Unfortunately, the fabricated public opinion incident did not implicate Xia Wei.
Thinking of the face that the mother and daughter brought to her, Xia Yunxi's eyes narrowed slightly when she thought of the face hidden under the scarf.
She really shouldn't have done that and let the mother and daughter go without any mercy.
If something is done, you should pay the price for it.
Xia Yunxi already had an idea in her mind.
"Mommy, what do you think?" Xia Yuan's voice suddenly rang out.
Xia Yunxi came back to her senses and asked, "What did you say?"
"Mommy, are you distracted? What are you thinking about? I've been calling you for a long time." Xia Yu'an and Li Jinchen walked down the mountain obediently.
There was no one to carry me or help me during the trip. I just held my mother's hand, chatting and laughing, and it was quite lively along the way.
Xia Yuan told Xia Yunxi that they would eat braised rabbit after returning home.
Xia Yunxi didn't hear it, so Xia Yuan shouted several times.
"Have you ever eaten rabbit meat?" Li Hanting asked.
"Dad, there is nothing abroad. I haven't even seen some of the food we can eat in China." Poor Xia Yuan has grown up without knowing that many things can be made so delicious and tasty.
"That's really pitiful." Li Hanting said without any sympathy.
Xia Yu'an looked at him resentfully. Is this his biological father? How could he treat his own child like this?
He hasn't seen many things, but don't you feel sorry for him?
"It's okay, brother. I will teach you later." Li Jinchen said seriously.
Xia Yuan pouted, looking extremely unhappy, feeling that his father no longer loved him.
How can this be?
Several people returned to the inn together. The boss was still quite depressed when he saw the prey being carried by the butler, bodyguards and others.
The innkeeper was really surprised. He didn't expect that there was someone with such good accuracy among their group.
Suddenly, the boss's face lit up with a smile. He came out happily and chatted with the housekeeper, asking who had hit him. How could he be so powerful?
The butler was very reserved and did not seem proud of the hospitality shown by others.
After he said that the prey were hunted by his master, the innkeeper took the butler's hand and whispered something to him.
When the butler came over, the innkeeper was standing not far away with a gloomy look on his face, while the butler was conflicted, hesitant and in deep thought.
Xia Yunxi took off the heavy coats for the two little guys. Seeing the housekeeper like this, she asked with a smile: "Housekeeper, what's wrong with you?"
The butler smiled, then looked at Li Hanting who was sitting aside fiddling with the remaining ammunition.
"gentlemen……"
Li Hanting didn't respond. The housekeeper thought for a moment and then said, "Just now, the innkeeper saw that you brought back so many prey, and he told me that he wanted to ask you a favor."
"What?" Li Hanting didn't even raise his head.
The butler glanced behind him again, and Xia Yunxi also looked curiously. The innkeeper had not left yet.
Seeing the butler looking at him, he quickly waved his hand, signaling the butler to speak quickly.
The housekeeper thought about Li Hanting's intention in coming back this time, so he said, "When winter comes to this village, large animals like snow wolves and wild boars always come down the mountain, destroying the village and harming the villagers."
"I just saw the boss see the prey you hunted, so I wanted to ask you if you could help them go into the mountains and kill that wild boar?"
If Li Hanting had no intention of going into the mountains, the housekeeper might not have appeared so hesitant, but actually came forward to report and convey the innkeeper's message.
The key point is that Li Hanting listened to him, and Xia Xiaoju and others were almost attacked by wild boars. Then he ignored them and planned to go down the mountain to replenish ammunition and go up the mountain again.
Since no amount of persuasion would work and he was determined to go up, and considering the innkeeper's request, the butler felt that it was just a favor to do, and since they could help anyway, they wouldn't lose anything.
Li Hanting looked up at him, and then his eyes noticed the innkeeper who was standing not far away, looking at them eagerly, waiting for news.
Seeing him coming, the innkeeper hurried forward. The other party's Mandarin was not very standard, and if he spoke too fast, it would still be difficult to understand.
"Don't you have a gun? How could you let the beast use it?" Li Hanting asked.
"That wild beast was huge. Our inn is the only one in the village that can rent javelins, but they are useless. We can't hit it accurately because its skin is thick."
The innkeeper chattered a lot, and Xia Yunxi, who was standing next to him, noticed what he was saying.
Li Hanting must go, and by the way, help solve some problems in the village.
Hearing that Li Hanting agreed, the innkeeper was very excited, and then took out his stock, a large pile of ammunition.
Xia Yunxi didn't understand either, so he took his two children out.
Even on the way back, the two little ones had seen the dead prey, but they still hadn't lost their curiosity.
After standing outside and far away from that side, Xia Yunxi looked at the sky and took a deep breath.
Unconsciously, it is already the last day of the year.
She was originally confused and had no idea what was going on. If Aunt Lin had not reminded her when they were going up the mountain, it would have been difficult for Xia Yunxi to know that today was New Year's Eve in this remote place far away from the crowd with no reference points.
During the five years I spent abroad, although I did make a point of recording and remembering the New Year in my hometown, in reality, the celebration was just a formality.
There were only her and Xia Yuan abroad. Xia Yuan was young and had no impression of Chinese New Year at all, nor did she understand what it meant to celebrate the New Year in her hometown.
So even though there were two of them celebrating, it was actually just a holiday for her.
Xia Yunxi sighed deeply, maybe it was because of the salty taste. Thinking back on her life, she had been abused by her stepmother and had been forced to leave the place where she lived before she even graduated.
For so many years, I have been wandering around with my child, and have never given my child a single day of peace.
Actually, think about it, what is she trying to achieve?
How should I walk my own path?
Xia Yunxi has never felt confused, or in other words, not knowing where his future will go.
Really as Li Hanting said, he felt that the current situation was good. This kind of life was very stable. It was what he needed, what she needed, and what the child needed...
But is this really the case? Is that man really the right one for me?
Xia Yunxi felt confused. Was she moved? Yes, she was a little bit moved.
But she felt that what a woman needed most was a sense of security, but she didn't feel the sense of security from Li Hanting at all!
