Chapter 17 The Oath
Li Yu found a tree branch, jumped on it and lay down, leaning on his arms and looking at the sky.
Gu Lei took a cloak and covered her, "Please cool down at night and don't catch a cold."
"It's not cold, Leizi, do you think we still have a chance to recover their bones?"
This incident has always been a thorn in Li Yu's heart.
"I have no idea."
Gu Lei was silent for a moment, his lips trembling, and he answered with great difficulty.
"Look at me, I shouldn't ask. Don't ask your elders. You'll be sad again."
"Um."
"Yu'er, do we still have a chance to return to the capital?"
Gu Lei leaned against the branch of a tree and talked to her, looking at the starry sky with unspeakable pain in his heart.
The moon is very round tonight, and the bright moonlight reflects in the woods. The mottled light and shadow make the atmosphere a bit lonely.
"Yes, I must go back, rebuild the Duke's Mansion, and retrieve the bones of my Li family relatives. Even if I spend my whole life, I will never give up."
Li Yu spoke word by word, looking at the moonlight with bright eyes and swearing, her eyes firm and brave, with determination to move forward.
Gu Lei looked at the gorgeous and beautiful Li Yu, his eyes burst out with a fascinating brilliance, like the stars in the night, shining brightly.
I am deeply impressed by her perseverance and bravery. She has a tenacity that cannot be defeated, and she would rather break than bend, which is admirable.
I still remember that when she was a child, she insisted on learning martial arts, and Uncle Li coaxed her into playing. He deliberately increased the amount of training and asked her to quit before the difficulties. She persisted, gritted her teeth and said nothing, never complained, and never gave up.
tear.
Every time she comes back with bruises all over her body after training, she is alive and kicking again the next day, cheerful and confident, making everyone laugh. She always has endless energy, is optimistic and positive, and it is very happy to be with her. No matter how hard or difficult it is, she cannot be troubled.
Gu Lei's eyebrows were curved, and he stretched out his hand to gently touch her delicate face, "Aren't you afraid of failure?"
"Don't be afraid. You will know success or failure only if you do it. If you don't do it, you will never succeed."
Li Yu's eyes are tenacious and unyielding. After this family change, she has grown a lot.
"Okay, then I will rebuild our home with you."
Gu Lei stretched out his hand, with a smile on his face. At this moment, it seemed that hope and vitality were back. He walked out of sadness, confusion and pain, and continued to walk with goals and hope.
He couldn't let his loved ones who loved him rest in peace underground, and he couldn't live up to the chance of survival that they had bought for him with their lives.
Li Yu stretched out her hand and gave him a high-five with a clear voice.
"Yu'er, it's great to have you here."
Gu Lei felt this. His beautiful peach blossom eyes were shining with scorching light, glowing in the night. His eyes were warm and focused.
He once collapsed to the point where he couldn't get up. He didn't know if he could support the Gu family. It was her who stubbornly pulled him and encouraged him to get where he is today. Without her forceful pull, he might not have been able to recover so quickly, and he might have sunk deeper into decadence.
.
"That's right, my father said that I am a little lucky star, my only one, so cherish it."
Li Yu shook his head and teased.
"Yes, you are my little lucky star. In my eyes, you are the best."
Gu Lei looked at her, full of bright and dazzling starlight, and his peach blossom eyes were filled with stars.
Li Yu glanced at him proudly and pushed him, "Go to bed quickly."
"good."
Gu Lei reached out and hooked her chin, and Li Yu hit him angrily.
He laughed and went to bed happily.
Lin Yue lay on the haystack, crying silently with her eyes closed, covering her mouth tightly, not daring to let anyone hear her cry.
Why, what kind of poison did Li Yu give him? No matter what she did, she could make her cousin happy. Even though she was bullying others, she still made her cousin laugh.
Gu Lei added some firewood to the fire and then lay down to rest.
Lying there and looking in the direction of Li Yu, the corners of his mouth were raised unconsciously, and he smiled so handsomely that his heart felt as if feathers were gently brushing against him, making it tickle, much like the halva he had eaten.
Yes, tomorrow I'll go to the city to inquire about news and buy some crispy candies for Yu'er, she likes to eat these.
What a silly girl. She bought candied haws for Brother Xing and Brother Xu without even knowing what to use for her own girl.
I only thought about others and didn’t think much about myself.
Buy some more fruits that she likes to eat. Thinking of this, she curled up her lips happily and went to sleep.
I got up early the next morning. The birds in the forest got up earlier than people.
Gu Lei stood up and patted Li Yu, "Go and rest."
"Okay, are you going to the city today?"
"If you want to go, I can go alone. You don't need so many people. Whatever you want to bring, I will bring it back to you."
"I don't need to buy anything, I have everything. I'll give you the money to buy something for your mother to coax."
Li Yu took the purse and handed it to him. It was all broken silver, which he went to exchange yesterday.
"I have money."
Gu Lei didn't answer.
"I'll go buy some meat and come back. My aunt said she wants to make some lard. If you don't buy any, people will doubt you. Why are you being polite to me? Don't touch my aunt's jewelry. That's all I miss you."
Li Yu knows everything.
Gu Lei silently took the purse and muttered, "I want to find a way to make money, which makes me look like a pretty boy."
He pouted at her, which seemed a bit coquettish.
Li Yu pinched his cheek, "Not bad, the skin is tender and the meat is tender, you can sell it at a good price..."
"Go ahead and sell it to you. You are not a good customer. You look like a shady woman at first sight."
Gu Lei pouted cooperatively, like a willful and coquettish big boy.
"No, little brother, I'm a fool and have a lot of money. Come with me and enjoy the hot and spicy food."
"real?"
Gu Lei suppressed a smile and looked at her sideways. His peach blossom eyes were full of affection and alluring, as if they could suck your soul.
"real."
Li Yu was embarrassed by his stare, her face felt a little hot, and she looked away uncomfortably.
"Stop making trouble, get out of here and get back before sunset."
Wang handed the bamboo basket to Gu Lei.
"There is food and water inside, so don't starve yourself."
"Thank you, aunt, I'm leaving."
He turned around and shouted to Li Yu again, winking at her, "You black-hearted woman, I'm leaving."
"Get out of here."
Li Yu couldn't help but laugh.
Gu Lei went to the city alone to inquire about the news. Yesterday, everyone discussed it and felt that something was wrong, and more clues needed to be obtained.
Li Yu's job today was to put all the hidden weapons in the carriage to give the carriage some added defense.
The aunts also want to make some cooked food for easy consumption on the road.
Li Yu took the bucket to the river and filled it with space water. This water has certain health-preserving effects and ensures that the water source is clean and less likely to get sick.
When I come back, I will help with the grinding. I have to grind the corn and other things into flour and take it away for convenience when eating.
"Grandpa, I'm going to see if there are any wild fruits to eat over there."
"Okay, bring the quiver and don't go too far."
"knew."
Li Yu put the bamboo basket and quiver on his back, picked up the knife and cloth bag, and left. He went around to see if there were any wild fruits to eat, and whether they were delicious or not. They were always fruits.
I also carried two large steamed buns in my pocket. This time I learned how to prepare cooked food anytime and anywhere so that I can eat it at any time without irritating my stomach.
Along the way, I saw herbs and wild vegetables. I picked some and took them back. I saw a wild fruit tree in front of me.
"Hey, Maotao, good stuff."
Li Yu was so happy that she quickly ran over and circled the tree to see if there were any snakes. Then she clapped her hands and climbed up, climbing up the tree in a few moments.
He took out two more cloth bags from the bag on his waist, unfolded them and hung them on his waist, and began to pack peaches. If he couldn't finish them, he went back to make wine.
She knows how to make wine. She learned it from her mother, and the wine they make is delicious.
Langya Wang's wine-making skills are very famous, and this is one of his family's most profitable industries.
