“Why are you here?” Yu Jinyue grabbed the bag on his body in panic, his eyes dodged, and he licked his lips uncomfortably.

“How can I know that you are so brave if I’m not here?” Yu Jinhuai put the knife in front of him and praised, “Yu Jinyue, good job.”

As soon as he said this, Yu Jinyue was frightened and stiffened. The blade reflected white light under the moonlight. Looking at the big knife only a finger away from him, his eyes were straight. He remembered this knife clearly. His second brother used it when he went up the mountain to hunt. He saw it clearly.

Now the knife is in front of him. As long as his second brother doesn’t hold it firmly and his hand loosens, he will feel pain just thinking about where the knife will fall.

Yu Jinyue swallowed nervously, and stretched out his hand stiffly. He carefully placed it on the back of the knife, and slowly pushed it away. Seeing that Yu Jinhuai had no expression on his face, he smiled at him ingratiatingly.

 “Brother-in-law, persuade him.” Yu Jinyue pursed his lips at Meng Yunshu to signal him to persuade Yu Jinhuai for him.

Meng Yunshu turned his head away pretending not to see it, muttering in his heart that he had said that this kid would definitely run away secretly. As expected, he guessed it right. He wanted to run away at the age of fifteen, so he should be taught a good lesson.

Seeing his actions, Yu Jinyue suddenly wanted to cry but had no tears, and hurriedly explained: “Brother, I didn’t think of looking for my father.”

When this was said, Yu Jinhuai and Meng Yunshu both felt absurd. The husband and wife stared at him, listening to what excuses he could come up with.

 Yu Jinyue was not to be outdone. He coughed lightly, and the night wind blew. He couldn’t help coughing until his face turned red and his eyes were tearful. He explained in a hoarse voice: “Brother-in-law wants a small stove. No one in our village can make it, but Taoli Village next door does it and is better at it. I thought about going to Taoli Village to order the stove, but who knew…”

Anyone who is not a fool can understand what he said.

Meng Yunshu raised his eyebrows helplessly, “Is it for us?”

“Of course.” Yu Jinyue answered immediately, and changed his words when he noticed his second cousin brother’s increasingly dangerous eyes, “It’s all my fault for not explaining it clearly. I only wanted to surprise Brother-in-law, but I didn’t expect to make you worry.”

It sounded high-sounding, but the three of them knew exactly what he was thinking, and they didn’t pick it out clearly.

 “Okay, you order a stove for your brother-in-law. You can take the carriage at home and come back early.”

After Yu Jinhuai finished speaking, he put away his knife, and jumped away with a cane in one hand. He got up in a hurry and only brought a cane with him. As soon as he left, Meng Yunshu followed him back. It was still early, so he could go home and take another nap, and study oden at noon.

Yu Jinyue, who was standing at the door of his house, looked at their receding figures. His nose was sore. He raised his hand and rubbed his nose hard, followed them to the Yu family house, and pulled the carriage out. He stood in the yard, looked at the window with warm yellow light, and left in silence.

Yu Jinhuai turned off the oil lamp in the bedroom after hearing the door close.

 Meng Yunshu listened to his rustling movements and asked doubtfully: “Will he go to Taoli Village?”

“Yes.” Yu Jinhuai answered, and then continued: “Once you say it, you must do it.”

He was so sure that Meng Yunshu had to believe it.

The next morning, Meng Yunshu sat in the yard picking vegetables and looked at the three stoves under the eaves. Each one was to his liking. He couldn’t help but sigh that Yu Jinhuai was right. Xiao Yue really bought a stove and even brought back an extra fish.

Today the weather is good. The sun is shining brightly, and it makes people feel warm and cheerful.

As soon as Yu Jinyue came back and had breakfast, he went to the mountain to chop firewood.

After picking the vegetables, Meng Yunshu just got up and prepared to go to the kitchen, and the wind chimes in the store suddenly rang.

He turned around and said something to Yu Jinhuai, put the vegetables in his hand into the kitchen and went into the store.

——

In the store, a guest from the end of the world was looking around. It was not until he raised his head that Meng Yunshu found that he looked a bit like Lu Renjia, but he was different from Lu Renjia who came to the store for the first time. There was no shock or surprise on his face, and his expression was calm. There was no trace of surprise on his face.

Seeing him, the visitor just nodded friendly.

 The goods on the shelves were swept away by Lu Ruan yesterday. He had not had time to put new goods on the shelves. At this time, the shelves were empty. Meng Yunshu hurriedly opened the system mall and was about to purchase goods, but he remembered that he could only purchase goods once a day. The customer who came this time had not said what he wanted, so Meng Yunshu had to temporarily withdraw his hand and sit behind the counter to look at him.

He asked: “Excuse me, what do you need?”

The man approached him. He squinted his eyes and thought, and tapped his fingers on the counter. After a moment, he opened his mouth and said: “Instant noodles and bread which can fill your stomach, as well as alcohol and gauze.”

Meng Yunshu nodded and quickly placed an order. After a while, a dazzling array of goods appeared on the shelves.

 After taking down all the products the man needed and scanning them, he was about to check out, but he heard him say, “Please also give me a bag of fruit candy and chocolate, as well as white sugar and brown sugar.”

“Wait a moment.” Meng Yunshu turned around and took down the products from the shelf again, scanning them one by one, “Two thousand three hundred coins.”

After he paid the bill, the products on the counter disappeared in an instant.

Before the man left, Meng Yunshu couldn’t help but ask one more question: “Excuse me, who is Lu Renjia to you?”

Lu Renyi replied, “My brother, my name is Lu Renyi.”

Hearing his name, Meng Yunshu finally couldn’t help laughing out loud. How could parents give their children such a name? If it was in order, would there be Bing and Ding next?

As if he could see what he was thinking, Lu Renyi smiled and said, “I also have a younger brother and sister, Lu Renbing and Lu Rending.”

Hearing this, Meng Yunshu was stunned for a moment that he didn’t ask why his parents named him that.

 After watching him leave, Meng Yunshu wanted to take this opportunity to plant his own seeds at the farm behind. Before he turned around, he heard the wind chimes at the door ring again. This time, a nomadic man came in. He looked around. Meng Yunshu noticed that he was very careful with his steps. He was slightly bent, and the eagle eyes hidden under his hair looked around sharply, afraid of touching anything.

Like a lone wolf who accidentally walked into a strange territory, every move was cautious and vigilant.
