Chapter 626, Third Uncle
"What took you so long?"
Looking at Daohua and Xiao Yeyang coming back, Yan Wentao had a hint of blame on his face.
Daohua smiled awkwardly: "Sorry, Third Brother, I kept you waiting for so long."
Yan Wentao glanced at Xiao Yeyang obscurely, then looked at Daohua and said, "It doesn't matter if I wait a little longer, but it would be embarrassing to let the elders at home wait for us to go back for lunch."
Daohua quickly admitted her mistake: "I didn't check the time, let's go quickly." After that, she took the lead and walked down the mountain.
After Daohua walked a distance away, Xiao Yeyang looked at Yan Wentao and shrugged, saying, "It's really not that I'm deliberately delaying time. It's just too difficult to walk through Yixiantian."
Yan Wentao snorted: "You have to remember to be careful."
Xiao Yeyang was in a good mood today and nodded politely: "I understand, my third uncle."
Yan Wentao was stunned by the call of "Third Uncle" and looked at Xiao Yeyang with wide eyes.
Xiao Yeyang smiled, said nothing, and quickly went to chase the rice flowers.
After a while, Yan Wentao came back to his senses. At this time, Daohua and Xiao Yeyang had already walked away.
When they started to go down the stairs, Xiao Yeyang said to Daohua, "Don't your feet hurt? Come, I'll carry you down." As he said that, he squatted in front of Daohua.
Seeing Yan Wentao coming over, Daohua felt embarrassed to let Xiao Yeyang carry her at this time, so she quickly walked around him and went straight downstairs.
Seeing this, Xiao Yeyang quickly pulled the man back and said, "You want to get blisters on your feet, don't you?"
Daohua moved her tingling feet: "That shouldn't be the case, right?"
Xiao Yeyang squatted in front of Daohua again: "There are no outsiders around here, what do you have to worry about?" Then he turned to look at Yan Wentao, "Wentao, don't you agree?"
Yan Wentao glanced at Xiao Yeyang, then looked at Daohua: "Does your foot hurt?"
Daohua quickly shook her head: "It doesn't hurt much."
Yan Wentao was silent for a moment. "Let Yeyang carry you. It's still very hot. You've been climbing up and down since early in the morning, so you must have used up most of your energy. Don't get a heat stroke like Third Sister."
Seeing that Yan Wentao agreed, Xiao Yeyang grabbed Daohua's hand and carried her on his back: "Okay, let's go down the mountain."
Looking at Xiao Yeyang, who was walking briskly and smiling, Yan Wentao looked a little dazed.
Ye Yang, who is always intimidating and reserved in front of outsiders, seems to be as unrestrained as a teenager only in front of the rice flowers.
"Master Yan San, he's gone."
Seeing Yan Wentao standing still, Defu reminded him with a smile.
Yan Wentao came back to his senses and walked downstairs.
In front, Daohua lay on Xiao Yeyang's back and looked back at Yan Wentao from time to time. Being watched by her third brother, she always felt embarrassed as if she was caught in a premature love affair.
"Xiao Yeyang, you'd better put me down later."
Xiao Yeyang asked with a smile, "Are you afraid that Wentao will go back and complain?"
Daohua: "Third brother is not that kind of person."
Xiao Yeyang: "Then what else do you have to worry about?"
Rice flower: “.”
Xiao Yeyang: "Alright, your third brother already knows about you and me. There's nothing to hide."
Daohua glared: "What do you and I have to do with each other?"
Xiao Yeyang: "What are you talking about?"
Daohua couldn't help but sigh in her heart, closed her eyes in annoyance, and then lightly bumped her head against Xiao Yeyang's back.
Xiao Yeyang felt it and couldn't help but chuckle.
After hearing this, Daohua patted Xiao Yeyang on the shoulder, then secretly turned back to look at her third brother who was walking behind her. Seeing him glance at her with his hands behind his back and an expressionless face, Daohua immediately withdrew her gaze.
After that, Daohua gave up and walked away without worrying about whether to go down or not.
There was a section of stairs going down the mountain that was completely exposed to the sun. It was almost noon, when the sun was at its hottest. Daohua saw the sweat on Xiao Yeyang's forehead dripping down his cheeks, so she wiped it off for him with a handkerchief from time to time.
"Are you tired? Why don't you put me down and walk by yourself."
"How important are you? Don't worry, I'm not tired, it's just that the sweat dripped into my eyes and they hurt a little."
"Then I'll wipe it for you."
Xiao Yeyang immediately raised his head and let Daohua wipe the sweat off his face.
From behind, looking at Daohua and Xiao Yeyang who were behaving intimately, Yan Wentao felt a little blocked in his heart. In order to avoid seeing them and getting annoyed, he quickly walked in front of them. When he passed by them, he snorted heavily.
When Daohua saw this, she stopped wiping her sweat.
Xiao Yeyang quickly said, "Ignore him. He must be jealous of me. When we went out to play together, Miss Zhou often wiped his sweat. What's there for him to complain about?"
Daohua became interested: "Really? Why didn't I notice it before?"
Xiao Yeyang smiled and said, "There's a lot you haven't noticed. Your third brother isn't as honest as he appears. The Zhou family girl loves to eat, so your third brother racked his brains to get her good food. In comparison, your fourth brother is a bit more naive."
Daohua laughed and said, "How is my fourth brother so naive? Otherwise, how could Sister Su fall for his trick?"
Xiao Yeyang laughed: "Yes, yes, both of your brothers are amazing. Now that I think about it, your eldest brother is the truly honest one."
Daohua's face froze. It seemed that her elder brother was not very honest either. She remembered that she had seen her elder brother meeting the girl from Fuzi's family in Xingzhou.
Soon, the three of them arrived at the foot of the mountain.
Xiao Yeyang squatted down and put the rice flowers on the ground.
After Daohua stood firm, she hurried forward to wipe the sweat off his face and helped him tidy up his wrinkled clothes.
Xiao Yeyang stood quietly, smiling as he watched Daohua help him tidy up the crops.
In front of the carriage, Yan Wentao turned his head away with a wooden face as he looked at the two people surrounded by a sweet atmosphere.
After helping Xiao Yeyang clean up, Daohua noticed that Xiao Yeyang's lips were a little dry, so she said to Wang Maner, "There's some cold tea in the car, go get it quickly."
Wang Maner nodded, and soon came out with a pot of herbal tea.
Daohua took it and quickly poured a cup for Xiao Yeyang: "You've sweated so much, have a cup of herbal tea to quench your thirst."
Xiao Yeyang took the cup, and then passed it to Daohua's mouth: "I think you are thirsty too, you drink first."
Daohua smiled and said, "I'll go back to the carriage and drink later."
Xiao Yeyang was unmoved and still stubbornly held the cup and wanted to feed Daohua the herbal tea.
When Daohua saw this, she felt helpless and lowered her head to drink from the cup.
After finishing his drink, Xiao Yeyang handed the cup to Wang Maner, motioning her to fill it up, then looked at Daohua: "Do you want more?"
Daohua shook her head: "No need."
Xiao Yeyang took the cup and drank several cups of herbal tea in succession.
Seeing that the two of them were using the same cup, Yan Wentao finally couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Okay, it's time to go. Daohua, get in the carriage quickly."
Rice Flower: "Okay."
Although he agreed promptly, he still waited until Xiao Yeyang stopped to drink water before turning around and walking towards the carriage.
When Yan Wentao saw this, he looked up at the sky.
Afterwards, Daohua got on the carriage. Seeing Xiao Yeyang was about to get on, Yan Wentao immediately asked, "Aren't you riding a horse?"
Xiao Yeyang pointed at the scorching sun in the sky and said, "It's so hot, why ride a horse?"
At this time, Daohua also lifted the carriage curtain and said to Yan Wentao: "Yes, Third Brother, you should get in the carriage too."
Seeing Xiao Yeyang get into the carriage swiftly, Yan Wentao endured it, dismounted, and got into the carriage.
Seeing that everyone had come up, Daohua smiled and said, "Okay, you can go back now."
On the way back, the carriage was surprisingly quiet. Daohua looked at her third brother and Xiao Yeyang who had been staring at each other all the way without blinking, and couldn't help but move to the corner, trying to reduce her presence.
When they were almost at the city gate, Xiao Yeyang spoke first, looking at Daohua and said, "I won't be going to your house for dinner today."
Daohua was puzzled: "Why? It's already noon."
Xiao Yeyang: "I have a few important things to deal with."
Daohua was silent for a moment: "Okay, but remember to eat lunch and don't go hungry like you did that day."
Xiao Yeyang smiled and nodded.
Before entering the city gate, Xiao Yeyang got off the carriage.
After he got off, Daohua quickly lifted the carriage curtain and reminded him, "Remember, the day after tomorrow, take time out to go to Taohua Village with your third and fourth brothers."
Xiao Yeyang walked to the car window and asked, "What surprise do you have for us?"
Daohua smiled and said, "You'll know when you get there."
