MTL - Go Through the Book and Save the Hero!-v2 Chapter 47

The sky suddenly appeared, the gray-black sky was half a degree blank, and a faint pinkish yellow was inlaid on the edge of the clouds.

The lush trees on the mountain swayed gently with the wind, and after a while, the sound of messy footsteps sounded. The woods when the morning light first arrived was a little damp, the morning dew hung on the grass, and the fallen branches and leaves were stepped on the soft soil by one foot.

Zhou Ruyao carried a bamboo basket on his back, a small rubber band was used for the black hair at the end, and there were a few loose black hair scattered on his forehead. He was walking uphill, and before he took two steps, he turned around and pulled Gu Zhixing behind him, with a smile in his black eyes, "Axing, you are so weak."

Gu Zhixing gave him a sideways glance, but said nothing.

Li Hanshan supported Gu Zhixing's shoulders and gently pushed her up.

Pigweed, also known as Zheergen, usually grows near ponds, but the ponds near the village are a little further away, so they can only retreat up the mountain, where there are fish ponds contracted by others.

It took them about ten minutes to go up the mountain, and they even had a thin layer of sweat when and where it was very cool and even close to cold.

Not long after, they found the nearest fish pond.

The three began to search and pick according to the data map of pig grass.

Although Gu Zhixing suffered a little injury to his foot, the picking speed was extremely fast. After a while, a small layer of grass was spread on the bottom, while the other two only picked a few small handfuls.

Li Hanshan frowned slightly, rather surprised, "How did you find so many."

"I didn't tell you, I and A Xing were left behind at the summer camp before." Zhou Ruyao cut down a piece of hogweed with a sickle, and continued: "A Xing's mother found out about this. Later, A Xing took a month-long field survival course."

Gu Zhixing squinted his black eyes, and his face showed the vicissitudes of the past that could not be recalled, "If I mention it again, I will be stressed. The skin has been rubbed and the fire has not yet emerged."

"Your mother does seem to be worried about you, and she has a vision." Li Hanshan couldn't help but praise, and continued: "Many people have this kind of thing, and parents may not have it in their entire lives. Let the children go up the mountain."

Gu Zhixing thought for a while and said, "Lord Buddha, how can you tolerate a child being a softie."

Li Hanshan raised his eyebrows, but he knew Gu Zhixing's family background, three generations onwards were a family of famous people. But he didn't know that it was actually a woman in power now, even a foreign surname. After all, in his impression, inside a prominent family like Zhou Gu is more feudal superstition and cronyism, and most importantly, Gu Zhixing's mother...

Li Hanshan lowered his eyes, but listened to Zhou Ruyao: "Axing's mother is really a pure iron-blooded Lafayette. To be honest, I have never seen Axing in a rebellious period."

After Zhou Ruyao finished speaking, he chopped off a piece of hogweed and complained, "But it's almost done, what's there to talk about, I've already made half a frame of it!"

The two looked over and saw that Zhou Ruyao's bamboo basket was almost full in the past few minutes.

Gu Zhixing made a "tsk" sound, walked over impatiently, and tugged at the bamboo basket on Zhou Ruyao's back.

After a few minutes, she pulled out a large clump of weeds, "What is this."

Li Hanshan also took a look, grabbed more than half of the plants with small wildflowers, and even found a few dead branches. He didn't speak, just looked at Zhou Ruyao quietly.

Faced with the ironclad evidence in the hands of the two and the silent rebuke, Zhou Ruyao did not panic at all.

Zhou Ruyao: "Don't worry about this, is my speed fast?"

Gu Zhixing: "…"

Li Hanshan: “…”

Li Hanshan shook his head, turned around and started mowing, still thinking about what they said just now. Perhaps he had misunderstood, A Xing meant only to say that his mother had a strong personality, and nothing else.

The three of them immersed their heads in chopping the grass for almost an hour, and after a while, most of the three bamboo baskets were filled with frames. The three of them happily prepared to go down the mountain, but soon, the three encountered another problem.

Gu Zhixing: "I'll give you some points, you two will have a lot of face when you make up a full frame."

Zhou Ruyao: "Li Hanshan, have you heard, A Xing and I want to give you half of it, so that you can go back with face."

Li Hanshan: "I'll stand in front of you, I don't need to make a difference here."

Gu Zhixing: "But it's really tiring to carry."

Li Hanshan: "I'm tired too."

Zhou Ruyao: "I can't walk anymore, or let's throw some away."

Gu Zhixing: "But the three of us only carried a little back, so there is no shame in front of Lu Mengmeng."

Gu Zhixing's words made Li Hanshan and Zhou Ruyao silent for a moment.

Zhou Ruyao put down the bamboo basket and said, "Let's decide the outcome."

Zhou Ruyao clenched his fists and repeated: "Let's have an upright showdown. Those who lose will have to take more responsibility!"

Gu Zhixing looked solemn, "Okay."

Li Hanshan: "...OK."

Li Hanshan: "Then what do we compare."

Zhou Ruyao: "I haven't thought about it yet, Do you have any ideas, Axing?"

Gu Zhixing: "We need to finish the comparison as soon as possible now."

Li Hanshan: "Yes."

Gu Zhixing: "Let's use what we have to play the game. In order to ensure fairness, we'd better choose a game that relies on luck."

Zhou Ruyao: "Ah, hello."

Li Hanshan also looked at Gu Zhixing with a little appreciation, "It's rare that you think so thoroughly, so what are your thoughts?"

Gu Zhixing took out yesterday's toy revolver from his pocket, took out a sponge ball bullet in front of two people, loaded it, and slid the roulette.

Gu Zhixing: "Let's play Russian Roulette."

Zhou Ruyao: "As expected of Ah Xing, good idea!"

Li Hanshan: "...???"

The three of them worked hard all morning, and finally brought a few boxes of grass back to Lu Mengmeng's house. About ten o'clock and eleven o'clock, Lu Mengmeng finally went downstairs and had a fight with the three of them face to face.

Lu Mengmeng also knew that she was eager to go home, and within a few minutes of going downstairs, she took a few people to the car and went to the wedding scene.

However, this scene far exceeded the expectations of the three.

A table of running water mats spread from the courtyard to the roadside. The small room in the atrium should be the kitchen. Several women are sitting at the door washing and picking vegetables. The children next to them played with dust on their hands and faces. They ran away and were reprimanded from time to time by the men and women sitting in the guest seats not far away.

Each table is covered with plastic table mats, stacks of plastic bowls, plastic cups and disposable chopsticks, and bottles of drinks under the table. There is a large plastic awning on the open-air wine table. People under the shed are standing or sitting. A gust of wind blows.

In the kitchen not far away, a large pot of meat was placed directly at the door, and several strong men with big arms and round waists chopped and chopped on the cutting board.

All of this is a shocking revolution in vision, smell, hearing and even thinking for several people who grew up in the city.

Li Hanshan: "If I read it right, there is no plastic wrap on the prepared dishes."

Zhou Ruyao: "It turns out that it's not clean, it's not sick after eating."

Gu Zhixing: "Let's do as the locals do, we don't mind so much, we'll go back after dinner."

Gu Zhixing's words greatly comforted the two people around him.

Lu Mengmeng went to help just a few minutes after he arrived, and after a while, he took time to come over and bring the three to a table in the corner. Several elderly men were sitting at the table, who were now shouting in an extremely violent voice, as if they were making a noise. The three listened closely for half a minute and found that these men were just chatting.

Lu Mengmeng was obviously used to it, and she called out one by one without changing her face: "Hello, uncle three, good uncle, good uncle, this is my classmate, there is no other place to sit, You take good care of them."

Several men were very satisfied with Lu Mengmeng's attitude, so they dragged her to chat.

"Long time no see, how about going to high school in the city? Can you keep up with your studies?"

"You little girl is smart since she was a child. It would be great if my children could learn from you. There is no way out of not going to school these days."

"Strive to be a college student, be a college student, your family will honor your ancestors."

"Ah, that's how I study, it's not bad, I'll try my best to get into college. Well, I have to help, you guys take care of my classmates."

…

Lu Mengmeng left, the three of them looked at each other helplessly, and finally sat down awkwardly.

The three men didn't seem to regard them as outsiders at all. As soon as Lu Mengmeng left, they started talking to them on the back.

The third uncle poured a glass of wine into the plastic cup and said, "How many of you, how old are you this year?"

Li Hanshan chuckled lightly, with a gentle voice, as always, maintaining a near-perfect child from someone else's family, "Seventeen."

"Yo, I'm still not an adult yet?" The fourth uncle chimed in with a strange smile, "Can't you even drink wine?"

The third uncle said: "You are so young, you must be able to drink, right?"

He said, looking at the three.

At this time, the banquet seems to have started, and the dishes are served one after another.

Gu Zhixing looked at Li Hanshan and tilted his chin slightly.

Li Hanshan understood and said, "No, I'm not good at drinking."

Gu Zhixing did not speak, but Zhou Ruyao had already answered for her, "Neither can we, Ah Xing is allergic to alcohol, I have a stomach problem, and drinking it will hurt my body."

No matter how much the three of them mess around, they won't drink in unfamiliar places.

Alcohol, Beauty, Power.

These things are desires that they must learn to restrain before they have been exposed to them.

They are not inaccessible, but not now, and will not be now.

"What is poor drinking?" The third uncle knocked on the table, the plastic cup shook with the vibration, and the wine spilled out, "You don't drink much, how can you exercise your drinker? ?"

My uncle was beside me and said, "That's right, you and Mengmeng are classmates. We are all your elders, right? You don't know how to toast your elders?"

The fourth uncle didn't say a word, picked up the wine and poured it for them, his jet-black index finger was against the neck of the bottle, and the murmuring wine flowed from the mouth of the bottle and stained his fingers. Seeing this, the third uncle immediately said again: "Look, the elders have poured wine for you, can you drink it?"

Li Hanshan's restrained cleanliness finally broke out at this moment, the smile on his lips faded a little, and he answered very simply.

Li Hanshan said: "I don't drink."

Uncle smoked a hookah and coughed up a few mouthfuls of phlegm, "Don't drink alcohol? Do you look down on us?"

Zhou Ruyao let out a smile and began to smooth things out: "What are you looking down on?

Li Hanshan did not appreciate it, his black eyes drooped slightly, and the smile had disappeared, "Don't you have the answer?"

The third uncle was immediately angry, and started to pat the table again, this time with such force that even the vegetables on the plate spilled the juice, "What do you mean? Don't think I'm hurting you , I'm here to teach you! You're so ignorant of manners and don't know how to drink, you'll have to suffer if you leave the society in the future!"

After the third uncle finished speaking, he looked at Gu Zhixing, who was always silent and cold: "And you, I wanted to talk about you from the beginning, you are so sullen. Wouldn't it be okay to have a little entertainment?"

The moment his voice fell, Gu Zhixing reached out and patted Zhou Ruyao lightly.

Zhou Ruyao curled his fingers on the table, then looked at Gu Zhixing.

Gu Zhixing shook his head.

Zhou Ruyao frowned slightly and said reluctantly, "Okay."

Gu Zhixing looked at Li Hanshan, who was obviously not worried, and had a headache for a while, as if he was facing two stressed cats and dogs.

She stretched out her hand again, this time holding Li Hanshan's shoulder, and said in a low voice, "I'll come."

Li Hanshan was on the verge of an attack, but he still took a deep breath, threw a "um" and didn't answer.

Gu Zhixing looked at a few middle-aged people who seemed to be complacent, and said, "We are going back to school in the afternoon. There are still classes at school, so we can't drink."

Her straightforward and simple attitude and reason made the men across from them at a loss for a while.

The third uncle moved out of the aggressive method, "What's wrong with class, you sober up when you go back, is it a man who is so rude?"

Gu Zhixing stretched out both hands to embrace Zhou Ruyao and Li Hanshan, and then she dragged them up and raised her chin.

Gu Zhixing: "We are not, we are high school girls."

Zhou Ruyao: "I hate it! Your hands are so cold, I feel so uncomfortable."

Li Hanshan: "...?"

He felt a completely different feeling from the collapse, this feeling is called trance and confusion.

The banquet was still very lively, only Gu Zhixing and the three of them looked very desolate on a separate table in the corner.

Gu Zhixing poured a glass of Coca-Cola and rinsed the plastic cup and bowl.

Zhou Ruyao said: "Li Hanshan, what are you doing with your face on your back? Isn't it good for us to sit here now."

Li Hanshan was silent for a few seconds, "There's no need to waste time with them just now."

Gu Zhixing: "Isn't the matter solved? It's fine."

Li Hanshan: "I mean, why do you want to be so vague, your character is not like someone who can do this kind of thing."

Gu Zhixing: "Because of Lu Mengmeng, I don't want to make her current situation worse, and it's not too late for us to solve these problems later."

Zhou Ruyao: "That's right, it's you. Haven't you always been the most rational person between us? You're so angry so quickly."

Li Hanshan suppressed his emotions and didn't mention his habit of cleanliness. He just looked at his watch and said, "It's over now, I want to go back."

Gu Zhixing said, "You're here to attend someone's wedding, don't say such things."

Zhou Ruyao nodded: "Yes, calm down, don't take the matter of persuading you just now, let's just do as the locals do."

Li Hanshan looked at them, "How do you still want to do as the locals do?"

While he was talking, a plate of dishes was brought to the table in front of him.

Gu Zhixing and Zhou Ruyao looked at each other, then Gu Zhixing pulled out a plastic bag from his pocket, and Zhou Ruyao immediately picked up the dish he just served and poured it into the bag.

Li Hanshan: "...?"

Gu Zhixing: "Come, come, and pour that plate of dessert in."

Zhou Ruyao: "Do you still have a bag? I want to take the snacks away."

Gu Zhixing: "In the other pocket, you remember that the meat is also poured in!"

Li Hanshan: "...????"
