Chapter 1293 Living Like a Dog
Through two lifetimes, Gougou only felt motherly love from Aunt Mengyu. He desperately wanted to hold on to this little bit of maternal affection. So, he immediately knelt down, knocking his head three times on the ground in front of Mengyu and then raised his voice to call out, "Godmother!"
This title of godmother, he had wanted to call her in his previous life. This lifetime, he finally fulfilled his wish.
Mengyu felt both amused and sore at heart; how desperately lacking in love he must have been to hold onto her and call her godmother. She sighed and helped him stand up, wiped away his tears: "Alright, you are my godson from now on. Godmother will never abandon you. You can safely stay here."
Gougou nodded vigorously: "Okay, I will listen to Godmother. I will wait at home for Godmother to come and get me."
Mengyu inwardly smiled wryly; if Gu Dongxing knew she went to Tiger Valley and came back with a godson, would he blame her?
Nonetheless, Gougou was a good child, and it was critical that she discovered Taoyuan Space through him. Not knowing this would be one thing, but knowing it, she felt she must bear this causality.
In the future, she would do her best to nurture this child and give him a great opportunity.
Affectionately, Mengyu helped him tuck the Hundred Treasure Bag into his clothes, so that it couldn’t be seen from outside, and repeatedly instructed: "The things in this bag can stay fresh for years without spoiling. Whatever good things you have, feel free to put them in here. Remember, don’t let anyone see it, or they’ll snatch your Hundred Treasure Bag."
Gougou was delighted: So, this palm-sized little bag is called the Hundred Treasure Bag.
"Alright, I will definitely not speak recklessly." He wasn’t really a three-year-old kid; the treasure Godmother gave him was something he would protect at all costs.
Afraid that he wouldn’t have anything to eat these days, yet worried that if she gave him food, others might snatch it away, she had no choice but to give him this Hundred Treasure Bag. Fortunately, she had won millions of Essence Value, and a small treasure bag only cost ten thousand Essence Value, so she didn’t mind spending it to give one to him, filled with food.
Concerned he might eat everything inside fearing it would spoil, she also explained the bag’s preservation function.
Upon hearing that this thing could keep food fresh for several years, Gougou was even more astounded. Luckily Mengyu didn’t pay much attention, or she might have noticed something amiss.
Gougou’s place wasn’t inside the house but rather in a little straw hut next to the house’s big wall, surrounded by bamboo mats with straw hanging over them, and the ground was simply a nest made of straw.
Thankfully, this hut was nestled between two houses, sheltering it from the east and west winds, with a pile of grass to the north, which barely blocked the draft.
Following Gougou into his hut, Mengyu’s eyes felt sorrowful; the adoptive parents Ms. Zhong really were heartless, using the excuse of bedwetting at night to let him sleep here.
The "blanket" in the nest was a clump of dusty black cotton, here ripped and there torn, unable to cover the body completely.
Mengyu took out a sleeping bag she had sewn herself and let him burrow inside, revealing only his head. Gougou felt that today was the warmest day of his life.
Once Gougou was sound asleep, Mengyu finally emerged, heading towards Pi Yuhua’s house — she couldn’t resist finding out why she was back at Tiger Valley when clearly she had been rescued.
Pi Yuhua’s family was having dinner in the main room, while Pi Yuhua ate by the stove door, eating the leftovers from lunch.
Mountain folks usually work from dawn to dusk; therefore, breakfast and dinner are the main meals, while lunch is called a snack meant only to supplement, typically consisting of a few boiled sweet potatoes or taro.
At this moment, Pi Yuhua was eating the leftover sweet potatoes from noon at the stove door.
