Bad Breath

Breakfast was rice porridge with Gulan's cold wild vegetables, which was eaten up cleanly.

Even though Xiang Yunjin had a poor appetite due to the fever, he still drank a large bowl of porridge with some appetizing wild vegetables. He got on the cart shortly after the meal. It showed his amazing willpower that he could hold out until the end of the meal. If he sat down any longer, the wound would probably have split open again.

Gulan also got into the cart with a bowl of warm water in her hand. "Drink it, there is medicine in it."

It was a bowl of clear water. Xiang Yunjin looked at Gulan suspiciously. It didn't look like there was any medicine in it. Aren't all medicines in a black bowl?

"You'll know if you try it, but don't waste it. This medicine is very rare." Gulan said lightly.

Looking at the bowl of water that was said to be medicine, Xiang Yunjin finally picked it up, took a sip with half belief and half doubt, then paused, and then drank it all in one breath. The seemingly bland bowl of water turned out to be unusually bitter. It was definitely medicine, but the taste seemed a little different.

"Thanks"

"You're welcome, just have a good rest." Gulan took the bowl, nodded, and got out of the cart.

Xiang Yunjin was savoring the bitter taste in his mouth. He didn't want to savor it, but unfortunately the taste seemed to stick in his mouth and would not fade away for a while, causing the tip of his tongue to feel numb.

After feeding the medicine, she no longer had to worry about him for the time being, and Gulan prepared to enter the woods. This time they changed direction. The forest behind the ruined temple was traversed by all the creatures. Even if there were still some that could be found, they were scared away.

There were obviously fewer traces of footsteps in this direction, and the deeper into the woods they went, the fewer traces there were. With AnAn, the lucky little star around, they soon found a few pheasants, and they were lucky enough to catch them all. The little guy's eyes lit up with joy. The following time was also fruitful. Every time the little guy was the first to discover, which made Gulan believe more and more that her son's luck was better than hers.

In fact, even though the little guy had a bad fate in his previous life and lost his life at a young age, for a little five-year-old child to survive the famine must have been very lucky. I'm afraid the little guy was really implicated by the fairy who reincarnated and experienced tribulations.

Since there were so many of them and her son didn't pay attention to them, Gulan took the opportunity to collect a few of them into the space. Soon the basket on her back was filled with all kinds of things.

Gulan was still thinking about making medicinal food. The basket was already full, so there was no need to stay any longer and she pulled her son back. There was still some time before noon, so the mother and son were not in a hurry and walked back leisurely. As they walked, Gulan answered all kinds of strange questions from her son.

Why is the sunlight golden? Why does he grow so slowly? Why is the rabbit so small but can run so fast... Why...?

This is the incarnation of a hundred thousand whys!.

These questions really stumped Gulan. She racked her brains to fool her son, and then told him that he must read more in the future and that he could find the answers to these questions in books. Although the questions were strange and difficult to answer, Gulan was very happy because they meant that her son was becoming more lively and cheerful, and more like a child of his age.

"Mom, can AnAn also go to school in the future?" When talking about studying, a light of hope appeared in AnAn's eyes.

"Of course, how could my son be an illiterate and reckless man?" Gulan squatted down and looked at her son seriously.

"Son, when we settle down, I will send you to school. We must not only study, but also study well. I don't ask you to bring honor to our family, but only to become wise, to broaden your horizons, to cultivate character and to become a cultured person. Do you understand?"

As for the little guy's ancestors, Gulan was not interested at all, and she didn't want him to bring honor to the family. It is better to not have ancestors who can abandon such a young child in a dilapidated temple than to have such ancestors.

If nothing unexpected happens, she will change her son's surname to Gu, and he will have no relationship with the Ji family from then on.

AnAn looked at his mother in confusion, nodded and then shook his head. He only understood that studying was good, but he was confused about what it meant.

"It's okay, you are still young. If you don't understand now, you will slowly understand when you grow up. There is no need to rush." ​​Gulan touched her son's face lovingly, very gently.

"Be good!" Gulan stood up and was about to pull his son when she suddenly heard a loud shout.

"Get out of the way..." There was panic in his voice, and it was obvious that he did not expect that there would be someone on this road.

In a flash, Gulan flew to the side with her son in her arms, avoiding the collision at the last moment. The carriage that almost hit the mother and son slid for dozens of meters before it was stopped.

The driver was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He never expected that there would be someone in such a remote forest. It was also his fault that he was in a hurry to go back and drove too fast, so he failed to control the carriage in the first place. Fortunately, there is no problem between this father and son, otherwise he really doesn't know what to do.

After taking a breath, the driver quickly jumped off the coach and came to Gulan with a guilty look on his face. He apologized right away, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all my fault for driving too fast, are you guys okay?"

Although the man dodged in time, it was a fact that he almost hit someone. He was very nervous and didn't dare to look directly at the person in front of him. He also saw the man's quick agility in dodging the carriage while holding the child. With that kind of skill, he was not able to handle it. The driver's face became even uglier when he thought about the possibility of losing money.

He just hope this isn't someone who takes things too seriously, otherwise…sigh…

The driver's good attitude made Gulan look a little better. The situation just now was fine for her, but AnAn was scared, and the little guy's face is still pale. Gulan glanced at the driver unhappily, stroked her son's back and said softly, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

She repeated this several times, and only when she found her son's breathing had stabilized did she look at the middle-aged man standing in front of her.

If she didn't have a son, this matter wouldn't be a big deal. As long as the driver was nice, she wasn't prepared to be unreasonable. But now she had to say a few words.

This is what happens when you meet her. If you meet an ordinary person, you will definitely bump into him. If you don't have time to avoid him, you will be trampled on. How can this person be safe?

Thinking of this, Gulan's expression became even more serious, and he looked like someone who was not someone he was going to mess with.

"Should you apologize? Although there is no one here, it is obvious that you were distracted while driving. Otherwise, how could we, father and son, not notice it in advance and not be able to control the carriage in time?" There was a hint of coldness in the hoarse and low voice. Gulan looked at the driver, and her sharp eyes made him break out in a cold sweat.

What he said was indeed true, and the driver did regret it. Because of my employer, I stayed in the woods until very late yesterday. It was difficult to walk at night, so I simply rested in the woods. Although there was a fire burning, it was deep in the forest, the night was dark and there were some unusual movements from time to time. The driver was inevitably a little nervous and did not get a good rest the whole night.This was also the main reason why he was distracted, because he yawned several times in succession and did not see the father and son. The driver was so ashamed that he could only keep apologizing, "I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."

Seeing the attitude of the coachman, Gulan's anger had almost subsided. Just when she was about to say forget it, the words coming from the carriage made her eyes turn cold.

"Coachman, he's fine, why bother talking to him?" A man walked out of the carriage and looked at Gulan unhappily, "He just wants to extort some money, right?"

"Heh…" Gulan sneered. The world is indeed so big that there are all kinds of top-quality things.
