After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 128

Chapter 128: Sharp Tongue Uncle, Are You Asking for Trouble?
“Gift?” Zhouzhou was momentarily puzzled. “What gift?”

“I don’t know. It was just delivered by someone. Do you want to go back and have a look?”

“Yes!” Zhouzhou vigorously nodded, turning to Mu Xuan. “Eldest Senior Brother, are you going?”

“I’ll stay home and accompany Grandpa.”

“Alright, then I’ll come to see Grandpa tomorrow. If Eldest Senior Brother has anything, just call my dad.”

“Okay.” Mu Xuan glanced at Qin Lie, nodded slightly towards him, and watched them leave. Seeing Zhouzhou relying so much on Qin Lie, he felt relieved. As long as Qin Lie treated Zhouzhou well, it was enough.

Remembering Zhouzhou’s words about her grandfather’s medicine being problematic, Mu Xuan’s heart sank. He turned around and told the nanny, “Bring me all the medicine Grandpa has taken recently.”

“Yes.”

He wanted to find out who was harming his grandfather.

The Qin residence.

As soon as Zhouzhou got out of the car, a figure rushed towards her.

Zhouzhou’s eyes lit up, and she stretched out her arms to embrace Wangcai, rubbing her cheek against his big head affectionately. “Oh, Wangcai, I missed you so much! I’ve brought some vegetables for you too.”

Saying that, she held him in her arms, opened the car door with one hand, intending to take out the vegetables she had just packed from Mu’s house. However, as soon as Wangcai in her arms heard the word “vegetables,” he immediately became restless and jumped out of her embrace, running away before even stabilizing himself.

“Huh, Wangcai?” Zhouzhou looked at its receding figure in confusion. “Why did you run away?”

Startled by her actions, the mighty King of Beasts, Qin Lie, found him both amusing and helpless. He held Zhouzhou’s hand and walked inside, saying, “Zhouzhou, tigers eat meat.”

“Ah? Is that so? Then why does the tiger Eldest Senior Brother San raise eat vegetables?”

Qin Lie: “…That’s why he ran away.”

Hearing this, Zhouzhou came to a halt.

Qin Lie turned back and saw the little girl touching her chubby double chin, lost in thought. After a while, she suddenly realized something, “So, Eldest Senior Brother San’s tiger ran away because of this. No wonder Wangcai ran when he heard about vegetables.”

She had thought he liked eating them.

Qin Lie couldn’t help but laugh. Zhouzhou grew up in the mountains, whether it was temples or Taoist temples, they all followed a vegetarian diet. So she subconsciously assumed that tigers also ate vegetables.

Fortunately, Zhouzhou only adhered to a vegetarian diet herself and didn’t restrict others. Once she understood this, she didn’t insist. “Well then, I’ll feed Wangcai meat from now on.”

“Alright.” Qin Lie stepped forward and held her hand. “Let’s go and see the gift your master sent.”

“Okay!” Thinking of this, Zhouzhou ran like she was riding a flying fire wheel.

The items hadn’t been put away by Qin Granny yet; they were still on the tea table. Zhouzhou immediately noticed them, and her mouth formed an “o” shape.

There were two large packages in front of her, almost occupying the entire tea table.

When did her master become so generous?

Zhouzhou was curious and walked over to take a look. She saw a letter on top of one of the packages and picked it up.

She had been reciting various scriptures since she was young. Later, she also studied medicine with Li Yuanming. To prevent her from straining her wrists from writing too early, Li Yuanming never taught her how to write; he only required her to recognize and read characters.

As she read the contents of the letter, Zhouzhou couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

The letter was written by Li Yuanming.

【Zhouzhou, see this! Your master has sent you Ginseng King, not a few blades of grass like that old bald donkey next door. Your master is the best to you! Remember it well!】

No wonder her master was so generous this time. He was afraid of being compared to the abbot.

Zhouzhou couldn’t help but cover her mouth and laugh, saying to Qin Lie, “Master is so childish, just like a little kid. Not as mature as I am.”

She no longer competed with her friends.

However, what did her master say he sent? Ginseng King!

It seemed like whatever she wanted, she would get.

Zhouzhou quickly opened the packages and saw a super-sized box inside. She lifted her hand to open it, only to find another box. She exclaimed in surprise and continued opening it, only to find another box.

She suddenly suspected that her master might have intentionally shown off and sent her a bunch of boxes.

Fortunately, Li Yuanming wasn’t that unreliable. It was mainly because he was afraid that once Yi Yun knew about it, he would make fun of him for being stingy, so he really gave her Ginseng King.

After opening eighteen boxes, the last one, the size of a palm, was finally not empty.

Inside, there were slices of ginseng, not large in size, but enough for making medicine.

She would make an Antidote Pill for Grandpa Mu to detoxify him sooner. And she would make a Heart-Protecting Pill for Grandma so that her heart disease could be completely cured.

After making these arrangements, Zhouzhou greeted Qin Lie and ran upstairs to the alchemy room to refine the medicine.

The next day, after finishing breakfast, Zhouzhou took the prepared medicine and headed towards Mu’s house. Just as she stepped out of the door, she ran into Chen Tuo and Ye Lingfeng coming out from the next door.

Seeing them, Ye Lingfeng’s footsteps instantly paused. He suddenly remembered the little girl happily telling him yesterday about their plan to go and register, and for a moment, he didn’t know what was going on, feeling a sense of unease and suffocation in his heart.

Seeing his hesitation, Chen Tuo leaned over and took a look, saying, “Hey, we seem to have quite a connection with this little girl. Always running into her and her dad.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingfeng’s irritability grew stronger, and he frowned, saying with a dark face, “We’re just neighbors. It’s natural to see each other. There’s no such thing as a connection.”

“That’s not necessarily true.” Chen Tuo, oblivious to his anger, spoke as if he lacked insight. “There’s a saying that goes, ‘Those with fate will meet even if they’re thousands of miles apart, while those without fate won’t know each other even if they’re face to face.’ If there’s no connection, even if she stands in front of you, you might not recognize her.”

Hearing this, Ye Lingfeng’s mood worsened, and his gaze turned colder. “You seem to have quite an understanding. Are you thinking of becoming a monk?”

This time, Chen Tuo finally realized that something was wrong. He couldn’t help but tremble and awkwardly say, “Well, boss, I was just joking.”

Ye Lingfeng ignored him and walked out.

In the corner of his eye, he noticed Zhouzhou holding hands with Qin Lie, the little girl hopping and occasionally tilting her head to talk to him, her eyes full of dependence.

Qin Lie also looked down at her, his gaze incredibly gentle, unlike the Qin Lie he knew.

It was evident that the father and daughter had a great relationship.

Ye Lingfeng felt even more stifled, forcing himself to look away and stride towards the car, slamming the door shut with a “bang.”

Hearing the noise, Zhouzhou looked over. “Huh, Sharp Tongue Uncle, who did you offend?”

Who had provoked him?

Chen Tuo walked over with his hands in his pockets, unable to figure out what was wrong with his boss.

He didn’t bother and just greeted Zhouzhou, saying, “Zhouzhou, what are you up to today?”

Zhouzhou shook the bottle in her hand and said, “I’m going to deliver medicine to Grandpa Mu.”

“Oh, I see.” Chen Tuo already knew about her abilities. He was about to chat a bit more when Ye Lingfeng’s voice suddenly came out, “Aren’t you leaving yet?”

Her voice was as low as it could be.

Qin Lie also couldn’t help but turn his head and glance, then slowly averted his gaze.

“Coming, coming.” Chen Tuo quickly responded and waved at Zhouzhou. “Let’s go then.”

Zhouzhou nodded slightly, but then she noticed something, and her brows furrowed. She said, “Wait a moment,” and immediately walked to the side of the car. Unable to reach the car window, she directly reached out and opened the door.

Ye Lingfeng was pinching his brow, but suddenly a sweet milk fragrance reached his nose, causing him to pause involuntarily.

Feeling Zhouzhou getting closer, his breath instinctively stalled.

But Zhouzhou suddenly lifted her hand and moved his hand away, finally getting a clear view of his face. With a serious expression on her plump little face, she said, “Sharp Tongue Uncle, your forehead is turning black. That’s a sign of bad luck.”
