Chapter 56: A Tryst in the Woods



Xu Zhiyi went to the mountain and picked all the loquats that had not been picked yesterday.

Thinking it was about time, I walked towards the village chief's house.

Later, I found that Pei Yan and Fang Hai were both there.

"Xu Zhiqing is here, come in quickly!" Aunt Wang was about to go to her private plot to pick some vegetables when she saw Xu Zhiyi.

"Aunt Wang, this is some fruit I picked from the mountains. It's quite sweet. Take some and try it."

Aunt Wang took the basket from Xu Zhiyi and led her into the main room.

Pei Yan and Fang Hai have already arrived and are chatting with the village chief.

"Xu Zhiqing is here, come in and sit down. Thank you so much for saving my Huzi this time. If it weren't for you, I don't know how much more suffering Huzi would have suffered."

No matter how serious a person is in public, he will be friendly and grateful to the benefactor who saved his grandson.

The same was true for Aunt Wang. She had always had a good impression of this well-mannered educated youth, and now she treated him like her own junior.

The kidnapping of Hu Zi is somewhat related to her.

But she has already dealt with those two people, and probably no one will bother her again because of this matter.

Xu Zhiyi never knew how to deal with this kind of situation.

"Auntie, where is Hu Zi? How has he been these past two days?" Pei Yan suddenly spoke, attracting the attention of the two village chiefs, and finally rescuing Xu Zhiyi.

"He's still sleeping in the house right now, but he looks a little listless. The doctor said he's fine."

"Uncle, you don't know, I heard from the young policeman at the police station that Xu Zhiqing is very powerful. He kicked the human trafficker who was as strong as a bear away with one kick.

Neither of the two traffickers was a match for her. One of them even broke several ribs with a kick.”

The talkative Fang Hai decided to let them hear about Xu Zhiqing's heroic deeds as well, so that he wouldn't be the only one who was surprised.

"Oh my goodness, Xu Zhiqing also knows Kung Fu!"

"When I was little, I was in poor health, so I learned a few moves from my uncle who was a soldier to strengthen my body. This time, they came in handy."

"That's really amazing."

Xu Zhiyi just smiled, Fang Hai believed it, and Pei Yan just looked at her quietly.

"Grandma~" Hu Zi walked out, rubbing his eyes, still sleepy.

"Hey~ Grandma's eldest grandson." When Aunt Wang saw her eldest grandson coming out, she hurried out and hugged him.

"Huzi, look who this is?"

Hu Zi hadn't woken up yet when he saw many people in the room. He hugged his grandmother's thighs and hid shyly behind her.

Then he cautiously popped his head out and secretly glanced at Xu Zhiyi.

"Hu Zi, come out quickly. Xu Zhiqing saved you. Come and thank your aunt." Aunt Wang wanted to pull Hu Zi off her thigh.

"Thank you, Auntie~"

After saying this, the shy Hu Zi hugged his grandmother's thigh and refused to let go.

Aunt Wang was helpless and felt sorry for her grandson suffering so she would not use too much force.

"Mom and Dad, the meal is ready. I've brought it up and we're ready to eat." Fang Xiu saw her son hiding behind her mother-in-law and knew he was shy.

"Okay, come on."

Fang Xiu is a good cook and prepared a table full of dishes. It was obvious that the village chief’s family was entertaining them with all their heart.

The village chief also took out the wine he had collected for a long time, but Pei Yan and Fang Hai didn't know how to drink it, so they had to let their son drink a few glasses with him.

Yang Jianjun expressed his deep gratitude to Xu Zhiyi, and Xu Zhiyi reciprocated with water instead of wine.

With the chatterbox Fang Hai keeping the atmosphere lively, the dinner table was never dull.

Hu Zi was held by Aunt Wang and sat next to Xu Zhiyi.

While eating, she often stole glances at Xu Zhiyi. When Xu Zhiyi caught her, she buried her little face in the bowl, as if she couldn't see him.

This made everyone at the dinner table laugh.

After eating and drinking, Xu Zhiyi refused the food prepared by Aunt Wang and asked her to leave it for Hu Zi.

Pei Yan would definitely not accept it. The village chief's family has always taken care of Grandma Dong, and Pei Yan is just returning the favor.

Seeing that both of them refused, Fang Hai felt embarrassed to accept it. Aunt Wang's tough attitude scared him so much that he ran away without a trace.

Xu Zhiyi followed suit and left after hurriedly greeting everyone.

Pei Yan, who was a step slower, was stopped by Aunt Wang, who talked to him for a long time before letting him go.

When he came out, Xu Zhiyi had already walked a long way away.

Since they were still in the village, he couldn't call her, so he could only walk slowly in the same direction as her.

Gradually they came to a deserted road, and Pei Yan quickened his pace.

He saw Xu Zhiyi walking slowly, and he walked quickly to her side.

"I sold the tiger in the cave. Here's half the money. I'm giving it to you."

"I don't want it! It was originally a gift for you, just keep it."

"Then leave it with me first. If you need money, just tell me."

"Then you can keep it. I don't need money right now."

The two of them walked slowly towards the educated youth point as if taking a leisurely stroll.

When passing by a small forest, Xu Zhiyi suddenly heard a burst of intermittent talking.

The sparse sounds were particularly obvious at night.

Xu Zhiyi raised a finger to her lips, signaling Pei Yan not to speak.

"Um...Brother Huaijin, is your father's illness still not healed?"

"Yes, my mother wrote to me saying that they found a ginseng there, but the price is a bit high. I'm still trying to find a way to raise the money."

Fu Huaijin looked anxious, but his heart was calm.

He had recently heard some rumors in the village, and had also seen Song Lan go to the county several times.

I couldn't help but have some thoughts in my mind.

Song Lan didn't have time to think about it. She was upset for a long time because she didn't find ginseng last time. This time she must help Brother Huai Jin.

"Brother Huaijin, I have a hundred yuan here. Take it and buy medicine for your uncle. Don't delay."

Fu Huaijin really misjudged her. He didn't expect that Song Lan, a country girl, would casually take out such a large sum of money.

His face showed an expression of emotion, but he said the words of refusal, "No, Lanmei, I can't take your money. Your family will definitely not agree."

"Brother Huaijin, take this. This is my own money. My family has no right to interfere. Use it to buy medicine for your uncle. Saving lives is the most important thing."

"Thank you, Lanmei." Fu Huaijin affectionately grabbed Song Lan's hands and placed them on his chest.

"You are such a kind girl. I will definitely tell my parents in my heart that I met a good girl here."

Song Lan's hand was held by her beloved, and the sweetness in her heart instantly overwhelmed the pain of giving away the money.

"Brother Huaijin, I'm not as good as you say." Song Lan blushed and lowered her head slightly, revealing her fair neck.

Fu Huaijin's Adam's apple moved up and down, and the night obscured the depth in his eyes.

The two people who were so affectionate with each other didn't notice at all that there were two spectators not far away.

Xu Zhiyi pulled Pei Yan, afraid that they would see some eye-catching animated graphics behind them, and the two of them walked away quietly.

The two people in the grove were still talking to each other.

Song Lan, who has a thick filter, can't resist Fu Huaijin's sweet words at all.

Love was strong until a switch was turned on...
