Destiny Koi, I'm cheating after rebirth

Seeing her brother eating with gusto, Gu Qingzhi ate even more happily.

The food my mother cooks is still as delicious as ever.

However, Gu Qingzhi's appetite was so huge that she could not eat any more after a big steamed bun and some dishes. Gu Yan confirmed again and again, knowing that she really could not eat any more, and quickly finished up the remaining food.

Gu Qingzhi held her chin and said, "My brother looks so handsome when he eats."

Watching her brother finish the remaining food quickly and elegantly, sometimes she always felt that her brother's temperament was mysteriously elegant and it was a pleasure to watch him eat.

Gu Yan packed up the lunch box and realized that his sister had been looking at him. He picked up the lunch box and rubbed her head, "Qingqing, what's wrong?"

"Ah, no." Gu Qingzhi grinned in embarrassment. She was stunned by her brother. "Brother, are you going to wash the lunch box?" She saw her brother carrying the lunch box.

"Well, do you want to wait for me here or go back to the grapevines and rest?"

"Let me go with my brother." It was boring to wait here. She had picked a lot of wild grapes in the morning.

Gu Yan thought about it and it was a good idea. He was worried about Qingqing being alone here, so he nodded and took her hand, "Let's go together."

He took Gu Qingzhi and turned a corner and took another road.

Gu Qingzhi was puzzled, but she didn't say anything and followed silently.

Suddenly, Gu Yan stopped under a pine tree, which looked like it had not been planted for long.

"I planted this four years ago." As he said this, he put down the food box, took off his backpack and put it aside, then took out a small shovel and started digging under the tree.

Four years ago? That time sounds familiar.

Gu Qingzhi thought again and again. A lot of things happened four years ago. She fell into the water and fell seriously ill that year, her uncle died that year, and her aunt disappeared that year.

Her eyes gradually darkened.

Soon, Gu Yan dug out a box. He wiped the dirt off the box, opened the lid, and carefully took out a jade pendant from it.

Jade?

Gu Qingzhi leaned over, took a closer look, and was shocked.

Gu Yan rubbed it for a while with nostalgia, looked at Gu Qingzhi carefully, and then handed the jade pendant to her.

Gu Qingzhi took it in a daze. It felt warm to her hand. She looked at it carefully. The whole piece of jade was crystal clear. There was a word "Nan" engraved on the lower right corner of the jade pendant. Although she didn't know much about jade, this piece of jade looked very expensive. Most importantly, she was familiar with this piece of jade.

She sighed inwardly, this was the jade pendant that she had lived with for more than ten years, how could she not be familiar with it?

Seeing Gu Qingzhi carefully examining the jade pendant in her hand for a long time without saying anything, Gu Yan misunderstood, "Qingqing likes it? If you like it, how about giving it to Qingqing?"

Gu Qingzhi raised her head blankly,?

No, no, no, that's not what she meant! She just suddenly remembered the days when she lived in the jade pendant in her previous life.

She waved her hands repeatedly and handed the jade pendant back to Gu Yan.

This jade is obviously very expensive. Although she agreed to help her brother manage the money, it was because they earned the money together and she felt at ease doing so. But why did she take her brother's jade pendant?

Moreover, she felt that her brother seemed to have deep feelings for this jade pendant.

Gu Yan said in a sad tone, "I have been wearing this jade pendant since I was a child. After my grandfather passed away a few years ago, I buried it."

After his father passed away, his life became difficult. He once wanted to pawn the jade pendant, but his father-in-law refused and insisted that the jade should be kept as long as he was alive. Later, when his father-in-law passed away, he decided to turn a blind eye to the matter and simply buried the jade pendant under the tree.

He had passed by here countless times before and had never thought of taking out the jade pendant, but today he dug it out for some unknown reason.

Seeing that his sister seemed to like it very much, he had already promised Mr. Weng, and since the jade pendant could not be sold anyway, there was no use for him to keep it, so he might as well give it to his sister, which would also make her happy.

So there is a reason for this. No wonder I never saw my brother wearing it. I thought he bought it later. It turns out he has been wearing it since he was a child.

She always felt that it was a bit weird. Even though she didn't know much about jade, this jade pendant looked very good with a lot of water content. The pattern on it was natural and it was probably worth a lot of money. Could their family afford such good jade?

This thought flashed through her mind because Gu Yan had already stuffed the jade pendant into her hand, turned around and picked up the shovel to restore the excavated soil.

Gu Qingzhi thought about this.

This jade looked very valuable. Now that she knew about it, she couldn't keep it here any longer, so as to avoid sleepless nights. She took it back and found a place to keep it safely, and would give it to her brother when he needed it in the future.

Well, let’s do it. She took out her handkerchief, carefully wrapped the jade pendant and put it in her pocket.

***

Gu Yan filled the soil back in no time, and after cleaning up, he pulled Gu Qingzhi towards the stream.

Soon, she saw a small stream with clear water flowing.

Gu Qingzhi had never been to this place before. It seemed different from the stream she visited last time. It looked very fresh. She looked around with great interest.

Gu Yan looked at his sister and realized that she was still a child. She was so happy just to see a stream. Unconsciously, a smile appeared on his face that he didn't even notice.

"Just wash here," Gu Yan stopped at a more open place.

Gu Qingzhi looked at it curiously, "Brother, where is this place going forward?"

Gu Yan squatted down, opened the food box and started to wash it.

He opened the lunch box, took out the compartment and cleaned it, and replied slowly, "There is a big lake ahead."

"This small stream is formed by the confluence of clear springs on the mountain. Multiple clear springs converge to form a large lake in front."

"Big lake, are there fish there?" Gu Qingzhi's eyes lit up.

There was a big river in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. The water in the river is quite deep now. Every year before the New Year, the villagers would break the ice and catch fish. The scene was very spectacular.

"Qingqing, no one has ever gone down into that lake, and we don't know how deep it is. Remember not to go there unless necessary." Seeing Gu Qingzhi asking curiously, Gu Yan gave serious instructions, fearing that his sister would run over there to play in the water out of curiosity.

Gu Qingzhi nodded obediently. If her brother said no, then she didn’t want it. She was a good and obedient child.

Watching her brother washing the lunch box carefully, Gu Qingzhi wandered around bored. She was playing with stones out of boredom and accidentally kicked the stone far away, and a sound was heard in the bushes.

She tilted her ear to listen. What was that sound? There was a flutter behind the bushes, and then it was quiet again.

She hesitantly looked at her brother who was still washing the lunch box by the stream. It was okay, he was just a little ahead and not far away. Thinking of this, she followed the noise and walked over.

She had a bold guess about what was fluttering behind the grass, and she needed to verify it.
