Chapter 131 It's so late, you still know to come back
The night was as dark as ink, and a faint silver light shone on the earth, leaving only a shallow shadow.
Mu Siyu stood at the foot of the mountain, hugging herself tightly, stamping her feet, and looking at the only way down the mountain from time to time.
Click! Click!
Someone is going down the mountain.
She blew on the torch in her hand, picked up the torch on the ground, lit it, and stretched it forward.
"Lu Yi, is that you?"
"Why are you here?"
The man carrying the wild boar looked at her in surprise.
Mu Siyu's eyes darkened and she said fiercely: "It's so late, do you still know how to come back?"
Lu Yi shivered when he saw her speaking. What was originally a very fierce sentence, when she said it, it seemed a bit pitiful and sad.
His eyes softened and the corners of his mouth raised.
Mu Siyu took a few steps towards him and was surprised when she saw the big thing he was carrying: "We hunted another wild boar!"
"When I went up the mountain, I saw the hoof prints of a wild boar near the trap. I thought it was not far away, so I chased it and took a look. It's just that this thing was cunning. He escaped several times and it was not easy to catch it."
"This one is bigger than the last one, it must be very dangerous!"
"fine."
Mu Siyu stopped blaming him. Seeing that he smelled of blood, she said distressedly: "Go back quickly!"
"You go first."
"You go in front, I'll light the torch from behind." Mu Siyu urged: "Hurry up."
Lu Yi walked in front carrying the wild boar.
I have walked this road countless times, but it was particularly short today, and I soon saw Tong’s home.
Mrs. Tong hugged Lu Zhiyun and looked around at the door. Seeing that they were back, she breathed a sigh of relief: "Why do you stay in the mountains like this... Oh, you have hunted something big."
"Dad, you hunted a wild boar again!" Lu Zhiyun shouted sweetly: "Dad is so awesome."
"My mother-in-law is worried." Lu Yi threw the dead wild boar on the ground. "When I went up the mountain, I saw that the trap had been touched, and I saw the hoof prints of the wild boar, so I tried to look for it. When I saw it, it took a lot of effort to catch it.
live."
"It doesn't matter to me. It's just that Girl Yu is worried about you. She has been waiting at home for a long time. If you don't come back for a long time, she will go out to look for you." Tong said, "The food is already being warmed in the pot. Go and eat quickly."
While Lu Yi was talking to Tong, Mu Siyu brought out the hot water, twisted the handkerchief and handed it to him: "First wipe your face and wash your hands."
Lu Yi took it and said, "I can just take a shower."
"Are you hungry? Eat your food first and then take a shower." Mu Siyu said, "You are used to taking cold showers. It's quite cold today, so you'd better take a hot shower!"
"I'm used to it and I don't feel cold. Let's eat first!"
Mu Siyu brought out the food.
Lu Yi thanked him and sat down to eat.
The voices of several women, old and young, could be heard from outside. They were saying something to the effect that the wild boar was huge and Lu Yi was a great hunter.
When Lu Yi returned to the room after taking a shower, he saw Mu Siyu making the bed.
Seeing Lu Yi come in, she said a little awkwardly: "My uncle's room is too small. It's too crowded for two grown men. Let's not change rooms for now..."
Lu Yi hummed and walked over.
Mu Siyu glanced at him cautiously: "I shouldn't have wronged you, I'm sorry!"
Lu Yi slowly walked towards her.
Mu Siyu stepped back.
"I said I'm sorry..."
Do you still want to hit her?
She stepped back step by step, sat on the bed, and fell down.
Lu Yi reached out with one hand, grabbed the clothes there, and said: "I just want to get the clothes..."
The two were very close.
His breath hit her face.
Mu Siyu's cheeks were as hot as a poker, and she didn't dare to look into his eyes.
When he took the clothes away and moved his oppressive eyes away from his body, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Yi took the clothes and went out.
Mu Siyu took the time to get into bed and covered herself with a quilt.
When Lu Yi came back again, the little woman had already fallen asleep.
Looking at her sleeping look, he smiled faintly.
In fact, when he heard that she had wronged him today, he was indeed a little angry. But the moment he saw her guarding him as he went down the mountain, all the anger disappeared.
His gaze stayed on her cheek.
She seems to have lost a lot of weight.
The next day, when Mu Siyu woke up, the wild boar in the yard was gone.
"Mom, where is the wild boar?"
"The son-in-law was sold to the village chief." Mrs. Tong wiped her hands. "No, this is money."
"Yes, the braised pork workshop in the village has opened. It's the time when we need meat." Mu Siyu took the money from Tong. "So much..."
Mrs. Tong came to the river with her wooden basin in her arms. She squatted down and was about to wash her clothes when suddenly a man walked over from the opposite side. The man grabbed the clothes in his wooden basin and put them into her wooden basin, with an impatient look on his face: "Give them to me."
Washed."
"Aunt Jiang, what are you..." Mrs. Tong frowned.
"What did you call me?" Ms. Jiang was stunned.
"Aunt Jiang." Mrs. Tong picked out Mrs. Jiang's clothes and put them back into his wooden basin. "Sorry, I'm in a hurry and don't have time to help you wash your clothes."
"Tong, don't be shameless." Mrs. Jiang was furious.
Tong, who had only been hiding when he saw her some time ago, suddenly became stiff.
Could it be that with the support of her son-in-law and daughter, she can be ignored?
There were quite a few women doing laundry today, and when they saw this scene they were chirping and laughing one after another.
"Aunt Jiang, Sister-in-law Tong is no longer your daughter-in-law, so of course she won't wash your clothes. You'd better wash them yourself!"
"that is."
"Sister-in-law Tong, it's just a few clothes. Aunt Jiang is so old. Even if she is not your mother-in-law, she is still your elder! Why did you help her wash it?"
"To put it lightly, then don't go help her wash it."
"I have never been her daughter-in-law."
"Oh, you want to be a kid, but you can't. Mu Dashan wants to marry a young and beautiful woman, so you can help him give birth!"
"Bah! You guys with bad tongues, do you have a right to speak here?" Ms. Jiang cursed at the women.
"Aunt Jiang, we also have good intentions, why don't you know what is good and what is evil?"
The crowd burst into laughter again.
Mrs. Tong ignored them and continued to wash herself.
Bang! Jiang kicked Tong's basin away.
The basin fell into the water and floated away.
Tong's face turned ugly, and she stood up with a groan: "Aunt Jiang, what do you mean?"
Jiang looked at her coldly: "I did it on purpose, what else do you dare to do?"
He was used to seeing Tong being humble and cautious, so he simply didn't believe that she would resist him. Jiang had never been merciful to Tong, and his heart was harder than that stone.
Tong was instinctively afraid of Jiang.
Especially when Ms. Jiang stared, she couldn't help but tremble.
In the past, whenever this happened, Jiang would hit her with something nearby, and would not stop until she was tired.
Seeing her cowardly look, Mrs. Jiang smiled proudly.
"You don't dare to do anything to me even if you have some courage." After saying that, he walked past her.
