Lu Cijian shook his head and said only, "Someone needs to watch over this place."
Moreover, he's used to living alone and doesn't really like living with so many people.
Although Old Liu felt it was a pity, he didn't insist. He just smiled and said, "Then let's go out for dinner together tonight."
He could see that there wasn't even a pot in the little wooden house, so the young man must be roasting wild game to fill his stomach every day.
Although we weren't hungry, nothing could compare to the delicious food in the small depression.
Gou Sheng quickly added with a smile, "That's right, Brother Lu, come back with us for dinner. My mom and aunt are amazing cooks, you'll see when you try them."
As he spoke, he instinctively reached out to grab the person.
He saw that the other person was skilled with a bow and arrow today, and he was extremely envious.
Although Sister Yi Mian taught him a few techniques for capturing people, which were quite impressive, he was still more interested in archery. He could hit people from a great distance, how amazing!
He might not even know how the other person died; he loves these mysterious heroes the most.
Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Lu Cijian hesitated and nodded, "I'll go get some things."
After saying that, he went into the small wooden house.
When they came out, they were carrying a fat rabbit and a pheasant.
By the time the group returned to the small depression, it was already dark.
Several women stood in Old Liu's yard, looking around. They breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that everyone had returned safely.
Zhao Xing'er looked behind them and only felt relieved when she saw no sign of Liu Dafei and the others. She smiled and said, "You're finally back."
When Yi Mian returned, she called Zhao Dashu and a few others, saying they were going to dig a trap. Before they could find out anything, she disappeared.
Although she knew the others would be alright, she was still extremely worried, fearing that the two brothers might come back with them.
The Liu brothers are not easy to deal with. If they are really brought back, the small depression will probably be in turmoil.
When Wang Fengqin and her two children saw Jiang Yimian return, they rushed to greet her. When their gaze fell on Lu Cijian, they paused for a moment, then simply smiled and nodded.
I only caught a glimpse of the boy from afar in the afternoon, but now I realize how handsome he is, with striking eyebrows, bright eyes, and a dashing face.
Ono frowned as she stared at Lu Cijian, feeling that his figure looked somewhat familiar. After thinking for a while, she suddenly exclaimed, "I remember now, you're the one who took my sister home that night!"
Everyone was startled and looked at Jiang Yimian and the other person.
Gossipy eyes lingered on them, especially when they saw how well-matched the two looked, which they found quite pleasing to the eye.
Jiang Yimian felt a little uncomfortable under that intense gaze. She coughed lightly and hesitated about how to explain when she heard Lu Cijian say calmly, "It was an unexpected encounter. It was dark and the forest wasn't safe, so I gave Miss Jiang a ride."
Everyone nodded and stopped their gossipy gazes.
Jiang Yimian muttered under her breath, "Was that an accident? Or was it because of his audacity?"
Lu Cijian blushed instantly and immediately lowered her head, not daring to speak again.
Fortunately, no one else heard him say that.
Old Liu introduced everyone to Lu Cijian and then invited them to stay for dinner.
The food was prepared early in the morning, but since we didn't know when they would be back, we weren't in a hurry to cook it.
Seeing this, several women quickly went into the kitchen to help.
Before long, all sorts of aromas wafted from the kitchen, especially the rich smell of meat, which made people's mouths water.
The children sat in the yard, their eyes fixed on the kitchen, eagerly waiting for dinner to be served.
Gou Sheng huddled next to Lu Cijian, watching him play with Mimi, and became more and more surprised.
Mimi, who was usually fierce and aggressive when she saw him, became surprisingly obedient to Lu Cijian, just like she was to Yimian. She did whatever he asked her to do, and wasn't fierce at all.
He felt a little aggrieved, "Why is this cat so fierce to me? It was so obedient when you first came here."
Lu Cijian rubbed Mimi's head before saying, "I delivered Mimi's baby."
Gou Sheng's eyes widened in disbelief. "You can deliver kittens?"
Jiang Yimian also looked at the other person, a flash of surprise crossing her eyes.
Others may not know, but she does.
Mimi isn't a cat; she's a real little tiger.
The person in front of me actually managed to escape from the tiger; that's truly impressive.
Lu Cijian explained only, "Mimi's mother was dying at the time, and I just tried to find out why she was still alive."
He encountered an injured tiger in the forest and killed it to save his own life, only to later discover that the tiger was pregnant.
They tentatively cut open the tiger's belly and found that the tiger cub was still alive.
Whether it was a fetish for chicks or something else, Mimi followed him until she accidentally fell into a trap and was rescued by Jiang Yimian.
Gou Sheng felt much better after hearing this and nodded repeatedly, "No wonder."
After saying that, her gaze fell on Lu Cijian's scabbed wound, and she asked curiously, "Brother Lu, what happened to your neck injury? Did Mimi scratch it? That little guy is quite strong."
It actually scratched out such a long wound.
Jiang Yimian was taken aback, feeling somewhat uncomfortable, and glared at Lu Cijian with annoyance.
Doesn't this guy know to wear something to cover his wound?
Now everyone's asking the same question.
Why didn't she kill him back then?
Lu Cijian felt somewhat innocent when glared at. Looking at that puffed-up little face, he could only shake his head with amusement.
Gou Sheng didn't ask any more questions. He carefully rubbed Mimi's head again, and as expected, he received a fierce glare. Feeling wronged, he ran away.
That cat is really fierce; luckily I didn't scratch it.
Seeing that Gousheng had left, Zhao Dashu and the others were talking to Old Man Liu, and several children were also by the rabbit pen when Jiang Yimian came over, squatted down, ruffled Mimi's hair, and asked, "How did you find the small depression?"
It couldn't possibly be that she actually found it by following her, she really didn't want to believe it.
After arriving here, she did not slack off and would train whenever she had time. Although she had not fully recovered, her small size limited her ability to perform at her full potential.
But she wouldn't be followed without being noticed.
Lu Cijian looked at the girl in front of him. Seeing that her eyes were serious and her fair face was full of tension, he said, "I found the place to farm by accident. I found it by following Master Liu."
He was telling the truth. When he heard someone talking when he was planning to save Mimi, he hid. But he didn't expect Jiang Yimian to be so alert and instantly discover his presence. He could only hold his breath and dared not move at all, let alone follow the others.
That was also the first time he saw anyone other than himself on the mountain. Fearing that he might encounter some bandits, he searched several mountain peaks, but he couldn't find any trace of them for several days.
It was only by chance that they discovered Old Liu and learned that the families had been living in the small depression all along.
