Chapter 25: The Cabin in the Woods

The early morning dew was rolling on the tips of the leaves, brushed by Shen Jiangge's toes, and rolled down sharply.

The morning sun shone on her hurried figure, sending her away all the way.

"I haven't been back for so long, Uncle Li should be in a hurry."

Shen Jiangge was most afraid of Uncle Li's nagging, and he didn't know how many times he would be nagged if he was caught this time.

In the far corner of the north of the city, a hut is lonely, as if it is independent.

The area around the hut is covered with tall trees, and it is not easy to spot the hut without looking closely.

There are also various flowers and plants planted next to the hut, which at first glance look a little purple and red.

Among these flowers, a middle-aged man in his forties is bending over to fertilize and water these flowers and plants.

He is so obsessed with these flowers and plants that he will even crouch down to see if there are any insects on the opposite side of the leaves.

He did this earnestly, glancing up at the entrance to the forest from time to time, looking a little worried.

"Uncle Li—I'm back—"

As soon as Shen Jiangge entered the forest, he waved his hand at Li Mo and shouted.

As soon as Li Mo heard that it was Shen Jiangge's voice, he hurriedly put down the work in his hand, trotted out of the flower field in a few steps, and grabbed Shen Jiangge and went to twist her ears.

"It hurts—"

Shen Jiangge deliberately pretended to be grinning, and his face was full of grievances like a cat.

Sure enough, Li Mo saw her crying out in pain, but he still relented and let her go.

But he still bluffed a black face and asked reproachfully: "Where did you go crazy and didn't come home for three days and three nights?" Are you bullying you, Uncle Li is old and can't control you anymore? Yes? ”

"Hey, hey, hey...... Didn't I hear that the son of the Dog Emperor was here......"

Shen Jiangge grinned at Li Mo and muttered.

"You, you ran to find someone to get revenge???"

Li Mo's face darkened in an instant, he picked up the broom on the side, picked it up and was about to hit her.

"Uncle Li, Uncle Li, I know it's wrong, I know it's wrong...... Oops, hey......"

Shen Jiangge hurriedly avoided it, begging for mercy while hiding, but no matter how she hid, she was still tied up in the end.

"I said it all, and I knew it was wrong...... It's still so heavy......"

Shen Jiangge simply sat on the ground and couldn't get up, complaining in a low voice.

"Do you know how dangerous it is for you to go alone?! If you die there alone, how can you let me explain to your dead mother?! Punish you for kneeling down before your mother's tablet! You are not allowed to come out to eat until noon, do you hear?! ”

Li Mo was so angry that his hand holding the broom was trembling, and he drove Shen Jiangge to kneel like a duck.

"Got it......"

Shen Jiangge knew that Li Mo was worried about her, so he had to kneel obediently.

She just got up and wanted to leave, but was pulled by Li Mo.

Li Mohu sniffed at her suspiciously, and his face turned even bluer.

He asked with a gloomy face, "What about the medicine you put with you?" ”

Shen Jiangge didn't expect Uncle Li to have such a keen sense of smell, so he subconsciously had to lie and said: "That, I failed to stab, I was a little injured, and I ate it myself." ”

"Ate it yourself?"

Li Mo looked at Shen Jiangge suspiciously.

He just wanted to grab Shen Jiangge's wrist to check the pulse, but Shen Jiangge slipped away like a loach.

"Uncle Li, I want to eat called flower chicken at noon!"

Shen Jiangge didn't forget to order food shamelessly while running, and Li Mo kept shaking his head.

"Alas...... This kid ...... I'm afraid it's getting more and more uncontrollable......"

Li Mo lowered his head and sighed helplessly, so he could only hunch over and go to the backyard to kill chickens.

Shen Jiangge entered a remote hut, where there was only one desk, on which was her mother's tablet, and in front of the tablet was the begonia flower, which was said to be her mother's favorite during her lifetime.

This begonia flower is fresh every day, because Uncle Li will pick the most blooming flower from the flower field every day and put it in front of the tablet.

Shen Jiangge slowly knelt in front of the tablet, and whispered guiltily: "Mother, it is the son of a child who is unfilial and has failed to slash the enemy. ”

The tablet is silent there, like a listener, never betrayed.

Li Mo's figure stood slowly outside the door, staring at Shen Jiangge, who was already a little numb on his knees, and sighed lightly.

Eventually, he turned around and walked slowly into the forest.

When it was noon, Li Mo coughed twice, bluffed and said, "Kneel almost enough, come on, come and eat." ”

As soon as Shen Jiangge heard that he was released, he immediately wanted to get up, but his legs were so numb that he could only smile at Li Mo.

Li Mo glared at her and stepped forward to help her up.

"Look, it's better to be Uncle Li. The hard mouth and soft heart hurt me the most. ”

Shen Jiangge stood on Li Mo's back, and said half-patting his ass.

"Come less. I just went out to buy spices, and I heard from the neighbors that the dog official surnamed Zhou had embezzled the disaster relief food money and killed people, and everyone had been imprisoned by the four princes. If nothing else, as soon as the order from the capital arrives tomorrow, it will be his death. ”

Li Mo talked about what he heard as he walked, but his eyes paid attention to Shen Jiangge's reaction.

These had long been expected by Shen Jiangge, but she still deliberately dragged out her voice "Oh-" to express her doubts and surprises, as if she had just learned the news.

In this way, the victims outside the city will be saved. It seems that the son of the Dog Emperor also has a capable and practical person. ”

Shen Jiangge shrugged his shoulders and said casually.

"I also heard that in this case, the people of Linglong Pavilion also helped a lot. I also heard that on the first night, Ji Yuhan seemed to be fighting with some beautiful woman on the banks of the Qinhuai River......"

The more Li Moyue said that Shen Jiangge was more and more empty-hearted, so that when he said this, Shen Jiangge let go of the hand holding him, pretending to be "I didn't hear anything" and ran towards the kitchen excitedly.

"Uncle Li, your skills in stewing flower chicken are getting better and better, and you can smell the fragrance from afar!"

"You can tell me clearly, are you mixed with something? A little girl...... I'm getting better and better at fooling me......"

Li Mo was a little panting after her, but Shen Jiangge deliberately avoided his question.

"It smells so good."

Shen Jiangge pulled a big chicken leg, shook the chicken leg towards Li Mo, and said with a bright smile: "Uncle Li, did you add chili peppers today?" Hehe, it's so fragrant that my saliva is about to flow out. ”

"Hmph, if you don't tell me honestly, you won't even want to eat any of them!"

Li Mo pretended to be angry and wanted to grab the chicken legs, but was held down by Shen Jiangge.

"No~No~~ I've been kneeling all morning, why haven't your anger subsided......"

"Ahem, ahem, ahem—alright, alright, don't shake it, eat it, eat it."

Li Mo was helplessly shaken by her, so he had to give up and turn around and cough violently several times.

"Uncle Li, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Jiangge saw that Li Mo's face was not quite right, and asked with concern.

"It's out of the way, it's still an old problem. Eat yours quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold. ”

"Hmmm! Great! Here, this piece is for you! ”

"Hmph, you want to lie to me again?"

"No, I'll make it up to you—"

"Hahahaha, I didn't hurt you little girl in vain!"

Li Mo's hearty laughter echoed throughout the room.

Outside the window, the begonia flowers are blooming just right.
