The leader's strong man

Gu Jiuyuan's gaze has been following Guan Yan.

The man walked around the field, cleaning up the sundries in the field and cleaning up the dirt on the seedlings. After finishing this, the man wiped his face, walked to the side with a hoe and opened the drain.

The man swung the hoe high, and the muscle lines of his arms were especially obvious under the sunlight due to the strength of his arms.The sweaty clothes stuck to him, outlining his waistline.

Gu Jiuyuan looked away, feeling that the sun was burning his face a little hot.

The grasshoppers, one large and one small, were close to each other in their hands, and when they were lifted, they spun together, Gu Jiuyuan's dark eyes sparkled.When he looked up again, Guan Yan threw something onto the grass and walked up the ditch barefoot.

The eyes of the two men met from afar.

Guan Yan smiled at him, bent down and picked up the hoe.

Gu Jiuyuan's eyes lit up and he stood up.

Guan Yan is done, they can go back!

Gu Jiuyuan clenched the straw rope in his hand, and looked at Guan Yan with hot and deep eyes.

It was already noon at this time, and the farmers who were busy nearby all returned to the village one after another. Looking around, Guan Yan was the only one in the field.

The farmland is empty, and the man seems to be alone.

He doesn't like this feeling, obviously he and Guan Yan are together!

Holding a hoe in one hand and two fish caught in the ditch in the other, Guan Yan strode closer to meet Gu Jiuyuan's gaze.

The man's tough face was flushed by the sun, and his forehead and nose were still dripping with sweat. Gu Jiuyuan turned around and took out a bamboo tube filled with water from his back basket and handed it to Guan Yan.

Guan Yan was slightly surprised, took the bamboo tube, and said with a smile, "Thank you."

Gu Jiuyuan's eyes brightened even more.

Guan Yan pulled out the stopper and gulped water, Gu Jiuyuan stared at his Adam's apple rolling up and down, and swallowed.

Realizing his actions, Gu Jiuyuan was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly lowered his eyes.

After quenching his thirst, Guan Yan put down the bamboo tube and wiped the corners of his lips casually, not wanting a grasshopper to be handed to him by Gu Jiuyuan.

"You don't need to return it to me, you can play with it."

Guan Yan said kindly, but Gu Jiuyuan ignored it and kept the gesture of handing things over.

Guan Yan raised his eyebrows, trying to say no, but found that Gu Jiuyuan was also holding a grasshopper in his other hand.He looked at the grasshopper Gu Jiuyuan handed him, then at the grasshopper in Gu Jiuyuan's hand, and asked hesitantly, "...you made this up?"

The grasshopper in the boy's hand was woven by him, and the grasshopper given to him by the boy was obviously slightly smaller than the one he wove.

Gu Jiuyuan answered him with gestures, handing the grasshopper forward.

Guan Yan took the grasshopper and looked at it.

The method is the same as his.

The young man has lost his memory, so it is unlikely that he remembered how to weave grasshoppers, but he only did it once in front of Gu Jiuyuan just now!

Guan Yan was astonished, and understood Gu Jiuyuan a little more.He said softly, "Are you hungry? I just caught two fish and I'll get you some fish to eat."

Gu Jiuyuan looked at the lively fish, thought of the fish that Guan Yan had grilled for him, and nodded.

With the basket on his back, Guan Yan greeted him: "I'm going back."

Just like when they came, the two walked back one after another. The difference was that Guan Yan had an extra grasshopper in his hand, while Gu Jiuyuan had two fish besides the grasshopper.

Silently following Guan Yan, Gu Jiuyuan observed as he walked. He had already seen the road once when he came, and he would go back and recognize it again so that he could write down the road to the fields.

Back home, Guan Yan packed up the fish and salted it first, then took Gu Jiuyuan to the yard to pick vegetables.

It was midnight when Guan Yan brought him back last night, and he was in a hurry to go to the fields this morning, so Gu Jiuyuan didn't notice the yard behind the house.

Shuigou Village has a small population, and the residential land allocated to each household is large, so each household has a large yard.Guan Yan opened up a piece of land in the yard as a vegetable garden. After the torrential rain, the vegetables in the field fell apart, and the melon shed and bean stand that he built fell down.

There are still a lot of melons and beans hanging on the shelf, and each one is still stained with water.He didn't know any of these vegetables.

The man frowned and squatted down to help up the scaffolding and reinstall it. Gu Jiuyuan quickly stepped forward to help, and Guan Yan took a hoe and came over to replant the melons and beans.

Gu Jiuyuan looked around the yard.He found that the yard was quite large, surrounded by a fence made of bamboo, and shrubs he didn't know were planted on the side.

In addition to the vegetable field, there is a well and several old trees in the yard.

Guan Yan put down his hoe, went to the well to fetch water to wash his hands, and then picked some melons and fruits.

While picking it, he introduced it to Gu Jiuyuan: "This is a loofah, this is a bean, and this is a pumpkin..."

Every time he talked about a vegetable, Gu Jiuyuan would carefully observe the appearance of their leaves, roots, and fruits.

In the end, Guan Yan picked a handful of old beans, a tender loofah, a radish, a few tomatoes, and an old pumpkin.

The plump and red tomato was very pleasing, Gu Jiuyuan held it in his hand and looked left and right, feeling a little fond of it.

Guan Yan smiled, washed two tomatoes, and handed one to Gu Jiuyuan: "Tomatoes can be eaten directly."

Seeing the man bite down without hesitation, fresh juice burst out, Gu Jiuyuan's eyes fell on his moist lips, he was stunned for a moment, his ears felt hot, and he quickly lowered his head and took a bite of the tomato.

The tomato juice is clear, the flesh is bright red, and the sweet and sour taste is quite appetizing.

Gu Jiuyuan quickly finished one.

"Here." Guan Yan handed him another one.

Gu Jiuyuan shook his head.

Guan Yan smiled: "It's just two tomatoes, it doesn't take up your stomach."

Gu Jiuyuan still shook his head.

Guan Yan didn't try to persuade him, but taught him to peel the beans: "The beans are old, and you can only eat the beans inside. Tear the pods from the middle, just peel the beans and put them in a bowl."

Gu Jiuyuan nodded, and sat on a small stool to carefully peel the beans.

There was a sound next to his ear, and Gu Jiuyuan turned his head to see that Guan Yan was steaming the washed rice in a pot.

The firewood was burning vigorously in the firepit, and the unique smell wafted away when the firewood was burning. After the man stuffed two large pieces of firewood into it, he clapped his hands and stood up to prepare the ingredients.

Peel and dice the freshly picked pumpkin and radish, take another piece of bacon and dice it in the same way, rub the kitchen knife in the man's hand a few times, the golden pumpkin, orange red radish, and red and white diced bacon are all cut alright.

Gu Jiuyuan put the peeled beans on the chopping board, Guan Yan stopped the knife, and said gently, "Have pumpkin stewed rice at noon."

Gu Jiuyuan couldn't help but look forward to it.

He didn't know what pumpkin stewed rice was, but Guan Yan was good at cooking, and everything was delicious.

Holding the cattail fan that Guan Yan gave him in the morning, Gu Jiuyuan stood by the stove watching while fanning Guan Yan.

The strong aroma exploded in the pot. Guan Yan first put the diced bacon into the pot, then poured in the diced pumpkin, radish and beans and stir-fried. Sprinkled some salt and added a little soy sauce to enhance the flavor.

At this time, the rice was boiling, and it was bubbling and smoking.Guan Yan lifted the lid of the pot, poured the fried diced pumpkin into the pot, stirred evenly, covered it, and turned to low heat to simmer after the rice boiled again.

During the period, Guan Yan reheated the pan and added oil, cooked loofah egg drop soup and braised fish.

For a while, the kitchen was full of aromas.

Gu Jiuyuan's nose twitched, a little impatiently.

"Help me get a plate." Guan Yan said suddenly.

Gu Jiuyuan was startled, and turned to search in the kitchen.

"In that cupboard against the wall."

Gu Jiuyuan stepped forward to open the cabinet as he said.The cabinet is divided into upper and lower layers, the bottom layer is some earthen pots, and the upper layer is some dishes, which seem to be not often used.

Guan Yan was here to hold fish, so he picked an oval dish with flowers and plants depicted on it.After thinking about it, he went to the sink to wash the dishes before handing them to Guan Yan.

Guan Yan took it with a smile, and put a whole fish in it. Finally, he poured the sauce in the pot and sprinkled some chopped green onion on top.

"Okay, come and eat."

After putting the fish on the table, Guan Yan found two large thick porcelain bowls, and filled a large bowl of fragrant pumpkin stewed rice for himself and Gu Jiuyuan.

As soon as he put down the rice spoon, Gu Jiuyuan took a spoon and a bowl and came over to make soup.

Guan Yan was secretly surprised.That was the spoon and bowl he used to make soup this morning.

The young man's fingers were slender and white, even if he held a simple wooden spoon, his beauty would not be compromised. In addition, Gu Jiuyuan's eyes were half-closed and his expression was focused. A bowl of loofah soup forced him to be cautious about filling Wanqiong nectar.

Guan Yan coughed lightly: "Be careful, it's hot, let me do it."

Gu Jiuyuan brought the soup in front of him, looking straight at him with clear black eyes.

A strange feeling suddenly rose in Guan Yan's heart.

I can't say I was flattered, but I just felt... as if I was taken care of by someone.

Guan Yan rubbed his nose and said, "Eat quickly, come with me to tidy up the vegetable garden when you're full."

good.Gu Jiuyuan silently responded, picked up the chopsticks and put rice grains into his mouth.

The rich and alluring fragrance rushed straight into the nostrils, and Gu Jiuyuan couldn't help chewing carefully.

The rice grains are mixed with the fragrance and softness of pumpkin, the sweetness of radish, the salty fragrance of bacon, and the glutinousness of beans. Several kinds of sensations are layered on the tip of the tongue.

Just as he was about to take a bite of rice, fish with chopsticks fell into the bowl, and then the man's deep and magnetic voice sounded: "I have saved up some herbs, and I plan to go to the city to sell them tomorrow. You go to the city with me, and let Dr. Sun from Huichun Hall Let me show you the injury, and buy you a bed and clothes by the way, okay?"

Gu Jiuyuan paused slightly with the chopsticks in his hand.

He fell into an inexplicable madness last night, and he still had lingering fears of the bone-eating pain and hunger.

Thinking of this, Gu Jiuyuan raised his eyes to meet Shangguan Yan's warm gaze, and nodded slightly.

Guan Yan said again: "Doctor Sun has excellent medical skills, and he will definitely heal your injury, so you don't have to worry."

There was encouragement and concern in the man's words, Gu Jiuyuan twitched the corner of his mouth, signaling that he was not worried.

From last night until now, the expression on the young man's face has been very calm, only those bright black eyes occasionally show blank or doubtful emotions, and now the corners of his lower lips are drawn suddenly, like spring flowers blooming, bright and compelling , Guan Yan was taken aback.

Gu Jiuyuan blinked.Guan Yan came back to his senses and smiled embarrassedly.

The two ate with lowered eyes and stopped talking.

Guan Yan is used to eating alone and not talking to others. Gu Jiuyuan used to be obsessed with martial arts, and even when he was eating, all he could think about was moves, let alone open his mouth.At this moment, the two were eating and drinking soup in silence, and the atmosphere was extremely peaceful.

After eating, Guan Yan packed up the dishes and went to wash, when suddenly there was a voice from the yard——

"Brother Guan! Are you at home?"

The voice was a little anxious, fearing that Guan Yan would not hear it, he called out again.

Guan Yan wiped his hands and pushed the door out: "I'm here, what's wrong?"

There was a black-faced man standing outside the fence. When he saw Guan Yan coming out, the man breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Brother Guan, you should go to Lai Zi's house quickly, Lai Zi will have his leg broken by his father!"

Guan Yan frowned: "I'll go now."

Gu Jiuyuan stood behind him, staring at him with dark eyes.

Guan Yan turned around and asked, "I'll go to the village to have a look. Do you stay at home, or come with me?"

Gu Jiuyuan raised his foot and walked to him, the meaning was self-evident.

Guan Yan said in a low voice: "This is a remote village, and everyone has little knowledge. You look so good, the villagers may not be able to help but take a few more glances, don't mind."

He paused, and then said: "They may say some bad things, so don't take it to heart."

Gu Jiuyuan responded one by one, and suddenly felt a weight on his head, Guan Yan put the bamboo hat on for him.

"gone."

Looking at Guan Yan's tall back, Gu Jiuyuan's black eyes sparkled with tiny stars.

He pulled Guan Yan, and the man only gave him a sideways glance before grabbing his wrist.

The corners of his mouth raised unconsciously, and Gu Jiuyuan silently followed his footsteps.
