I feel so good after dressing up as a peasant girl

Bai Jingzhou counted the three days secretly on his fingers. When the day came when he and Gu Wenxuan had an appointment to go to the town together, anyone could see how happy Bai Jingzhou was.

His mother secretly felt that "it is not right to keep a son when he grows up", but she was very honest and gave her son a lot of change.

Bai Jingxin and Bai Jingheng, who also wanted to go to the town to play, were ruthlessly rejected by their mother. Seeing that the golden beans were about to fall, Bai Jingzhou, who was in a very good mood, showed mercy and secretly promised to buy them meat buns and candies.

The two little ones were coaxed into agreeing to go to their grandparents' house and help them prepare lunch for everyone. Only then did Bai Jingzhou couldn't wait to go to Gu's house.

After finishing her meal, Gu Wenxuan was planning to sneak out of the house when the two little ones were not paying attention. When she looked up, she saw Bai Jingzhou walking towards her quickly.

"Why are you here?" Gu Wenxuan walked out of the yard, closed the gate, and looked at Bai Jingzhou who had come over on purpose with some confusion.

To go to the town from Gu Wenxuan's house, one has to walk from the end of the village to the beginning of the village, which means that Gu Wenxuan will actually pass by Bai Jingzhou's house.

Gu Wenxuan originally planned to wait until she arrived at the Bai family and then call Bai Jingzhou out, but she didn't expect that Bai Jingzhou would go to the end of the village with all the trouble.

Bai Jingzhou avoided the question with a smile, "It's getting late, let's hurry up."

When Gu Wenxuan heard this, she thought he couldn't wait any longer and came over to urge her to leave quickly.

She nodded to Bai Jingzhou and said, "Let's walk faster. If you feel tired along the way, just let me know."

Bai Jingzhou responded with a "OK", and the two of them followed the custom of that era, keeping a distance of four or five feet (about 1.3-1.7 meters) between each other, and walked towards the village entrance, one in front and one behind.

They walked until they were far away from the village. Due to the busy farming season, there were no other pedestrians on the road. So they changed from walking one in front of the other to walking side by side with half an arm's length between them.

There was no one else around, so the two of them talked freely.

Gu Wenxuan, "I want to sneak into the mountains tomorrow to see if I can get some pheasants or rabbits."

Bai Jingzhou, "I just happen to want to go into the mountains to collect herbs. How about we go together?"

Gu Wenxuan nodded, "Then let's go together. If there is any danger in the mountains, with me here, we can at least escape safely."

Her current strength is about three times that of an ordinary adult man. In addition, she has practiced martial arts for many years and has extremely rich combat experience. In this world without superpowers, as long as they are not suddenly surrounded by a group of more than 30 refugees, Gu Wenxuan is confident that she can lead Bai Jingzhou away safely.

Bai Jingzhou, who had gotten what he wanted, smiled particularly beautifully. He said, "Then I'll wait for you in the woods after breakfast tomorrow."

Gu Wenxuan nodded, "I'll try to come out as early as possible."

The two continued to walk towards the town. Bai Jingzhou hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but ask Gu Wenxuan, "Do you... miss home?"

Gu Wenxuan was silent for a moment, then heaved a long sigh, "I think so."

She just chose the path she wanted to take with great determination, and she didn't have any grudges against her family. How could she not miss her family when she was suddenly separated from them?

Bai Jingzhou said sullenly, "I want to, too."

He had two homes, the one where he and his parents lived together, and the one where he and the Gu family lived together, but now he has lost them all.

Although his new parents and brothers and sisters were very kind to him, their kindness was based on the premise that they did not know that their son or brother had a new heart.

Although he and Gu Wenxuan were not together voluntarily, he still felt guilty and remorseful for stealing someone else's life and family affection.

"Okay, don't be sad." Gu Wenxuan reached out and patted his shoulder. "Whether we miss you or feel guilty about it, it won't change anything. In the current situation, there is nothing else we can do except stay here and live a good life."

Bai Jingzhou nodded and asked her: "Then...what about the others?"

Gu Wenxuan was confused. "Others? What other people?"

Bai Jingzhou lowered his eyebrows, "...Nothing."

Gu Wenxuan scratched her head, "Hey, don't say half of your words!"

Bai Jingzhou was asked repeatedly by her, and finally he could only answer vaguely: "Just...your friends, acquaintances and so on. Will you miss them?"

Gu Wenxuan was speechless. That's it?

She said, "Ah, I do think about that a little bit."

Bai Jingzhou was silent, his heart aching slightly.

Gu Wenxuan was curious, "Why? Do you miss your friends too? That's right, otherwise you wouldn't have asked me so suddenly."

She sighed and gave a heartfelt advice, "I'm telling you, you should be more open-minded. At least we are still alive, right? We have finally saved our lives, moved to a more livable environment, and even got younger. We can't live a miserable life anymore."

Bai Jingzhou nodded: "I know, I have been trying to adapt."

Gu Wenxuan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

After a pause, she continued, "I don't know if the three of them are crying and scolding me for being unfilial. Not only did they die, but they also caused you to die with me."

Fortunately, she still has a younger brother. e=(′o｀*)))Alas!!!

Bai Jingzhou also sighed, "They will probably cry, but I don't think they will be willing to scold you."

Gu Wenxuan sighed for the nth time, "Why are you so stupid? Is it possible for an ordinary person like you to rush over to that kind of situation?"

Bai Jingzhou was silent for a moment, "Sorry."

Gu Wenxuan rubbed his head and said, "I should be the one to apologize. I have caused you trouble."

Uh, it seems she has said this once before?

Bai Jingzhou shook his head, "I made the decision myself."

Gu Wenxuan: ...Yes, they did discuss this topic before.

Just as she was thinking, she heard Bai Jingzhou say, "I just... feel sorry for grandpa, uncle and aunt. They raised us, but we didn't get to enjoy the blessings. Instead, they had to endure a lot of fear and anxiety. Now they have to endure the pain of seeing their child die..."

Gu Wenxuan: ...She felt like she was stabbed twice.

It was she who made grandpa and parents so worried and frightened, and it was she who caused the three of them to suffer the pain of seeing their children die...

She covered her chest with her hands. It was over. She had a guilty conscience. Although she did not regret her original choice, she began to feel doubly guilty towards her family.

Gu Wenxuan was dejected, with a guilty expression as if she was carrying a heavy cross, which made Bai Jingzhou very satisfied.

It was true that he missed his relatives who were far away from them, and it was also true that he wanted to take this opportunity to teach Gu Wenxuan a lesson and make her cherish her life. Now it seemed that the effect was not bad.

He choked up and said, "You've died once, so don't continue to take your life and death lightly. In this strange place, you're the only person I know, and you can't leave me and go away by yourself."
