This time, Gu Wen showed Xia Yihao's face for a few days. A word was different from what he said, as if there was no such person as Xia Yi in his eyes. When calling him to eat, he didn't call his name, but said roughly, "Eat."

It's like a silent tower at home.

Xia Yi lived tremblingly, not even daring to open the meal to eat. Gu Wenzhu secretly looked at Gu Wenzhu blindly, rushing to sweep the floor and plastering, for fear that someone accidentally annoyed him: Not only did you have an unhealthy mind, you can still eat so much, and the family is overwhelmed by you, let me go!

So Xia Yi only ate half-full every meal, panicked with hunger in the middle of the night, and secretly went to the kitchen to turn over things to eat.

"179, scan to see if Gu Wen has fallen asleep?"

System: "Sleep."

He tiptoed to the kitchen and started to eat. bumped into the basin in the dark, and immediately did not dare to move with a bang.

"179, is Gu Wen awake yet?"

System: "Woke up, but he just looked up at the kitchen and fell asleep again."

"I was violently violently by the family, I was so miserable."

System: "Stop talking, let's eat first."

I went to turn over the food every night, but fortunately, can turn over some of it every night, so messed up stomach anyway.

......

During this time, Xia Yi went to see his patch of potatoes every day. Coupled with the unilateral cold war between Gu Wenzhu and him, the air at home seems to be frozen. So in addition to sleeping and eating, he spent the rest of the time soaking in the ground.

Gradually, the whole village knew of Gu Wen's stepmother's nephew who had escaped from famine. Because was scared and hungry, finally got a bit of potatoes. watched every day, and eyes were green. wish could sleep in the field. It was really pitiful to see.

Xia Yi quickly got in touch with the sympathetic villagers.

"Xiao Yi, go to see potatoes again?"

"Yes, Auntie, have you had breakfast?"

"Xiao Yi, I've seen your potatoes for you, and they haven't emerged yet."

"Thank you Uncle Wang."

"Ann...an...dou...dou...an...soil"

"Sister Wang, Dan baby can talk."

......

Xia Yi squatted on the ridge with a sad look. It's been so many days, the ground is still the same, not a single seedling, these seedlings will not all die in the soil.

At night, he lay on the bed tossing and turning, suddenly turned over and sat up, put on his shirt and shoes, and walked out.

System: "Where are you going, host?"

Xia Yi: "I have to go and see my land, otherwise I can't sleep."

System: "Didn't you just go to see it in the morning?"

Xia Yi: "No wonder I think about it so much. I haven't seen it for an afternoon."

system:......

Xia Yi stepped onto the ridge that he was so familiar with that he could walk with his eyes closed, and walked all the way to his own land.

The moonlight was like water, and from a distance, he saw a hunched figure in his ground at a glance.

Xia Yi's heart jumped and she said in shock, "179, scan quickly, who is in my field and what is it doing?" His eyes began to patrol around the ground to see if there were any sticks, rocks, etc. "

"Fuck, if he wants to harm me potatoes, I will kill him."

System: "Host, don't panic, that's Gu Wenzhu, loosening the soil for your potato field."

Xia Yi was taken aback, stopped immediately, and looked carefully. It can be seen that Gu Wenzhu's figure is squatting in the gully of the field, moving little by little, loosening every potato pit little by little.

Xia Yi suddenly felt warm in his heart, and the grievances and boredom that Gu Wen had left out these days also disappeared unknowingly.

"179, I think it's good for Gu Wen to chase each other."

"I don't want to have a cold war with him."

Gu Wen returned home after loosing the soil in the ground, and as soon as he entered the yard, he looked at Xia Yi's bedroom. Through the window, the room was dark, and Xia Yi had obviously fallen asleep. He was about to go to the corner of the courtyard to fetch water to wash, and as soon as he turned around, he saw a row of dripping clothes hanging on the clothesline. It was exactly the one he hadn't washed today.

There was also a pair of obscene trousers hanging on the rope, which was slightly dancing in the wind wet.

Gu Wen stood there in a daze for a moment. After a long while, he sighed helplessly, shook his head and continued to walk to the well.

. . . . . .

Not two days after Gu Wen had loosened the soil that night, the potatoes had emerged. The newly unearthed seedlings stretched out in the sun, tender and fresh. Xia Yi stood on the ridge, looking at the tender green shoots in the field, with unspeakable happiness in her heart.

The villagers passing by with their hoes also noticed the greenery of the border.

"Xiao Yi, your potatoes have finally emerged."

"Yes, Uncle Wang, you are early today."

"Oh, it's not easy, Xiao Yi finally managed to emerge from the seedlings."

"Where, don't worry, seedlings will emerge anyway, is breakfast available for Aunt Li?"

Xia Yi greeted the villagers in a hurry and was very polite. With a slight smile on his face, he looked very calm.

"179,179, the seedlings finally emerged, hahahahaha the seedlings have emerged, hahaha"

"Hahaha seedlings have emerged, hahahahaha."

"179, I really want to roll on the ground."

"179, I want to run a few laps on these ridges."

system:......

The weather is getting warmer, and the longer the potato sprouts, the better, and the greenery is very gratifying. Xia Yi went to inspect several times a day, catching insects and watering, squatting on the ridge and chatting with 179, discussing the growth of Xiao Miao'er, which was very exciting.

Seeing that it would be harvested in two months, Xia Yi was very longing for it in her heart. When the first task is completed, it is one step closer to leaving this ghost world as soon as possible.

In the afternoon of that day, Xia Yi and Gu Wen were sitting in the courtyard for a meal under the shade of the trees. Since the weather got hot, they moved the dining table from the kitchen to the yard, which was bright and cool.

Slowly a dark cloud floated, and stopped on the top of the small courtyard, and the sky gradually became faint. Then, with a few flashes of lightning and thunder, heavy rain poured down.

Gu Wen hurriedly brought the dining table to the corridor.

The world is getting darker, and the rain is already mixed with hail the size of rice grains, and the courtyard is beating with crackling.

Xia Yi secretly screamed badly, and remembered his family's upset potatoes. Can't help putting down the dishes and standing on the side of the corridor, looking up anxiously at the sky.

"179, I'm a little worried about my potato sprouts, would you scan it?"

"Host, the potato seedlings are currently safe, and hail is not enough to pose a danger."

The hail gradually got bigger, like pigeon eggs, and smashed down with the heavy rain, and quickly gathered a thick layer on the ground. The tiles above my head could hear the crunch of cracks, and the leaves and branches in the yard fell all over the ground.

"179, scan the potato sprouts again." Xia Yi rubbed his hands around under the eaves, anxious.

"Host, potato seedlings are a bit dangerous. Although potatoes are anti-hail crops, the hail is too big."

"No, I have to go and see my little Miaoer." Xia Yi stopped pacing back and forth, "I have to pick some banana leaves in the forest next to it."

"Host, no matter how important the task is, it can't compare to your safety." At the critical moment, 179 was still calmer than Xia.

"I can't control that much. If this task is broken, how can I go home?" Xia Yi looked up the tub for washing her face quickly, gritted her teeth, and rushed out the tub above her head.

"Where are you going?" Gu Wenzhu screamed from behind.

Xia Yi ran and replied: "I'm going to see my potato sprouts."

Gu Wen roared one by one: "You are not going to die? At this time, you are still thinking about potato sprouts."

Xia Yi ignored the reply, and ran towards the potato field hurriedly against the tub. The hail hit the wooden basin above the head banging, and people were frightened.

"My little Miao'er, you must hold on. Dad is here, and Dad is going to block banana leaves for you."

"Ah!" With a short exclamation, Xia Yi slipped and fell heavily. The tub in his hand was also taken off, and Gululu rolled to the side.

Hail immediately hit him like a bullet, and he hurriedly hugged his head in his hands, looking for the tub everywhere. The pain on back and shoulders was unbearable, but couldn't care about it now, just wanted to get up and go to the ground quickly. As soon as he stood up, there was a sharp tingling in his ankle, and he sat down again.

My ankle is crippled.

Xia Yi sat awkwardly in the hail, squinted his eyes and touched the tub beside him on his head, struggling to get up.

At this time, a figure stopped in front of Xia Yi. With the darkness in front of him, he was covered by a thick coat of clothing, and he no longer felt pain when the hail hit his body.

It was Gu Wen who came here.

Gu Wen picked him up in his arms one by one, and rushed to the house. Bend his waist slightly while running, and use his upper body to block the hail.

With a kick open the door of the courtyard, Gu Wen quickly carried Xia Yi into the house. After laying him on the bamboo couch, Gu Wen knelt down and asked, "Has the man broken?"

Xia Yi was lying on the bamboo couch, feeling pain all over, but no matter how painful she was, she couldn't be as sad as the ground being destroyed. Turning his head to ignore him, only choked up: "My little Miao'er."

Gu Wen paused one by one, and then he was puzzled: "Just smash the potatoes, where are they so expensive? If they are broken, I will give them to you."

Xia Yi buzzed with a nasal sound, "You don't understand, I want my Xiao Miao'er, they are very important to me."

After speaking, she turned her side, didn't want to speak any more, secretly sad.

Imagine that I came to this strange world for no reason, always suppressing the fear of my brother's identity and working hard to go home. Finally, there was a little hope, a hailstorm, which wiped out all the expectations these days.

Xia Yibei came from it, and tears finally couldn't help but he wiped it secretly, not wanting to be seen by Gu Wen.

After a while, Xia Yi heard a strange noise coming from behind him. Turning his face to see, Gu Wen wore a hat and a quilt, dragged a few old bamboo mats taken out of the utility room, rolled them into rolls and clamped his arms under his arms to make a gesture to go out.

"Where are you going? The hail is so big outside." Xia Yi propped up her upper body and looked at Gu Wenzhu dimly with tears.

"I'll save your Xiao Miao'er." Gu Wen glanced at him one by one, then turned and rushed into the hail rain.

"Don't! Don't go!" Xia Yi hurriedly stopped, but Gu Wenzhu had already reached the gate of the courtyard quickly, opened the gate and ran out.
