Upon hearing this, Mu Beichen immediately became alert, taking an attacking stance with a fierce look on his face.
Uncle Chen suddenly took a step back and cautiously picked up the stick beside him to protect himself.
Only then did he realize that Mu Beichen was neatly dressed, clean, and wearing brand new clothes.
There were clothes of his size hanging on the clothesline in the yard. Uncle Chen was stunned for a moment, his face full of disbelief.
Could it be that Xiao Mu took the initiative to take him home? !
impossible!
This monster is an ominous person and anyone who touches it will suffer bad luck. Xiao Mu has been living in the village and it is impossible for him not to know this.
Everyone was avoiding this monster, so why would Xiao Mu take the initiative to bring him home? Isn't that like inviting a wolf into the house?!
However, all the signs clearly told him that his guess was not false.
Uncle Chen was so frightened that he shivered all over and was very anxious.
How foolish! How could Xiao Mu be so careless and bring a monster home? Is he trying to save himself?!
Thinking of this, he pretended to be ferocious and threatened Mu Beichen opposite him, "You, get out of here right now, or don't blame me for being rude!"
Mu Beichen stared at him expressionlessly with a sullen face and clenched his hands.
But thinking of the person who had not returned yet, he let go of his hand, looked at Uncle Chen deeply, climbed over the wall, and disappeared from Uncle Chen's sight.
Seeing this, Uncle Chen breathed a sigh of relief and waited anxiously for Yan Xi to come back.
Half an hour later, Yan Xi came back.
I found him pacing back and forth in his yard, looking anxious. I couldn't help but walk over quickly and asked with a puzzled look on my face, "Uncle Chen, what's wrong? You look very anxious."
Uncle Chen saw him coming home and quickly walked over to him. He looked him over carefully and realized he was fine. He finally let go of his worries and looked at him seriously. "Xiao Mu, tell me honestly, did you bring that little monster from the village home?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Xi's heart suddenly skipped a beat. She thought to herself that something was wrong. She glanced around but didn't see Mu Beichen. Her anxiety immediately reached its peak. "Yes, I brought him back. Where is he now?"
"Xiao Mu, why are you so confused?" Uncle Chen was so disappointed in him that he didn't know what to say to him.
"You grew up in this village, don't you know who he is?"
Yan Xi lowered her head, looked at her big belly, and said in a low voice, "I know."
"You know that? You know that and yet you still bring him home? You want to die, don't you? I thought you had finally made some progress during this period of time, but now you bring back such an ominous person. You are really capable!" Uncle Chen was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick.
If Yan Xi wasn't his child, he would probably be punished according to family rules.
Yan Xi pursed her lips, speaking calmly and clearly, "Uncle Chen, I know you are worried about me, but I have lived with him for nearly two months. In these two months, I have been unharmed and nothing has happened to me. I think what happened before may have been just a coincidence."
"Coincidence?" Uncle Chen sneered, "With so many precedents, don't you know that the misfortune brought by that monster will come sooner or later?
"Uncle Chen!" Yan Xi suddenly raised her voice, her dark eyes staring at him quietly for a long time before she spoke. "Whether you believe it or not, I've taken care of this person, and nothing has happened to me so far. Doesn't this prove something? Don't you think about whether people who haven't had contact with him will also have problems? You said that the bad luck he brought was a matter of time. Isn't there a possibility that it was just a coincidence?
It just so happened that those people met him before and after the incident. This doesn't mean anything. The county magistrate still relies on one piece of evidence to solve a case. How can it be related to him without any evidence?"
"This...I..." Uncle Chen was speechless.
If you think about it carefully, it does make sense.
Seeing that he was wavering, Yan Xi softened her tone, "Uncle Chen, I know you care about me, but I'm an adult now and I know what I should and shouldn't do. I can judge whether there is any danger or not. Please rest assured, I will be fine."
Uncle Chen opened his mouth, about to speak, but stopped himself before finally sighing, "As long as you're okay, it's up to you. When I came here, I saw him and threatened him a few times, scaring him away. Now I don't know where he is."
When Yan Xi heard that he didn't do anything to Mu Beichen, she breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay, he should be back."
Uncle Chen felt there was no need to stay any longer, so he went home.
Before leaving, he said that he would not tell anyone about this matter, so Yan Xi could rest assured.
Yan Xi is very grateful.
After Uncle Chen left, Yan Xi was worried and prepared to go out to look for him. Unexpectedly, just as he put down the hoe and the vegetables he brought back from the field, a figure appeared in his peripheral vision. He looked up and saw Mu Beichen standing quietly in the corner next to the toilet, looking at him intently.
He didn't leave, but kept hiding in the corner waiting for him to come back.
He heard everything Yan Xi said just now.
He thought the old man would listen to him and drive him away, but unexpectedly, he didn't and said those words.
A warm feeling surged in Mu Beichen's heart.
He thought that no matter whether this person would abandon him in the future, he was content. At least at this moment, he had the feeling of being at home and being cared for and favored by someone.
Thinking of this, Mu Beichen said for the first time: "You're back."
Yan Xi was slightly stunned, and at that moment, he felt that all his fatigue disappeared. He smiled and nodded: "Well, I'm back."
