520 Picking up garbage and marrying into a wealthy family

"Hey, hey, hey... Isn't this a luxurious villa? Why does it feel like a deep forest... Even the road is only built halfway up the mountain... The most important thing is that the mountain is shaking so much..."

Carrying An An, who refused to leave halfway, on his back, and carrying his own luggage in front, Gu Shaoyu once again experienced the feeling of his legs getting weak from climbing a mountain. He was breathing unevenly, holding his knees to adjust his breathing, and complaining.

"Speaking of which, there's actually such a rural place around the bustling Anning City... It feels like a village..."

Lin Yunchu, who was physically strong, stood in an open space, looked at the village below, and sighed.

"It's places like this that make authentic dishes. Regardless of how the seafood is transported here, the quality of the free-range chicken is definitely top-notch."

Because they have been traveling outside for many years and have the habit of exercising, Lin's father and mother did not seem to be struggling. They could still hold on while carrying their own backpacks and walking and resting from time to time.

Even though Gu Lingyan was carrying his own backpack, Xiang Huanian's backpack since he started climbing halfway up the mountain, and Lele, who had become increasingly chubby recently, was on his back, he still looked calm. Apart from a few slightly uneven breaths, there was no sign of exertion.

As for Xiang Huanian, the only physically weak person in the team, although he usually practices Ba Duan Jin to improve his physical fitness, it is only enough to cope with daily life. Once he arrives in such a mountainous area that tests the overall physical fitness, Xiang Huanian is helpless.

Therefore, compared with the others who were relatively calm and even at ease, Xiang Huanian, who had nothing to gain, was sweating, his face flushed, and his heavy breathing stood out particularly.

However, no one was in a hurry. After parking the car in the parking lot halfway up the mountain, they slowly climbed up to the top of the mountain, step by step, in line with Xiang Huanian's pace.

"There's a bench here, take a rest first."

Gu Lingyan, who was always paying attention to Xiang Huanian's breathing, immediately gave everyone the order to rest when he heard that Xiang Huanian's breathing was once again on the verge of limit.

Xiang Huanian took the hand that Gu Lingyan extended, and sat down on the waterproof and dirt-proof mat that Gu Lingyan had laid out for her. She breathed deeply and adjusted herself as quickly as possible.

Although no one condemned him, the delay was too long and Xiang Huanian himself felt bad about it.

"Ah, I need to take a break too. An An, have you gained weight recently? Why do you feel like you're having more trouble than the last time we went to Feilai Peak..."

After carefully putting down An An, who was sticking out her tongue and regaining her energy, Gu Shaoyu sat down on a big rock on the mountain path, complaining about An An's weight.

"Wang Woo!"

An An seemed to understand, and was dissatisfied. She cursed back at Gu Shaoyu who said she was fat.

"What are you doing? I carried you almost the entire way up here, and now you're still scolding me. Do you know what this behavior of yours is called, you ungrateful, bad dog!"

When Gu Shaoyu started arguing, he was still full of energy, and you couldn't tell at all that he was exhausted and depressed from climbing the mountain just a second ago.

He pinched An An's mouth, pointed at An An who kept avoiding his gaze, and lectured her righteously.

Because Gu Shaoyu was indeed right, everyone chose to ignore An An's pleading gaze.

"Woo..."

It would have been fine if he just said a few words, but Gu Shaoyu kept chattering and An An's patience gradually wore out.

An An, who was impatient, started to quarrel with Gu Shaoyu.

Although his mouth was grabbed, it did not prevent An An from making a low growl of protest from his throat. However, Gu Shaoyu did not buy it and still wanted to restore his master's position.

Seeing that the hard approach didn't work, An'an, the meteorite Border Collie, who was full of tricks in his head, now 8 months old, started to try the soft approach.

"Hey..."

Lele: “.” It’s too shameful to watch.

As soon as the pitiful voice came out, the people who had turned their heads to look at the mountain scenery in the distance immediately cast their eyes on Gu Shaoyu.

Gu Shaoyu, feeling uneasy, said: "...You are such a dog...Okay, I won't talk about you anymore. I'll take you to the side to get some water."

Gu Shaoyu, who was defeated by An An's little trick, had just finished resting. He stood up, took the rope, and led An An to the small woods nearby.

"...Wow! Look! There's a natural cave right here!"

While An An was putting water in the water, Gu Shaoyu was still uneasy. He looked around, and then found a relatively large cave under a rock not far from the main road.

"I wonder how many people can hide here. It looks pretty big. If we play hide-and-seek on this mountain, no one will ever find us..."

Gu Shaoyu came back holding An An's hand, who looked very happy, and shared his discovery with everyone.

"Playing hide-and-seek on this mountain. Even though it's a development zone, don't underestimate the power of nature. It's too dangerous..."

"I'm just saying, I definitely wouldn't do that..."

"..."

"...We're almost halfway through the journey. Let's continue. Nian Nian, are you okay? Do you want me to carry you?"

Lin Yunchu, a ninth-degree Sanda fighter and a master of physical strength, extended an invitation to Xiang Huanian, whose face was as pale as a fallen leaf drifting in the wind.

Gu Lingyan: “…” Why don’t you look at me before you speak?

"No need, Sister Yunchu, I'm fine. I want to finish this journey on my own."

Lin Yunchu, who felt Gu Lingyan's "death gaze":

"...Okay, then when you can't hold it anymore, just say it. Don't force it."

"Ok."

So, after a brief rest, the group set off again.

The air at high altitudes, although not to the point of being thin, has a freshness to it that has not been overly polluted by humans.

When they were nearing the top of the mountain, everyone felt the temperature drop suddenly. At the same time, the fresh oxygen forcefully invaded their lungs against their will, as if to purify every part of their body.

"Wow, the air in the mountains is still fresh... This is pure natural greenery, and there's no exhaust pollution. If all the cars drove up here, the air here would probably be polluted. The owner here is quite wise..."

Father Lin, who was in excellent physical condition, held the hand of Mother Lin, who was in good condition, walked to the front, and took Mother Lin to breathe the freshest air. From time to time, he greeted Lin Yunchu and took pictures of them.

As for Xiang Huanian, I don’t know if she has adapted to this pace of climbing. Later on, she no longer needs Gu Lingyan to hold her hand... Well, it is not ruled out that the road conditions have improved.
