Chapter 196 - 196: She Actually Suspected That The Third Brother in Front of Her Was Fake
After leaving the Mountain God Temple, Shen Yaowei and Shen Yuyan walked along the mountain path, admiring the beautiful scenery around them as they walked up. Soon, they temporarily left the strange Mountain God Temple behind.
About two hours later, the two of them arrived halfway up the mountain.
Standing on the stone platform, Shen Yaowei saw Oriole Village at the foot of the mountain.
There was a layer of fog lingering above Oriole Village. One could only vaguely see the roofs of almost all the houses in the village, and the rest couldn’t be seen clearly.
Shen Yaowei, who had originally planned to stand at a high place to see the Feng Shui of the village, frowned slightly.
She couldn’t see anything in the fog.
But strangely, when she came out this morning, there was no fog at all in the sky above Oriole Village.
“Yaoyao, there are wild fungi over there. I’ll go pick some. Stand here and don’t run around.” Shen Yuyan looked around and suddenly found a dense cluster of wild fungi under a big tree not far away.
Shen Yaowei nodded obediently.
Shen Yuyan immediately walked toward a big tree not far away.
Shen Yuyan put down the basket on his back, squatted down in front of the big tree, rolled up his sleeves, and started digging for wild fungi.
Suddenly—
A rustling sound came from behind him. He turned his head abruptly, only to see strands of fungus-like things drilling out of the ground behind him and pouncing at him.
It was so fast that he couldn’t react.
The sticky mycelium stuck to his face, quickly wrapping his whole face.
His mouth and eyes were sealed by the hyphae, such that he couldn’t make a sound. He could only use his hands to tear the hyphae that were going to bind his body.
On the other side, Shen Yaowei, who was focused on observing Oriole Village, felt the abnormality behind her and quickly turned around.
What she saw was the afterimage of Shen Yuyan’s robe quickly flashing behind the big tree, as if it was being dragged away by something.
Shocked, Shen Yaowei shouted, “Third Brother!”
Then, she lifted her skirt and ran towards the tree.
Before she could run to the front of the tree, a figure quickly walked out from behind it.
“Yaoyao, what’s wrong?” Shen Yuyan asked with a smile as he tidied his slightly messy clothes.
Shen Yaowei stopped and looked at Shen Yuyan.
For some reason, she felt that the way her Third Brother looked at her now seemed to be a little different.
It was a little passionate.
“Third Brother, what happened to you just now?” Shen Yaowei looked at Shen Yuyan warily and asked.
“Just now, a pheasant passed by. I wanted to catch it and make soup for you, but 1 didn’t manage to catch it.” Shen Yuyan smiled gently and slowly walked up to Shen Yaowei. He reached out and rubbed her head, his tone as doting as usual. “If we encounter another pheasant later, I’ll definitely not let it escape. I’ll definitely catch it for Yaoyao to make soup, okay?”
Shen Yaowei looked at the familiar smile of the man in front of her and heaved a sigh of relief.
She was probably too nervous.
She actually suspected that the Third Brother in front of her was fake.
He was clearly her Third Brother, and even his aura was normal.
It seemed like that strange gaze was also her imagination.
“Third Brother, I still want to dig some green bamboo shoots,” Shen Yaowei said with a smile after adjusting her emotions.
“Alright, I think there will be green bamboo shoots ahead. Let’s go and have a look,” Shen Yuyan said gently.
Shen Yaowei skipped to the front. “Then let’s compete later and see who digs more green bamboo shoots.”
Shen Yuyan looked deeply at Shen Yaowei’s back as she left. He raised the hand that was touching the top of her head to his thin lips and kissed it gently.
Shen Yuyan lowered his eyes to hide the strange look that flashed across them. He smiled and chased after Shen Yaowei..
