"Brother, Brother Zhuzi and Sister Cuiping haven't come back yet, what should we do? Waiting like this is not a solution."
"What should I do? I don't know what to do now.
We can't go back to the village. Brother Guang was implicated by me and has not yet been cleared of suspicion. We can't sell these wild boar meats. I really don't know where to transport them."
Li Yuemin sighed heavily and said.
"Brother, why don't we sell the supply and marketing cooperative? Even if it's cheap, at least we can make money. We are in great need of money right now."
"My silly brother, look at the time now. A fire at the Li family killed more than ten people. This matter must have spread like wildfire. How dare we show up?"
"Brother, isn't Director Zhao also trying to catch them? We're getting rid of this evil for the people, so he doesn't have to do it. They should be thanking us."
Li Yuemin waved his hand:
"Yuejin, you don't understand what I mean.
It’s not that I’m afraid of being caught by Director Zhao, but I want to take this opportunity to let the outside world think that our Li family has been wiped out.
...
...
That Lai guy won't bother us anymore. I will secretly look for an opportunity to catch them all in one fell swoop."
When Li Yuejin heard this, he immediately gave a thumbs up and praised:
"Brother, you are amazing, you really know how to escape.
However, you must not let this idiot Li Guolin go. If he and Song Mengyao hadn't been messing around behind the scenes, we wouldn't have lost our home.
Brother, we won't really live in a cave in the future, right?"
"How can that be, you just don't trust me?
Don't worry, it won't be long before I build you the biggest and most beautiful house in the village."
“Brother, you have always been my idol, so of course I believe you.
Otherwise, brother, you can go find them and I'll stay here alone. If you're always reluctant to let me go through danger, I won't be able to grow up."
Li Yuemin shook his head:
"This is in the old forest, not at home. My submachine gun is out of bullets, and there is only one Hanyang rifle left.
Even with Hu Zi and the others around, they wouldn’t be able to fight for long if a ferocious beast really came.
Listen to me, searching around without a direction is the most dangerous thing."
After Li Yuemin finished speaking, he added a few more sticks of firewood to the campfire, stood up, and walked around the meadow in annoyance.
Just as he was looking anxiously into the distance with his arms folded, a hand patted her shoulder:
"Brother Yuemin, I'm missing. Are you worried?"
Li Yuemin looked back and saw Yin Cuiping looking at him with a playful smile.
"Sister Cuiping, you are still in the mood to laugh.
I rode my horse to look for you for more than an hour, and Zhuzi also went to look for you, but you haven't come back yet. Tell me, where did you go?"
"I won't tell you yet. I'm hungry. Is there anything to eat?"
"There is food, delicious roasted wild boar meat. But if you don't tell me where you've been, there's no way you can get in."
"I'm telling you, I disappeared on purpose, just to see if you really care about me."
When Li Yuemin heard this, he was so angry that he raised his hand and was about to hit him. But he resisted the urge and let it go.
"Nonsense! What place is this? This old forest covered in ice and snow is not your young lady's boudoir."
Seeing that Li Yuemin was really angry, Yin Cuiping grabbed his arm:
"Okay, brother Yuemin, don't be so serious. I was just teasing you on purpose. Am I the kind of person who doesn't know the seriousness of the matter?
To tell you the truth, I was chasing a wild boar just now, but I made a great discovery."
"Let's not talk about the major discovery first, Sister Cuiping, you made me so angry just now that I noticed where your scarf and hat are."
As Li Yuemin spoke, he hurriedly took off his collar and put it on Yin Cuiping.
This action made Yin Cuiping's heart burn 180 degrees instantly. Her face turned red and she said:
"Let me warm myself by the fire, and have something to eat, and then I'll tell you all about it."
"I'm relieved that you're back. Tell me later if you find anything. I'm worried about Zhuzi, so I'll go look for him."
After Li Yuemin finished speaking, he rode on Yin Cuiping's white horse and called Hu Zi:
"Huzi, follow me!"
Hu Zi was full and was snuggling with Ah Hong, taking a nap lazily on a tree branch.
As soon as they heard Li Yuemin's call, they flew to his side. Dahuan, Erhuan, and Aqiang followed closely behind them and surrounded Li Yuemin.
"Dahuan, Erhuan, you two stay here. Huzi, Ah Hong, Ah Qiang, come with me to find Zhuzi."
Dahuan and Erhuan saw Li Yuemin and Huzi and the other two walking away, so they returned to the campfire.
Li Yuemin rode the horse for about ten minutes. Suddenly, Hu Zi ran towards the front left, shouting excitedly.
Sure enough, not long after, Zhuzi appeared in the woods on horseback with an unhappy look on his face. When he saw Li Yuemin, he asked directly:
"Brother, have you found Sister Cuiping?"
"Second brother, didn't I tell you that this girl recognized the way? There's no need to look for her. She came back on her own. She's probably eating barbecue now."
When Zhuzi heard this, he finally felt relieved. He rode back with Li Yuemin, wanting to say something several times but stopping himself.
"Second brother, I see you seem to be worried. Don't be so nagging like a woman. If you have something to say, just say it."
"Brother, I just thought about it. Although I know it is impossible for Cuiping and I to be together, I just can't let her go.
It would be unfair to Jiang Bilian to live like this."
Li Yuemin frowned when he heard this:
"So what are you going to do? Cancel your engagement with Cuiping? Second brother, do you know what a blow it will be to her if you do this?"
"Brother, I can't lie to her. I just treat her as a sister, and there is no love between us.
I think the sooner we tell her, the less harm it will cause her.”
Zhuzi said with a melancholy look in his eyes.
After listening to this, Li Yuemin glared at him fiercely:
"Second brother, do you think you are a man by doing this? You think you are very particular about your work, bullshit!
What were you thinking when you agreed to Jiang Bilian? You're not going to tell me that you were just being impulsive.
Second brother, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but given your conditions, if someone chooses to be your wife, your ancestors would have been very lucky, and you're still taking advantage of that.
If you don't think about yourself, you should also think about your parents. How old are they? With your mother's health, how many years can she live?
Listen to me, stop wondering. Yin Cuiping is not someone you can reach."
"I don't want to marry someone above my station, I just want to watch her from afar."
"What a fool! Are you willing to stick with such an illusory person and give up a person who lives a down-to-earth life with you? Do you think it's worth it?"
"Brother, but I..."
Zhuzi wanted to explain, but Li Yuemin waved his hand:
"Second brother, I really treat you as a brother, which is why I tell you these words from the bottom of my heart.
If you don't listen to me, our brotherhood will end here. You can decide for yourself."
After saying that, he clamped his legs on the horse's belly and rode away.
