"Grandma, what happened?"

"Ning Meng, those people at the entrance of the village don't know what's going on, they suddenly went door to door looking for strong men, saying that they want to work in the back mountain!"

"Then why fight?"

"It's not a fight, it's just that the young people in the village felt it was unfair and wanted to refuse, so naturally there was a conflict. Now the village chief is here and is mediating!"

As soon as the voice fell, there was a loud knock on the door: "Is anyone there? Open the door!"

Gu Shi's face changed suddenly, and his tone was filled with a trace of worry: "What should I do, they don't know if they know Ah Chen?"

"Leave everything to me, you don't have to worry."

Ning Meng comforted Gu Shi softly, then walked to open the door calmly.

"Where's your man?"

"Missed and never returned."

"what?"

"It's like this, there are only orphans, widows and mothers left in this family, and an old man!"

The village head hurried forward and explained: "This is something that everyone in the village knows, just ask around and you will know the truth!"

"Better not lie to us."

The man looked around for a while, then turned and left.

Seeing that people left, Gu Shi also breathed a sigh of relief.

Ning Meng looked at the leaving figure and frowned. Could it be that something urgent happened, so they suddenly changed their strategy?
"Ning Meng, these people are weird, you must not provoke them."

Seeing Ning Meng's silence, Gu Shi looked at her seriously: "Especially when Ah Chen is not at home, if something really happens, what will the two little ones and I do?"

"Grandma, don't worry, I won't mess around."

Seeing Gu Shi's worried face, Ning Meng smiled lightly: "I can't control that much."

"That's good, let's just live in peace, at least we have to wait for Ah Chen to come back."

"……understood."

That night:

Ning Meng read for a while and was about to go to bed when she was startled by the sound outside the window.

At first, she thought it was an illusion, but after listening carefully, she found something was wrong.

After a slight pause, she decided to go out and have a look.

As a result, just as the door was opened, he was startled by the black figure in front of the door!
"Ah...uh..."

"it's me!"

A low and hoarse familiar voice rang in her ears, making her stiff, a little unbelievable!

Gradually, a familiar masculine breath came to her nostrils, which also calmed her pounding heart.

"You're back?"

"Shh!"

Lu Chen motioned her to keep her voice down, and lowered her voice: "I have something else to do, so I shouldn't show up."

Ning Meng: "..."

In that case, what did he do when he came back?
"What's the situation with the people at the entrance of the village?"

Seeing her in a daze, Lu Chen thought deeply on his stern face, but his tone was a bit serious: "Tell me?"

Ning Meng came back to her senses, puffed her mouth, and told what happened recently.

"Do you think they came here for the iron ore?"

"Well, eighty to ninety percent."

"Then what should we do now?"

"Don't worry, you can bear it for another two or three days, and the people over there will come."

"But they have gathered the strong men in the village today, and they plan to start going up the mountain tomorrow."

"There's no mountain here, is there?"

"makes sense!"

"Find a way to notify them and let them pretend to delay the time, but you must pay attention to safety."

Lu Chen was silent for a while, and looked at Ning Meng with deep eyes: "You are not allowed to go!"

Ning Meng: "..."

"Forget it, you'd better not get involved, I'll talk to the village chief directly."

Lu Chen took a look at Ning Meng, and his tone became firm: "Just watch the two little ones at home."

"No, what do you mean by that?"

Ning Meng pursed her lips and stared at him dissatisfied: "You think I'm useless?"

"Why do you, a woman, want to join in the fun?"

Lu Chen gave her a disgusted look: "I don't know martial arts, if something happens, how can I escape?"

"I……"

"You are already the mother of two children, can you pay more attention to your personal safety?"

Lu Chen interrupted Ning Meng's words unceremoniously, with a serious tone: "Sometimes it is the smartest way to stop."

Ning Meng: "..."

What the hell?

I really don't understand!
"Have you missed me recently?"

A sudden magnetic sound rang in her ears, and the scorching breath made her stiffen all over, and she even looked astonished!
"what?"

What is he talking about?

Did the topic change too quickly?

Or is she mistaken?
"Why, never miss me?"

"What do you want?"

Ning Meng's eyes flickered, but she blurted out.

When he asked her this question, her heart was pounding, and an inexplicable feeling surged up, but she couldn't explain why!
These days, she does think of him from time to time, and even inexplicably appears in her mind...

But now in front of him, how could she admit it?

A trace of helplessness and connivance flashed in Lu Chen's black eyes, he stretched out his hand but unceremoniously pinched her smooth face, with a half-smile: "A woman without a heart!"

Ning Meng's eyes widened, and she looked at him in disbelief: "..."

The next second, as if thinking of something, she slapped his hand off angrily: "Speak as you speak, why move your hands?"

Lu Chen smiled instead of anger, looking at the red cheeks pinched by him, his eyes became darker: "Really miss me?"

Ning Meng pursed her lips, as if angry: "No."

"It's a pity that I still miss you all the time, and try to come back soon!"

Lu Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, and his tone contained a hint of grievance and resentment: "It seems that I am being sentimental!"

Ning Meng's heart jumped inexplicably, a little inconceivable and shocked, did he know what he was talking about?
He was obviously hot and cold towards her before!

How do you feel like a different person now?

It's so weird!

Could it be...he has a fever?
Thinking of this, she naturally reached for his forehead with her hand, muttering to herself: I don't have a fever!
A crack appeared on Lu Chen's stern face, he pulled her hand down helplessly, and his tone became unclear: "I'm fine, I'm fine!"

Ning Meng's face was inexplicably hot, she withdrew her hand in embarrassment, pursed her mouth and said nothing.

In an instant, an ambiguous atmosphere lingered around, but it was inexplicably harmonious.

"It's getting late, I have to leave first."

Lu Chen lowered his head and looked at her deeply: "Be careful!"

Ning Meng froze for a moment, then frowned slightly: "How long do we have to leave?"

"Just a few days!"

Seeing her concerned expression, Lu Chen smiled softly: "Why, worry about me?"

The corner of Ning Meng's mouth twitched slightly, and she said angrily, "What are you worried about? It's none of my business whether you come back or not, I'm used to it!"

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding air was instantly condensed again, becoming a little weird and depressing.

Inexplicably, Ning Meng's body trembled, and she instinctively wanted to stay away from him!

As a result, just as he took a step back, there was a hand around his waist, and he threw himself uncontrollably at someone.
