Sensible Little Bun

Oh, damn this era, damn this... Gu Lan held back her complaints. No matter what, she had earned a lot in this life, so she should complain less. Maybe God would be happy to give her some opportunities or something. Let's get back to the point.

Since the Ji family went south, Gu Lan immediately decided to go west. She didn't want to run into the Ji family. She was afraid that she would go crazy if she couldn't help but be with such a bad family.

Fortunately, she still had the identity documents and household registration certificates of her family of three. In this way, no matter where she went, she could prove that she was not a refugee, and her treatment would be a little better. I'm afraid this was the only good thing the Ji family did.

After all, there was a lot of uncertainty in escaping, so on the first night before escaping, despite the unwillingness of Ji Wangshi, Old Man Ji still decided to let his sons carry the household registration certificates that proved their own identity.

What he was afraid of was an accident on the road. Now it was convenient for Gu Lan. Gu Lan decided to thank her eight generations of ancestors. So the mother and son began their difficult journey.

"Mom, where are we going? Are we going to find grandparents?" As they walked, the little bun looked at Gu Lan with some uneasiness. Deep down, he didn't want to find grandparents because they bullied him and his mother.

"Do you want to find grandpa and grandma?" Gu Lan stopped. She hadn't thought it through. If the little bun had this intention, Gu Lan would have to change the route she had set before. After all, the child's opinion was also very important.

The little bun shook his head fiercely, fearing that if he expressed it a little late, his mother would take him to find grandpa and grandma.

"Mom, I don't like grandpa and grandma, I don't like my uncle and aunt, mom, can we not find them?" The little bun looked at Gu Lan hopefully.

Seeing how fast the child shook his head, Gu Lan was really afraid that this thin neck could not support the little bun's head that was not in proportion to his body.

When talking about grandparents, the little bun had deep uneasiness and rejection in his eyes, which made Gu Lan feel sad. If the family was even a little bit better to the child, the child would not be so uneasy and so repulsive.

Gu Lan squatted down and hugged her adopted son in her arms, and said in what she thought was the most gentle voice,

"An'an, don't be afraid! If An'an doesn't want to go, then don't go. Mother will listen to An'an, okay?"

"Well, mother won't go." The little bun nodded.

"Okay, we won't go." Gu Lan let go of the little bun and smiled brightly at the child. Then, the mother and son continued on their way, and the mother and son were not idle while walking.

"Mom, where are we going?" The little bun couldn't help asking again.

"What a little worrywart!" Gu Lan stopped again, tapped the tip of the little bun's nose and smiled.

"We're not going south, we're going west, but mother doesn't know where the west is. Is An'an afraid?"

Gu Lan said softly while holding the little bun's hand and continuing to walk. Even if she had the memory of her original body, she really didn't know. The original body was just an ordinary peasant woman and couldn't know too much.

Facing the unknown road ahead, Gu Lan didn't know what difficulties and dangers she would encounter, so she didn't plan to hide it from the little bun.

"As long as mother is here, An'an is not afraid of anything." The little bun shook his head, his eyes full of determination and maturity.

"An'an is great! An'an is not afraid, and mother is not afraid either." Gu Lan looked at the little bun with admiration, making the little bun a little shy, and threw himself directly into his mother's arms.

Gu Lan deliberately took the opportunity to leave a mark in the little bun's heart that he was great and afraid of nothing, so that the little bun would become more and more brave under her subtle influence, and gradually change his previous repressed and cowardly character under the long-term oppression of the Ji family.

Don't be fooled by the cute little guy now, he only like this when she is around. If there are outsiders, the little bun will return to its original form when touched, and become a timid little guy, but now it's good, you can't eat a big fat man in one bite, and you have to take it step by step.

Gu Lan has the memory of her original body, and the little bun has been consciously changing slowly, and it is obvious that it has achieved initial results, which makes Gu Lan, a new mother, very happy. She was also full of confidence in the future. The original body might not be able to do it, but she was Gu Lan, not the original body. Her greatest advantage was her perseverance and indestructible faith. She would definitely find a safe and warm place with the little bun.

The road ahead was bleak. Without any means of transportation, the mother and son could only move forward with difficulty on their foot. Perhaps she had been sick for too long and the people fleeing from famine had already gone a long way, or perhaps the road she chose was not full of people. In short, there were only a few people on the way, which was really not much.

But this was exactly what Gu Lan wanted. The fewer people, the less disputes. Although her physical illness was cured, she was still a weak chicken in essence. If she was stronger, she would be able to better protect the little bun, and she would not be afraid.

Along the way, except for a few refugees, the most common thing they saw was the scorched and cracked land, the weeds that were stripped of only the roots, the trees that were stripped of bark and leaves, and the incompletely covered bones. Not to mention water, there was not even a green. Maybe there were some, but they were all collected by the fleeing people. Gu Lan really didn't expect the disaster to be so serious. Although she had prepared herself, what she saw with her own eyes still touched her deeply.

Every piece of land must have been dug up countless times. Finding food in such an environment is as difficult as climbing to heaven. In such an environment, even without seen everything in the screen before, Gu Lan could imagine how the little bun struggled to grow up. The suffering he endured was probably beyond her imagination.

Despite this, the mother and son would go to the forest to look for food when they rested on the road, thinking that there might be something missed.   

Meanwhile, Gu Lan consciously trained her and Little bun's physical fitness along the way, and taught Little bun Sanda and military boxing. Gu Lan vaguely fooled Little bun's questions. Children are easy to fool. They were exercising while walking towards the west.

Gu Lan might not be good at other things, but she had a good sense of direction as she had been on missions for many years. She walked straight towards the west with Little bun. In this way, several days passed quickly.

Gu Lan didn't know how far they had walked, maybe not far, after all, the mother and son were not traveling non-stop. They were traveling during the day, but before the night fell, Gu Lan would definitely take Little bun to find a place to rest at night, usually a remote place that would not attract attention. Seeing that the sun was about to set again, Gu Lan stopped with Little bun.

She scanned the surroundings with her excellent eyesight, looking for a place to rest at night. Then Gu Lan frowned, the terrain where they stopped today seemed a little bad. The surroundings were all bare loess, not even a dam or hill, not to mention a dilapidated temple. This was not a good place to rest, not only was it not hidden enough, there was not even a place to block the wind.

Gu Lan had no choice but to pick up the tired little bun and speed up to pass through this place, perhaps the road ahead would be better.

"Son, to be honest, mom will speed up, otherwise we will have to spend the night here." The little bun, who was afraid that his mother would get tired and wanted to walk down by himself, stopped struggling and cooperated as soon as his mother said so. Seeing her son so sensible, Gu Lan smiled knowingly and hurried away at the fastest speed while holding the little bun.

Thanks to her conscious exercise during this period, her strength has increased a lot, and the little bun is thin, Gu Lan really doesn't feel tired holding him for the time being. What Gu Lan didn't know was that because she wanted to hurry up, she would move a long way with every step she took, and disappeared from this place in less than half a cup of tea. The speed was really weird. Similarly, if she ran, the speed would probably be even more amazing.

Gu Lan didn't notice it at all at this time. She was just very happy. Before dusk fell, she finally walked out of the previous place and found a place with trees and hills. After some selection, she found a depression under the hill. It was not big enough for them, but it could block some wild wind.

When she came here, Gu Lan had already observed it. The surroundings were quiet. Not to mention people, even a bird was not seen. There was no need to worry about safety. After finding a place to rest, she felt much more relieved.

Then the mother and son began to pick up dead firewood around. A pile of fire was necessary. Now it was autumn, and the night was slowly getting colder. A pile of fire could also warm them up.

Gu Lan picked up some of them and put them into the space as usual, thinking that a little bit would make a lot. No matter whether it could be used in the future, it would always be good to be prepared. As before, except for the dead branches, nothing else was found.

After finding enough firewood and returning to the place where they rested at night, Gu Lan quickly lit the pile of fire.

Then she took out a broken pot from the package, sat on the fire, poured some water into it and boiled it, and took out a few pieces of black bread from the package and soaked them in boiling water. The mother and daughter ate while it was hot.

Although they couldn't eat a full meal, they could eat about 70% full, which made the little bun very happy. He said in a childish way that he hoped that every day would be like this in the future, which made Gu Lan, as a mother, feel distressed again.

With food in his stomach and a full day of walking, the little bun began to feel sleepy, and his little head nodded. Seeing this, Gu Lan quickly spread the dry grass she picked up on the ground, and spread all the worn-out clothes in the package on the dry grass, and put the sleepy little bun on it, and soon he fell asleep.

Then she took out the military green marching blanket from the space and covered the little bun with it. Perhaps he felt the warmth, and the little bun looked more and more comfortable.

Next, Gu Lan made preparations, adding water and taking out some bread, and thinking about taking out some quail eggs from the space. Quail eggs are bird eggs, so it's easy to fool the little one even if he asks. She added some more durable firewood to the fire, took out the dagger she carried with and put it under her clothes, then Gu Lan got into the quilt and hugged the little guy to sleep.
