Huo Jiling took the stone from Li Muyao’s hand and nodded. “Yes.”
After answering Li Muyao’s question, Huo Jiling helped Li Muyao stand up and ran to Yang Hongzhi and the others. “Uncle Yang, it’s my first time here. I want Mooncake to bring me around this place.
When Uncle Li wrote to me overseas, he mentioned to me that I wanted to walk with Mooncake personally.”
Huo Jiling’s words stunned everyone present, but soon, Yang Hongzhi, Li Mufeng, and the twin brother all knew that Li Dajian often communicated with his comrades and friends. Especially Li Mufeng and his twin brother. They knew that their father would bring some girls ‘toys to Li Muyao from time to time.
These little girls ‘gifts could not be bought even in the county or in the country.
Li Dajian had been questioned by Lin Qin before. At that time, Li Dajian said that it was sent by a friend.
Now, hearing Huo Jiling say that he had a letter with Li Dajian, they were all shocked. The Li tamily didn’t know that Huo Jiling, who was originally only known by everyone, actually had a relationship with Li Muyao so early.
Yang Hongzhi was stunned for a few seconds before he nodded and replied with a smile,””Yes, I should let Yaoyao accompany you for a walk. I’ve brought Yaoyao along with me to all the mountains and rivers in this area. It can be said that Yaoyao can bring you out of the mountains even with your eyes closed. Go, look around, walk around, and chat with Yaoyao.”
Speaking of his deceased good brother, Yang Hongzhi, apart from reminiscing and sighing, also hoped that his good brother’s daughter, Li Muyao, would live well. This was the only hope and only concern of his deceased brother.
“Alright, then Uncle Yang, we’ll go shopping. We still need Uncle Yang to help clean up this ginseng. When the time comes, just leave it to Little Yu and Yang Yang to take care of it. We might come back late, so you don’t have to wait for us to eat.”
Huo Jiling handed the basket filled with ginseng to Yang Hongzhi and took a small basket and shovel from Li Muyu and Li Muyang.
Then, he carried the things and walked towards Li Muyao. After putting the stone in her hand into the basket, he held her hand and walked in the direction Li Muyao had told him.
Li Mufeng and his twin brother, who had stopped in their tracks, had complicated and conflicted expressions on their faces. Yang Hongzhi laughed at them and explained, “You guys don’t know, right? Your father has indeed been communicating with Ji Ling internationally. If I remember correctly, the things on Yaoyao’s desk are all from Ji Ling.
To be honest, I’ve never been optimistic about the success of this betrothal between Yaoyao and Ji Ling. After all, Ji Ling’s family background is quite good. She had always been abroad and was open-minded. She would definitely not like this betrothal just like Yaoyao.
She just didn’t expect that the boyfriend Yaoyao brought this time would be Huo Jiling. It was fate!”
Yang Hongzhi didn’t tell Li Mufeng and the twins why Li Dajian, as a father, would find a boy to betroth his beloved daughter when she was still young. At that time, it was because the master of metaphysics, Old Madam Huo, whom they had protected during their mission, had helped Li Dajian read his fortune.
After Li Dajian got married in the future, he would have sons and daughters, especially daughters. If they couldn’t marry the person they were destined to marry, they would be lonely for the rest of their lives. If they missed that person, they would never be able to wear wedding clothes.
People like them didn’t believe in these things at all. However, some things didn’t happen just because they didn’t believe in them. Li Muyao was a premature baby, but she wasn’t like Li Mufeng’s eldest son, who was born prematurely but was very healthy. When he was two years old, something happened again. Of course, those things were all in the past, and they involved some secret matters.
Of course, Li Mufeng and the twins didn’t know about it. Even Yang Hongzhi wouldn’t have remembered it if Huo Jiling hadn’t pointed it out today.
As a retired guard, some memories needed to be sealed forever.
“It’s indeed very surprising. Mooncake seems to be quite satisfied with Brother Ji Ling for the time being. We’re also willing to give Brother Ji Ling a chance to observe.”
Li Muyu glanced at Li Muyang and Li Mufeng and said. In any case, this was what he and his younger brother Yangyang thought.
They could tell that their sister had feelings for Huo Jiling. Just like what Huo Jiling said, if her sister didn’t want to, no one could force her.
Li Muyao’s personality was like that!
“Yes, fate!”
Yang Hongzhi sighed at the word fate again, but he was also a little suspicious. Did the old lady of the Huo family know more? For example, the death of a good friend five years ago?
Li Muyao didn’t know that Huo Jiling’s appearance had caused Yang Hongzhi to dig deep into his memories. She didn’t even know that Yang Hongzhi’s memories had helped her at such an important moment.
Now, Li Muyao and Huo Jiling first went in the direction where they had picked up the copper ore. They spread out and started to look for it.
Li Muyao and Huo Jiling both picked up some copper ores, but it wasn’t as much as they had expected. Li Muyao looked down at the copper ores in the basket and said,”Why didn’t we find these things when we came here to train for so many years?
Were these copper ores thrown out by me or from the mountains? Moreover, I’ve never heard of any copper ore here since I was young, but there’s a tin mine in the neighboring county.”
Pinglan County was the county where Li Muyao had lived since she was young. There were so many mountains of all sizes in the entire county, but she had never heard of copper ores, let alone the mountains that Li Muyao and her father often came to train in.
Moreover, this was the path to the grave mountain. People would come here almost every two to three days. If there was copper ore, wouldn’t they have discovered it earlier?
“Mooncake, have you forgotten about your good luck? Anyway, we’re not in a hurry. We’ll take our time to search and confirm. At that time, regardless of whether it was true or not, he would make a call back to Jin City, and his boss would arrange for some people to come over and investigate this area to see if there were really copper ores.”
Except for coal mines, Huo Jiling didn’t know if other ores could be privately developed.
Even though Huo Jiling had been back in China for almost a year, he wasn’t familiar with the laws and regulations in this area, but it shouldn’t be a problem for him to call his brother.
“Okay, then I’ll take you to climb the mountain. If your body can take it, I’ll take you to Guanyin Mountain. I’ve asked Xiao Yu and Yang Yang to contract many mountains over there.
There’s also a hot spring. It’s just that it hasn’t been officially developed yet.
Otherwise, it’ll be good for your recovery if I take you to soak in it..”
