Upon hearing this, Chen Chen was surprised and said, "He's from our village? I don't think I've seen him before."

After saying that, he looked at He Jinshu who was standing next to him with a strange look and said, "Ashu, why do you know him?" He didn't even know the Wu Youai you had before.

When Li Mo heard this, he couldn't help but complain in his heart: Xiaoshu has lived in the village for so long, what's so strange about knowing a villager? Why do you have to ask such questions?

After hearing this, He Jinshu put his arm around Chen Zhen's waist and said to him helplessly, "Don't overthink it. The villagers often talk about their family. I've heard some of it. His family treats him badly."

After hearing this, Chen Zhen nodded in relief, and then whispered to He Jinshu, "You can't like other boys, otherwise I will be angry, and I will hit people when I am angry."

After saying that, he raised his fist in front of He Jinshu.

He Jinshu raised his hand and held his fist, then smiled faintly and whispered to Chen Zhen: "I know, I won't think about others. Ah Zhen is so good, how could I think about others."

After hearing this, Chen Zhen nodded with satisfaction and gave He Jinshu a look that said, "You're smart."

He Jinshu looked at his smug little expression and couldn't help but reach out and pinch his face twice.

Li Mo, who was standing by, saw the two of them being so affectionate and felt it was unbearable to watch, so he turned his head away.

The servants all lowered their heads or looked away. After all, they were all teenagers and had never seen such a scene before. Some of them even blushed.

After a while, the people on the ground finally moved.

Wu Lian slowly opened his eyes and saw several men surrounding him. He was so scared that he couldn't help but shiver to the side.

Seeing that he had woken up, Chen Zhen bent down and said to him, "Hey, little brother, are you awake? You were just bitten by a poisonous snake, and I saved you. How do you feel now? Can you get up and walk on your own?"

When Wu Lian saw that it was Chen Zhen who saved him, he temporarily felt relieved. After all, everyone in the village had heard of Chen Zhen's name, and most importantly, he was a brother.

Thinking of this, Wu Lian opened his mouth and said to Chen Chen with difficulty: "Thank you, thank you."

Seeing this, Chen Zhen asked, "Can you get up by yourself?"

After hearing this, Wu Lian tried to sit up, but maybe he didn't have enough physical strength, or the toxins had not been cleared away yet. He just wanted to use his arms to support his body, but he only supported half of it and fell directly to the ground again, and the bamboo basket fell to the ground with him again.

Seeing that he couldn't get up, Chen Zhen said to him, "Forget it. If you can't get up, then we'll carry you back."

After he finished speaking, he directed two servants to find two strong wooden sticks, and then find some rattan to make a simple stretcher so that they could carry the person back later.

"Thank you." Wu Lian said a little exhausted while lying on the ground.

Chen Chen didn't respond to his thanks. Seeing that his lips were a little dry, he asked someone to bring a kettle and feed him some water.

Seeing Chen Zhen just letting the boy lie on the ground and then putting the kettle to his mouth to feed him water, Li Mo walked over to He Jinshu and asked him a little puzzledly: "Xiaoshu, why didn't your brother-in-law help him get up and drink water?"

We are all young men, it should be okay to give them a hand, right?

He Jinshu didn't say anything when he heard this, but a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"What are you laughing at?" Li Mo asked in confusion.

"You don't understand." He Jinshu said with a faint smile.

He Jinshu smiled because he suddenly remembered what Chen Zhen said to him: I am willing to take care of you because you are my partner, otherwise no one would dare to let me take care of you like this.

Now it seems that it’s not that no one dares to let Chen Zhen take care of them, but that Chen Zhen simply doesn’t take the initiative to take care of others. Of course, except for him, He Jinshu. This realization makes He Jinshu feel very good now.

Of course, Li Mo couldn't understand these things.

After hearing what He Jinshu said, Li Mo couldn't help but roll his eyes. He really didn't understand. Ever since He Jinshu got married, he couldn't understand him more and more.

After the servants prepared the stretcher, Chen Chen took the basket off Wu Lian's back, handed it to the servants, and then let Wu Lian sit on the stretcher.

After Wu Lian sat down, he stammered to Chen Chen, "Thank you, Brother Chen, for saving my life. I'm sorry to have caused you any trouble."

Chen Chen didn't discuss this topic with him. Instead, he asked Wu Lian expressionlessly while asking everyone to walk down the mountain, "Why did you come up the mountain alone to pick mushrooms?"

Wu Lian glanced at Chen Chen's expression, then grabbed the corner of his clothes with both hands and said nervously, "Mushrooms can be sold for money, but can't the mushrooms on this mountain be picked? If not, I won't come here to pick them in the future."

Chen Chen glanced at him, then asked, "Where are your family members? Why would you, a little kid, run all this way just to pick mushrooms?"

"Everyone in my family is busy." Wu Lian answered stutteringly. He felt a little scared by Shen Zhen's expression.

"I'm afraid it's not that your family is busy, but they just like to bully a little brother like you?" Chen Chen said pointedly.

When Wu Lian heard this, he quickly retorted, "No, no, I did it all voluntarily." If his family knew that he was gossiping about them outside, he would definitely be beaten again.

Chen Zhen didn't believe him at all. He had seen this situation many times. He just said, "I remember I told the village chief before that people in Wujia Village should not treat women and boys harshly. Didn't the head of your family tell you about this?"
