Care about her?

He had tied his hair into a ball with a headband. He was quite good-looking, and also had a hint of a scholar's aura about him. However, no matter how one looked at it, it seemed that this man was not in the mood for being a scholar.

He is the man that the original owner has always been yearning for?

"Oh, wait a moment."

Lin Lil 'Ye went ashore, wiped her feet, and put on her shoes before walking in front of Lai Wengui.

"That was before …"

"What are you talking about? Where's the pheasant meat? Hurry and take it out, my parents are still waiting. "

Without waiting for Lin Lil 'Ye to finish, Lai Wengui immediately urged her. In the end, he looked through her entire body and even searched through the basin.

Lin Lil 'Ye was stunned.

Aren't you just concerned about relationships, are they all for the sake of eating pheasant meat?

Weirdo, weirdo, truly weirdo. The original owner was still going to curry favor with him?

"Alright, stop looking for it. I'll eat the pheasant meat with the group and Huo Li today."

"Eat it?!" Lai Wengui let out a startled roar. His eyes widened as he lifted his head and covered his entire forehead.

Lin Lil 'Ye immediately shrank her neck back.

He looks pretty good, but this skin should be pulled, right?

"Yes, I was too hungry, so I ate."

Lai Wengui immediately became anxious. He circled around her twice before suddenly raising his hand and pointing at her angrily.

"You said you …"

Wait, this ugly bastard didn't send anything over today? It used to be.

Lin Lil 'Ye saw that Lai Wengui suddenly stopped. She looked at his sneaky eyes and squinted her eyes.

What other ideas do you have? Hmph, I'm not that silly Lin Lil 'Ye in his eyes, and you still want to eat pheasant meat? None at all!

Lai Wengui suddenly smiled at her.

"Lil 'Ye, don't worry, you really should eat more. Look at how thin you are, I'll feel sorry for you. Alright, then remember to send it to me next time, or the usual place, wait for you!"

With that, Lai Wengui winked at her before turning around and walking away.

Lin Lil 'Ye was truly shocked.

Heavens, she had already said so. How could the original owner do such a silly thing? He had been tricked by this man. He really was a scum, a scum! This was like beating a stick to a sweet jujube!

Lin Lil 'Ye immediately felt that her view of the world was ruined. She quickly picked up her laundry and walked back.

They did not find any herbs along the way, but since Dr. Sun and the rest carried baskets on their backs, they guessed that there must be some herbs on the mountain.

Just as he was deep in thought, he saw Huo Li cleaning his bow and arrows in the yard.

"Are you going up the mountain tomorrow?"

"Yes." Huo Li replied without raising his head.

"Then when are you going? Tell me and I'll go with you." Lin Lil 'Ye smiled.

Huo Li's hand immediately stopped moving, and he looked towards Lin Lil 'Ye in confusion in the blink of an eye.

"You want to go up the mountain?"

While Lin Lil 'Ye was drying her clothes, she nodded: "Yeah, remember to call me, don't forget."

Huo Li's eyes darkened. "Where are you going?"

In the past, she would never go to the mountains.

"Go and see if there are any good herbs. At that time, we can sell them to replenish our family's income."

With that, Lin Lil 'Ye finished drying her clothes, and entered the room with the basin.

Huo Li clenched his fist tightly.

Would she really care for this family?

Soon, the sky darkened, and the surroundings became completely silent. One could hear the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves and the barking of other people's dogs.

Few people in the village could afford to use a lamp, so every household was ready to go back to bed as soon as the sky turned dark.

Since she had slept so early, Lin Leyan was not used to it. She stood by the bed and looked at the old but seemingly solid bed and refused to get onto it.

Huo Li had already taken off his clothes. He went to bed with ease, naturally sleeping in the middle.

Lin Lil 'Ye tightened her grip: "Where am I going to sleep?"

Huo Li glanced at her and frowned slightly. In the blink of an eye, he moved to the side to give her more space.

Lin Lil 'Ye immediately felt a bit awkward, but she endured it. It was cold at night, and there was only this bed in the house, so it wasn't appropriate for him to leave.

Alright, let's just sleep like this. He shouldn't do anything out of line at night, right?

With regards to this, Lin Lil 'Ye was rather at ease. After all, it was just her. She was not even interested in the smell on her body or her face, much less a man.

Just by lying in bed for a long time, Lin Lil 'Ye was unable to fall asleep. Furthermore, after an unknown period of time, her stomach began to growl.

It was only then that she realized there wasn't usually any dinner here. No wonder her body was so thin. Also, what was under the bed? Just a layer of dry grass and a piece of cloth on top? No wonder she felt so uncomfortable sleeping.

However, he didn't dare to move, so he was worried that he would wake Huo Li up later.

Lin Lil 'Ye felt more and more that she wasn't living a human life anymore. It seemed like she needed to hurry up and earn some money. No, she had to hurry up and earn some money.

With that thought in mind, an unknown amount of time passed by before Lin Lil 'Ye finally fell asleep. When she woke up, the sky was still dark.

Rubbing his eyes, he heard the sound of friction not too far away.

"You woke up early."

Huo Li was already cleaning the bow in his hands, preparing to leave. However, Lin Lil 'Ye did not know that if it was a normal situation, he would have left a long time ago, and would still be waiting for her.

However, he never would have thought that Lin Lil 'Ye would wake up today.

"Hurry up." Huo Li said coldly.

Lin Lil 'Ye turned around and looked at the little bun, who was sleeping soundly, and immediately got off the bed. She quickly washed up, carried her basket and followed Huo Li up the mountain.

At this moment, the sky was still dark, and there was still a chill even though they had just arrived at the top of the mountain.

Huo Li walked in front and glanced at her. His lips moved slightly.

"It won't be cold after a while."

"Alright."

Lin Lil 'Ye followed Huo Li up the mountain step by step. Only when they reached the mountain did the forest give out a faint light, allowing them to see the road clearly.

"Don't go too far. Call me if you need anything."

Huo Li said in the blink of an eye.

"Sure, go back to work."

Lin Leyan flipped the basket on her back and smiled at him. Then, she turned around and began to look for the herbs.

Huo Li looked at her back and couldn't help but tighten his grip.

She was indeed different. Could it be that she was truly awakened by a river?

If he could take good care of Qi'er in the future, he would be able to relax a little.

Huo Li didn't think too much and turned around to catch his prey.

Lin Lil 'Ye squatted down and paced around, looking at the grass carefully. Suddenly, she realized that there were a lot of herbs in the mountain, but there were also a lot of weeds, so it wasn't easy to dig some.
