"Okay, I've finished picking the herbs, do you have anything else to do?" She carefully put an herb in her basket and raised her head and asked.
"No, let's go back." Ye Wu shook his head.
He originally went into the mountains to see if there were any wild animals that he could take back and share with everyone.
I didn't encounter any of them along the way, but there was no need to look for them. After all, everyone was not short of food.
The two began to turn back.
The mountain road was already a bit difficult to walk on. After all, it had just snowed and it melted again, so there was ice on the ground.
Chen Xiaoyu was worried in her heart. After Ye Wu said those words, she believed the voice. It must be that the family members who competed with Ye Wu for the family property wanted to kill Ye Wu.
Yushan's geography is special, but that doesn't mean they can't find it.
She secretly made up her mind that no matter what she said, she would not let anything happen to Ye Wu.
I just don’t know the identity of that voice. It’s a woman’s voice.
Because she was thinking about this, she didn't pay attention to her steps. After stepping on a round stone, Chen Xiaoyu fell straight to the ground.
"Ah!" She exclaimed subconsciously.
Ye Wu quickly pulled her and brought her whole body into his arms.
Chen Xiaoyu also subconsciously hugged Ye Wu's waist.
After standing firm, both of them realized that their movements were slightly ambiguous, and they were so stiff that they didn't know whether to let go.
After a while, Ye Wu still asked stiffly: "Are you okay?"
Hearing the boy's voice, the girl immediately took a step back and left his arms, but there was a pain in her ankle, which made her almost fall down again.
Ye Wu quickly helped her up.
"Is your ankle sprained?" He squatted down to check on her condition.
Chen Xiaoyu didn't know if it was because she had made her feelings clear, but she became a little nervous, not wanting Ye Wu to see her injury.
"I'm fine. It's too cold outside. Let's talk about it when we get back."
"Yes, then I will carry you." Ye Wu also thought of this, and then squatted in front of Chen Xiaoyu with his back to her.
After Chen Xiaoyu felt a little embarrassed, she lay on his back.
Ye Wu walked very steadily, and it did not change just because there was one more person. Chen Xiaoyu even felt that she could hear Ye Wu's heartbeat, or maybe her own heartbeat.
As the two of them walked on the mountain road, they felt a little quiet and beautiful.
When the two of them returned to the village entrance, many villagers saw the two of them.
Seeing that it was Ye Wu who was carrying Chen Xiaoyu back, everyone immediately showed meaningful smiles.
The village chief even waved to them both.
"You two come here."
The village chief called the two of them aside.
Chen Xiaoyu was a little embarrassed and asked Ye Wu to put him down.
"Grandpa Village Chief, what do you want from us?" Chen Xiaoyu asked.
The village chief smiled and touched his beard, looking at them kindly, and both of them felt very satisfied.
"Xiaoyu, you know, we are going to host the sacrifices at the Empress Temple this year."
Chen Xiaoyu nodded, fearing that Ye Wuwu would know, so he said: "Every year there is a sacrifice and blessing event at the Empress Temple, and all the villagers in Yushan will participate. Each village takes turns, and this year it is our turn."
"Yes, offering sacrifices and praying for blessings is actually quite simple, but it requires a golden boy and a beautiful girl. I originally thought of letting Old Liu and Old Wang's grandchildren work together."
"But, since I have Ye Wu this year, I think you two will be the golden boy and girl."
Chen Xiaoyu's cheeks immediately turned red, and she lowered her head and nodded shyly.
"Where are you, Ye Wu?" The village chief looked at Ye Wu.
"Okay, I have no problem." Ye Wudao.
Chen Xiaoyu's eyes suddenly lit up, she glanced at him quickly and lowered her head again.
The smile on the village chief's face also deepened a lot.
"Okay, let Xiao Yu explain the process to you. We will go together when the temple fair starts."
In fact, the overall sacrificial process of the temple fair is also very simple.
Chen Xiaoyu quickly finished telling Ye Wu.
"Actually, it's still early. There's still a month left. Don't worry. We are mainly preparing things now."
As she spoke, her eyes drifted towards Ye Wu.
In fact, what she didn't say was that the grandson of the old Liu family and the granddaughter of the old Wang family were engaged, and the golden boys and girls in previous years were also lovers.
The golden boy and the beautiful girl were chosen, and the two of them were soon known to everyone in the village.
No one was surprised by this result.
It was just that the eyes he looked at the two of them occasionally became even more teasing.
Ye Wu originally didn't know that the candidates for the golden boy and girl would be two lovers.
It was Chen Daliang who pulled him aside.
"Ye Wu, although I do appreciate you." Chen Daliang looked at the young man in front of him with complex eyes.
"But you must also know that my sister is only fifteen this year. After the sixteenth year of the New Year, our family plans to let her wait until she is eighteen before getting married."
Ye Wu listened to his words and was a little confused. He didn't know why Chen Daliang suddenly said such words.
"Ahem, so even though I have chosen you two to be the golden boy and girl this time, and everyone knows that you two are interested in each other, I still hope you can wait another two years."
Ye Wuwenyan suddenly realized that no wonder everyone in the village looked at him so strangely recently, and Li Yan was especially complicated and full of resentment.
There was also some redness on his face.
"I know...I...I must be following her wishes."
Ye Wu was also a little embarrassed. After he finished speaking, he felt a little uncomfortable.
I kept listening to Wang Defu from a distance, and I felt relieved all of a sudden.
He waggled his tail happily and walked away.
Sure enough, my son has become enlightened and is doing well. He can talk about marriage in one step.
In another two years, maybe there will be children to play with.
He took a look around. Because the annual meeting was approaching, the village was gradually decorated with lights. Red lanterns were hung in every house. People also started to put on new clothes, and their faces were beaming with joy.
of.
Wang Defu felt even more wonderful.
He respects Ye Wu's choice, this place is indeed a good place.
It had been snowing for the three days before the temple fair, and the village chief was a little worried that the heavy snow would affect the sacrifices.
But when everyone was about to go out on the second day, the snow stopped.
This made everyone happier, which was a good sign.
In addition, their village has prepared a lot of things this year, and they should be able to live well in the next year. Who knows, it will be better every year in the future.
There are beautiful expectations for the day, and the smiles on everyone's faces are getting brighter.
Ye Wu put on the special clothes that a golden boy needs to wear, and stood in front of everyone a little uncomfortable.
