Monster Tea Party

Chapter 5447 No rush

The most important thing for the woodcutter now is to bring the young scholar home.

Don't let anyone find out that there is something wrong with the young scholar.

……

The young scholar was a little hesitant.

But he was hesitant and could not match the woodcutter’s strength.

He was dragged away by the woodcutter.

……

The young scholar turned around.

The well opened its mouth quietly, swallowing the rain water.

It almost took his life.

It's a black monster...
It's... Little Auspicious...

……

As soon as he left the house, the woodcutter started working non-stop.

I immediately went back to the inn to pack my luggage.

Then he set off for home.

……

Running all the way.

Fortunately, we met a bullock cart passing by on the road.

They reached home before dark.

……

The woman paced back and forth at the door.

Look towards the door from time to time.

The repeated disappointments made the woman more and more anxious.

She couldn't help but walk out the door.

Look toward the end of the path.

……

Finally, the woman heard the sound of footsteps.

She was about to show joy, but then she remembered that the woodcutter did not take the car when he went out.

The kicking sound should have nothing to do with the woodcutter.

The woman's face darkened instantly.

……

It’s getting dark…

Why haven't you come back yet?
The woman clenched her hands.

……

The woodcutter jumped out of the car at the intersection.

"Thank you, sir."

The woodcutter grabbed the young scholar's arm and helped him out of the cart.

He frowned.

Although he had noticed it when he carried the young scholar back to the inn, the woodcutter couldn't help but sigh when he felt it again: I have lost so much weight after taking the exam...

……

"Brother, I can do it."

The young scholar motioned to the woodcutter to let go of his hand that was supporting his arm.

He didn't sprain his ankle.

No one is sick.

You need help getting off the car, but you don’t need help even when walking.

……

"Go slower."

The woodcutter did not force it and he withdrew his hand.

"It's already so late, so I don't mind spending a little more time."

……

The young scholar nodded.

After his feet were on the ground, he found that his body was a little dizzy.

really.

A few rains did not have no effect at all.

Even though his brother gave him ginger soup.

……

The woodcutter followed the young scholar.

Pay attention to the status of the young scholar.

To be honest, the woodcutter felt more at ease with the young scholar's quietness on the way back.

Young scholars are not always in a state of madness.

As long as you don't mention the black monster...

The young scholar is just the same as before.

Nothing unusual.

……

what! ?

The woman saw a familiar figure.

She couldn't help but run forward a few steps.

……

Hearing the noise, the woodcutter turned his head.

I saw a woman with a look of surprise on her face.

He smiled.

"We're back."

……

"Ah."

The woman laughed and said,

She looked at the young scholar.

……

"sister in law."

The young scholar greeted warmly.

Nothing unusual.

……

The woman's eyebrows are curved.

"Hey."

"It's good to be back."

"Are you hungry?"

"You are not in a hurry."

"I'll go heat up the food for you first."

The woman turned around and went back to the house in a hurry.

Now that we are back, there is no need to rush to solve any problems.

……

The woodcutter went to the kitchen.

……

"How did you come?"

The woman was a little surprised, "...Is my brother okay?"

After hesitating for a while, she finally asked.

In fact, her brother had not returned home, and she and the woodcutter had almost guessed the reason.

The woman had just secretly observed the young scholar's expression.

It seems that no problems were found.

Could it be that they guessed wrong?

If that was the case... the joy in the woman's eyes quickly disappeared before it even showed up.

She noticed the woodcutter's frown.

"what happened?"

……

The woodcutter shook his head.

He let out a slight sigh.

He opened his mouth.

After a while, he shook his head again.

"I'll tell you tonight."

"Let's eat first."

"Everyone is hungry."

"You haven't eaten yet?"

The woodcutter looked at the woman with some disapproval, "You can eat first."

"No need to wait for us."

Why wait for them with an empty stomach?
……

The woman suppressed her worries.

She raised the corners of her mouth.

"If you don't come back, I won't be able to eat in peace."

Even if I eat it, it won’t taste good.

"Why not wait for you to come back and eat together?"

……

The woodcutter shook his head.

He reached out and picked up the food.

"Then come and eat."

"Don't starve yourself."

……

At the dining table, for a moment, the only sound was the slight collision of chopsticks and plates.

No one speaks.

……

The woman glanced at the woodcutter furtively.

The woodcutter gave the woman a piece of meat.

"eat."

“Don’t just eat the vegetables.”

"Eat more meat."

……

The woman nodded.

She looked at the young scholar.

I thought of a topic for conversation.

"This meat is from the wild boar your brother caught."

"It smells so good."

"Brother, you've worked hard."

"Eat more meat to replenish your body."

"It's only been a few days..."

The woman was a little surprised, but also a little sympathetic, "Everyone has lost weight."

Sure enough, what the others said was right.

An examination is nothing less than an experience for candidates.

It’s so hard...

……

"He asked for it."

The woodcutter couldn't help but mutter under his breath.

If only the young scholar had gone home obediently after taking the exam and seeing the results, instead of walking into someone else's house in a daze...

I got caught in the rain for several times.

Let yourself go crazy...

Nor will you make a mess of yourself.

In just a few days, I lost a lot of weight.

……

"what?"

The woman didn't hear the woodcutter's mumbling clearly.

She subconsciously leaned over and asked, "Husband, what did you say?"

……

"nothing."

The woodcutter shook his head.

The woodcutter didn't want to mention those bad things in front of the young scholar unless the young scholar brought it up.

Well.

Things that made him feel bad.

……

I wonder if this is a bad thing for young scholars?

……

The woman seemed to realize something and nodded.

No further questions were asked.

……

"Brother, try the snake meat too."

The woman continued to greet him, "This is also the snake your brother caught in the mountains."

“It tastes delicious.”

"It can be repaired."

……

After dinner, the young scholar returned to his study.

The woodcutter and the woman followed.

"younger brother."

The woodcutter warned the young scholar, "You have been tired these past few days."

"Take a good rest for a few days before you start studying."

"Do not force."

"If you really get sick, it will be more trouble than gain."

……

The young scholar nodded.

He looked at the woman.

"sister in law."

"Please make me some steamed buns tomorrow."

The first time he saw the black monster was because the monster stole his steamed buns.

This time, he also wanted to use steamed buns to lure out the black monster.

……

The woman was slightly stunned.

She glanced at the woodcutter subconsciously.

Then nodded.

"it is good."

"Sister-in-law will make you steamed buns tomorrow."

"You have a good rest today."

"Tomorrow I'll have delicious steamed buns to eat."
