Chapter 579: Chapter 579 A Good Place to Nourish a Fetus
50 miles north of Jin City, Wangyou Valley!
Odd-shaped rocks stood erect, winding paths leading to secluded spots, with evergreen lawns and babbling brooks.
At this moment, it was the season of blooming spring flowers, with fluttering colorful butterflies amidst floral scents carried by the breeze, quietly filling the nostrils and lifting spirits.
Ye Shu stood atop the wooden loft, gazing in the direction of the valley entrance, lost in a trance.
After tidying up the loft inside and out, Sheng Shuai approached Ye Shu and said, “Little Village Flower, from today on, you are the master of Wangyou Valley, and from now on, you’ll convalesce here in peace, with the guarantee that no one will be able to disturb you.”
“Hey, the supplies prepared here aren’t enough for us to eat for one or two months, you know, I eat a lot!” Da Li remarked while climbing the wooden ladder from below; with each step he took, the loft seemed to tremble.
“Rest assured, I’ll visit you all regularly, bringing more food and supplies,” Sheng Shuai said, patting the wooden chair below him. “Da Li, even though the house is relatively sturdy, take it easy when you come up, will you? And, try not to go downstairs too much at night, there might be snakes around here.”
Speaking of snakes, Sheng Shuai himself was still shaken by the thought, remembering last time, had everyone not been there to smack his bottom, he likely would have lost his life.
“Got it,” said Da Li, dusting off his hands lightly. “I just went to check out the back hill, the soil there is very fertile. Next time you come, bring some vegetable seeds for me to plant; I can grow lots of organic, pesticide-free vegetables. Eating these will be good for Ye Shu and the baby in her belly.”
“Okay, it’s settled then, Da Li!” Sheng Shuai genuinely liked this video game character version of a strong woman and thought how great it would be if one day he could enlist such a powerful bodyguard for himself.
Seeing Ye Shu motionless, Sheng Shuai knew what she was pondering, “Listen, Little Village Flower, don’t wait any longer. Your Big Commander B probably won’t be leaving the house for a while. Don’t worry, I will update you on his situation next time I come. Just bear with it for a while, okay? And I won’t leave you a cell phone, as the signal here isn’t good anyway.”
As he was leaving, Sheng Shuai repeatedly reminded Da Li to take good care of Ye Shu.
Grinning, Da Li said, “Do you even have to instruct me? Go back, and remember to bring more delicious food next time; I like fried pork knuckles.”
“All you know is eating; you’ll eat yourself to death!” Sheng Shuai waved at Ye Shu, “I’m off, Little Village Flower, see you later.”
“Go on, thanks, Handsome B,” Ye Shu waved to Sheng Shuai in gratitude.
“Thanks again? You are such a silly girl,” Sheng Shuai strode towards Soul-breaking Bridge. Ever since the bridge over Deep River was destroyed last time by Sheng Shaochen, Sheng Shuai had it repaired, with all mechanisms reinstalled. After crossing the bridge and pressing the remote, the bridge’s clasps disconnected, slowly retracting to one side. That’s why Sheng Shuai could assert this place was absolutely safe, and being so far from the city center, it was unlikely anyone would come here.
“Ye Shu, this place is really beautiful, isn’t it? If your baby turns out to be a girl, she’ll definitely be as pretty as these flowers,” Da Li remarked.
Smiling, Ye Shu replied, “Da Li, I didn’t expect you to be good at giving compliments and cheering people up.”
“Heh, Ye Shu, look who’s talking. Who are we to each other? I’m not coaxing you; Da Li always speaks the truth. Actually, Big Commander B is right; we don’t need to worry too much right now. The important thing is to take care of the baby inside,” Da Li emphasized.
