Chapter 165 - 165: Familiar Things
He Yufeng smiled and patted their heads. “Both of you are helping by staying at home. Otherwise, if we go out, there won’t be anyone at home to look after the house.”
He Qingyao tilted his head and thought for a moment before saying, “Why don’t you let my brother stay at home? I’ll go with you.”
This was a good idea. He could go along and help without worrying that there was no one at home. It was really killing two birds with one stone.
When He Qingmu heard this, he immediately protested, “No, no, I want to go too!”
He didn’t want to be left at home!
He Qingmu shouted, “No, no, I want to go too.”
He Qingyao persuaded, “You can go next time. This time, I’ll go with Father first. It’s fair for each of us to go once.”
He Qingmu said unhappily, “I don’t agree. If we want to go, we’ll all go together. ”
Who knew when the next time would be!
He was not that stupid!
He Yufeng watched as they argued endlessly and said with a smile, “Stop arguing. You’re all staying at home to watch over the house.”
The two children would not be able to do anything even if they went. They might as well stay at home and watch over the house. It would be troublesome even if they went.
He Qingyao and He Qingmu pouted and said, “Alright then. We will wait for you at home with Riceball.”
He Yufeng patted their heads and turned to He Dahai. “Brother Dahai, I have something on. I won’t accompany you for now!”
He Dahai said, “If you have something to do, go ahead. I’m going to work too.”
He Yufeng thought for a moment and took a stick in the corner of the courtyard before walking out of the door.
He Dahai watched as He Yufeng left and turned to leave.
He Qingyao and He Qingmu stared at He Yufeng’s back. Riceball also wanted to follow him out, but He Qingmu grabbed the back of its neck.
“Riceball, where are you going? Stay at home with us.”
Riceball looked at He Qingmu unhappily. He didn’t want to stay at home. He wanted to play on the mountain.
He Qingmu carried Riceball into the courtyard, looking like he was going to watch it closely today.
He couldn’t go up the mountain, and no one else could, especially Riceball. He
had gone up the mountain with his mother just now, which made him envious and jealous.
He Qingyao took out his book and said with a serious expression, “Since we can’t go, we’ll study at home.”
He Qingmu: “…” What kind of sin did he commit? If he had known earlier, he would have let his brother follow their father up the mountain!
Riceball: “…” There was no longer any hope for its life.
He Qingmu had no choice and was forced to start studying.
Listening to the crisp sound of the two of them reading, Riceball began to doze off.
Riceball rolled its eyes and had an idea. It sneaked out when He Qingyao and He Qingmu were not paying attention.
He Yufeng followed Su Li’s directions and found the place. When he went over, Su Li was leaning against a tree and eating fruits with a smug expression.
Su Li saw He Yufeng and threw the fruit core in her hand to the side. “You’re here.”
He Yufeng nodded at her and sized her up before asking, “Are you alright?” Although he knew that Su Li was fine, he could not help but ask.
Su Li shook her head and said, “What can happen to me? I’m just a passerby who happened to bump into him!”
If this person hadn’t grabbed her foot, she definitely wouldn’t have interfered in today’s matter.
He Yufeng glanced at the ground and saw the man lying on the ground covered in blood.
“Is this the guy you saved?”
Su Li nodded and said, “Yes, I met him when I was going down the mountain. I thought that saving a life was better than building a seven-story pagoda, so I saved him.”
Hearing this, He Yufeng did not say anything else. Since she wanted to save him, so be it!
He Yufeng bent down and carried the man on his back.
Su Li said, “Can you do it? Do you need me to carry him together with you?”
He Yufeng’s face darkened. This woman actually asked if he could do it?
Didn’t she know if he could do it or not?
When Su Li saw his expression change, she felt a little puzzled. Indeed, a man’s heart was like a needle at the bottom of the sea. You could never guess it.
Su Li said, “You can do it yourself if you want!”
If there was no need for her to carry him. She could save herself the trouble.
At this moment, Riceball ran up from the foot of the mountain. It circled around Su Li’s feet excitedly.
“Riceball, why are you here again?” Su Li asked.
How could Su Li not know what it was thinking? She praised it generously,
“Riceball, you’re awesome. You sent the letter back for me.”
Riceball raised its head proudly. Of course, it was the best. It ran faster than anyone else and was especially good at remembering the way. Perhaps there was no puppy in the world that was better than him.
He Yufeng couldn’t stand Riceball’s smug expression and exposed him mercilessly. “It lost the letter you gave me. It was sent back by Brother Dahai.” He just couldn’t stand the way this dog asked for praise.
Riceball: “…” Don’t hit people in the face, don’t expose their shortcomings!
Su Li smiled and said, “Let’s go quickly!”
“Okay!”
He Yufeng carried the man down the mountain. Fortunately, he often carried prey in the past. Carrying this man was simply a piece of cake.
At this moment, something fell from the man’s body.
Neither Su Li nor He Yufeng noticed it. Instead, Riceball, who was at the back, saw it.
It looked at the familiar thing and cried out excitedly.
“Woof woof-”
Su Li turned around in confusion. “Riceball, what’s wrong?”
Riceball bit the small token and walked towards Su Li.
Su Li reached out to take it. Riceball immediately let go and a small token fell into her palm.
Su Li looked at the thing in her palm and was stunned. Wasn’t this the token Zeng Qing had taken from her last time?
Why was it on this person? Could it be that there was a relationship between them?
It could be seen that Zeng Qing valued this token very much last time. Otherwise, he would not have specially come to her to ask for it.
When He Yufeng saw Su Li squatting on the ground without moving, he asked,
“What’s wrong? Is there a problem?”
Why did this thing look so familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before? He Yufeng thought for a moment but could not remember where he had seen it before.
Su Li held the token in her hand and stood up with a smile. “There’s no problem. It’s just a small toy.”
He Yufeng looked at Su Li deeply. He had a feeling that Su Li was hiding something from him.
Su Li said as if nothing had happened, “Let’s go down the mountain quickly. Otherwise, I’m afraid this person won’t be able to make it.”
He Yufeng nodded and replied, “Okay!”
They did not encounter anyone on the way down the mountain, but just as they reached the foot of the mountain, Su Li saw Madam Luo walking up the mountain.
Su Li said to He Yufeng, “Hurry up and hide with him.”
Madam Luo was not a good person. If she saw this person covered in blood, she would definitely go around spouting nonsense. She did not want to cause trouble.
He Yufeng understood what Su Li meant, so he quickly carried someone and found a place to hide. He often went up the mountain and had hunting experience, so his hiding ability was still good.
Madam Luo was on her way to cut ragweed when she saw Su Li and Riceball. She pursed her lips in disdain. Originally, she was not walking in Su Li’s direction, but after seeing Su Li, she decided to change her route..
