Chapter 173 Women are really talented in acting

Li Yingjun could tell that Ji Li didn't want people to know that he was in this together with the others, and frowned, "I told you not to come to this mountain, there's nothing fun here, but you didn't listen and insisted on coming." His face was full of disgust.

The old man laughed, "We are from a poor mountain village, there is nothing to do here. Master, have you and the kids had dinner yet? Why don't you stay at my house? I am just about to carry some firewood home to cook!"

"Then thank you for your help, old man." Ji Li smiled harmlessly, and while the old man led the way, he winked at Nangong Xi and the others.

Yan Cheng: ...

Lan Ze: ...

Nangong Xi: ...

Women are really talented at acting.

Li Yingjun seemed helpless, "How can I bother you like this?"

"Don't bother me. There are seldom outsiders coming to our village. It's more lively here when we have people here." He sounded like a simple old man.

The old man's home was not far from the village street. After he got home, he went to the kitchen to cook. Yan Cheng and Lan Ze stood in the yard of the old man's house and could see the road leading up the mountain.

Looking back, the backyard is full of mountains.

"Brother Yan, what did you see?"

"The forests here are dense and lush, and there are indeed yellow foxes in the area." Yan Cheng said. "Just a little bit."

"Ok?"

"We've been here for such a long time, but we only saw this old man coming here carrying firewood. Don't you think it's strange? It's as if he knew someone was coming up and chose to meet us here by chance." Yan Cheng lowered his voice.

The old man's face doesn't show that he is an honest person.

"Be careful, there's something weird about this village." In broad daylight, there was no one around.

Could it be that everyone had gone to the mountains to hunt? But it was lunchtime, and only the old man's family had thick smoke in the air.

Ji Li and Li Yingjun were chatting with the old man while Nangong Xi ran to the back mountain.

Farmhouse meals are simple and are cooked in a big pot, so they are ready in a short while.

"The food is very rough. This is the condition in the mountains." The old man rubbed his hands.

"It smells so good. It's a rare experience." Ji Li held the bowl of rice and smiled, looking like a pure and ignorant girl.

Ji Li's face was so deceptive. If they hadn't been together for such a long time, people who didn't know Ji Li would think that Ji Li was a stupid beauty.

Yan Cheng suddenly thought of when he just came down from Changbai Mountain and met Chen at the Royal Hotel. At that time, he saw Ji Li, who was being ridiculed by her classmates.

Now it seems that it was just a manifestation of not taking what those people said to heart.

Ji Li only took a few bites of the meal. He spent most of the time talking, chattering non-stop, and most of his questions were incoherent.

"Uncle, what are the things to do here?"

"There's nothing to do in this poor mountain valley. If you don't believe me, go out and have a look. Besides climbing the mountain, there are wild animals in our mountain. You'd better get down the mountain early and go play somewhere else."

“When we saw this mountain from the bottom of the mountain, we thought we had discovered a treasure.”

"But old man, are you the only one in your family? Where are your children? It's so quiet here."

"Young people can't stand living in the mountains. My son works in the city." The old man laughed.

"Then why doesn't he come to pick you up and go to the city to enjoy life together? You have to go up the mountain to chop wood every day."

"I'm used to living here. The city doesn't suit me."

"Okay, old man, I respect your idea." Ji Li took a bite of rice and looked up and asked, "Old man, this rice is the same as the one in the city. Do you usually go down the mountain to buy it yourself or does your son buy it for you?"
