Chapter 35: Cao Qing is dead

"Dongdongdongdongdong..." A knock on the door came, and a man's voice came: "Is Mr. Li here?"

At this moment, Li Si was shopping in the backyard, and shouted to Cao Meng, who was practicing calligraphy in the hall: "Cao Meng, go and open the door."

After hearing this, Cao Meng wiped off the water stains on the table with his sleeves, and hurried to the door and opened the door. He saw a middle-aged man in strong clothes outside, and couldn't help but shout, "Uncle Ronaldo, you are here to find a sir."

The young man standing outside was also a hunter from Fengmen County, named Luo Ye, and most of them had contact with his family, so Cao Meng naturally knew him.

When Luo Ye saw Cao Meng, he opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he didn't say it in the end. He looked at Cao Meng with a little dodging look.

"Well, can Mr. Li be at home?" Luo Ye then ignored Cao Meng and looked into the door.

"Oh, sir, he is here." Cao Meng was a little stunned. He felt that Robert was a little strange today.

"Brother Luo, what are you asking for me?" Li Si wiped his wet hands with a sweat towel and looked at Luo Ye with some confusion.

When Luo Ye saw Li Si, his lips twitched, then looked at Cao Meng beside him, and hesitated: "It is not convenient to talk here, can we talk alone?"

Seeing Luo Ye's attitude, Li Si's heart skipped a beat and immediately had some expectations for what would happen next.

So he smiled at Luo Ye and said, "Is it the thing I told you yesterday? I happened to talk to you too."

Luo Ye was stunned, then nodded and replied: "Yes."

Seeing Luo Ye reacting so quickly, Li Si breathed a sigh of relief and said to Cao Meng beside him: "I still lack some onions and garlic in this dish, please buy me some."

Cao Meng's eyes looked at the two of them, and the suspicion in his eyes gradually faded, and then he replied: "Okay, sir."

After saying that, he went out.

"Is it something wrong with Brother Cao?" Seeing Cao Meng walking away, Li Si went straight to the point and led Luo Ye towards the study.

Seeing Li Si so direct, Luo Ye said straight to the point: "Cao Qing is dead!"

When Li Si heard Luo Ye say this, he paused. Although he had expected it before, he still felt a little unreal when he heard Cao Qing's death.

Such a living person died like this.

"What about his body?" Li Si took Luo Ye into the study, poured him a cup of tea, and the two of them sat down.

Luo Ye took a sip of tea and his mood became much calmer. When he heard Li Si's question, he hesitated and said, "The body is still on the mountain."

"On the mountain?" Li Si frowned and hesitated: "Why don't you bring it back on the mountain?"

"I can't take it." Luo Ye sighed and continued, "I heard from the hunter who heard the news of Cao Qing's death that his body was hung on a big tree on the edge of the cliff by the demon tiger, and the demon tiger was still wandering near the corpse. No one dared to get close to it."

"It's a pity that my brother is so uneasy." Luo Ye's eyes were a little red when he said this.

When Li Sixin heard Luo Ye say this, he was very worried. A man died like this, and he couldn't even bring his body back, and he was exposed to the wilderness.

At the same time, he was also worried about Cao Meng. Now that his last relative has left, what should he do in the future?

When he got along with Cao Meng, he had already fallen in love with this child and was very sensible, making him feel like he had seen his former self.

"I came here to pick Cao Meng up to my house this time. My family is not very rich, but it is still okay to raise one more person. I don't have any children, and I will treat him as my biological child in the future." Luo Ye looked at Li Si seriously, and it was obvious that he was serious.

"Let this be put in advance, don't tell Cao Meng recently." Li Si took a sip of tea and pondered for a while and said, "I'm going to take Brother Cao's body back."

"Mr. Li, you must not." Hearing Li Si say this, Luo Ye suddenly became a little anxious and quickly persuaded: "The demon tiger has been cultivated into a spirit, and it is no longer something that ordinary people can deal with. It is wandering around Cao Qing's corpse and waiting for us to go over."

"Although I heard that you have the means to subdue demons, why take risks for his corpse?"

"After all, people are dead, so we still have to live well." Luo Ye kept persuading, and cold sweat began to appear on his forehead.

"I like this child Cao Meng very much." Li Si took a sip of tea and sighed: "I will not let his father's body hang on the cliff and expose the body to the wilderness."

Luo Ye still wanted to persuade him, but Li Si reached out to stop him from continuing and said seriously: "I have made a decision, you don't need to persuade me."

"I have to make some preparations today. Can you tell me how to go tomorrow?" Li Si looked at Luo Ye and asked.

Seeing that Li Si could no longer persuade him, Luo Ye said helplessly: "I will take you there tomorrow."

"That's thank you Brother Luo." Li Si said with a smile.

Luo Ye sighed, then showed a worried look and asked, "That child Cao Meng..."

"We'd better not tell him." Li Si paused slightly, thinking that he would go into the mountain during this period, so it was inconvenient to take care of him, so he said, "After lunch today, let him go to your house by himself."

At the same time, he seemed to have thought of something, so he fumbled through his sleeves, took out some broken silver and handed it to Luo Ye and said, "You can take this silver."

"This... how can this work?" Luo Ye immediately refused when he saw Li Si giving him money. Although his family was not rich, he did not want to take Li Si's money in vain.

When Li Si saw him refuse, he nodded in his heart.

At the same time, he forced the money into Luo Ye's hands and said with a smile: "I can be considered Cao Meng's teacher, please help my student chief."

Luo Ye still wanted to refuse, Li Si glared at him and said, "What I gave to him is not you, what are you rejecting?"

Seeing Li Si like this, Luo Ye had no choice but to take the silver and sighed: "Then I will thank you for my dead brother."

Having said that, the two made an appointment to leave tomorrow, and Li Si sent Luo Ye away.

At this time, Cao Meng, who bought onions, ginger and garlic, came back.

"Sir, what did Uncle Robert say to you?" Cao Meng asked nervously when he saw Li Si.

"It's nothing." Li Si smiled and then said, "Hasn't I practice martial arts recently? I need some medicinal materials as an auxiliary. I asked him yesterday. He came here to reply to me today."

He had already agreed with Luo Ye that he would not tell Cao Meng about this during this period, and he had found all the reasons.

"Oh." Cao Meng breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked again: "Did Uncle Robert tell me about my father?"

"Yes." Li Si nodded affirmatively, and then said, "Your Uncle Robert said that your father came back the day before yesterday, but he rushed into the mountain again after he made up for what he needed."

Seeing Li Si say this, Cao Meng was completely relieved and sighed, "I really hope my father won't have any trouble."

"Your father, a man, has his own appearance, and there will definitely be no problem." A look of care flashed in Li Si's eyes, but he immediately returned to his normal expression.

"Let's go, let's go cook." Li Si interrupted Cao Meng's thoughts and reminded.

"Okay, sir." Cao Meng replied.

Then the two went to make lunch. After cooking, they put the dishes on the table and started eating.

During the meal, Li Si said to Cao Meng: "I will have a few days to go out this time. You can go to your Uncle Ro's house in the afternoon and stay at his house from now on, and someone will take care of you there."

Hearing Li Si say this, Cao Meng was stunned, with a hint of reluctance in his eyes, but he still responded sensiblely: "Okay, I'll listen to Mr."

"And." Li Si seemed to think of something and continued to instruct: "You go and tell Yu Hu and the others in the afternoon, and don't come from today. Let's talk about it when I come back."
