he exchanged some money and brought Gu Xi to the small town.

The so-called small towns are mostly street vendors, and there are few open-faced businesses.

As soon as the two stepped into this area, they attracted everyone's attention. The man hurriedly pushed down the bamboo hat, as if he was afraid of something.

Gu Xi was looked at a little unnaturally, looking down at himself, it was indeed very funny, the sleeves of the clothes were half short, the trouser legs were almost hanging above the knees, and a pair of straw sandals that were almost worn out were hand-woven by men. Yes, it really looks like a savage.

But what everyone cares about is not these, they care more about Gu Xi's bright eyes and bright teeth, and that black and shiny hair that reaches down to his waist. Must be a very beautiful woman.

Finally, the two found a store that bought clothes and cloth, and the man dragged Gu Xi into the store.

"What do you want, sir?" The store owner was sorting out the bills, when he heard footsteps, he hurriedly raised his head to greet him with a smile, but he never expected that the two men dressed in rags and looking like beggars came, their faces darkened in an instant: " Go, go, where is the stinky beggar? Get out of here—"

"Boss, we are here to buy clothes, not beggars." The man awkwardly shielded Gu Xi behind him.

"Oh? Are you still wearing this little girl's clothes?" the shop owner asked dubiously.

"She is wearing yellow clothes."

The boss looked at Xia Guxi's body, then walked around among a pile of muddy clothes, picked out a set of bright yellow clothes, put them on the table, and said with disdain: "Go to the compartment over there to change." Go up and try."

"Go." The man pulled Gu Xi over and smiled, his eyes full of anticipation.

"Yeah." Gu Xi nodded.

When he stood in front of the man again, Gu Xi was already dressed dignifiedly.

"It's true that people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles! The little girl is born well!" the shop owner looked at Gu Xi and couldn't help but boast.

Gu Xi ignored him, but turned to look at the man and asked, "Father—do you look good?"

Seeing Gu Xi, the man's eyes almost brightened. He raised his head, looked at it obsessively, and smiled knowingly: "It looks good, Gu Xi is born beautiful, and she looks good in anything she wears!"

The shop owner raised his head inadvertently, looked at the man in a daze, and then glanced a few more times intentionally or unintentionally, as if he was hiding something in his heart.

"Boss—do you think this money is enough?" The man took out all the money from his waist and put it on the table: "If it is not enough, you can save the clothes for now, and I will buy them in a few days."

"boss?"

The boss stood there, thinking about something in a daze.

"Oh? Hahaha, this little girl just stared at me dumbfounded." Then he counted the money on the table, frowned and said, "It's really not enough, but my daughter is about the same size as this little girl. She has some worn clothes, it's a pity to throw them away, if you don't mind, give them to the little girl to wear first, it's always better than the old ones."

The man looked at Gu Xi with some embarrassment.

"Then I would like to thank the boss for his kindness." Gu Xi replied with a smile, and she really didn't notice that the boss's expression was a little weird.

"You wait, I'll get it, sit there and drink some tea, don't worry." After the boss entered the shop, a middle-aged woman came out from the back of the shop, carrying a pot of tea.

This time Gu Xi could see clearly, the woman's eyes looked at the man's face from time to time, with a guilty conscience.

"Ma'am, how old is your daughter?" Gu Xi seemed to ask casually.

"Daughter? I have three sons, and I have never had any daughters..." As soon as the words were spoken, the woman covered her mouth, realizing that she had revealed her secrets. When she saw the man on the seat, she stood up in a panic and pulled Gu Xi went out.

Gu Xi could sense what the man was hiding, and followed closely behind him without asking any further questions.

He hadn't run a few steps before he went out, when there was a burst of scattered and noisy footsteps behind him.

"That's him—the one pulling the girl, don't let him run away!"

The man pulled Gu Xi and ran quickly, but Gu Xi was wearing straw sandals, which couldn't withstand such a toss, and fell apart after a while. Gu Xi was barefoot, and a sharp stone scratched the center of her foot. Open, she trembled in pain, and couldn't help crying out.

"what--"

The man turned his head and saw that the ground was already soaked in blood. He hurriedly put Gu Xi on his back while running and muttering: "It's my father's fault. It's my father who made Gu Xi tired. Unexpectedly, after ten years, they still don't know each other." Will let me go..."
