Ji Yanyi made a soft sound, then his eyes flew open. "Will the little brother come back too?"
"How could it be that fast?"
Bo Yuxu said helplessly, but thinking of his mother's abilities, he gave a faint smile as he helped Ji Yanyi with his coat. "Just know that she'll bring good news."
Ji Yanyi nodded belatedly and buttoned his buttons belatedly. Then he blushed.
"When I get up earlier than you next time, I'll prepare your clothes like this too."
Bo Yuxu said nothing. He thought it was good for people to have dreams.
When the black car drove into the yard, Bo Yuxu didn't see anyone in the back seat. He couldn't help looking at Bo Xin. "Mom."
"Don't worry. I have an idea."
Bo Yuxu's eyes lit up. "Can I do something?"
Bo Xin rested her chin on her hand and thought seriously for a moment. "You can be a decoy."
Her eyes swept over Ji Yanyi. "You too."
He Yewan, taking the initiative, quickly asked, "Me too?"
Bo Xin shook her head. "You can still be a teacher."
The kind who hands out things to kids.
Because this matter needed to be known to everyone, all thirty-seven people from Hengxing were spreading the word. There were no loudspeakers here, and even if there were, it would be too strange. News heard firsthand is the most believable. This was thanks to the fact that the two villages didn't interact much, so even if unfamiliar faces appeared, no one would notice.
Bo Xin scribbled on paper. She could roughly tell that the child's foot had been severed by a sharp instrument. That was the most disgusting part. The method she could think of was to disconnect and reconnect the bones. Fortunately, they hadn't arrived too late; otherwise, even if curable, the child's growth would result in one leg being shorter than the other.
Bo Xin thought it over and realized that no matter how anxious she was, she had to return to treat him. The best medical conditions were there. She would bring the child back tomorrow. Though she had told the two children it would be easy, their roles were actually quite important.
Ji Yanyi firmly remembered what Mom said. 'Decoy' meant delaying the family members from going home.
Ye Laoqi indeed did not bring Ye Jinyi. First, the limp was troublesome; second, he had to stay home and cook for them. Ye Changbao was their only son. Since hearing about the children's toys, he had been clamoring to come. Of course, they couldn't bear to refuse him. If they ran out before his turn, he would smash the stall. How could the line be so long? Even if it was free, you couldn't do this.
Ye Laoqi was weak in health and hadn't worked in years. He started sweating after standing for a while. Ye Changbao was the same. He was only holding on with the desire to get a new toy, because the other brothers all had them. His legs were trembling from standing.
He also patted his stomach, thinking it was a waste to have eaten such good chicken legs and not be able to take a nap.
"Why didn't you bring Ye Jinyi? If he came, he could carry me."
He worked all year round and was much stronger than his father.
Ye Laoqi didn't want to go. It wasn't easy to ride a bike with someone on the back. But if Ye Jinyi came, he could walk... That might be worth it.
"You're such a big kid. Can't even stand steady? Need someone to carry you?"
Ji Yanyi stood with his hands on his hips, looking Ye Changbao up and down with contempt.
Bo Yuxu was shocked by Yanyi's impulsiveness, but he thought that if Yanyi weren't impulsive, he wouldn't be Yanyi. However, the damage was pathetically low.
Bo Yuxu covered his face, unable to watch.
Sure enough, Ye Changbao was unfazed.
A glint of malice flickered in his eyes. "I can stand steady. It's not me who can't stand steady."
Bo Yuxu's face instantly darkened. His eyes were somber. "It's scary that something raised on pig feed can speak human language."
Author's note: The catch-up chapter isn't finished yet. Will make up for it in the early morning. The author is a total night owl. Everyone don't wait—read it during the day~ Hopefully I can write until the rescue~ Second edit: The weak author got sleepy as soon as I started writing. Going to sleep first, wuwuwu. The gap between ideal and reality.
