After Li Yu washed up, he returned to the room, opened the door, and saw Nanny Chen sleeping on the low couch in the back room.

When Grandma Chen heard the sound, she immediately got up and said, "Madam, why are you back so soon?"

Li Yu looked at the two children with flushed sleeping faces on the bed, and said softly: "I shot a few wild animals, picked up some fresh mushrooms, and rushed back. If you don't feel comfortable sleeping here, you'd better sleep on the bed outside!" "

Grandma Chen nodded and walked out quietly.

Li Yu went to bed and kissed the two babies before lying down and falling asleep.

Early the next morning, the two children woke up and saw their mother lying on the bed. They happily threw themselves on Li Yu, and each of them kissed Li Yu, "Mom, where did you come from? We didn't sleep last night." I didn’t see you!”

Li Yu looked at them with a smile, "Mom, you know the baby is thinking about me, so come back quickly!"

"Mom!" The two of them threw themselves on Li Yu and smiled happily.

Grandma Chen hurriedly entered the room and said to the two children: "Master, Madam will not go home until dawn. She is very tired. You and Grandma should go out to wash your face, brush your teeth and eat, so that Madam can have a good rest."

Xingxing looked at Li Yu, "Mother, are you tired?"

Li Yu nodded, "Tired! You guys are obedient. Mother will get up after a while and prepare delicious food for you."

"Okay!" The two of them put on their clothes and followed Grandma Chen out.

Mr. Wen woke up early in the morning and saw the mushrooms drying in the dustpan. He looked at Aunt He in surprise, "Ayu came back last night!"

Aunt He smiled and nodded, "I came back when the rooster crows, and I brought you something good."

Mr. Zhou smiled on the side and said: "What a good thing? Let's take a look."

Aunt He turned around and brought out a chopstick.

Putting the bamboo basket on the bamboo stand, he looked at the purple Ganoderma lucidum inside and looked at the two of them with a smile, "It must be a good thing!"

Mr. Zhou nodded, "Yes! It's a good thing!"

Mr. Wen nodded repeatedly. "Ayu's luck is good. Apart from the deep mountains and old forests, it is really rare to encounter such good Ganoderma lucidum here."

"Don't even look at whose wife it is." Mr. Zhou smiled proudly.

Mr. Wen nodded and said, "Jiahe has better taste than your father."

In Yangjia Village, the Yang Lin brothers didn't return home until dawn.

The Yang Lin family lives at the end of Yangjia Village. They are not divided into separate families. They live in a large brick courtyard. It seems that the family is fairly well off.

The father of the Yang family looked at the two brothers and asked strangely: "Didn't you say you would stay in the mountains for a few days before coming back? Why did you come back so soon?"

Yang Lin put down his prey and bow and arrow, pulled Father Lin, and said softly: "Dad, go to your house, I have something to tell you."

Father Yang saw his usually steady eldest son looking panicked and hurried back to the room with him.

After the father and son entered the house and sat down, Father Yang quickly asked: "What happened?"

Yang Lin looked at him and said, "Dad, do you still remember what I told you when I came back and told you when I went hunting with my second and third brothers in the winter three years ago?"

"Three years ago?" Father Yang thought for a moment, "The third child said that he chased a white fox into a cave and found that the cave was open. Did he see anyone on the other side of the cave?"

"Well! We met a woman in the mountains last night at dusk. She said..." Yang Lin looked at Father Yang after finishing speaking, "Dad, do you think we should tell them?"

"I've also heard about what happened in Liangjiacun, and Yingtao's mother and your mother also told Yingtao and the others."

Father Yang looked at his son, "Oh! What a sin! That woman is probably the Mrs. Li who saved Yingying and the others. Xiangxiu's mother said that her man is a big man, and he treats Xiangxiu and the others well."

Yang Lin said anxiously: "Then what do you think we should do? Should we talk about that matter or not? What if they come and attack us..."

Yang Lin didn't dare to continue talking. Yangjia Village was much larger than Liangjia Village. By then, the three brothers would become criminals.

Father Yang shook his head and said: "Three years have passed and those people haven't come here yet, which proves that they didn't find the third child back then, otherwise they would have silenced him long ago."

"What I'm afraid of is that the lady has noticed it. Alas! Let's go to Liangjiacun quietly and tell her the whole story. When the government comes to find us, trouble will really come to our door!"

Yang Lin nodded after hearing this, "Dad, we will do whatever you say."

Father Yang stood up, looked at him and said, "Go! Call the third child up, let's go to Liangjia Village right now."

"Yeah!" Yang Lin followed Father Yang out of the room, called Yang Mu, and drove the ox cart to Liangjia Village.

Li Yu slept until noon before getting up. When he went out, he saw Grandma Chen and Aunt He drying mushrooms and bamboo shoots in the yard. No one else was in the yard.

Aunt He saw Li Yu and said with a smile: "Madam, get up! I'm going to make you a bowl of shredded chicken noodles."

Li Yu smiled and nodded, "Okay, where are the children?"

Grandma Chen smiled and said: "The two young masters followed the old man, Mr. Wen, and the little Loach to the bamboo forest to watch the craftsmen build houses."

"Oh!" After Li Yu went to wash up, he went to the dining room next to the kitchen to eat.

After finishing the meal, I came out and saw Aunt He picking up all the game.

Aunt He pointed at the pheasant and said: "Madam, the young master said he wanted to eat beggar's chicken. I looked for it and found that there is no lotus pond here. There is no lotus leaf to wrap the chicken, so there is no way to cook it!"

Li Yu smiled and said, "Tell them there is no lotus pond here, put some seasoning on it and bake it for them to eat. It's the same thing."

Aunt He smiled and nodded, "That's all. I'll prepare the seasonings while you go and rest for a while."

Li Yu nodded, "Has Ruyi come back from Kyoto?"

"I arrived last night and went to town early this morning."

Li Yu thought about what happened to the Yang brothers yesterday, and wondered whether he should go back to the Yamen to ask them, or go to Yangjia Village himself.

Before she could decide, Mrs. Zhang came in from outside and reported: "Madam, there are three folks named Yang outside who want to see you for something."

It seemed that people from the Yang Lin family were here. Li Yu thought to himself: They came quite quickly. It seems that they were right.

"Invite them in."

Mrs. Zhang turned to the entrance of the courtyard and brought the Yang family father and son into the courtyard.

Father Yang stepped forward and saluted Li Yu and said, "Mrs. Li, a commoner has taken the liberty to come here because he has something to tell you."

Li Yu smiled and raised his hand, "Old man, without courtesy, please come into the room and sit down to talk."

Father Yang cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Mrs. Li."

Several people entered the main room, Mrs. Zhang brought tea, and Father Yang and his son sat on the chairs cautiously.

Li Yu saw that the Yang Lin brothers' eyes were red and guessed that they had also returned to Yangjia Village overnight. They might have discussed it with their old father at home and then rushed over.

He looked at them and said with a smile: "You haven't eaten yet! Sister-in-law Zhang, cook them a bowl of noodles."

Father Yang stood up in a hurry and rubbed his hands nervously, "Don't bother this sister-in-law, you are too polite."

"You're welcome, it's just a meal." Li Yu said with a smile.

Mrs. Zhang agreed and went to cook noodles.
