Chapter 157: Planning (6)

Liu Mei couldn't figure it out.

At the same time, she suddenly felt uneasy.

She walked back to her room and saw Xu Jianlin was still awake, so she stepped forward and patted him, asking, "Do you think your eldest son is a little strange?"

"What?" Xu Jianlin didn't react to who she was talking about for a while, because Liu Mei never called Xu Xu that, either saying he was a bastard or a dead bastard, anyway, whatever was ugly.

"Xu Xu, your eldest son!" Liu Mei glared at him unhappily.

"He... hasn't he always been like this?" Xu Jianlin looked at her in confusion. In his impression, this eldest son was an invisible man from beginning to end, not eating at home, and occasionally not sleeping at home, like a wild man.

It's not that he didn't know how Liu Mei treated him, but for him, a child whose mother died was far less important than his current wife and children.

Liu Mei would become more and more serious like now, and it might be because of his connivance.

"It's different." Liu Mei frowned and said, but she didn't know how to describe it.

"What's the difference? I think you've eaten too much meat and are full."

"Then tell me, where did he get those pheasants and bamboo rats? Do you really believe his lies? Did he pick them up?"

"Did he hunt them?"

"Bah! How old is he? How can he hunt so many prey?"

Xu Jianlin was also impatient and sat up: "Then what's the matter? It's not this, it's not that!"

Liu Mei bit her lip, suddenly looked around, then approached him mysteriously and whispered in his ear: "Do you think he is a monster from the mountains?"

Now, Xu Jianlin looked at her like a fool.

Liu Mei was unhappy with his look and slapped him again.

Tell him the rumors you heard outside: "Do you think I'm the only one saying this? Do you know how Ruan Jiaojiao from next door came back? What is the front mountain? Even Ruan Jiandang didn't come out safely after entering it. Don't you think it's strange that two children of a few years old can come out safely from it?"

"Maybe they are lucky?" Xu Jianlin's tone was also a little uncertain.

Because my ancestors have lived here for generations, I naturally know what the front mountain is. I heard from my parents that when people were starving to death in the past, many people would venture into the front mountain to hunt, but generally they would never come back. Even if they came back, they would be missing arms and legs.

Ruan Jiaojiao and Xu Xu, two children who are just over ten years old, actually stayed in there for a day and a night and came out safely. This is indeed a bit weird.

Could it really be a monster?

"What the hell, this is not a matter of luck, and Ruan Jiaojiao, if ordinary people were to suffer like her, they would have died long ago. But she escaped danger time and time again. If there is no trick, I don't believe it."

"Where did you hear all this?" Xu Jianlin frowned and looked at her.

"Everyone in the team said that no matter how powerful Ruan Linshi is, can she tear everyone's mouth? Besides, a few days ago, many people saw Ruan Linshi carrying things to Qian Xiazi's house. Maybe it was for this little girl's matter."

"Nonsense, it's obviously to ask about the day of groundbreaking." People in the countryside believe this, just hoping for good luck. Even if the family is poor, if there is really something important, they will bring a pound of rice and half a pound of meat to Qian Xiazi to ask, no matter whether it is accurate or not, it's just for good luck.
