God's Gift

"I don't know either. Dad didn't tell me." The clan leader's daughter-in-law looked bitter. "We can't go up the mountain, and we don't know what happened to Dad."

"Why do you care about him? He wants to go to the mountain, who can stop him?" Granny Li said in a bad tone, "Even if something really happened to him, there's nothing we can do. Anyway, he has lived for so long, it's time for him to live long enough."

"But if the man in my family knew that I didn't take good care of my father, he would beat me to death." Tears gradually gathered in the eyes of the clan leader's daughter-in-law. "He will be back soon. What should I do?"

Hearing this, Granny Li fell silent, and finally sighed, "Then you can ask someone to go to the mountain to find him. There's no point in worrying here."

"Okay, I'll go right away." The patriarch's daughter-in-law raised her hand to wipe away her tears, turned around and hurried out the door.

Yu Youyou shook her ears twice and buried her head to continue chewing on the ribs.

Grandma Li looked at the back of the clan leader's daughter-in-law and sighed deeply. She patted her apron twice and turned into the house.

After she walked into the house, Lu Keming walked out slowly. Yu Youyou heard the footsteps and looked up at him.

"What did you say?" Lu Keming took out a handkerchief and wiped Yu Youyou's mouth in an orderly manner, and asked casually.

"Say..." Yu Youyou tilted her head, thought for a moment, and repeated the original words: "Isn't there still a few days left?"

She shook her ears and added, "Then the old lady said that the patriarch had lived long enough and it was time for him to die!"

"..." Lu Keming raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise: "Are you sure that's what grandma said?"

"That's what I mean anyway." Yu Youyou nodded and said affirmatively.

After listening to this, Lu Keming pondered for a few seconds and suddenly laughed, "It turns out that Granny Li doesn't like him either."

However, since he is the head of the family, why wouldn't Granny Li like him?

The corners of his mouth gradually rose, and there was deep meaning in his eyes.

"That aunt asked people to go to the mountain to find the clan leader." Yu Youyou looked at Lu Keming's expression and added.

“Really?” Lu Keming shifted his attention back to Yu Youyou. He reached out and slowly stroked Yu Youyou’s fur, then added in an ambiguous tone, “Then I wish them good luck.”

Yu Youyou tilted her head and looked at Lu Keming. After a few seconds, she suddenly said, "Why should you wish them good luck? Didn't you kill the clan leader? They will definitely not be able to find it."

Her words reached Lu Keming's ears. Lu Keming's gaze froze for a moment. He slowly looked at Yu Youyou and asked, "How did you know?"

He obviously avoided Yu Youyou on purpose and dealt with the clan leader cleanly, leaving no trace at all.

"You smelled like the clan leader last night." Yu Youyou answered as a matter of course, not finding it surprising at all.

Lu Keming looked at Yu Youyou's nose and then realized that her sense of smell was very sensitive now.

Lu Keming was silent for a while, looking at Yu Youyou's extremely calm attitude, he couldn't help but ask: "What do you think if I kill him?"

Yu Youyou was still concentrating on eating. When she heard Lu Keming's question, she looked up at him curiously, "What do you think about this?"

"I am a bad guy." Lu Keming looked at Yu Youyou's indifferent expression, his hands gradually clenched, waiting for her answer.

But Yu Youyou looked at Lu Keming with an even weirder look in her eyes. She hesitated to speak, and finally said, "I know, you don't have to tell me anymore."

Lu Keming was stunned for a second, then lowered his eyes again.

Well, what he did before had never escaped her, how could she not know.

"I'm a bad guy, but you're not afraid of me." He murmured, then raised his eyes to look at Yu Youyou and asked, "Why?"

People in the world have always sought benefits and avoided harm, pursued sunshine and despised darkness. Who would be like her?

Yu Youyou looked at Lu Keming's expression and gradually reacted. She belatedly responded, "Ah..."

Yes, it seems that humans care about good and evil.

Thinking of this, Yu Youyou nodded with sudden realization.

Also, not all creatures are as amoral as the fish in their seas.

For creatures in the sea, cannibalism is common, and hunting other species is also normal. Everything they do is for survival, and no fish would think there is anything wrong with that.

After all, survival is such a cruel thing.

But since Lu Keming cares... Yu Youyou looked at Lu Keming, raised her paw and patted Lu Keming's hand comfortingly.

"It's okay. The tribe leader is even worse than you. My mother said that evil people will be punished by evil people. If you capsize in the gutter, you will encounter ghosts if you walk too much on the road at night..."

Lu Keming, who was being comforted by Yu Youyou, didn't feel comforted at all.

Yu Youyou was talking excitedly, but Lu Keming suddenly raised his hand and held her head, pulling up the corners of his mouth and smiling, stopping her from continuing, "Okay, I get it."

"Really?" Yu Youyou looked at Lu Keming in disbelief.

"Really." Lu Keming's voice was extremely sincere, but there was a hint of evasion in that sincerity.

Before Yu Youyou could say anything else, Granny Li came out with a backpack on her back and a hoe in her hand. She looked at Yu Youyou sitting on the stool and called out, "Youyou, go to the fields."

When Yu Youyou heard this, she quickly jumped off the stool and asked Lu Keming hurriedly, "I'm going to the fields, do you want to come?"

"it is good."

Then she followed Granny Li closely, her ears flapping in the air as she ran, like two little fans.

Lu Keming breathed a sigh of relief and was about to follow when a picture flashed in his mind and he suddenly stopped.

How did Yu Youyou know that the patriarch was a bad guy?

There was an unclear emotion in his indigo eyes. He clenched the hands at his side and followed as if nothing had happened.

-

The clan leader's daughter-in-law asked the men in the village to search the mountain for two days, but still could not find the clan leader.

Lu Keming and Anthony stood in the yard, watching the crowd going up the mountain. Anthony turned to look at Lu Keming and said:

"Master, I followed the villagers yesterday, and from what they said, they meant that the village was going to hold some activities recently. There were some links that only the clan leader knew about, and he had to be present, so they were in a hurry to find him."

After saying that, he became a little confused again, "It may be something related to the Ten Thousand Faces Buddha, but hasn't the Ten Thousand Buddha Festival already passed?"

Lu Keming looked expressionlessly at the crowd searching around on the distant mountain and said calmly, "Three days."

"What?" This was a little confusing to Anthony, and he didn't quickly understand what Lu Keming meant.

Lu Keming turned his head, glanced at Anthony, and explained, "They still have three days to do what they have to do."

"Master, how do you know this?" Anthony's voice was a little surprised.

"When the clan leader died, he said six days." Lu Keming stroked the dark blue gemstone on the dragon ring, his eyes gleaming with cold light.

In addition, when the clan leader's daughter-in-law came to see Granny Li a few days ago, she also mentioned how many days were left. Calculating today, there are indeed only three days left.

"Ah..." Anthony heard Lu Keming's words and remembered that he had said six to Lu Keming. He scratched his hair awkwardly, "So that's what you meant. I misunderstood."

Lu Keming looked at Anthony and replied indifferently: "I didn't expect you to understand."
