This time it was Xu Xingchen's turn to be angry, "He won't die." Not only did he not get a word of thanks for saving someone, but he was criticized as soon as he opened his mouth. No one would be happy.
Zhang Xiaochun stamped his feet and said angrily: "Can't you just speak properly? People are just concerned about you."
Xu Xingchen replied with a forced smile, "Thank you, I'm fine. I just scratched my arm and it hurts. Is that okay?"
"Forget it! You won't die like this."
Zhang Xiaochun was dissatisfied with her concern for being criticized. He picked up the bamboo basket she had dropped on the side, put it on his back, turned around and said, "Let's go. My house is nearby. Let's go to my house to bandage it first."
"No, I'll make it myself when I get home." Xu Xingchen refused with a fierce face.
Just kidding, going to her house will only make her injuries worse.
Zhang Xiaochun's kindness was rejected, and she was very dissatisfied. Xu Xingchen saved her life, and she rarely thought that she was a good person, but this person didn't appreciate it.
Well, well, Zhang Xiaochun is not the kind of person who would flatter someone if she doesn’t like you.
"Forget it."
The two separated at the foot of the mountain and went back to their homes.
After returning home, Xu Xingchen took out disinfectant and treated his wound. Fortunately, the trap only scratched his wound and did not pierce his flesh.
"Ding—your Mundun is back."
The light brain beside her ear suddenly prompted a prompt, and Xu Xingchen's face lit up with joy. Her son was finally back. She hadn't seen him for several days and she really missed him.
“Squeak—”
The door was pushed open, and Munduner came in against the light, wearing a fisherman's hat and Travel Frog's exclusive overalls, with one hand in his pocket and the other holding the brim of his hat.
Xu Xingchen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This was the first time she "welcomed" Munduner back home. Was her son always so childish?
She took two or three steps forward, pulled him into her arms, and rubbed her cheek against him, causing his little face to twist.
"Hate, hate."
"Okay, now you think your mother is annoying and you need to be punished." After saying that, she tickled his waist.
Munduner struggled with a smile, "Mother, I was wrong, I was wrong."
The little guy struggled violently and kicked Xu Xingchen's injured arm, "hiss——"
He stopped immediately, his face panicked, and his chubby hands were about to touch Xu Xingchen's face, "Mom, does it hurt?"
"It's okay, just a minor injury."
Hearing her words while trying to suppress the pain, Munduner struggled to get off the ground and ran out.
Xu Xingchen chased after him, "Munduner!"
It turned out that Mundun'er's small backpack was in the yard. He came back and found Xu Xingchen there. In order to look cool, he left the heavy backpack in the yard.
Munduner picked up his backpack and prepared to go back. The bamboo house behind him opened and he jumped up and shouted, "Daddy."
The person who came out was a beggar. He was wearing Jun Haoyue's clothes, and his face was wrapped in layers of bandages. Munduner stopped in his tracks, turned around and screamed as he ran, "Mother! Mummy!"
Xu Xingchen chased after her, and Menduner ran behind her. The three of them looked at each other in surprise.
To be precise, there were two people, and the beggar couldn't see Munduner.
Xu Xingchen didn't know what to say, and neither did the beggar. But when he saw the gauze on Xu Xingchen's arm oozing with blood, he was stunned. He, who had never spoken before, actually spoke.
"You...are hurt." His voice was hoarse.
Xu Xingchen was also stunned. It turned out that he was not mute.
She covered her arm and smiled nonchalantly: "I accidentally scratched it, it's a minor injury."
The beggar took two steps forward and said, "You, one hand is inconvenient, let me help you."
Xu Xingchen took two steps back and shook his head to decline: "No, I've already applied the medicine."
After she finished speaking, she felt that she was being a little ungrateful, so she softened her tone and said, "It's okay, it will be fine soon. But for you, the wind outside is not good for your wound."
The beggar had no choice but to nod and return to the bamboo house. Xu Xingchen also returned to the house with Munduner.
Inside the house, Menduner put his backpack on the table, half of his body squeezed in, and showed the things he brought back to Xu Xingchen.
"Hey, your Munduner brought back nutrient solution x5."
"Ding, your Munduner brought back four-leaf clovers x7."
"Ding, bring your Mundun back..."
Since it was data, every time Menduner took out one, the light computer next to Xu Xingchen's ear would sound a reminder.
“…Bring back the Peacock Spirit.”
She listened to the system voice and saw the system backpack panel in front of her. She watched the corresponding number of items increase and silently calculated their routes. The reminder from the Peacock Spirit made her fingers pause.
Scroll to the bottom of the backpack page, find the blue-purple feather icon, and click on the properties: Peacock Spirit, the peacock's feathers have the function of beauty and repair.
Xu Xingchen was overjoyed, what a great thing.
Her son is awesome!
......
In the evening, Jun Haoyue came back from town. Munduner went out to greet him early as if he had seen his own father. He carried Munduner into the house, put the box on the table, and listened to the empty sound.
Xu Xingchen finished cooking and brought out the meal, greeting them like an old married couple, "Are you back? How are your paintings and calligraphy sales?"
Hearing her question, Jun Haoyue's eyes softened, and he felt like he had a wife and children and a warm bed.
"Not bad. The calligraphy and painting workshop has received several pieces and said they are waiting to be sold at 40% to 60%."
"46? You're not the one who negotiates the price. It should be 37." Xu Xingchen's abacus was clicking in his mind.
After she finished the calculation, she secretly spat, thinking that the owner of this calligraphy and painting studio was too evil.
Jun Haoyue smiled and shook his head. "It's good enough if it can be sold." Xu Xingchen sat down across from him. "That's different. That was made by you. No, I'll go to the calligraphy and painting workshop tomorrow to discuss it."
The hand she was setting the dishes on was covered by a large, white hand. She looked in the direction of the hand in a daze. Jun Haoyue's eyes were full of stars. "Let's sell it first, okay?"
Mundun'er covered his eyes and muttered, "Shame on you, shame on you."
The child's voice woke Xu Xingchen up. She withdrew her hand awkwardly, feeling very uncomfortable. "You...you go call the people in the bamboo house..."
The beggar who had been acting as a light bulb at the door for a while coughed lightly to make himself known, "Ahem."
I don’t know how long the beggar stood at the door, and Xu Xingchen felt even more embarrassed.
The beggar wanted to take the food back to the bamboo house to eat, but Xu Xingchen stopped him and said, "Wait, sit down and eat together."
After a moment's hesitation, the beggar sat down at the table upright, ate his food slowly and carefully, and was very careful to only pick up the dishes in front of him without poking around. His behavior did not seem like that of a rural person.
Xu Xingchen and Jun Haoyue exchanged a subtle glance. After a moment's thought, she took the initiative to speak, "I wonder how the food is and whether it suits your taste."
The beggar swallowed the food in his mouth and replied, "Thank you, young lady. It suits my taste very well."
Jun Haoyue was surprised that this person could speak.
Seeing his silly look of surprise, Xu Xingchen, as someone who had experienced it before, gave him a sympathetic look and continued, "Then can you tell us your name? You can't just call us beggars."
When his name was mentioned, the beggar remained silent, silently expressing his refusal to answer.
Xu Xingchen sighed secretly, it seemed that he had not completely let down his guard.
Munduner was sitting on Xu Xingchen's left side, moving around mischievously and bumping her head on her injured arm.
