Hu Changlin quickly put down the work in his hand and got up, then pulled Hu Feng back to the house: “She’s back, she’s back, look at you so anxious.”

Hu Feng grabbed Hu Changlin’s arm and urgently asked: “Where is she?”

Hu Changlin smiled and patted Hu Feng’s back: “She’s fine. She’s resting in the house. She said she woke up early and feel sleepy. She slept after lunch.”

Hu Feng breathed a sigh of relief: If nothing happened, it’s good.

“Did she go to the town to complain?”

Hu Changlin shook his head: “She said that she didn’t go to the town. She only went to the fields with Awu. Isn’t the day of the delivery of melon coming? Yesterday, she hired a few villagers to harvest the melons, but she was worried so she went there to see with Awu. When everything is fine, she came back.”

Did she really just go to the fields? When he saw the smiling face of his father, he felt relieved. His father never lied to him and will never lie.

“Good, then I’ll go back inside.”

Hu Changlin replied: “You go and wash, we’ll have dinner in a while.”

Dinner? Hu Feng raised his head and saw the sun was setting. The smoke in the sky was rising. Not long after, the sky will get dark, it was indeed time for dinner.

Hu Feng nodded his head and turned back to his room. He slowly put on his socks and shoes, put on his outer shirt, and went to the backyard to wash his face. The headache he felt previously was gone. Only the wound on his scalp was still there. However, it was nothing serious, it was only a bit painful.

Bai Zhi said before that she will cure his amnesia.

She also said yesterday that as long as he drinks that disgusting medicine, his headache and amnesia will be cured.

She was right, she did it.

Just after washing, Hu Changlin called him in the front hall: “Feng, come and eat.”

Hu Feng walked quickly to the front hall. Only he and Hu Changlin were in the hall. There were only two pairs of tableware placed on the table.

“What about Zhi’er and Aunt Lan?” He asked.

Hu Changlin was pouring water, he didn’t lift his head when he said: “Oh, they are not coming for dinner tonight. Zhi’er said she was tired and will sleep early. Zhao Lan delivered food to the construction site when I saw there’s still some leftover, I took it and she said she will not come.”

Hu Feng frowned and asked: “When did Zhi’er come back?”

Hu Changlin thought for a moment: “She came back before lunch. What’s wrong?”

Hu Feng asked another question: “Did she eat lunch here?”

Hu Changlin shook his head again: “She didn’t come, she said she was not hungry. She felt sleepy so she will sleep.”

Hu Feng just picked up his chopsticks, but put it down again: “What about Awu? Did he come in here?”

Hu Changlin nodded his head: “Yes, he came here and help me with work for a while. But, he seemed to be absent-minded. He left soon after.”

Hu Feng stood up and walked outside.

“Where are you going without having dinner?” Hu Changlin chased after him.

Hu Feng replied: “Something happened to Bai Zhi. I’ll go and see.”

Hu Changlin was shocked: “What? Who said it? What happened?” He hurriedly followed behind Hu Feng and went to the cabin house.

The door of the cabin house was not closed. Zhao Lan and Awu were standing in front of the door and whispering something. Who knows what they were saying, but their face doesn’t look so good.

Seeing Hu Feng came, Zhao Lan hurriedly pulled closed the door. Her tears haven’t dried, but she pulled out a smile: “Why did you come? Did you had dinner?”

Hu Feng looked at the door closed by Zhao Lan and asked: “What about Zhi’er?”

Zhao Lan replied: “She’s sleeping inside. She said she was too tired these past few days. She wanted to sleep more. She asks me not to disturb her. She’s still sleeping until now. It’s funny that she hadn’t woke up yet.”
