Chapter 725 You Touch It
The gate rang again.
Liu Meiling pushed open the door and immediately saw Wenwen. She paused, her eyes widened, her mouth opened, and her expression changed from confusion to surprise.
"Are you... Wenwen?"
He walked over quickly, his eyes scanning Wenwen's face several times, growing brighter with each look.
"Oh my, it's been so many years! You're still as beautiful as you were when you were a child!"
Wenwen smiled a little shyly and greeted, "Hello, Aunt Liu."
Liu Meiling took her hand and looked her up and down, from her face to her clothes, from her clothes to her shoes, making clicking noises under her breath.
Hongxia stood to the side, watching her mother's expression, a slight smile playing on her lips, and asked, "Mom, have you seen enough?"
Liu Meiling glared at her and said, "Go away, go away."
She turned back to Wenwen, holding her hand tightly, and asked, "Where did you two meet? It's been so many years, maybe... ten years?"
Wenwen nodded, her voice soft, "It was just a coincidence."
Liu Meiling took Wenwen's hand and sat down next to the stone table, patting the stone bench beside them.
"Wenwen, sit closer so Auntie can take a good look at you. It's been so many years since I last saw you. You look exactly the same as when you were little. I recognized you at a glance."
Wenwen sat down next to her, smiled slightly, and said softly, "Auntie, you haven't changed at all."
"I haven't changed? I've gotten old, my hair's all white." Liu Meiling touched her temples, sighed, and held Wenwen's hand tightly. "Wenwen, how have you been all these years? Where are you working now? Are you married?"
Hongxia, quick to speak, interrupted Wenwen before she could say anything: "Mom, she works at the Qianmen Railway Station Police Station now. She's amazing; she does the work of several people."
Liu Meiling glared at her: "Did I ask you? Let Wenwen tell you herself."
Hongxia chuckled and shut up.
Wenwen pursed her lips: "Auntie, I'm fine. I work at the police station, live alone, and I'm doing okay."
Liu Meiling's eyes reddened as she listened, and she patted Wenwen's hand: "Your parents sacrificed their lives, and it must have been tough for you to live alone all these years. It's been so hard for a young girl like you."
"Thankfully, we made it through."
Liu Meiling patted Wenwen's hand: "Wenwen, you're not young anymore, it's time to settle down. Don't worry, Auntie knows a lot of people, I'll introduce you to a good one later. The young man should have good character, a good job, and his family's financial situation should be similar—"
Hongxia grew anxious and raised her voice by half an octave.
"Mom! Don't try to play matchmaker! Wenwen has no intention of doing anything like that!"
She paused, then lowered her voice, "My sister and I aren't getting married. Wouldn't it be nice to keep each other company?"
Liu Meiling glared at her: "You're not worried about finding a partner yourself, you're always running around outside, and I haven't even said anything to you! Now you won't let me introduce someone to Wenwen? You're asking for trouble again!"
Hongxia hid behind Wenwen with a grin, tilting her head to look at Liu Meiling: "Mom, Wenwen is here today, why aren't you giving her any face? Let's talk about it when we get home."
Liu Meiling was so annoyed by her shameless behavior that she laughed and poked her forehead: "You, you, you don't know how shameless you are!"
Hongxia covered her forehead and chuckled foolishly.
Xiuer and Zixia, the two little girls, huddled together, watching the commotion and laughing heartily.
At this moment, Chang Kun came in through the door carrying a sack.
Xiuer was the first to see it. She ran over and hugged Chang Kun's leg, exclaiming, "Big brother! You've brought back something good again! Let me see it!"
Zixia ran over too, standing on tiptoe to peek at the sack, shouting, "I want to see too! I want to see too!"
Hongxia pulled Wenwen over as well. Chang Kun took the sack off his shoulder and untied the rope at the top of the sack.
Xiuer reached in and touched something soft. She pulled her hand back and saw that her hand was covered in dark red. She wasn't scared. She even rubbed it on her clothes and then reached in again.
Zixia watched from the side, wrinkled her nose, and didn't dare to reach out.
Xiuer pulled a squirrel out of the sack. Its fluffy tail drooped down and swayed back and forth. She exclaimed, "What a big greyhound!"
Zixia's expression changed, and she pouted, "Big brother, why did you kill the little squirrel's parents?"
She keeps several squirrels at home and feeds them all the time. After a while, she felt that all squirrels in the world are one family.
Xiuer rolled her eyes, waved the greyhound in front of Zixia, and spoke with a hint of disdain.
"What did you say? If you're so capable, then don't eat it later, I'll eat it for you. This meat is delicious!"
Hongxia squatted down, rolled up her sleeves, and reached into the sack to rummage through it, pulling out items one by one like she was searching for treasure.
He picked up a donkey leg, which was heavy and shiny. He weighed it in his hand and exclaimed "Oh!"
She pulled out another lamb leg, smaller than a donkey's thigh, covered with a thin layer of fat, and cried out again.
He looked up at Chang Kun, his eyes full of surprise: "Brother, where did you get so much stuff in such a short time?"
Chang Kun casually replied, "I got it from another hunter. I'll return it to them when I have time. Hurry up and help me clean it up; I'll make a nice meal tonight."
Hongxia didn't ask any more questions. She reached into the sack again and pulled out two pheasants, their feathers still undone and multicolored.
"Oh! There are two pheasants too! Their feathers are beautiful. I'll make shuttlecocks for Xiuer later."
He threw the pheasant on the ground, then reached in again and touched something long and slippery. He pinched it with his fingers; it was soft and elastic.
Her eyes widened suddenly, and she pulled out a large snake, as thick as an arm, its body coiled and its tail swaying slightly.
"Wow! That snake was huge! It startled me!"
Hongxia shouted, picked up the snake, swung it around twice in her hand with great force, and then charged towards Zixia and Xiuer, all while making a sound.
"Haha!! The snake's here... it's specifically targeting you two kids!"
Zixia screamed "Ah!" and turned to run away, hiding behind Liu Meiling. She grabbed her mother's clothes, poked her head out, her face pale and her voice trembling with tears.
"Mom! Please do something about her! I'm never playing with her again! Waaah..."
Xiuer, however, was not afraid at all.
She reached out her little hand and snatched the snake from Hongxia's hand. The snake's body was thicker than her arm. She held it in her arms like a scarf, wrapping it around her arm. The snake's head drooped down, swaying back and forth beside her hand.
She ran up to Zixia with a grin, held the snake close, and said with a smug look, "Silly Zixia! Look, it's dead, it won't bite at all, come and touch it..."
