Chapter 447 Si Ye's Choice (3)
"Master, what do you think?" Si Ye called out this long-lost title again, but without using honorifics. "Just stay with us."
It was hard to tell whether it was a sincere invitation or a deliberate provocation. Bai Qin pretended not to understand the twists and turns involved, completely ignoring Si Yuan's expression, and actually went down the stairs. "Okay, then I'll stay."
Si Yuan: “…”
Okay, then I'll leave?
…
Si Yuan left the territory and made an unpleasant journey back to Dongfang City.
Bai Qin really stayed and lived in the cave next door that had been dug for Si Yuan. He didn't need anyone to take care of him and was self-sufficient in everything.
Si Ye and Xia Tian cleaned the cave inside and out, used incense to remove odors and ventilate the cave, pulled out weeds everywhere, re-tamped the ground, and put the finishing touches on the cellar they had dug last time.
After finishing all these tasks, it was already completely dark. Xia Tian prepared dinner and lit a bonfire. "It's almost winter, should we also make some preparations?"
Dinner was a soup made with preserved bacon and vegetables.
Si Ye was also eating with them. He hummed and raised no objections. "I'll be going out hunting starting tomorrow, and I'll leave the housework to you. If you have anything you want to do or need, feel free to ask. It won't be very convenient to go out when the cold season comes."
Qiu was right. Although they didn't know why, they did stay in the cave for a full ten days. Now there were less than twenty days left until the cold season arrived, so they didn't have much time to prepare. They had to hurry up.
"I don't have any requests. You go out hunting, and I'll take care of the housework at home." Xia Tian said her plan while eating dinner. "I tidied up a little this afternoon. I plan to clean up the cellar, lay wooden boards on the floor of the cave, then harvest purple sweet potatoes and stockpile firewood."
These were all things she had been working on before, or had already been discussed and decided, so Si Ye didn't say anything else, just nodded in agreement, "I understand. You can do whatever you want, get enough rest, and don't overwork yourself. If you feel tired, wait for me to come back and I'll help you. And be careful with that devil grass. Oh, and my master knows a lot about these plants, you can ask him to accompany you. He's a witch doctor in Dongfang City and has seen all kinds of things, big and small. You can learn a lot from him."
"Okay, I'll learn from him." Talking about Bai Qin, Xia Tian wanted to know more information. "You called him Master before. Was he your master when you were a child? Also, he's staying in our tribe now and living with us..."
"Are you asking how to get along with him?" Si Ye said casually, "Just do your own thing. Don't worry about him. He can be self-sufficient. As for the rest... I don't know why he wants to stay here, but I have a feeling he won't stay for long. Just don't worry about him."
Speaking of Bai Qin's situation, Si Ye didn't hide it and admitted, "He was indeed my teacher when I was a child, and if my mother hadn't chosen Si Yuan, I might have become his partner. He stayed in Dongfang City as a witch doctor for my mother. Otherwise, with his abilities and personality, he would never have stayed in the city to deal with all the intrigues."
