Chapter 122: Gong Tianhao Entering the Village

Translator: Lonelytree

Li Yuanhang and Gong Tianhao were driving to Taoyuan Village. They frowned as they studied the road, which got increasingly remote.

“Tianhao, this road is full of potholes. It’s so hard for cars to navigate.” Li Yuanhang said, “The condition here is very bad. It’ll be torture for the old master to come and leave here every time.”

“Park the car!” Gong Tianhao order. Li Yuanhang parked the car, and both of them got down.

“Ah!” Li Yuanhang wasn’t paying attention, and he stepped on cow dung. Looking at his pair of leather shoes which were stained with cow dung, Li Yuanhang wanted to cry. He turned to Gong Tianhao. “Tianhao, this place is too remote and dirty. Are you sure we can send the old master here?”

Gong Tianhao’s lips curled coldly, seeing his friend’s ruined shoes. “But look at the beautiful scenery! The traffic condition is not so good, but the place is perfect for grandfather’s recovery!”

Li Yuanhang said with despair. “Are you sure?”

Gong Tianhao nodded. “Yes!”

“Fine, if you say so.” Li Yuanhang looked around and saw a small stream not far away, “Tianhao, wait for me. I’ll go wash up in that stream! This is too smelly. It’ll kill me if I don’t wash this off.” Li Yuanhang had a bit of obsession with cleanliness.

“I’ll go with you!” They jumped down from the roadside into the field. It was seeding season. The field had been plowed and filled with water.

Some of the fields already had paddy seedlings in them. They were growing and taking root. Some looked yellow and dwarfed, but in a few days, they would grow tall and strong.

Li Yuanhang looked at the seedlings in the field and asked, “Tianhao, what are these?” Well, the man lived in a big city since he was young, so he had not seen a paddy seedling before.

“They look like paddy seedlings!” Gong Tianhao said with some uncertainty. This was yet another city boy.

“Paddy seeds?” Li Yuanhang asked suspiciously, “How come you sound so not confident?”

Gong Tianhao didn’t respond. He needed to maintain his aloof appearance.

Regardless, the two studied the seedlings curiously. Suddenly, Li Yuanhang pointed at a leech and said in surprise, “Tianhao, is this a leech? The kind that can suck blood?”

Gong Tianhao rolled his eyes at Li Yuanhang’s surprised look and said coldly, “Isn’t that a given? Are there leeches that don’t suck blood?”

Li Yuanhang walked for a while and saw something resembling a string of pink pearls hanging on a paddy seedling. It looked quite cute. “What is this?” He asked.

“I believe they are river snail eggs!” Gong Tianhao had a good memory. He remembered reading about them in his biology class.

“Oh, so these are river snail eggs!” Li Yuanhang gasped, “I’ve eaten river snails, but I haven’t seen their eggs! They are quite cute.” He paused and looked around. His eyes colored with contention. “Tianhao, it does seem like life here wouldn’t be so bad!” It was a pity that they couldn’t shed their responsibility and move here just like that.

“The air is naturally fresh. The mountains are beautiful, the water is clear. The birds are singing, and the flowers are blooming. This scenery can make anyone feel relaxed.” Li Yuanhang looked at the cow dung on his shoes, and he said regretfully, “It’s a pity that the traffic is so inconvenient. The cow dung along the road doesn’t help either!”
