"So, if we really count the favors, who owes whom the most? I am the one who should be thanked the most!
But I know that You Yatou hates me talking about this the most, so I never mention it.
We have been together for such a long time, and we have such close contact because we recognize each other's character. I think even if we put aside the so-called gratitude, we will take care of each other for the rest of our lives in the future. What do you think?"
After drinking a glass of wine, Xiang Huaixin spoke very emotionally.
"Okay, okay, since Brother Xiang and Brother Bai have said so, then I won't mention it again, and none of us will mention it again. Come on, let's toast!" Wen Jiuyue, who hardly drinks, also raised his glass.
"Cheers!" Several people raised their glasses together, and the aroma of the wine filled the room, blending into the air that was already filled with happiness, intoxicating everyone's hearts.
…
Although there were two bedrooms, Wen Jiuyue was worried about letting Leng You sleep alone. She had forgotten that when Leng You was in the Leng family, he had always slept alone in the side room with wind blowing in from all sides.
Leng You didn't care. As long as Wen Jiuyue was happy, she would rather follow Wen Jiuyue's wishes.
On the first night sleeping in the new home, everything was new, even the bedding was new. Wen Jiuyue was so excited that she couldn’t fall asleep.
In the dim candlelight, looking at Leng You's little face sleeping peacefully, all kinds of feelings surged into my heart, and I covered my mouth and cried again.
Leng You only opened his eyelids slightly, and then closed them tightly, pretending to be asleep.
She could understand Wen Jiuyue's feelings, and she knew that this was her release after years of repression, so she should be allowed to vent completely. After that, she would become a different person.
The house was already built, so the only work at home was the ten acres of farmland. But with Xiang Huaixin and Bai Changpu helping, Leng You didn't need to intervene at all.
Leng You started running into the valley every day again.
As the weather warmed up, the temperature at the bottom of the valley rose higher and higher, so Leng You no longer carried the dug herbs up on his back. Instead, he would dry and peel them at the bottom of the valley, and then carry them up when they were almost dry.
The volume and weight of the medicinal materials will be greatly reduced when they go from wet to dry. This not only saves her a lot of energy, but also saves her the number of times she has to carry them.
When she was not carrying medicinal herbs, she would cut down the dry dead trees at the bottom of the valley and carry them back home. There were so many dead trees at the bottom of the valley that they were countless, and the ones she carried back home were enough for her, Wen Jiuyue, and Xiang Huaixin to use.
At first, Wen Jiuyue, Xiang Huaixin and others tried to stop it resolutely, but when they saw Leng You dragging two dead trees as thick as an adult's thighs back home without changing his expression or heartbeat one day, their eyes almost fell to the ground.
Although the tree had been cut into several pieces, the total weight was more than two or three hundred kilograms.
It is not only incredible that such a little girl could climb up from the valley carrying such a heavy load, it is also extremely terrifying for anyone.
"I didn't carry it up together." Leng You explained specifically.
She did carry the crops to the valley piece by piece, mainly because it was inconvenient to carry, otherwise she could have handled this amount.
"Xiao Youyou, tell Grandpa Bai, how much weight can you carry?" Bai Changpu suddenly had an idea like a child.
"I don't know." Leng You shook his head sincerely.
She certainly hadn't made an accurate estimate.
"Well... forget it." Bai Changpu was reluctant to let Leng You try, for he was afraid of hurting his beloved disciple.
"Girl You, don't let anyone know that you are so strong, okay?" Xiang Huaixin's face was a little solemn.
"I understand." Leng You nodded again.
Xiang Wentian had also reminded her of this issue, and she herself knew the pros and cons of the relationship better. However, she felt that it was unnecessary and impossible to completely hide this from Xiang Huaixin and the others, after all, there were many things at home that needed her to do.
It would be fine to show them only part of it, but if she really showed it all, it would probably scare them, and the real secret hidden behind it would be exposed, and that was something that must not be known to a third person except her and Xiang Wentian.
"Youyou, you are still young. Even if you become stronger in the future, you can't carry such heavy things. It's easy to hurt your strength, okay?" Wen Jiuyue felt very distressed. She believed that Leng You was like this because of the inhuman treatment he received in the Leng family.
"I will do my best." Leng You could not completely agree with Wen Jiuyue.
Daheishan Village is remote and isolated, and it is extremely difficult to buy some coal for burning. It is okay in the summer, but in the winter, they need heating, so she and Wen Jiuyue can only use these dead wood as fuel.
"But..." Wen Jiuyue looked at Xiang Huaixin and Bai Changpu, hoping that they could help persuade Leng You.
"You can lift weights that are within your capabilities, but you must not get too tired." Bai Changpu spoke from a doctor's perspective, and this also comforted Wen Jiuyue's heart.
From then on, Leng You started to transport the wood to his home. Many of the dead trees at the bottom of the valley had begun to rot due to being there for too long, and these were most suitable for starting a fire.
In between digging medicinal herbs and moving dead wood, Leng You would ride his red dates and gallop freely at the foot of the mountain. Sometimes he would also bring five black backs to run wildly at the foot of the mountain.
Because the five puppies were fed with various bones and wild animals every day, they grew rapidly to be more than one foot tall in just one month and became very close to Leng You.
Every day when Leng You goes out, if they are not locked up in the kennel in advance, they will definitely follow Leng You and cannot be driven back even if you try to drive them away.
Leng You also gave each dog a name, calling them according to their size: Yimao, Ermao, Sanmao, Simao and Wumao. Maybe dogs are simpler than horses. They immediately accepted the names given by their owners and looked proud.
Leng You would often untie the horse's reins after dinner and let it follow her. The five puppies would also gather around her, and the one person, one horse and five dogs would go to the valley in a mighty manner.
Every time at this time, Xiang Huaixin, Bai Changpu and Wen Jiuyue would watch the scenery with smiles on their faces until it disappeared. Such a scene always made them feel pleasing to the eye. And every time at this time, they seemed to find a trace of the shadow of Leng You that should belong to her age.
Sometimes Leng You would carry the five puppies to the bottom of the valley and let them flutter around. As they grew bigger, they were even able to successfully catch rabbits.
What amazed Leng You was that several puppies actually cooperated to capture a roe deer, and the hunting scene also allowed her to witness the true wildness of the blackback bloodline. No wonder Xiang Wentian brought three of them to Pingdu.
That's it, every thing, every object, even every scenery, can make Leng You think of Xiang Wentian anytime and anywhere.
