The old man could guess what she was thinking! What else could it be but mind reading?
The old man who could read minds snorted, "What mind-reading ability! I've seen countless people, what kind of people haven't I met! You're just a simple-minded girl who shows your emotions all over your face. I don't even need to think about it, I can tell what you're thinking!"
Su Nanxi: ...
Suddenly I find this old man really scary!
She's not exactly a naive person! Besides, she doesn't wear her heart on her sleeve!
Hmm! It must be that this old man is too strange!
The old man was getting impatient and yelled, "Ouch! I can't move! I can't move! Someone's just standing there watching and not helping at all. Don't they care about the elderly?!"
Su Nanxi's forehead creased with three black lines. This old man is such a drama queen!
Forget it, I won't stoop to the level of an old rascal!
Su Nanxi walked forward with a flashlight, intending to pull the old man out of the pit. The old man saw her flashlight, became interested, and stopped rushing out.
"Ugly girl, what is this thing?! It glows! Can I take a look?"
The old man asked in a consultative tone, but his actions showed no room for negotiation. He pounced forward, snatched the flashlight from Su Nanxi's hand, and then started playing with it happily.
Light suddenly burst into the cave, and the old man, being particularly wicked, shone it all over Su Nanxi's face, making her dizzy.
Su Nanxi was so angry she wanted to bite him. If it weren't for the old man's sake, she would have taken action!
"You little brat, you're already upset after just a little play with this thing? How stingy! Here, here you go! Humph!"
The old man handed the flashlight back to Su Nanxi and then shouted, "Do you have any food on you? Give me some, I'm so hungry, I don't have the strength to move!"
Su Nanxi didn't know what expression to make. This old man was really... indescribable!
The old man suddenly remembered something, "Ugly girl, can't you speak? I haven't heard you utter a single word in so long!"
Haha! You finally realized it too late!
So what if I can't speak properly? Does it interfere with her saving the person?
Forget it, let's hurry up and get this old man back up. He's already down there, there's no reason for him to run back up!
This old man is a bit strange; you can't stay in one place for long.
Isn't it easy to get delicious food?
She took a lot of things out of the basket, which were actually things she had put out from her spatial storage, but she just used the basket to cover them up.
Su Nanxi placed the food on a flat rock at the bottom of the cave, then went to help the old man up.
As soon as the old man saw the food, he sprang up and quickly walked toward where the food was, showing no signs of being unable to move!
Su Nanxi's outstretched hand froze in mid-air. Tsk! She'd been fooled by that old man again!
Perhaps she had developed immunity, because whatever the old man did next seemed reasonable to Su Nanxi, and she no longer had many emotional fluctuations.
The old man was only willing to go upstairs after he had eaten and drunk his fill.
Su Nanxi thought the old man wouldn't be able to climb up, and was thinking about how to get him up when the old man grabbed the rope and used his feet to push off the cave wall for leverage, and soon climbed to the top.
Ugh! All that worrying for nothing!
This cave was no challenge for him at all. She could have easily gotten it down by simply throwing down a rope; the trouble she caused him to give her a good scolding.
"Ugly girl, what's your name?"
The old man climbed down to the ground and sat under a tree to rest. When he saw Su Nanxi coming up, he asked her what was wrong.
Su Nanxi was speechless. Didn't he call her "ugly girl"?
Isn't that a name?
The old man said, "No, that was just something I called you by casually. You definitely have your own name!"
Ha! So you know it was just something you made up on the spot!
Do you remember that she couldn't speak?
The old man suddenly realized, "Oh right, I forgot! Looks like I still have to call you Ugly Girl! Ugly Girl, how did you end up here? If you want to gather herbs, you should go over there; there are more herbs there!"
Su Nanxi nodded absentmindedly; she wanted to go back, as the sun was already setting.
She slung her basket over her shoulder, secured the rope, waved goodbye, and left.
This old man must frequent the mountains and forests. There's no need to worry about him not finding his way home. As long as he doesn't fall into a pit, he can find his way back in the dark!
She also had to worry about whether she would encounter some kind of formation again.
Fortunately, the journey home went smoothly without any problems, and I arrived home quickly.
Mo Qinghe craned his neck, eagerly awaiting Su Xi's return, and quickly stepped forward to take her hand.
"Honey, are you tired? Come, sit here and rest for a while!"
Su Nanxi followed him to the tree and put down her basket.
"Here, are you thirsty? Have a glass of water to soothe your throat!"
Mo Qinghe poured a glass of water and handed it to Su Nanxi.
Grandma Mo watched from a distance, secretly pleased. Her third son had learned to cherish his wife; how wonderful! He had indeed become much more sensible after getting married!
The children hadn't seen Su Nanxi all day, and now they all gathered around, asking her questions with concern.
Su Nanxi smiled, she was fine, and then made a gesture indicating that she was fine.
The children found it fun and laughed as they followed along, mimicking the actions as they laughed.
Hearing the noise, Qin and Zhao looked over and smiled. These children just love to play!
Everyone was having a great time, chatting and laughing, and it was a very harmonious atmosphere.
But a discordant sound soon shattered this beautiful moment.
"Mom! Mom! I want rice noodles tonight! The kind steamed in a bamboo tray! And with lots of broth!"
Mo Yunmei returned from who-knows-where, and started shouting as soon as she entered the courtyard gate. Anyone who didn't know better would think she had done something great!
Mo Yunmei went to work, but after returning, she sneaked out and only just came back. As soon as she got back, she started clamoring to order food.
Grandma Mo's smile immediately faded, and she said calmly, "Hmm! Okay!"
Mo Yunmei was overjoyed to see that her mother had agreed. She turned around, went into the house, closed the door, and started fiddling with something inside.
When it was time for dinner, Mo Yunmei came out right on time.
"Mom! Why is it porridge? I said I wanted rice noodles! Where are the rice noodles?"
When Mo Yunmei saw that there was no powder, she was unhappy and angrily asked Old Lady Mo.
Grandma Mo sipped her porridge and replied leisurely, "I agreed, you can have some if you want!"
Mo Yunmei asked, "Then why didn't you do it?"
Grandma Mo lowered her head and took another sip of porridge. "Why should I do it? You have hands and feet, you can make whatever you want to eat yourself. Besides, you didn't ask me to do it!"
Mo Yunmei raised her voice, "I already asked you to make it! I said I wanted the kind of rice noodles cooked in a bamboo tray, with extra sauce! You clearly heard me!"
Grandma Mo remained indifferent, "You said you wanted to eat it, and I agreed. When did I ever promise to make noodles for you?"
"Yes!" Mo Yunmei insisted. "I already said I wanted to eat it, so why didn't you make it?"
Old Master Mo slammed his chopsticks on the table and roared, "How dare you yell at your mother like that? Just because you want to eat doesn't mean your mother will cook for you! Are you crippled?"
She's my mother!
