Chen Ping chuckled awkwardly and said, "I was just asking casually, I didn't mean anything by it, so you can't just leave it at that."
Yun Duo ignored Chen Ping and looked at Yun Dazheng, saying, "Grandpa, now that we've collected the bees, let's go home. Leopard's men should be here soon."
"Okay, let's go home." Yun Dazheng nodded, walked to the beehive, and prepared to carry it on his back.
"I'll do it, I'll do it." Chen Ping shoved the beehive in his hand into Chen Aijun's hand, said, "Take this back with me," and then scurried over to the beehive. He said to Yun Dazheng, "Uncle Yun, I'll carry it. I don't have anything else to do anyway, so I'll take you back. It's hard to walk in the woods, so you should rest and let us young people do it. Besides, you're already carrying half a beehive, so it's even harder for you to carry more."
Yun Duo knew that it was the "Leopard Master" she had mentioned who had made the difference. Chen Ping was still unwilling to give up and wanted to confirm the truth, so he immediately said, "Grandpa, let him carry it. He just said something wrong and should be punished. It's good that he carries the beehives and bees back for us. We'll consider it forgiveness."
“Okay. You carry it.” Yun Dazheng knew Yun Duo’s intention, so he nodded and gave up his spot in front of the beehive to Chen Ping. He told Chen Aijun and then took Yun Duo on the way home.
Chen Ping quickly carried the beehive on his back and followed Yun Dazheng eagerly. As they walked, he tried to find out if Yun Dazheng and his group had really gotten in touch with Leopard, and if so, how exactly they had done so.
Yun Dazheng didn't elaborate, only letting him guess.
When they got home, Chen Ping put the beehives on the frame that had been set up in the backyard. Just as they were done, they heard Wang Feng calling from outside: "Uncle Yun, Xiao Duo'er, are you home?"
"Someone's home," Yun Dazheng called out as he walked out.
"Oh! Leopard's men are here." Yun Duo deliberately whispered in Chen Ping's ear before heading forward.
As for Chen Ping, he thought for a while before following Yun Duo ahead.
As soon as Wang Feng saw Yun Duo, he handed her the cup he was holding, saying, "Xiao Duo, here, you can go get it, I won't go. I've walked such a long way, I'm so thirsty, I'll just stay ahead and ask for a drink of water."
Yun Duo immediately took the cup and said to Yun Dazheng, "Grandpa, pour Brother Wang a glass of water. I'll go get the royal jelly." With that, she walked to the back.
Yun Da invited Wang Feng into the house to sit down, and then went to pour water for Wang Feng.
Chen Ping, with a fawning expression, approached Wang Feng and cautiously probed, "Brother, I heard from Xiao Duo'er that you're here to help Master Leopard retrieve something? I suppose you're highly regarded by Master Leopard?"
Just by looking at Chen Ping, Wang Feng knew that this kid was similar to his own group. However, he was a trusted subordinate of Master Leopard, and was not on the same level as this small-time hoodlum. So, he immediately became somewhat arrogant and said slowly, "Of course, I'm here to get medicine for our old lady on behalf of Master Leopard. Master Leopard is very filial to the old lady, so of course he would entrust such an important matter to his capable subordinate." Regardless of whether he was truly trusted by Master Leopard, he still had to boast.
Upon hearing Wang Feng's words, Chen Ping realized that what Yun Duo had said earlier was indeed true; they had really gotten involved with Leopard. He quickly asked, "Brother, what kind of 'medicine' is it? Why did you have to make this trip in person?"
