Chapter 443: Chapter 443: Gradually Forgetting the Past Chapter 443: Chapter 443: Gradually Forgetting the Past The elderly couple planned to sell it cheaply, but no one was willing to move to the village, so it remained unsold.

Then King of Film Xu bought it.

That was it, he moved in with his family and from then on, settled in the village.

Some people sneakily glanced at Gu Yixing. Despite having his face blackened, his handsome, compelling presence couldn’t be hidden.

“Who is that young man, and does he have a partner?”

“Oh, that young man is Little Xu’s brother. He does have a partner; they’re even discussing marriage. It’s just that the woman has put it off because he’s unemployed and unambitious. Once he finds a job, they’ll probably get married.”

“This young man is unemployed? Tsk, he’s a lazy man?”

King of Film Xu chuckled, “The ‘lazy’ label, you can’t shake it off.”

Gu Yixing shrugged, “As long as they don’t try to set me up with anyone, being a lazy man is fine!”

Cheng Lu was really into her role, already blending in with the village women, chatting warmly with them.

Gu Yixing raised an eyebrow: “Her social skills aren’t bad.”

King of Film Xu laughed and shook his head: “She’s playing the part of a farmer’s wife, totally immersed.”

Gu Yixing didn’t quite understand why the production team arranged it this way, why bother with all this disguise, hiding their real names, as if they were filming a TV drama.

Little Taotie and Xiao Lingzhi were surrounded by a group of village children.

A little boy asked, “Are you guys really twins?”

Xiao Lingzhi nodded, “Of course! I’m the big brother!”

Little Taotie remained silent.

She didn’t want to lie.

Seeing that Little Taotie was not talkative, everyone started bombarding Xiao Lingzhi with questions.

Xiao Lingzhi was a little smart aleck, unreserved, skilled in the art of lying from a young age, he spun one fabrication after another.

“Have you really flown on an airplane?”

“Flying in the sky, weren’t you scared?”

“Have you ever been on a train?”

The children asked incessantly about the world outside the village.

The youngest among them was just three years old, and the oldest, only seven, having lived in the village since birth, with their farthest journey being to the town. They hadn’t even been on a train, let alone an airplane.

Xiao Lingzhi was shocked, feeling a bit sorry for them since they had never been on a train.

Xiao Lingzhi lifted his chin, beginning to boast about his life outside.

Little Taotie listened with her head tilted.

In fact, before leaving the mountain village, she, like these children, had never been on a train, much less an airplane.

She thought that if it were her former self, she would be as curious as these children, asking endless questions about the world outside.

Little Taotie was somewhat lost in thought.

The past year’s experiences had gradually made her forget the life in the mountains, forget Zhang Cuilian who would often hit her, forget the disdainful looks from the villagers…

She raised her head, gazing in the direction of the village entrance.

After Xiao Lingzhi exaggerated his boasting, earning admiration and envy from the village children, he proudly lifted his little chin, turned around, and noticed Little Taotie daydreaming, her big eyes vacant and unfocused.

Xiao Lingzhi tapped her, “What are you thinking about?”

Little Taotie snapped back, “I was thinking… if we could build an airport here.”

“… Why would you want to build an airport here?”

“Then they could fly on airplanes.”

“… Just take them out to fly on airplanes, building an airport is too troublesome!”

“On our way here, I saw that we have to go very far, far away to see an airport.”

Xiao Lingzhi thought the topic was boring, feeling that Little Taotie must be too bored to be thinking about such boring and unrealistic things, and dragged her to the river.

“They say there are lots of fish in the river, and the water is very shallow. They usually go fishing by hand! Let’s go fishing too!”
