Chapter 25 The Cabin in the Woods
The morning dew rolled on the tips of the leaves, brushed by Shen Jiangge's toes, and rolled down quickly.

The morning light shone on her hurried figure, sending her away all the way.

"Uncle Li should be anxious after not going back for so long."

Shen Jiangge was most afraid of Uncle Li nagging him. If he was caught this time, he would be nagging him no matter how many times.

In the far north corner of the city, a small house stood alone, as if it were isolated from the world.

The hut is surrounded by tall trees. It is not easy to spot the existence of the hut without looking carefully.

There are also various flowers and plants planted next to the hut, which look a bit colorful at first glance.

Among these flowers, there was a middle-aged man in his forties who was bending over to fertilize and water the flowers.

He was very interested in these flowers and plants, and would even squat down to look carefully at the underside of the leaves to see if there were any insects.

He was doing this seriously, and from time to time he would look up at the entrance of the forest, looking a little worried.

"Uncle Li - I'm back -"

As soon as Shen Jiangge entered the forest, he waved his hands and shouted at Li Mo.

As soon as Li Mo heard Shen Jiangge's voice, he quickly put down what he was doing and ran out of the flower field in a few steps. He grabbed Shen Jiangge and pinched her ears.

"pain--"

Shen Jiangge deliberately pretended to grin, his face full of grievance like a cat.

Sure enough, Li Mo felt soft and let her go when he saw her crying out in pain.

But he still put on a black face and asked reproachfully: "Where did you go so crazy that you didn't come home for three days and three nights? Are you bullying your uncle that Li is old and can't control you anymore? Huh?"

"Hehehe... I heard that the son of the Dog Emperor is here..."

Shen Jiangge grinned at Li Mo guiltily and muttered.

"You, you ran to find someone to take revenge???"

Li Mo's face turned darker instantly. He picked up the broom beside him and swung it to hit her.

"Uncle Li, Uncle Li, I know I'm wrong, I know I'm wrong... Ouch..."

Shen Jiangge quickly got out of the way, hiding and begging for mercy, but no matter how she hid, she was still beaten hard in the end.

"I've already said it, but I know I'm wrong...and yet I'm so harsh..."

Shen Jiangge simply sat on the ground and could not get up, complaining softly.

"Do you know how dangerous it is for you to go alone?! If you die there alone, how do you want me to explain to your dead mother?! I will punish you by kneeling down in front of your mother's memorial tablet! You are not allowed to do so before noon Let’s go out to eat, do you hear me?!”

Li Mo was so angry that his hand holding the broom was trembling, and he drove Shen Jiangge to kneel down like a duck.

"understood……"

Shen Jiangge knew that Li Mo was worried about her, so he had no choice but to kneel down obediently.

She just stood up and wanted to leave, but was pulled back by Li Mo.

Li Mo sniffed her suspiciously, and his face became even more livid.

He asked sullenly: "Where's the medicine I asked you to keep with you?"

Shen Jiangge didn't expect Uncle Li to have such a keen sense of smell, so he subconsciously had to lie and said: "Well, my assassination failed and I was injured a little, so I ate it myself."

"Eat it yourself?"

Li Mo looked at Shen Jiangge suspiciously.

He just wanted to grab Shen Jiangge's wrist and check for pulse, but Shen Jiangge slipped away like a loach.

"Uncle Li, I want to eat beggar's chicken for lunch!"

Shen Jiangge shamelessly ordered food while running, which made Li Mo keep shaking his head.

"Alas...this child...I'm afraid he's becoming more and more uncontrollable..."

Li Mo lowered his head and sighed helplessly, and could only go to the backyard to kill the chicken.Shen Jiangge entered a remote cabin, which contained only a desk. On the desk was her mother's memorial tablet, and in front of the tablet was the crabapple flower that was said to be her mother's favorite during her lifetime.

This crabapple flower is fresh every day, because Uncle Li will pick the most blooming one from the flower field and place it in front of the memorial tablet every day.

Shen Jiangge slowly knelt in front of the memorial tablet and whispered guiltily: "Mother, the child is unfilial and failed to kill the son of the enemy."

The tablet was silent there, like a listener who would never betray.

Li Mo's figure stood slowly outside the door, staring at Shen Jiangge who was kneeling a little numb, and sighed softly.

Finally, he turned around and slowly walked into the forest.

When it was noon, Li Mo coughed twice and said with a face: "Kneeling is enough. Come on, come and eat."

Shen Jiangge felt released upon hearing this and immediately wanted to get up, but his legs were so numb that he could only smile at Li Mo.

Li Mo glared at her and stepped forward to help her up.

"Look, it's better for Uncle Li. Having a hard mouth but a soft heart hurts me the most."

Shen Jiangge stood on Li Mo's back and said half-flatteringly.

"Come here. I just went out to buy spices. I heard from my neighbors that the dog official surnamed Zhou embezzled money for disaster relief and killed people. Everyone got the stolen goods. His house was ransacked by the fourth prince and he was imprisoned. If nothing else happens, tomorrow in the capital, Once the order comes, it will be his death.”

Li Mo talked about what he heard as he walked, but he paid attention to Shen Jiangge's reaction from the corner of his eyes.

Shen Jiangge had already expected this, but she still deliberately prolonged her voice "Oh——" to express confusion and surprise, as if she had just learned the news.

"In this way, the victims outside the city will be saved. It seems that the Dog Emperor's sons are also capable of doing practical things."

Shen Jiangge shrugged and said calmly.

"I also heard that the people from Linglong Pavilion were very helpful in this case. I also heard that Ji Yuhan seemed to have a fight with some beautiful woman on the bank of the Qinhuai River on the first night..."

The more Li Mo said about Shen Jiangge, the more guilty he felt. So when he said this, Shen Jiangge let go of his hand and ran towards the kitchen excitedly with an expression on his face like "I didn't hear anything." go.

"Uncle Li, your skill at braised beggar's chicken is getting better and better. You can smell the aroma from far away!"

"You should make it clear, are you involved in anything? This little girl is getting better and better at lying to me..."

Li Mo was panting after chasing her, but Shen Jiangge deliberately avoided his question.

"It's delicious."

Shen Jiangge pulled a big chicken drumstick, shook it towards Li Mo, smiled brightly and said, "Uncle Li, did you add chili pepper today? Hehe, it's so fragrant that my mouth is almost drooling."

"Hmph, if you don't tell the truth, you won't be able to eat any of them!"

Li Mo pretended to be angry and went to grab the chicken legs, but Shen Jiangge held his hand down.

"No, no, I've been kneeling all morning, why are you still so angry..."

"Cough cough cough cough - okay, okay, stop shaking, eat, eat."

Li Mo was shaken helplessly by her, so he gave up and turned around and coughed violently several times.

"Uncle Li, what's the matter with you?"

Shen Jiangge asked with concern when he saw that Li Mo's expression was not right.

"It's okay, it's still the same old problem. Eat your food quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold."

"Yeah! Okay! Come on, here's a piece for you!"

"Hmph, you want to lie to me again?"

"No, let me make up for you——"

"Hahahaha, I didn't hurt you little girl in vain!"

Li Mo's hearty laughter echoed throughout the room.

Outside the window, the begonia flowers were blooming just right.
