Chapter 117: Try harder, young man. I'm counting on you.
When Qi Man returned to Qingyun Village, it was already nine o'clock in the morning. The sun was scorching and the villagers had already gone to work early to start a new day's work.
Qi Man rode her bicycle across the field and not far from her home, she saw a familiar figure. She recognized him immediately: it was Xie Yunshu.
Xie Yunshu is the tallest man in the village. He is like a walking clothes rack and has a perfect figure, so he is easy to recognize.
Pushing his bicycle, he walked over leisurely. Without waiting for Qi Man to speak, Xie Yunshu turned around first. The moment he saw Qi Man, his calm black eyes were filled with love. He stared straight at the person in front of him, as if she was the only one in the world. His throat rolled involuntarily, and his tone was magnetic and steady:
"You're back? Yesterday I came to look for you, and Master Qi said that you went to the county town. It happened that you went hunting in the mountains this morning, so he thought it was fresh, so he brought some here so that he wouldn't have to go out to buy them."
He shook the game in his hand.
Qi Man took a look and saw quite a variety of species, including pheasants, hares, and a few birds, all of which were relatively large in size, and a row of pork, all of which were her favorites.
In this way, you don’t have to work hard hunting every day, and you can use the hunting time to sleep. Perfect!
"Thank you, Grandpa is home, why don't you go in and wait?"
The sun was scorching, and the skin could easily get sunburned if one stood outside for just half an hour. It looked like Xie Yunshu had been standing outside for nearly a few hours. Qi Man pushed the door open and came in.
Xie Yunshu followed with the game in his hand and shook his head: "Master Qi is old and needs more rest. He hasn't been standing for long." Mainly waiting for you to come back.
Xie Yunshu did not say the last part. He lowered his eyes to hide the love in his eyes. He did not like Qi Man saying thank you to him. He said in a hoarse voice:
"No need to thank me. If I have to thank someone, it should be me. If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't be able to stand here alive."
That day, he appeared in the forest with injuries all over his body. Logically, he would not live long and should have reported to the King of Hell long ago.
But with a trace of obsession in his heart, he forced himself to go to Qingyun Village, wanting to see Qi Man one last time and say goodbye to his mother.
But before he reached the village, he collapsed in the deep mountains and forests due to exhaustion and excessive blood loss. It was thought that he would die in the forest and become a wandering ghost.
But I never thought that I would meet Qi Man in the forest.
It is just unclear what Qi Man fed him that allowed a dying man to recover from his fatal wounds so quickly in a short period of time. After a few days of recuperation, he was back to normal.
No one would believe it if I told them that a lively and energetic person had been to the gates of hell a few days ago.
Qi Man waved her hand casually: "It's just a small favor. If you weren't good-looking and to my taste, I wouldn't even look at you."
Xie Yunshu's eyes were bright as he stared at Qi Man.
Manman said, is it to her liking?
My heart was pounding, unable to hide my excitement, and my blood suddenly became wild, boiling for the person in front of me.
Qi Man spoke bluntly and did not notice anything unusual about Xie Yunshu.
The two walked into the yard, where Grandpa Qi was practicing Tai Chi. Seeing his granddaughter coming back, he withdrew his hand and smiled kindly:
"Manman is back. It's time for breakfast. How about grandpa make some for you? Oh, Xiao Xie is here too."
Now the smile on his face became even brighter.
Yesterday in the middle of the night, the village chief suddenly knocked on the door and came to inform that his granddaughter would not be coming back to sleep that night. Unexpectedly, when she came back, she brought Xie Yunshu with her.
Qi Man smiled sweetly and explained softly, "Grandpa, I've already eaten in the county town. When I came back, I saw Comrade Xie standing at the door. He's been standing there for several hours."
When Mr. Qi heard this, his eyes fell on Xie Yunshu: "Why don't you come in now? I'm at home."
Usually Xiao Xie always knocks on the door before coming in, why did he wait outside for several hours before coming in today?
Her eyes moved between her granddaughter and Xie Yunshu, and suddenly she smiled like an auntie, which, combined with her kind smile, seemed a little strange.
Qi Man's mouth twitched. What happened to grandpa?
Xie Yunshu felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by Mr. Qi, his ears turned slightly red, his eyes fell on Qi Man, and he said dryly:
"I thought you should get some more sleep and I didn't want to disturb you, so I waited outside and waited until Manman came back."
Grandpa Qi looked at Xie Yunshu with an expression that said, "I understand everything." He glanced at his confused granddaughter, walked leisurely to Xie Yunshu, patted his broad shoulders, and said earnestly:
"Young man, try harder, I'm counting on you!"
Xie Yunshu's eyes suddenly lit up and he became energetic.
Grandpa Qi means...
As if sensing Xie Yunshu's shock, Mr. Qi smiled and patted him twice, then reached out and took the game from Xie Yunshu's hand:
"Give me this thing. Put it in the chicken coop and raise it for a while. Then I'll make a pot of tea. You two can sit down first."
After saying that, he carried his things to the chicken coop, untied the rope around the leg of the game, which was still breathing, and threw it inside, then ran into the kitchen.
Only Qi Man and Xie Yunshu were left in the huge courtyard.
Qi Man stretched lazily, glanced at Xie Yunshu who was standing motionless in the yard, and said doubtfully:
"Standing is tiring, let's sit down."
"Um."
Xie Yunshu responded in a muffled voice, and sat down next to Qi Man. After thinking for a moment, he stared at the pretty girl beside him who was taking out a White Rabbit candy from her bag and stuffing it into her mouth, and blurted out:
"I have been experiencing chest tightness and shortness of breath recently, and the wound is also itchy."
Qi Man took a bite of White Rabbit candy and asked:
"Chest tightness and shortness of breath, go find Uncle Wei. I'm not a barefoot doctor, why are you looking for me?"
As long as one is alive, those minor injuries and pains on the body are not within her jurisdiction.
Besides, there are barefoot doctors in the village, so she would not bother to meddle in other people's business.
Xie Yunshu was not good at communicating, and after being confronted like this, he was somewhat speechless. His mind raced and he quickly organized his words:
"Uncle Wei has been busy these past two days. I went to look for him several times, but he locked me out. I have no choice but to come to you since I don't know how to treat a disease."
Qi Man bared her big white teeth and looked at Xie Yunshu with dissatisfaction: "Do you think I am a doctor?"
The latter stared at Qi Man and said, "You saved my life. I'm afraid of the sequelae. I can't go up the mountain to hunt in advance, and I can't send the game here in time..."
I learned from Erya that Manman is a meat lover.
Although he knew that Manman was capable of hunting in the mountains, after observing for some time, he found that Manman always adhered to the idea of not moving if possible, so he brought up the topic in this regard.
Qi Man: ...
have to! It's gone bad.
It was a pity to think that such a young and energetic guy like Xie Yunshu could not go up the mountain to hunt, so Qi Man compromised.
She definitely didn't compromise just to be lazy and sleep a little longer, or just for a bite of meat.
