So Xie whispered a few words in Hua Shi's ear, but Hua Shi didn't hear a word.

Perhaps because she was afraid that Hua Shi would get tired, Xie kept talking to her in a nagging manner.

She said that when she went up the mountain to pick tea leaves, she took a detour and didn't know the way, so she got lost and walked here. She slipped and accidentally rolled down the slope.

Fortunately, the slope was not steep, and after rolling a few times, I only slipped and sprained my ankle, and hit my forehead. It was not too serious. I will be able to recover after a month of rest at home.

Xie kept muttering these things, and from time to time she would ask Hua Shi about the Hua family's recent situation, but Hua Shi was so tired that he was gasping for breath and did not answer her questions for a while.

However, Xie said a lot about Li.

From her, Hua Shi finally learned that Li had been visiting Xie frequently these days. The two old sisters seemed to have simply gathered together to chat and exchange ideas after finishing their work.

I don’t know how long it took, but Hua Shi finally carried the old lady on his back and slowly moved to the foot of the mountain.

Put the person on a flat stone, and he will be sweating profusely and gasping for air with exhaustion.

My arms are sore, my back is sore, my legs are sore...

Her arms were sore because, while carrying Xie, she also had to pick up her own small basket containing four rabbits, which was obviously beyond her physical capacity.

Xie took out a white handkerchief from her sleeve and handed it to Hua Shi, her expression still kind and friendly. "Wipe the sweat off your face. You've worked hard."

"Thank you." Hua Shi did not refuse. He took the hand and wiped the sweat off his face.

Xie saw that she was exhausted and at her limit, so she carried her from the slope to the foot of the mountain. It was neither long nor short.

"Just leave me here. Go to the Xie family and ask them to come pick me up."

The foot of the mountain has already retreated from the forest and mountains, and there will be no other potential dangers, so it is okay for her to sit here and wait for someone to carry her.

Hua Shi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and when he heard this, he was hesitating about the feasibility of this method.

Her legs were shaking like a shrimp, and if she continued to carry the person back, she would fall down and it would be a thankless task.

Besides, sending them to the foot of the mountain has indeed avoided the danger of other venomous snakes and ferocious beasts emerging from the mountain...

"Grandma...? Why are you here? I was just about to look for you..."

As I was hesitating, I suddenly heard footsteps not far away, followed by a hesitant male voice.

An old man and a young boy turned their heads to look.

Hua Shi's hands, wiping the sweat off his face, paused slightly.
