Upon hearing this, Li Hanyang immediately tensed up, and he and Lin Qiong both stood there dumbfounded. Then, with some admiration, he said, "I didn't expect you to know so much."
Lin Qiong waved her hand, "It's just accumulating experience."
Li Hanyang looked nervously at the plump pheasant. "What should we do now?"
Lin Qiong: "Let it go first."
Li Hanyang said OK.
Ten minutes later...
Li Hanyang's legs were a little sore. "Why isn't it leaving yet?"
Lin Qiong thought for a moment, "This is probably its nest."
Li Hanyang was shocked. "This nest is too blatant. It's not like it was seen by natural enemies or humans, but rather that it's at the mercy of others."
Lin Qiong shook her head. "You don't understand."
Li Hanyang: ?
"The real hunter usually appears in the form of prey."
Li Hanyang, with a blank expression, said, "I see."
The two stood motionless for another five minutes. Li Hanyang asked, "Lin Qiong, what should we do now?"
Lin Qiong lowered her voice, "Leave quietly, without alerting him."
Li Hanyang: "No problem."
Then the two of them sneaked away like thieves.
After walking a distance, the two of them relaxed simultaneously.
Li Hanyang: "That was close, thank goodness you were there."
Lin Qiong replied, "Guest."
Then, looking at Li Hanyang, Lin Qiong asked as if she had thought of something: "I have never met Xingyun's mother."
The question came out of nowhere, and Li Hanyang was also taken aback for a moment before asking, "Didn't Xingyun tell you?"
Lin Qiong shook her head.
Li Hanyang was in a dilemma for a moment, after all, it was not appropriate for him to tell outsiders about his good brother's matter.
"You should ask Xingyun about that."
Lin Qiong thought back to the last time he had a fever and called for his mother, "Was it something that made him sad?"
Li Hanyang nodded. "I guess so."
Lin Qiong: "Then tell me about it."
Li Hanyang scratched his head, "How can I tell outsiders about my brother's affairs?"
Lin Qiong said sternly, "We're outsiders."
"No, no," Li Hanyang said, realizing he was tongue-tied. "I was afraid Xing Yunzhi would be unhappy."
Lin Qiong said earnestly, "Tell me, and I promise I won't tell anyone."
"real?"
"Really," Lin Qiong said. "There's no one else here besides you and me."
Li Hanyang conceded, "Alright."
"Actually, Xingyun's mother divorced Fu Changfeng and went abroad when he was in high school."
Lin Qiong asked curiously, "Why?"
Li Hanyang: "Do you know Fu Jinghong?"
"Know."
“Fu Changfeng brought this illegitimate child back when he was a freshman at Xingyun High School. His aunt married him despite being a step down from her position and helped him a lot in his career, but he was treated like this.”
Lin Qiong frowned, "Really a dog!"
“Who says otherwise!” Li Hanyang: “After Auntie found out, she divorced Fu Changfeng and went abroad. She wanted to take the two siblings with her, but neither of them went with their mother.”
Lin Qiong: Why?
Li Hanyang continued: "Shi Xingyun wanted to accumulate strength to take back everything from the Fu family in the future, and then bring his aunt back. But after learning that the siblings wouldn't stay with her, his aunt resolutely left."
He didn't even listen to explanations, and the misunderstanding remained unresolved; he hasn't come back all these years.
"Xingyun also searched for it but couldn't find it."
"and……"
"And what?"
"After the two divorced, Fu Changfeng brought his mistress back home, but he committed suicide less than two years later."
Lin Qiong was startled upon hearing this.
Li Hanyang continued, "We were in our senior year of high school at the time, and Xingyun was the first to discover it."
But Fu Jinghong insisted, "His mother was killed by Xingyun."
Lin Qiong was somewhat angry upon hearing this. "What makes him say that? Does he have any evidence?"
Li Hanyang looked grim. "He said the last person his mother saw after her suicide was Xingyun, so he always believed that Xingyun was the one who killed her."
Lin Qiong felt sorry for Fu Xingyun, who had to deal with such a difficult situation during the intense college entrance examination period.
After Li Hanyang finished speaking, he looked around a few times, then whispered to Lin Qiong, "I've told you everything, so don't betray me."
Lin Qiong patted her chest and said, "No, don't worry. Thank you for telling me."
Li Hanyang scratched his head and smiled: "Actually, it's nothing. Just be good to Xingyun in the future."
The two returned to their campsite, where the others were playing cards out of boredom.
When Ji Yao saw the two return, he quickly waved his hand and said, "Come on over."
Lin Qiong and Li Hanyang went up and asked, "Are you playing cards?"
Ji Yao: "That's right, we're just missing you guys to play Dou Dizhu."
Lin Qiong glanced at the people around her. "Isn't Dou Dizhu a game for three people?"
"yes."
"It seems like we're not the only ones they need."
Ji Yao stretched out a hand and gestured, "Ran Que."
Then he pointed to those people, "They've all stopped playing."
Lin Qiong asked in confusion, "Why?"
Ji Yao smiled confidently, "They've already lost enough."
"..."
An ordinary but skilled player.
Then Ji Yao began shuffling the cards, saying, "You two sit down, it's your turn."
Lin Qiong looked around. "Where's Xingyun?"
"Back in the tent."
“Then I’ll bring him out to look at the cards.”
King Ji Yao dismissed it with disdain, saying, "Whatever!"
Lin Qiong got up and hurried off to find someone, "Xingyun."
Fu Xingyun, who was reading a book, looked up and said, "You're back."
"Hmm," Lin Qiong looked at the person and asked, "Aren't you bored?"
"fine."
"Aren't you going to look at my cards?" she said, raising a hand. "I'm really good at it."
Fu Xingyun: ...
"Now?"
Lin Qiong nodded, then went to help the person get up. "Let's go."
After the two arrived, the poker game officially began.
Ji Yao and Li Hanyang are not short of money, and Lin Qiong is a model of discipline who does not gamble. Naturally, those who lose at cards will receive some other punishment.
Ji Yao thought for a moment, "How about we go all out?"
Lin Qiong and Li Hanyang were momentarily nervous, "How do you plan to play this game?"
"They lost, so the peasants hugged the landlord and did twenty squats."
Li Hanyang was taken aback. "Then I'm at a significant advantage."
The tallest among them is Li Hanyang, who is over 1.9 meters tall.
Ji Yao glanced at him and asked, "Do you have the chance to become a landlord?"
Li Hanyang's face darkened. "You look down on me?!"
Ji Yao: "That's right."
Li Hanyang took the opportunity to turn his head and pull Lin Qiong in, "Let's take her down together."
"That's not gentlemanly at all, and..."
Li Hanyang asked in confusion, "And what?"
Lin Qiong lowered her head shyly, "I have the opportunity to be a landlord."
"..."
Because she had spread a blanket and sat directly on the ground, Lin Qiong naturally leaned back against Fu Xingyun's legs after picking up the dealt cards.
Then he held up the cards in his hand and shook them, asking, "Do you think you have a good hand?"
Fu Xingyun: "So-so."
Li Hanyang exclaimed, "Why did you hire outside help?!"
Lin Qiong raised an eyebrow at him, "You can too."
Li Hanyang glanced at the group of people who had just lost so much they were questioning their existence, and said coldly, "They don't deserve it."
"..."
Are you polite?
Li Hanyang nudged Ji Yao next to him, "Lin Qiong has outside help."
Ji Yao, with the air of an invincible general, said, "They're all trash in my sister's eyes."
Li Hanyang: ...
Ji Yao looked at Lin Qionggu and said, "Besides, Xingyun doesn't know how to play cards either."
Lin Qiong glanced at Fu Xingyun silently, then said ingratiatingly to Baba, "It's okay, I believe you."
However, Fu Xingyun then said that if Lin Qiong's hand was bad, he would call for the landlord position; if his hand was good, he wouldn't call.
This perfectly illustrates the saying "no" with actions.
In the end, Lin Qiong and Li Hanyang lost so much that they questioned their existence. After another victory as the landlord, Lin Qiong scattered her cards, looking like she had just escaped a disaster, saying, "Luckily, I didn't gamble."
Fu Xingyun: ...
Afterwards, Lin Qiong carried Ji Yao and did twenty squats, then, with trembling legs, pushed Fu Xingyun back to the tent.
Lin Qiong was resting on her sleeping bag when she turned her head and saw Fu Xingyun with a smug face.
Lin Qiong quickly stood up and asked, "What's wrong?"
Fu Xingyun turned his head away, his voice cold, "Nothing?"
"Are you unhappy?"
"No."
"Liar" Lin Qiong: "Why are you unhappy?"
Seeing that the person didn't speak, Lin Qiong had no choice but to guess and tentatively asked, "Because I didn't believe you just now?"
Fu Xingyun remained silent.
Lin Qiong leaned closer, her small mouth starting to chatter, "I was afraid you'd be unhappy if I lost and I had to hug someone, so I was a little conflicted when Ji Yao said you don't know how to play cards."
But in the end, he lost the game, had to squat down, and was unhappy.
Fu Xingyun raised an eyebrow, "You trust Ji Yao a lot?"
Lin Qiong nodded, but couldn't help adding, "But of course, I can't compare to you."
Seeing that the person was silent, Lin Qiong asked, "Why aren't you saying anything?"
Fu Xingyun: "It's nothing."
Lin Qiong looked at them with a grin, "Don't be upset, let's lie down together for a while, let's rest first, we still have to watch shooting stars tonight."
Then Lin Qiong pulled the person to lie down, and this lasted all afternoon. After resting for a while, Lin Qiong took out her phone and searched online for "massage techniques for rehabilitation personnel".
He then went online and bought a set of books on health and acupoints. He glanced at Fu Xingyun, who was closing his eyes.
Lin Qiong first tried the techniques she found online on her own legs and felt no discomfort before gently approaching Fu Xingyun.
"Xingyun?"
The man remained silent.
"Xingyun, are you asleep?"
Seeing that the man showed no signs of waking up, Lin Qiong became even bolder.
Lin Qiong reached out to touch one of Fu Xingyun's calves, but he was stunned when he touched it.
The man's legs were not as strong as his upper body; in fact, the muscles had begun to atrophy due to prolonged inability to walk.
Lin Qiong pursed her lips slightly, feeling a strange mix of emotions, as if there was a bitter taste in her throat.
But Lin Qiong still gently pressed on the person's calf using the technique she had just learned, because she was not a professional and was afraid of hurting the person.
Fu Xingyun didn't know what Lin Qiong was doing, but he didn't respond when someone called him, because he wanted to know what Lin Qiong did after confirming that he was asleep.
Then Fu Xingyun slightly raised his head and saw Lin Qiong massaging his legs with her head down. He couldn't feel it, but his heart trembled.
For as long as Lin Qiong pressed, Fu Xingyun lay there for the same amount of time.
After dark, Lin Qiong excitedly pushed the child outside to watch the shooting stars. "Xingyun, when do you think the shooting stars will come?"
"I don't know."
"Then let's wait outside."
Soon after, almost everyone who had come to camp on the mountain came out of their tents, ready to watch for shooting stars.
Lin Qiong rubbed her hands excitedly, "Xingyun, have you thought about your wish?"
"I don't believe in those things."
Lin Qiong nodded, but still enthusiastically promoted the idea, saying, "What if it actually comes true?"
However, they waited all night until nearly midnight when a star streaked across the sky.
Upon seeing this, Lin Qiong quickly closed her eyes and made a wish.
"I wish I could become rich overnight!"
I hope that I will always be loved!
"I hope my future holds hope!"
Lin Qiong, who had been making a wish with her eyes closed, was dumbfounded. Has the way of making a wish changed now?
"I hope to get a promotion and a raise!"
"I hope..."
Watching others say these things, Lin Qiong was also somewhat tempted. "Xingyun, do you think if you shout out your wish like that, it will come true?"
Fu Xingyun raised an eyebrow. "You can give it a try."
"I hope!" Lin Qiong took a deep breath, then looked up at the starry sky and shouted with all her might, "Fu Xingyun's leg will get better!!!"
