Chapter 259 Grandfather and Grandson Go Up the Mountain
In contrast, Liu Yingcai was not treated so well.
After he finally recovered, he still had to endure the slavery of his old wife.
Of course, that will all come later, the current situation is this.
As soon as Zhufu saw his granddaughter coming out, he rushed forward to greet her. Even Grandma Liu, who came out with Liu Xiaoxiao, became the one being questioned.
But Grandma Liu didn't rush to answer him, because she wanted to cut the bamboo before dark!
So the final result was that all those people who knew that Liu Xiaoxiao had a space had to go to the mountains to cut bamboo.
"What? We have to go to the mountains to cut bamboo? Aren't there any around our village?" Liu Xiaoxiao asked in surprise.
Zhufu stroked his beard and replied, "Yes, I do, but you don't want just one or two this time. If we cut them all in the village, it would be difficult to explain if someone asked us about it."
Liu Yingcai agreed, "Yes, and there's another advantage to cutting bamboo in the mountains. No matter how much we cut, you can immediately collect it. This can indirectly save us a lot of time!"
Liu Xiaoxiao nodded as she listened. After her grandfather finished speaking, she realized belatedly, "That's not right! Grandpa, I'm not worried about saving time at all, okay?
What I’m worried about is that given the current situation in our village, if we go up the mountain now, wouldn’t it be as dangerous as a sheep entering a tiger’s mouth?”
"And on the foretelling map in my space today, I saw the two people who caused our entire village to faint. It seems they also carried out the poisoning in the mountains. Even so, are you still going?"
After hearing Liu Xiaoxiao say that she was in the space again and saw the new foreshadowing picture, Liu Yingcai and Zhufu both stopped preparing to go out.
At the same time, Grandma Liu pushed Liu Xiaoxiao into the house and asked, "Are you sure the bad guys are in the mountains? Then why didn't you see anyone these two days when so many people went into the mountains?"
Liu Xiaoxiao: "This... I don't know! They must have seen that there were so many of us, so they hid themselves!"
Liu Yingcai interrupted, "It's also possible that they've left temporarily. You've forgotten what you said when you came back after exploring the cave today!"
Liu Xiaoxiao: "That being said, what if they suddenly come back today?"
After hearing their analysis, Grandma Liu really didn't want her family to take risks, but she was reluctant to give up the winter melons in the space.
Finally, she said tentatively, "It shouldn't be such a coincidence! If we had avoided the cave you were looking at today, we wouldn't have encountered them."
When Liu Yingcai saw his wife's conflicted look, he had already made up his mind.
They must go, but for safety reasons, he doesn't plan to let everyone go.
So his arrangement was that he and Liu Xiaoxiao would go and chop the trees, while Grandma Liu and Zhufu would stay behind to provide cover.
As soon as she finished speaking, Grandma Liu was about to object, but Liu Yingcai raised her hand to stop her, saying, "Don't be impatient. Listen to me first before you refute me."
Grandma Liu raised her chin and signaled him to hurry up.
Grandpa Liu then explained, "Isn't Xiaoxiao's dimension now open to one person? I thought, just in case, we should just go with the two of us. That way, if we really run into that group of people, we can hide inside."
Zhufu said, "But if you do that, won't your bamboo-cutting speed be too slow? How long will it take for you to cut all the bamboo you need?"
Liu Yingcai: "Don't worry about that. I've been digging in the soil all my life. It's just a matter of chopping a few bamboos. It's quick. Just wait at home!"
Grandma Liu had no objection to her husband's words. In the end, she only reminded Grandpa Liu, "Then you must go early and come back early. No matter whether you have chopped enough or not, you must come back before dark. I plan to make sweet potato stew for you tonight! If you come back late, don't blame us for having eaten it all."
Liu Yingcai knew that she was saying this on purpose because she was worried about them, so he jokingly replied, "Okay, then you have to put more meat in this time. I'll be tired of chopping it, but I'll eat a lot."
Grandma Liu waved her hand and told them to leave quickly.
Zhufu, who was also unable to go up the mountain, could only watch the two people leave and warned them, "Be sure to pay attention to safety."
After Liu Xiaoxiao heard her grandfather's arrangement, she was no longer worried. She patted her chest and said to her grandma and grandpa, "Don't worry, I'm here. Just wait at home!"
