Chapter 20 Return
"You're talking nonsense. People from you seven countries just like to say these kinds of nonsense that no one can understand." Yan Lingji said sarcastically.

"Illiterate." Yang Chong retorted. For the time being, he had no plans to seduce Yan Lingji, so how could he be a bootlicker?

"I'm not illiterate, I'm a barbarian!" Yan Lingji glared and said angrily.

"Let's go, let's go, it's time to go home." Yang Chong greeted, the word "barbarian" was not easy to respond to.

"You are not my master yet." Yan Lingji frowned. She didn't like the feeling of being ordered around, and what was Yang Chong's attitude just now?
"So, Yang Chong, please let the beauty go first," Yang Chong asked back.

"That's more like it." Yan Lingji, who was always obedient, changed her color.

In the most luxurious mansion in Xiliu Village, Yang Lin paced back and forth anxiously. Yang Chong had disappeared. All the people who had entered Dalong Mountain to hunt had returned, but Yang Chong had not. What was the reason?
Could it be that he knew something? Thinking of this, Yang Lin became even more irritated. He had been planning on Yang Chong for sixteen years, and now the danger was imminent. He was about to use Yang Chong, but Yang Chong disappeared, disappeared in Dalong Mountain. His planning for more than ten years was about to go down the drain. How could he not be anxious?

"Brother Yang, don't worry. I think Yang Chong's martial arts are pretty good. The jackals, tigers and leopards in Dalong Mountain can't threaten him." Qin Ming, who was called in again to inquire about Yang Chong, looked at the anxious Yang Lin and could only comfort him.

"It's easy to guard against jackals, tigers and leopards, but it's hard to predict the human heart!" Yang Lin sighed. Of course, he couldn't tell Qin Ming the real reason for his anxiety. He could only pretend to be a father who cared about his son who had been away for a long time.

"Alas, this matter is also my fault. I thought at that time that with Yang Chong's ability, he should not encounter any accidents in Dalong Mountain. But I never thought that Yang Chong would actually... However, Yang Chong should just be playing around and may not have encountered any danger." Qin Ming said with a worried look on his face. After all, it was he who brought Yang Chong into Dalong Mountain. Until now, Yang Chong has not returned. If he really encountered an accident, how could he not be responsible and how could his conscience be at peace.

"How can you be blamed for this? Yang Chong is just willful." Yang Lin waved his hands and denied it.

While Yang Lin was feeling anxious because of Yang Chong's disappearance, there was also a girl in the house who was feeling uneasy.

"The young master will be fine. He is so powerful, so smart, and so lucky. How could he encounter any danger? Besides, even if the young master encounters danger, he will be able to turn it into safety." In the backyard, Jiang Nu was washing clothes that had started to smell rotten because they had not been worn for a long time. She let her little hands turn red from the cold in the wooden basin, and her little face was wrinkled with worry.

Yang Chong had been in the mountains for a long, long time. Now it was snowing heavily, so hunting was obviously impossible. But Yang Chong had not returned yet. What was holding him back? Jiang Nu thought about it, and became more and more irritated. She increased the speed of washing clothes in her hands. However, in less than a moment, the little girl was already panting with exhaustion.

Ms. Jiang threw her clothes aside in annoyance, looked at her reflection in the water, and suddenly thought of something.

"Oh no, could old man Li have starved to death?" Thinking of Yang Chong, Jiang Nu suddenly remembered the instructions Yang Chong gave her before he left. However, she had been worried about Yang Chong's safety during this period and had forgotten his instructions.

Thinking of the tragedy that the lame old man Li might starve to death because of her negligence, Jiang Nu's face turned pale and she quickly ran to the room to look for something.

In fact, it was not Jiang Nu's fault. In Xiliu Village, Old Man Li was an outsider. Who would take care of him if they were not related to him? Yang Chong was just at the age of wild imagination, and because of the unawakened memories of his previous life that affected his subconscious, he regarded Old Man Li as a master and took great care of him. As for Jiang Nu, Old Man Li was just a sloppy and lame old man who cheated for food and drink. If it were not for Yang Chong, she would not be willing to contact such a person.

But since it was Yang Chong's instruction, Jiang Nu felt that if she forgot, she would disappoint her young master. Besides, it was a human life. If anything unexpected happened due to her negligence, she would not be able to feel at ease.

Miss Jiang here collected some dry food, and then thought of her negligence, so she simply took out some of her own private money and bought a rooster from a familiar family. Then she carried more than 20 kilograms of things and walked towards the dilapidated house at the entrance of the village.

"You little girl, you were having fun when your master was not at home. You almost starved me to death. I thought I wouldn't even have a full meal before I died." Old man Li blamed Jiang Nu while looking at the rooster squatting in the clay pot.

"I forgot for a moment because I was worried about the young master. The young master has been out for two months! The people who went hunting with him came back a long time ago." Jiang Nu said embarrassedly. She was indeed in the wrong in this matter.

"Your young master is very cunning. He can turn danger into safety even when he encounters danger. There is no need for a little girl like you to worry about him." Old man Li said, not knowing whether he was comforting or mocking.

"Is the young master really okay?" Miss Jiang asked. She certainly didn't think that Old Man Li knew about Yang Chong's current condition. She just needed to find a reason to confirm that Yang Chong was fine. This reason could be a casual remark from others.

"Of course it's okay. Your young master will be very happy when he comes back. He may even bring you a gift." Old man Li said with certainty. Yang Chong had not come back for such a long time, and old man Li could naturally guess why Yang Chong was like this.

Yang Chong must have gone to find that cave, and he would definitely unravel the secret of that cave. How could he not be in a good mood after getting such benefits? Of course, the premise is that he could get the secret of that cave while being safe.

"As long as the young master can come back safely, I don't need any gifts. It's just that the young master can really... No, no, the young master must be able to come back safely." Miss Jiang hesitated for just a moment, and her eyes turned firm.

"You are very loyal." Old man Li smiled, his eyes drifting to the earthenware jar in front of him. It was already smelling good and almost cooked. It would be too miserable to be a starving ghost. Fortunately, he didn't have to worry about this problem at this time.

"Grandpa Li, why did you stew the whole chicken? You should save some food." Reassured, Jiang Nu now had the leisure to care about the rooster she had bought.

"I can't eat many meals now, so what should I save? Leave them for ghosts to eat?" Old man Li asked.

He had a premonition that he would not survive this winter, so he had to eat up any delicious food as soon as possible, otherwise it would have to be placed on his grave. But by then, what would be the point of these things?
