"I'll pay attention." Hua Shi nodded, not refusing her kindness.

Hua Xiao, who was originally following the two of them, was always worried. He looked around with his head raised, and listened to the voices of the villagers around him, which made him even more uneasy.

The small figure slipped into the crowd and disappeared from their sight in the blink of an eye. It had run into the crowd to see the dead wild boar...

The villagers who came to watch the fun were just there for the fun. After listening to some gossip and looking around for a while, when the novelty wore off, they scattered like birds and beasts and went back home.

Although February is not a very busy month, there is still work to do at home and in the fields. It is okay to just watch and listen to the lively gossip, but you still have to do the serious work.

After a while, the crowd dispersed a little, and with a wider view, Hua Shi also saw the dead wild boar lying beside the stream.

Just as Juanhua said, blood flowed along the river bank and stained a lot of ground. The area on the wild boar's belly looked like it had been pecked by a bird's beak. It was rotten and broken, and looked a bit scary.

Among them, Hua Xiao was also seen in the crowd of twos and threes, standing with his hands behind his back, among a group of adults and children, frowning, his face a little pale, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Hua Xiao, come here."

Hua Shi saw that her face looked strange, so he waved to her to come back.

Hua Xiao, immersed in her own thoughts, came back to her senses when she heard her own name. She trotted back to Hua Shi, clutching the corner of Hua Shi's clothes with one hand, her little face still a little pale.

He Juanhua, who was standing by, also noticed that something was wrong with Hua Xiao's face and exclaimed, "What's wrong with you, little girl? You're so pale? Are you scared? Blame me, blame me. I shouldn't have brought you here. It's really not good for a child to look at this bloody thing."

He Juanhua bent down, reached out and touched Hua Xiao's pale face, and said with some self-blame.

Hua Xiao stared and shook his head in a daze.

"No, there's nothing to see. Let's go back first."

Hua Shi put his arm around the little girl's shoulder, patted her, and said.

He Juanhua seemed to be blaming herself. After hearing this, she said to Hua Shi, "You guys can go back. I won't follow you. I'm going back first. There are two brats waiting for me at home. I'll come to see you next time."

Hua Shi nodded.

After saying goodbye to He Juanhua, Hua Shi took Hua Xiao and hurried back to the yard. They slammed the door shut, cutting off the chatter of the villagers outside.

Hua Xiao pinched her fingers and looked at Hua Shi anxiously, her eyes becoming timid. "Does that dead wild boar have anything to do with what happened last night? Is it related to us?"

Hua Shi was stunned. He didn't expect her to ask this, nor did he expect her to think this way.

She did suspect it was related to the Golden Crow, but she had no idea what the details were...

After thinking about it, Hua Shi shook his head and said, "I don't know either. Even you don't have to worry. Let's not tell anyone about what happened last night. No one else will know. The meat of the two wild boars is well hidden in the kitchen. We haven't taken it out for anyone to see. We can eat it secretly at home. Nothing will happen."

Hua Xiao nodded.

As if he had listened to her words, his pale face softened a lot.

"What are you two whispering about so early in the morning? I've heard you talking for a long time..."

Suddenly, Hua Li's lazy low hum came from the direction of the main hall. Rubbing her sleepy eyes, she took small steps and walked towards the yard.

Hua Xiao glanced at him and snorted coldly: "It's so noisy outside, and you just woke up now. You slept so soundly that you wouldn't even know when the sky would fall."

Hua Li stared blankly at Hua Xiao's receding figure, blinked his glued eyes, and muttered in confusion: "It's so early in the morning, has she taken offense? Why is she so irritable?"

Hua Li had just woken up when Hua Xiao caught him and scolded him. Hua Li had no idea what she meant by that...

Hua Shi, who was standing by, did not answer his questions, but turned around and went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

For breakfast, I simply cooked a big pot of lean meat porridge. The salty and fragrant porridge, paired with the pancakes sent by He Juanhua, tasted just right and made me unable to stop eating.

"What?!!"

Hua Ligang touched his bulging belly, his ears perked up as he listened to Hua Xiao talking to his second brother. After he understood the meaning of the words clearly, he almost spit out his breath, stared with his eyes, and screamed in a shrill voice.

After the meal, Hua Xiao's chaotic emotions had completely calmed down. Looking at Hua Li's confused expression, he glanced at him lightly.

"...You just said there was a dead wild boar by the stream near our yard. Could it be related to what happened last night?"

Hua Li repeated what Hua Xiao had just said.

Hua Xiao nodded.

Hua Li recovered from her shock and felt a little strange: "Why are you so sure that it is related to what happened last night? Maybe it was just an accident?"

Hua Xiao rolled her eyes, feeling speechless and not wanting to answer his questions anymore.

This guy is starting to find fault again... She just said, maybe, maybe! There is a connection, but she didn't say for sure.

Besides, we don't even know if it's the flower time, so there's nothing wrong with guessing...

Hua Xiao turned to look at his second brother beside him, his eyes sharp, waiting for him to speak.

Hua Yu listened to Hua Xiao's words without any change in his facial expression from beginning to end. At this moment, Hua Xiao stared at him, and he just gave her a faint look in return.
