Chapter 69: Chapter 14

After a hearty breakfast, Li Sanjiang and the others were ready to set out.

The family actually owned a manual tricycle with a long plank at the back, which was used to deliver tables, chairs, and dishes for events, but Run Sheng didn’t know how to ride, and the elders didn’t dare let him learn on the spot today.

Therefore, Run Sheng pushed out a handcart from the storage room, it was quite spacious at the front, and after Li Sanjiang, Liu Jinxia, and Mr. Shan settled down, Run Sheng grabbed the handlebars to level the cart, and then pushed the three elders down the dam quite smoothly.

It had to be said that Run Sheng, after a full meal, had an unnervingly great strength.

Yet watching their receding figures, Li Zhiyuan still felt uneasy inside. After all, he couldn’t deny that this was a very standard... group of the old, weak, sick, disabled, and young.

The home returned to its usual tranquility.

Uncle Qin was chopping wood on the dam to make paper frames, Aunt Liu was on the first floor coloring the newly crafted paper figures, Liu Yumei was sitting at the door of the east room drinking tea, and on the second floor, at the southeast corner, Li Zhiyuan and Qin Li were reading books.

He was still doing the same as the last two days, timing it so Qin Li would come downstairs to use the bathroom, drink water, and have some snacks. Whenever they passed by Liu Yumei, he would still flash her a smile and greet her.

Liu Yumei also saw, above her head, the boy taking a break after a long reading session to seriously perform a set of radio calisthenics.

However, half an hour before lunchtime, Li Zhiyuan closed the book. He didn’t go into the room to fetch another one but instead looked at Qin Li seriously:

"Alii, I’m worried about Grandmaster and the others being in danger, so I need to go check on them. Is it okay for you to wait for me at home?"

Qin Li did not respond.

Li Zhiyuan stood up, went downstairs, and Qin Li followed him down, but while Li Zhiyuan took out the keys to enter the basement, Qin Li headed to the east room.

Liu Yumei asked in surprise, "What’s the matter?"

These past two days, her granddaughter had been waking up early, which had also advanced the time she had to get her granddaughter dressed and made up.

Wasn’t it just to read with Little Yuanhou early on?

But now, nearing noon, why did her granddaughter want to return to her room alone?

Had the two kids quarreled?

No, could her Alii even quarrel?

Soon after, Liu Yumei saw Little Yuanhou holding a Peach Wood Sword, coming out. Oh, so it seemed that they hadn’t quarreled. If her granddaughter had truly become angry, this boy wouldn’t be jumping around lively.

Li Zhiyuan approached Uncle Qin and said, "Uncle Qin, I want to go to town to buy some things."

"Alright, tell me what you want to buy, and I’ll get it for you."

"I would like to pick it out myself; please give me a ride there, Uncle Qin."

Uncle Qin put down the stick in his hand, patted his hands, and nodded, "Okay."

But he still asked again, "Are you going to Shinan Town?"

"Shinan Town is too small; let’s go to Shigang Town next door."

Shinan Town only has a cross street with some shops, indeed no match for the adjacent Shigang Town, which has department stores, dance halls, karaoke bars, and other venues. Villagers from several nearby towns who want to buy major items or seek entertainment would go to Shigang Town.

The Niu family was located in the village just below Shigang Town, which was also the destination of Li Sanjiang and the others.

Uncle Qin, looking at Li Zhiyuan, suddenly smiled and changed his mind, "It’s busy today, let’s go to Shigang Town tomorrow instead."

"No, Uncle Qin, I want to go."

"You want to go to your Grandmaster’s place?"

"Yes, and buy some things on the way."

"Yuanhou, your Grandmaster is out working, and my job is to farm at home, help with paper-making, and deliver tables and chairs. Your Grandmaster’s work is something I don’t get involved in."

"Yes, I know." Li Zhiyuan lifted the Peach Wood Sword, "Grandmaster also instructed me to remind him to bring this last night, but I forgot this morning and just remembered. So, please take me to Shigang, I need to give it to Grandmaster. This is Grandmaster’s treasure; he can’t be without it."

In Li Zhiyuan’s description, the Peach Wood Sword seemed to have become a significant tool for Demon Slaying and supporting the Righteous path, but he still carefully covered the bottom of the sword handle with his hand, concealing the word "Shandong Lin Yi Furniture Factory."

Uncle Qin was startled; indeed, delivery was one of his job responsibilities, but he clearly heard an underlying intent in the boy’s words.

"Alright, give the sword to me, and I will deliver it to your Grandmaster."

Li Zhiyuan took the Peach Wood Sword away, saying, "Uncle Qin, you forgot, I also need to buy things, I have to go with you."

"Then wait a moment."

Uncle Qin walked towards Liu Yumei, who was sitting there drinking tea, and said something softly to her. Liu Yumei looked up at Li Zhiyuan, who was standing in the distance, and with a smile tinged with emotion, she said:

"That Li Sanjiang doesn’t realize the good fortune he’s in, but this child is someone with delicate thoughts. He has seen that our foundation is not ordinary, no, he has seen the underlying tone."

Seeing that they were in a favorable condition was just the first layer. To perceive another background—that’s the second layer.

"So what should I do?"

Liu Yumei didn’t rush to answer but picked up her tea bowl and took a sip.

The child probably had made up his mind early on, but still, he was able to keep his composure doing the same things as the previous days. Clearly worried to death about his Grandmaster, yet there was no sign of impatience or restlessness.

Recalling him passing by her earlier with Alii, smiling and greeting her, the tea in Liu Yumei’s cup formed little ripples.

Such a composed mind... where is that like a child?

"You might as well accompany him," she paused, then added, "But you need to make things clear to the child on the way."

"I understand."

Uncle Qin walked back to Li Zhiyuan, "Yuanhou, just wait. I’ll go roll out the bike."
