Chapter 34 He is scared

In the evening, the village chief came to the Gu family courtyard with the land deed.

Su Mo was busy with dinner. Gu Ping'an, who was playing in the yard, saw the village chief coming and hurried out to greet him, and asked Gu Xingnian to call his mother.

Gu Xingnian patted her chest and nodded, then ran into the kitchen on her legs. Gu Jinnian stared at her expressionlessly, always feeling that her sister was so stupid.

There is no door to the kitchen, and it's not far away. You can just shout and my mother will hear you.

Gu Xingnian, who didn't know that the second brother was feeling stupid again, was standing on his feet looking at the food in the pot, swallowing frantically.

Su Mo waved the spatula, thinking that Gu Xingnian was hungry, and said with a smile: "The food is ready. Do you want to try some first?"

"No, no, no."

Gu Xingnian came back to her senses, her little head shaking like a rattle.

"The village chief grandpa is here, and my brother asked me to tell my mother."

The village chief is here?

Su Mo paused, thinking that he was here to deliver the land deed.

She quickly took out the vegetables from the pot, poured water into the pot, and pulled out a piece of firewood to reduce the fire.

"Come, mother will carry you out."

Su Mo wiped his hands with a rag, bent down and picked up Gu Xingnian, and walked out.

The village chief is already in the courtyard.

"The land deed has been processed."

He took out a piece of yellow paper from his arms and handed it to Su Mo.

"I have also inquired about the boats to Huzhou Prefecture in the past two days. They are at a quarter of noon tomorrow, at three quarters of Shen hour, at six quarters of the day after tomorrow, at three quarters of You hour, and at a quarter of Hai hour."

After a pause, his tone was tinged with concern.

"I'm afraid it's not safe for you to travel far by yourself. If you don't mind, I can arrange for two people to go with you?"

Su Mo took the land deed and kept in mind the time period mentioned by the village chief. However, the main purpose of this trip was to sell the game stored in the system, so it was not okay for others to follow him.

"No, no, I can do it by myself."

She shook her head and glanced at the three children from the corner of her eye.

Gu Ping'an and Gu Xingnian were squatting and playing, not paying attention to what they were saying. However, Gu Jinnian stood aside and listened without changing his expression.

Su Mo thought for a moment and said, "It's just that once I go out, I won't be able to come back in four or five days.

If possible, would you like to see if you can find someone to help take care of the three children for a few days?

I'll give you money, twenty pence a day."

"Okay, just know it yourself.

When you go out, go to my place and open a road guide. You can use it at the dock in Huzhou Prefecture."

The village chief didn't try to persuade him anymore, nodded and said again:

"As for your three children, that's easy to talk about.

Cihai's family is close and they don't go out to sea. Your three children and his son Qingzhou often play together. I'll just tell him when the time comes."

The matter was settled just like that.

Su Mo held the land deed and felt relieved.

She smiled lightly, thanked her, and invited the village chief to stay for dinner.

But the village chief waved his hand: "No, I'm waiting for you at home."

After hearing this, Su Mo didn't force him and sent the village chief out of the yard.

Gu Jinnian followed her and walked behind her with cold eyes, like a threatened wolf cub, wary, panic... and a little bit at a loss.

"Are you leaving us?"

Gu Jinnian stared at Su Mo, fearing that Su Mo would nod or avoid it.

Life is very comfortable now. He wears new clothes, can eat hot meals every day, can take a comfortable hot bath at night, and sleeps on a bamboo bed made by her own hands.

But every night in the dead of night, darkness enveloped him, and the fear in his heart was infinitely amplified.

He was scared.

They are afraid that the woman in front of them who treats them well will get tired of taking care of them.

Afraid that she would think they were dragging her down and choose to leave.

I am even more afraid that everything in front of me is fake.

Afraid that this is just a beautiful bubble.

When the bubble is exposed to the sun, there is a bang...

When they woke up from the dream, everything turned into nothingness, and the mother who beat and scolded them was still alive.

He still slept on the cold hay and wore old clothes donated by the villagers, which were dirty and smelly.

I was hungry, so I followed my brother and took my sister to the beach to pick up conches to satisfy my hunger...

Su Mo turned around and met Gu Jinnian's eyes. She was startled, then raised her hand and put it on Gu Jinnian's shoulder.

She explained seriously: "I am going on a long trip, but I will be back in five days at most."

Gu Jinnian pursed his lips, "Then I'll go too, don't worry, I won't drag you down!"

I'm not a burden, don't leave us behind.

Gu Jinnian lowered his eyes, covering the sinister look under his eyes, clenching his small hands into fists, and his heart pounding nervously.

If you insist on leaving, then... then I will definitely find a way to make you never leave us...

Su Mo didn't know what Gu Jinnian was thinking. She looked at Gu Jinnian and said seriously: "I know, our Jinnian is very powerful.

But my attention is limited, what if I accidentally lose you?"

Today is different from the past. She cannot touch risky things.

Su Mo also guessed what Gu Jinnian was worried about.

He is too smart and has too many ideas, which also causes him to think too much.

Su Mo's hand on his shoulder moved to his head. After more than twenty days of care, Gu Jinnian's hair was no longer as dry as before.

After rubbing Gu Jinnian's head, Su Mo smiled lightly and said patiently: "Just stay at home and take good care of your sister.

Don't worry, I won't leave you."

Gu Jinnian lowered his head in silence.

Su Mo also waited patiently, waiting for him to figure it out on his own.

Not long after, Gu Jinnian spoke, his tone softened a lot.

"real?"

"Of course, I will always accompany you when you grow up."

Su Mo smiled, stood up, and stretched out his hand in front of Gu Jinnian.

"Okay, let's go in and eat, otherwise the food will get cold."

Gu Jinnian raised his eyes slightly and looked at the hand in front of him.

Because of the habits developed in the last days, Su Mo has a very firm attitude towards medicines and must use them at the tip of the knife.

Except for the time I used it to make a bamboo bed, the skin nourishing cream has always been stored in the dressing table.

As a result, her hands had many small scars and several calluses.

Gu Jinnian put his hand on it, and warmth spread from his palm to the top of his heart.

During dinner, Su Mo told him that he was going on a long trip.

Gu Ping'an reacted greatly. He couldn't hold the bowl, and it fell to the ground and broke into pieces. The steaming food was scattered on the ground, stained with dust.

"Mom, don't you want peace?"

Gu Pingan is different from Gu Jinnian.

He has the responsibility as an older brother. When the original person hated the three children, he took on the responsibility of taking care of his younger siblings like a little adult.

But he is not so thoughtful, and he is not as smart as Gu Jinnian. He is just an ordinary child, longing for his mother's love in his heart.

At this moment, I heard that Su Mo was going away, and I subconsciously thought that my mother was going to abandon them.

Gu Xingnian on the side also put down the bowl in confusion and reached out to hold Su Mo's clothes. She didn't say anything, she just shouted weakly.

"mother……"

Don't abandon Xing Nian.

"What are you thinking about? Mom will be back after a few days."

The two little people looked at him pitifully. Su Mo sighed helplessly and raised his hand to rub Gu Xingnian's head.

"Mom will never leave you alone, never."
