"Haha, it's a good thing your dad isn't here right now. If he were, and he heard you say that, he'd probably be urging you to go shovel pig manure again," Grandma Yu joked.
Xiao Fan didn't stay at the Yu family's house for long before going to Lu Yuan's house, with Yu Shaoheng accompanying him.
But when they arrived home, Lu Yuan wasn't there at all.
"Where's Brother Yuan?" Yu Shaoheng asked.
"I was just called away; something happened at the cowshed," Wen Muxue said.
"What happened? I'll go see." She said, pulling Xiao Fan outside.
Xiao Fan didn't like joining in the fun. "I'm not going. I'm too tired from the car ride back today and I don't want to move."
Helpless, Yu Shaoheng had no choice but to run out by himself.
He didn't return until dark, but he was alone; Lu Yuan was nowhere to be seen.

Gao Weishan asked in bewilderment, "I ran into that old man after the New Year. He seemed to be in good spirits and wasn't sick. How could he have suddenly died?"
Wen Moxue also felt it shouldn't be like this. She knew that ever since the incident with Grandpa Liu two years ago, after Lu Yuan asked the old man in the cowshed for some food, he would secretly help him out from time to time.
From then on, the old man's life became much better, and his health gradually improved. Logically speaking, he should have been able to live for another ten or twenty years.
Yu Shaoheng said, "Lin Xiaofang from the cowshed said that the old man accidentally fell to his death, but Brother Yuan said it didn't seem like an accident and has already reported it to the police."
