Chapter 75 The Troubles of Happiness
The next day, before dawn, Ziyi and Du Qingcang had a full breakfast and began to pack the meat and tie it onto wheelbarrows. Each wheelbarrow carried more than 500 kilograms of meat, and the rest had to be put aside for the time being. Ziyi and Du Qingcang took some dry food, water, and some herbs for self-defense and prepared to set off. Li Haoran also set off because he had to escort them for a distance.
On the third day, the main reason was that this place was close to the inner circle, and with so much meat, and it was not yet dawn, they were afraid of encountering packs of wolves, tigers, blind bears, etc. like last time. Ziyi could not deal with them alone, and Du Qingcang had no martial arts, so it was difficult for him to protect himself, let alone help Ziyi. So for safety, Li Haoran had to go this way, and then return after dawn when they were far away from the inner circle. Even if Li Haoran encounters a wolf, tiger or blind bear when he returns, he can still run away if he cannot defeat them. There is no need to worry about Li Haoran returning alone.
Before leaving, Ziyi repeatedly reminded Yike to be a good boy at home and not to run around, etc. Yike obediently nodded again and again. He smiled and waved goodbye to Ziyi and the others. As soon as they left, Yike said to his mother:
"Mom, I'm going to sleep for a while. Don't wake me up when it's daybreak. I want to catch up on my sleep."
"Okay! Go to bed, I'll call you at noon." If Zhang Yuling knew that she would see an empty bed at noon, would she regret agreeing to let Yi Ke go to bed? She would definitely pull Yi Ke to do things and not let her out of her sight. However, no one in the world knew this earlier.
Yike returned to his room and closed the door, but quietly left a gap through which he secretly watched what was happening outside.
hehe! Our one has to do something!
Yike dragged out his special backpack from under the bed, which contained dry food, herbs, and the special knife. Last night, Yi Ke was serious about following Zi Yi out of the mountains. Although Li Haoran disagreed, he didn't think about who Yi Ke was. That person has a soul that is several dozen years old. Can he still be so obedient? The answer is no. Yi Ke decided to sneak out by himself. When they were discussing things last night, she prepared the things she needed and wrote a farewell letter, saying that she was going to go out with Ziyi to see the world and that she would be careful about safety. The letter was now on the table in front of the bed, waiting for her mother Zhang Yuling to find it at noon.
She was looking out through the crack in the door at this time and found that her mother and godmother had entered the kitchen, and her stepbrother had returned to his room early. There was no one outside, so it was a good time to sneak out.
Yike ran towards the tunnel quickly and quietly, opened the door, and quickly dived into the woods, chasing in the direction Ziyi left with a flashlight.
Yike's flashlight was modified by herself. She used a cloth strip to fix the flashlight on her head, just like the headlamp in her previous life. This was what she thought of when she wanted to sneak away last night.
Although Ziyi and his crew set out early, their speed was limited at night, so Yike caught up with them in no time. But she did not show up, but continued to follow secretly from behind.
This place is not far from home, but she is afraid that Ziyi will carry her back by force. That stubborn guy might really do that. She would wait until Daddy Li Haoran was about to go back and then jump out to scare them. Just thinking about their surprised expressions when they suddenly saw her, she felt secretly happy.
In this way, three people walked in front and Yi Ke followed behind. The three people in front had no idea that there was a person hanging behind them.
The sky began to brighten, and early birds flew up from the woods and began to sing. The silent woods were filled with the sounds of birds, insects, the rustling of leaves in the wind, and the sound of one's own heavy breathing.
When the sun was caressing Miss Ye Zi openly, regardless of her green face from anger, Daddy Li Haoran and Ziyi and the others finally discovered Yi Ke following behind them.
At first, when they heard the sound of dead branches breaking behind them, they quickly put down their wheelbarrows, drew their knives, and looked as if they were facing a great enemy. But then they couldn't help laughing.
"Hi! Daddy, godfather, Ziyi, good morning!" Yike jumped out from behind the tree and greeted them with a smile. But she was very proud in her heart, because she had stepped on the dry branch on purpose to break it and make the noise, with the purpose of playing a prank on them and scaring them. It was their fault for not taking her with them. Haha, seeing them ready for a big fight, I feel a little excited.
"Yike, why is it you? Why did you follow us? Have you been following us all the way? Why don't you listen to us? What if something happens and we don't even know about it? Do you want us to be heartbroken?" Ziyi rushed over angrily and grabbed Yike, scanning his body and checking him thoroughly.
"I'm fine, I'm not hurt, don't look at me, I'm following you all the time, and I will call you if there is any danger." Yike hurriedly pressed down the pair of hands that were touching him randomly. Although he knew that he was checking whether he was injured, his father and godfather were still watching him, so embarrassing.
"Tell me, have you made up your mind last night?" Daddy Li Haoran had a dark face, looking like a storm was about to come.
"Oh! I say, you are really brave. You dare to walk alone in the dark. This is a forest, not a village outside. You will make people worry. You are too ignorant. If your mother and godmother find out that you are missing, what will you let them do? You are really wrong this time. Godfather will also criticize you."
“What if your mother and the others come out to look for you, but you are powerless and encounter danger? You can’t just think that you are invincible just because you have kung fu. You are no longer alone now. You still have so many relatives like us. If something happens to you, we will all be sad. You were used to being alone before, and you only had to take care of yourself, but it’s different now, so you have to think more before doing anything…” Daddy Li Haoran criticized and educated him, and his eyes were full of tears. He felt that he had really made a big mistake.
"Daddy, godfather, Ziyi, I was wrong. I won't do it again next time. I just couldn't bear to leave Ziyi. I didn't think so much. I left a letter for mom and told her that Ziyi and I were here." Yike honestly admitted her mistake and tried to get leniency from her father Li Haoran and not take her home, otherwise her escape would be in vain. In order to gain sympathy, he rubbed his eyes hard and forced a tear out.
"Yike, I don't want to leave you either, but I am a man and a man has to take the responsibility of supporting the family. I have to go out to buy and sell things. I want to give you a better life, and I don't want you to run around with me. You just need to wait for me at home. Mother may have noticed that you are gone. Now you and dad go back, and don't let mother come out to look for you. I will be back soon." Ziyi helped Yike wipe away his tears and advised him earnestly.
"I told Mom I was sleeping and asked her to wake me up at noon." Yi Ke said pitifully, "I'll tell Mom when Dad comes back."
"You are really smart. When your mother found out at noon, your father had already returned home. I really don't know what to say to you." Godfather Du Qingcang was amused. The little girl was really thoughtful.
"Forget it, it seems like you must go out, and I won't stop you. Let me make it clear first, it's not like home outside. When you go out, you have to listen to Ziyi and your godfather, and you can't be willful. If you don't agree, I will tie you up and take you back." Daddy Li Haoran finally agreed that Yi Ke should go with him.
"Daddy is so nice! You're the best daddy!" Yike happily hugged daddy's arm and rocked it.
"I have to go back right away, and get home before they realize Yi Ke is missing. You're really causing trouble." Daddy Li Haoran gave a few instructions and turned back.
"Hehe!" Yike smiled flatteringly at Ziyi who had a sullen face, "Brother Ziyi, I'll go ahead."
"Come back! Stay with me."
Yike stuck out her tongue and followed him obediently.
"Haha, Yike, you are the bravest and most capable girl I have ever met. However, there are some things you really need to think about more before sitting at the table, especially your family. Your family will be worried and anxious about you." Godfather Du Qingcang advised earnestly from behind.
"Thank you for the compliment, godfather. I am not that capable. It is our brother Ziyi who is capable. When brother Ziyi and I first met, he killed a tiger with just two sticks. That is real ability."
"Your brother Ziyi is also very capable. He is the most capable man I have ever added. Speaking of which, we were all surprised when you got married. You were so young, but you had such good taste. You won the best guy here in no time. Were you mesmerized by your brother Ziyi's heroic figure beating the tiger at first sight?"
"Godfather's guess is so accurate." Yi Ke said, but in his heart he was thinking, "At that time, he was not heroic at all. His hair was messy, his clothes were gray, and his appearance was really hard to describe. How could he be charming at first sight? He was just a robber, who was robbing a woman. But luckily he was robbed, otherwise he would have no idea that his husband from his previous life had traveled through time and space to his body."
Ziyi may have also recalled the first scene, and couldn't help but whispered to Yike: "I was fascinated by you from the beginning, and I knew at first sight that you were my wife."
"You are so shameless. How dare you say that?" Yike patted him on the back, and the happiness in her heart reached 100%.
"Hehehehe! Don't be shy to say that in front of your wife." Ziyi said, "The elders all say that you have to say sweet things to your wife, and she will feel loved."
"Where did you hear those old people's words? They're all nonsense, but I like them! You can learn more from them." Yi Ke said shamelessly. She felt happy when she thought of Ziyi saying sweet words to make her happy every day.
"Okay! I'll talk about this every day until we're old!" Ziyou said seriously.
Yike suddenly remembered that her husband in her previous life was the same, and he always found different ways to make her happy until he grew old. My heart feels both sweet and sour. The sweet thing is that Ziyi is still as good to her in this life, but the sour thing is that Ziyi has no memory of his previous life and cannot empathize with the love between the two lives.
well! This is another kind of happy trouble!
