The man carried the backpack and walked in front, while Lu Qingheng and the little girl walked behind. He looked at her from time to time and tried to talk to her, but the little girl walked silently and ignored him.

She had been chatting with him nicely before, and she even found medicine for him, so why was she ignoring him now?

Are all children like this? Lu Qingheng didn't understand. He had never tried to talk to a child of this age.

He glanced at the man walking in front of him, gently pulled the little girl, and asked in a low voice under the cover of the chirping of insects and birds: "What is your relationship with him? Is he good to you?"

"What's it got to do with you?" The little girl pushed him away, her face flushed red, her eyes widened, her emotions fluctuated greatly. She walked quickly forward and stood next to the man.

The man glanced at her and lit another cigarette.

As they walked, the man turned around and looked at Lu Qingheng: "I almost forgot, what kind of farm work do you want to see us do?"

"You guys go back and have a rest first. The sun is so strong now. We'll talk about it tomorrow." The young man was in no mood to talk about farm work.

"Okay." The man nodded indifferently.

When they arrived at the door of the tile house, the man and the little girl turned to look at Lu Qingheng, and Lu Qingheng could only leave reluctantly.

The man turned around, put down the backpack, closed the door, and looked down at the little girl: "You are pretty good."

The little girl suddenly tightened her grip, her pupils trembling slightly.

After returning to the village chief's house, Lu Qingheng couldn't help but ask: "Village chief, I saw a father and daughter in a remote place in the village. What's their situation? Why don't they live with most people in the village?"

The village chief glanced at the young man with a strange look, and his expression gradually became melancholy: "Oh, them, Yang Lao Ba is also a poor man, his parents, brothers and sisters are all dead, and he finally got married, but his wife also died. Alas, fortunately, he still has a daughter by his side, so he is not so lonely."

Lu Qingheng felt that the look in the village chief's eyes was meaningful, so he asked, "What else? I always feel that there is something unusual about these two."

"That's all, what else?" The village chief narrowed his eyes and thought carefully, "Oh, by the way, Yang Laoba's family is in a difficult situation, and we villagers will help if we can."

"He looks a bit fierce and difficult to get along with." Lu Qingheng asked tentatively.

"He has a bit of an odd personality, but he's a nice guy and will help out if there's anything the village needs."

Lu Qingheng breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, I plan to ask him to take me to the village for fun."

"Why did you let him take you?"

"He seems to know a lot of things. I feel like I can see a lot of beautiful scenery by following him."

"Whatever," the village chief added, "it's all right."

“By the way, isn’t his daughter in school? I haven’t seen her in school?” The boy’s heart was slightly lifted.

There is a school in Yunzhao Village. The school consists of several wooden houses. The equipment in the classrooms is not only old but also emits a smell of rotten wood. There is only one teacher in the school, but the teacher is quite responsible.

After class, the students would run happily on the green grass playground, full of childlike fun.

Lu Qingheng had been there twice and felt that although the conditions there were poor, the students were very happy and comfortable. He had decided to donate some money to the school after he left.

"His daughter is too young. Children this young usually don't go to school. Besides, Yang Laoba is poor, so he may not let her go to school in the future. Why are you asking these questions?" The village chief looked at her with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.

"What if," Lu Qingheng continued, "I want to support her?"

"Her?" The village chief was surprised. "Then why don't you sponsor others? The Liu family and the Zhang family in our village are both good kids who study hard."

Lu Qingheng suppressed the discomfort in his heart: "Why is it not good to help her?"

"She..." The village chief hesitated for a long time and finally said, "She doesn't like studying. It's a waste of money to support her."

This reason was so absurd that Lu Qingheng couldn't help but look at the village chief again. The village chief was smiling at him in a flattering manner.

He retracted his gaze: "I'll think about it."

"Okay." The village chief seemed to have heard a positive answer and smiled with his eyes narrowed.

"Well, I'll go back to my room and rest first." Lu Qingheng saw that the village chief was hiding something and knew that he couldn't get any more information out of him.

"Okay," the village chief said again, "I'll go to Yang Laoba's house with you tomorrow."

"it is good."

After returning to the living room, Lu Qingheng saw the butler on the phone, and the bodyguard was nowhere to be seen.

The butler glanced at him, nodded repeatedly, and said, "Okay, okay, I understand."

"Master, where have you been? Ajie and I have been looking for you everywhere but can't find you." The housekeeper put down his phone, with a hint of blame in his eyes, "If something happens to you, how are we going to explain to the master?"

"Don't worry, I'm not a child anymore, I'll be fine."

"Master," the butler said disapprovingly, "It's better to be safe than sorry."

"I'll pay attention next time." Lu Qingheng answered casually, thinking about something.

"I have spoken to the master, and he asked you to go back in the next two days."

"No!" The boy reacted a little strongly.

"Why? We've visited all the places we could visit during this period." Besides, the conditions in the mountains are terrible. What's the point of staying here any longer?

"No," the boy said firmly, "I need a few more days."

The housekeeper asked tentatively: "How many days exactly?"

"I'm not sure yet, but I will definitely be there on the day of my father's wedding."

"This..." The butler looked at him in embarrassment.

"It's okay, I'll talk to my father."

"Okay then." The butler had no choice but to agree.

"By the way," the boy continued, "you and Ajie will go to a place with me tomorrow."

"Where to go?"

"We'll know when the time comes."

"Okay." The butler said respectfully.

Lu Qingheng returned to the room and took out his mobile phone from his pocket. Sure enough, there were many missed calls and text messages. He had muted his phone before, so he did not receive any notifications.

He sat in his chair and picked out the important replies.

With his insistence, his father finally agreed to let him stay in Yunzhao Village. He closed his mobile phone and silently looked at the scenery outside the window.

The green leaves outside the window swayed gently in the wind. The sound of insects could be heard from the direction of flowers, plants and soil. A thin mist floated on the distant mountains. The sunlight passed through the clouds and covered the trees with a layer of golden gauze. The strong and warm light symbolized brightness and hope.

However, all these beautiful scenes did not bring him any joy or comfort. At this moment, his heart was shrouded in an indescribable distress, and he was so depressed that he couldn't breathe.

He was almost anxiously awaiting the arrival of tomorrow.
