Chapter 25: Red Beans
Hongdou suddenly heard Li Xifeng's voice, and then noticed him, and suddenly showed a look of surprise on his face, and then he snorted softly, and rushed over with open hands like a bird throwing into the forest.
"Grandpa Zephyr, Red Bean misses you so much!"
The bird-like girl rushed directly into Li Xifeng's arms.
This old farmer-like old man hurriedly hugged the red bean with his backhand, and laughed: "Ouch my little red bean, do you miss your Grandpa Zephyr, or do you miss the gift that your Grandpa Zephyr brought you?"
The girl's black pearl-like eyes rolled around, and she said with a smile: "Of course I miss Grandpa Zephyr, because Grandpa Zephyr is the best for red beans, and he will bring gifts to red beans every time." ”
Hearing the girl's answer, together with Ye Li, several people around couldn't help laughing, and they naturally heard the little cunning revealed in the girl's words.
The girl also noticed Ye Li standing next to Li Xifeng at this time, in the past few days, she has been in contact with people from her grandparents and uncles, and it is rare to see a young brother, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Grandpa Zephyr, who is this brother, is he your friend, can he play with Hongdou for a while, those uncles and uncles are very busy, and they can't play with Hongdou. ”
Hongdou showed pitiful eyes as he spoke, looking at Li Xifeng.
Li Xifeng seemed to be a little unable to stand Hongdou's gaze, and hurriedly introduced: "This is Brother Ye Li, and he is also the escort of this rally.
But your brother Ye Li is going to work soon, you can't get in the way of him, of course, if he finishes work, you can still play with him. ”
Li Xifeng said as he glanced at Ye Li, because he saw that the big round eyes of the red bean began to show a look of disappointment.
Ye Li didn't reject this cute little girl, but he still had something to do after all, so he could only nod and say: "Your name is Hongdou, Brother Ye Li is going to collect trees now, and I can't play with you for the time being."
After all, I don't know where there are tall and straight trees, and I have to spend time looking for them, so I'll play with you when my brother is done, okay?"
When Hongdou heard Ye Li's words, his eyes lit up violently, and he said, "Brother Ye Li, do you want to look for tall and straight trees, Hongdou knows where to find them, let Hongdou take you there, okay!"
Hongdou's words made everyone stunned, Hongdou looked at the puzzled looks in everyone's eyes, and hurriedly shouted: "You have to believe Hongdou, when you asked your father to come here to find this vacant land, I pestered him to bring me together."
We had been walking around the neighborhood for a while, so I had seen a tall, straight forest not far from here. ”
Hongdou seemed to be afraid that everyone would not believe her, and while talking, she stretched out her hand and stood on tiptoe to make a gesture of "tall and straight".
Li Xifeng saw that she was so sure, and said, "Little Red Bean, have you really seen the tall and straight woods nearby with your father?"
Hongdou tugged on Li Xifeng's sleeve and nodded, and said with an affirmative face: "Little Hongdou never lies, I have really seen it, and I have also touched those big trees on my father's neck." ”
Listening to what Hongdou said, Li Xifeng finally nodded and said, "Otherwise, let Hongdou take the leaves and leave to find the trees, what do you think, Brother Lin?"
The expression on Lin Shiyu's face seemed to be a little embarrassed, after all, letting a stranger take away the red beans made him a little uneasy.
He was not worried that Ye Li would abduct his granddaughter, but that Ye Li would not bother to watch the red bean and put her in danger.
After all, although there are no demon beasts in this area, there are still some ordinary beasts infested, and it will definitely be very unsafe for a little girl to wander in the forest.
Li Xifeng looked at Lin Shiyu's face and said, "Don't worry about the safety of the red bean, Brother Ye is very stable, let the red bean take him to find the trees, the red bean is also happy, and Brother Ye also saves trouble, killing two birds with one stone." ”
Although Lin Shiyu didn't know why Li Xifeng was so relieved of Ye Li, the two had a lifelong friendship, and Li Xifeng hurt red beans more than his grandfather, so there was absolutely no possibility of harming her.
After hesitating a little, he still nodded and said, "Then trouble Brother Ye to look at Hongdou a little, after all, there are still some beasts in the wilderness, and Hongdou is a little naughty, don't let her run around." ”
Ye Li hurriedly nodded and said, "Uncle Lin, don't worry, I will keep a close eye on the red beans and won't let her be in danger." ”
Hongdou seemed to be a little angry, Lin Shiyu said that she was naughty, pouted, ran to Lin Shiyu's side and tugged at her grandfather's robe hard.
He, who had always known his granddaughter's temper, naturally understood which of his words made Hongdou angry, so he hurriedly bowed down and touched Hongdou's head, and said: "Oh, it's grandpa who said the wrong thing, my little Hongdou is the most obedient and sensible, and he is not naughty at all." ”
Hearing his grandfather's words, Hongdou snorted angrily and said, "Of course, I took Ye Li's brother to find the big tree to help everyone, I am naturally the most sensible!"
She pouted and puffed out, but she made everyone smile, the little girl is innocent and has no pretense of temperament, and she is always likable.
Li Xifeng looked at Ye Li and said, "Little Brother Ye, the matter of the trees is up to you, if you can collect enough fifty trees in the afternoon, we can build a pergola before the evening." ”
Ye Li nodded and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Li, I also cut down trees when I repaired the thatched hut myself, I know my ability, and it shouldn't be a problem to collect enough trees in a few hours." ”
Hearing Ye Li's assurance, although Li Xifeng didn't understand what the other party would do, he nodded trustingly.
Hongdou also came over at this time and tugged at Ye Li's sleeve, shouting excitedly: "Let's go, Brother Yezi, Hongdou will take you to that tall and straight wood." ”
Ye Li heard that the little girl gave him a nickname in a blink of an eye, and he also smiled, this self-familiar little girl was very cute.
After saying goodbye to a few old men, Ye Li followed her into the distance amid the excited laughter of Hongdou.
After Ye Li left, Tie San spoke: "Xifeng, what is the origin of this little brother Ye, I think you seem to have a very different attitude towards him?"
After Li Xifeng watched Ye Li walk away, he lowered his voice and told Ye Li that he was a Linghai Stage Spirit Rune Master, and then said, "Think about what a Spirit Sea Stage Spirit Rune Master of about twenty years old is. ”
Tie Wu, who hadn't spoken much, also said with a shocked expression: "Brother Zephyr, you can't be mistaken, which of the Spirit Sea Stage Spirit Rune Masters around twenty years old is not from a big family, and they must all be family elites, how can they come to us to do some guards?"
