Chapter 29

Guo Xiu lay on the door panel, reached out and grabbed the bamboo pole, she turned her head to look at Cao Shi and laughed.

"Here!" Cao Shi held the bamboo pole in his hand, looked at the smiling woman, and nodded slowly towards her.

"Quick, there's a log behind you!" Guo Xiu pointed to a log behind Cao Shi and said loudly.

Cao Shi turned his head to look at the drifting log, and pushed it to the woman with a bamboo pole.

Guo Xiu quickly tied the log to the door panel with a rope.

"When I have enough wood tied to the door panel on my side, we will change seats."

After hearing her words, Cao Shi's eyes gradually warmed up. He turned his head and looked around, and whenever he saw anything floating on the water, he pushed them to the side of the woman.

Guo Xiu, on the other hand, wandered around the door panel and kept tying it until she had no more rope in her hands.

"I'm out of rope!"

"I have it in the pannier."

Guo Xiu heard that he took out the rope from his back basket and tied it up. The sun slowly moved from above their heads to behind them. She shook her sore wrist and looked at the fruits of the afternoon's labor and laughed.

"It should be fine now, let's change seats and try."

Cao Shi nodded, and he held the bamboo pole to relay the two quickly changed seats.

Guo Xiu looked at Cao Shi who was standing firmly on the door panel, and rubbed his sore neck; "It's finally all right now."

Cao Shi looked at the sweating woman, and a smile slowly appeared on his face.

Guo Xiu blinked her eyes in disbelief; "You actually laughed, you laughed just now, you should smile more on weekdays, keep a stern face all day long like others owe you hundreds of taels of silver, you It still looks good when you smile.”

"Then so much nonsense and continue to work!"

"Oh!" Guo Xiu started busy again with the rope in her hand, and she didn't hold her hand until it was completely dark and the moon came out.

"Okay, I'm lighter, so that's fine."

"Well, let's eat!"

Guo Xiu reached out and brought her pannier over, took out a gourd and looked at Cao Shi, "Wash your hands! After all, the flood is not clean, if you eat steamed buns directly, you will easily get sick."

Cao Shi frowned slightly when he heard that, although he knew what Guo Xiu said was reasonable, but he didn't agree; "Water is very important to us."

"I naturally know that if it is not necessary, I will not waste it."

"You wash it! I don't need it."

"Wait!" Guo Xiu took out a handkerchief from the basket and wrapped a steamed bun and handed it to him.

"You will eat like this from now on! We managed to survive today, so we have to reward ourselves."

After hearing this, Cao Shi took the steamed bun and started to eat it.

Guo Xiu washed her right hand, wiped it clean with a handkerchief, and then took out a steamed bun and ate it. At this time, she vaguely seemed to hear someone calling.

"Don't bother, just pretend you didn't hear anything."

Cao Shi obviously heard it too, so he warned her.

"I know, although I am soft-hearted, I am not that great!"

"It's best to remember what you said. We can't save others, and we're not saints. What we have to do is to live hard and overcome all difficulties."

"Ok!"

At this moment, the two of them suddenly heard a scream followed by the sound of falling into the water. Cao Shi glanced behind them, a chill flashed in his eyes, and then he looked away; "Sleep!"

"Call me in the middle of the night! Now I need to change."

When Cao Shi heard this, he turned around and turned his back.

Guo Xiu looked at his tall back and joked; "I've been yours for a long time, why should you avoid it, I really hope you can take a look at him in a fair way!"

Cao Shi's ears turned red when he heard her words.

"Okay, you can turn around!"

Cao Shi turned around and saw Guo Xiu lying on the door panel, covered with a thin quilt, he took out two clothes from the back basket and threw them to her, and sat down cross-legged.

Guo Xiu put all the clothes on her body and soon fell asleep.
