Chapter 141.2
Struggle in Ancient Times
Seeing that Zhao Han didnât leave for a long time, Liao Tingyu said with a smile: âWhy donât you come over and help us? Stop watching over there.â
Zhao Han saw that they were busy with their work and had a clear division of labor, and knew that Liao Tingyu was asking for trouble.
Originally, he had some things that he wanted to discuss with Liao Tingyu. Judging from the situation, he probably didnât have time to talk to him. Anyway, he was not in a hurry about this matter. He would wait until Liao Tingyu was free to ask for advice.
âI wonât do it. You didnât invite me to the trip. Iâm very angry now. Just go about your business. I went to play by myself.â Zhao Han said duplicity.
Suddenly, he saw a fat mouse in the corner of the kitchen.
The childlike innocence that hadnât caused trouble for a long time emerged. No matter how hard he tried, he couldnât suppress it, so he simply followed his heart.
With a sinister smile on his face, he caught the fat mouse in his hand, tied it around his neck with a thicker hemp rope, and fastened its four legs like shackles to ensure it couldnât run.
âI donât know if heâs afraid of this thing,â Zhao Han thought as he walked.
Then, he squatted quietly under the window corner of Liao Tingyuâs study.
Liao Tingyu had a habit of reading a book every night, no matter how busy he was. He was now awaiting the moment when Liao Tingyu would open the window.
.
As the sun set and the moon rose, Liao Tingyu finally finished his previous work. He checked the supplies, and everything seemed to be in order.
âOh, itâs finally done. Now letâs go back, take a shower, get some sleep, and recuperate. Weâll set off tomorrow,â Liao Tingyu said, moving his stiff neck, creating a rattling sound.
âOkay,â the two children were the happiest, holding hands and nodding their little heads.
It had been a long time since their last picnic, and they always had a lot of fun.
âBrother, should we go find the little rabbit tomorrow?â Mi Li asked Mi Gao.
âMy father said thereâs a river over there. We can go fishing tomorrow. I donât know if there are any little rabbits by the river. If there are, weâll dig out the little rabbitâs nest,â Mi Gao said, planning for tomorrow like an adult.
âCatching fish sounds good. Last time, my brother went into the water, but I couldnât. Dad didnât allow it. I wonder if I can do it this time,â Mi Li thought about the last time, watching from afar while his brother and uncle played in the water.
âIt should be okay. Let me tell you, my dad carried me into the water when I was your age. You can ask your father to take you to play in the water tomorrow. If you listen to your father well, heâll agree,â Mi Gao shared his experience.
.
Later, Liao Tingyu felt a bit uneasy. Why did he feel like he had dug a hole for himself?
âBig brother, tomorrow is up to you,â Liao Tingyu said to Liao Shi, who was one step behind.
Liao Shi thought for a moment and nodded, âDonât worry, little brother. Iâll pay more attention to the rice grains.â
Mother Dengâs ears perked up as she looked at the two little figures jumping around. She said, âThese two little things are really happy today. I donât know when theyâll fall asleep tonight.â
âWhatever it is, as long as drowsiness comes, theyâll naturally fall asleep. If they havenât slept enough, wake them up tomorrow morning and put them in the carriage. The can sleep in the carriage,â Liao Tingyu suggested.
On the way back to the room, Liao Tingyu first went to the study to get books.
Zhao Han, with his feet numb from squatting, sighed in relief as the person finally appeared, thinking, âTook you long enough. I thought I was waiting in vain. Hehe, Iâll give you a big surprise in a minute, my dear mentor!â
He threw the fat mouse out and took advantage of Liao Tingyuâs distraction to make a quick escape.
Hearing a sound from behind, Zhao Han couldnât help but muffle a laugh. In the dim light, a soft object fell on him, emitting a sad chirping sound.
Suddenly, a squeaking noise startled Liao Tingyu, and he exclaimed, âAh!â@@novelbin@@
Huang Zilan, waiting at the door, rushed over upon hearing this. Spotting the tied-up rat, he kicked it out.
âAre you okay?â he asked with concern.
Liao Tingyu shook his head, grinning, âItâs fine. Zhao Han is really in a hurry. Weâll see how I deal with him tomorrow.â
Huang Zilan glanced at the fat mouse, suggesting, âHow about we put this thing on his bed?â
Liao Tingyu, surprised, gave him a thumbs up, âHe should be far away by now. Letâs go in the middle of the night. This little brat is getting more unruly.â
.
Later, Zhao Han slept with the fat mouse in the same room, but unfortunately, the fat mouse met a swift end when Zhao Han shot it as soon as it made a sound.
Upon waking up, Zhao Han, seeing the fat mouse with dried blood, remarked, âItâs so fat. Iâll ask the chef to roast it. Liao Tingyu really doesnât appreciate good food; heâs giving me good advantage.â
