squeamish bag [rebirth]

Closer to home.

Seeing that it was getting dark and Lou Jing still didn't come back, Yan Qinghe cooked porridge while muttering. He left most of the pot of porridge for Lou Jing to keep warm, and he and the two children ate some at will.

After eating, he and the two children washed up briefly, and then tucked into the bed.

They were talking as usual, but Yan Qinghe was a little absent-minded, and his eyes always drifted towards the door from time to time.

It's getting dark, why hasn't Lou Jing come back?

Could something happen to him?

He's got bad legs, and if he's in any danger--

The more Yan Qinghe thought about it, the more anxious he became. While worrying, he comforted himself that Lou Jing was an old hunter, and even if he was really in danger, he should have a way to escape.

He waited a little longer, and if he didn't come back after a while, he would go out to find someone.

Yan Qinghe silently counted the time in his heart, 1 minute, 2 minutes...

When he counted to 10 minutes, he couldn't lie down anymore, and sat up suddenly, and the drowsy two children were startled by his sudden movement.

"Brother?" Yan An opened his sleepy eyes and looked at Yan Qinghe blankly.

Yan Qinghe patted his belly lightly, and said in a low voice, "Brother Lou hasn't come back yet, I'll go out and have a look, you guys go to bed first."

Yan An mumbled in response, and closed his eyes again.

Yan Qing put on his clothes neatly. As soon as he went out, he saw the building scene coming back, and his anxiety suddenly turned into surprise, "Are you back?"

When Lou Jing saw Yan Qinghe, he avoided his gaze uncomfortably, and gave a faint 'hmm'.

Yan Qinghe didn't notice his estrangement, and only asked with some complaints: "Why did you come back so late today?"

Lou Jing choked.

He sat by the frozen lake all day today, trying to calm down, who knew that the calmer he was, the more profound the old doctor's words would be.

Before he knew it, he had calmed down until now.

Of course, it was impossible for him to tell Yan Qinghe this.

"It's late for hunting..." Lou Jing said while lowering his head to hide his guilt.

Lou Jing always went hunting when he went out, Yan Qinghe didn't doubt it, his eyes fell on Lou Jing's hand involuntarily, wondering what prey he had hunted today.

However, Lou Jing's hands are empty, nothing.

Yan Qinghe's eyes widened in surprise, Lou Jing went hunting, but never came back empty-handed...

Lou Jing noticed Yan Qinghe's expression, and his body stiffened involuntarily. He had to perform a full set of acting, and he forgot to bring back his prey.

Lou Jing was very annoyed, he put his hands behind his back, and explained nervously: "Maybe it's been a bit cold recently, I didn't see any prey today..."

Didn't see the prey in cold weather?This, Yan Qinghe does not believe, after all the hunters here are hunting all year round.

He thought to himself that Lou Jing probably didn't catch any prey, and he was worried that he would look down on him, so he delayed his return so late, and deliberately made an excuse that there was no prey due to the cold weather.

Seeing Lou Jing's nervous appearance, Yan Qinghe decided to save him face and not expose him.

Not only that, but he also said cooperatively: "Well, the weather is really cold recently, and the animals must be afraid of the cold and dare not come out, hiding in their dens to hibernate."

Listening to Yan Qinghe's echo, Lou Jing blushed with guilt.

Yan Qinghe didn't know anything about this, he hurriedly took Lou Jing to the kitchen, brought out the porridge that was still warm in the pot, and urged: "You must have not eaten, drink this bowl of porridge quickly, warm it up." Warm up, if it’s not enough, I’ll cook it for you.”
