"Alright, now that we've seen the excitement, there are no other ferocious beasts in the mountains, except for tigers and wild boars. There are no strange, illusory things you talk about, and no hidden treasure either. Disperse."

The old hunter shouted twice at the top of his lungs, but seeing that no one gave way to him, he had no choice but to carry his hunting gear on his back, walk around the crowd in shame, and go into the mountains to chase pheasants and rabbits.

When she returned home, Guo Fuyue saw that Lu Yi was the only one back. She looked left and right but couldn't see the triplets. Somehow, she felt a little panicked.

She asked in a trembling voice, "Sir, where are the three children? Could it be that you... you sold them? What is that thing you are holding in your hand? Did you kill the hens that lay eggs at home?"

Lu Yi brought the roast chicken into the kitchen and waved his hand when he heard it, "I'm a hen."

Guo Fuyue was so anxious that she clutched her handkerchief. She didn't understand what Lu Yi said, but she was alone at home and didn't dare to go up to Lu Yi to ask for clarification.

After several attempts during this period, she had roughly understood that this man had changed. He was no longer the second young master who obeyed her in everything and had her in his heart.

"Oh no! Luli's father! Come out and take a look, your child is in trouble!"

Panicked shouts were heard, and the old hunter, who was still strong despite his age, ran at the speed of his youth in panic.

When Lu Yi and Guo Fuyue arrived, the triplets were all neatly arranged at the foot of the mountain, two vertically and one horizontally.

Guo Fuyue's eyes went dark immediately, and she forced herself to remain calm as she moved forward step by step. "What's wrong? What happened? Why did my good child..."

"Mom!! Wuuuuu!" Lu Li and Lu Qian rushed towards Guo Fuyue with messy leaves on their heads, and pulled her towards the unconscious Lu Yang.

Lu Yi had a blank expression on his face, his eyes fixed on Lu Yang's legs.

The legs were folded at an exaggerated angle, obviously broken. It seemed that the long slope was quite effective.

"How could this hunter go into the mountains and bring back three children like this?"

"Lu Li's father, I don't have any!"

The old hunter had just run back in a mess and was still panting. He looked up and saw many suspicious eyes. He was so excited that he wanted to hold Lu Yi's hand and explain everything from the bottom of his heart.

"These two got lost in the mountains. I brought them out, and then I ran into someone unconscious like this. It was really scary."

Wild animals are different from humans. Besides, he can only chase small creatures like pheasants and rabbits. Suddenly, he encountered a living person lying on the ground, dying, and was so scared that his heart almost jumped out of his throat.

But we can't just ignore it, since the timing is just a coincidence.

"Yang'er, my poor Yang'er! Who is so cruel as to harm you like this? Is there any law left in this world? Mother must stand up for you!"

Guo Fuyue was crying so hard that she almost fainted. She would glance at Lu Yi every time she shouted.

broken!

The old hunter closed his eyes and yellow mud fell off his crotch. The child's mother still suspected him!

"It really wasn't me!" The old hunter waved his hands frantically. He hadn't sweated from running back and forth, but now he was so anxious that his forehead was covered in sweat.

"I know, don't worry. These three kids are used to being naughty. After I taught them a lesson, they deliberately ran into the mountains. It's possible that they accidentally fell. This was an accident, and it's not your fault!" Lu Yi said in a deep voice.

The old hunter's eyes were filled with tears, and he enthusiastically pushed out his cart. Lu Yi carried Lu Yang onto the cart, and brought Guo Fuyue and others, and the whole family went to Tongrentang.

After hearing the doctor's diagnosis, Lu Yi squatted on the ground with an irritated look on his face. After going through multiple levels of frustration and frustration, he finally gave up and said, "It's incurable!"

The doctor was knowledgeable and experienced. He stroked his beard and looked at the apprentice, as steady as a rock.

Guo Fuyue was anxious. "How can you not treat him? Yang'er is still so young, can you bear to let him be paralyzed in bed for the rest of his life? You have to treat him even if you have to sell everything you have!"

"Dad! Please, save my third brother! If it weren't for you, he wouldn't be like this. Please!"

The two siblings threw themselves on Lu Yang's side and cried. The tragic scene attracted the attention of people around them. Amid the voices of pointing and talking, Lu Yi spoke.

"Why did I adopt these three useless and noisy kids like you? Now you've broken your leg. Where am I going to get the money to treat him?!"

As soon as the words fell, the surrounding discussion subsided. "Adopted child..."

That's true. You can't say that you have to sell everything you have for an adopted child. He is not your biological child, so do you owe him anything?

"It has to be treated!" Guo Fuyue continued crying.

Lu Yi stood beside the cart with a stern face. "I don't know how much money you've spent on medicine over the years. The cost of having several children is huge too. This is a bottomless pit. Do you want me to pay him back with my whole life? It's incurable!"

Lu Li and Lu Qian didn't have much hope for Lu Yi in the first place, and they looked at Guo Fuyue with pleading eyes.

"mother!"

Guo Fuyue was in a dilemma. How could the third brother cause such a big mess for her? The eldest and second brothers were also stupid. Why did they call her? Go and force Lu Yi!

His heart was filled with irritation, but he suppressed his reluctance on his face. Guo Fuyue took out some silver from his pocket and handed it to the doctor, saying in a trembling voice:

"Doctor, let's treat it! You must take good care of my son's leg! He's still so young!"

The doctor gestured for the apprentice to take the silver and said frankly, "Excuse me, I can't guarantee whether this leg can stand up... but it can prevent the injury from getting worse."

How can you charge money if you can’t cure it?

Guo Fuyue wanted to take the silver back out of distress, but when she turned around and saw Lu Li and Lu Qian's tearful eyes, she gritted her teeth and said, "Alright! Please! Thank you for your concern!"

"Brother, when did the doctor say my leg will be healed?" Lu Yang asked while enduring the excruciating pain after slowly waking up a few days later.

"It will only take a few months... Take good care of yourself and you'll be well soon." Lu Li avoided Lu Yang's inquiring gaze.

Lu Yang also deliberately ignored the loopholes in Lu Li's words, felt relieved, took the bitter medicine and drank it all.

"Why are you going?"

Seeing Lu Li taking the empty bowl and turning to leave, Lu Yang frowned slightly and said, "I'm bedridden and can't move around easily. You're not at home to take care of me? Who can I expect to take care of me? My second sister, or my mother, or that father who doesn't care whether we live or die?"

"I'm going to the docks to earn money."

Lu Yang looked at him intently and said, "Go ahead. Bring me some meat patties when you come back."

Lu Li was embarrassed: "Don't spend the money from pawning your jewelry carelessly. Save it for buying medicine for you and mom." You don't have to eat meat patties every day...

"Aren't you quite motivated? What, that guy didn't leave you any money? I want to eat meat pie anyway! You're my big brother!"

Lu Li's eyes were slightly dark blue, "I'll do my best."

……

Lu Yi hummed a tune softly, and Lu Li followed step by step behind him. Although there was one less laborer, there was not much difference from before.

Lu Li touched the little money in his pocket, which was all saved by him with great effort.

"...I want a black-faced cake."

Lu Yi was a little surprised to hear this. She had heard the conversation between Lu Yang and Lu Li in the small room.

Qianqian was surprised. Lu Yi took the four meat patties and was about to go back to Guojia Village.

"Dad," Lu Li muttered, "My third brother is already sick in bed, and he just wants to eat meat patties."

Lu Yi looked at him, what a guy, he was planning to attack her.

Lu Li stared at the meat pie in Lu Yi's hand, "Dad, you took so much money from me, all earned by my hard work! Can you buy a few more meat pie for us to eat?"

"I took your money? That's the money you guys spent growing up, it's my money." Lu Yi saw the resentment on his face and curled his lips:

"Since you don't want to do such hard work, then forget it. You don't have to come to the dock anymore. Just stay at home and take care of your brother."

Lu Li was a little confused, but he was still happy when he thought that he would no longer have to do hard labor.

The two hens in the chicken coop are competing with each other. It used to be difficult for them to lay one egg a day, but since they lost their two colleagues, the number of eggs they laid has increased dramatically.

Lu Yi was busy picking eggs at home.

As the weather grew colder, she stopped going to the dock and ate three meals a day on time, hoping to make up for the original owner's depleted body.

Sometimes they stew big bones or mutton in the mountains, and sometimes they collect one or two pheasants or rabbits to replenish the supplies consumed in the space.

The house is also very lively.

"You're going too far! Didn't I tell you to call for help before you poop? My second sister, mother, and I are all home, why did you have to yell after you pooped in bed?!"

Angry shouts came through the door. Lu Yi stopped watching the cartoon that Xiao Fan was showing. He sat up straight and reached out to grab the melon seeds on the corner of the table.

The moment he cracked the melon seeds, Xiao Fan changed the channel and started playing the picture in the small room.

Lu Li stood at the door with his face flushed with anger. Lu Yang, who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed pretending to be dead, looked indifferent. "You are angry, but I am not. I will be happy if you make me die of anger."

Seeing that he was as calm as a dead pig, Lu Li became even angrier!
