Yuan Shitou felt somewhat annoyed when he saw Yun Xiaoxiao bringing up the trap again.

Why don't you ask beforehand what you're going to do? Wouldn't it be better to just go home when it's getting dark?

Frustrated, Yuan Shitou wanted to slap himself.

To make Xiaoxiao happy, they still found a place to dig a trap.

Because Yuan Shitou was carrying a small hoe, digging was quite difficult.

So they set up a rope loop.

By the time the trap was set, it was already late afternoon.

Yuan Shitou suggested going back, but how could Yun Xiaoxiao possibly listen to him?

They refused to leave, saying they wanted to spend the night there.

Her idea nearly scared Yuan Shitou to death.

He disagreed with everything she said and even tried to forcefully pull her away.

But when he met Yun Xiaoxiao's big, watery eyes, he gave in.

But despite the compromise, I still have to go home and come back tomorrow.

To prevent Yuan Shitou from changing his mind, Yun Xiaoxiao even held his finger.

Here comes a pinky promise, a promise that will last a hundred years.

Afterwards, Yun Xiaoxiao still felt uneasy and threatened again:

If Yuan Shitou dares to change his mind, she will not marry him.

Because she didn't want to marry a liar.

She also said that if Yuan Shitou didn't come, she would come alone.

Anyway, there are all sorts of threats.

Yuan Shitou was sour that Yun Xiaoxiao finally gave up.

They went and picked a lot of loquats before leisurely returning home.

We were walking quite slowly because it was sunset.

The sky was filled with golden light, which was quite beautiful.

Yun Xiaoxiao wanted to enjoy the scenery along the way.

Yuan Shitou followed behind, carrying a basket of loquats on his back.

I didn't feel the basket was too tight at all.

On the contrary, I feel very happy.

It has to be said that Yuan Shitou's thought process is somewhat bizarre.

When they got home, Yuan's mother was holding Gou Dan and looking around outside.

Upon seeing them return, they happily shouted and rushed forward to greet them:

"Xiaoxiao, you're back?"

Did the stone bully you?

Are you tired? I've already heated the bathwater. Would you like to bathe now, or after you've eaten?

Yun Xiaoxiao picked loquats for a while, and felt all fuzzy all over.

Hearing her words, he naturally chose to take a bath.

Without his mother's permission, Yuan Shitou put down his basket and went to pour water for Yun Xiaoxiao to bathe.

Yun Xiaoxiao picked up a loquat, peeled it, and put it into Yuan's mother's mouth.

I peeled another one for Gou Dan and removed the seeds inside.

When Yun Xiaoxiao came out after taking a shower, she was stunned by Yuan Shitou's appearance.

After a couple of seconds of stunned silence, he burst out laughing.

Yuan Shitou looked refreshed, clearly having already taken a shower.

The hair on his head was completely shaved off.

His dark face paired with a white head was quite comical.

Yuan Shitou thought Xiaoxiao really liked his bald head, so he couldn't help but touch it.

He likes it very much himself.

Mr. and Mrs. Yuan both turned their faces away. Whose silly boy is this? They can't even bear to look at him.

After finishing dinner, everyone chatted and talked in the yard.

Suddenly, Yuan's mother said, "Xiaohua is back."

He sighed as he spoke.

Yuan Shitou asked, puzzled, "Mother, why are you sighing when she comes back? She's not eating your food."

Mother Yuan glared at him: "She was sent back by her husband's family."

This child is really…

He glanced at Yun Xiaoxiao and sighed again.

Yun Xiaoxiao was puzzled, wondering why she was looking at her.

Could it be that Fan Xiaohua was sent back and then had nothing to do with her?

As if she knew what Yun Xiaoxiao was thinking, Yuan's mother said to her:

"I heard that after Xiaohua got married, she was lazy and always causing trouble."

She said she still had someone else in her heart, and she couldn't stand the sight of her man, refusing to let him touch her.

In the end, her husband's family spent money to buy another wife and sent her back.

You said Xiaohua is quite diligent at home, so how could she be like what they say?

Everyone remained silent. After a while, Yuan's mother spoke again:

"I wonder if Xiaohua is possessed by an evil spirit."

He was still smiling when he was brought back.

It seems he was quite provoked.

Yuan Shitou scratched his bald head, got up, and was about to leave.

Yuan's mother stopped him, saying, "Where are you going? It's already dark."

Yuan Shitou glanced at Yun Xiaoxiao and said, "I'll go comfort Tie Niu; he must be in a bad mood."

Yun Xiaoxiao was a little sleepy, so she strained to keep her eyes open and listened to Yuan's mother gossip.

Perhaps it's a woman's nature to love gossip, and Yun Xiaoxiao is no exception.

Mr. Yuan also got up: "Xiaoxiao, go back to your room and sleep."

After saying that, he went into the house, leaning on his stick.

Yun Xiaoxiao couldn't stay awake any longer and went to sleep.

Yuan's mother grabbed Yuan Shitou's ear and led him out of the yard.

Once outside, she let go of his hand, pointed her finger at his forehead, and scolded him:

"You idiot, you idiot, I've never seen anyone as stupid as you."

At this critical juncture, you go to find Tie Niu.

You know perfectly well how much Tie Niu wants you to marry his sister.

Going there gives them a chance.

I told you and Xiaoxiao about this in front of you because I didn't want her to worry.

You're still sticking your head out to get caught.

Yuan Shitou was a little confused: "I'm just going to find Tie Niu, Xiao Xiao shouldn't misunderstand."

Mother Yuan was a little angry: "Go ahead, you won't even know how you ended up on Xiaohua's bed."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shitou was startled: "Mother, what are you saying?"

I already have a little one, and Tie Niu knows that too.

Besides, I've made it clear that I only see Xiaohua as a girl, and I've never thought about marrying her.

Mother Yuan rolled her eyes: "Then go ahead. If Xiaoxiao doesn't marry you, don't say your mother didn't help you."

After saying that, she turned around and went back, too lazy to talk to this idiot, which made her so angry that her liver hurt.

Yuan Shitou looked at his mother's retreating figure, somewhat puzzled.

Forgive him, this rough fellow, for he only has a straight gut and no crooked intestines.

However, fearing that Xiaoxiao might get angry, he eventually went back to his room to sleep.

He didn't go to Tie Niu's house because he was still a little afraid that Yuan's mother's words would come true.

He may not be cunning, but he's not stupid.

Yuan's mother, hiding in the shadows, breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Yuan Shitou go back to his room and go to sleep.

After returning home, he talked to Yuan's father for a long time.

Nothing was said that night.

The next day, just as dawn was breaking, Yun Xiaoxiao got up.

She was going to check if there were any prey in the traps she had set yesterday.

Last night, she dreamed that there were many prey inside.

She laughed happily.

I woke up while I was laughing.

After waking up, I couldn't fall back asleep.

After getting up, Yuan Shitou chopped firewood outside. Early in the morning, he was shirtless, and sweat was streaming down his face.

Yun Xiaoxiao warmed up in the yard for a while, then started practicing Tai Chi.

Although this body is a good fit for her, it is too weak.

It's probably because they haven't been eating enough for a long time, and their nutrition hasn't kept up, so their bones haven't fully developed yet.

She originally wanted to keep her martial arts skills a secret, but she couldn't hide it anymore.

She wants to get her body in good shape so she can go into the mountains to search for treasure.

After finishing a set of Tai Chi, she began stretching.

You won't know until you pull it out, and then you'll be shocked.

I feel like every part of my body is being stretched very hard.

Even the slightest pull is extremely painful.
