Chapter 109 Are You Hungry?
"There is a flight to a foreign country at 8 o'clock tonight! Hurry up and finish your meal, pack your things, we are about to leave!" Liu Lanfen urged anxiously.
After hearing this, Gu Xiting hurriedly finished his dinner and quickly packed his luggage.
Afterwards, he followed Liu Lanfen into the car and went to the airport together, ready to embark on this anticipated journey.
As soon as he got in the car, Gu Xiting felt dizzy and fell asleep unknowingly.
When he woke up again, he found himself lying on the ground, surrounded by endless snow.
The sky was gradually shrouded in night, the darkness grew deeper, and Gu Xiting's heart was filled with boundless fear.
He struggled forward on the freezing cold snow, and every step seemed so heavy and weak.
He was like a little deer lost in the vast sea of snow, at a loss as to what to do.
Gu Xiting kept walking, and there was always no one around him, only silence and coldness accompanied him.
He tried to change direction, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't seem to find a way out.
Time passed by minute by minute, night fell completely, and the inky black sky made people feel depressed.
After a long journey, Gu Xiting was exhausted, and his body seemed to have lost all strength.
Suddenly, he vaguely felt that he had hit a huge tree.
At this moment, he could no longer hold on and could only curl up under the tree, pull his coat up, turn up the collar, and wrap it tightly around his head.
The temperature gradually dropped at night, the weather became colder, and the snowflakes fell more and more, getting bigger and bigger.
Fortunately, the big tree became his temporary shelter.
However, as time passed, a thin layer of snow began to cover Gu Xiting's body.
Occasionally, the calls of some unknown animals would come from far or near, making him tremble constantly.
He struggled in this endless darkness, and every minute was a torture.
Finally, his eyelids gradually closed, his consciousness gradually blurred, and he fell into sleep again.
When the dawn finally broke, Gu Xiting slowly opened his eyes and was shocked by the scene before him.
He was actually in an unfamiliar valley, with endless white snow in front of him and a snow-covered forest behind him.
He didn't know which direction to go and looked at the endless white world around him in confusion.
Gu Xiting could only choose a direction at random, taking cautious steps, moving forward step by step, leaving small footprints on the snow.
He didn't know how long he had been walking, nor did he know when it was, he just felt that he was getting hungrier and hungrier, and his body was getting heavier and heavier, and every step he took required a huge amount of effort.
Finally, hungry, cold, dizzy and unable to hold on any longer, his little body finally collapsed.
When he woke up again, he found himself lying on a shabby bed, covered with a thin quilt that smelled faintly of mold.
"You're awake," a sweet little girl's voice sounded in my ears.
Gu Xiting calmed himself down and looked around, and found himself in a low thatched hut. The hut was empty, with nothing else except the bed. It could be said that the house was bare.
He looked at the little girl in front of him again. She was in tattered clothes, with messy hair and a pale face, but her big eyes were bright and lively.
The little girl looked a little shorter than him, probably about the same age as him, but she looked so dirty that she looked just like a little beggar.
"Who are you? Why am I here?" Gu Xiting's heart was filled with fear. He looked at the little girl warily and asked timidly.
When the little girl saw him wake up, a happy smile appeared on her face and she said, “You fell in the snow and my father carried you back.
You have a fever and have been sleeping for a day and a night."
In the room, Gu Xiting curled up on the bed timidly, not daring to say a word.
His young face was filled with fear and helplessness, which made people feel pity for him.
"Gurgle, gurgle..." A low and familiar sound came from Gu Xiting's belly, breaking the silence in the room.
His stomach had been rumbling for a long time, telling the outside world about its hunger.
The little girl next to him stopped what she was doing after hearing the voice, turned around and asked with concern: "Are you hungry? I'll get you something to eat." Her tone was gentle, full of concern for Gu Xiting.
Gu Xiting raised his head, his eyes were a little fearful, but his eyes revealed a desire to be nourished by food.
The little girl understood Gu Xiting's eyes and hurried to the kitchen, placing a small black iron pot on the small stove.
She skillfully added a little water to the pot and waited quietly for the water to boil.
After a while, the water in the pot began to boil, making gurgling sounds.
The little girl quickly picked up a bag of corn flour and carefully poured it into the pot.
She stirred gently to allow the corn flour and boiling water to fully blend.
A strong fragrance permeates the air, making people salivate.
The little girl operated skillfully, and soon, a bowl of steaming and fragrant corn paste was cooked.
She scooped up the corn paste in an ugly porcelain bowl and carefully placed it in front of Gu Xiting.
She whispered softly, "Be careful, it's hot. Eat it quickly, or you won't be hungry anymore!"
However, when Gu Xiting saw this extremely ugly bowl, he couldn't help but wonder, how could there be such an ugly bowl in the world?
Looking at the contents of the bowl again, he had never seen such food before and didn't know if it was edible.
Faced with the food in front of him, he was hesitant and did not dare to take a bite.
"Gurgle gurgle..." Gu Xiting's stomach rumbled again.
He didn't bother to say much, he took the bowl and drank it in small sips.
The aroma of corn wafted in the air and between his lips and teeth, and soon he finished the bowl of corn paste.
A little boy of about four or five years old ran over and said, "Sister, I want one too. I want one too..."
"Okay," the little girl took another bowl and filled half of it for the little boy.
Gu Xiting ate a bowl and although he felt better, he was still very tired and fell asleep again.
It was still very cold, and there was still heavy snow outside. The little girl opened the door a crack and looked out, muttering quietly, "Why hasn't Dad come back yet?"
Then he closed the door again and sat around the small stove with his brother in his arms.
In the morning, my father originally planned to go out to his uncle's house to borrow some money for the winter, but he unexpectedly met Gu Xiting who had fainted in the snow on the way.
After carrying Gu Xiting back, he went out again.
The little girl always felt uneasy because her father had been away for a long time.
As time passed, the little girl became more and more worried.
Just as she was worried, there was a noise outside the door.
