"Be careful, the road is difficult." His voice was low and concerned, and his fingers tightened slightly, as if he was afraid that she would dodge again.
Shen Liwu nodded and forced a smile, “Well, I understand.”
The air was filled with a faint smell of blood. Although they had cleaned the snake's body, the smell still lingered.
Shen Liwu's nose twitched slightly, and his brows frowned slightly, "Let's go faster, this smell may attract wild animals."
Zhou Yanjing didn't answer, but his pace obviously quickened.
Zhou Li had returned home and had not yet had lunch when he saw the two men coming back. He was so angry that he picked up a broom beside him and didn't know whether to hit them or not.
"Zhou Yanjing, you are already an adult, but you are still running around with Wuwu. She is still pregnant. Don't you know how dangerous it is in the mountains? How can you be so brave?"
Seeing this, Shen Liwu quickly stepped forward, stood in front of Zhou Yanjing, and whispered, "Mom, don't be angry, we are fine."
Zhou Li glared at Zhou Yanjing fiercely, and the broom drew an arc in the air, but ultimately did not fall.
Her voice was filled with suppressed anger. "All right? Do you know how long I've been waiting at home? You two are so carefree, don't you know that my heart is about to jump out of my chest!"
Shen Liwu whispered: “Mom, I’m sorry, it was me who insisted on going up the mountain, don’t blame Yan Jing.”
Zhou Li's eyes fell on her belly, which had not yet bulged. His eyes softened a little, but his tone was still stern, "Wu Wu, why are you fooling around with me? You are not alone now. What if something happens?"
Zhou Yanjing quickly took over the conversation, "Mom, we are really fine. Look, we found something good." As he said that, he took out the ginseng from the cloth bag and handed it to Zhou Li.
Zhou Li took the ginseng and examined it carefully. The anger on his face eased a little, but he still kept muttering, "This thing is good, but no matter how good it is, it is not as important as your lives!"
She sighed, put down the broom, turned and walked towards the kitchen, "Come in and eat quickly, the food is getting cold."
Shen Liwu and Zhou Yanjing looked at each other, nodded in tacit understanding, and followed into the house.
The aroma of food wafted from the kitchen. Zhou Li was busy heating up the dishes. The spatula was stirring in the pot, making crisp clinking sounds. She had her back to the two of them, her shoulders tense, and she was obviously still angry.
Shen Liwu quietly walked to Zhou Li and said softly, “Mom, let me help you.”
Zhou Li turned his head, glanced at her, frowned, "Don't touch these, go sit down and rest for a while, you must be tired after coming back from the mountain." Although his tone was hard, it showed concern.
Shen Liwu pursed her lips, but still obediently stepped back a few steps and sat down at the dining table. Zhou Yanjing also sat down.
At this time, Zhou Li came over with the hot dishes. "You two should stop causing me trouble in the future, especially you,"
She pointed at Zhou Yanjing with a stern look in her eyes, "If you dare to run around with Wuwu again, I will break your legs."
"Mom, I was the one who insisted on taking Zhou Yanjing up the mountain to collect herbs. We will be leaving in two days, and there will be no one to take care of Uncle Jiu when he comes back, so I thought of digging some herbs to apply to his hands, so that he can get better faster."
After hearing this, Zhou Li paused the plate in his hand, raised his eyes to look at Chen Liwu with a complicated look. This kid is a good one.
Her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just sighed and shook her head.
