Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Chapter 1037: Chapter 1037: Choosing to Conceal_1 Chapter 1037: Chapter 1037: Choosing to Conceal_1 To find Deng Chun, Tong Tiehu had to cross Rooster Mountain. In the past, with his light-footed martial skills, he could have easily leapt over the mountain in mere minutes, but now he could only ascend and descend the mountain step by step with the aid of crutches, a process that took him an hour.

Standing at the foot of Rooster Mountain and looking at the endless expanse of the primeval forest before him, Tong Tiehu panted slightly with fatigue and said to Qiao Xiaomai, “Start a fire.”

The primeval forest hadn’t been tread upon for many years, and the ground beneath the trees was covered with fallen leaves, soft and difficult terrain for walking.

Deng Chun’s Tree House was somewhat deeper into the forest, and he wouldn’t be able to hear them calling from here.

They had no choice but to light a fire.

Qiao Xiaomai complied, gathering some leaves and using a lighter to ignite them.

The remnant snow had just melted, and the leaves were still a bit damp. Once lit, the fire produced a lot of smoke, which soon billowed high into the sky.

About a quarter of an hour later, Deng Chun appeared.

He was over a decade older than Tiehu, but on the outside, he looked quite similar, his face marked by wrinkles and his demeanor even more solemn than Tiehu’s.

He stood at the tip of a tree, looking down at the three people below with a somewhat cold expression, “What’s the matter?”

It was clear he wasn’t welcoming to Qiao Xiaomai.

By now, Tong Tiehu had caught his breath, and his breathing had returned to normal. He spoke up, “Master, please come down, I have something to tell you.”

Hearing this, Deng Chun soared down like a leaf, landing steadily in front of the trio.

Tiehu gestured a fist-in-palm salute, “Brother Deng, long time no see.”

To be precise, Deng Chun could also be considered half a master to him, but since Deng Chun didn’t acknowledge the title, he had always called him brother.

Deng Chun nodded slightly at him, and then turned his gaze to Tong Tiehu, although his peripheral vision remained locked on Qiao Xiaomai with intense scrutiny.

Qiao Xiaomai instinctively straightened her back and called out, “Master.”

Deng Chun didn’t respond, his gaze still focused on Tong Tiehu.

Tong Tiehu smiled and gestured towards Qiao Xiaomai, “Master, this is my wife. Her name is Qiao Xiaomai. We’ve come today to tell you something important.”

“What happened to your body?” Deng Chun frowned. Speaking with such labored breathing was clearly unusual.

Tong Tiehu sighed helplessly and began, “It’s related to my condition. To cut a long story short, during the winter it’s cold, and one time while cooking, I was sitting in front of the stove with the fire burning, the kitchen filled with smoke, warmer than outside.”

“Xiaomai was reflecting how nice it would be to have a bed built over the stove. The fire would be burning underneath while it would be warm above, and we would never be cold again.”

“With that thought in mind, I started to experiment and eventually came up with a fire pit. The fire pit was practical and quickly spread throughout Daqi via Jiwei Residence and Zuixian Building.”

“One night, Xiaomai and I went to sleep as usual. The next morning when we woke up, her Water Drop Pendant had disappeared, yet a water drop imprint had appeared on her wrist, which contained a mysterious space within.”

As he spoke, Tong Tiehu carefully observed Deng Chun’s expression.

Sure enough, upon hearing the words ‘Water Drop Pendant,’ Deng Chun’s pupils contracted, his face twitched slightly, and his body even shuddered a few times.

Seeing this, Tong Tiehu pursed his lips and continued, “This object was left by my great-grandmother, and it contains her will…”

He looked towards Qiao Xiaomai, “Xiaomai, take out the will.”
