178 Help
“Don’t worry, I definitely won’t regret it!” Luo Cheng said confidently.
Li Xiaoran only smiled and didn’t say anything else. Then, the two of them looked for winter bamboo shoots and dug them.
When the sun set, Li Xiaoran had already dug up a basket of winter bamboo shoots.
!!
Li Shun also dug up a lot of winter bamboo shoots, which filled most of the basket.
It looked like a lot, but there wouldn’t be much left when they went back and peeled it.
“These winter bamboo shoots are also very delicious to make soup with!” Zhao Xiu looked at these winter bamboo shoots and said, “When I was young, I saw my parents cooking winter bamboo shoots in the soup. That soup was so delicious that I’ll remember it for the rest of my life!”
“Mother, if you want to eat it, just cook it! Don’t reminisce anymore. You can’t mistreat your body!” When Li Xiaoran heard her mother’s words, she immediately picked up a few winter bamboo shoots and stuffed them into Zhao Xiu’s hand.
Zhao Xiu looked at the winter bamboo shoots in her hand and smiled.
“Alright, I’ll go make winter bamboo shoots now! I’ll let you guys have a mouthful of delicious soup tonight!”
With that, Zhao Xiu ran towards the kitchen happily.
“Since this winter bamboo shoot is so delicious, let’s go out and dig tomorrow!” Li Xiaoqing thought of something and said.
Li Shun thought of something and said, “This winter bamboo shoots aren’t easy to dig. Most of them are buried in the ground. It’s really not easy to find inexperienced people! I’ll go and take a look tomorrow! I reckon the bamboo forest we went to previously has been dug up. We have to find another bamboo forest!”
Speaking of the bamboo forest, Luo Cheng thought of a place.
“I know a bamboo forest. Few people go there! Why don’t I go with you tomorrow?!”
“I think it’s fine! Tomorrow, my dad will go to the bamboo forest. My husband and I will go to the mountains to look!” Li Xiaoran agreed readily.
At that moment, there was a knock on the door.
“Is Luo Cheng at home?”
As soon as Li Shun heard this voice, he immediately recognized who it was and quickly ran over.
“Brother Guan, why are you here?”
Li Shun asked with a smile when he opened the door and saw that it was really Guan Dongshan.
“I came to see Luo Cheng about something. Is he back?”
“Yes, yes. Come in quickly!” Li Shun replied as he let Guan in. He closed the door behind him.
Guan Dongshan saw Luo Cheng as soon as he came in. He thought for a moment and said, “Luo Cheng, can we talk in private?”
As soon as Luo Cheng heard Guan Dongshan’s words, he glanced at him and guessed Guan Dongshan’s intentions.
“Sure. Uncle Guan, go to my study!” Luo Cheng thought for a moment and nodded.
After that, the two of them left.
Seeing this, Li Shun came to Li Xiaoran’s side.
“Daughter, why is Guan Dongshan looking for Luo Cheng?”
“It’s most likely related to Guan Kang!” Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and said.
“I thought so too!” Li Shun agreed.
He couldn’t help, so he didn’t follow them.
Therefore, after saying this, Li Shun didn’t say anything else and went to the kitchen to help Zhao Xiu cook.
On the other side, after Luo Cheng sat down with Guan Dongshan, he poured a cup of tea.
“Are you here about your son?” Luo Cheng asked.
Guan Dongshan nodded and told him why he was here.
“You know Kang’er’s situation too! I can guarantee that Kang’er’s blood really doesn’t have the same effects as the rumors outside. It’s just that many people don’t want to believe it. As you can see, if everyone comes to take some of Kang’er’s blood, I’m afraid my son won’t live long! So I want to ask you to protect Kang’er! As long as you protect Kang’er, I’m willing to exchange a silver mine for it!”
Luo Cheng was shocked when he heard Guan Dongshan’s words.
“Uncle Guan, do you know what you’re talking about?”
“I know very well what I’m talking about!” Guan Dongshan smiled bitterly and said, “At this point, I won’t hide it from you! Actually, my ancestors discovered a silver mine a long time ago. It’s just that at that time, my ancestors also knew that this matter would cause trouble if it spread, so they kept it a secret and passed it down from generation to generation. I don’t know why, but when it reached my father’s generation, there was a problem. The news actually leaked out. Many people were secretly inquiring about this silver mine!”
“In order to protect me, my father pretended to fall out with me and chased me and my wife out of the house. He let us leave our family and come to Hele Village to settle down. However, things went wrong. First, my son almost died in his mother’s womb. Now that my son was finally saved, he’s in danger! After thinking about it, I can only ask you for help!” Guan Dongshan said.
Luo Cheng suddenly said when he heard Guan Dongshan’s words.
“May I ask what Guan Yongming has to do with you?”
When Guan Dongshan heard Luo Cheng’s words, his eyes suddenly widened.
“That’s my uncle! Luo Cheng, how do you know him? It’s just that my uncle has been missing for decades. Have you seen him somewhere?”
Luo Cheng fell silent when he heard Guan Dongshan’s question.
At this moment, the study was silent except for the sound of their breathing.
After a while, Luo Cheng said, “Send Guan Kang to live with me! As long as he doesn’t leave my house, he’ll be fine. As for the silver mine, I’ll pretend that I didn’t hear it, and you’ll keep quiet from now on! If you don’t want to cause trouble for your family, keep quiet from now on. Even if you die, you can’t tell anyone!”
Guan Dongshan didn’t expect Luo Cheng to really agree. He even warned him not to tell anyone about the silver mine.
At this moment, he still understood that Luo Cheng’s actions must have something to do with his uncle, Guan Yongming.
“How is my uncle now?” Guan Dongshan suddenly asked.
Luo Cheng was silent. In the end, he only said a few words.
“He’s dead!”
As soon as he said this, Guan Dongshan’s face turned pale.
“How? How did this happen?”
Luo Cheng sighed when he saw Guan Dongshan like this.
“Your uncle is an upright and loyal person! I owe him a favor, so I’ll return it to your son today! As for other things, Uncle Guan, don’t ask! Don’t mention your uncle again in the future!”
Guan Dongshan nodded. Although he didn’t understand why, since Luo Chen told him to keep it a secret, it meant that there must be many factors involved.
Once these things were exposed, there would be no peace waiting for him.
Therefore, after leaving this room, he should forget everything he knew.
“Don’t worry, I’ll keep my mouth shut! I’ll leave Kang’er to you in the future!” Guan Dongshan finally made a decision.
“Don’t worry, I definitely won’t regret it!” Luo Cheng said confidently.
