The next morning.
Qin Si and Qin Huai Ru finished breakfast and prepared to return to the village.
Guan Xue stayed in the cave.
After talking with Qin Si last night, she chose to believe him and did not return to White Tiger Mountain.
"You have to tell me your plan, don't you?"
Guan Xue asked unwillingly.
"You can have a future if you survive."
Qin Si said.
Last night, he only suggested that Guan Xue stay in this cave. This place is very secluded.
The chance of being discovered is very small.
If Guan Xue is really discovered, she can only blame her bad luck.
Qin Si had no choice.
He can't bring her back to the village now.
The bandits haven't been wiped out yet. She has a risk of being recognized and implicating Qin Si.
Qin Si wouldn't take such a big risk.
Everything has to wait until the dust settles.
It will take at least half a month.
"There's enough food. I'll go hunting in the mountains and come to see you. If you want to leave, feel free to do so."
Qin Si finished speaking and left with Qin Huai Ru.
"Go to hell!"
Guan Xue cursed at Qin Si's back:
"If you dare to harm me, I will haunt you as a ghost."
Now, she has no choice.
Staying at White Tiger Mountain is waiting to die. The army may attack White Tiger Mountain at any time.
Following Qin Si's advice and staying here gives her a chance to survive.
Although she doesn't know why Qin Si wants to help her, what else can she do besides believing this man?
"This guy wouldn't have taken a liking to me, would he?"
Guan Xue's eyes lit up. The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
She has nothing now, except for this beautiful body and face.
What else is worth Qin Si risking for her?
…
On the edge of the forest, the sun sets in the west.
The last vestiges of light linger, ready to take away the world's last glimmer of light.
The figures of Qin Si and Qin Huai Ru slowly emerge.
Due to Qin Si's leg injury, their pace is very slow.
But they finally managed to leave the forest.
"Brother Qin Si, we're back."
Seeing the familiar Qin family village, Qin Huai Ru's face lit up with joy, and she was extremely excited.
She relaxed a lot.
She doesn't have to be on edge anymore.
Qin Si also breathed a sigh of relief. Life in the forest wasn't easy.
In comparison, life in Qin family village is so happy.
"Let's go, first go to your house and let Uncle Dong take a look at your leg."
Qin Si said.
Because he saw the white clothes Chen Yue Lian put in the interdimensional space.
So he knew she was safe.
Qin Si decided to go to Qin Huai Ru's house first to put medicine on her dad's injured leg.
He would also tell them about Qin Huai Ru and him.
"Okay."
Qin Huai Ru lowered her head shyly, holding onto Qin Si's arm.
The two walked into the village.
The night is hazy, the winter is cold.
Everyone is hiding indoors, not even a single shadow was seen along the way.
They arrived at Qin Huai Ru's home.
"Dad, I'm back."
"Huai Ru."
"Sister!"
Qin Dong and Qin Huai An had already gone to sleep.
Hearing Qin Huai Ru's voice, they quickly got up, put on their clothes, and lit the kerosene lamp in the house.
"Oh, Qin Si, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing Qin Si's torn clothes stained with blood, Qin Dong was worried.
Qin Si briefly told them about the situation in the mountains.
Regarding the wolf pack, he only said that he repelled them and drove them away.
He didn't say he killed them all.
To avoid being too sensational.
Qin Huai Ru also added from the side, especially mentioning that Qin Si led the wolf pack away to save her.
"Amazing, Qin Si, I'm truly impressed with you."
Qin Dong was in awe.
If he were in Qin Si's shoes, he, Qin Dong, would definitely not be able to do better than Qin Si.
Although he would also risk his life for his daughter, he would definitely end up as food for the wolf pack.
Qin Si was only injured, and he managed to escape unscathed.
His skills are truly amazing.
Qin Huai An stood on the side with shining eyes. His desire to become Qin Si's disciple never faded.
Now, hearing Qin Si's heroic deeds, his desire became even stronger.
Qin Si waved his hand.
"Uncle Dong, let's not talk about that. Let me take a look at your leg and put some medicine on it."
"Okay."
Qin Si removed the wooden board and cloth bag from Qin Dong's leg and examined it.
It was healing nicely.
Then he took out silver needles and performed acupuncture, and then he put the herbs he collected in the mountains on it.
This was another round of treatment.
"It's done. After applying the medicine, your leg should be fine in a month."
Qin Si stood up, and Qin Huai Ru brought over some hot water.
He washed his hands, Qin Si coughed once, and looked at Qin Dong directly and said:
"Uncle Dong, I have my eyes on Huai Ru. Please agree."
Hearing this.
Qin Huai Ru blushed, fiddling with her fingers with her head down.
Qin Huai An's eyes lit up. If his sister marries Brother Qin Si, then Brother Qin Si would be his... brother-in-law!
Qin Dong laughed heartily. This is the result he was hoping for.
"Good. What does Huai Ru think?"
"Dad, I'm willing."
Qin Huai Ru also knew that now was not the time to be coy. She directly expressed her thoughts.
Her face turned even redder.
"That's good."
Qin Dong smiled and looked at Qin Si, asking:
"Then when will you take Huai Ru away?"
Qin Dong hadn't thought about the wedding, he hadn't even mentioned the dowry.
As long as Qin Si takes Qin Huai Ru home and they start a life together.
Then they will register their marriage in the family tree.
The matter will be considered settled.
"Um..."
Qin Si pondered for a moment, then said:
"Uncle Dong, you know my situation. The only room in my house that can be lived in is one room. I want to wait until the new house is built before I take Huai Ru there. Is that okay?"
Qin Si also wanted to take Qin Huai Ru home soon.
To taste her sweetness.
But there's only one room in his house that can be lived in. The others are either collapsed or dilapidated.
He can't share a bed with Chen Yue Lian, the three of them on one kang, can he?
He wouldn't mind.
Sleeping together under one blanket, the blessing of having two wives, it's a beautiful thing.
But Qin Huai Ru is a virgin.
Chen Yue Lian might not be willing either.
Things aren't done like that.
Qin Si was still hesitating, who knew that Qin Dong waved his hand with a hearty tone and said:
"It's fine, you can come to pick her up tomorrow. One kang is one kang. She's your wife, what are you afraid of? If you live together, you can have children sooner."
"..."
Qin Si is still too conservative. It's mainly that Qin Dong is too bold.
This is his own daughter, and he's saying this in front of her.
"Ahem."
Qin Si coughed and looked at Qin Huai Ru:
"Huai Ru, what do you think?"
Seeing that Qin Si asked his daughter for her opinion and was very loving towards her, Qin Dong felt very satisfied.
Qin Huai Ru hesitated for a moment, then made up her mind.
"Brother Qin Si, I'll listen to my dad. You can come tomorrow."
Okay, they are indeed a family, all of them are impulsive.
Qin Si no longer hesitated and immediately agreed to come and take her tomorrow.
He bid farewell and left. Qin Si prepared to go home to see his wife.
Qin Dong reminded him:
"If Yue Lian is not at home, she should be at the east end of the village. The foundation of your new house was dug these past two days. She is also guarding it at night."
"I understand, Uncle Dong. Huai Ru, I'm going now."
Leaving Qin Huai Ru's house, Qin Si returned home and took a look.
Chen Yue Lian was indeed not at home.
So he set off, rushing towards the east end of the village...
