My brother is so proud

☆ 53. Chapter 51

Chapter 51

"Hey, Brother Yu is back? I haven't seen you for many years, but you still recognize your aunt?" As soon as Li Shanfeng saw who was coming, she immediately stood up and greeted him with a smile on her face.

"Aunt?" Lin Yu frowned.

He was only thirteen years old when he left the Lin family. Li Shanfeng had previously treated them as invisible people. After all, they had not seen each other for many years, so he did not react for a while.

But...

"What are you doing in my house?"

Lin Yu put down the backpack and longbow, and did not hide the disgust between his eyebrows.

"Brother Yu, what are you talking about! Auntie came here to see your mother," Li Shanfeng walked up to Lin Yu, looked him up and down, and turned to Zhang and said, "This child really looks like you, look, how good he is! Our Lin family actually has a boy with such a good appearance, it is really a blessing from our ancestors!"

"You are wrong, I am not a member of the Lin family."

"Brother Yu, you..."

"Auntie, what marriage did you just talk about? Whose marriage?"

Lin Yu glanced at Li Shanfeng lightly, and no longer paid attention to him, just walked straight to the table and sat in his previous position.

Now Li Shanfeng had no place to sit.

But Zhang didn't seem to notice it at all, and hurriedly picked up the pot to pour a cup of tea for Lin Yu, "It's so cold outside, don't freeze? Are you hungry? Have a cup of tea to warm your stomach."

"Not hungry." Lin Yu shook his head, took the steaming teacup and took a sip.

The mother and son were so affectionate that no one else could get a word in.

With such an obvious attitude of driving people away, the smile on Li Shanfeng's face became a little stiff. He had come here with a lot of planning, but he didn't expect that Zhang, who was so easy to control, had become smarter now. Could it be that she was really strong for her mother?

Seeing the mother and son acting as if they were alone, it was obvious that what he said just now was in vain!

But this matter... can't just be left like this!

Yesterday, several elders from the village came to the door, and their words implied that they should leave Hejia Village. How could this be possible? Fortunately, the words were not final. He and his father-in-law and mother-in-law thought about it and came up with such a plan - take Zhang Su and Lin Yu back!

Not only can they stop the villagers from talking and change their reputation, but Zhang Su's illness has been cured and Lin Yu has grown up. Anyway, it's not a big deal. Not only will the family have a labor force, but they will also get a sum of money by marrying Lin Yu off.

Maybe, while he is still unmarried, I can let him go to the mountain to hunt a bear and bring it back, then I might even have enough money for my own son to get married!

A sure win business!

Thinking of this, Li Shanfeng hesitated for a moment and then walked up to Mu and Zi as if nothing had happened, "Brother Yu, why are you still going out in such a cold day! Are you... hunting again?"

"You are a boy, how can a boy go out hunting every day? This is too outrageous!" Seeing that no one answered, he continued to speak to himself, "Zhang Su, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but Brother Yu has such good conditions! You know He Baoer in our village, right? She was the wife that He Youcai's family had chosen for his son. She was so plain-looking, but she was favored by the wealthy people in the town and was taken back to be a concubine. Our Brother Yu..."

"Be a concubine?" Lin Yu suddenly raised his eyes.

"That's right, it's a concubine. I noticed something was wrong at the beginning. Who would marry a wife by sending her in a sedan chair? I never thought it was just a concubine, and now she's been sent back. I guess He Baoer's mother wants both face and money, otherwise how could she hide it so well? If I hadn't run into his mother and his wife yesterday and asked the maid to send them back, tut tut..."

Li Shanfeng sighed twice, and when she saw Lin Yu lowered his eyes again, she continued, "But it's true, a pheasant can't become a phoenix. I'm afraid that even if He Baoer is in his mother's belly again, she can't compare to our brother Yu in the slightest!"

"If you can't compare with him in looks, you certainly can't compare with him in luck! The girl your father-in-law is looking for is the cousin of the head of the village. She is very handsome and passed the imperial examination two years ago. She is a talented person. Besides, her father-in-law has passed away, and one of her brothers got married two years ago. Not only does Yu Ge not have to serve his father-in-law and mother-in-law, but he will have the final say in the family. And if this man can pass the imperial examination next year, Yu Ge will be the wife of an official! What a good marriage!"

"How can anyone be interested in Yu Ge with such a good marriage." Zhang's expression was calm.

When the Lin family wanted to give Yu Ge to the old rich man as a concubine, didn't they also lie to him with all kinds of lies? Now, he absolutely can't trust them anymore.

Seeing Zhang's expression, Li Shanfeng became anxious and said hurriedly, "Zhang Su, you know that our father-in-law has some friendship with the head of the village, otherwise the Lin family would not have been able to take root in Hejia Village. Father-in-law has put a lot of thought into this marriage, just to compensate your mother." "

Yu'er is already twenty-one years old. No matter how good his looks are, how many years can they last? You should know how important his marriage is. You can't be stupid at this critical moment!"

After these words came out, even Zhang Su's face changed a little. Twenty-one, if it was two years later, I'm afraid...

"Zhang Su, this is really a great marriage. If I had a son, I would have competed with Yu'er. If you don't believe it, you can go to the head of the village to ask. We are both sons and have children. I know how much you worry about Yu'er's marriage."

Zhang frowned, and Lin Yu kept his eyes down, as if he didn't hear anything.

"Furthermore, there is one more thing," Li Shanfeng saw that the mother and son did not react much, and she could not help but get angry, so she said, "That man is a scholar. He is not like ordinary people. He is exempted from land taxes and does not kneel when he sees the county magistrate. The head of the village has high expectations for his cousin and values ​​the clean family background of his daughter-in-law, so... your father-in-law, mother-in-law and mother-in-law all want to take you two back to clear Yu'er's name and prevent others from looking down on him."

"Go back to the Lin family?"

"Yes! Yes!" Seeing Lin Yu answering, Li Shanfeng's face showed joy, "Yu'er, the two elders have missed you so much these years!"

"No," Lin Yu shook his head and then stood up, "I won't go back. My surname is Lin, but this surname was given by my father. My father's tablet is in the house. He was driven out of the Lin family just like our mother. So, I am not a member of the Lin family, and I will not go back to the Lin family. As for marriage, this is my own business, and I don't agree."

"Yu'er, you silly boy, this is such a good marriage, you just say you don't agree..." Li Shanfeng seemed to remember something and suddenly changed his face, "Yu'er, I've heard Wu Cui talk about you and that kid from the He family before, you must be saying it's not because of this..."

"It has nothing to do with He Ze, I don't like this marriage, you can go away."

"Dislike it? You don't like such a good family? You...ah!" Li Shanfeng shook his sleeves angrily, he had wasted so much time talking in vain, the anger in his chest could no longer be suppressed, "You have a good face, but you are over 20 years old and still have such a reputation. If there is someone who can marry you..."

"Li Shanfeng, shut up!" Before Li Shanfeng finished speaking, Zhang interrupted him harshly, "The gate is there, you can go by yourself."

"Zhang Su! You..."

Zhang pushed Li Shanfeng all the way to the courtyard gate. The latter cursed. Seeing that they were almost at the door, Li Shanfeng suddenly shouted at Lin Yu, "Brother Yu, I tell you, if you don't want to get married now, it will be too late in the future! Where can you find such a good marriage? You hang out with the He family boys all day long. He Youcai is the only child. Do you really think anyone can marry you? Impossible!"

"Why not!"

A familiar voice came into his ears, Lin Yu's heart trembled, subconsciously turned his head and looked, and then he was stunned.

He Ze was carrying a backpack and holding a longbow, dressed the same as Lin Yu before, standing in the same place where he stood before, panting, obviously running over.

His sudden appearance and sudden voice obviously startled Li Shanfeng and Zhang, and the pulling action stopped instantly.

"Who are you, what is possible or impossible..."

"I...ï ­, I'm his man!"

He Ze paused and glanced at Li Shanfeng with a gloomy face. He didn't expect to hear someone propose marriage to Lin Yu as soon as he arrived. For a moment, his blood surged and even swear words came out. Do

you like Lin Yu? Do you like him?

The question that He An asked him inadvertently made him think for a long time, and he had the answer in his heart that night before.

He likes him, he likes Lin Yu. Perhaps, this love... started as early as the first time they met.

From the initial astonishment to slowly understanding, the more he understood, the more he appreciated, the more distressed, and the more... pleased.

Although this was different from his understanding of more than 20 years, the restlessness in his heart was real. He couldn't lie to himself, and there was no need to lie.

He was a man, and he should go for it if he liked it, but he was afraid of scaring Lin Yu, and thought about slowly changing the way they get along. He never thought that he was just a little late, and the cabbage he had been staring at for a long time was already on his mind before he could bear to eat it!

This is intolerable.

If Lin Yu agreed today, then...

He Ze glanced at Lin Yu, and his heart tightened instantly.

He threw the backpack and bow and arrows to the ground, and without paying attention to the stunned expressions of the three people, he quickly walked to Lin Yu and grabbed his wrist. The two of them came to Zhang together. This series of actions was completed in an instant, "Aunt Lin, maybe what I say next is a bit abrupt, but I am sincere. I want to marry Lin Yu, and hope..."

"He Ze, you..." Before He Ze finished speaking, Lin Yu finally came to his senses and suddenly shook off his hand, "Are you kidding?"

He Ze said he wanted to marry him? Did he hear it right? At the moment, a thousand feelings surged into Lin Yu's heart, and he couldn't tell whether he was happier or more uncomfortable.

"I'm not kidding," He Ze's expression was extremely serious. He once again held Lin Yu's hand in his palm, "Aunt Lin, I..."

"No!" Before He Ze finished speaking, Lin Yu shook his hand away again and shook his head, "No... No matter whether you are joking or not, I will pretend that I didn't hear what you said just now."

Glancing at He Ze's gloomy face, his voice became lower and lower, "Go away. You are still going home so late. Uncle He and Aunt He should be worried."

"Lin Yu!"

"If you don't leave," Lin Yu lowered his eyes and said to Zhang, "Mom, I'll go out for a walk."

"Brother Yu!"

Zhang's voice did not stop Lin Yu. He ran too fast. He walked out of the yard in a few steps and onto the ridge of the field.

"This... this..."

"Aunt Lin, don't worry, I'll chase him."

He Ze hammered his head and ran to catch up. Zhang and Li Shanfeng were left looking at each other.

The latter took a long time to react, and said sarcastically, "I didn't believe what Wu Cui told me at first, but I didn't expect that this Yu Ge'er is worthy of crawling out of your belly, and his ability to seduce men..."

"Get out! Get out!" Zhang Su's face flushed, and he pulled Li Shanfeng's clothes and dragged her out of the yard.

"Oh, don't be angry, isn't what I said the truth? Your father-in-law kindly found a marriage for Yu Ge'er, but you two didn't want it. I reminded you that everyone in the village knows that Yu Ge'er is a jinx. Do you think the He family can easily let Lin Yu in? Don't think too much!"

"Get out! If you don't get out, I'll tear your mouth apart!"

Zhang Su's nails pinched into the back of Li Shanfeng's hand. The latter felt pain and pushed him away.

"Just get out. I'm trying to persuade you with good intentions, but you won't listen. Just wait! I'm just going to drive you out of the house, and there's no proof. As long as Erlang is from my Lin family, and you haven't remarried, and Yu Ge'er hasn't married, then you'll be surnamed Lin after all! At worst, if things get out of hand, we can go to the government office to reason!"

"You!"

Zhang Su was so angry that his lips and jaws trembled, but he didn't say another word. He used both hands to close the gate with a snap.

When there was no sound outside the yard, he softened his body and slid down the door panel, sitting on the ground.

For a long time, suppressed sobs rang out in the yard.

...

On the other side, He Ze chased Lin Yu onto the ridge of the field, getting closer and closer to him.

"Lin Yu, stop!"

Before he finished speaking, Lin Yu sped up, and the distance that was originally close was instantly pulled away. He Ze gritted his teeth, suddenly got off the ridge of the field, and chased him by the puddles in the mud field.

A few moments later, He Ze blocked Lin Yu, but the latter immediately turned around. He Ze quickly grabbed his arm, "Lin Yu, I have something to tell you, why are you running!"

He Ze's voice was mixed with heavy breathing, and the hot air flowed along the opening of Lin Yu's clothes and penetrated into his neck. Lin Yu's eyes instantly turned red when he saw the muddy legs of the person behind him. There was silence

between the two of them. After a long time, He Ze supported Lin Yu's head and turned to him, but he saw a pair of red eyes that were forced to stare, which softened his heart instantly.

"You, what are you doing? I know... I just said the wrong thing, but Lin Yu, you should have noticed something during this period of time, right? My thoughts."

"I like your thoughts."

He Ze's thumb slid across Lin Yu's lower eyelid, wiped the moisture from the corner of his eyes, and looked at him quietly.

☆ 54. Chapter 52

Chapter 52

"You..."

"I, cough..." After staring at each other for a long time, seeing that Lin Yu still didn't speak, He Ze let go of his shoulders, scratched his head and said, "That's it, just like I said to Aunt Lin just now, maybe this matter was a bit sudden by me, but..." "

He Ze, please don't say anymore," Lin Yu raised his head before he finished speaking, "I know you said that on purpose to protect me just now. Now there are no outsiders around, you are not allowed to say this again in the future!"

"...Why not?" He Ze was stunned for a moment, but laughed angrily, "Protect? Okay, just think that I said that on purpose to protect you just now, then why protect you? What's the reason?"

"You-"

"Can't say it? If you can't say it, then listen to me," He Ze got close to Lin Yu's face, looked at his own shadow in his pupils, and said word by word, "Protect, yes, Lin Yu, I want to protect you, because seeing you being hurt by those words makes me angry, so angry that I want to kill people. As for why, it's because..."

"你再说!再说我揍你!"

林煜瞪着眼楮,咬着牙,手上还握着拳头,就跟憋足了劲的小豹子一样的,大有一言不合地就扑上贺泽的架势。

"......武力是解决不了问题的,你总得听我把话说完不是?"贺泽抚了抚额,忍不住叹了口气。

"反正你不许再说这个了,不准......不准你娶我!"

林煜说着又转过了身,贺泽只能瞧见他腿侧绷紧的手背,和充血凸起的指骨。

"......好,不准就不准。"

不准我娶,那等着你嫁不就成了吗?娶,嫁,原本那么陌生的字眼,要对着一个类于自己同性的人说出口,贺泽原以为自己会不习惯,却是没想到在林煜面前这所有的一切都变得自然而然。

就像媳妇这个称呼,多好。若是有天能光明正大的说出口,应该很不错吧?

He Ze looked at Lin Yu's back and a chuckle escaped from his throat. The next second, he wrapped his clenched fist into his palm. The cold temperature from there made him frown instantly, "After running for so long, why are your hands still cold?"

"You..."

"Don't move," seeing that Lin Yu wanted to pull his hand out again, He Ze increased his strength and gently rubbed the back of his hand with his fingers, "Listen to what I have to say first."

"I've said before, those messy rumors and destinies are nonsense. I have never believed in them, and neither can you. As for my father, mother, and Aunt Lin, I can handle all the problems. There's only one thing, you...will you marry me?"

"..."

"Although I'm a little younger than you, it shouldn't have any impact, right?" He Ze pursed his lips. He didn't know if there was a saying here that a man who is three years older can bring wealth. "Besides, although I can't beat you, I can't bully you either. I can fight side by side with you, just like the last time we hunted bears. We can hunt anything. My mother also likes you and will never set any rules for you as a wife. Xiao An also likes you, and no one in the family will make things difficult for you... In summary, do you want to marry me?"

"..."

After a long time without hearing Lin Yu's answer, He Ze looked up at him again, "And, no matter what... I'm better than a stranger, right?"

He must have this confidence.

"I..."

After a long time, Lin Yu finally turned his head. This time his eyes were not red, but his face was red. Seeing this, He Ze was anxious and raised his hand to touch him, "What are you doing..."

"Stand there and don't move. Don't come over!"

Lin Yu took two steps back suddenly, his eyes rolling again and again.

"Okay, I won't come over." He Ze stopped where he was.

"I, I..." Lin Yu glanced at him, his hands twisting his clothes unconsciously, his lips bitten red, and after a long while, he seemed to have made up his mind and said, "He Ze, I..."

"It's okay if you don't want to get married. I'll ask again next month." Just as Lin Yu opened his mouth again, He Ze's heart tightened and he suddenly interrupted him, "Of course, the premise is that you are not allowed to agree to other people's marriage proposals!"

"..."

"I'll give you time, don't rush to answer me." He Ze let out a long sigh and looked up at the dark sky. "I'll take you back now. Aunt Lin must be worried. It's too cold these two days. Remember not to go up the mountain again."

"Yeah." Lin Yu glanced at him and nodded in response. Suddenly, as if he suddenly reacted, his eyes fixed on He Ze's muddy legs, "No, go back and change your clothes by yourself, I don't need you to send me off."

"It's not that cold, don't worry," He Ze took Lin Yu's hand, "Besides, my backpack is still in your yard."

"I'll send it to you..."

Lin Yu subconsciously raised his head, but when he met He Ze's gaze, his voice became lower and lower, and he finally gave up.

As for the hand held by He Ze, it probably didn't react either.

Well, it's possible.

When the two returned to the Lin family's yard, Zhang was standing at the door looking around. When she saw Lin Yu from afar, she immediately ran to him, "But you're back, and your mother was worried to death!" "

Mom, I just went out for a walk, you..."

"I know, I know, but when the child is out of sight, which mother would not worry?" Zhang held Lin Yu's shoulders and looked him up and down for several times, then moved her gaze to He Ze, "He family boy, are you... okay?"

"It's okay," seeing Zhang also looking at his muddy legs, He Ze hurriedly shook his head, "I accidentally stepped into a puddle just now, and this happened."

"So that's the case... Then you come into the house quickly, it's warm inside!"

"No, Xiao An is waiting for me at home, I'll go back first," He Ze declined Zhang's kindness, walked a few steps to the yard, put his backpack and bow and arrow back on his back, looked at Lin Yu again and said, "Aunt Lin, I'm leaving now, what I said before..."

"He Ze--"

Before he finished speaking, Lin Yu suddenly glared at him fiercely. He Ze looked straight ahead, with only a slight curve at the corner of his mouth, "Aunt Lin, everything I said before stands still. I'll come and make it up to you when the time comes."

Zhang was a little suspicious, her eyes swept between He Ze and Lin Yu, and she didn't say anything more. When He Ze's back was getting farther and farther away, Zhang took Lin Yu's hand and went to the kitchen, and dug out a little more fire, "Come here and warm yourself up, don't catch a cold."

"Mom, I'm not cold." Lin Yu pursed his lips and put his hand in Zhang's palm, "Feel it, it's warm."

"Your hands are not cold, right? What if you catch a cold?" Zhang looked at Lin Yu unhappily, but stopped and touched his hand twice, "It's really not cold, who warmed it up?" "

...Mom!"

"Do you think Mom knows nothing?" Zhang stood up and moved two stools over, "The He family kid said it clearly enough just now, and we came back holding hands just now. Mom's eyesight is healed now, don't pretend I didn't see it, you too, don't know how to be shy..." "

Mom--" Lin Yu frowned.

"Okay, Mom, I won't say anything more. It's cold now, and there's not many people outside. According to what the boy from the He family said today, he is responsible. As long as your business is settled, these things won't be a big deal." Zhang added two more pieces of firewood, and the firelight reflected the smile on his face, which was particularly gentle. "Mom didn't make a mistake in choosing the right person, and now I'm relieved. By the way, did you guys come up with a plan just now? What did he say?"

"..."

"Mom guessed wrong?" Zhang straightened up when she didn't hear a reply.

"No," Lin Yu shook his head, but his voice was very depressed, "He Ze, He Ze suddenly said he wanted to marry me, I..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly threw himself into Zhang's arms, rubbing his chin on Zhang's shoulder again and again.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Zhang was anxious and patted Lin Yu's back. "Isn't this a good thing? Am knows that you like the boy from the He family. Now he finally gets it. Why are you unhappy again?"

"Am, you..."

Before Zhang finished speaking, Lin Yu withdrew from his arms, his eyes widened.

"Why? Am is not stupid, and it's not that I haven't been young before. If you don't admit it, Am can't see it?" Zhang poked Lin Yu's forehead and rolled his eyes at him again. "If it weren't for knowing that you have someone in your heart, do you think Am really couldn't find a suitable marriage for you during this period of time?"

"Am, then you..."

"Am is waiting for you to tell Am the truth, but you are stubborn. What are you thinking in your heart?"

"I... I don't want to marry He Ze."

After a moment of silence, Lin Yu glanced at Zhang and his voice was extremely firm.

"What did you say?"

"I don't want to marry He Ze."

"Yu'er, you..." Zhang frowned, "Why is that?"

"Mom, you know, I... I can't get engaged to He Ze, let alone marry him, I'm afraid something will happen to him... He can't get into trouble!"

"... Just because of this? Yu'er! Mom has advised you so many times, why do you have to take all those things on yourself? If the kid from the He family cared about these things, he wouldn't have associated with you at the beginning, why can't you think around it now!"

"I believe he doesn't care, but I do! If something happens to him, I will hate myself, Uncle He, Aunt He, Xiao An... If it's because of me... Mom, I don't want him to marry me, I don't want him to marry me!" As

Lin Yu spoke, his eyes turned red with anxiety, and his voice choked.

"Yu'er, you, why are you so confused! Why can't you think about yourself!"

Seeing Lin Yu like this, Zhang was angry and distressed, and didn't know what to do for a while.

"Auntie, just agree to my request. Heze, if Heze proposes to you, you must not agree to it! I beg you."

Lin Yu rubbed his eyes and stared at Zhang.

"You are really confused! You don't want to marry him, but you are so close to him... You, you are trying to make Aunie die so that you can get married, right?"

"You, ah!"

Zhang was angry and anxious, but she couldn't say a word of blame when looking at Lin Yu, so she had to lower her head.

The mother and son were silent, and the air seemed to stagnate. After a long time, Zhang finally turned around and said in a hoarse voice, "Since you are determined, let's do it, just like that! Aunie agrees to you, agree to you!"

"Auntie--"

Zhang ran straight out of the door, and her back seemed to be hunched. Lin Yu didn't blink at all until Zhang disappeared at the door of the main room, then he squatted down and put his hands around his knees.

There was a fire next to him, but at this moment he felt very cold.

After an unknown amount of time, water drops splashed on the fire, and the flames gradually became smaller.

...

On his way back from Lin Yu's house, He Ze did not delay at all. It was not yet 3 p.m. when he stepped into the house, and as soon as He An saw him, he put all the hot meals on the table.

In the past two days, He Youcai and Li went to a village far away to make wooden furniture for a family, and there were only the two of them at home.

"Eat quickly, and after you're done, I'll take you to town," He Ze quickly put down his bowl and chopsticks after just a few bites, and said to He An who was drinking soup.

"Town?" He An's eyes suddenly lit up, he wiped the corner of his mouth, "Where are we going?"

"To buy wine, brother will buy you whatever you want to eat... But," He Ze patted He An's head, paused and said, "There is a condition."

"What?"

"Dad and Mom will be back tomorrow, you will know then." He Ze raised his eyebrows, but couldn't hide the smile on his face, "Xiao Anzi, you are going to have a sister-in-law."

☆ 55. Chapter 53

Chapter 53

He An still hadn't come back to his senses until he came back from the town.

Brother said that Brother Lin was going to be his sister-in-law?

Although he had expected this more than once, and felt that Brother and Brother Lin were too close, when he asked his brother last time, didn't his brother say that he was overthinking it? Now...sister-in-law? Isn't this a bit too sudden?

After getting off the ox cart, He An tilted his head to glance at He Ze, only to see that the latter was holding two jars of fine wine in his hands, with the curve of his lips never retracted.

"Brother, the matter between you and Brother Lin..."

"What's wrong?"

"No," He An shook his head, and said firmly, "Brother, you lied to me last time, didn't you? You really like Brother Lin!"

He Ze paused, but smiled without answering, and walked a few steps in front of He An, who hurriedly chased after him, "If you don't say anything, it means you agree! Is that bow considered a token of love? You talked so nicely to me at that time! Aren't you ashamed?"

As he spoke, He An poked his blushing face again, his eyes full of contempt.

"Okay, brother, at that time... cough," He Ze suddenly coughed lightly when he met his gaze, and then continued in a moment, "Things are different now. Anyway, when dad and mom come back tomorrow, you know what to do, huh?"

"Know," He An raised his voice, and he didn't know what he thought of, and a big arc appeared at the corner of his mouth, "If Brother Lin becomes my sister-in-law, then I can see him every day in the future? I can also let him teach me hunting! And, and, Brother Lin's baby must be very cute!"

"..." Yeah, that's also your brother's baby.

Looking at He An's fascinated face, He Ze suddenly said something in his mind, but the next second he couldn't help laughing out loud.

A little baby who looks like Lin Yu, just thinking about it, he felt his heart burning, and his steps became faster.

When the two returned home, it was already dark. That night, the oil lamp in He Ze's bedroom was not extinguished all night.

The next day, He Youcai and Li returned home around noon. Both of them were very happy, thinking that this trip was very smooth.

"Dad, Mom, are you hungry? I have prepared the food, all of which are your favorites!" He An said excitedly while helping the two to unload the wooden boxes on their backs.

"Oh, you have grown up a year older, and you are really a lot more sensible!" Li laughed and couldn't help but touch He An's soft hair.

An iron stove was moved into the house, and a few more firewoods were added until the fire was burning. The family soon sat down at the table.

Before eating two bites of food, He Ze brought the two jars of wine to the table. As soon as he smelled the aroma of the wine, He Youcai soon couldn't sit still. He drank two large cups. After he had satisfied his craving for wine, he said, "You two are well prepared. Tell me, what's the matter?"

Upon hearing what He Youcai said, Li also put down her chopsticks and swept her eyes around He Ze and He An.

"Dad, mother, don't look at me, it's my brother who has something important to do!" He An glanced at He Ze, and refilled the glasses in front of He Youcai and Li.

"What important thing? Could it be that you have fallen in love with a boy from a certain family?" He Youcai teased, and took another sip of wine.

"That's right," He Ze nodded, "Dad, mother, since you have all seen it, then I'll just say it straight - I want to propose marriage to the Lin family."

"Who? The Lin family? Propose marriage?"

He Youcai hadn't even swallowed his glass of wine yet, and was startled by He Ze's words, and immediately choked and coughed several times.

"You are already so old, can't you calm down?" Li stood up and patted his back, but she looked at He Ze immediately after patting him twice, and her voice was unexpectedly calm, "Xiao Ze, are you saying that you like Yu Ge'er?"

"Yes," He Ze responded, and added, "I want to ask Aunt Lin for marriage."

As soon as he finished speaking, the room fell silent. He Youcai and Li looked at each other. After a long time, He Youcai said in some doubt, "Are you serious?"

"I have never been so serious."

"But, but this matter..."

He Youcai touched the pipe on the table and took two puffs of cigarette. Just when he was about to speak, he was stopped by Li next to him, "Xiao Ze, this is your lifelong event. Can I discuss it with your father?"

"Of course," he expected.

He Ze's expression did not change, and he took another sip of wine. He An, who was standing next to him, seemed to be fidgeting. He glanced at him several times in a row. He waited until He Youcai and Li put down their bowls and chopsticks and left the house one after another before he could not help but say, "Brother, what do you think father and mother mean? They won't..."

"I don't know, but they will always agree. Help me find out what mother is saying these two days."

"Yeah!" He An nodded heavily.

Perhaps because He Ze's bomb was thrown too suddenly, He Youcai and Li hardly left the house the whole afternoon. He Ze had been chopping firewood in the yard for half an hour, and an uninvited guest came to his house.

"Aze, it's me, open the door!" After a sound of knocking on the door, there was a loud shouting voice.

He Ze glanced outside the yard, but immediately frowned. After a pause, he picked up another bundle of firewood and continued to chop.

"Aze, open the door, I..."

"Brother, who is outside, it's so noisy!" He An came out of the kitchen and put down his sleeves as he walked.

He was washing dishes just now.

Seeing that He Ze didn't answer, He An subconsciously looked outside the yard, but a flame flashed in his eyes the next second. After looking around, he finally picked up the broom at the corner and walked over, "He Baoer, you dare to come!"

"Xiao An? Can you help me open the door? I have something to talk to your brother about." Seeing the broom in He An's hand, He Baoer subconsciously took two steps back, just forcing a smile.

"Okay, Brother Baoer is here, so of course I have to help you open the door."

He An showed a mouthful of white teeth, and his smile was bright, but it made people feel a little uneasy for no reason.

Before he finished speaking, he slowly pulled out the bolt, but suddenly opened the door and threw a broom at He Baoer, "I told you to come here! You shameless bastard, if you come to my house again, I will beat you to death!"

"..."

He Baoer was still smiling, but was caught off guard by the brooms that He An suddenly threw at him. He dodged in a panic, screamed in pain from time to time, and called He Ze hesitantly.

The latter never gave him a look, but chopped wood faster.

"Don't waste your time, you think I'm your brother's fool! It's disgusting, go back to where you came from, our whole family doesn't welcome you!"

He An put his hands on his hips and slammed the broom to the ground.

"Xiao An, you...please listen to my explanation. I, I am sorry to your brother, but..." He Baoer covered her legs and cried again, "You have already hit me, just let me in and apologize to your brother. I promise I will come out after I apologize, I..."

"You really don't want to leave?" He An raised his chin and rubbed his thumb slowly on the broom handle.

"I..."

"Okay, you won't leave, right? Then you wait here for a while, I will ask your brother if he wants to come out to see you. He must be heartbroken when he sees you like this."

"Xiao An, you, you didn't lie to me?" The excitement on He Baoer's face flashed away, and the next second his eyes were on the broom in He An's hand, and his expression seemed quite frightened.

He An didn't answer, but just looked at him quietly, and immediately re-bolted the door as soon as he entered the courtyard, "Wait!"

Putting the broom in place, He An walked to He Ze's side, looking back every few steps. Before he could speak, He Ze raised his eyes, "Did he leave?"

"No," He An looked at He Ze without blinking, and saw that he was not unusual before speaking, "I knew my limits and didn't use heavy hands. I just touched him."

"Yeah."

"Brother, when did He Baoer come back? You knew it before, if you make him cry twice more this time-" He An's voice paused, and he glared at He Ze fiercely.

Brother used to be fascinated by He Baoer like a fool!

"There is water in the kitchen, and the river is frozen. I picked it from the well." He Ze suddenly said after chopping another piece of firewood.

"Ah?" He An was stunned, but then he seemed to think of something, and the smile on his face became bigger and bigger, "I know, brother, you are awesome!"

After a while, He Baoer, who was outside the yard, was splashed with a basin of dirty water, and cried for a long time, and finally gave up and left.

However, it was probably only at this moment that he gave up.

The next day, Liu San and He Dalang came back from the town, and just as they arrived at the village entrance, they were intercepted.

"He... He Baoer? You..." Liu San pointed at He Baoer for a long time before recognizing her, and then smiled, "Oh, which rich family's lady came to our remote village, don't dirty her clothes!"

"You! Liu San, I didn't come to you two to talk nonsense!" He Baoer was angry, but he held back, "I know you have a good relationship with He Ze. What happened to him during this period, can you tell me?" After

being defeated by He An yesterday, he felt something was wrong the more he thought about it. It was only a few months, how could He Ze be so cruel to him! He even watched him being beaten and splashed with water without asking a word. The uneasiness in his heart when he saw He Ze and Lin Yu together that day was even worse now.

"Why should I tell you? Let He Ze pick up a junker, or let the rich master become a cuckold?" Liu San climbed onto the shoulder of He Dalang next to him and said with a smile, "Dalang, you have to take a good look. If you find a wife in the future, don't find such a shameless one, otherwise... you will have to vomit up the overnight meal."

"You..." He Baoer took two deep breaths, took out a small piece of silver from his waist, and handed it to Liu San, "I will pretend that I didn't hear what you said just now. Tell me everything that happened to He Ze during this period, especially the things between him and other brothers, and this silver will be yours." When

it came to the words "other brothers", He Baoer's voice was quite gnashing.

As soon as he saw the silver, Liu San's eyes lit up immediately. He rubbed his palms, "Ahem, are you serious?"

"The silver is right in front of you, how can it be fake?" He Baoer glanced at Liu San with contempt.

"This, this..." Liu San swallowed his saliva, and before he finished his sentence, He Dalang slapped his head, "You kid is obsessed with money? Don't forget..."

He Dalang whispered to Liu San, and the latter immediately came back to his senses, and looked at the silver reluctantly before saying, "You want to bribe me, your third master, with such a small amount of money, isn't it too stingy? I tell you, wealth and honor cannot corrupt, poverty... what is poverty?"

"Enough, are you going to tell me or not? If you don't tell me, I can ask others." He Baoer lost his patience and stuffed the silver back into his waist.

If he didn't know that these two people had a good relationship with He Ze, he wouldn't have come to ask for this trouble!

"Alright, alright, what else is there to say? Even if you know, what can you do? You're already married, and you still want to serve two husbands? Aren't you afraid of becoming a rat crossing the street? Besides, He Ze is busy getting married now, and you come to meddle in other people's business..."

"What did you say? Busy getting married? Who? Who are you talking about?" He Baoer's eyes turned red, and he suddenly grabbed Liu San's shoulders. The veins on the back of his hand popped out. The scene of seeing He Ze and Lin Yu holding hands that day flashed through his mind again, "Lin Yu, you are talking about Lin Yu, right?" "

Hiss - let me go, what the hell are you talking about!"

Even though he was wearing a thick quilted coat, Liu San was still pinched by He Baoer so hard that it hurt. You can imagine how much force he used. He Dalang, who was standing by, saw that something was wrong and hurried over to help pull He Baoer away.

"So what? What can you do to compare with him? Just based on that appearance, tut tut..."

"Pa——"

Liu San hadn't finished speaking when He Dalang slapped him hard again. He quickly restrained the smile on his face and said seriously, "I'm just admiring you, don't be so excited!"

After saying this, he turned his head and looked at He Baoer, "Of course, appearance is secondary. How can He Ze be such a superficial person? When he saw you getting married, he was heartbroken and wanted to commit suicide. Fortunately, Lin Yu saved his life from the claws of a blind bear. From then on, the two of them have been in love, so envious..."

"What did you say? He Ze committed suicide because of me... because of me?" Before Liu San finished speaking, He Baoer stared at him straight.

He knew, he knew that Aze liked him. How could he let someone who liked him so much and treated him so well take him away? !

He Baoer clenched his fists, and he didn't know what was in his mind. Suddenly, a smile broke out on his face, and he turned around and ran away.

"Is he crazy?" Liu San twitched his lips as he looked at He Baoer's back, but when he looked at the direction he disappeared, he punched He Dalang on the shoulder the next second, "Is that the direction of Lin Yu's house? - Dalang! Did I say something wrong just now?"

Liu San stared with his eyes wide open, looking hopeless.

"Well, it seems so," He Dalang nodded blankly, and the next second he saw Liu San suddenly running out, and hurriedly caught up with him, "Why are you running so fast!"

"What else can I do? Find He Ze!" Liu San didn't stop, but turned his head and said sadly, "New love and old love meet together, this is terrible!"

Jun Jianxiaoxi threw a grenade Throwing time: 2017-06-13 15:09:33 It

was almost noon when He Baoer arrived at the Lin family yard.

The sunlight in early winter was slightly white and bright, but like its color, it made people feel no warmth at all. The door to the yard was open. After He Baoer stood still, he saw Lin Yu sitting at the table wiping his bow and arrow.

Perhaps it was because of the sunlight, the face of the person in the sight was more outstanding, and even people subconsciously ignored his black and bloated quilted jacket and his red and swollen hands.

He Baoer almost bit his teeth. He took a deep breath, adjusted his clothes and hair, put on a smiling face and stepped into the yard.

Lin Yu heard the noise and turned his head to look over, "He Baoer?"

"Brother Lin, the weather is so good today, why didn't you go hunting in the mountains? I heard that this time is the best time for hunting. Although it is cold, it is not too cold. The wild birds in the mountains should come out to find food."

He Baoer sat down at the table very familiarly, and subconsciously touched the bow and arrow box on the table.

"What are you doing?" Lin Yu waved his hand away.

"...Brother Lin, I'm sorry," It's just a bow and arrow box! He Baoer smiled awkwardly, "I just think this bow and arrow is beautiful, don't mind it."

Beautiful? This bow, six arrows, three peregrine falcons, and three sparrow feathers were all given by He Ze. It is indeed very beautiful.

"Pah——"

Except for the longbow and an arrow in his hand, Lin Yu put all the other arrows into the square box, closed the lid of the box and pushed it in front of himself before saying, "Do you have something to ask me?"

"I, I came to thank you," He Baoer glanced at Lin Yu, "I just came back before, I didn't know that so many things happened to He Ze during this period of time, and I misunderstood you. I hope you don't mind."

He Baoer's words were sincere. How could he not learn anything in the past few months in the backyard inner house. It's all because he was born poorly. If he had a face like Lin Yu, it would be easy for him to become the main wife.

God is so unfair!

Just send her back. The longer he fights for that little bit of wealth, the more he misses Aze. He has figured it out now. As long as he can marry He Ze and live a good life, he will never have any other thoughts.

I heard that Uncle He's hand has healed, and the He family has been looking for land recently, and it seems that they are planning to buy it. Life is definitely not as difficult as it seems. As long as he can stabilize Aze's heart and keep her belly full, she will always enjoy happiness when she marries him.

"Aze and I have been engaged since we were young. We grew up together. It was my fault. I shouldn't have compromised under the coercion of Amu. If it weren't for this, Aze wouldn't have been so upset. If something really happened to him, I really want to go down and accompany him... Brother Lin, although we are not familiar with each other, thank you very much, thank you for saving him."

He Baoer grabbed Lin Yu's hand tightly, and there seemed to be tears in her eyes.

"You have nothing to do with him anymore, I don't need you to thank me."

Lin Yu's eyes were slightly cold, and he gently pried He Baoer's hands apart.

"No," He Bao lowered her eyes and shook her head vigorously, "Although I'm married, my husband's family pity me and has someone in their heart, so they didn't touch me. I've divorced him. I came back to find He Ze, just to... just to..."

"Just to marry him again?" Lin Yu said expressionlessly, wiping the arrow more heavily.

"Well, now that things have come to this, I'm not afraid of being laughed at by you, Brother Lin. I like He Ze. The relationship between the two of us for so many years is not so easy to let go and get rid of. This is the case for me, and it will be even worse for Aze. During this period of time, I have never been away from him for so long. I guess he must miss me as much as I miss him."

I guess he must miss me as much as I miss him...

"Who are you thinking about?"

"Thinking about some people who have been away for a long time..."

Some, or one? Who else could it be except He Baoer?

"Pah--"

The sweet smile of He Baoer in front of him gradually overlapped with the nostalgia in He Ze's eyes that night, and the arrow in Lin Yu's hand was pressed heavily on the table.

"Brother Lin, in addition to thanking you today, there is one more thing," He Baoer glanced at Lin Yu, and the smile on her face became more intense, "I heard about you and Aze, and I believe you are innocent. Aze, Aze can seek death for me, you can imagine how important I am in his heart, so I believe him and you."

What a good thing to say! As soon as he finished speaking, the wind blew in the yard, bringing a biting chill, as if it was even colder.

"Tsk tsk, He Ze, did you hear that? This guy's mind is simply..." Liu San caught up with He Ze outside the yard panting, and when he listened to He Baoer's voice in the yard, he immediately said excitedly, "Let's go in quickly, otherwise your wife will..." "

Shut up!"

He Ze shouted in a low voice, successfully stopping Liu San's voice. He and He Dalang were pulled to the corner by He Ze.

"No, He Ze, let's..."

"Wait a minute." Inexplicably, he wanted to hear what Lin Yu said. The next second, a "no" came into his ears.

"What?"

"We are not innocent. He Ze said he likes me and even proposed to my mother yesterday." Lin Yu's thumb rubbed the tip of the arrow. The sharpness pierced his skin, which was getting more and more painful, and made him calmer and calmer.

Unexpected calmness.

"What did you say?!" He Baoer stared and stood up uncontrollably, "What are you kidding? How could it be so fast? How could Uncle He and Aunt He agree? You are lying to me!"

"If you think I am lying to you, why are you so excited? You are already married. How can a concubine get divorced? That's called divorce. Because Uncle He got into trouble, you betrayed and remarried someone else. Do you call it love? Now that you are divorced and want to rely on He Ze again, do you call it love? You keep saying that we have been in love for many years, but you don't feel any guilt for causing He Ze to get into trouble. This is called love?"

Lin Yu's voice was light, but every word he said tore off He Baoer's fig leaf, with a loud voice.

"Concubine? I...you, how did you know?" He Baoer looked around and then fixed her eyes on Lin Yu.

He was a concubine of a rich man, but how did Lin Yu know this? Obviously... obviously, Am said that she had kept it a secret.

If this matter got out...

He Baoer bit her lip, her eyes almost popped out.

"If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself."

"You! Lin Yu, what do you mean? Threatening me?" He Baoer clenched her fists, calmed down and said, "Even if she is a concubine, so what? As long as He Ze forgives me, the rest of the problems are not a problem."

"He won't forgive you." If it was the He Ze he knew.

If he really forgave, then... it can only mean that He Ze likes He Baoer very much, very much. Lin Yu covered his chest, he suddenly felt a throbbing pain there.

"You-Lin Yu, I'm not here to talk to you about this today. Anyway, I thank He Ze for saving him. I'm back, and He Ze is mine. You know your fate of killing your husband, so don't pester him in the future, otherwise you will kill him!" He Baoer said while trying to stay calm.

"Kill him? It's possible," Lin Yu suddenly chuckled, "But what does that have to do with you? Even if I killed him, he was willing to do it."

"You, you are unreasonable!" He Baoer stared at Lin Yu and suddenly pounced on him, but before he got close, his body stopped suddenly, "Lin Yu, what do you want to do! Don't be impulsive..."

"Don't move, don't talk."

Lin Yu raised the bow and drew the arrow in one go. With a smile on his face, he pulled the bowstring half full and aimed the arrow at He Baoer.

"You, Lin Yu, don't be angry..." He Baoer was so scared that she fell to the ground, backing away continuously, "You still want to kill someone? You will be beheaded, don't be impulsive!"

"Who said I want to kill someone? I just remembered that last time when I was hunting bears with He Ze, the black bear pounced on me like this, and then I stabbed it with a tiger fork and beat it to death with a few punches." Lin Yu was still sitting upright on the stool, his eyes seemed to be reminiscing, but the bow and arrow in his hand was steady, the tip of the arrow reflected the sunlight, and it pierced straight into He Baoer's eyes.

"Woo woo... Lin Yu, I really know I'm wrong. I won't come to you again. Don't face me, I'm scared..." He Baoer had never seen such a scene before. She was frightened and her face turned pale. She broke down and cried and shouted, "Help, help, woo woo..."

"I told you not to talk!" Lin Yu glanced at He Baoer, his expression seemed dissatisfied, "When you talk and disturb me, I will easily lose my mind. When I lose my mind, the arrow will be released."

The latter stopped crying immediately, hiccuped twice, and dared not move.

The yard fell silent again, and a laugh came from the gate of the yard. Lin Yu saw who was coming, and his arms softened all of a sudden. It was not right to release the bow and arrow, nor was it right not to release it.

"He Ze, you... you save me, Lin Yu wants to kill me..." When He Baoer saw He Ze and the other two coming in, she immediately felt like she had seen a savior. She couldn't even stand up for a while. She moved a few steps with all her limbs and grabbed He Ze's trouser legs fiercely.

"..."

He Ze frowned, turned to Liu San and He Dalang and said, "You two caused the problem, so solve it yourselves!"

"Why are you here?" Lin Yu finally put down his bow and arrow and glanced at He Ze coldly.

"If I hadn't come, would you have seen you so arrogant?" It has been a long time since I saw Lin Yu like this, and I missed him very much. When He Ze thought of what he had just said, he felt even better.

Liu San and He Dalang finally pried He Baoer's hands apart from the left and right. He Ze shook his legs and walked a few steps to Lin Yu and sat down.

The smile on the corner of his lips was undisguised.

He Baoer's eyes turned red with anger, and she stepped hard on Liu San's foot, and rushed to He Ze, "He Ze, Lin Yu wants to kill me, didn't you see it!"

"..."

The rotten peach blossoms left by the original body are really...

"I didn't want to kill him, I just..." Lin Yu looked up at He Ze and subconsciously pursed his lips.

"Where's Aunt Lin?"

"Ah? --Auntie went to the vegetable garden and is not at home."

"So that's how it is," He Ze looked at Lin Yu thoughtfully for a few times, and then said after a pause, "When there is no tiger in the mountain, the monkey becomes king?"

Before he finished speaking, a chuckle came out of his throat.

Warm and... doting.

Lin Yu was stunned, and the uneasiness in his heart disappeared instantly. In just a moment, he drooped his eyelids.

Looking at the affectionate look of the two people in front of him, He Baoer almost spit out a mouthful of blood, "He Ze, you...he just wanted to kill me, and you are protecting him!"

"Kill you? Who saw it?"

"You..."

He Baoer pointed at He Ze, then turned to look at Liu San and He Dalang who were shaking their heads violently, and screamed angrily, "You are a bunch of bastards, bastards!"

Before he finished speaking, he rushed out.

"Alas, another one has gone crazy..." Liu San looked at He Baoer's back and sighed twice while shaking his head, "Love has always been in vain... He Dalang, what is it?"

"Empty..."

"Aren't you two hungry? It's time to go home for dinner." He Ze reminded them coldly.

"Eat, what to eat... Oh, yes, yes!" Liu San nodded heavily, and pushed He Dalang's head down. Finally, he smiled at Lin Yu, "Sister-in-law, we two brothers are leaving first, you and He Ze have a good chat!"

"What sister-in-law..."

Lin Yu's ears blushed, but he frowned. The two did not answer, and quickly left the yard, and helped them close the gate.

He Ze stared at Lin Yu quietly. There was a sound of the door closing. Lin Yu pursed his lips and leaned back subconsciously, "You, what are you looking at!"

☆ 57. Chapter 55

Chapter 55

"What do you think I'm looking at?" He Ze raised his eyebrows.

Lin Yu glanced at him and didn't answer. He just moved the stool away.

"What are you doing?"

He Ze laughed out loud. As soon as his hand touched the leg of the stool, he was interrupted by Lin Yu, "You, don't move! Don't move!"

"..."

"You're still talking about Liu San and the other two. It's already noon, why don't you go home!"

"...It's okay. My mother got up late today, and I had breakfast late, so I'm not hungry at all now," He Ze said with a smile on his face, paused, and said, "Do you know why my mother got up late?"

"Why?" Lin Yu asked subconsciously.

"Because I told them yesterday that I wanted to propose to Aunt Lin. I guess my mother was discussing it with my father last night." He Ze said leisurely.

"He Ze, you..." Lin Yu's face turned red with anger, "I didn't agree, why did you tell this to Uncle He and Aunt He!"

"We have to take it slowly, I'm not in a hurry, let Dad and Mom agree first, then convince Aunt Lin, you stay until the end, how about that? We have plenty of time to waste."

"...You are such a scoundrel!"

"Okay, don't be angry, as long as you don't agree, can I force you? But..." He Ze glanced at Lin Yu, with a smile on his face, "I heard everything just now."

"You, what did you hear?"

"I heard you say that we are not innocent..."

"I didn't mean that, I just..." I just wanted to piss him off, you have paid so much for him, why should you be deceived by him!

Lin Yu seemed to have thousands of words in his throat, but when he met He Ze's gaze, he couldn't say anything.

"Just what?" He Ze's eyes were full of interest.

"Why should I tell you!"

"...Okay," He Ze closed his eyelids slightly, and the smile on his face also stopped, "Then Lin Yu, can we have a good talk?"

"You want to talk, what do you want to talk about?"

Lin Yu's fingers tugged at the side of his pants and slowly lowered his head. He Ze looked at him and could only see his furry hair, like a poor little animal, which made people have an irresistible urge to touch it.

He Ze forced himself to look away, and said with a cold face, "Is it because of what He Baoer said just now that you don't allow me to marry you?"

Although he was not sure, Lin Yu was not without feelings for him. Then, apart from the fact that Lin Yu had always cared about the fact that he was a husband-killer, he could not think of any other reasons.

"..."

"Speak!" Seeing Lin Yu silent, He Ze shouted.

"What are you talking about, no!"

Lin Yu suddenly stood up, and with a bang, he slammed the bow and arrow in his hand on the stool, "I just don't want to marry you, is that okay!"

Before he finished speaking, the stool split in half, and the legs of the stool broke, and it shattered all over the floor.

He Ze was stunned for a moment, and seeing that Lin Yu was still staring at him fiercely, he could not help but coughed lightly, "This... okay, okay? Don't get excited."

"..."

Lin Yu looked back at the broken stool, then quickly ran over to pick up the empty bow and arrow, rubbed it on his chest several times, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, but his face turned red in an instant.

"Old man? Who did you learn this from?" After a moment of silence, He Ze's voice with a smile sounded again.

"I, I said the wrong thing just now, you pretended you didn't hear it." Lin Yu's head hung even lower than before, and he was afraid that he wanted to crawl into the crack in the ground.

"Okay, I didn't hear you," He Ze cooperated and held back his smile, "Let's talk about business. We talked about this topic before, but I guess you didn't listen. Now I reiterate that those things have nothing to do with you. Do you really think you are some great person? Getting engaged to someone can kill people. With such a good thing, wouldn't those with bad intentions come to you?"

"..."

"Besides, look, we have been together every other day for the past few months. Are you a jinx to me? Not only did you save me, but I also completely healed my serious injury. How do you explain this?"

"You, you didn't say you were engaged to me at that time."

"Okay, then let's not talk about me for now. I heard from Am that the one who broke his leg broke off the engagement with you some time after his injury healed. How come nothing happened during that period?"

"...Then how do you explain it? Everyone who was engaged to me has had an accident."

"Need an explanation? That old man lived to be over seventy, and he must be worried every day that he won't see the sun the next day? The one with a broken leg has recovered, and the one who drowned was the only accident. Is this an explanation?"

"...You are making up stories."

"Then isn't it also making up stories when you say that you are unlucky? This kind of thing, if you believe it, it's true, if you don't believe it, it's not. Why do you have to get stuck on this?"

"I..." "

Lin Yu," He Ze sighed. He didn't expect Lin Yu to be really entangled in this. "Since you believe in fate, do you believe that maybe we are a perfect match? I have such a strong fate, I'm not afraid of you being unlucky at all."

"..."

He Ze stood up and walked a few steps behind Lin Yu. "How can you know if you don't try, right?"

"But I'm afraid..." I'm afraid that you will be like the one who drowned and disappear in an instant.

Love brings worry, love brings fear.

Lin Yu turned around with red eyes.

"It'll be fine. I'm tough, otherwise how could I not die until now?" He Ze lowered his eyes, raised his hand to cover Lin Yu's eyes, and slowly moved closer to his ear, "Lin Yu, besides being alive, I haven't wanted anything so much for a long time." Besides being alive, I have

n't wanted anything so much for a long time.

Lin Yu's eyes were dark, and heat lingered in his ears. This sentence was like a thunderclap that broke through his eardrum and reached the deepest part of his heart.

He Ze held the person in front of him in his arms for a long time. Lin Yu seemed to have forgotten to resist and let him do what he wanted.

The wind stopped, and the sun gradually became warmer.

...

He Ze returned home at noon. At that time, the family had already eaten lunch. Fortunately, Li had been heating up the food for him.

When he put down his bowl and chopsticks, Li handed him a glass of water, "Are you full?"

"Well, Am's cooking skills are getting better and better."

He Ze drank the water in the cup in one gulp, and a smile appeared on his face.

"You seem to be in a better mood now. I saw you had a gloomy face before you went out. Why...did you go to see Brother Yu?"

"...Yeah." He Ze nodded in response.

Although Lin Yu did not give him a clear answer, but...it should be soon.

"I have discussed it with your father," Li put the dishes and chopsticks on the table together. When she saw He Ze looking at him, she chuckled, "Are you anxious now? After you talked about this, you acted as if nothing had happened. I thought you didn't care!"

"Ah!"

"Alright, alright, you suddenly brought up such a big thing. Your father and I haven't slept well for two nights in a row," Li knocked on He Ze's head with the tip of the chopsticks in her hand, paused and said, "We both agree..."

"Am, are you serious?" Even He Ze was a little surprised, he thought that Father He and Li would more or less care about Lin Yu's reputation.

"Of course it's true, would I lie to you?" Li paused what she was doing, pulled out a stool and sat down, "You and Yu Ge'er are so close, how could Am not have some thoughts in her mind? I also know what you are worried about, Am actually thought about it at the time."

"Yu Ge'er is a good person, your father and I know that, but if I let you marry him, to be honest, I have been worried for a long time, not worried about anything else, but what if something happens to you."

"But since you woke up, this is the first time Am has seen you smiling all day long, so happy..."

"Really..." He didn't even realize it.

"That's right. Seeing you like that, even if Am had a lot to say, she couldn't open her mouth. Because of her soft-heartedness, when I saw that Yu Ge'er had pinned his reputation on you, it became even more difficult for me to speak up. If I said this, it would be immoral!"

"Am, thank you." He Ze poured a cup of tea and brought it to Li.

"Haha, you even said thank you to Mom, you little rascal!" Li chuckled, "If you didn't say it, I would have mentioned it to you sometime. It's just that your father is too careless, and he is completely shocked by you. He has the same concerns as me, afraid that something bad will happen to you, alas." "

Then dad..."

"Actually, because of He Baoer's matter, your father and I have always felt sorry for you. Now that you can get over it, your father and I can't tell you how happy we are. We watched Yu Ge'er grow up. He is a good child... Although we are still a little worried, you have grown up, and it's your own marriage, we can't force you to decide."

"Besides, if Yu Ge'er really kills you, he can't save you and let you pick up your life from the hands of the King of Hell... You taught An Ge'er to say this, right?"

"Mom, isn't this the truth?" He Ze smiled awkwardly.

"You bastard!" Li stood up and knocked on He Ze's head again in annoyance, "Okay, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. My father and I only hope that you are well and An Ge'er is well, that's all."

"Mom, everything can be fine." He Ze spoke word by word, as if making a solemn promise.

"It's fine if it can be fine," Li took all the bowls and chopsticks in her hands, and turned her head before walking two steps, "By the way, our family has gradually paid back the money we owed. Everyone thought that your father's hand was healed and he took on a big job, so they didn't say much. Now you want to propose marriage, you can't treat Yu Ge'er badly with the betrothal gift, otherwise you can't buy the land first?"

Li didn't realize that he had subconsciously asked He Ze for his opinion.

"No need to wait. Haven't you and dad already decided? If we wait, I'm afraid it will be hard to find a suitable date next time," He Ze shook his head and said after a moment of hesitation, "Just help me choose a date. I'll figure out the rest."

"Xiao Ze, this..."

"It's okay, Mom, go wash the dishes first."

After such a long period of leisure, it's time to earn money for a wife. Wife... When He Ze thought of this word, his chest was full.

This feeling has never happened before.

Almost immediately, He Ze trotted into the kitchen to pack a few pancakes, and said goodbye to Li, "Mom, I have to go to town. It will probably take two days to come back. Don't worry!" Before he

finished speaking, he had already hurried out of the yard. Li finally caught up with him, but she couldn't even see his back. She could only shake her head and sigh, "This kid!"

On the other side, Lin Yu was full of thoughts. He sat in the yard for a while, and also said goodbye to Zhang, carrying a bow and arrow and a backpack and going up the mountain.

Zhang saw that the weather was rare and sunny, so she didn't stop him.

But I didn't expect that after only two hours, the sun would disappear. The cold wind was blowing, and the snow was falling like goose feathers. Soon, the earth was covered with silver.

The snow did not stop all night.

He Ze did not return home all night, and Lin Yu... was the same.

Chapter 56

The heavy snow finally stopped at noon on the third day. The snow on the ground was about three feet deep, reaching the thighs of an adult man.

The snow had just stopped, and the sun was bright and dazzling, but the day was a little colder.

Because of the sudden heavy snow, there were few pedestrians on the streets and alleys, and Xu Qingsheng's clinic was not open. He rested at home for two days.

But just as he put down his bowl and chopsticks, there was a knock on the door outside, "Doctor Xu, Doctor Xu, are you there? Doctor Xu!"

Hearing this anxious voice, Xu Qingsheng was stunned, and then he got up and opened the door. The next second, he was shocked by the embarrassment of the two people in front of him, "You are..." "

Doctor Xu, are you Doctor Xu Qingsheng?" Liu San was panting and talking with his hands on his waist.

His hair was a little messy, and there were dead leaves and mud on it. His cotton pants were wet for a long time, and the trouser legs were still dripping with water. He Dalang beside him was exactly the same as him.

"Yes, yes, which one of you? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No, no..." Liu San shook his hand, and He Dalang immediately said, "It's not us, we are from Hejia Village. Aunt Lin suddenly fainted. Aunt He said that you have always been the one to treat her illness. We went to the clinic first but didn't see you. We asked others and found out that you live here. I don't know where you are now..."

"Aunt Lin, are you talking about Yu Ge'er's mother?" Xu Qingsheng was anxious and asked again.

"Yes, it's Lin Yu's mother. Several aunts in the village are helping to look after her now. The snow is too thick, and it's easy for ox carts and horse carts to slip. How about we carry you?"

"No need, I'll go pack the medicine box and go with you right away, wait a minute!"

Before he finished speaking, Xu Qingsheng had already hurried back to the house, and came out with the medicine box on his back in a few moments.

Liu San and He Dalang looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. It was rare that Doctor Xu was willing to see patients in this weather.

"Doctor Xu, do you really not need us to carry you?"

Seeing Xu Qingsheng close the door, Liu San asked again.

"No, no, isn't it a waste of time for you to carry me in this weather? Hurry, we have to hurry, what if something happens, alas..."

Although the snow is thick, the street is better than the mountain road. Xu Qingsheng sighed, and walked towards the intersection by himself, holding the wall and stepping on the snow.

"Then Doctor Xu, can Dalang take care of you? I have to go find He Ze quickly. He hasn't been home for two days. Such a big thing happened to Lin Yu..."

"Brother Yu? What big thing happened to him? What's going on?" Xu Qingsheng paused, looking worried.

"Lin Yu went up the mountain two days ago and never came down. He must have been trapped in the mountain... Yesterday it snowed too heavily, so we took Aunt Lin and didn't dare let him go up the mountain to look for him. Today the snow finally subsided, and many men in the village went up the mountain early in the morning. Aunt Lin also went up, but they couldn't find him. She fainted from the panic and cold. We didn't dare to delay, so we came to find you!"

"What about now? Has Brother Yu been found?"

"Not yet," Liu San shook his head, his face full of anxiety. "It's snowing so heavily, it must be cold and dangerous on the mountain. We don't know what the situation is now. I just hope nothing happened. He Ze hasn't returned from the town these two days. Uncle He and Aunt He don't know where he is. When they saw us coming to the town, they asked us to help look for him."

"This... isn't it useless to look for He Ze? How..."

"Doctor Xu, you don't know that Lin Yu is..." Before Liu San finished speaking, He Dalang glared at him. He finally came back to his senses, "I'll tell you about this another day. Anyway, I have to go to find He Ze quickly. Be careful on the road. If you are tired, let Dalang carry you!"

After that, Liu San didn't wait for Xu Qingsheng to answer, and gave He Dalang a few more words, then stepped on the snow and went in the opposite direction.

"This..."

"Doctor Xu, let's go first? Aunt Lin is still waiting for you," He Dalang didn't want to say more, took the box from Xu Qingsheng's shoulder and carried it on his own, "If you are tired, tell me!"

Seeing the two of them like this, Xu Qingsheng had a vague guess in his heart, and didn't bother to ask again, and hurriedly followed He Dalang.

On the other side, Liu San first went to the academy in the town, but probably because of the weather, he finally got outside the academy wall, but didn't see anyone.

There was no other way, so he had to go to many places that the three of them used to go to. Finally, he found out where He Ze was at Yu's Restaurant, but he was still not there.

"He Ze has been staying here for the past two days, but he went out this morning and hasn't come back since. How about you wait for him?"

"Wait, how can I wait... Where did he go?" Liu San's face flushed, and he didn't know whether he was running or in a hurry. "

He, he has been in Flower and Bird Alley for the past two days, saying that he was going to find that old man named Cai. You can go there and ask someone, and you should be able to find him."

Before Manager Yu finished speaking, Liu San squatted down, wrung out the water from his trouser legs, and ran out of the restaurant in a few steps. All the way to Flower and Bird Alley, when he saw He Ze, He Ze was just coming out of the courtyard of Old Cai.

"What did you say? Lin Yu was trapped on the mountain?"

After hearing what Liu San said, He Ze was shocked and anxious, his face changed immediately, and his hands under his sleeves clenched into fists.

"Two days, two days, it hasn't come down. It's snowing so hard, aren't you trapped? It's not easy for me to find you, let's hurry up... Hey, you!"

Before Liu San finished speaking, the person in front of him had already run a long way away with big strides. He was stunned for a moment, shook his head, and then trotted after him.

Looking at He Ze's condition, he was afraid that he was really trapped. Now he just hoped that Lin Yu would not really get into trouble, otherwise...

Liu San sighed in his heart and quickened his pace.

It's just that I don't know whether He Ze ran too fast or he really ran too slowly. He couldn't see He Ze's shadow just after he passed the intersection.

At this time, the sun was about to set, and the sky was getting dark. Liu San had no choice but to slow down.

At this time, He Ze had already entered Xiangyang Mountain.

He didn't go back to the village. When he arrived at the intersection, he directly used the plants on both sides of the mountain road to escape the wood escape. It only took a few breaths to reach the mountain. Fortunately, there were not many people on the mountain road in this weather.

The snow was too thick, and the sky and the earth were covered with white snow.

As soon as He Ze arrived at Xiangyang Mountain, he closed his eyes before he could even stand still. At that moment, the entire Xiangyang Mountain was filled with green fluorescent lights. They swirled and danced, contrasting with the white snow on the ground. It was such a strange and beautiful scene, but unfortunately no one could see it.

Except He Ze.

He was patrolling the forest with the help of the trees all over the mountain. Although this consumed too much of his supernatural power, he could no longer care about so much.

Lin Yu, you, Qianwai must not be in any trouble.

He had never been so scared as he was now, even when he knew he was about to die at the end of the world.

He Ze's hand grabbed the tree trunk beside him tightly, and his fingertips were bleeding from the rough and sharp dead bark on the trunk, but he seemed to be unaware of it.

About a quarter of an hour later, he opened his eyes, but his brows were furrowed.

Found it, but Lin Yu's condition...

It's okay, it will be okay.

He Zeqiang remained calm, and without thinking too much, he gradually melted his hands into the tree beside him, followed by his body. He crossed his legs and disappeared on the spot.

A few moments later, He Ze's figure walked out of another tree halfway up the North Peak.

Not far away, a yellow bamboo basket was still half exposed. Next to him, a figure leaned against a tree trunk, with heavy snow piled up to his waist, and a thin layer of snow covering his upper body. He held a reddish-brown longbow tightly in his arms, and his exposed hands were the same red as the longbow.

Further up, there was his pale face and dark purple lips.

It was Lin Yu.

He Ze's pupils shrank, and he rushed to Lin Yu almost instantly, and in a few seconds, he cleaned the snow off his body, only to find the tear on his coat and the lump on his ankle.

"Lin Yu, wake up... wake up!"

He Ze's voice was trembling. He held Lin Yu tightly in his arms, like holding a human-shaped ice cube, and the coldness penetrated into his bones. He

kept rubbing the arms of the person in his arms, and He Ze looked at Lin Yu's pale face and his eyes gradually turned red. He glanced at the surrounding trees, and countless green fluorescent lights entered Lin Yu's body.

"It's okay, it must be okay..." He Ze muttered to himself, not knowing whether he was talking to Lin Yu or to himself.

The green fluorescence became more and more, and He Ze's face became paler.

Lin Yu had been frozen for too long, and there must be other injuries on his body that he didn't know about, so... his supernatural power was almost exhausted.

About half an hour later, He Ze's eyelids became heavier, but Lin Yu's face gradually became rosy.

The warm breath sprayed on He Ze's neck, and his tense body finally relaxed. Holding the tree trunk to stand up straight, He Ze hugged Lin Yu in his arms and slowly disappeared from the spot.

The next day was another sunny day. The sun shone directly on the faces of the two people inside through the entrance of the cave. The dazzling light made Lin Yu blink his eyes and finally opened them. Sleepy

.

He had a dream that he went to hunt a blind bear, but was caught. The blind bear didn't eat him, but tied him up, making him unable to move at all.

Lin Yu rubbed his eye sockets, but opened them wide the next second.

He was indeed tied up, it was not a dream!

The hands tightly wrapped around his waist, the legs straddling his legs, and... the face less than one centimeter in front of him.

He Ze?

Is it He Ze? Or is he dreaming?

He clearly remembered that he had injured his ankle again. He wanted to go down the mountain slowly, but he stepped on empty air and then hit his chest. He fainted after the huge pain.

Lin Yu touched his chest, and there was no discomfort there. He subconsciously moved his legs again, and his ankle still hurt a little, but it was much better.

What... is going on? And why is He Ze here?

Lin Yu looked at the sleeping person in front of him, almost greedy. Even if it was a dream, it was a beautiful dream.

Before fainting, he thought he would never see He Ze again.

At that moment, he regretted it.

He liked this person and he wanted to marry him, but could he bear all the disasters by himself?

How nice it would be.

Lin Yu couldn't help but stretch out his hand, and his fingertips slid down He Ze's face, from his forehead to his eyebrows. He paused. He Ze might not know it himself, but ever since he saved him, he always had a sense of oppression on him, a... chilling sense of oppression.

Or rather, a threat.

He hunts all year round, and is extremely sensitive to this feeling.

And now, He Ze is sleeping with his eyes closed, and his whole body has softened in a rare way. This softness is like the sunshine beside him, with a faint warmth.

Lin Yu couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, and his hand slid down to He Ze's nose, thin lips, chin... In fact, he is really handsome.

He has never looked at a man so seriously.

His face was slightly hot, and his fingertips moved up again, stopping at the corner of He Ze's lips, which was light red and a little dry. Lin Yu stared at it and lost his mind.

Is this a dream?

What should I do? I really want to kiss him, so I just kiss him. He won't find out, right?

Lin Yu grabbed his clothes and slowly moved closer to his face. The moment their lips touched, his heart beat like a drum.

Is this the feeling of kissing? There was obviously no taste, but he just didn't want to back off. Lin Yu couldn't help but lick it with his tongue. The wetness spread, and He Ze's lips turned red.

The fingers around Lin Yu's waist moved slightly.

After a long time, Lin Yu finally straightened up. Just as his lips withdrew, the person in front of him suddenly opened his eyes. Their eyes met, and He Ze pressed his hand on the back of his head and pressed against him forcefully.

Chapter 57

When their lips touched again, He Ze froze there.

This was also his first kiss - if you don't count the one just now.

Lin Yu in front of him had his eyes wide open, his pupils were full of his shadow, and he was dazed. Every time his eyelashes trembled, it seemed to scratch his heart, making it itchy.

He Ze's Adam's apple moved.

The next second, he suddenly turned over and pressed on Lin Yu, with his legs across his waist, one hand lifting his waist, and the other hand resting on the back of his head. After completing a series of actions, his lips never left.

The two of them got closer, and He Ze imitated Lin Yu's previous action and stuck out his tongue. His breathing became hotter, and even the air became a little hotter. An

ambiguous atmosphere was brewing.

Seeing Lin Yu's eyes still wide open, He Ze let out a chuckle, "That's not how you kiss. Can I teach you?"

Before he finished speaking, he raised his hand and pressed it against the stone wall behind Lin Yu, trapping him in his arms. The tip of his tongue slipped in along the gap between his lips, sweeping across the inner wall of his teeth, as gentle as a feather.

"It is said that this is called 'wall dong'." As

his lips and tongue withdrew, He Ze smiled, but the next second, a flame seemed to flash in his eyes. The person in front of him had bright eyes, rosy cheeks, and a watery glow on her pink lips.

He licked them.

Thinking of these three words, He Ze's breathing became heavier. Then he gently rubbed the soft hair on the back of Lin Yu's head and kissed him again, this time between his eyebrows, like a dragonfly touching the water.

"Forget it this time, I'll teach you after we get married, how about that?" He Ze's eyebrows were smiling, and his temperament was as gentle as when he was asleep before.

Lin Yu blinked again, and finally came back to his senses. He bent his knees and raised his legs, all in one go, but he subconsciously paused when he was about to touch He Ze.

With this move, He Ze narrowly dodged to the side, "Murdering your husband?"

"You... He Ze, you bastard!"

Lin Yu rolled up his sleeves and wiped his lips, but his face seemed to be even redder.

"How am I a bastard? Didn't you kiss me first just now? This is called... reciprocity." He Ze spread his hands, and the smile on his face was very... asking for a beating.

Then Lin Yu clenched his fist.

"Hehe, Lin Yu, don't hit someone in the face, let's make a deal about this first..."

Seeing Lin Yu getting closer and closer to him, He Ze's face changed, but he suddenly went forward, "You can hit me, but be gentle, your man is too weak to withstand a few punches from you."

"... He Ze! When did you become so shameless!"

Before he finished speaking, Lin Yu punched He Ze's shoulder, but... it didn't hurt at all.後者忍不住笑出了声来,一把将林煜的手握在了自己掌心,"哪里无耻了?我回去就让阿爹提亲去,我说你家男人哪儿错了?"

"你!"

林煜狠狠瞪了贺泽一眼,另一手再度握成了拳头,可想砸又砸不上去,只得深吸了两口气,撇开了自己的视线,"谁说你提亲我就要嫁给你了?你再这么说,我......"

"你怎样?"

"我真的要揍你了!"

随着他声音响起的,是砰地一声响和山洞石壁上石块脱落的声音。

"......"

两人身边白灰飘扬,贺泽呛了一声,急忙将林煜的手拉了过来,没有看到什么伤痕这才松了口气,随即一拍他的脑袋,"真当你手是石头做的了?傻啊你!"

"我......"

林煜仰头看了贺泽一眼,见他眉宇间的担忧,所有的声音都淹没在了喉咙里。

"By the way, I told you not to go up the mountain when it was cold, but you still went up the mountain. It's fine to go up the mountain, but you didn't go down the mountain when it snowed so heavily. Are you stupid? If it weren't for me..." He Ze paused, his face darkened, "You hunt all year round, but you don't even know this little common sense? Do you know that you almost died this time? You don't take yourself seriously at all, right?"

"I..." "

What do you mean by "I"! If you don't give me a reasonable explanation today, I..." He Ze gritted his teeth and didn't say another word for a long time.

"I didn't mean it. I was chasing a fire fox when it just snowed. You know I've been looking for foxes for so long. Fire foxes are even rarer. Xiao An must like them. I forgot the time for a while, and then I finally caught the fox, but it was getting dark again. I was afraid that Am would worry, so I wanted to go down the mountain while the snow was falling. Then, I..."

Lin Yu lowered his eyes, and his voice became lower and lower. Like a child who had done something wrong.

There was a silence in the air for a long time, and then He Ze's voice rang out, "Do you know you're wrong?"

"I know..."

Lin Yu twisted his clothes.

"Will there be a next time?"

"No."

"Do you like me?"

"I like..." Before he finished speaking, Lin Yu suddenly raised his head, his face flushed, "You, you do this again..."

"What about me?" He Ze smiled lightly, but the smile did not reach his eyes. He sighed and held the person in front of him in his arms, "Xiao Yu'er, you really scared me this time."

He Ze's voice was very low, with a strong fear and the joy of regaining what he had lost. He never thought that in just a few months, someone would occupy such a heavy weight in his heart.

Burying his head in Lin Yu's neck, He Ze took a deep breath, and his arms tightened more and more, almost making Lin Yu breathless.

But he didn't want to push him away at all.

Lin Yu was stunned for a moment, slowly raised his hands, and wrapped them around He Ze's waist.

The two people were like conjoined twins, tightly pressed together.

I don't know how much time has passed. He Ze rubbed his head against Lin Yu's neck, and a gurgling voice with a smile sounded, "Xiao Yu'er, now... are you allowed to marry you?"

"..."

"Yes?" Glancing at Lin Yu's red ears, He Ze's smile became even stronger.

"You..." Lin Yu pushed the person in his arms away, "Go away!"

"If you don't answer, I will take it as your consent. Let dad propose marriage when I get home."

"No!" Lin Yu frowned and blurted out subconsciously, "This, this is too fast, I..."

"Fast? Where is fast?" He Ze raised his eyebrows.

"That's right, that's right..." Lin Yu hesitated to speak, glanced at him and pouted, "Anyway, you have to ask me first if you want to propose marriage. I have to say yes!"

"...Well, let's not propose marriage first, let's get engaged first, is that okay?" He Ze straightened Lin Yu's head with a burning look. The night is long and dreams are many. What

if this cooked duck flies away again? Who can he go to? Not to mention that there are a lot of people waiting to poach!

"If you say no more, I'll go talk to Aunt Lin directly after I get back."

He Ze said in a slow voice. Lin Yu glared at him again, and after a long time, he finally nodded.

"How good you are now!"

Seeing him nod, He Ze could hardly hide the smile on his face. He rubbed Lin Yu's soft head, then turned around and half-knelt in front of Lin Yu, "Come up, we should go home."

"I'm fine, I don't need you to carry me." Lin Yu didn't move, he was not a three-year-old child.

"You've been hungry for two days, aren't you hungry? Did you use the energy you had last night to practice boxing? Also, I saw you limping when you walked just now. Is your leg okay?"

"I..."

Lin Yu had just uttered a word when his stomach rumbled. He Ze laughed, "Did you hear that? Your stomach is protesting. Come up quickly, let's go home early. Aunt Lin must be worried."

He patted his shoulder again.

Lin Yu touched his belly, and finally walked a few steps to He Ze and climbed onto his back. "By the way, my backpack and bow and arrow..."

"They're outside, they won't be lost."

He Ze lifted Lin Yu's knee, straightened his back, and walked out of the cave in a few steps. The sky and the earth were still covered with white fog, covered in silver, and the snow reflected the sunlight, shining brightly.

He put the backpack and bow and arrow on the stone. Lin Yu lowered his head and picked them up. Seeing that they were empty, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

"It's just a fox? You didn't hurt its vital parts, and it won't run away? You almost lost your life, why don't you learn your lesson?"

"I... I said I didn't mean it, don't mention it again." Lin Yu pouted and wrapped his hands around He Ze's neck.

He didn't even realize that he was becoming more and more childish in front of He Ze.

"Okay, don't mention it," He Ze took big steps and stepped over the snow piles one by one. In one day, perhaps because the sun was strong enough, the snow had melted a lot. "Help me watch the road. If we fall, no one will come to save us."

"Yes." Lin Yu nodded heavily.

The two walked at a moderate pace. Lin Yu changed his usual calmness and talked nonstop along the way, "By the way, when did you find me? How did you find me?"

"...Guess?"

"No guess, you must be waiting for me again," Lin Yu shook his head, as if he remembered something, and touched his chest again, "And my injuries, are all healed?"

Although his feet were not completely healed, the swelling had subsided.

"This, do you really want to know?" He Ze paused, with a smile on his face, "If I tell you that your man is a god, do you believe it?"

"You lied to me again..." Lin Yu lightly hit his shoulder.

"I'm telling the truth. Isn't Bai Suzhen also a goblin?" This tickling force made He Ze take another step, "Look, he is a goblin who came to repay his gratitude, and I am a god. Suddenly one day I heard you say that you want to get married. You are so beautiful, didn't I move my heart and come down to find you?"

"He Ze!!!"

This voice was really gnashing teeth. Although He Ze couldn't see Lin Yu's face, he could imagine his expression at the moment, and couldn't help laughing, "Okay, if you really want to hear it, I'll tell you slowly in the future. But it's hard to say whether it's a god or a ghost..."

Since he has decided to carry this person on his back, he has never thought of hiding it from him for a lifetime. Honesty and trust are the most basic respect. I just hope you won't be afraid.

He stopped laughing, and then spoke in a voice so low that Lin Yu couldn't hear it at all.

"I'll tell you slowly and completely in the future, okay?"

He Ze tilted his head, speaking solemnly, but before Lin Yu could answer, he suddenly glanced to the side, "Lin Yu, did you hear any sound?"

Chapter 58

"Sound?" Lin Yu also listened attentively, and then asked in confusion, "No, is it the wind?"

Although the sun was shining, there was occasionally wind in the mountains, perhaps it was the sound of the wind blowing down the snow branches.

"No."

He Ze shook his head affirmatively, and bent down in an instant. Lin Yu got off his back and took out the bow and arrows on his back. "What did you hear?"

Now that his legs and feet were inconvenient, it would be troublesome if He Ze couldn't do anything alone.

"It's okay, don't worry," seeing Lin Yu frowning, He Ze said to comfort him, "It's just a few weak whimpers, it shouldn't be a large beast."

Before he finished speaking, He Ze closed his eyes again, his eyes fixed on the right direction, "Wait for me here, I'll go and take a look."

"Hey, you--"

Before Lin Yu finished speaking, He Ze had already pushed away the snow pile supported by the bushes in front of him, and every step he took was covered with snow, and soon he couldn't see the figure clearly.

Lin Yu was stunned, and hurriedly held the surrounding trees to follow.

After walking for hundreds of steps and bypassing several towering trees, He Ze finally stopped at a dense bush.

Before he could dig through the snow, Lin Yu's voice came from behind him, "I heard it, it was the sound of an animal cub, but I don't know..."

"I told you to wait there but you didn't listen." He Ze tilted his head and glanced at him, but his words of blame were not reproachful at all.

He naturally heard it when Lin Yu caught up with him, but he didn't stop him because he knew there was no danger.

"...Didn't I send you a bow and arrow because I was afraid you would be in danger?" Lin Yu squatted beside He Ze and helped him dig through the snow. "By the way, how did you hear it at such a distance just now?"

He has been hunting for so many years, and he is confident that he can hear any movement, but now... his hearing is not as good as He Ze's. No, that's not right! It's so far away, and the sound is so weak. There are other noises in the mountains. It would be strange for He Ze to hear it, right?

"Of course..."

He Ze paused. He wanted to answer that of course he heard it with his ears, but now he realized that he didn't hear it, he felt it.

He clenched his palms and found the power surging in his body.

His superpowers have been upgraded after being exhausted yesterday.

"I told you that your man is a god, don't disbelieve it." He Ze glanced at Lin Yu and finally came back to his senses.

His superpowers have been upgraded again, which is a good thing.

This world is not absolutely safe. Although there are no zombies, there are others... For a modern person, the right to life and freedom is very important, but here the emperor is supreme, life and death are decided. He abides by the rules, but it does not mean that he is willing to compromise. It is

always good to have more chips.

It turns out that even if this is no longer the end of the world, the factor that has been rooted in his mind for ten years to desire strength still exists. Thinking of this, He Ze suddenly laughed, and he didn't know what he was laughing at.

But this laugh was full of mockery.

Lin Yu looked up at him, but he met the loneliness in He Ze's eyes that had not yet been put away, and... sadness, isolation from the world.

An inexplicable bitterness spread in his heart, it was heartache.

Just when he was about to say something, his hand suddenly found nothing. He subconsciously tilted his head and saw a large gap in the center of the bushes. There were several puppies of different colors and the size of a palm.

"Woo... Squeak..."

The strange smell on He Ze and Lin Yu probably made them a little uneasy. A gray-black puppy stared at Lin Yu with its black eyes, then pulled its legs back. There was also a yellow and white puppy that just blinked and continued to lie down with its legs bent.

Very weak.

As for the rest, Lin Yu touched the other puppies and his face looked a little bad, "Dead. This is a litter, born not long ago, no big ones have been seen, there must be some accident."

The heavy snow came too suddenly. If the big dogs met some predatory beasts, they would basically not be able to come back.

"Then... how about we take them back?" It seemed that He Ze just now was just Lin Yu's illusion. He could no longer see anything unusual. "Dogs are loyal and have a keen sense of smell. You can take them with you when you go hunting in the future. If the prey escapes, it will be much easier to catch them."

Lin Yu pondered for a moment and then nodded.

Seeing his approval, He Ze bent down and took the two alive and gently stroked their backs. The yellow and white one suddenly opened his eyes and kept arching into He Ze's arms, occasionally raising his head and licking He Ze's chin.

The gray and black one was also unwilling to lag behind, and even its claws pulled open the outer shirt on He Ze's chest.

There was no longer the listless look just now.

"They, they don't think you are..." Lin Yu's eyes were complicated.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" He Ze raised his eyebrows. The two had been hungry for a long time. He just fed them a little life. It couldn't die as soon as he took them back.

He put the two little ones in the backpack and carried Lin Yu on his back again. During this time, someone's stomach kept growling. When they reached the foot of the mountain, the sun was already setting.

"Put me down, Mom must be waiting for me at the entrance of the village," Lin Yu patted He Ze on the shoulder, paused and said, "There are others too."

"You are the only one who is nosy!"

He Ze said with a cold face. Lin Yu was not afraid of him. He came down and held his arm and took careful steps.

As he expected, almost as soon as they came out of the forest, they saw a lot of people gathered at the intersection. There were several elders in the village, and many villagers. Li was with Zhang, and Xu Qingsheng was standing next to them.

"He's back, he's back! Look, Brother Yu is back!"

I don't know who shouted, and the scene immediately became a mess. Zhang was stunned for a long time, and then she threw herself on Lin Yu with tears and laughter, and her tears could not stop flowing.

"It's okay, Mom, I'm fine, just a minor injury," Lin Yu was obediently held in Zhang's arms, and patted his back gently, "It's okay, it's okay."

"I'm glad you're okay. The villagers are worried about you. Your uncle He and uncle Zhao took people up the mountain, and they haven't come back yet!" A fifty-year-old elder shook his beard and smiled. As soon as he said this, he seemed to think of something and hurriedly called the two people next to him, "Go, go, call the people back for me, it's cold!"

The two responded and left.

Standing around were all Lin Yu's uncles and aunts. At this time, they all surrounded him and asked about his well-being. Lin Yu's eyes were hot and he answered kindly for a long time. Mom and son thanked him again and again, and then said goodbye.

Before leaving, he looked back again and again, but he never found He Ze, and finally let Zhang take him away. Xu Qingsheng followed the two slowly.

Outside the crowd, He Baoer stood under the eaves dripping with snow, with an expression that didn't know whether she was happy or angry. She didn't wait until Lin Yu disappeared, then she pinched the hem of her clothes and went in the opposite direction.

In the other direction, Li Jinfeng rubbed her frozen red hands, spat on the ground, but then paused, a cold smile appeared on her face, and she disappeared in a few steps.

...

In the main room of the Lin family, Xu Qingsheng helped Lin Yu to check, and asked Zhang to apply medicine, and then he solemnly warned, "Don't worry, the lumps have gone away, it's just a minor injury. But Yu'er, you have to take good care of yourself now. If you hadn't left a root of the disease last time, how could you have sprained it so easily again? If you don't pay attention to it, you will really have to walk with a limp next time!"

"Uncle Xu, I know, I will definitely take good care of my injury," Lin Yu promised. He was scared by Xu Qingsheng, and he was really worried at this time.

Limping? Would He Ze want him with a limp? Lin Yu tilted his head with a smile on his face, and didn't even notice Zhang coming in with food.

"What are you thinking about? You were absent-minded when you got home. Were you scared by something on the mountain?" Zhang put the stewed meat porridge on the table and touched Lin Yu's forehead again.

"Mom, there is nothing on the mountain that can scare me!" Lin Yu came back to his senses, carefully putting on a smile, and seeing Xu Qingsheng still standing beside him, he suddenly seemed to remember something, "Mom, I heard from Uncle Xu that you fainted before, is everything okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay, your Uncle Xu prescribed some medicine, but you, such a worry..." Zhang poked Lin Yu's forehead, and her eyes turned red in an instant.

"Mom, I'm really fine. I will be careful in the future and won't do this again."

"You won't listen unless you suffer a little loss, and you don't think about the fact that Mom is going to lose you... and the villagers, they are all your uncles and aunts. We have really troubled them these two days. When you get better, we have to thank them door to door..." Zhang choked up, wiped her eyes, turned to look at Xu Qingsheng next to her, "Your Uncle Xu has been worried about you these two days. He didn't go back to town and has been waiting for news. You..." "

I watched Yu Ge'er grow up. This is a small matter. Is it necessary to be so polite?"

He was worried about both of them, so he simply stayed overnight in a family with a vacant house in the village.

"I..." Zhang lowered her eyes, and then said, "His Uncle Xu, you didn't go home yesterday, and it's late today..."

"Yes, Mom, it's so late, Uncle Xu must be hungry..."

Lin Yu scooped a spoonful of hot meat porridge into his mouth and mumbled incoherently.

"Yes, yes, I've been hungry all day. Ouch, my stomach!" Upon hearing Lin Yu's words, Xu Qingsheng's hand immediately touched his belly.

"..."

The two of them sang in unison, and Zhang swallowed her words of driving them away. She looked around at the two of them and finally compromised, "There's still some in the pot. I'll go get it for you."

"No, no, I can go by myself." Xu Qingsheng's face was full of joy, and he waved his hands and said, "I can go by myself. Why are you so polite? Brother Yu just came back, you two can have a good chat."

Before he finished speaking, Xu Qingsheng had already walked out of the room.

Lin Yu glanced at his back, "Mom, Uncle Xu is a really nice person, you..."

"What do you know, kid! Let me ask you," Zhang pulled out a stool and sat in front of Lin Yu, and said very seriously, "Did you go down the mountain with the He family kid?"

"Yes, He Ze went to the mountain to find me." Lin Yu slowed down his porridge scooping, paused and added, "He went there yesterday. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be able to come back."

Before he finished speaking, his eyes were already red.

Zhang was silent for a long time, and also held back her tears, "He is so loyal, but that kid is also a fool!"

"Mom, I want to get engaged to He Ze." Lin Yu suddenly raised his eyes, his tone was not open to questioning.

No matter what happens, he will suffer with him. If he dies, he will take good care of Mom and Uncle He and Aunt He, and go with him.

He doesn't want to give this person to others. Even if... he knows that he deserves better.

"Have you figured it out?"

"Yeah."

"It's good that you figured it out. As long as you two are of one mind, there is no obstacle that you can't overcome, right?" Zhang smiled and sighed, "Mom has been looking forward to it for so many years. When I think about you getting married, I feel nervous... The boy from the He family is a good one, and you are older than him. You should give in to him in everything in the future. Men are still children no matter how old they are. They need to be coaxed. You..."

"Mom! Stop talking!" Seeing that Zhang was getting more and more excited, Lin Yu interrupted him with a shy face, and hurriedly fed himself a mouthful of porridge, "By the way, Mom, the two puppies in my backpack..."

"This... I forgot about it because I was busy," Zhang suddenly slapped her thigh and stood up, "Those two little things are pitiful. I'll scoop some porridge to feed them. After all, you two brought them back from the snowy mountains!"

Zhang quickly disappeared from the room, and Lin Yu ate the porridge mouthful by mouthful, with a smile on his face for a long time.

Sweet.

...

On the other side, because there were many people around Lin Yu, Li carefully inspected He Ze from head to toe. Seeing that he had no injuries, she took him away by the ear.

He Ze was talked to the doorstep all the way, and his attitude of admitting his mistakes was very good.

But... "Mom, we are almost home, can you let my ears go first?"

If Xiao An saw it, it would probably make him laugh for a whole year.

"What's the point? You are really capable! You went up the mountain by yourself without telling your father and mother. Do you know how dangerous it is? I know you are worried about Yu Ge'er, but..."

"Mom, I know I was wrong, you..." In order to cooperate with Li's actions, He Ze half-bent his waist, his eyes turned aside, but he suddenly stopped and the smile on his face was also put away, "Mom, we have guests."

In front, a man in his thirties was pacing back and forth outside the gate of the He family courtyard. He looked very young, wearing a red coat with a fur collar, and holding two hands full of things, with a rich and noble demeanor.

But when Li saw him, the hand that was holding He Ze's ear loosened immediately, and her face darkened.

Chapter 59

"Brother Li, Xiaoze, you are back!" The man came up to them immediately after seeing them, his face smiling like a chrysanthemum, "I've been waiting at the door for a long time, wondering where you have been!"

"I thought it was someone else, it turned out to be Baoer's mother," Li said lightly, "What are you waiting for? Isn't Brother An at home?"

"Hey, oh! Look at me, I haven't said it clearly, Brother An is here! Yes, it's... Brother An probably hasn't seen my aunt for a long time, and there are some misunderstandings, so..."

So he knocked on the door for a long time outside in this cold weather, but he just pretended not to see him! If not, if not... I don't know what she thought of, Zhou's palms were tightened red by the rope holding the gift.

"So he didn't open the door for you? The child is still young, what a fool," Li clasped his hands in front of his abdomen. It sounded like a reproach, but with his smile, his face was full of sarcasm, "But maybe the family has changed recently, he has become much more sensible, how could he not open the door for his aunt!"

"..."

Zhou was choked by Li's words and lost her voice for a moment, her face became even uglier.

However, he just paused, and shifted his gaze to He Ze, who was standing aside and had not spoken. "Ange doesn't remember my aunt, but Xiaoze must remember, right? When did you go home before and not run to my aunt's house!"

"My memory is worse than Xiaoan's, but..."

"But what but, you have been in that mountain for so long, you are cold and hungry, come in quickly, I asked Ange to prepare hot water for you, go take a bath first, the food is still hot, go quickly!"

Before He Ze finished speaking, he was pushed to the gate of the courtyard by Li. He didn't want to argue with this man, so he followed He An who opened the door and went into the house one after another. Zhou, who was behind him, just caught up, but the two courtyard doors slammed shut.

"This child, I'm afraid he will get angry! I will have a good talk with him later," Li stopped Zhou, "What did you come here for today? Let's talk about it outside. It's refreshing in the wind, otherwise, my heart is burning with anxiety!"

"Brother Li, you..."

"Okay, okay, let's not keep it a secret. You know what you did. You threw the face of our He family on the ground and stepped on it! Our ancestors have been in Hejia Village for generations, and now we have made a joke of ourselves in Youcai's generation. Do you know what the villagers say about our family? If it weren't for the fact that your dead man and Youcai were brothers since childhood, and you are orphans and widows, otherwise..."

Otherwise, even if they asked the elders of the clan and the head of the village to judge, or even worse, they went to the government office, how could they live a peaceful life!

Li glanced at He Mu with a cold look.

But Zhou would never give up so easily. If he had any dignity, he would not have come here. His temper can be seen from He Baoer, and it is even too much.

He held the gate and talked miserably for a long time, but Li refused to listen. Zhou picked up the things in his hand and left angrily.

After he walked away, he looked back again and again, but Li glared at him back and closed the door with a loud bang. Only then did he show a real smile on his face.

When he entered the room, He Ze had finished his bath and was sitting at the table to eat. He An sat opposite him, holding his chin with his hands and watching him eat.

"What's wrong? Is An Ge hungry too?" Li pulled out a stool and sat down next to He An. The next moment she said with relief, "I did the right thing today. I just shouldn't have let that shameless guy in. Our family has been talked about behind our backs some time ago! If life hadn't gotten better, this whole family

would..." Li's voice became lower as she spoke. He An stood up and stood behind him to massage his shoulders. "Mom, I know. I didn't let him in because I knew it. And He Baoer also came here two days ago, and I chased him away! They are so mean. When we were eating corn porridge, we sent white rice to their family!"

"Yes, so mean!"

Li was amused by He An's indignant tone. "Just now, Zhou wanted to give us a gift. From what he said, they were all the best things. What is he doing? Do you really think we are so shallow? I get angry when I think about this!"

"Okay, Mom, don't be angry. Didn't you drive him away?" He Ze lowered his head and took a bite of rice.

"He was driven away this time! What about next time? What about the next time? It's been so many years, and I still don't know who Zhou is!" Li said unhappily, obviously still angry.

He Ze paused noticeably when he heard what he said, "You're right, we have to find a way to solve this problem quickly."

Otherwise, He Baoer will go to the Lin family and make trouble again. By then, even if Lin Yu can bear it, he can't bear it either...

"No, no! Let's quickly settle the marriage between you and Yu'er!" Li pondered for a moment and said with a dark face, "The two mothers really have a good plan. They don't even look at He Baoer's appearance. She's still a second-hand person. What do they think of you! A cuckold?"

"...Mom, how can you say that to your son?"

He Ze was helpless. He cleaned the bowl in a few swipes and then put down his chopsticks. "What I discussed with Lin Yu was to settle the marriage first. There's no need to prepare much for the engagement. We can just let Aunt Wang take us there. You can discuss the date with Dad. However, you also said the sooner the better, so..."

"Okay, okay, okay! Let's do it!" After hearing his words, the dark mood on Li's face finally dissipated, and she patted He An's palm, "This is the first time that your brother listens to mother so much, all thanks to Yu Ge'er!"

"..."

Knowing that Li was teasing, He Ze did not answer him.

The mother and son talked about the engagement for a while. Before leaving, He Ze threw twenty taels of silver to Li, saying that he and the restaurant manager Yu had paid in advance.

Because He Ze had mentioned before that he had a cooperation with the manager, although Li felt that the money came easily, she did not doubt anything, but just asked He Ze to thank him.

He's father came back after the sun went down. Li prepared a sumptuous dinner, and after eating, she pulled He's father into the bedroom. He Ze knew what they talked about, chatted with He An for a while, and returned to his room. He did

not sleep all night.

...

Three days passed in a blink of an eye. Perhaps because the sun was so strong during these two days, the snow had almost melted by the third day. He Ze called Liu San and He Dalang and drove the ox cart carefully to the town.

If they hadn't come to see him in the heavy snow this time, Lin Yu...

At the table in the restaurant, He Ze drank a glass of wine fiercely.

"You can drink, but how can you drink like this! This sister-in-law is safe, Dalang and I have to toast you a glass," Liu San stood up, took He Ze's glass with a red face, and filled it up and handed it back, "Come on, Dalang, you stand up too, let's toast He Ze a glass!"

"Yes, it was safe, God bless, this glass has to be toasted!"

The three of them drank a glass of wine each, and their lungs were burning, just like the atmosphere at the table.

"By the way, He Ze, I heard that He Baoer went to your house to see you again?"

After three rounds of drinking, Liu San was chewing the braised elbow with his mouth full of oil. When he asked this question, the expression on his face was very... hard to describe.

"Everyone in the village has heard about this. What do those two girls think? Do they really think you are stupid?"

"Probably." He Ze said expressionlessly.

On the second day after he came down the mountain, He Baoer came to his house to look for him again, crying so hard that his heart was broken. After all, they were brothers and sisters. He's father almost softened his heart. Fortunately, Li didn't open the door.

But if it goes on like this...

He Ze frowned tightly. He thought about it for two or three days, but couldn't come up with a good solution. He Baoer was confused, but the original body had been friends with him for more than ten years. He occupied the original body's body, so he couldn't do anything too much.

"But dragging this matter out is not a solution, right? The engagement day is just a few days away, right? Aren't you afraid that your wife will be irritated and aim the arrow just like last time, and shoot, tut tut..."

"Okay, I'm worried about it, right?" He Ze picked up the wine glass and took a sip, but suddenly looked at Liu San, "Do you have any solution?"

"Solution?" Liu San moved the wine glass in front of him and said mysteriously, "Not really. We have to treat the disease with the right remedy! Since He Baoer wants to get married so much, let's..."

"What? You want to marry him?" He Ze raised his eyebrows, chuckled and raised the glass suddenly, "Okay, then thank you brother for sticking with me and sacrificing yourself. Let me drink

first to show my respect." Before he finished speaking, he just put the cup to his mouth, but Liu San pulled it down, "What the hell! That's not what I meant. My father is personally arranging a marriage for me, and it's been two or three years... Okay, let's not talk about this. I mean, since he wants to get married so much, why don't we let him get married?"

"What do you mean?"

"One hates to get married, let's find someone who hates to get married, add fuel to the flames... Hehehe, then you won't have anything to do, right?"

"This... will work?" He Ze frowned so hard that he could kill a fly, "Liu San, I never realized that you have the habit of being a matchmaker!" "

I'm not doing this for you!" Liu San rolled his eyes, "Whether it works or not, we'll know if we try it. What kind of person would He Baoer want to marry after being a concubine? It's good that someone is willing to marry him, while the matter hasn't been exposed yet, otherwise why would the two mothers cling to you so much? I think this is reliable, but we just need a candidate! Dalang, you say!" "It's a

good idea, but... who can be so blind?"

He Ze pondered without saying a word, his eyes turned around casually but suddenly stopped.

On the high platform, Wei Quan was talking freely, and his apprentice stood beside him, holding a few ingots of broken silver on an iron plate that was very dazzling.

"I thought of someone."

He Ze swirled the clear wine in the glass, and finally put it firmly on the table, his eyes dim and unclear.

Chapter 60

The author has something to say: I want to apologize to you. It is three o'clock now. I am so tired. Please don't get stuck again!!! Qaq

Also: I just saw that I received a shallow water bomb. Aww, I am so excited that I can't sleep. Thank you, Mu Jin, my little baby. I am sorry for the expense. I will update more tomorrow. Thank you!!!

There are also mines from the three babies, Yu Lou Ming Sha and the monster who lost his name, and nutrient solution from other babies. I bow to thank you. Mu mu da~ The

person he remembered was Li Dali.

It seems that he still owed this person two taels of silver. Because he never took it to heart, he hasn't paid it back yet.

"Li Dali?"

"Do you remember Wu Cui's adulterer Li Dafu? His younger brother." He Ze picked up the wine glass and took a sip. He was a little surprised when he knew about this.

After all, when dealing with Xiao An's marriage, Li also told him a little about Li Dali. Li Dali's brother and sister-in-law are well-known in the surrounding villages for being harsh, but his brother Li Dafu is also well-known for being weak-willed and henpecked.

But such a henpecked man dared to cheat on his wife right under her nose, which made Liu San and He Dalang suspect that they had found the wrong place.

"I have some impression of him, the one who was badly cheated by his mother and brother and sister-in-law?" Liu San pondered for a moment, then looked excited, "At his age, he must be crazy about marrying a wife!"

"Don't be so excited, no matter how much he wants to marry a wife, he won't marry a divorced one, right? Is he still a man?" He Dalang coldly poured a basin of cold water on Liu San.

"This..."

"Let's see what happens," He Ze took out two taels of silver from his purse and pushed it in front of Liu San and He Dalang. Glancing at their suspicious eyes, he couldn't help but chuckle, "Don't get me wrong. I owed Li Dali two taels of silver before, and you helped me pay it back. Take back the debt deed. By the way, tell him about He Baoer. Don't tell him the details, just let him know that there is such a person."

"Don't say anything else?"

"Don't say anything. Whether Li Dali wants to marry or He Baoer wants to marry, how can we decide?" He Ze paused and tapped the table with his fingertips. "Although the fact that He Baoer is an abandoned concubine has not been exposed, there are rumors in the village. Li Dali can know this if he pays a little attention. Let's not say it, just treat it as... a courtesy."

After the voice fell, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

"It's okay, but we won't do anything..." Liu San hesitated.

"It's okay, let's do it this way. If this method doesn't work, we can think of another way."

He Ze waved his hand.

Although he hated He Baoer's entanglement, this person did not touch his bottom line. It would be good if He Baoer could marry far away and no longer appear in front of him, but he didn't want to use other means to decide He Baoer's life.

In this way, the original body's "love" for more than ten years will be fulfilled.

It's the best.

"Okay, since you said so, then we will listen to you!" Liu San glanced at He Ze, but sighed, "I'm not saying anything bad about you, He Ze, you are not still thinking about the old relationship with He Baoer, right? Although Li Dali is not a good husband candidate, he is more than enough to marry He Baoer, you..."

"Don't worry, it's not true, I know it."

His ultimate goal is to make He Baoer stop pestering him and the He family. If He Baoer and Zhou are really stubborn, then he can't be blamed.

His patience has always been limited.

No matter what, He Baoer's existence must not affect the relationship between him and Lin Yu, otherwise...

He Ze lowered his eyes, and a sinister look flashed across his eyes.

"It's enough for you to know this in your heart. Dalang and I have said our all. You have had friendship for many years, but you know how much this friendship is worth to He Baoer," Liu San stood up and picked up the wine jug to fill He Ze's glass again. "I think Lin Yu is much better than He Baoer. Just be content!"

"Very content," He Ze smiled. "By the way, has Wu Cui been to Lijia Village recently?"

"She didn't go for a long time after the accident. Dalang and I thought the relationship was going to break up, but she went there again not long after. I guess Wu Cui didn't have a good time at the Lin family. She went there frequently this month. Even though we didn't pay attention, we saw her coming back from Lijia Village two or three times!"

"This is a good thing. We can close the net after a while."

The Lin family is a thorn in Lin Yu's heart, and it's the kind that would stir from time to time. He has to help him pull this thorn out.

"Well, it's really good news. Let's have another drink."

The three of them stopped talking about business and chatted for a while until they were full and paid the bill and left the restaurant together.

"He Ze, this meal is too expensive. I still have two coins here. How about..."

Just after leaving the restaurant, perhaps seeing that He Ze paid a little too much, Liu San and He Dalang looked at each other, and the latter took out two coins from his belt and handed them to He Ze.

"It's okay, I said I'll treat you. One meal won't break me," He Ze chuckled and pushed the silver back, "You have helped me so much, it's only right to treat you for ten or eight meals. If you can't afford it, I will treat you to a roadside noodle stall." During

this time, he has understood the temperament of these two people. Unless something serious happens, they can still be trusted for their loyalty. Moreover,

one is quick-witted and the other is thoughtful, so they are a perfect match. In the future, when the medicinal materials business grows bigger, it will be nice to ask them for help.

He Ze glanced at Liu San and He Dalang, and an idea came to his mind.

"After I recovered from my injury, I found a way to make some money, and I have a small savings. Let's go. I'm about to get engaged, so I'll buy some things for the elders."

Seeing that he couldn't persuade He Ze, He Dalang also accepted the silver.

Originally, he thought that He Ze meant buying some things for the elders, for Uncle He, Aunt He, and Aunt Lin, but he never thought that their father and mother would also have some. Liu San and He Dalang didn't know whether to accept it or not.

"Take it. When I was injured, my uncle and aunt sent a lot of things to me. I didn't come to their house now that I'm better. You can help me take them back, which is also a greeting." After

He Ze said this, Liu San and He Dalang didn't have the nerve to refuse. The three of them walked around the street market, each carrying two hands full of things, and finally stopped in front of a famous jewelry store.

"He Ze, are you going to buy a gift for your sister-in-law?" Liu San smiled maliciously.

He Ze didn't answer, but it was obvious that he agreed. Li had already prepared the engagement gift, but he couldn't just skimp on his gift.

As soon as they entered, a waiter came to take the things, "Sir, please take a look. I'll keep the things for you and give them to you when you leave."

Freeing his hands and rejecting Liu San's offer of various pearl hairpins and bracelets, He Ze stopped in front of the counter where jade accessories were displayed.

Now when he thought of men, at least men in appearance, wearing pearl hairpins and bracelets, he still couldn't help but feel a chill. If it was Lin Yu...

He Ze closed his eyes, he felt that he could bear it.

Well, bear it.

Of course, this is only one of the reasons. He just remembered that jade is very useful. Beautiful jade was created by heaven and earth, and it contains vitality. Only then can it show spiritual energy and moisturizing, and it can be used for health care.

Because he had seen a piece of good jade by chance at the end of the world, he knew it at that time. However, this function was just a chicken rib in the end of the world, useless to other superpowers, and for wood superpowers... it was not as good as a tree.

And now, looking at these jade pendants in front of him, he could see the green fluorescence flowing inside the jade pendants. Some were more, some were less, some were pure, and some were scattered.

He Ze's eyes quickly stopped on an oval white jade. The shopkeeper had a keen eye and immediately took the jade pendant out from the counter, "Sir, you have good eyes. This is the best mutton-fat jade, carved by a master engraver. If you like it, I will pack it for you right away?"

"Mutton-fat jade? How much?"

He Ze took the white jade in his hand and found that the four words "good luck and good fortune" were engraved on the front and back of it. The whole body was emerald green, cold to the touch, and the texture was round. Although there were a few black spots on it, they were also considered white jade flaws.

Very good.

"Only twelve taels of silver!"

The shopkeeper smiled so hard that his teeth were not visible, and he immediately raised two fingers.

"Twelve taels?"

He Ze looked a little embarrassed. Yes - he had no money.

When he came to the town earlier, he sold a pot of flowers to Mr. Cai in the Flower and Bird Alley and received thirty taels of silver. Excluding the twenty taels he gave to Li, he still had ten taels left. He had saved a little before, probably around fifteen taels, but he never spent money in a steady manner. Now he still had... ten taels of silver.

Money is not enough when it is needed. With Lin Yu, he was afraid that he would not be able to make money in the future.

"Twelve taels, isn't that too expensive? Shopkeeper, can't we negotiate and give it a little less?"

Twelve taels! Liu San trembled when he heard it. This was enough for their family to spend for three years!

"Not expensive, not expensive, this is mutton-fat jade!" The shopkeeper waved his hand, his eyes sparkling, "You get what you pay for. So, it's fate that you can enter my shop. Let's save two cents and make a good relationship. What do you think?"

"Two cents..." He Ze pursed his lips, "How about this, I'll order this jade pendant first, pay you the deposit today, and bring the money to pick it up in a few days. Is this feasible?"

"This..."

"Of course not!"

Before the shopkeeper finished speaking, a voice came from behind. He Ze turned around, but he didn't expect that he had seen this person before.

"You... why are you here?" The shopkeeper saw who was coming and immediately walked out from the counter. As he walked, he greeted the guy who was wiping, "Hurry up and make tea, the young master is here!"

It was the young master surnamed Luo who had met him once before.

He was wearing thick clothes on this cold day, a blue coat with silver stripes, which was much more impressive than Zhou's pretending, but the fan in his hand... was still there.

"Brother, I didn't expect that we would meet again," Luo Zhanming smiled. He put away his folding fan and paused before saying, "The 'Black Beauty' that my brother gave to Mr. Cai some time ago is also a rare treasure. He always holds the flower and shows it off in the Flower and Bird Alley!"

Black Beauty is also a kind of rose, and its preciousness is not inferior to the soft and fragrant red. It is named because of its black color.

"Did Mr. Cai say that?" He Ze frowned.

"That's not the case. Mr. Cai refused to speak, and I tricked him. However, I have no intention of spreading it, so don't worry, brother." As if knowing what He Ze was worried about, Luo Zhanming explained, turned around and said, "Shopkeeper Guo, I owed this little brother a favor at first, so I'll give you a half-price discount on this jade pendant, and just put the loss in my account!"

"Okay, of course!" The shopkeeper nodded like pounding garlic.

"I'm afraid that's not..." "

There's nothing inappropriate. My little brother was generous enough to give me twenty taels last time, and I've always felt bad about it. Now it's only six taels. In the end, my little brother is the one who lost!" Luo Zhanming swung his folding fan and pretended to fan it twice.

He Ze noticed that the servant beside him took two steps back.

This man... is also a wonderful person.

"In that case, thank you."

He no longer refused and bowed to Luo Zhanming with his fists, who immediately returned the greeting.

An ordinary reunion.

After wrapping the jade pendant, the three of them immediately took their things and left. It was not until the evening that the ox cart finally returned to the entrance of Hejia Village.

Three days later, it was the ninth day of the eleventh month.

This day is a good day, suitable for getting married and accepting betrothal gifts.
