Chapter 369 Be careful?
Little Yining returned to Linglong Courtyard in a daze, and kept complaining in her heart that the two old men in her family were both being targeted, but no one cared about her eldest uncle. It was really strange, because her eldest uncle was obviously the most handsome.
She looked up at the attic. It had changed again after a month. Originally, her uncle had built a simple frame version, and the place where she lived was more luxurious. Now, the outer eaves of the upstairs were decorated, and even the windows were replaced with carved and hollow mahogany windows. It looked quite high-end. She could finally peek openly without having to cover up.
She hadn't been here for a long time, so she found this place strange and new.
At this time, Hanqiu Courtyard was already bustling, unlike her side which was deserted.
Xiao Yining stood in the corner and listened to the noise over there. She didn't hear her fellow villager's voice, so she guessed that he had isolated everyone by relying on his strength again.
At this time, Qiu Yi ran to the little girl and whispered, "Miss, cousin, you didn't finish your homework and were punished by the teacher."
Xiao Yining: ..., she thought her fellow villager was a diligent top student.
……
Zhang Liangchuan stared at this familiar scene with mixed feelings, as if the scene from the past was reappearing before his eyes. Not long ago, his two close friends did the same thing, holding bamboo bags high and standing at the door as punishment.
He slowly walked in front of Pei Yi, glanced at Ah Da who was helping his master to carry the bamboo bag, and asked solemnly: "Junior Brother Pei, you haven't finished your homework yet?"
"It's hard to take care of a baby!" Pei Yi replied calmly, and then started to make up for his studies. The advantage of having a wheelchair is that he can use a wooden board as a table anytime and anywhere.
Zhang Liangchuan: ..., even the wording is exactly the same.
But think about it, Junior Brother Lin's daughter is really hard to take care of. She gets into trouble whenever she goes out. She really needs to be kept an eye on all the time.
Xiao Yining: Are you polite?
As he was thinking this, Zhang Liangchuan caught a glimpse of Xie Jinzhi passing by hurriedly not far away.
Ever since his niece did that shameful thing, this man has not been as cheerful as before.
Then he asked, "How is Sister Qing'er's health now?"
Pei Yi sighed softly when he heard this, "Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother Zhang. It's fine now. I just can't eat cold food, or I'll get a stomachache."
Zhang Liangchuan nodded and said comfortingly, "It seems that your spleen and stomach are weak. It will get better if you take care of it."
Then, he whispered in Pei Yi's ear, "I heard that the person behind the poisoning of the Xie family that day has been found, but unfortunately, that person committed suicide by jumping into the lake due to love on the night of the incident."
Upon hearing the news, Pei Yi's eyes tightened slightly, but he quickly regained his calm.
He glanced at Zhang Liangchuan and saw him continue to say, "The Xie family can only swallow the bitterness of this matter. Also, the second Miss Xie has been sent away by the Xie family to treat her face. She will not return until before the wedding."
"Thank you for letting me know." Pei Yi raised the corner of his mouth and thanked him softly.
Zhang Liangchuan patted his shoulder, said meaningfully, "Be careful," and continued to stroll leisurely.
Be careful about everything?
Pei Yi pondered these four words carefully, staring at Zhang Liangchuan's departing back, and fell into deep thought.
……
"Be careful?" Xiao Yining put down the telescope and looked at his fellow villager in surprise.
Pei Yi nodded, "Brother Zhang did say that."
He reached out and took the kid's telescope, threw it to Zhao Ya, and looked down at Hanqiu Courtyard below.
The atmosphere in the courtyard was warm and active. Although there was one person missing, it did not affect the students' high passion for learning.
These people gathered outside to talk and exchange knowledge, and no one noticed that he was not in the yard, but in the attic next door.
Ah Da was doing his job as usual, sitting at the door and cooking his dose of medicine.
The little kid beside him also frowned like him, thinking hard about four words. She looked up in confusion, "Uncle, why do you want us to be careful? We haven't offended anyone."
Pei Yi didn't understand why, but he had some thoughts in his mind.
But this sudden malice is really annoying.
"Since someone has reminded us, no matter whether it is true or false, we should be careful." This is all Pei Yi could say now.
Then he comforted her, "Although your father and brother Chengzi are not here, I can still protect you."
Xiao Yining naturally knew that her fellow villager was called a big shot by Wang Gungun, and she also knew that her fellow villager was a little different from others.
The kid glanced at his fellow villager and couldn't help but bragging, "Although my cousin doesn't like to do homework just like my father and my eldest uncle, he is the best person to Qingjie."
"..., of course." Pei Yi looked at her speechlessly. No one else could mock and praise her at the same time.
At this moment, a thunderous gurgling sound suddenly came from the baby's abdomen.
Pei Yi heard it clearly. This voice was very familiar. He had heard it countless times, and every time he heard this voice, it meant a certain situation.
Pei Yi rubbed his temple helplessly, and suddenly felt a headache. He asked unhappily, "Qing Jie'er, what did you eat today?"
Xiao Yining: ...
Before he could finish his words, the kid was picked up by the fellow villager and ran to the location of the descendants' bucket.
When Pei Yi returned to Hanqiuyuan, his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
He took out a few coins from his purse, gave them to Ah Da reluctantly, and instructed, "Go find Uncle Yu and ask him to tell Mrs. Zhou over there every day to tell Lin Yining not to eat carelessly."
Ada glanced at the fire in the medicine furnace, then glanced at the attic next door, then silently took the silver and hurriedly left Hanqiu Courtyard.
Pei Yi smelled the aroma of medicine, sat down in front of the medicine furnace, and continued to watch over the medicine that was almost ready.
Pei Yi couldn't help but sigh as he had to play both the role of father and mother here and couldn't even control the little kid.
Just at this moment, a long-lost figure came into the young man's sight through the lingering "fairy air".
Lu Tingfeng was seen carrying a bag, following closely behind the abbot, entering Hanqiu Courtyard again and heading straight for the room where Nalan Qingye used to live.
"My fellow brothers and sisters, long time no see!" Lu Tingfeng bowed to everyone in the courtyard with a humble attitude.
After he put his bag away, he walked out of the room again and said to Pei Yi: "Junior Brother Pei, I have moved in next to you now. If you have any inconvenience in the future, you can call me at any time and I will definitely come to help you."
Pei Yi's eyes turned slightly cold as his gaze fell on the other person's already healed left hand. The hideous and twisted burn scar silently told of what the person in front of him had done in the past.
The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a sarcastic smile, and he responded: "Thank you for your kindness, Senior Brother Lu, but I really can't afford it."
Lu Tingfeng's expression stiffened instantly, and then he smiled bitterly: "Junior Brother Pei, are you still angry with me?"
The boy did not deny it, but just nodded silently.
The atmosphere between the two of them suddenly froze, and Lu Tingfeng showed a hurt expression.
Fortunately, there were more than just the two of them in Hanqiu Academy. Upon seeing this, the other students quickly pulled Lu Tingfeng away and shared with him what they had seen and heard during the field holiday, so it wasn't too embarrassing.
Of course, there are also people like Pei Yi who are too lazy to pay attention to him - such as Wu Haoran.
He walked behind the young man, covered his nose, and whispered, "This Senior Brother Lu, instead of taking care of the sonless abbot, wants to take care of you on behalf of the deceased Junior Brother Nalan. How strange."
Pei Yi didn't care. He was very tough and was not afraid of any conspiracy or plot.
The young man shrugged and said calmly, "Since Senior Brother Lu is so unfilial, I will go and take care of the dean."
When Wu Haoran heard this, he was stunned. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. He asked in surprise, "Junior Brother Pei, you don't want the dean to accept you as a disciple, do you?"
"I'm not interested in finding another father for myself." Pei Yi rolled his eyes and replied. Then he lowered his gaze to the attic. One child was enough for him to worry about.
Wu Haoran: ..., it seems there is nothing wrong with it.
