Chapter 116 Sequelae
Zhao Huanxi and Tai Ge saw Hongying carrying a package towards the city in the woods. After making sure that she was fine, they set off to return to the village.
Tai was lying at the feet, already bored with waiting. He yawned and watched the increasing number of humans around him.
"Brother Tai, let's go back."
Tiger: "Where is my special meal?"
Zhao Huanxi smiled, lowered his head and said to it: "Go back first, it's not convenient here."
Brother Tai didn't ask any more questions, but ran all the way on the road with Zhao Huanxi on his back, trying to get back to the mountains before the sun rose.
The mountains here are continuous, and walking in a straight line through the forest is much faster than walking in a crooked way on the official road.
Zhao Huanxi lay on Tai Ge's back and also felt sleepy. Even a superman couldn't be as restless as she was after not sleeping all night.
She closed her eyes, hugged Tai Ge's neck tightly, and walked out of the woods where her home was in a daze.
"Huanhuan, wake up, we're home."
Zhao Huanxi rubbed his sore eyes, got off Tai Ge's back, found a thorny plant nearby, and broke off a thorn from it.
She pricked her fingertips skillfully and then stuffed them into Brother Tai's mouth with ease.
Brother Tai has become accustomed to the strange feeling every time. This time, after licking the blood, there was not much fluctuation. The feeling was fleeting and disappeared in an instant.
"Brother Tai, you've worked hard. Go back and have a good rest. I'll go into the mountains again tomorrow to bring you some snacks."
Brother Tai stood up, shook off the dust on his body, and disappeared into the jungle, looking back every few steps.
Zhao Huanxi also went home and surveyed the terrain on the way.
The land between her home and the forest entrance was previously purchased by her, but it was not suitable for growing crops. This time, she wanted to buy land, mainly the large piece of land near the bamboo forest on the other side of the stream in front.
The land over there is fertile, but it is difficult to grow crops on scattered land. In addition, it is wasteland, and it takes a lot of manpower and resources to reclaim it, so no one is interested in this place.
This provided her with an opportunity. The scattered plots were fine; the herbs could be planted separately without affecting each other. She had to buy some low-quality bricks and build a wall. This process took some effort.
She wanted to buy good land, but firstly, it was far away and difficult to take care of, and secondly, the price of good land was too expensive, so it would be more cost-effective to open up new land.
On her way back, she surveyed the land she wanted to buy and took a walk along the creek.
The stream is not big, less than two meters in diameter. What is rare is that it is a spring water flowing from the mountains and forests.
One day, with nothing to do, she followed the stream up the river, only to find herself in a mountain forest, where the river was lined with jagged rocks and thorny plants. She stumbled along for over two hours, finally reaching the pond where she always met Tai and the others.
No wonder these people don’t want to go into the mountains. If she didn’t know Brother Tai and the others, it would be quite scary there even during the day.
Then again, how could she have dared to go in if she didn't know Brother Tai at that time... There is really nothing more terrifying than being poor in this world...
When I got home, Mrs. Liu was already there, helping to prepare lunch, and the children were already attending morning classes.
Dahei and Xiaohei were taking a nap in the corridor. Zhao Huanxi looked at the two little black guys and thought: These two guys are not here to guard the door, they are here to act like masters.
After chatting with Liu's son in the kitchen, Zhao Huanxi suddenly remembered that she had been followed last night. She narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at the flames in the kitchen with a cold gaze.
Suddenly, a chill ran down her back, and even nausea ran through her stomach.
What happened to her? Before March, she was a law-abiding Chinese citizen. How did she become like this? She wanted to kill people to silence them at every turn, and she had even killed someone.
She suppressed her nausea, covered her chest, said hello to Liu, and went back to her bedroom. She locked the door, sat on a stool, and breathed rapidly.
She tried hard to think about what she had done in the past few months, and convinced herself again and again that she was not a bad person. She did all this just to protect herself.
The strong prey on the weak, this is the law of this world. She came to this world unintentionally, and now she has people she wants to protect and things she wants to cherish.
She touched her face and found that tears had already flowed down her face without her knowing.
Wipe your face clean and try to calm yourself down.
Standing up, she felt her pulse, which was now beating wildly. She closed her eyes and let herself go.
"Little sister, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"
When Liu saw Huanxi's face was very bad and she looked like she was running away, she was a little worried.
So I came over to take a look after finishing my work.
"Second sister-in-law, I'm fine. I didn't sleep well last night. I'll take a rest and come out soon."
"If you have any problem, tell me. I'm in the kitchen."
"okay."
Hearing no movement inside, Liu went back to the kitchen to continue doing her own thing.
Zhao Huanxi has now come to her senses and forced herself not to be defeated by these trivial things. She still has a lot of things to do.
She stood up, put on her most charming smile, adjusted her expression in front of the bronze mirror, changed her clothes and went out to see the children.
She went to the front hall and sat on the porch, watching the girls in the yard, sitting at the desk in the middle of the yard. The morning sun gently shone on their focused faces. Their eyes sparkled with a desire for knowledge, as if the whole world was immersed in that quiet and focused reading time.
She was also infected by this quiet and focused atmosphere, and the waves in her heart slowly dissipated.
"Okay, morning class is over here. Let's take a break and eat later."
Yu Yan put down the book and said to the children.
"Thank you, Master!"
The children answered in unison.
"Huanxi, what's wrong with you? Why are the bruises on your eyes so severe?" Yu Yan walked closer and said to Zhao Huanxi.
Huanxi touched his face and said with a wry smile: "I had a nightmare last night, don't mention it."
At this time, there was a knock on the door. Zhao Huanxi wanted to open the door, but Xu Jinchu ran forward and opened it.
"Achu, is there anyone who is behaving well?"
"Yes, I'm a good boy. Wow! Rabbit!"
Xu Jinchu's eyes were attracted by the snow-white rabbit in Xu Qingzhao's hand. He squatted down and took the tied-up rabbit.
"Miss Yu Yan, rejoice."
She walked up and greeted him, and Huanxi responded politely.
Several children immediately called out "Uncle Xu" obediently, which made Xu Qingzhao almost blush.
"That rabbit has a nice color. Huanxi, do you want to keep it?"
Huanxi looked at Xu Jinchu's loving expression and said with a smile, "See if the rabbit is well behaved. If it makes trouble, it must be roasted whole."
The words were veiled, but Xu Qingzhao understood what she was hinting at. He smiled faintly and said, "Rabbits are the last animals to make a sound. Even when they're being killed, they don't make a sound. They never make a noise."
Zhao Huanxi sneered in his heart. Whether this statement was credible depended on whether he was willing to believe it or not.
"Then kill one and eat one. Pick the one that doesn't open its mouth and keep it. Kill the remaining one and eat it."
(Please give me a five-star review, thank you)
