Quick Wear: True and False Life

But seeing her walking around with her eyes half open, he thought it was quite interesting and wanted to tease her. He stretched out a finger to touch Gu Nan's little nose, rubbed her little belly, and finally gently pinched her clenched fist with two fingers, and asked leisurely: "Poor little thing, are you hungry?"

"Come... come..., smile at me and I will fill your little belly."

Seeing that Gu Nan ignored him, Chang Le tapped her little face and said, "Smile, look at me~, if you ignore me, I won't give you any food."

Gu Nan was very depressed after hearing this. This future master was teasing a kitten or a puppy, but unfortunately he was too small and "couldn't help himself"! He could only turn his eyes away and not look at him.

Chang Le looked at Gu Nan's eyes and laughed. He stood up and walked to the fire and said, "How interesting!" Then he began to clean up and cook. After it was done, he put half a bowl of rice soup in an earthen bowl and put it aside. He carried Gu Nan from the hay to sit by the fire and started feeding him with a wooden spoon.

Unfortunately, Chang Le was not the type who could take care of others. He spilled most of the half bowl of porridge, and after struggling to feed Gu Nan, he took out half a piece of bread from his body and ate it with the porridge. Then he put Gu Nan back on the hay, went out to bring back some firewood, blocked the entrance to the cave, and went to the hay to rest while holding Gu Nan.

In Chang Le's arms, Gu Nan thought to herself that Master Chang Le was quite good. The original owner had a good master but it was a pity that he left early. Otherwise, with the master taking care of her, she would not have died so tragically.

The next day, Chang Le got up at dawn to cook porridge. After Chang Le and Gu Nan had finished eating, Chang Le put away the simple and worn-out bag on his back, and carried Gu Nan back to the Taoist temple.

Walking and stopping along the way, Gu Nan listened to Chang Le talking to himself and learned some things about Chang Le. Chang Le lived alone in the Taoist temple on the back mountain of Gujia Village in Cangnan Town. Chang Le said that the Taoist temple was built by the ancestors of Gujia Village to thank them for saving their lives. Later, after the benefactor passed away, there was no successor and the temple was vacant. Chang Le passed by here and settled here for more than 40 years.

But now the most helpless and shameful thing for Gu Nan is that his body is not free, and he can't control his eating, drinking, defecating and urinating. Fortunately, Chang Le used the money to buy some newly sewn clothes and other baby products from farmers on the way, otherwise it would be even more embarrassing.

Chang Le brought Gu Nan back to Gujia Village with great difficulty, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief, mainly because it was really inconvenient for the ancients to travel, especially when there were children. After returning to the Taoist temple, Chang Le packed up, sorted out himself and Gu Nan, took two boxes of snacks and planned to take Gu Nan to the village to find food, and by the way, find someone to go up the mountain to take care of Gu Nan, after all, as a man, there are always some inconveniences.

"Master Changle, you are back."

"Hello, Taoist Master Chang Le!"

"The Taoist priest is going down the mountain to Changshan's house for dinner, or he has something to ask the village chief!"

.........

"Let's go to Changshan's house for dinner." Changshan got along well with the villagers. Villagers would often go to the Taoist temple to seek medical treatment when they had a headache or fever. The rich would pay for the consultation, and the poor would send some food and vegetables. Usually, Changle would only come down the mountain when he had something to do or to make a toothpick. He was self-sufficient at other times, so this was the reason.

"Is Changshan at home?" After arriving at Gu Changshan's house, Chang Le raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Are you there? Is that Taoist Chang Le?" Gu Gao asked loudly. Then she wiped her hands with the apron, put down the bowl, came out of the kitchen and opened the door.

"Yes, I came over to have a drink with Changshan and ask you for a favor!"

"Squeak~"

After the door opened, Gu Gao smiled happily and said, "Master, you are so polite. Come in."

"Changshan is watering the plants behind the house. Taoist priest, please bring the child inside to sit. I will go and call Changshan."

Chang Le carried Gu Nan and then walked into the main hall of the Gu family as if he was familiar with the place. He put down the box in his hand and found a place to sit down and tease Gu Nan. Gu Gao went to the back of the house to find the head of the family, Gu Changshan.

"Master, please stop working for now. Taoist Chang Le has returned with a child. I don't know whose child he is. He is in the main hall right now. You should go and talk to him."

"I'm coming." Gu Changshan put down the wooden barrel and wooden ladle, washed his hands, and went back to the house with Gu Gao.

"Master, when you come into the house to talk, please ask the Taoist priest to give the three children some names! My son will be four years old soon. In two or three years, he will be old enough to go to private school. It's not okay to call him Xiaobao. He needs a proper name."

"I understand. Go and pour some tea for the Taoist priest first, and then call the child back for him to see." Gu Changshan said after a moment of hesitation.

Gu Gao hurriedly poured the tea and went out to the foot of the back mountain to look for her three children. They had gone up the mountain to collect firewood and dig wild vegetables in the morning, and it was almost time for them to go down the mountain and play at the foot of the mountain.

"Xiaobao, stop playing and go home." Gu Gao saw Da Niu, Er Niu and Xiaobao at the foot of the mountain from a distance. Da Niu was digging wild vegetables, Er Niu and Xiaobao were catching small fish and shrimps by the water, so she shouted loudly.

After a while, the three children and Gu Gaoshi went home, dragging firewood and carrying bamboo baskets. On the way, Gu Gaoshi told the three children to be good and ask Taoist Changle to give them names.

The three children were very happy to hear that they were given names. Especially the eldest girl, who was two years older than the second girl and was nine years old this year, knew more. Many girls in the village did not have a full name, and were called by their surnames after getting married. It was a lucky and happy thing to have a full name. The eldest girl looked at the silly and happy look of the second girl and felt that they were lucky. Although their parents loved Xiaobao more, they were not bad to them. She could also guess that she was able to have a full name because of Xiaobao, and her eyes looked at Xiaobao more gently.

"Mom, do I have a name? Tietou has a name, and now I have one too. Look, he's still laughing at me. I'll tell him in the evening after I pick a name." Xiaobao said happily.

Gu Gao and her two sisters laughed when they heard this. They knew that their cousin was just teasing him, but Xiaobao kept it in mind, which showed how much he cared about it.

"Xiaobao, your cousin was just teasing you, and you believed it. Now that you have grown up, you even call your cousin by his nickname. Be careful that your grandma hears it and nags her." The big girl glanced at Xiaobao and said with a smile.

"That won't work either. He will laugh at me. I...I...you can't tell anyone else." Xiaobao blushed, hugged the fish basket with one hand, and quickly grabbed the corner of his elder sister's clothes with his other hand, and said anxiously.

"Okay, stop teasing Xiaobao. When you get home, hurry up and clean up. I see the Taoist priest has brought a child with him. Big Girl will go and look after him later."

In the main room, Gu Changshan and Chang Le were talking about naming their children. Most of the boys in Gujia Village were named by Chang Le, and Chang Le was happy about it.

"Boss, it's time to eat." Gu Gao led her eldest daughter to the main room, set up the table, laid out the food, and warmed up a pot of wine.

"Master, you and the head of the family can eat first. Give me the child, I'll let the big girl feed him!"

"Okay, big girl, please take care of him!" Chang Le handed Gu Nan to Gu Gao, and then started drinking with Gu Changshan.

Gu Gao carried Gu Nan to the kitchen and handed her to Da Niu. She scooped some rice soup from the porridge in a bowl and asked Da Niu to feed it to Gu Nan. Fortunately, Gu Nan was not a real baby. As soon as Da Niu fed her to her mouth, she sucked hard. She was already hungry.

"Mom, this child is so good."
