After marrying the hunter, he became more and more abnormal

Chapter 159 Going Down the Mountain...

The weather was clear and cloudless.

Xia Mo and Ling Chuan stayed on the mountain for another three days before slowly going down the mountain with their belongings.

Because the man is a wife-loving slave, Xia Mo did not carry much on his back, just like he did when he went up the mountain. Even though the man tried to persuade him and said that he had become much stronger after regular exercise, it still could not change the man's stubborn decision.

Then, under the soft sunlight, two figures, one tall and one short, passed through the lush green woods and slowly walked away along the mountain road.

When they returned down the mountain, as expected, everyone they met looked at them strangely.

To be precise, most of them were looking at Xia Mo.

After all, when Wang Mazi went to the Liu family to propose marriage, he often brought up their failed marriage to express his deep affection for Liu Baolian.

So Xia Mo was not surprised by their reaction. After all, he had thought about it before taking action against the Liu family.

However, knowing is one thing, and they still have to do what they should do to avoid arousing suspicion.

Therefore, three times is the limit.

So when Xia Mo received such a gaze for the third time, he raised his white hand and touched the top of his head, revealing a confused expression as if he was completely bewildered, and looked at them curiously.

Seeing that he looked confused and was carrying things like Lingchuan, those people guessed that they had just returned from the mountain and didn't know what had happened recently.

There were some people who were eager to step forward and talk to Xia Mo, but when they saw a cold and stern man with an expressionless face and a frequently frowning brow standing next to him, they gave up.

However, it cannot be blamed on these people for retreating. After all, the matter of Liu Baolian and Wang Mazi also involved Lingchuan, and Lingchuan also issued a silent warning to them at this time.

One has to say that Ling Chuan was acting in his true colors, because he really didn't like people staring at his brother like this, even if they didn't have any intention of peeping at him!

It was not until they returned home and closed the door that Xia Mo bent over and laughed out loud.

"Hahaha... I can't stop laughing. Brother Ling, you don't know how hard it is for me to endure this. Look at how they want to gossip about me but are afraid of you. It's really ridiculous. I almost couldn't hold my composure on the spot..."

The crisp laughter came in strings, like the collision of jade beads, and even the long eyelashes trembled with laughter, and soon they were wet.

Ling Chuan chuckled. Seeing that the boy was so busy laughing that he forgot to put down his things, he said helplessly: "The things are heavy, put them down first."

"Yeah." Xia Mo responded vaguely, moving slowly, "I think if Yu Ge'er and the others saw me, they would gossip with me about the interesting things about the Liu family just like those uncles and aunts just now."

"I think you want to gossip with them." Ling Chuan put his things down and ruthlessly exposed his little thoughts.

"No way, I was just talking." Xia Mo curled his lips.

Ling Chuan smiled, and when he looked back, he found that the boy was still standing there motionless, not knowing what he was thinking about, and he laughed again.

He couldn't help but shook his head, silently calling him "silly brother" in his heart, and at the same time took big steps to walk behind the other person, trying to take off the basket he was carrying.

"Are your shoulders sore?" The man lowered his eyes and spoke softly.

"It doesn't feel sore or painful." Xia Mo tilted his head. Although he was smiling, his body cooperated with the man's movements.

"Brother Ling, don't disbelieve me. Yu'er is such a gossipy person, how could he not tell me? If Yingying was here, I guess they would have started chatting about it a long time ago." Xia Mo said to himself.

Ling Chuan said "hmm" and didn't expose his little thoughts. He carried the basket into the house with one hand.

Xia Mo saw him go in, but did not follow him immediately. Instead, he raised his head and looked around, taking in his long-lost home. Then he lowered his head to look at the fallen osmanthus flowers and small branches and leaves at his feet, and then he walked inside.

When he walked in and touched a thin layer of dust on the table, he said to Ling Chuan: "Brother Ling, it looks like we are going to have a big fight."

"Huh?" Ling Chuan turned around suddenly and saw the young man clapping his hands to blow away the dust.

Xia Mo paused for a moment, thinking he had overreacted. But after staring for a few seconds and not noticing anything different, he continued, "We need to clean up. No one has lived here for so long. Look how dusty it is."

Xia Mo pointed to the table top that he had touched. The man's eyes moved slightly and he nodded calmly.

So the two of them cleaned the house inside and out, then wiped the bamboo poles for drying things, and hung the quilts and clothes on them.

After finishing all this, they started to wipe the tables, chairs, stoves, etc.

Although the cleaning was not difficult, it took them a lot of time, so by the time everything was cleaned up, it was already noon.

"Brother Ling, what do you want to eat for lunch? I'll make it." Xia Mo stretched, looked at the blue sky, then turned to ask Ling Chuan.

Ling Chuan thought that they would have to go to Liu Yong's house later, so he wanted to keep it simple, "Let's have some green vegetable noodles. I'll go pick some water spinach in front of the door."

"Okay, maybe add a fried egg."

"Yeah, it's all right. Ze'er's bottom tastes good."

Xia Mo's cheeks suddenly turned red as he thought of a certain joke. "...Then go pick some vegetables." After saying that, he greased his feet and slipped into the kitchen.

Ling Chuan was suspicious, but he didn't dwell on it for long. After all, there was a long time to go, and since the young man had gradually opened up his heart to him, he would eventually figure it out.

The meal took a very short time. After filling their stomachs, the two took a short rest. After the meal was over, they took the money and some semi-dried persimmon biscuits to go to Liu Yong's house.

"Sister-in-law." Xia Mo called out with a smile to Qi, who was chatting with someone with her back to him.

Qi turned around in surprise when she heard the voice, and saw Xia Mo and Ling Chuan waving at her. She immediately smiled, "Ze Ge'er, you're back."

As she spoke, she walked out briskly and opened the door for them.

"Yeah, I just came back." Xia Mo smiled and handed the basket to Qi, "These are the persimmon biscuits we dried on the mountain. Sister-in-law, you guys can have a try."

"You're here, so what else do you want to bring?" Qi glared at Xia Mo. Although she said that, she thought about it and still accepted it, and opened it to take a look.

"That's perfect. I can share it with Tiedan and the others later. They've been letting the horses run lately."

Xia Mo had no objection to this. Since the things were given away, it was natural for others to deal with them. However, he was curious about who Tiedan watched Mo Ying with.

“Tiedan and the others? Aren’t they just a bunch of little brats?”

Qi nodded and smiled: "It's just his friends, Yu Ge'er and Ying Ying. They just happened to have nothing to do today, so they went crazy with the kids."

Xia Mo could imagine that scene. After all, except for Yi Ge'er, Tiedan's other friends were all very lively.

Just as Xia Mo was sketching the picture in his mind, the strange old woman who was chatting with Qi also came out. She looked at Xia Mo and Ling Chuan's faces, and finally stopped at Xia Mo.

Seeing this, Xia Mo smiled at her politely: "Hello, grandma."

Ling Chuan frowned slightly and called out indifferently, but the old woman didn't seem to care about him that much and still stared at Xia Mo.

Maybe it was because Xia Mo suddenly smiled, but her eyes suddenly widened a little: "You...you can't be Ayun's child, right?"
