Chapter 379: Being Haunted by a Big Fool
The woman's attention was drawn to the other women. "Wait a moment, I haven't finished picking this one yet."
Ye Li restated the question again.
The woman said impatiently, "Why are you asking these questions? Hurry up and pick them. There are only a few soapberries here. If you pick too few, you won't have any to wash your clothes or bathe in."
Ye Li had no choice but to give up and gave up the idea of asking questions. He decided to take it slow. If he asked too obviously, it would arouse suspicion.
Ye Li casually followed the women and picked a large basket of soapberries, which was even more than what Jiang Yunfei picked.
"We've picked so many, it'll last us for a while." Jiang Yunfei held the frame with a smile, and walked home on the muddy road with Ye Li.
On the way back, I passed by Dasha's house again. The plate placed at the door had been broken. I don't know which naughty kid hit it with a stone. Look, the stone that broke the plate was still pressing on the fragments.
On this day, Ye Li did not bring any food to Dasha. After all, she did not come here to be a Bodhisattva.
At night, Ye Li went to bed early, but he couldn't sleep, tossing and turning, his mind still struggling with who to ask tomorrow and what questions to ask.
Then I put together the information I had learned over the past two days, but still couldn't come to any conclusion.
"Knock, knock..." Suddenly, there were two knocks on her window. Ye Li sat up in shock and asked cautiously, "Who is it?"
"I'm hungry." A faint voice came from the window, a little hoarse.
Ye Li immediately guessed who it was, and there was helplessness in her eyes. This big fool was still pestering her.
She held her forehead, stood up and went to the cabinet where she stored food, took out some food on a plate, then pulled up the window a little bit and handed the plate to the big fool outside from under the window.
"Don't come here again." Ye Li warned in a low voice, "Otherwise I'll hit you."
The big fool took the plate and ran away immediately. I don’t know if he understood what I meant.
As a result, the next day, when Ye Li was sleeping, the big guy came to knock on the window again.
Ye Li ignored him, so he knocked again and again. Ye Li didn't want to make a big deal out of it, as she still had to inquire about the matter tomorrow. If she made a big deal out of it, how could she find out?
She suppressed the anger rising in her chest, turned over, brought food to the big guy, and warned him, "Don't come again."
The big fool took the food and ran away again.
There was no other way. In order to prevent the big fool from knocking on his window again, Ye Li could only cook more dinner every day, and then pretend to pass by and throw it into the big fool's house to prevent him from knocking on the window in the middle of the night and being seen by others.
The big guy really won’t come now that he has food to eat.
"Huh..." Ye Li breathed a sigh of relief and slept until dawn. When he got up and opened the door, he saw a bunch of flowers still covered with dew at the door, and the water tank in the yard was full of water.
Ye Li raised his eyebrows. Which man in the tribe was attacking him?
Day after day, for five or six consecutive days, Ye Li's family's water tank would be filled before dawn, and there would always be a bouquet of flowers at the door. The flowers would be added in different ways every day, and sometimes there would even be some wild fruits or something.
Because Ye Li secretly provided food for the big guy, his food reserves were quickly consumed.
The men in the tribe are not stupid. How could they possibly send fish and other food to Ye Li every day? They are now waiting to see what choice Ye Li will make when she has no source of food, will she choose herself or another man?
When Ye Li woke up in the morning, she opened the cupboard and found only two sweet potatoes and half a dried fish. These were her only remaining food.
Although there are some wild vegetables and mushrooms, they are not filling enough.
