Chapter 504 Inquiry.
Chapter 504 Inquiry.
Hearing his caring words, Si He felt even happier. She wanted to shake her head and say it was okay, but a thought struck her, and she restrained her smile a little. She pursed her lips slightly, nodded, and said, "It might be the sun. I have a bit of heatstroke."
The heatstroke was fake, but her discomfort was real, so it wasn't a lie.
The wind from the forest blew away the few loose strands of hair on her forehead, which made her look quite pitiful against her pale face.
In front of him, she always acted weak and delicate. People who didn't know her might think she was a weak woman, but almost everyone here had seen her fierce side.
The contrast is so obvious that it makes people feel like they are two different people.
In fact, if possible, she didn't want to show her cruel side in front of him, for fear that he would be unhappy, so she would not take action unless it was necessary.
Yue Fuli looked at her expectant look, and a different emotion appeared in his heart. He didn't know when it started, but when facing her, he was no longer as indifferent as he was at the beginning.
He obviously didn't like pretentious women, but every time she looked at him with longing eyes, he would unconsciously soften his heart and his bottom line would be lowered again and again.
He said, "Sit down and take a rest."
It is normal to get heatstroke in the hot weather nowadays. You can only rest more in a cool place and drink more water.
As he spoke, he went to get the kettle.
It was just a simple word, just a simple action, and her heart leaped with joy again.
She suppressed the urge to curl up the corners of her mouth, lowered her eyes silently, and sat down on the big rock next to him.
However, she was indeed a little tired at this moment.
However, just as she sat down, Mo Mo's big head rested on her legs. She looked at it helplessly, "Mo Mo, your head is too heavy."
The big head, as big as a large basin, is really heavy.
Today it is no longer comparable to what it used to be. Although it has been intentionally made lighter, it is still very heavy.
She reached out and touched its head, but the cool touch was really comfortable.
Upon hearing this, Mo Mo had no choice but to move. He turned his body and put his head on the huge body, facing her, and hissed.
A big river turtle not far away also crawled over slowly. It looked at Si He curiously, then at Mo Mo, and finally it lay quietly on the grass behind Mo Mo, looking well behaved.
Yue Fuli brought the kettle and handed it to her.
"Thank you, husband."
She arched her brows and reached out to take the kettle happily.
However, when she took the kettle, her fingertips accidentally touched his fingertips, and the slightly cool touch was separated from hers immediately.
She didn't feel anything, but his eyes seemed to darken a little. After withdrawing his hand, his fingertips couldn't help but curl up slightly, as if the place he had just touched was faintly hot.
Si He didn't notice his subtle expression. She lowered her eyes, uncorked the kettle, and drank two sips of water to moisten her throat. Then she looked at Yue Fuli again and said, "Husband, why are you here?"
He glanced at Mo Mo next to him and said, "Someone in the village ahead said there was a giant snake in the melon field. We happened to be passing by and heard the news, so we followed the trail on the ground and came here. We didn't expect it to be so smart."
Hearing this, Si He glanced at a green watermelon at her feet. She was a little puzzled as to why there was a watermelon here. It turned out that Mo Mo brought it from the watermelon field.
She remembered that Momo didn't like eating watermelon very much before. Her gaze turned to the big river turtle not far away. Perhaps, Momo might have picked it for it?
However, this is not important. She looked up at Yue Fuli and said, "Of course, Momo is very smart and well-behaved."
He has always been a man of few words, so it was rare for him to explain so much to her. Moreover, hearing his praise for Mo Mo, Si He's smile deepened.
"Hiss~" Mo Mo called out softly at this time, as if responding to the two people's praise.
Yue Fuli retracted his gaze and looked back at Si He, then changed the subject and said, "It's just that it was a little strange that when it first saw me, it seemed very excited and its attitude was very intimate."
When he looked at her at this moment, his eyes were somewhat ambiguous and inquiring.
Si He looked into his deep, dark eyes, blinked, and smiled faintly, "Perhaps, my husband, you resemble my master when he was young."
As she spoke, she glanced at the talisman tied around his waist and added, "Also, my husband is wearing the master's talisman. Momo was raised by the master since he was a child and is very familiar with it. That's why he got a little excited when he saw you, my husband."
When their eyes met, her gaze was sincere and she had a faint smile, as if it was really as she said.
At this time, Momo cried out again, "hiss~"
Yue Fuli lowered his eyes to look at it, and saw it stretched its head towards him and rubbed his body gently, or rather, rubbed the talisman on his waist.
This action seemed to verify what she said.
Momo is awesome!
Si He couldn't help but praise him in her heart, but fearing Yue Fuli would ask further questions, she changed the subject and said, "Husband, what did that girl surnamed Chen do earlier? I heard Mo Mo's roar from afar. Did she seem to have angered Mo Mo?"
Si He was curious. How was Chen Sangsang planning to seduce Mo Mo? Earlier, by the river, they had only seen a few white, tender piglets and fruits displayed, clearly intended to lure them.
Unfortunately, I was delayed due to feeling unwell and didn’t see the situation at that time.
Yue Fuli said: "The woman called its name."
Hearing this, Si He opened her eyes wide and asked, "She called 'Mo Mo's name?"
"Yeah." He responded lightly.
Si He's eyes suddenly became complicated, with a hint of coldness.
In this world, there are only a handful of people who know Mo Mo's name, so how did Chen Sangsang know it?
This situation was exactly as I had guessed before.
At this time, the sound of horse hooves was heard again in the woods. After a while, several guards came hurriedly, reporting something urgent to Yue Fuli.
It was the first time for those guards to see Mo Mo. When they saw its huge body from afar, they couldn't help but stare wide-eyed. Mainly because it was lying obediently on the grass, looking harmless, and the master and the lady were beside it, acting indifferent. This scene was quite shocking.
Their horses even stopped at a distance, refused to move forward, and became very agitated and restless.
The other guards stayed at a distance, also looking indifferent, as if they no longer found it strange.
This made them a little puzzled. What was going on?
Before, they only heard that their master came to look for the trace of a giant snake, but they didn't know the details.
However, I have important matters to report right now and have no time to think about it.
Helplessly, they could only dismount hastily, then stepped forward with some trepidation to report the news, "Master, there is unusual movement in Xishawan."
