Blissful Days After Widowhood - Chapter 210

After he finished speaking, he said, “I am the child of the hunter here. My parents said that there are no bandits on the mountain. So I got curious and came to see.”

The young man couldn’t help smiling. His appearance was not like his mother, but he was was as smart as his mother 

He said no more, and took out a small and delicate porcelain jar from his arms.

It was the seasoning jar that Chef Xu gave to Gu Yin during the Chinese New Year.

Gu Yin carried it with her every day, and she also took it with her when she was recruited into the Wen Mansion. Although the condiments in it were all poured out by the palace servants, they let her keep the porcelain jar.

After Gu Ye saw the porcelain jar, the innocent look on his face immediately faded, and he said, “Why is my mother’s stuff here with you?! I’ll kill you!”

His eyes were red, and he struggled to break free.

The young man saw that his neck was red, and he was afraid that he would hurt himself, so he immediately put him down.

“Your mother is safe.” 

The young man was not able to communicate with the child, and was thinking about how to explain the situation to him.

But the child suddenly calmed down and said, “Yes, this is something unique to my mother. If she didn’t tell you, even if you do something to her, you won’t take this, and you still know my name.”

The young man was slightly surprised, nodded and said, “It is true.”

Gu Ye sat down on the big rock next to him and asked, “Are you my mother’s friend? How is she now?”

That young and mature manner was what Gu Ye originally looked like, and the young man chuckled again and said, “She is still in charge of cooking. Now she is in the kitchen with two other cooks, and the situation is not bad. She was worried about you, so she gave me this.”

Gu Ye turned his face and wiped his eyes with the back of his hands, but in the end he couldn’t wipe it clean, so he put the hood of his cloak over his head, and asked in an angry voice, “I know mother didn’t want me to come. But I was also worried about her and wanted to do something for her.”

Gu Ye used to think that he was amazing. When other children would only cry, he would be alone outside to make a living. Later, when he met his mother and his grandmother, he could help them again. In less than a year, he became the king of children in the town.

But that time, the storm let him know that he was useless. He couldn’t even keep his own mother.

What if he grew up a bit more? Like the person in front of him, pretending to be deaf and mute and sneaking in was better than being out in a hurry and unable to do anything.

The young man didn’t think much of him at first, but at that time, when he put on the hood, only his small straight nose and pointed chin were revealed. That looked very familiar, but he couldn’t remember who he looked like for a while.

Should be like his mother.

Seeing the child in front of him trembling slightly, apparently suppressing his crying, he reached out and patted Gu Ye’s shoulder, “I’ll help her escape, don’t worry.”

Gu Ye nodded. There was no doubt about the person’s ability in front of him, and his mother was quite accurate in seeing people. Since she would ask him for help, she must believe him.

“I’ll help you,” he said nasally after nodding his head. “What do you need me to do? I can do anything.”

In the past, when he was in the Wen Mansion, the young man could not get in touch with his companions, but it was different when he arrived on that mountain. The place was big, and there were always places that the guards could not patrol, and he also had a reason to go in and out, which made it a lot more convenient.

“No need, your mother wants to let you stay at home.”

Gu Ye burst into laughter and said, “Then I’ll wait for you here next time.”

Saying that, he jumped off the big rock, turned around and waved, “Thank you, Ugly Uncle.”

He was really an unruly child. No wonder his mother was begging for him in a hurry.

After trotting two steps, Gu Ye thought of something and tore off a small piece from the cloak, “Please bring this to my mother. Tell her not to miss me too much.”

Although he would be searched when entering and exiting the checkpoint, a small piece of cloth could still be hidden. The young man stuffed the finger-sized cloth into his hair.

The two separated, and the young man resumed his walking posture of one high and one low. Before leaving, Gu Ye suddenly said, “Uncle, you didn’t seem to be lame just now.”

The young man paused for a while, and then heard him grinning again, “I lied to you, this time I’m really going.”

Gu Ye lowered his body and disappeared in the bushes like a swift rabbit on that foggy rainy day.
