Chapter 245 Liu Kun is disliked by the old man
If it's not accidental, then it must have been planned long ago!
But Wang Feng just couldn't figure out what the people who did these things were trying to achieve.
At dinner that evening, Liu Yingcai asked, "Tell me! You've been out running all day today. Besides what they just mentioned, didn't you find anything else?"
The men in the family are all honest people, and they really didn't find anything special.
But Liu Xiaoxiao does!
Seeing that her grandfather was staring at her, she knew she had to speak up.
Then he said, "Actually, my discovery isn't much, and I'm not even sure about it, so I didn't report it to Uncle Liu."
Liu Yingcai: "Tell me, what have you discovered?"
Liu Xiaoxiao: "I was wandering around in the mountains and got tired, so I leaned against a tree to rest. When I wanted to stand up and continue walking, my hand accidentally touched a mark carved into the tree trunk."
Liu Kun said, "It's normal to leave marks on trees to prevent getting lost while walking in the forest. You don't even know this, do you?"
Liu Yingcai scolded his eldest grandson, "You're the only one who knows a lot. Since you're so capable, when you have nothing to do in the future, why don't you learn to read and write with your uncle?"
Liu Kun had a headache when it came to studying. During the journey of fleeing famine, his third uncle would always find something to do and deliberately teach them some skills on how to study.
His head hurt from listening to it.
Now his grandfather wants him to learn again, how can he agree?
So he quickly said to Liu Xiaoxiao in a flattering manner: "Second sister, please don't bother with me! I was just talking nonsense just now, don't take it seriously! If you take it seriously, I will be in trouble."
Liu Xiaoxiao: "I'm fine. It's just that you just saw it. Even my eldest brother knows to refute me like this. If I tell this to others, no one will take it seriously either."
Liu Yingcai nodded in understanding and said, "If that's the case, then why would you be so concerned about a mark?"
Liu Xiaoxiao: "It's probably just an intuition! When I look at that mark, it always feels a bit deliberate."
Liu Yingcai: "Have you seen it anywhere else?"
Liu Xiaoxiao: "Yes, but it's not very obvious. If you don't look carefully, you might even miss it completely."
Liu Yingcai: "Then bring your second brother with you tomorrow and go with them to check around the fire to see if there are any similar markings."
Liu Xiaoxiao and Liu Erge answered together: "Okay."
After their analysis, Liu Kun suddenly became interested in the mark, but why did his grandfather only let the second son go with him?
So he asked, "What about me, Grandpa?"
Liu Yingcai: "You study at home."
Liu Kun thought to himself: "No way! Is Grandpa such a vindictive person? But I remember he wasn't like this before."
The next morning, just after breakfast, Liu Wenxuan shouted at the door, "Brother and sister, come out quickly! They are about to leave!"
Liu Xiaoxiao: "Okay! Time to go back to work."
Liu Wenxuan: "Second sister, you are wrong! We should go up the mountain."
Liu Xiaoxiao: "Yeah, yeah, you're right."
This time their purpose was clear, so it indirectly reduced a lot of detours.
When everyone arrived at a remote and open mountainside place, the adults who were traveling with them immediately went to see the fire that had obviously been tampered with and discussed it.
Liu Xiaoxiao took a quick look and didn't go over to join in the fun.
Before Liu Gang left, his grandfather repeatedly reminded him that he must listen to his second sister when he came to the mountain this time.
If the second sister said east, he couldn't go west. Even when necessary, he had to be responsible for the safety of the second sister.
At this moment, the second sister did not join in the lively "scene". Even though he was as curious as a cat scratching, he still suppressed his curiosity and followed Liu Xiaoxiao like a shadow.
"Second brother, look at this." Liu Xiaoxiao deliberately lowered her voice and said to Liu Gang.
Liu Gang looked in the direction of her finger and saw a very strange mark. "Is this... is this the mark you mentioned yesterday?"
