Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

When Yi Chi came, he saw a hammer rising and falling behind the window, but no one was there.

He leaned in from the door with the basket in his hand and saw Jiang Yu sitting there, frowning and thinking about something. He called her softly, "Jiang Yu, do you want some chicken soup?"

"Hah!" Jiang Yu immediately came back to his senses, put down the hammer and stood up.

Yi Chi walked into the house, put the basket on the ground, took out a lunch box wrapped in coarse cloth and handed it to her, along with a wooden spoon.

Jiang Yu immediately sat down opposite him, lifted the coarse cloth, opened the lid of the lunch box inside, and the fragrant chicken soup was steaming, welcoming her to feast on it.

Soon, the chicken soup and chicken legs were finished by the ginger fish. She burped with satisfaction, "Delicious."

Seeing that she was enjoying her meal, Yi Chi's mood also brightened a lot.

Jiang Yu looked at the other person's smiling eyes, and suddenly became curious whether Yi Chi hated those people, so he asked.

Yi Chi paused. He didn't know whether he should tell her his inner thoughts honestly. He was also afraid that Jiang Yu would cut off contact with him because he was not upright enough. But lying was not so easy, especially since he really wanted to make friends with Jiang Yu. If he lied at this time, and Jiang Yu saw through him when he was taking revenge later, how would he explain it? What kind of friendship in this world can be built on lies?

Jiang Yu saw his hesitation and felt that her question was a bit presumptuous. They were not familiar enough to talk about anything before. She waved her hand and said, "Just pretend I didn't ask. I don't know what you've been through. It's hard to say whether you hate me or not. Feelings are too complicated." She pointed to the results of her work and said, "I have fixed the doors and windows for you. Do you want to ask Captain Zhuang when he can come to fix the stove for you?"

"Hate." Yi Chi suddenly answered her question. He restrained the smile on his face, and his eyes were deep and cold. "How can I not hate? They destroyed my family, forced my relatives to death, and took my grandfather who came to visit to the farm and locked him up for 13 years. They occupied my family property and old house, but threw me into a broken house in the mountains. I almost died in the winter when I was 4 years old. I wish I could burn down the whole village and let those ungrateful people be buried with my family."

Jiang Yu was shocked by the resentment in his words.

Yi Chi has always appeared to be good-tempered and taciturn, but if someone talks to him, he will definitely respond in a gentle manner. It's just that because of his bad background, his behavior is a little timid and he dare not look up at people.

But it was this person who suddenly burst out with strong resentment in front of her. Jiang Yu had no doubt that if the conditions did not allow it and his own ability was not enough, Yi Chi would really turn his words into action.

"Then have you ever thought about taking revenge on them?" Jiang Yu didn't understand. If they were so resentful, why didn't they do anything?

If she had not traveled through time, but had been beheaded and reborn at that time, she would have killed all the bandits who attacked her, no matter whether they were old or young, male or female, or weak children. Since they wanted her life, they should bear her revenge, and killing them could even be considered her mercy. After all, the end of the world is so difficult, and living is even more painful.

Yi Chi didn't expect her to ask this. Normally, after listening to his story, others would persuade him to let go of his hatred. Even his uncle told him that he hoped he would let go of the past and get over his hatred as soon as possible. Jiang Yu actually wanted to hear how he was going to take revenge? "I'm too weak. I can only take it step by step."

Jiang Yu nodded. Indeed, one should do as much as one can. Even if one wants to retaliate against them, one should ensure one's own safety first. "Then you should be careful and hurry up. Uncle Six is ​​leaving soon." This winter is your last chance. After all, it won't be so convenient after Uncle Six is ​​taken away by his son. Province F is far away from here, one is in the south and the other is in the north. And it's not so easy to travel far these days.

Yi Chi moved his body a little more relaxedly, even leaning back slightly to make his back more relaxed, "He can't walk."

Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows. So, his slow plan has already started? It's not just talk. Because of his own experience, Jiang Yu really doesn't like those trash who can only curse verbally and have many scruples in their actions. Jiang Yu patted his arm and said, "Wait and see." Since your revenge has begun, I won't be polite.

Since Yi Chi's house had been rebuilt, Jiang Yu didn't delay any longer. She really wanted to prepare her own supplies for the winter.

Although she knew that although supplies were scarce nowadays, they were not as tight as in the end of the world, Jiang Yu still wanted to store some food in her space. Besides, there was this vast mountain for her to plunder, so it would be a waste not to take it.

"By the way, how much meat can you get at most at one time?" Jiang Yu asked Yi Chi before leaving.

Yi Chi blinked, "What do you mean?" How many prey do you plan to hunt?

"Forget it, I'll take care of it myself." Jiang Yu thought about it and decided to do it bit by bit. Anyway, the prey he brought back could be kept in the space and would not deteriorate.

"Be careful when you go up the mountain, and don't go too deep." Yi Chi knew that Jiang Yu was quite skilled, but he still couldn't help but worry that she might accidentally enter the territory of wild beasts and get hurt.

Jiang Yu responded, then quickly climbed over Yaoer Mountain and ran into the mountains.

Yi Chi could only watch her run away. After he could no longer see her, he went down the mountain to look for Zhuang Shouren.

Zhuang Shouren didn't say much. He found a few strong laborers who came later and were not so hostile to Yi Chi to help him. When he was carrying bricks up the mountain, he asked him casually, "People from the next brigade said that they saw strangers in the mountains recently. Did you know?"

Yi Chi looked confused, "Stranger? I don't know, I've been helping Jiang Zhiqing recently."

Zhuang Shouren thought about the speed at which he was repairing the house, and he probably didn't have time to go out and walk around. He was too busy every day. "It's okay if you haven't seen it. If you see it, please tell me. You know, although it looks peaceful outside, there are still many bugs jumping around in the dark. If such people really enter the mountains, we have to prepare early."

"Okay." Yi Chi nodded. He looked well-behaved and honest, but no one knew what he was thinking.

After all the bricks were transported up the mountain, the four uncles began to work. Yi Chi brought wet mud in batches to help them.

Zhuang Shouren wandered around for a long time, looking at the house from time to time, and seeing that Jiang Yu had not appeared yet, he asked Yi Chi, "Isn't Master Jiang coming?"

Yi Chi hummed, "After the house was repaired, she said she wanted to go to the mountains to pick mushrooms and left directly."

Zhuang Shouren nodded and left soon after.
