Small wood

The force of the lake was stronger than expected. They were washed away somewhere. In front of them was an invisible lake, the emerald green water shimmering in the sun.

Waist-length grass grows around the lake. When the wind blows, it sways gently, blowing a faint fragrance of grass and trees.

Amu lost his shoes, and could clearly feel the soft ground and slightly hard stones under his feet.

Gu Lin led him, and as he walked slowly, the long grass beside him kept touching his arm, itching.

He didn't walk side by side with Gu Lin, but behind him, he could see Gu Lin's black hair floating with a lustrous luster against the dark green of the long grass, which was extremely beautiful.

It seems that since he escaped from danger, his face has been hot all the time. He didn't need to reach out and touch it to know it, because the hot air rushed straight into his eyes, making him squint from the heat, and the light left from the eyelashes outward.His forehead was also cool, and the little bun on his head loosened at some point, and the messy hair was always floating around, making him itchy.

They were rushed to an unknown place, maybe there would be no food, maybe there would be wild animals, maybe there would be no shelter, but Amu didn't feel panicked at all, just holding Gu Lin's hand, squeezing it from time to time .

Maybe it was because of the heavy pinching, which made Gu Lin, who had been walking, to stop and turned to look at him.

Amu also stopped, scratching his head in embarrassment, and caught his hair flying into a ball.

Gu Lin just looked at him, and suddenly stretched out his hand, smoothed his hair, spread it out with his fingers, and then put back the boy's bun, a small ball, like a little bookboy, but he was doing these movements At that time, the right hand was not very agile, but barely moved.

Amu hurriedly grabbed the hand, turned it left and right, and was extremely nervous: "Young Master, what's wrong with your hand?" He couldn't see anything, but he was afraid of hurting Gu Lin, so he asked.

Gu Lin put down his hands and said softly, "It's okay."

Amu frowned, not very happy, he followed Gu Lin for a long time, and didn't learn anything, but he was very stubborn, and he didn't move, staring at Gu Lin, and wouldn't leave if he didn't speak look like.

Gu Lin didn't speak, but seeing the faint sweat on Amu's forehead, he reached out his hand helplessly, touched Amu's bulging red cheek, and explained: "It's just a dislocation, and it's healed."

Amu knows what it feels like to be dislocated. He dislocated his arm when he climbed a tree when he was a child. When his father set his bone position, he howled so much that the whole mountain forest could almost hear him. He was not allowed to move for more than ten days. Wrapped, said not to use force, or the bones are still easy to dislocate.

Amu hastily tore off half of his sleeve, carefully tied Gu Lin's wrist, and grabbed his forearm: "My lord, don't move your right hand."

Gu Lin nodded slightly, but didn't care.

Looking at Gu Lin's calm appearance, Amu still felt angry, but when he saw Gu Lin's eyes that were almost faded to warm brown under the sun, he lost all anger. He knew that saving him from that whirlpool would not be easy Maybe it was the dislocated joint at that time, but he didn't want to ask any more, who saved whose life, who owed whose life, these are not important anymore, he and Gu Lin couldn't tell for a long time.When Amu woke up from the lake and was held by Gu Lin, he secretly vowed to follow Gu Lin well, taking care of him like Gu Linchu did when he first came to the wooden house.

Gradually, the rain began to float in the sky, cottony, and when it fell on the body, it was too small to be absorbed by the clothes. Yuxue condensed into round water droplets cutely, and rolled down until it couldn't hold it anymore, seeping Get in your clothes.

The soil under his feet was softer, damp and sticky. Amu felt that the soil wrapped his feet, which was very comfortable. Anyway, in the mountains and forests, he also likes to climb trees barefoot, which is nothing to him. .

Gu Lin stopped and looked down at his feet.

Amu felt that Gu Lin's gaze was too strange, so he also looked down.

My feet were already black, covered with brown soil from the bottom of the ankle, and the originally thin toes were rounded by the soil, like ten glutinous rice balls of different sizes, which looked very dirty .He hurriedly stretched his legs back, but there was nothing to stop him.Perhaps out of embarrassment, the toes curled up and shrunk to a small size.

Gu Lin suddenly squatted down and touched his feet.

"Master?" Amu shrank back.

Gu Lin didn't speak, but just wiped Amu's feet with his robe.

The soft touch and the feeling of the mud being wiped off made Amu's heart pounding, and he stood there at a loss, staring at Gu Lin's cotton-white robe stained with black mud.

Gu Lin turned his back again, and with a little force, he carried Amu on his back.

Only then did Amu come to his senses, but when he thought about it, he was afraid of hurting Gu Lin's hand, so he grabbed Gu Lin's shoulder tightly, hooked his feet forward, and grabbed Gu Lin's back like a burden, so there was no need to worry about it. Lin held it in his hand.

"My lord, let me down?" Amu said.

What answered him was Gu Lin's steady walking steps.

Amu looked forward, and found that the road ahead was no longer a dirt road, and was covered with stones everywhere, because the long grass growing from the gaps between the stones covered most of the road surface, no wonder he hadn't seen it before.If Gu Lin hadn't carried him on his back, I'm afraid the soles of his feet would have suffered after walking on this road for a long time.

Amu sighed softly, and exerted strength on Gu Lin's arms. He rested his head on Gu Lin's neck, and knocked his chin on his shoulder. fight.

The fine cotton rain is warm in summer. When it fell on Gu Lin's neck and wet his hair, Amu could smell the smell of Gu Lin's hair and skin. It was fresh and soft, and he couldn't help thinking about it. Get a little closer.

"Master..." Amu called out softly, the sound coming out of his throat was not much louder than that of a kitten, mixed with raindrops, it had a wet texture, he rubbed Gu Lin's shoulder, and said softly: "I'm fifteen Woolen cloth."

Gu Lin gave a low acknowledgment.

"I will grow up, and I will grow taller and stronger." Amu continued: "At that time, I will be able to carry my son on my back."

Gu Lin suddenly stopped, and after a moment of silence, he said softly, "You have recited it."

Amu was taken aback for a moment, frowning and thinking for a long time, then he let out an ah as if he had suddenly realized.

In the tunnel under the wooden house, in order to avoid being chased by those thieves, he turned his back on Gu Lin, but he was too short compared to Gu Lin, and Gu Lin's injured leg was dragged on the ground. Blocked the back arrow for him but remained silent.

Thinking of this, Amu curled his lips and muttered in a low voice: "What kind of back is this?"

After walking for a long time, I saw nothing except the endless gravel road and desolate long grass, no animals or flowers, no trees and shrubs to live in, not even birds in the sky.

Amu was so sleepy that he yawned. He shook his head vigorously, climbed onto Gu Lin's back, and said, "My lord, let me down, or I'll fall asleep."

Gu Lin just continued walking, held his buttocks, and said in a low voice, "Go to sleep."

Amu is not willing, if he fell asleep, the whole body would fall, and Gu Lin's hands would definitely not be able to bear it.He rubbed his eyes, suddenly, he seemed to see a small triangle on the right, like the roof of a house, because the color was too close to the stone, it was almost hard to find.He hurriedly pointed over there: "Young Master, look, is there a room there?"

Gu Lin looked at it and nodded.

Amu hurriedly twisted his buttocks, trying to get off Gu Lin's body: "My lord, get off me quickly, you'll be fine if you walk this distance!"

Gu Linyi embraced him and let him go.

Amu rushed out like a rabbit, and ran for dozens of meters until he was sure that the triangle was indeed the roof of a house, then he hurriedly ran back to Lin, his little face flushed with excitement: "Master, it's really a house! Let's go there quickly!"

He took Gu Lin's hand and pulled him to run straight.

But when he ran to the front of the house, Amu's face collapsed again, very disappointed.

The house is made of stone. I don't know how long it has been here. The cracks in the stone are full of weeds. The window is just a big empty hole, and the window frame has long since rotted away.

Even the door is the same, it can only be vaguely seen to be a wooden door, and there are some rotten wood residues where it connects to the stone.

Amu pushed the door open and went in, almost coughing due to the dust inside, he hastily pushed Gu Lin out, pulled grass outside and made dust removal tools and swept wildly.

The room is very simple, with a bed made of stone, a table made of stone, and many large and small tanks, which should be used to store water, but now they are all covered with dust, and the bottom of the tank is also a thick layer.

Amu cleaned up the house a bit, and then dragged Gu Lin in: "It seems that no one has lived in it for a long time, son, let's rest here."

Gu Lin nodded.

Amu continued to look at the house, rummaged through it again, and found a bucket for hanging water. The rope on the bucket was made of something, and it was not rotten at all, and it still looked very strong.Amu thought for a while, and walked around to the back of the house, and there was indeed a well.He looked down and saw that the well hadn't dried up, but was in a very deep place.

He hoisted a bucket up, the water was clear, cool, and transparent, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with it.He took a sip first, then smacked his mouth twice, it was normal, it seemed nothing unusual.

Carrying the bucket into the house, he found that Gu Lin had cleaned a small jar and was waiting for him.Amu hurriedly poured water in, and after a few back and forth, a water tank was filled.

He lay down beside the water tank, looked at the clear water, swallowed, and sneaked a sip. The clear water moistened his throat, making him extremely comfortable.

As long as there is no stomach discomfort at night, the young master can also drink. Thinking of this, Amu glanced at Gu Lin, but he happened to meet Gu Lin's eyes.

Amu was stunned, and rushed to the water tank: "My lord, let's drink at night."

Gu Lin didn't speak, what a smart person he is, he could see Amu's intentions clearly, so he stretched out his hand, scooped up a palm of water and drank it.

Amu looked at Gu Lin, really didn't know what to say, so he simply ignored it, lay down on the bed, and rolled around in a circle.
