Chapter 192 Gods 13
Every afternoon at one o'clock, Lin Lianhua would ask Yu Qing to go to the back mountain together to pick wild vegetables, or study some traps to catch game. She was very talented in this area.
If she were not a female, Lin Lianhua might have become a very good hunter.
Few people go into the deep back mountains, where there are rabbits, pheasants, wild boars and so on.
Ordinary life passed by like this. Three days later, Nie Qinhai's leg was unexpectedly more than half healed. Even the barefoot doctor said it was a miracle.
The broken leg grew back in just three days without any displacement, which proved that he could walk after he was fully healed without any lameness.
The person who was most happy about this was Aunt Zhang. After she finished her work that afternoon and returned home, she sent Lin Lianhua and Da Niu away and went to the room where Nie Qinhai was recuperating.
Looking at the handsome man on the earthen kang, Aunt Zhang was more and more satisfied, but at the same time, she was also a little worried. Her daughter Erniu was not stunning in appearance, at most she was the type that was pleasing to the eye, and she was really afraid that Nie Qinhai would not like Erniu.
Aunt Zhang sat on the other side of the earthen kang, staring at him for a long time, her eyes sometimes conflicted and sometimes worried, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
Nie Qinhai had lived in the sea since he was born, so naturally he didn't understand these human tricks, but he had a straightforward personality, and when he saw Aunt Zhang seemed to be struggling with something, he asked directly.
"Aunt Zhang, if you have anything to say, just say it. You saved my life, so you don't have to worry so much. Is it my existence that bothers you?"
He could see that the family who saved him were not in good condition. From the rations they ate, he could tell that they had hardly had any meat in recent days.
"It's no trouble, no trouble." Aunt Zhang was afraid that he would misunderstand, so she waved her hands anxiously.
"Are there any other difficulties?" Nie Qinhai asked.
Aunt Zhang sighed, thought for a long time, and then smiled. "Since you put it that way, I won't beat around the bush. You were picked up by my second daughter, and now everyone in the village is saying that she and you... have an inappropriate relationship."
Nie Qinhai was slightly stunned. This was something he had never thought of. It seemed that there was indeed such a saying among humans, that there were differences between men and women, unlike in the sea.
Nie Qinhai promised: "Don't worry about this, I will explain to them that there is no improper relationship between Lianhua and me, and it will not affect her..." reputation.
Aunt Zhang shook her head and interrupted him: "You can't just say it casually. To tell you the truth, my original plan was to let you marry my second daughter."
Seeing Nie Qinhai suddenly fall silent, Aunt Zhang choked.
"If you don't want to, I won't force you, but I hope you can consider my daughter more. She is kind-hearted."
After saying that, Aunt Zhang looked at him quietly, waiting for Nie Qinhai to give her the final answer.
The air became somewhat quiet...
Nie Qinhai lowered his long eyelashes, and a shadow fell under his eyes. It was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
After a long while, Nie Qinhai raised his head again, and an inexplicable smile appeared on his stunning face: "Aunt Zhang, I'm so sorry."
Aunt Zhang's face turned a little ugly, but she didn't mean to embarrass him: "It's okay, it's normal for you to be like this. After all, you didn't ask my daughter to save you, so I can't blame you."
"In return, I will pay you a sum of money, enough for you to live a carefree life for the rest of your life." Nie Qinhai has a treasure house in the sea. Any item in it is enough for an ordinary person to have food and drink for a lifetime.
But he didn't know that in today's time, no matter how precious something is, it cannot be kept, let alone his gold and jewelry.
"Yeah." Aunt Zhang didn't know what was wrong with her and was not very satisfied with the result. In fact, she couldn't force Nie Qinhai to do anything.
"By the way, where do you live and what's your name? I'll go find your family for you."
Nie Qinhai shook his head: "I have no parents, no brothers or sisters."
That means he is an orphan... Aunt Zhang felt hopeful again. Maybe the two of them would fall in love with each other over time. Who could guarantee that? Besides, it was good for him to be an orphan. He could just stay at home.
But now, Aunt Zhang couldn't say anything more, so she took it one step at a time: "Then Aunt Zhang will go out first. If you feel uncomfortable, just call me, I'll be in the yard."
"good."
“Squeak—”
The door opened and closed, and after Aunt Zhang left, Nie Qinhai leaned against the wall and thought.
Let’s not talk about whether he has feelings for Lin Lianhua. Even if he has feelings for her, they can’t be together. Gods and humans are from two completely different worlds. Humans have short lifespans and cannot practice the magic of gods.
So he directly cut off all possibilities. He could not and must not have any thoughts about Lin Lianhua. He was always clear about this.
…
…
In the silent forest, Lin Lianhua squatted under a big tree, holding a few thick branches she had picked up, and made a simple trap. Then, she dusted off her hands and walked towards the hiding place behind her.
She sat down on the small rock next to Yu Qing and whispered to her, "This trap won't catch big game, but it can catch rabbits, pheasants, and the like. Hehe, if you're lucky, I'll give you some extra meat."
Yu Qing glanced at her, took out the little rabbit candy from his pocket and put it in her hand: "Be good, it's okay if you can't catch it. If you catch it, take it home and give it to Aunt Zhang and Big Girl to nourish their bodies."
Lin Lianhua was immediately moved and nestled in her arms, her smiling eyes curved into crescents. Then, she sat up straight, peeled off the candy wrapper and put the little rabbit candy into her mouth.
The candy was wrapped in an edible film. The milky taste that spread in her mouth was sweet and a bit greasy, but she thought it was particularly delicious.
Taking advantage of her good mood, Yu Qing asked at the right time: "Erniu, can I ask you a question?"
Lin Lianhua nodded: "Of course, you can ask anything you want. You are my best friend and one of the three most important people."
Yu Qing curled her lips: "Do you like Nie Qinhai?"
“No way!!!”
Lin Lianhua's reaction was somewhat obvious. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and the thought of Nie Qinhai's handsome face lingered in her mind.
Yu Qing: "If I like you, I like you. If I don't like you, I don't like you. I won't tell anyone. There's nothing to be shy about between you and me."
"Hmm..." Lin Lianhua lowered her head slightly, and after a long while, she spoke shyly, her voice as thin and weak as a mosquito's: "Yes... a little bit."
"I can see that. So what do you think?"
"What else can I think? He's so handsome, and it's obvious he's not an ordinary guy. I'm probably not worthy of him, and he probably doesn't like me either."
Lin Lianhua looked a little lonely when she said this, but the last word "ba" was filled with a hint of anticipation. She also had extravagant hopes. What if...
