Small wood

He slept soundly, under his cheeks was a rough cloth that smelled of bitter medicine, his ears were filled with steady and powerful heartbeats, and his body was gently encircled by Gu Lin's arms.He has been unable to sleep well for a while, worried about his father, his mother, and Gu Lin, he felt that he must have had such a happy life before, so he would have to worry about it every day in the days to come.

Gu Lin was still asleep when he woke up, their cheeks were only half a palm away from each other, and the light breath kept blowing on his head, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong, instead he felt at ease in his heart.

Mr. Gu probably didn't sleep well, Amu didn't wake him up after thinking about it, and continued to lie back on his chest carefully, but Gu Lin's heartbeat in his ears somehow amplified, shaking him so much that he felt strange all over his body. Strangely, his cheeks seemed to burn a lot. He raised his hand to touch his face with cold fingers, but he touched his smiling mouth.

He didn't know he had a smile on his face.

Amu poked his face, wondering why he was laughing.

He moved a little bigger, and the hand behind his back slipped down.

Amu hurriedly raised his head and saw that Gu Lin had opened his eyes, maybe he had just woken up, there was some bright water color in his usually clear eyes, and the morning light fell inside, as clear as two gemstones.

Amu stared at him for a while, his heart was beating so fast, and the two of them were so close, Gu Lin was afraid that he heard it, so he lowered his eyes and glanced at his chest.

Amu jumped up so fast that he didn't dare to look at Gu Lin. He scratched his messy hair and looked towards the entrance of the cave with a blushing face. He was surprised when he saw that the snow that had been falling for several days had stopped. Standing up and running to the entrance of the cave, I stretched out my hand and put it outside the cave. My fingertips were actually warm, and the wind was gone. Looking around, the orange-gold sun was shining on the snow, and it was even more beautiful than Chunri. warm.

Amu jumped happily: "Young Master Gu, look! The snow has stopped! The snow has stopped!"

Gu Lin had already stood behind him, seeing that he was dancing happily, he thanked him.

Amu packed up the fire folders, put the dried animal skins on Gu Lin, and squinted his eyes with joy: "The snow will stop, and there will be no wind, so the road will be much easier. Let's go west for two weeks." It's time to see the town at this hour, although I haven't been there, but I have seen it from a distance, and Dad often comes back there to exchange some fine grains."

Speaking of Dad, the joy in Amu's eyes disappeared.

Gu Linben listened carefully, seeing that he stopped talking, he gently took his hand and walked out of the cave.

Amu felt the temperature in his hands, and he didn't think about anything all of a sudden, he just frowned and asked, "Mr. Gu, are you cold? Why are your hands so cold?"

Gu Lin looked down at him, his eyes were warm, but he smiled and shook his head.

Amu froze, staring at the corner of Gu Lin's mouth for a long time, his eyes were wide open, and after walking a hundred steps, he suddenly came back to his senses, his face flushed red: "I said Mr. Gu can laugh, You ignored me yesterday, laughing like this... laughing..."

What a nice smile.

Amu didn't continue, but blushed herself.

The first snow in winter is probably over. In fact, they are located in the south. It is rare to see such a heavy snow. He heard from his father that the snow in the Northland is several months in a row. , Usually when the snow stops, the winter also stops. The snow is taller than a five or six-year-old child, and the new trees can only emerge from the snowdrifts.Fortunately, the snow did not continue to fall, otherwise he and Mr. Gu would have been trapped in the cave.

Amu touched the small pouch at his waist, where there was a pouch with a string of copper coins and a few pieces of silver. Aunt Tong said that no matter what you do when you come to the city, you need money. She gave Amu this pouch, And told Amu that this is the most important thing, and Amu must keep it close to him. When there is no place to live at night, or if there is less food, he can buy it with the money in his pocket.Amu was grateful, and put the purse in the pouch next to his waist.

The package was gone, and there was no food on the way. They kept on driving in the snow. Fortunately, the snow hadn't melted and there was no wind on the road, so they arrived at the gate of the city in the afternoon.

"What are you doing?" The officers and soldiers stopped the two of them.

Amu didn't know that there were officers and soldiers at the gate of the city, so he was a little dazed, but immediately said: "We are here to stay in the hotel, the snow blocks the way, and we have nowhere to go." Although he has never been out of the mountains, Dad often goes out, back and forth Amu remembered all the experiences he told, so he gradually calmed down.

The officers and soldiers glanced at them, and patted them with the hilt of their swords, as if to see if they had hidden anything. After a while, he gave way: "Go in, the days in winter are short, find a hotel early .”

Amu saw that the officer froze when he patted Gu Lin's clothes with the hilt of his sword. He thought of the portrait and the reward on the portrait. He was afraid that there were some in this city, but the officers and soldiers didn't pay attention to their faces. He was also very idle, he breathed a sigh of relief, thanked him hurriedly and took Gu Lin into the city.

Although I heard Dad say a lot about the city, the real appearance is much more real than the narration. Even in winter, there are still crowds of people, small stalls are lined up on both sides of the street, and there are many tall wooden buildings with two floors. Maybe it's winter, there are many hot food stalls, and the rising white mist is like layers of clouds, just looking at it is warm.

Amu hadn't eaten for two days, and now he couldn't move his feet when he saw the delicate food.

"Mr. Gu, I'm going to buy two steamed buns. It's warm enough to warm my body." Amu swallowed the pressure that kept coming up, and looked at the few white and tender big steamed buns displayed in the bamboo basket with bright eyes.

"Master, how do you sell this steamed stuffed bun?" Amu asked, raising his hand to take it, but the originally kind uncle said in a vicious voice, "Your hands are so dirty, how can I sell my steamed stuffed stuffed bun?"

Amu hurriedly put his hands behind his back, blushing and standing at a loss.

The uncle looked him up and down, and smiled cheerfully: "He came from a foreign country." He took a piece of oil paper, and said to Amu, "One for two patterns, how many do you want?"

Amu stared at the big white bun and said, "Two, I want two." As he spoke, he went to take out the purse in his pocket. He opened the purse, counted four copper coins, and was about to hand it to the uncle, but didn't want to stop halfway. A figure leaned out and bumped into him.

He had been hungry for two days and had no strength, so he fell towards the uncle's steamed stuffed bun stall without standing still, and was supported by Gu Lin.

The stall shook, and a drawer of steamed buns rolled to the ground with a rumble.
