Chapter 223: Like a Last Meal



In the next few days, Su Li lived in the small courtyard, boiling medicine during the day and helping Li Yu to apply medicine. In his spare time, he wandered around in the mountains to familiarize himself with the various terrains and routes in the mountains.

It was not until seven days later that Li Yuzhi's injuries were basically healed and there was no need to boil medicine anymore, so Su Li moved back to her own residence.

The weather in December is still cold, but fortunately it rarely snows here. Since the beginning of winter, there has only been a small snowfall.

At this time, there were no fruits in the forest, and there were no fruits to pick. After dinner, Su Li and A Xiu strolled down the mountain.

At this time, several large carts were pulling goods up the mountain.

Ah Xiu said in surprise: "Sister Mo, look!"

"It's just a big cart, what's wrong?"

"The car must be filled with New Year's goods!"

"New Year's goods?"

Su Li was stunned. Yes, it was already the end of December and the Chinese New Year was coming soon.

"Yes, every New Year, Manager Li would have people buy a lot of New Year's goods to decorate the mountain to make it festive and lively."

"Manager Li?"

"Yes, it's Manager Li. He's very good..."

Is it good?

I just don’t know if he knows that King Ning will eventually kill all the slaves and cooks here?

The next day, after noon, Aunt Sang received a notice to go to the mountain to pick up some New Year's goods, and A Xiu happily followed her.

In the afternoon, Ying'er was called away by Zhao Cai, while Su Li and Shisan were working in the kitchen.

But after a while, Ah Xiu's joyful voice was heard outside: "Sister Mo, Sister Thirteen, come and see!"

Su Li and Shisan went out to greet them upon hearing this, only to see Aunt Sang and A Xiu holding a large basket of red items.

Ah Xiu put the basket on the ground and began to carefully look through the things inside, her eyes full of joy: "There are so many things this year, Sister Mo, look, there are red silks, lanterns, spring couplets, and New Year pictures!"

"Hmm? Did you get the New Year's goods?"

At this time, Ying'er also came back. Seeing the large basket of New Year's goods, she was also a little surprised: "Why are there so many this year?"

Su Li looked at Ying'er and asked, "What happened in previous years?"

"In previous years, there were only Spring Festival couplets and some festive red silk, but this year there are lanterns and New Year pictures. There are so many large lanterns. They must have cost a lot of money, right?"

Ah Xiu was in high spirits: "Not only that, but Manager Zhang, who's distributing the New Year's goods, said that there will be a lot more delicious food later, even more than last year!"

"Really?" Ying'er also looked happy, "That would be great!"

Even Thirteen, who was always silent and expressionless, had a look of joy on his face.

Su Li was also happy, but she was the only one who knew that her smile was not genuine. She always felt that this so-called rich New Year's goods were like a meal before execution...

Aunt Sang was also happy in her heart, but she still reminded him, "Okay, go cook first. We can hang up the things that need to be hung and put up the things that need to be put up tomorrow."

New Year's Eve is in two days, and the mountains will be bustling with activity.

Ah Xiu said with a smile: "I'll listen to Aunt Sang! I'll put the things away right away!"

It was getting late, so they didn't waste any time and started to divide the work of cooking.

"Mo Qingcheng!"

Behind the kitchen, Su Li was fetching water to wash vegetables when Li Yuzhi suddenly came to her.

"Manager Li?" She couldn't help but wonder. She hadn't seen him for more than half a month since she recovered from her injury. Why did he suddenly come to see her now?

Li Yuzhi tilted his head to look at Su Li's face. Seeing that her face was still smeared with the herbal juice, he couldn't help but frown. This mark hasn't disappeared yet?

He held out his hand: "This is for you."

I saw a box with exquisite appearance lying in his hand.

"What is it?"

"Blemish removal cream, apply it on your face to remove scars. I heard it's very effective."

"Um?"

"Hurry and take it. Don't think too much about it. This is just a reward to thank you for making and applying the medicine for me."

Su Li was a little surprised. Did he buy her a scar removal cream?

She took the thing and said, "Thank you very much, hehe..."

"Don't thank me. I told you this is your reward. Okay, go back to work. I'm leaving now."

After saying that, he turned around and left without waiting for Su Li to answer.

Su Li shrugged, put the scar removal cream away, and continued to work.
