Just then the captain arrived and saw that only a few people were gathered under the locust tree, his brow furrowed instantly.

  The captain's surname is Li, and his name is Man Cang. He has some relatives with the Li family, so he specially took care of the mother and daughter.

  Li Man Cang is over 40 years old, 1.8 meters tall and looks very sturdy. He has a good reputation in Li Jia Village because he is affable and gets along well with others.

  "How come there are so few people? Didn't you hear my time requirement?"

  "Full grain, you go into the village and urge them on. Give them half an hour more time, after that we will leave first."

  "And let them hurry up and pack lightly, this time going up the mountain, there's no extra space or manpower to carry unnecessary things!"

  When Li Man Cang was furious, no one noticed that the half-sized child standing next to him suddenly put on a plastic cloth and squeezed into the crowd.

  With a clear goal in mind, he headed straight for Li Hua and her mother.

  He stood awkwardly in front of the mother and daughter, but they just glanced at him and walked away.

  Because people in the village kept their distance from them, they also never took the initiative to speak up.

  His approach was noticed by others long ago, and as a result, he retreated when he came here.

  This made the young man a bit embarrassed, seeing Li Hua carrying sweet potatoes on his back, he actively pulled him.

  "Auntie, give me some food and I'll help you carry it!"

  His voice had a clear and pleasant tone that was unique to young people, and it sounded very nice. Li Xiang raised his head when he said this sentence.

  Although the light was dim and only a rough outline could be seen, he was drawn to Li Xiang's line of sight in an instant due to his familiar performance.

  Soon she was surprised to find that this face was a bit like the boy who had appeared in front of her on a certain night five years ago, and whom she had been fond of.

  As if sensing her gaze, the young man lowered his eyes and looked at the little girl who was as green as a small radish head, squatted down to touch her head, and smiled slightly.

  "Hello little girl, it's been five years since we last met, you're getting prettier and prettier!"

  This warm smile, like a spring breeze, immediately tickled her heart, and that head-petting move, she didn't dislike it at all.

  Even feel sweet in heart?

  Li Xiang absolutely refused to admit that a twenty-nine-year-old university student like himself could be flirted with by a handsome young man ten years his junior.

  Subconsciously, he grabbed his mother's hand.

  Li Hua took advantage of the faint light to get a clear look at his appearance and always felt that it was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.

  "Thank you, I can carry it, no problem!" she said with a smile.

  As for the five years he mentioned, Li Hua was surprised but didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just a rumor in the village.

  "Auntie, you should still have some food at home. Give me this bag and I'll help you carry it. You can carry the rest back later."

  "We won't be able to come down from the mountain for at least ten days or half a month, and possibly even longer."

  "And it's best to bring a portable stove or something, so you can cook a meal. When hiking up the mountain, everyone is on their own and doesn't eat together!"

  The young man's thinking is clear, his voice has not yet reached the breaking point, and it sounds very good.

  His familiar reminder made Li Hua astonished, but made Li Xiang even more determined, he was the boy five years ago.

  What status do they have in the village, Li Hua is clear, this cold and suddenly there is a strange child coming to help her, can't help but make her suspect.

  But the child's clear and bright eyes made her hesitate for a moment.

  "Whose child are you? Why haven't I seen your parents?"

  If there were adults around, they would never let their own children come into contact with them.

  She thought the familiarity she felt was because of living in a village.

  Unexpectedly, the young man listened and bowed deeply to Li Hua.

  "Auntie, have you forgotten me? Five years ago, at the town hospital,"

  Li Hua's heart skipped a beat, and her thin face was filled with surprise after a moment of stunned silence.

  "You, you're that kid?"

  Murong Chui bowed again to Li Hua.

  "Auntie, I'm Muran, I'm 10 years old this year. From now on, please take care of me!"
