While searching for Jiang Li on the mountain, Shen Changan was worried.
He was now severely exhausted and his stomach was growling with hunger. If he didn't eat something to replenish his energy, he would be too weak to hit anyone.
"Okay, let's go back and eat first, and then meet at the foot of the mountain in half an hour."
The captain took out a hunting rifle and handed it to Shen Changan, "Take this, remember to bring it with you when you set off later."
"Okay, I'll go back first then."
Zhang Guocai stood beside Shen Changan without saying a word, and he didn't dare to ask to follow them up the mountain.
Because what just happened at the foot of the mountain was so embarrassing.
Before he could react, someone pointed a shotgun at his head.
If Shen Changan hadn’t suddenly taken action, he would have been caught and taken to the quarry.
If even the police can't handle the problem, he will definitely be in vain if he goes there.
Realizing that he was not capable of doing this, Zhang Guocai lowered his head in frustration.
Shen Changan noticed his emotions and did not comfort him at first, but only said something when they were almost home.
"Uncle, don't be sad. After all, I was a soldier for two years. It's normal that I'm better than you."
It would have been fine if Shen Changan didn't comfort him, but once he comforted him, it was like lighting a powder keg, and Zhang Guocai immediately became angry.
"You don't need me to tell you, I know it myself. Aren't you just better at fighting than me? If you have the guts, don't come to my house for dinner and don't bother my niece!"
Zhang Guocai's anger came suddenly, and Shen Changan looked confused after being scolded.
But he is also a smart man. He will respect Jiang Li as much as he respects his uncle.
"Uncle, I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing."
Zhang Guocai waved his hands irritably. He remembered that Shen Changan suddenly appeared and saved his life. Suddenly, he was like a deflated ball. Not only did his anger subside, but he also took the initiative to apologize to him.
"Teacher Shen, I'm sorry. Come to think of it, I should thank you. If you hadn't saved my life today, I would have been murdered and thrown off a cliff. How could I have the chance to teach you a lesson here?"
"I just have a bad temper. I was just looking for trouble. I have a bad mouth. Next time I will definitely control my temper and never lose my temper with you again."
Zhang Guocai apologized sincerely, and Shen Changan was immediately flattered.
"Uncle, it's okay. You are Jiang Li and Jiang Yi's uncle, which means you are my uncle. Even if we don't have this relationship, I will ensure your safety when we go out together."
Shen Changan’s sincere attitude made Zhang Guocai feel that he had gone too far.
"Teacher Shen, no matter what your purpose is in coming to our house, as long as you don't harm my two nephews and grandnephews, I will not stop you from doing so, nor will I give you a cold shoulder. I, Zhang Guocai, have made this statement today, and I mean what I say!"
"That's great, thank you for your understanding, uncle."
The two men who were on the verge of a fight had a frank talk under Shen Changan's gentle and firm attitude, and soon became friends.
When they returned home, Jiang Li, who had taken a nap, had already gotten up and was cooking the last dish.
"Everyone has worked hard, wash your hands and eat."
Shen Changan discovered that Jiang Li spoke particularly gently today, and glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally.
Shen Changan ate the delicious meal made by Jiang Li, and Jiang Li would pick up some food for him from time to time, expressing his gratitude.
“Shen Changan, today’s events are all thanks to you. You are exhausted from saving us. You must eat more meat.”
"Yeah, you too, you must be scared today, you should eat more meat to calm down."
Shen Changan also picked up a lot of dishes for Jiang Li. Zhang Guocai silently watched them eating and drinking, as if they had become a couple in love.
Zhang Guocai felt jealous because his niece was going to have a boyfriend and his good cabbages were going to be eaten by pigs.
However, Zhang Guocai remembered clearly what he had just said.
No matter how unhappy you are, you have to suppress it.
After dinner, Shen Changan took a brief rest and prepared to go up the mountain again.
Zhang Guocai couldn't help but remind him, "Be careful when you go up the mountain. Pay attention to your own safety. Don't be careless just because you have the ability. I won't feel bad if you get hurt."
“Shen Changan, do you still want to go up the mountain?”
"Well, the situation at the quarry is unclear. Zhou Xinming only brought six police officers up the mountain. I'm worried they might be in danger, so I want to go up the mountain with the captain to take a look."
Shen Changan explained the matter clearly in one sentence. He meant well, and Jiang Li could understand.
"Can you take me with you?"
Jiang Li also wanted to go inside the quarry, mainly to investigate the cause of his father's death.
"It will be very dangerous to go up the mountain this time. I may not be able to take care of you, and there are two children at home who need someone to take care of them."
"You should stay this time until we understand the situation at the quarry and make sure there's no danger. If you still want to go up the mountain then, I'll definitely accompany you."
Shen Changan spoke sincerely, looking at the wound on the back of her hand with a distressed look. If it weren't for the urgent time, he really wanted to stop, kiss her, hug her, and then treat her wound himself.
"Well, you must be careful and don't get into trouble. The child and I will be waiting for you to come back."
When saying the last sentence, Jiang Li lowered his voice and his little face turned red.
When Jiang Li spoke to him like this, Shen Changan's heart melted.
If his uncle and Jiang Yi were not here, Shen Changan really wanted to pick up this cute little girl, spin her around three times, and kiss her hard a few times.
"Well, don't worry. Ever since I had you and the child, my life is no longer just my own. I will definitely pay attention to my safety. If the situation becomes critical, I will do my best to protect myself."
Shen Changan suppressed the excitement in his heart, and he also lowered his voice so that only the two of them could hear.
Jiang Li lowered his head, his fair and tender little face was now blood red, and his two little ears were also red.
While his uncle and Jiang Yi weren't paying attention, Shen Changan reached out and gently pinched Jiang Li's blood-red little ears, his fingers accidentally brushing against her bright red lips.
Jiang Li's whole body trembled as if she had been electrocuted. Shen Changan's heart also trembled violently. If the situation did not allow it, he really wanted to hold her in his arms and kiss her fiercely.
"I'm leaving now. Take care of the child and yourself. Also, take care of the wound on your hand quickly. Don't let it get infected."
Shen Changan left reluctantly, Jiang Li lowered his head and didn't even dare to look at him.
It wasn't until Shen Changan walked away that Jiang Li mustered up the courage to look up.
She looked at Shen Changan, his back straight and goose-stepping as he walked, and he just blended into the night.
Jiang Li suddenly felt worried, afraid that he would get hurt, and even more afraid that something would happen to him.
When Shen Changan reached the corner, he turned around. He had excellent eyesight and even in the darkness, he could still see Jiang Li at a glance and see the concern in her eyes.
His whole heart was suddenly filled with a wonderful emotion, and even his steps seemed light.
