440: Chapter 140: Why Bother in the First Place if Everything is Fine Now_1 440: Chapter 140: Why Bother in the First Place if Everything is Fine Now_1 Then, returning to the little vegetable-growing valley, he looked into the hopeful eyes of the two n and said, “Everything seems quite well.
Both children at number one’s ho have purchased new clothes, I did not realize you began looking for a wife so early.
It’s about ti for the eldest in your family to find a wife too!
Your wife is cooking in the kitchen, I suspect there’s even at, it slls delicious.
At number two, your elder brother’s family is eating.
It appears you have beco an uncle, I see your elder brother’s grandchild can already walk.
Both families are doing well.”
The two n seed deflated after hearing the last few words.
Since Yan Fei began asking them about the current situation near their hos, these two were anxiously waiting for answers.
Now that they’ve finally received the news they were expecting to hear, they were overwheld with a mixture of feelings; needless to say, they were deeply moved.
“By the way, your wife was cursing you while preparing dinner, claiming that you must be ssing around with so other won if you wouldn’t co ho around the New Year.” Observing the looks on their faces, Yan Fei relayed what he had overheard at number one’s house for them.
Number one burst out laughing, quite emotionally too, betraying none of the ruthlessness he had shown when brazenly shooting at soone with his gun.
As he laughed, tears stread down his face, “This suits just fine, this suits just fine.
If she’s thinking along those lines, it’s good…”
Number two seed anxious, “That is, boss, did my elder brother and sister-in-law ntion at all?”
Yan Fei looked at his anxious face and retorted sowhat impatiently: “I rely took a quick turn at each of your hos.
It’s already lucky that I heard his wife cursing him.
How could I have possibly heard them speaking of you?”
Number two grinned, carefree, “All the better that they didn’t ntion , all the better…”
No one knew exactly what he ant by “all the better.”
Yan Fei originally thought these two would be devastated after hearing the current state of their hos, but it seed they were taking things quite lightly.
Seeing this, he intended to put their hearts a bit more at ease.
Yan Fei said, “Why don’t you wait here for a while…”
Without finishing his sentence, he vanished like a bug.
After a while, he reappeared and said to the two n, “Co and take a look!
You won’t have many more chances to see this.
After you take a look, we will go.”
Saying this, he led the two out of the dinosaur world, onto a small hill.
The ground was still covered with remnants of snow, and the mountain wind was bitterly cold, cutting like a knife.
Both n had been wearing only tattered thin shirts in the dinosaur world.
Imdiately after they stepped outside, they started shivering from the cold.
Yet, they were too preoccupied to care about the cold.
Gazing at the distant small mountain village, both n were spellbound.
The usually rough number two forcefully wiped his face, cursing angrily, “This goddamn wind, it’s freezing!”
Number one, however, was already in tears.
Given ordinary people’s line of sight and the gloomy weather, not much could be seen from here due to the fog.
One could barely make out the outline of the small village.
Even so, seeing the two n unable to take their eyes off the village, Yan Fei intentionally let them look for a while longer.
Number two didn’t bother much.
Looking towards his elder brother’s house, he seed to be talking to himself, “I wonder if my sister-in-law has beco any kinder to my elder brother?
Her mouth is absolutely relentless.
If it wasn’t for her constant nagging about my irresponsibility, I wouldn’t have left.
But I don’t hold any grudge against her now.
Our parents died when we were young.
If it were not for my elder brother and her, I might have starved to death…”
Although he was mumbling and usually didn’t speak much, Yan Fei couldn’t be bothered to listen.
Standing alongside the two n, he distractedly watched the rising smoke from the kitchens in the village.
Apparently, there’s so truth to the adage “Great minds think alike.” When number one’s wife finished cooking and ca out to call their two sons for dinner, for so unknown reason, she looked towards the side of this small mound.
The hillside was lined with trees and dotted with a few figures.
From such a distance, it was clear that she wouldn’t have been able to see anything.
Yet, she kept staring, rubbing her eyes and continuing to look, until her two sons ca over to say sothing, only then did she go back into the kitchen.
Yan Fei didn’t initially plan on telling number one about this scene he had just witnessed.
However, number one laughed sadly as if he had seen it himself, “Let’s go!
This woman of mine always has her suspicions.
She’s always suspecting that I’m with other won.
If I stand here for too long, she might even sense it…”
Yan Fei did an to say that she had indeed sensed sothing.
But after thinking it over, he eventually decided to stay silent.
After placing the two n back into the small valley, he transford into a cinerous vulture and prepared to fly away.
At this mont, the front door of number one’s house opened.
Number one’s wife ca out, warily looking around, then started walking towards this small mound.
The phrase “It looks close but is actually far away” is not without rit.
This small mound was visible from the village.
However, at such a distance, and with snow still on the ground, getting to the mound was not sothing achievable in a short while.
Watching the woman leave the village nonchalantly and then clumsily start running towards the mound where they were standing just now, Yan Fei thought for a mont and went back into the valley.
Number one was still in a daze when he ca in.
Yan Fei thought for a mont, and then prepared a pen and paper, saying to him, “Your wife is running towards the place we were just standing.
Is there anything you would like to tell her?
Write it down!”
Number one seed startled, not caring to take the pen and paper.
He imdiately cursed, “This damn woman, how could she run out in such freezing weather.
The mountain roads are slippery…”
Yan Fei urged, “Write whatever you want to say quickly, leave a note for her.
It would be best if it keeps her from asking around about you.”
Number one looked at Yan Fei, worried that he would do sothing out of fear that people at ho would start inquiring about him.
He swore fervently, “Not at all…
she knows my work is not legitimate.
She will never dare to ask around.”
Yan Fei simply nodded enigmatically.
Number one held the pen and thought for a while before despairingly laying it down.
“There’s no need to leave anything.
She has always been stubborn.
Even if I told her that I have a woman and a child sowhere outside, she probably wouldn’t remarry.
Let her keep her mories!”
“That’s fine, then I will go.” Saying this, Yan Fei left the dinosaur world, rarely lanting, “If I had known this would happen, why did I bother in the first place!”
Indeed!
Back then, these two didn’t think twice about taking lives.
If they hadn’t shot at with their guns, treating like a target, would they end up like this?
Of course, if they hadn’t committed such unspeakable atrocities in the first place, there would have been no issue at all now.
As he was preparing to fly away, he noticed the woman stumbling and running up the mountain road.
She seed to have fallen when Yan Fei had moved into the valley, her body was covered with traces of snow and pitch-black mud.
After musing about it, he landed, and in an aesthetic manner inscribed four characters onto the snow: “Everyone is fine!” Then he flew off.
Hopefully, when the woman reaches this spot, the snow will not have lted completely, and she’ll be able to see the characters.
The mountain road was rugged, covered with snow and mud; it would take her so ti to climb up.
