Chapter 144 Finale

Li Fu came back with a lot of prey. Chu Ran raised his fist and shouted, "Long live the emperor!"

Li Fu fixed his eyes on Chu Ran's left leg, "What's wrong with your leg?"

"Oh." Chu Ran looked down embarrassedly, "I was accidentally bitten by a snake. But don't worry, it's not a venomous snake, just a small snake with no venom."

Chu Ran hurried to explain.

"Go sit on the bed."

As soon as his butt touched the bed, Li Fu squatted in front of Chu Ran, "That leg?"

Chu Ran was stunned for a moment, then pointed to his injured left leg.

Li Fu lifted Chu Ran's left foot, took off his boots and socks, put them aside, and asked Chu Ran to step on his thigh and roll up his trouser legs.

The calf was already swollen, and the bitten part was red and blue. Li Fu pressed it lightly, and Chu Ran's face changed. He whispered, "It hurts..."

"How did it become like this?"

"I was standing there and was bitten suddenly..."

Li Fu knew at a glance that Chu Ran was lying, and said calmly: "It's such a big place, you didn't bite anyone else, you just bit me, right?"

Chu Ran muttered softly, "How would I know?"

"Chu Ran."

Every time Li Fu called him by his full name, Chu Ran would tell the truth, and this time was no exception.

"Well, actually..."

Chu Ran told him and Li Dingning's plan in full, "Overall, my plan is foolproof and will definitely work. If Li Dingning hadn't yelled and scared me, I wouldn't have failed at all."

In fact, Chu Ran was quite proud, and his expression revealed this. After Li Fu glanced at Chu Ran, Chu Ran lowered his head obediently.

"I'll ask the doctor to come and take a look later."

"No, it's not serious and will be fine soon."

Li Fu: “Hmm?”

Chu Ran: "...I'll listen to you."

The imperial physician who came to treat Chu Ran's injuries was the same one who treated Li Dingning. After examining Chu Ran's injuries, he found that both of them were bitten by snakes.

It bit two people in one day!

This is no small matter!

So the imperial physician immediately made a suggestion, "Your Majesty, there are snakes in this hunting ground. I suggest you find someone to catch the snakes immediately to prevent anyone else from getting hurt!"

Li Fu glanced at Chu Ran.

Chu Ran pinched his ears and laughed more awkwardly.

The hunt was over, and on the way back, they passed a mountain. Li Fu only took Chu Ran up the mountain, and the rest of the people waited at the foot of the mountain.

On the mountain is Xing Ji's tomb. Li Fu has already had it repaired. It is no longer desolate and deserted as it was at the beginning.

"I brought this for Uncle Xing."

Chu Ran took out two puppet dolls from his arms and placed them in front of the tombstone.

These two puppets, one is Chu Ran and the other is Li Fu, both were carved by Li Fu during his years in Yunzhou. The puppet carved with Li Fu was given to Chu Ran by Li Fu, and Chu Ran kept it himself. Chu Ran's puppet was originally kept by Li Fu, and Uncle Xing gave it to Chu Ran along with some banknotes, so Chu Ran also kept it.

"Let them accompany you instead of Li Fu and I from now on. But Uncle Xing, don't worry, he and I will come to see you every year."

Chu Ran chattered with Xing Ji for a while and asked Li Fu if he had anything to say to Uncle Xing.

Li Fu stood in front of Xing Ji's tomb and held Chu Ran's hand tightly. He thought to himself, if he held this person tightly, he would hold her tightly and would never let go in his life.

When they were going down the mountain, Li Fu suddenly said to Chu Ran: "I plan to move Uncle Xing's grave to another place."

"Where to move to?"

"Move it to the imperial mausoleum and place it next to our graves."

"Okay, as a family, we should be together."
