C23 Is That Man Still There?

"Sister, what are you doing!"

The sun had set and dusk was approaching, but Mu Nanzhi was not at home. Instead, she carried a knife and "chopped" at a peach tree by the stream next to her house.

Mu Nanxi nibbled on her Toona Egg Cake, squatting by the side with the same blank look as in the morning.

"Dig something well! Nanxi, how about you pick some mint leaves after you're done eating? "

"Oh, okay!" Mu Nanxi didn't pursue the matter any further. Since Sister said it was a good thing, then it should be.

However, that yellow thing seemed to be the one that killed Grandpa Wang's peach tree.

But if it was a good thing, why did it kill Grandpa Wang's peach tree?

Sister is so strange!

Mu Nanzhi didn't know what Mu Nanxi was thinking, but she was wholeheartedly digging out the peach gum.

One had to know that the amber-like peach juice on the peach tree could be used as medicine and was edible. It was truly a good item.

However, it seemed that no one in the village knew the use of peach gum.

She didn't know if this Peach Blossom could be sold here for money, but she wanted to try it out first. Most people used this Peach Gum to make silver ear soup.

Mu Nanzhi was engrossed in digging out the peach gum, so she didn't care where Mu Nanxi had gone to.

When he saw her again, he saw that her small face had a few black mud marks on it.

"Where did you go to play? You made yourself so dirty."

"Sister, I'm going to pick the mint for you! Sister, look! " Mu Nanxi took out a handful of mint leaves from her pocket, which were also stained with some black mud.

Mu Nanzhi looked Mu Nanxi up and down, feeling that something was off. Why would picking a mint leaf make your body muddy? Did he get bullied?

"Nanxi, tell A'jie, have you been bullied?"

"No, no!" Mu Nanxi shook her head like a rattle drum.

"Then why are you so dirty?"

Seeing that Ah'jie did not believe her, Mu Nanxi became even more anxious.

"Sister, I really wasn't bullied!" "I just …"

"But what?"

"I accidentally dropped it on the way back."

Mu Nanzhi stared at Mu Nanxi suspiciously, feeling that something was off.

"Where did you pick this?" There was mint in the back of their house, she remembered. Could Mu Nanxi have fallen on that short stretch of road from the back to the front of the house?

"I went to the bamboo forest to pick them. I don't know who picked the mint behind the house. It's obviously still here in the morning. " Mu Nanxi pouted and stuck her waist with a furious look.

Seeing this, Mu Nanzhi no longer questioned Mu Nanxi. He just told Mu Nanxi to go to the stream and get some water.

Mu Nanxi looked over from afar and let out a long sigh of relief, patting her chest. It looked like there was a ghost.

The little girl was lying! Why?

Suddenly, a thought flashed across Mu Nanzhi's mind. She quietly walked toward Mu Nanxi and asked in a low voice.

"Are the people in the cave still there?"

"Yes, he's still here!"

"Mu Nanxi!"

Mu Nanzhi suddenly raised her voice, making Mu Nanxi's tiny body shudder.

"Sister!" "I …"

"Mu Nanxi, did I say that?" No going to the cave! Is that person awake? "

"No, no!"

"Really?" Mu Nanzhi looked at Mu Nanxi with a serious expression.

The people in the cave were too dangerous. Initially, he had spent too much effort to drag this person into the cave in order to avoid trouble. However, if Mu Nanxi were to go and gather them now, who knows if she would have wasted her efforts.

"It's true!" Sensing Mu Nanxi's sister's anger, she nodded immediately and pulled at her with her small hands. Tears welled up in her eyes and her face was filled with grievance and self-blame.

This little appearance made Mu Nanzhi's heart soften. She sighed and thought to herself: Forget it, this is all fate. At worst, I can just use force to deal with it!
