Rebirth Strategy: Please let me go

Because of the thirty cents thing, Tan Santou was so angry that he couldn't sleep on his bed. Gu Qingchen didn't care. After dinner, Ding Ling was tinkering with something in the courtyard.

An Jinshu was sitting under the eaves, wearing the big cloak that Gu Qingchen found for her from somewhere, feeling the hot heat of the stove under her feet, and sat quietly with him with her face flushed.

The sounds of Niu Dan and other children in the village playing around could be heard from time to time at the entrance of the courtyard, and An Jinshu, who was surrounded by warmth, began to feel sleepy little by little.

In a daze, she seemed to see Sheng Huaian standing at the door of the courtyard calling her Yanyan, and she also saw her brother's anxious face. But the next moment she was woken up, her eyes were still dark, and Gu Qingchen's cold voice was like a ruthless hand. Pulled her from heaven to earth.

"Brother? What's wrong?"

An Jinshu, who was sleeping, didn't know that she almost hit the ground when she fell asleep. If it weren't for Gu Qingchen's quick eyesight and quick hands, she would have suffered new injuries from old wounds that hadn't healed yet.

"I'm sleepy, go sleep in the house." Gu Qingchen said coldly.

An Jinshu rubbed his eyes and shook his head: "I'm not sleepy, I want to stay here with my brother."

It sounded nice, but in fact it was relatively warm outside with the sun shining, and the room was too cold. Besides, it wouldn't be good for her to go in if the old gentleman was still sleeping in the room.

Gu Qingchen didn't seem to notice her concerns. He rarely said anything so as not to argue with her. He seemed to be busy. After talking to her, he went to the yard to clean up.

An Jinshu couldn't help but asked: "Brother, what are you doing?"

But no one answered her. She curled her lips and took a deep breath. It was so boring. It would be great if she could go to the market tomorrow.

Thinking of this, she shouted into the yard again: "Brother, Mrs. Chen said there is a market in town tomorrow, will you go?"

The movement in the yard paused for a moment, then started again.

The young man's cold and deep voice also came: "Sister, do you want to go?"

"I think it's too boring here. It's said that there are people playing horse racing at the markets in villages and towns. I want to see it." She said excitedly.

As a result, Gu Qingchen poured cold water on her the next moment: "What do you think, sister?"

"......"

Seeing that the person was unmoved, An Jinshu felt a drum in his heart and plucked up the courage to say something without confidence: "Then if brother doesn't go with me, I will go with Mrs. Chen."

A gust of cold wind blew by, but the other party ignored her at all.

That’s all, if you don’t want to go, just don’t go, whatever.

"There are so many people in the town, so it's not convenient for Sister and I to show off everywhere now." After about half a stick of incense, the other party suddenly said this.

An Jinshu chuckled and took it as acquiescence.

Gu Qingchen didn't know what she was busy with. She worked all day long. Except for giving her a sweet potato at noon, she could only hear the movement in the courtyard but rarely heard what he said during the rest of the time.

It wasn't until Mrs. Chen came back from the fields in the evening after doing farm work and was surprised to see Tan Santou's brand new yard that An Jinshu realized that Gu Qingchen had been busy all day laying stone bricks in the mud yard.

She groped forward, and sure enough, the feeling of her feet had completely changed. She didn't know where she found the stones to pave the yard so smoothly. In some places, she would feel like she was stepping on the gravel road. With a crashing sound, An Jinshu was surprised and at the same time frightened by the other party's terrifying execution ability.

Yesterday evening, he was still dealing with the matter of the old gentleman being pushed around, and he hadn't seen him go out today, so he could only go find these stones while everyone was sleeping after finishing the matter last night, and smash the stones again today. Crumbs were spread into the yard.

An Jinshu will never forget that the other party also cleaned her shoes and cooked for her in the morning!

At this moment, An Jinshu couldn't use words to describe her feelings towards Gu Qingchen, only two words: terrible.

Won't he be tired? Still don’t need a break? But he is also a human being, how can he have the energy to do these things without sleep?

With this question in mind, An Jinshu tentatively called out into the silent darkness in the dead of night: "Brother."

Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, his voice came out from the darkness: "Yes."

There was no confusion when she suddenly woke up, nor was there the haziness when she woke up, but there was a terrifying calmness and coldness, as if he had been watching her with his eyes open, waiting for her to speak before he could respond.

A chill ran down An Jinshu's back. This chill was not caused by the cold outside, but spread from the bottom of his heart and then swept through his whole body.

"I'm thirsty."

There was the sound of clothes being rubbed in the darkness, followed by the sound of ceramics clashing, and then the sound of pouring water. Then An Jinshu felt something being handed to her. She reached out to take it, half-propped her body and took a slow sip.

When the warm water flowed down the tip of his tongue and across his throat, An Jinshu's hand shook violently, and the cup in his hand became unstable and fell off.

As soon as the cup left her hand, An Jinshu subconsciously tried to catch it, but someone was faster than her. When the other person caught the cup steadily, An Jinshu's hand also touched the other person's hand steadily.

It's just that the other person's hand is steady and warm, but hers is trembling and cold.

An Jinshu was frightened and retracted his hand the moment he touched it, but Gu Qingchen still felt it.

"Sister, is it cold?"

"No." An Jinshu shook his head, trying to look as natural as possible.

Someone pulled the quilt up: "But sister is shaking."

"The wound hurt a little bit just now. It will be fine now." An Jinshu replied without blushing and without a beating heart.

Gu Qingchen smiled and did not ask further questions. He only asked one last question: "Sister, do you still want to drink water?"

An Jinshu smiled back: "I won't drink anymore. I'm going to sleep. Brother, let's go to bed early too."

After saying that, An Jinshu retreated into bed, turned over and fell asleep with her back facing Gu Qingchen.

But in the dark night, the sound of the young man rubbing the porcelain cup never stopped, and An Jinshu's trembling hands followed the sound that continued all night without fading.

After finally enduring it until Yinshi, An Jinshu finally couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep, but she felt that as soon as she closed her eyes, someone called her the next moment.

"Who..." She replied in a daze, hoping that the voice that had been buzzing in her ears would disappear quickly.

As expected, the other party was not talking. An Jinshu only felt as if he was being held lightly by a pair of big hands and placed on a small boat, rocking and rocking, very comfortable.

Amidst this shaking, An Jinshu fell into a deep sleep again, until she heard chaotic shouts ringing in her ears.

"Rely on your parents at home, rely on friends outside, stay in a noble place and look at strangers. Those who are extraordinarily rich will support you with money, and those who have no money will support you..."

"It's fat! It's fat!"

"White pear jelly! One penny each! White pear jelly!"

There were shouts and shouts, the sound of carriages running over them, the cries of children, and the braying of cows and horses.

The smells all around are also strange, including the smell of livestock, the faint aroma of oil cakes, the mist of morning dew, and a faint but ubiquitous cool fragrance.

"If sister is asleep, she will fall asleep while going to the market."

An Jinshu: "?!"
