Chapter 89: Chapter 89 The Fascinated Youngster_1

As Nanzhi wished, Shen Wenchen brought a group including Shiyi to visit many households in the village before he left.

Tall, strong men dressed in black, tightly fitting clothes with their bows and arrows polished and shining on their backs looked like they were not to be trifed with.

Knowing there were a few in the village with ill intentions, Shen Wenchen didn’t waste words. He led the group to hammer a few punches on the doors of those households, then dusted off his hands and walked away.

Leaving only a few deep dents in the tree trunks.

"Daddy, remember to write letters to me and mommy!" Shen Zhiyu shouted, stretching on tiptoes to wave at the man on horseback.

"Okay, Daddy will write letters to you and mommy."

"Sister-in-law, thank you for taking care of us these days! Next time I’ll come with Big Brother Shen to eat the meals you cook!"

Shiyi chuckled, but then he suddenly saw Aunt Guihua staring at him from the side and quickly rode his horse to the back of the crowd.

He always felt that the old lady’s gaze was a bit strange.

Shen Miaomiao hesitated as she watched Shier nearby, fidgeting for a long time before hurrying over as they were about to leave.

A girl in her mid-teens was like a blossoming flower, and Shen Miaomiao, who was naturally beautiful, had not worn her usual coarse clothing today. She wore a light yellow silk skirt and had her hair done into a pretty bun, seemingly dressed up for the occasion.

Seeing the person blocking his way, Shier was momentarily taken aback.

After a brief silence, it was Shen Miaomiao who couldn’t help but speak first, "You, you’re leaving now?"

Viewing her shy demeanor, Shier’s face inexplicably turned red, and it took him a while to manage a hum of agreement.

The young man’s voice was gentle as water, his handsome face blushed, even his ears were reddening as though they were tinged with the color of ripe berries.

Shen Miaomiao felt her heart beat even faster, but fearing her coyness would delay their departure, she quickly took out the embroidered pouch she made, "This, this is for you."

Since Shier was thirteen and had followed his father into the military camp, he hadn’t seen much of women, and now he seemed at a loss watching Shen Miaomiao’s gesture.

Unsure whether to accept or refuse, he could only cast a pleading look towards Shen Wenchen.

But when he looked over, he saw that Wenchen was busy speaking with Dashan and didn’t glance his way at all.

The other brothers, on the other hand, wore teasing smiles, clearly enjoying the spectacle.

Seeing that he didn’t take the pouch, Shen Miaomiao felt a bit disappointed, but didn’t insist and put the pouch away, forcing a smile, "Then, then take care on the road, and don’t forget to eat."

After speaking, she retreated to stand beside Nanzhi.

Noticing her dejection, Shier felt an inexplicable twinge in his heart, but before he could say anything else, he saw Shen Wenchen had already said his farewells to Dashan and was waving to everyone to start moving.

"Wenchen, take care on the road!" Nanzhi forced herself to control the goosebumps on her arms, her smiling face slightly stiff.

Calling him Wenchen felt so awkward!

"Daddy’s going to beat up lots of goblins!" The little guy waved his wooden toy sword, his small face flushed with excitement, looking adorably eager.

"Good, I’ll come back to pick you and mommy up soon," Shen Wenchen said, looking at Nanzhi with determination.

He would come back for them after the mission was completed.

Only after the group of six had ridden their horses out of Lihua Village did Nanzhi hug her still waving son and head for home.

"Girl, do you want to come with us to East Mountain this afternoon?" Liu Daniu fanned herself while looking towards Nanzhi.

"What for?"

"It’s nice and cool on East Mountain!" Aunt Guihua initially wanted to inquire if Shiyi was married, but seeing her daughter showed no interest, she let go of the thought.

Now, hearing Nanzhi’s question, she squeezed through the crowd to say.

"Everyone’s agreed to go up to East Mountain to escape the heat! If you’re coming, bring some food for lunch later, and we’ll wait for the afternoon sun to set before heading back." Liu Da Niang laughed with her eyes squinting. The scorching heat was one thing, but with not a single weed in the fields, the whole family would be stuck at home, fearing the heat might even bring on sickness.

Better to take the children to the mountain to cool off.

"Eh, sure, I’ll join you later." Hearing Liu Da Niang’s words, Nanzhi also thought it would be a good idea to take Zhiyu to the mountain to escape the heat, as there was nothing much to do at home anyway. She quickly nodded in agreement.

"Alright, we’ll come to get you when we set off!"

After setting the plan to go to the mountain to cool off, everyone hurried home to prepare the food to take along.

Aunt Guihua sighed as she saw her daughter looking downcast, then took her hand and said, "Let’s go back and change your clothes quickly; we’ll follow them to the mountain to escape the heat in a bit."

"Mother, I, I feel unwell." The young girl pouted, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Silly child." Aunt Guihua stroked her daughter’s head, not blaming her for anything.

Who hasn’t been through the pangs of young love?

Back then, she too had faced many setbacks before finally getting together with her man.

Shen Miaomiao watched her reminisce about the past and shook her head. Her mother must be thinking about her and father’s old story again.

Since she was young, she and her brother had heard their mother recount their past days over and over.

Thinking of her own love that had withered before it could bloom, she felt a suffocating gloom and nodded before heading home.

There probably wouldn’t be another chance to meet in the future.

Thinking of the young man’s face, the girl pouted and finally let her tears fall.

Shen Wenchen and his party had just left Lihua Village not far behind when Eleven noticed that Twelve was feeling a bit off.

Recalling the recent incident, he nodded with understanding and rode his horse over to Twelve.

"What’s the matter with you? Did you lose your soul or something?"

Hearing his brother’s mocking tone, Twelve was unsure whether to speak up but thinking Eleven was usually the cleverest, he finally moved closer and asked softly, "Eleven Brother, do you think I should have accepted the embroidered purse just now?"

Seeing his frustration, Eleven laughed and turned to ask, "Have you taken a fancy to that young girl?"

"I, I don’t know..."

Twelve looked conflicted, thinking of the girl who always had a smile in her eyes. He felt lost as he had been following Brother Dashan to teach the villagers to hunt and would always encounter her coming over with her brother.

Though the two of them didn’t interact much, the thought of her face made his heart race.

"If you have feelings for her, Brother advises you to go back once," said Eleven, looking at his shy demeanor seriously.

His brother had entered the army at thirteen and had been traveling with them for four years. It would be a shame if he missed his first crush because of this.

These days, he had often seen Shen Miaomiao together with their sister-in-law, and gathered that a friend of his sister-in-law was probably a nice girl too.

Twelve’s face turned bright red, confused about his own feelings.

"Then, you guys wait for me."

After hesitating for a while, the young man made up his mind and spurred his black-hoofed horse towards the girl.

Ever since joining the army, he hadn’t thought about marrying, but recalling the girl with stars in her eyes, he felt his heart beat furiously in his chest.

If it were her, he would do everything in his power to protect her for life.

The horse’s hooves kicked up clouds of dust, not just the scorching wind, but also a young man’s heart full of expectation...
