Chapter 663: Abandoned Son - Hegemony (27)
Two months later, halfway up the mountain where Linyun Mountain and Huai River meet...
"Mom, is it okay today? It's been thirty-six round trips." Gu Renyuan wiped the sweat from his forehead, held the pointed bucket in both hands, and poured the water in it into the well.
"Mine is enough!" Gu Hongdao also said with a smile.
"Woof woof woof!" A black puppy wagged its tail and barked at the person standing by the well.
The blue and purple budgies on the pomegranate vines sang: "The little master has spoken, the little master has spoken!"
"You little idiot, you little bastard!" Gu Renyuan cursed, holding a bucket as if he was going to slap the two traitors flying in front of him away.
Looking at the woman who seemed to be smiling under the shade of the tree, Gu Renyuan and Gu Hongdao's faces changed. They stared at the chattering parrot on the pomegranate tree and held the buckets tightly in their hands.
Under a huge camellia tree, a woman with a fresh and elegant face, charming but not vulgar, was lying on a rocking bamboo chair. She simply tied up her thick black hair with a jade hairpin, without any other jewelry to decorate her hair, but she looked like an immortal.
The light blue gauze was embroidered with a few small magnolias, and the patterned blue belt outlined her slender waist. When the breeze blew, the jade tassel hanging around the woman's waist swayed a few times.
She glanced at the parrot in the tree and leisurely put tea leaves into the teapot that had just boiled.
At this time, she glanced at the children carrying buckets next to the two wells, and said with her red lips: "If you don't complete the task, keep talking. Add four more times to make it an even number."
Gu Hong said: "Mother, let's give you a discount..."
"Fifteen times that, eight more."
Gu Hongdao was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and no longer dared to discuss the matter. He could only resign himself to picking up the bucket again and following Gu Renyuan who had already walked out of the yard.
Seeing that the child had left, the woman put down the teaspoon and stroked the purple lilies beside her. There were also red leaves and green flowers, green leaves and red flowers. There was a dazed look in her eyes.
Six years ago, Ke Tu planned to kill her, but Wu Chengyin showed up halfway. In the end, she changed her strategy and faked her death again.
In this world, she faked her death twice, and each time was thrilling. However, because she cast excessive spells on Bai Heqi and the others, she was punished by three thunders from the heaven of this small world.
Originally, she could enter the space to recuperate for a few days and then recover as before, but she was pregnant and felt that her remaining days in this world would be boring, so she could only wait for a few more months.
This was delayed again and again, and by the time she gave birth, her body was already very weak. She was afraid that no one would take care of the child, so she had no choice but to bring the child into the space.
There are robots taking care of the children in the space. After sleeping for a year, when she woke up again, the two children had become intelligent with the help of the treasures in the space, and they would call her mother.
After taking the one-year-old child out of the space, Gu Yuxi started to live a life of leisure and leisure. When he was bored, he would go down the mountain for a walk as Xuwuzi. This went on for four years.
Three months ago, two little ghosts broke the alchemy furnace she had carried with her for hundreds of thousands of years. She was angry and cursed a few words, then left them at the door of her house to reflect on her mistakes. However, she didn't expect that the two troublesome kids would go down the mountain again.
In the past, when she asked where they had been, the two brothers would actively tell her, but this time they didn't! Gu Yuxi was worried that the two of them had provoked someone they shouldn't have provoked, or had committed a heinous crime.
The stalemate continued, so Gu Yuxi punished the two brothers by making them fetch water from the river thirty-six times a day to the well in the yard.
This went on for more than a month, but the two brothers were too tight-lipped and didn't say a word even after being beaten several times.
Gu Yuxi stood up, walked to the cabinet of the stove, and filled a bowl with flour...
The two Gu brothers were followed by two parrots. They just glanced at them irritably, cursed them as "traitors" again in their hearts, went down the stone stairs and walked through the azalea grove.
The two men walked about a thousand steps at a very fast speed. When they reached the river, they gently lifted their hands into the water.
"Woo! Far away the master's water is not full."
Gu Renyuan glared at the two troublesome parrots fiercely, but when he turned around he saw the mocking eyes of his brother. The other party had already started to walk back quickly, and the purple parrot had already followed him away.
"Hurry up, hurry up!" the blue parrot Xiaoben reminded.
Gu Renyuan resigned himself to his fate and put the bucket into the river again. He lifted up the full bucket of water, paused, and casually looked at the woods by the river.
"Full, full!"
Seeing two children carrying water heavier than themselves up the stone steps, the two men in black in the woods asked, "Could it be those two children?"
"The portrait was personally given by Lord Heiyi, so it can't be wrong. Besides, what kind of child would lift such heavy water and walk so fast without even taking a breath?"
"Were we discovered just now? Everyone said that those two young masters were very clever, and their martial arts skills almost tricked their father."
"Watch carefully, the prince and his men will be here soon."
After four trips back and forth, Gu Renyuan poured the last bucket of water into the well. After placing the buckets neatly beside him, he wiped the sweat off his face and walked over to the dough-making woman and said, "Mother, everything is ready. The buckets are neatly placed."
"Yes, my Yuan'er is the best. Let's wash him."
"Mother, you have been carrying water for forty-nine days. Can you do something else?"
"I see. I'll think about it."
"Mom, mom, you've done it, and I love you the most." The boy shook Gu Yuxi's arm and rubbed it.
"Go to the bathroom and take a shower first. Don't sweat all over or you'll catch a cold."
"The child will be back soon."
Gu Renyuan let the woman wipe his sweat with a handkerchief, and smiled as he carried the clothes that had been prepared on the table into a small steamy room...
By the time Gu Renyuan came out of the shower, Gu Hongdao had also drawn enough water and was now acting coquettishly in his mother's arms.
"Mom, I'm not tired, not at all. Look how strong I am. It's no problem for me to kill a few cows."
"You just want to brag, or don't you?"
"My brother and I didn't get into any trouble. We just went to a boring place. There's nothing much to say."
"Are you telling the truth?" The woman and the child looked at each other. Seeing the other's evasive eyes, she smiled knowingly.
Seeing this, Gu Renyuan hurried over and said with a smile, "Mom, I'm done."
Glancing at Gu Hongdao next to him, he pinched his nose and said disdainfully: "Fifteen, you should go take a shower. This sweaty stink is bothering your mother."
"Is there?" Gu Hongdao raised his hand and smelled it.
"Yes, go quickly!" Gu Renyuan said as he pushed his brother towards the bathroom and considerately handed him clean clothes.
Turning back again and looking at his mother's indifferent expression, Gu Renyuan smiled and said, "Mom, there are bugs at the foot of the mountain, should we..."
"Did Yuaner see it clearly?"
Gu Renyuan nodded, but Gu Yuxi smiled and said, "This is too tiring, Yuaner, you should take a rest."
"Mother, I'm not tired at all."
"Is that so? Then go to the backyard and pick a ripe watermelon from the field and place it in the well. Then go and kill the bugs when you have time."
"I understand, mother."
"Remember, don't be too cruel. It's better for children to be natural. They are just bugs."
"Yes!"
The little figure walked towards the backyard with brisk steps...
