Isn’t It Because Of Reckless Courage Fueled By Lust?
Lu Cijian shook his head, only saying, “Someone needs to be watching here.”
And he was used to living alone, not very fond of living with so many people.
Old Man Liu, though regretful, didn’t press the matter, only smiling and saying, “Then let’s have dinner together tonight.”
He saw that the small wooden house didn’t even have a pot, this young man must have been roasting game to satisfy his hunger every day.
Though he wouldn’t starve, it was no comparison to the fragrant meals in the small low-lying land.
Gousheng also quickly smiled and said, “Yes, Big Brother Lu, come back to eat with us. My mother and aunt’s cooking is delicious, you’ll know if you try it.”
Saying this, he acted familiar and reached out to pull him.
Today he saw the other party’s excellent skill with the bow and arrow, he was so envious.
Although Sister Yimian taught him a few moves of capturing people’s techniques, which were very powerful, he was still more interested in bows and arrows. He could hit people from afar, how amazing!
Perhaps the other person would die without knowing what happened. He liked this kind of mysterious hero the most.
Seeing that he couldn’t refuse, Lu Cijian hesitantly nodded, “I’ll get some things.”
After speaking, he entered the small wooden house.
When he came out, he was holding a fat rabbit and a wild chicken.
When the group returned to the small low-lying land, it was already dark.
Several women were standing in Old Man Liu’s courtyard looking around at this time. Seeing that everyone had returned safely, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao Xing’er looked behind the group, seeing that Liu Dafei and the others were not in sight, she felt relieved, only smiling and saying, “You’re finally back.”
At that time, Yimian came back and called Zhao Dashu and the others, saying that they were going to dig traps. They didn’t have time to ask clearly before the people disappeared.
Although she knew that they would be fine, she was still very worried, fearing that the two brothers would also come back.
Liu Dafei’s two brothers were not easy to deal with, if they really brought them back, the small low-lying land would not be at peace.
Wang Fengqin and the two children saw Jiang Yimian come back and quickly greeted her. Their sight paused on Lu Cijian for a moment, only smiling and nodding.
In the afternoon, she only took a distant look. Now she discovered that the young man was very handsome, with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, and a handsome appearance.
Xiaoye, however, frowned at Lu Cijian, feeling that the figure looked familiar. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly exclaimed, “I remember, you are the one who sent my sister home that night!”
Everyone was startled, all looking at Jiang Yimian and Lu Cijian.
Gossiping eyes wandered over them, especially seeing their matching appearances, only feeling somewhat pleasing to the eye.
The fervent gazes made Jiang Yimian feel uncomfortable. She coughed lightly, hesitating how to explain, when she heard Lu Cijian calmly say, “An accidental encounter. It was unsafe in the woods at night, so I gave Jiang Girl a ride.”
Everyone then nodded, withdrawing their gossiping gazes.
Jiang Yimian whispered, “Was that an accidental encounter? Wasn’t it because of reckless boldness?”
Lu Cijian’s face turned red instantly, immediately lowering his head and not daring to speak again.
Fortunately, no one else heard that.
Old Man Liu introduced Lu Cijian to everyone, then invited everyone to stay and eat.
The meals were prepared early, but they didn’t know when they would return, so they didn’t hurry to cook them.
Seeing this, several women quickly went into the kitchen to help.
In a short while, various aromas came from the kitchen, especially the strong meat aroma, making people drool.
Several children sat in the courtyard, looking forward to it, staring longingly at the kitchen, waiting for dinner.
Gousheng was beside Lu Cijian watching him tease Mimi, becoming more and more surprised.
Mimi, who bared its fangs and claws at the sight of him, was surprisingly docile with Lu Cijian, just like with Sister Yimian. Whatever Sister Yimian asked Mimi to do, Mimi would do it, not at all ferocious.
He felt a little wronged, “Why is this cat fierce to me, and it’s so obedient the first time you came?”
Lu Cijian rubbed Mimi’s head before saying, “I delivered Mimi.”
Gousheng’s eyes widened in disbelief, “You can deliver cats?”
Jiang Yimian also looked at him, surprise flashing across her eyes.
Others didn’t know, but she did.
Mimi wasn’t a cat, it was a genuine little tiger.
The man before them could actually escape from a tiger’s clutches, truly amazing.
Lu Cijian simply explained, “Mimi’s mother was dying at the time, I just tried, and unexpectedly, it survived.”
He encountered an injured tiger in the woods, and to save his life, he killed the tiger, but later discovered that the tiger was pregnant.
He tentatively dug open the tiger’s belly, and found the little tiger was still alive.
Whether it was filial piety or something else, Mimi followed him, until it accidentally fell into a trap and was rescued by Jiang Yimian.
Gousheng felt much better, nodding repeatedly, “No wonder.”
After speaking, his gaze fell on Lu Cijian’s already scabbed wound, curiously asking, “Big Brother Lu, what happened to the wound on your neck, did Mimi scratch it? This little fellow is quite strong.”
It actually scratched such a long wound.
Jiang Yimian was startled, feeling a little uncomfortable, and glared at Lu Cijian unkindly.
Didn’t this guy know how to wear clothes that could cover his wounds?
Now it’s all good, everyone is asking.
Why didn’t she just kill him then.
Being glared at, Lu Cijian felt a little innocent, looking at the puffed-up little face, he just shook his head with a smile.
Gousheng didn’t ask anymore, carefully rubbing Mimi’s head again, and sure enough, he received a fierce cold glare, so wronged that he ran away directly.
This cat is really fierce, thankfully it didn’t scratch him.
Seeing Gousheng leave, Zhao Dashu and Old Man Liu were talking, several children were by the rabbit pen, Jiang Yimian walked over, crouched down, and ruffled Mimi’s head before saying, “How did you find the small low-lying land?”
It couldn’t possibly be that it followed her here, she really didn’t want to believe it.
After coming here, she hadn’t been idle, and whenever she had time, she would train. Although she hadn’t fully recovered, coupled with the limitations of this small body, she couldn’t exert her full abilities.
But she wouldn’t be unable to detect being followed.
Lu Cijian looked at the girl in front of him, seeing her serious expression, her fair face full of nervousness, he said, “I accidentally discovered the place where you grow crops, and found it by following Old Man Liu.”
This was true. When he planned to save Mimi, he heard someone talking, so he hid. But he didn’t expect Jiang Yimian to be so vigilant, instantly discovering his presence. He could only hold his breath, not daring to move at all, let alone follow them.
That was also the first time he saw other people besides himself on the mountain. Fearing encountering mountain bandits, he searched the hills for several days, but still didn’t find their tracks.
He accidentally discovered Old Man Liu and learned that several families had been living in the small low-lying land.
