In the low courtyard——

Hua Shi found a fishing basket in a corner full of debris, put the mouse in it, and blocked the exit with a wooden board.

Hua Xiao pulled the dull Hua Ying and stood aside, watching Hua Shi's actions coldly with a pout and an unhappy look on his face.

She even claimed that it wasn't hers, that she had raised the mouse and deliberately used it to frame my second brother! She caused my second brother to be beaten and scolded by my grandmother. How shameless! How vicious!

Hua Shi acted as if he didn't notice the resentful look from the little girl, and took the basket containing the mice into the house and put it away.

Currently, she needs to use this mouse to test the effect of the spring water...

She turned a blind eye to the growing hatred and hostility towards her younger siblings. Regardless of whether she did anything wrong or not, they all believed it was her fault.

Now she just wanted to know what kind of attraction this spring water had on animals. Once she figured it out, she could use the spring water to attract pheasants and rabbits in the mountains... Eating meat would be easy and effortless.

Hua Shi seemed to see that a beautiful life was waving to her not far away...

"Dongdong...squeak..."

There were two knocks on the wooden door outside the yard. The person knocking was obviously a little impatient. He knocked twice and pushed the door open without waiting for the people in the house to respond.

"Hua Shi! It's me! I'm here to play with you! Are you home?"

When the flowers in the house were fresh and the mice were put away, and I was thinking about how to start the experiment, I heard a noisy and sharp voice coming from the yard.

Li Shucui walked straight into the yard, put her hands on her hips, frowned, and shouted a few words. She felt a little unhappy when she didn't get a response from Hua Shi.

She turned to look at Hua Xiao and Hua Ying standing beside her and asked in a shrill voice, "Hua Xiao, where is your sister?"

Hua Xiao protected Hua Ying behind him, straightened his small body, looked up at Li Shucui, and said unhappily, "How can you be so rude and just walk into someone else's house!"

Li Shucui curled her lips and said, "Didn't I knock on the door? Didn't you hear me just now?"

Hua Xiao spoke without hesitation, "Just because I knocked on the door, do I have to let you in? I also picked your wallet, so I can just take your money directly?"

Li Shucui subconsciously covered her belt, a hint of anger slowly emerged on her face, she raised her nose, glared, and said,

"How come you don't understand what I'm saying, girl? I'm too lazy to talk to you. I asked where your sister went. I was looking for her, not you. She didn't say anything. What are you talking about?"

Hua Xiao imitated her, put her hands on her hips, and said, "This is my home, why can't I say it?"

The two of them exchanged a few words, arguing back and forth. Hua Shi stood at the door, arms folded across his chest, watching leisurely.

Hua Xiao was sharp-eyed. He caught a glimpse of Hua Shi watching the show from the corner of his eye, glared at him, and said angrily, "What are you looking at? Get out of here with your people!"

When Hua Xiao turned around, Li Shucui also saw Hua Shi. She saw that Hua Shi was at home and had not come out for a long time, so she was scolded several times by this little brat.

Li Shucui's face was filled with anger. As usual, she angrily accused Hua Shi, "Hua Shi! How could you be like this! You knew I was coming, yet you still came out to meet me? What do you mean by that? Are you trying to break up with me?"

Hua Shi looked puzzled. She had been here for so long and had never seen her before. Now that she suddenly came to her house, she didn't know who she was.

Hua Shi thought about this and asked, "Who are you?"

Li Shucui's face was filled with anger. After hearing Hua Shi's question, she instantly became stiff and stared in disbelief. "No! You actually forgot who I am?! I am Shucui, Li Shucui."

Hua Shi's puzzled expression did not seem fake, and his eyes were confused.

Li Shucui suddenly remembered something, and a trace of emotion flashed across her face. Her eyes widened deliberately, and she said in surprise, "No, did you really hit your head?"

She had heard from the villagers for several days that Hua Shi had hit his head and had forgotten many things. She thought that Hua Shi had deliberately released him to scare her, but she didn't expect it to be true?

She had been so busy with the farming season these past two months that she hadn't even thought about Hua Shi...

In other words, Hua Shi really didn't remember that day when she took her into the mountains and watched her slide down the slope and hit her head...?

Li Shucui swallowed and looked at the flowers with evasive eyes, feeling guilty.

It's not that she didn't want to save her. She really didn't expect Hua Shi to be so stupid that day that she could step on air and fall down on such a mountain road. She was afraid that if something happened to her, Hua Shi's grandmother would blame her, so... When she saw Hua Shi bleeding so much that day, she thought she was going to die. She was scared and sneaked away.

Later, she heard from the villagers that the man had been rescued, but had a broken head and couldn't remember many things. She had wanted to come and see him, but she was worried that Hua Shi had deliberately tricked her into coming here to settle a score with her. After a few days of hesitation, the busy harvest season came around, and she forgot about it...

Suddenly thinking of what happened that day, Li Shucui did not dare to mention it again. The anger that had just appeared on her face also subsided. She said with a forced smile,

"I'm Li Shucui, your best friend in the village. We often went there to pick fruit. Do you still remember me?"

Hua Shi had been looking at Li Shucui and witnessed the changing expressions on Li Shucui's face. He found it a little funny for a moment.

Looking at Li Shucui's aggressive demeanor and the pretentious expression that she inadvertently revealed, Hua Shi roughly knew that the original owner and Li Shucui probably just had a fake sisterhood.

Not to mention that she had fallen and broken her head and had been recuperating at home for so many days, Li Shucui had not come to see her or look for her. The arrogance and self-righteous attitude she displayed when she came to her house after such a long time was very uncomfortable.
