Monster Tea Party

Chapter 5483 Kitchen
But how could the young scholar compare to the woodcutter's strength?
……

Seeing that he could no longer hold back, the young scholar broke down and shouted, "I promise you!"

"elder brother!"

"I promise you!"

……

The woodcutter paused.

He looked at the young scholar, "Really?"

"You promised me."

……

The young scholar looked hesitant.

Feeling the force in his hand, he immediately shouted, "Really!"

"I promise you!"

……

The woodcutter did not get up immediately.

The knees are still bent.

"Then you have to keep your word."

"Do you swear to keep your word?"

……

"I swear!"

The young scholar shouted as he tried hard to pull the woodcutter up.

"I swear……"

"What happened today will never happen again!"

……

The woodcutter stared at the young scholar for a while.

Just before the young scholar was about to burst into tears, he slowly stood up straight.

……

The young scholar breathed a sigh of relief.

But he did not dare to let go of the woodcutter's arm immediately.

He still held fast to his woodcutter's arm.

He was really scared.

This really made my brother kneel down. He really wanted to be struck by lightning.

……

"Let's go back."

After receiving the young scholar's promise, the woodcutter decided to stop while he was ahead.

That's all for now.

He promised to give the young scholar three months.

He asked the young scholar to keep his word.

He has to do it himself.

……

The young scholar turned his head.

Even though there were "landslides and tsunamis" on their side, the black monster was not affected at all.

Still eating with relish.

It seems that in its world, nothing is more important than eating.

The young scholar pursed his lips.

The black monster didn't even bother to give him a glance...
……

"Let's go."

The woodcutter spoke again.

"Don't forget what you just promised me."

……

The young scholar opened his mouth.

Want to say something.

But finally, his lips trembled a few times.

He took a step forward silently.

……

The woodcutter looked at the young scholar's back.

He turned his head.

Looked at the direction the young scholar was looking just now.

He saw nothing but branches and leaves.

……

The woodcutter withdrew his gaze.

He strode up to catch up with the young scholar in front of him.

……

The young scholar immediately heard footsteps behind him.

He was stunned.

His footsteps also paused slightly.

But soon, he returned to normal.

The young scholar lowered his eyes.

The vision in front of me is a little blurry.

……

"This way."

The woodcutter stopped the young scholar.

He didn't say anything.

He knew that the young scholar needed time to digest everything that happened tonight.

……

The woodcutter took the young scholar back home.

……

"have a good rest."

The woodcutter reached out and patted the young scholar on the shoulder.

"Get some sleep."

"Let's talk about it tomorrow."

……

The young scholar nodded.

He turned and walked into the study.

……

The woodcutter watched the young scholar disappear behind the door.

After a while, he watched the light in the study light up and dim, then he turned and left.

……

The woodcutter returned to his house.

He climbed onto the bed quietly.

……

"came back?"

The woman spoke.

……

The woodcutter was somewhat startled.

He turned his head.

"…Did it wake you up?"

……

"No."

The woman shook her head.

"I just woke up."

"I noticed you were not here."

"I was wondering where you were going when I saw you come back."

"Did something happen?"

……

"nothing."

The woodcutter smiled.

"Go to sleep."

"I'll tell you tomorrow when I get up."...

"it is good."

The woman didn't force it.

She nodded.

She was still sleepy.

Since the woodcutter said he would tell her tomorrow morning, it shouldn't be an urgent matter.

This made her feel a little more relaxed.

Then she guessed...

Probably something about my younger brother...

……

It can keep the woodcutter awake most of the night...

There is nothing else to do except my brother's matter.

……

younger brother……

Is there any new problem?

With this question in mind, the woman quickly fell asleep.

The woodcutter smiled slightly.

He was face up.

He stared at the ceiling of the bed for a while.

I closed my eyes unconsciously.

Anyway...

I found some problems today.

But it also solved some problems.

It can be considered as neither merit nor demerit.

……

The next morning, smoke rose from the kitchen.

The woman's hands were busy and her mouth was not idle either.

"Now can you tell me what happened last night?"

……

The flames from the stove cast a shadow on the woodcutter's face, making his expression unclear.

……

The woodcutter stood up.

"last night……"

He twitched the corner of his mouth.

"I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't fall asleep, so I got up and walked around the yard."

……

what?
The woman was a little surprised.

Did you just wake up in the middle of the night and feel not sleepy?

She did not rush to interrupt the woodcutter.

She waited patiently for what was to come.

……

"I walked into my brother's yard without realizing it..."

……

Hey?
The woman was stunned.

Or is it about my younger brother?

It seems she was right.

……

Thinking of the situation at that time, the woodcutter couldn't help but frown.

"I found the door of my brother's study open."

……

"Open?"

The woman couldn't help but exclaim softly.

"He went out?"

……

"I do not know."

The woodcutter shook his head. "I'll go into the house and check it out right away."

"I searched the whole house..."

"I didn't find my brother."

"I went to look in other houses..."

“Still haven’t found it.”

……

"what?"

The woman's mouth opened slightly.

"Brother...did he really go outside?"

……

"I think so."

The woodcutter nodded.

"But I don't know where he went?"

"I don't know which direction I should go to find him when I walk out the door."

……

The woman nodded.

indeed.

In the middle of the night I discovered that my brother was missing.

No clue at all.

Who knows where my brother went?

but……

Since the woodcutter came back later...

It means the woodcutter has found his brother.

Otherwise, the woodcutter would not be able to sleep peacefully.

So……

How did the woodcutter find his brother?
The woman was very curious.

……

"luck."

The woodcutter smiled.

"Because I really don't know which direction to look..."

"I just went in a direction that I was familiar with."

……

"A familiar direction?"

The woman murmured.

where is that?

……

"It's the direction of the mountain."

The woodcutter curled up the corners of his mouth.

.....
Oh ~
The woman suddenly realized.

The woodcutter goes into the mountains almost every day.

For the woodcutter, the direction of the mountain is indeed the most familiar direction.

……

“I’m heading toward the mountain.”

The woodcutter recalled how nervous he was when he was walking on the road, and felt quite emotional.

After all, if you choose the wrong direction...

Many things are probably... too late.

He couldn't choose the wrong direction.

But at that time, his choice was really just luck.

He had no basis to rely on.

As for why my brother left home in the middle of the night...

He can say...
