Chapter 129 Suspicion...
Chapter 129 Suspicion...
"I'm going to plow the fields. You just stay at home and rest for a day. Mo Ying should just wait for me to take it with me." Ling Chuan said seriously, because he knew the boy's personality too well. He just couldn't sit still.
Xia Mo said "Oh" casually, "Plowing the fields, have you borrowed the plowing tools and buffaloes?"
"Yes, I've already agreed with them." Ling Chuan said and glanced at the boy again. Seeing that he had almost finished the porridge in his bowl, he asked, "Do you want more? There's more in the pot."
Xia Mo quickly shook his head, "No, no, I'm already full." If he ate any more, his stomach would swell into a ball.
Ling Chuan responded with a smile, but did not get up and leave immediately. Instead, he waited for Xia Mo to finish eating and then washed the dishes before he took a straw hat and a water bag and prepared to go out.
Before leaving, Ling Chuan saw that the boy's heart and eyes were glued to Mo Ying, and he couldn't help but move a few steps behind him and called out again, "Ze'er..."
"Hmm?" Xia Mo turned around, and just as he slowly stood up and looked over in confusion, he was pinched by the man's rough fingertips on his chin. Then a shadow pressed down, and a moist touch was imprinted on his brow.
"Be good and don't run around." Ling Chuan lowered his eyes and looked at the boy's slightly open mouth and warned him, then immediately stepped back. Although he really wanted to get a kiss from her, he was afraid that it would get out of control.
"Okay... I got it." Xia Mo blinked first, then slapped the man's hand away, looking a little embarrassed.
Seeing that he was being awkward again, Ling Chuan couldn't help but chuckle. He then stroked his black and smooth hair before reluctantly walking away.
After Ling Chuan left, Xia Mo let out a long sigh, and after a while he couldn't help but curl his lips. Then he said to Mo Ying without any context, "Xiaoying'er, you have to grow up quickly. When you grow up, we'll go to the prairie and run wild..."
Perhaps he was imagining himself riding a horse, or riding a horse with Lingchuan to cruise along the shore to enjoy the scenery, Xia Mo's eyes became brighter and brighter as he looked at Mo Ying.
So I watched it eat the straw for a long time before going back to the house to rest...
"Aunt, Aunt, are you home? I'm Tiedan!" Outside the gate of the Ling family's courtyard, Tiedan raised his little head and shouted inside.
Looking around, he could see two kids about his age coming with him, and there were a few handfuls of weeds at their feet.
Xia Mo also knew these two kids. One was Xiao Zhuzi, who was frightened by him when he was slacking off, and the other was Uncle Lu’s grandson Yi Ge’er.
Maybe it was their first time, so except Tiedan, the other two had their eyes rolling around and looked very reserved.
Xia Mo, who was in the room, suddenly heard Tiedan's voice and raised his eyebrows in surprise. Why was there only the little guy's voice? Did he come by himself?
Although Xia Mo was thinking about it, he stood up and opened the door without any hesitation.
So when the door opened, he saw the three little people all raised their heads to look at him and called him "Auntie" very politely.
Xia Mo smiled and nodded, glancing to the side, and after making sure that no adults were there, he said, "It's you... Hey, what are these grasses?"
When Tiedan saw Xia Mo's eyes fall on a few bunches of wild grass, he immediately replied: "Aunt, we... are here to feed the horses!"
After hearing Tiedan's words and looking at the hope in their eyes, Xia Mo's lips suddenly broke into a bright smile.
"So you guys want to feed Mo Ying. Mo Ying is so lucky that you guys brought him food early in the morning. Come in quickly, I'll take you to see him."
"Great." Tiedan jumped excitedly, then bent down and picked up two small bunches of wild grasses.
Although Xiao Zhuzi and Yi Ge'er did not appear as excited as he did, they did not hide the urgency on their faces and followed him to quickly grab their share of the weeds.
"Come in quickly, your Uncle Ling is not at home." Looking at the little ones who were impatient but hesitant, Xia Mo added subconsciously, while moving a little bit to the side.
It has to be said that Xia Mo's sixth sense is very strong, so as soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Zhuzi and Yi Ge'er's bodies suddenly became less tense, and they followed Tiedan and ran in, which made Xia Mo laugh.
Come to think of it, Tiedan has been going to the Ling family with Qi almost every day recently. As they have been getting along for a long time, his fear of Ling Chuan has naturally decreased.
But it was different for Xiao Zhuzi and Yi Ge'er. They still had their previous impression of the somewhat fierce Uncle Ling, so it was understandable that they would be a little reserved.
As the three little guys entered the yard, they began to look around. After a while, they saw Mo Ying who was placed under a wooden shed. They didn't even need Xia Mo to come over to point them in the direction.
After all, he was a little worried about the little kids being alone with Mo Ying, so he came over as soon as Xia Mo locked the door.
At this time, Tiedan had already handed the wild grass to Moying, and Xiaozhuzi threw some on the straw pile. Yige, on the other hand, seemed a little scared.
But he quickly overcame it, so when Xia Mo walked up to them, they were already chirping, "It ate it." "It ate mine." and so on.
Seeing that they were enjoying feeding the baby, Xia Mo went to get a stool and sat down to watch them feed Mo Ying.
Then he asked casually: "Tiedan, how did you know that my aunt has a pony?"
"I heard what my uncle said this morning," Tiedan replied.
"Many people also know about it. I heard it from Big Fatty." Xiao Zhuzi added.
And Brother Yi nodded in agreement.
"No wonder." Xia Mo smiled, glanced at the weeds in their hands, and asked curiously: "Did you pull these weeds on the roadside?"
"No, we pulled it out at the foot of the mountain." It was Tiedan who answered again.
"It's so far, are you all alone?" Xia Mo frowned slightly. If there are no adults around, it is best for children not to run around in places with lots of grass and trees as there are many snakes, rats, insects and ants.
"No, no, there were also Sister Mianmian and Brother Yu. We went to pick wild vegetables, but after we met that bad guy, we left." Tiedan explained, as if he had noticed Xia Mo's brief emotion.
Xia Mo instantly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that, as long as he didn't have to run around everywhere.
But... who is the bad guy?
Xia Mo was curious, so he asked with a puzzled look: "A very bad person?"
"That's right, he is a very bad person." Tiedan said angrily, his face frowned and his two eyebrows stood up instantly.
Seeing that the aunt still couldn't remember who it was, he angrily said, "Aunt, have you forgotten? She came to bully you last time. She even beat my mother!"
"Li?!" Xia Mo was surprised, "She also went to dig wild vegetables?"
"I don't know. She glared at us and then walked up the mountain." Xiao Zhuzi, who was feeding Mo Ying, turned around to look at him, then tilted his head, as if recalling the scene at that time.
"Aunt... I don't think she is going to pick wild vegetables. She doesn't even have a basket. Sister Mianmian and Brother Yu said that you have to bring a basket when picking wild vegetables, and a small shovel..." Brother Yi hesitated and stammered.
