Chapter 49 Just a Little Bit Short
When Pei Jin and Pei Yu were this old, they already had babies.

People in the village have always gotten married early, and Pei Yu is only getting married now, so he is already considered one of the older ones.

Pei Yanning didn't think about anyone else at all.

He turned around and looked at the yard next door again. The view at this moment was not as good as from the tree. From the tree, Pei Yanning could even see Lingxi's yard clearly.

here……

He sighed, peeled a piece of crispy candy for himself and put it in his mouth, then slowly straightened the clothes he had changed into specially for coming to see his daughter, and pointed his chin at the hanging rope, motioning Lao Hei to help him collect it.

Lao Hei: "..."

Just be lazy!
Seeing Lao Hei put away the rope, Pei Yanning walked towards the mountains.

Lao Hei was very surprised: "Why don't you go back and take a look? You can have a drink at the wedding!"

Pei Yanning waved his hand and said, "After I finish the work in the mountains, I will take a vacation and stay at home for a while.

At this moment...

never mind!

I haven't been home for a long time. If my daughter bursts into tears in front of me when I go back, I won't be able to let her go. I'm afraid that if I lose my determination, I will just quit my job and go home to be with her."

Lao Hei: "..."

Fine!

Lao Hei and Pei Yanning have worked together for many years. He has become accustomed to Pei Yanning always talking about her daughter and always keeping any good things for her daughter.

Pei Yanning dotes on his daughter so much that if his daughter really cried to him, he might just give up and go home.

Pei Yanning was actually quite happy today.

The last time he came over, he happened to see the old lady scolding in the yard after Lingxi fainted.

He would send those things later to help Lingxi replenish her body.

And this time...

Her daughter is so lively and energetic, and her little movements and expressions are so adorable.

Pei Yanning's eyes were filled with doting.

Pei Yanning was thinking about his daughter in his heart, but he did not waste time talking about business with Lao Hei.

"Have we filled the medical staff we are short of? There are a lot of hidden dangers and poisonous gases down there. Our people have experience, so I am not worried. But if something goes wrong with those experts, we can't afford to pay for it."

Lao Hei said seriously, "Xi Yan led the team here. You should trust her professional skills."

Xi Yan is Lao Hei's sister. She has outstanding business skills. The reason she was able to come here this time is because the discovery in the mountains is extremely important, so she was specially dispatched to help.

Pei Yanning hummed and nodded: "Let's pack up and go downstairs tomorrow morning. The earlier we go down, the earlier we can come out."

Well, he will try to come back at the end of the year to celebrate the New Year with his daughter.

He has been staying in this deep mountain forest for more than half a year. He can't stay in the mountains to celebrate the New Year this year!
In the past, he only occasionally glanced at his daughter from afar, but this time he unexpectedly saw his daughter face to face, and he didn't want to stay here any longer.

Lingxi didn't know what happened after she left.

She hurriedly and breathlessly ran back to the village, and only when she saw so many people in the village did she breathe a sigh of relief.

Lingxi slowly calmed her breathing and slowed down her pace. The discomfort in her mind and body gradually eased to the level she was accustomed to. She felt better and walked towards home.

At this time, Uncle Pei, Uncle Pei and several uncles in the clan were discussing things at the door.

Lingxi walked over, greeted a few people, and pulled Uncle Pei to a corner.

Uncle Pei immediately noticed that Lingxi looked a little panicked. His expression changed slightly, and he gently patted Lingxi on the back, comforting her: "Don't be afraid, uncle is here!"

Lingxi was only startled for a moment, but she had recovered by now. Seeing that her second uncle was worried about her, she smiled and said, "Don't worry, second uncle. I'm fine."

She simply told him what had just happened.

"When I saw the man, I didn't even give him a chance to speak. I just scattered the sleeping pills that my fourth brother gave me, and then I ran back." "Our Lingxi did the right thing. When encountering danger, you have to get out immediately. Go home to your second uncle and your brother. Be good, and do the same next time. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Our Lingxier must always put her own safety first." Uncle Pei warned.

Lingxi nodded obediently.

"Okay, I'll listen to my second uncle."

Uncle Pei was worried that Lingxi would think too much when she was alone, so he called Minghui and asked him to accompany his aunt. Then he called Uncle Pei and the two of them went up the mountain.

However, when they went to the place Lingxi mentioned, there was no one there.

Uncle Pei had a solemn expression on his face. He found the tree Lingxi mentioned and was about to climb up to take a look. Then the next moment, he discovered a mark on the trunk that only they brothers knew.

Uncle Pei: "..."

!!!

Uncle Pei's anxiety was instantly relieved. He looked around but didn't see anyone.

This is really...

Uncle Pei had a very subtle expression. He turned to look at Uncle Pei, and Uncle Pei also fell silent.

The two looked at each other.

Just a little bit and I’ll be able to make it to Lingxi’s engagement party.

This thing is done!
Uncle Pei felt a little helpless, but then he remembered what happened today...

Pei Yanning sneaked back to see Lingxi coming, but Lingxi didn't know at all and didn't even give him a chance to talk. She just knocked her out and turned around and ran away.

Uncle Pei showed a smile in his eyes.

Uncle Pei: “…”

This gentle second brother of his has a bit of a bad taste.

Uncle Pei wiped off the mark left by Pei Yanning, and then the two brothers walked back.
-
The hunting team returned before dark.

Their original plan was to spend a night in the mountains, but this time the journey into the mountains went too smoothly, and in just half a day they hunted four wild boars, two large and two small, two wild goats, and several rabbits and pheasants.

It was just that we were delayed on the road and it was already dark when we came back.

Torches were lit in the village, and the butcher slaughtered pigs overnight. Gu Si had a quick meal with Pei Jin and his two brothers in the kitchen, and then went to find Lingxi.

He encountered a strange thing today.

"We're half an hour's walk west of our valley, and we'll cross a mountain. There are a lot of people there. I went over quickly and saw a lot of tents set up, and there were guards around from time to time."

You can tell at a glance that something big is going on over there.

Lingxi was surprised. She looked at Gu Si and said, "Then you still want to plant things in the valley. Is it safe?"

Half an hour, it’s not that far.

Now everything in the mountains is public property. If the things they grow are discovered by others, there will be some trouble.

Gu Si: “…”

Probably not very safe.

"I discovered today that someone had entered the cave we visited last time. They used some of my food and firewood, and left me some canned meat after they were done."

He took out a few more golden beans: "And this."

Lingxi: “…”

!!!
