Chapter 1663 - 1663
Weng Xingban, well, he's 23 years old this year and he's still a virgin!
In the rainforest area, early marriage and childbirth are popular.
When others are his age, they already have several kids.
But since Weng Xingban was fifteen, his father owed debts, and after he died, he left even more debt. Where would the money to marry a wife come from?
As for Ruan Yu, he's liked her since he was little.
It's just that Weng Xingban is considered smart but also an honest man, and he's never confessed before.
At this moment, when Grandpa Lou mentioned this, his face turned red.
A shy red that made his bronze face turn purple!
Grandpa Lou chuckled heartily, "Boy, you've liked Ah-Yu not just for a day or two! As a man, one should seize opportunities. Otherwise, Ah-Yu will eventually belong to someone else!"
"Uncle, don't talk nonsense. Ah-Yu hasn't considered marriage, and she doesn't have anyone else."
"Then is it just you for her?"
"Ugh... Let's not talk about it, Uncle, you keep an eye on this guy. I'm going to fetch Ah-Yu. She has a lot of stuff to bring!"
After that, Weng Xingban, as if escaping, swiftly rushed out of the Dripping Water Cave, jumped down the cliff in a few steps, like a nimble monkey, ran through the jungle towards the riverbank.
Grandpa Lou watched this agile young man, nodded, genuinely liking him.
Of course, he even murmured under his breath, "Sigh, with this kind of build, if he goes to the Warlords to carry a gun and make a living, he'd definitely be a good hand and could earn quite a bit!"
Yet, Grandpa Lou shook his head to himself, "Forget it, living by carrying a gun for the Warlords means killing and arson. This child is too honest, he couldn't do it, hehe..."
Having said that, he looked down at the comatose Liu Zhizhong, and said, "And you, which Warlord do you belong to? Hopefully, you'll be grateful and help Ah-Ban and Ah-Yu with some money, so they won't be in debt, can marry, have kids, and enjoy their Little Days!"
By the time Grandpa Lou was changing Liu Zhizhong's second bottle of medicine, Weng Xingban and Ruan Yu had returned from the riverbank with some living supplies.
The two of them huffed and puffed, carrying the stuff to Dishui Rock, which was quite physically demanding.
After all, all sorts of pots and blankets were quite a lot.
Once they arrived, they set about arranging things, making Dishui Rock look like a makeshift home.
Once everything was set, Grandpa Lou asked Ruan Yu to cook some porridge and make some fish since it was almost noon. They all needed to eat, and as for the injured Liu Zhizhong, though he might not wake up soon, they could still feed him some liquid food.
While cooking, Weng Xingban said to Grandpa Lou, "Uncle, just now I ran into Ah-Xia by the riverbank. He said he's going to town tomorrow to help someone fix their house and asked if I want to go. If I do, I'll leave with him early tomorrow morning. It's a month's work and we could make quite a bit of money! What do you think..."
Saying this, he glanced at the still-unconscious Liu Zhizhong, then continued, "Should I stay here, or go earn money? If I go make money, who will take care of him? His injuries are quite serious~~~ Ah-Yu alone, and with you, might make it inconvenient to look after him, right?"
Grandpa Lou nodded, "You can ask Ah-Xia tonight about whether the work is urgent or not. If it is, then you have to go earn money. If it's not urgent, you can wait until this guy wakes up, and then go. It's not too late."
