After sending his elder sister out, Song Yu gave her a few more instructions. He watched her back gradually disappearing before closing the door. When he turned around, he found Su He staring at her.

"What's wrong?" Song Yu asked.

Su He looked away and said softly, "Nothing."

Song Yu felt a little confused.

She walked over to Su He, looked through the herbs he had turned over, glanced at the sky, and then picked up the sieves on the shelf, stacked them one on top of the other, and moved them into the house.

Su He stood there, watching Song Yu's actions. Song Yu was truly the type of woman he had never seen before.

After moving all the herbs into the house, I went to clean up the debris in the yard.

The villagers helped her chop the firewood, and she had to carry it into the kitchen bit by bit.

The air is quite humid and it feels like it's going to rain, but we can't let the firewood get wet.

If it rains, the newly turned soil does not need to be watered.

"Is there anything I can do?" Su He suddenly asked.

Song Yu glanced at the crutch in his hand and said, "Just move to the side a little, don't block the road."

For dinner in the evening, Song Yu cooked taro porridge and baked some millet cakes.

Just after dinner, it started to drizzle.

Song Yu stood under the eaves, watching the continuous autumn rain.

Every autumn rain brings a chill, so it’s time to put on more clothes.

Su He was standing next to her. Song Yu was looking at the rain, and Su He was looking at her.

"When your leg feels a little better, let's go for a walk in town." Song Yu suddenly said.

"Hmm?" Su He asked.

Song Yu said, "Go get some more."

"Okay," Su He agreed.

Song Yu tilted his head to look at Su He, looking at his eyebrows and eyes. As the sky gradually darkened, his vision became darker and darker.

"What's wrong?" Su He felt her gaze, which had not moved away for a long time, and could not help but ask.

Song Yu suddenly chuckled and said, "Nothing."

She just suddenly felt that Su He had a really good temper and was really obedient. He would do whatever he was told to do. Today, a group of aunts and sisters-in-law came over, and although he was obviously annoyed, he still stood there patiently and did not lose his temper on the spot.

Su He was about to ask something when a cat's meow interrupted his thoughts.

"Meow……"

Song Yu turned around, bent down, walked into the door, and picked up the candy beans on the ground.

Tangdou was very close to her. When she put it on the ground, it would use its head to nudge Song Yu's shoes.

When he picked it up, it rubbed against Song Yu's arm again.

In just one day, Song Yu was extremely happy with it.

When he goes to bed at night, the cat bed is placed next to him, and Song Yu feels very safe.

In the middle of the night, the rain gradually got heavier, and I could hear the sound of rain hitting the tiles.

Song Yu tossed and turned. These days, she deliberately avoided thinking about it.

She wanted to go home and miss her parents. When she first arrived, she was quite panicked. This was no longer just a matter of getting lost.

Even if you get lost, you may still have a chance to find a way out. You can determine your direction based on the direction the trees grow, or look up at the starry sky and use the stars to determine your location.

But now that she was here, she couldn't see even the slightest glimmer of hope.

I fell asleep in a daze, I don't know how, but the sleep was not peaceful and I kept dreaming.

Su He walked out of the bedroom and stood beside Song Yu. The room was dark, but he could see Song Yu clearly.

Looking at her furrowed brows and trembling lips, I had no idea what she was saying.

Su He stretched out his hand, from the top of Song Yu's head, to the bridge of his nose, then to his lips, and finally stopped above his neck.

As long as he exerted a little force, the slender neck would break into two in an instant.

Song Yu didn't even have the chance to wake up, nor would he feel any pain. He would be able to feel it just two inches lower.

"You are so unguarded, thinking everyone is a good person. You don't even know when you are being killed." Su He said with a bit of resentment in his tone.

He moved his hand down and pulled the quilt for Song Yu.

"Meow..." A cat's meow in the noisy rainy night did not even make a splash.

Su He looked down and saw that Tangdou had crawled out of the cat's nest again without him noticing.

It rubbed against Su He's feet without any hesitation.

Su He kicked the kitten lightly, and it rolled out with its belly facing up. It cried twice as if in protest.

Su He squatted down, picked up the skin on the back of its neck with two fingers, threw it into the cat bed, and complained: "Silly cat."

In the past, he would have crushed such a little thing to death without blinking, let alone sent the little guy back to the nest so gently.

When Song Yu woke up, it was already bright outside. He went to bed late last night and got up late today as well.

He lifted the quilt and got out of bed, then opened the door to the main room, allowing more light to shine in.

In an instant, bright light filled the entire room. Song Yu stood at the door, looking at the puddle in the yard.

The rain has stopped, but there is still moisture in the air.

Song Yu looked at the mountain opposite and saw mist halfway up the mountain.

She stretched, turned around to fold the quilt, and went to the kitchen to make breakfast.

As soon as she entered the kitchen, Su He appeared in the main room with a cane. He glanced at the bedding that Song Yu had put away, and then looked in the direction of the kitchen.

Song Yu prepared breakfast: two boiled taro, a large bowl of pheasant eggs, and egg drop soup.

She ate half a taro and a small bowl of egg drop soup, and the rest went into Suhe's mouth.

After dinner and feeding Tangdou, Song Yu put on his backpack and took his sickle. He said to Su He, "It rained last night. I'm going to see if I can pick some mushrooms. You stay home. If anyone comes looking for me, if it's not urgent, tell them to come back tomorrow morning. If it's urgent, tell them to come back in the evening. If it's extremely urgent, tell them to go into the mountains to look for me. Remember?"

Su He nodded: "Okay, I'll remember it."

Song Yu blurted out: "Well, that's good."

Su He was stunned. The way Song Yu looked at her just now was exactly like the way she looked at a silly cat.

Song Yu was also stunned. His mouth was faster than his brain. How could he say what he was thinking?

She suddenly squatted down, touched Tangdou's head, and said, "Be good and stay at home to look after the house. Mom will come back in the evening and make you something delicious."

After saying that, he stood up and said to Su He, "I'm leaving now. By the way, remember to feed some of the goat's milk in the kitchen to Tang Dou at noon. You can also eat the pancakes in the pot at noon."

After saying that, he turned around and walked away. Until he walked out of the door, Song Yu raised his hand and patted his chest, muttering to himself: "It should be very natural, um, you can't tell at all."

Because there was someone at home, when Song Yu went out, he just closed the door but did not lock it.

It had rained and the ground was a little slippery, so Song Yu tied a few straw ropes on his shoes to prevent him from slipping.

There are not many people who go up the mountain to pick herbs, she is the only one in the whole village, but there are many people who go up the mountain to pick mushrooms.

Everyone had the same idea: it rained last night, so there might be mushrooms in the forest on the mountain.

Song Yu was a little happy. Since everyone was going up the mountain together, they could look after each other.

When the villagers saw Song Yu, they greeted her with smiles, and some even offered to help her carry her backpack.

But Song Yu declined them all.
