Chapter 897: No longer favourite
Shen Li looked at Yu Dong who calmly finished making a pot of warm tofu soup without a shred of meat and then turned to look at the wolves who were standing in front of the gates of the bunker causing the villagers to shrink inside the bunker, some of them did not even dare to breathe too loudly as they were worried that they might end up offending the tow great things and they will surely hurt them.
" Are you sure this is all right?" Shen Li did not wish to question Yu Dong but he couldn't help but panic a little when he saw such great wolves standing outside the bunker. From one glance it was clear that the mer whom Yu Dong brought back with her, did not have a simple identity.
What if they get into trouble because of this mer?
Yu Dong, who sat down on the ground with the pot and a bowl, turned to look at Shen Li and said, " What are you saying? Do you wish for me to throw him out?"
Shen Li: "…." I never said that.
" You don't need to worry so much," seeing that Shen Li was getting worried to the point that his pupils were shaking and leaving afterimages, Yu Dong calmly poured a bowl of soup and handed him to take a sip. " I will take him to Marquis Qiao once the snow settles down."
She met with this mer in the middle of her journey and it was getting late which was why she did not turn around and took this mer with her to magistrate Li's place and brought him back with her. Once he was settled down, she will take him back to the town and throw him at Marquis Qiao—— whoever this mer was, she did not wish to get entangled in any sort of trouble.
The reason she changed her mind and did not move to the town was because she wanted to avoid conflicts and saw the profits that she could bring with this village. If someone was to bring her down then she did not mind packing her bags and leaving as soon as possible.
Only then did Shen Li sigh in relief as he turned to look at the mer who was getting treatment from Doctor Gu and sat down before asking, " Where did you find him?"
" In the middle of the road, it seems to me that he was running from someone," Yu Dong was sharp when it came to such things, she was able to catch the traces of malnutrition and stress on the wolves. There was dried blood sticking to their fur but the blood did not belong to them, one could see that they were not only well-taught but were also capable of saving and protecting their master.
Most probably they were attacked by something when they were running which was why this mer was injured. For the sake of protecting their masters, these two wolves must have continued to run for days which was why they looked like they were on the verge of collapse.
If not for the fact, Yu Dong would have not bothered bringing them back home.
" How is Li Hanjing?" She asked as she looked at the mer who was being looked after by Chen Mi and Ye Liu while Fang Chi looked after the children and tried to distract them from running amok.
" He is not doing good," Shen Li turned to look at Li Hanjing who was weakly lying on the bed and sighed. " He was kicked in the stomach after giving birth which was why he started bleeding once again, though the bleeding has stopped—— his body is ought to get weaker."
He paused and then lowered his voice, " If he is to marry your sister then it will be a bit troublesome for him to give birth." As he spoke he turned to glance at Second Aunt Yu who was muttering furiously under her breath as she glared at Yu Tong who refused to talk with her just now.
" No wonder, she looks like someone has dug her ancestral grave," Yu Dong remarked as she went to pick up the bowl of soup only to find it that it was missing.
Stunned she turned to look at the mer who was dying just a minute ago sitting upright and finishing the last bowl of soup from the pot as he turned to look at Yu Dong and said,
" You really treat your guests very well, to think I thought you were a heartless little b*tch when I first met you," the mer spoke causing Shen Li to grab Yu Dong's hands which she almost raised to hit the mer in front of her and said in a calming voice,
" Dong Dong, he is right…we should treat our guests well and especially those who belong to the fairer gender."
He spoke hurriedly since he was worried that Yu Dong might really hit the mer who was sitting next to her.
Yu Dong's lips twitched as she looked down at the empty pot and then turned to look at the mer who was burping now that he finished eating and thought, ' Was this a guest? This was a hungry ghost!'
A part of her was furious because she was hungry but she was still able to maintain a bit of her rationality when she saw that the mer who was standing in front of her was injured and turned to look at Shen Li before saying, " I am hungry, is there anything to eat?"
Shen Li pursed his lips and then thought carefully as he said, " There is some leftover of the porridge that we made for everyone, do you want it?"
They were thinking of keeping it for the children in case they got hungry in the middle of the night since it was only a few mouthfuls but now that Yu Dong's tofu soup was gone, he could only bring that out.
That was what he thought but then he heard the mer say, " Oh there is porridge? Great. I am feeling a bit hungry."
