Chapter 296: Drunk

However, Mou Lili's mind remained unsettled while she was teaching class.

Even Nini noticed it. Nini said, "Teacher, didn't you say this is the character for 'rain'? Why did you read it as 'wind'?"

"Ah, is that so? I'm sorry, it was Teacher's mistake," Mou Lili apologized.

During the second period, Mou Lili could no longer sit still and was about to go up the mountain to take a look, but at that moment, the sound of a motorcycle came from outside the ancestral hall.

Mou Lili hurried out to look.

It was actually Big Gold Chain giving Ling Feng a ride back; Ling Feng even had his arm around Big Gold Chain's shoulder, and the two looked to be on good terms.

Ling Feng got off the bike, patted Big Gold Chain on the shoulder, and waved goodbye to him.

Mou Lili continued to teach calmly, pretending she hadn't seen Ling Feng arrive.

It wasn't until class ended that Ling Feng was still waiting outside.

He handed out chocolates to the children, sent them off one by one, then looked at Mou Lili and smiled, saying, "How about that? You don't have to collect my corpse for me, right?"

Mou Lili asked, "Did you give them money?"

Ling Feng couldn't help but say, "In your eyes, do I use money to settle everything? If I went around showing off that I had money, wouldn't I be robbed sooner or later?"

"Then how did you convince him to persuade you to come back?"

"A secret between men, perhaps," Ling Feng smiled mysteriously.

Big Gold Chain and his group were not heinous villains; at most, they acted like local bullies in the village. People like this aren't good, but they aren't completely evil either. If you give them some benefits and cater to their interests, you can buy them off.

Mou Lili asked again, "Did you get the fever medicine from Jin Shu?"

"I had Aquan deliver it up the mountain, and I also gave instructions on how to take it. Don't worry, Aquan knows what to do."

Up on the mountain, Big Gold Chain was coaxing Xiaozhu to take his medicine.

Xiaozhu looked at the bowl of black liquid medicine Big Gold Chain was holding, then looked at Big Gold Chain.

"What, afraid to drink it?" Big Gold Chain asked.

Xiaozhu asked, "You aren't trying to feed me poison while my parents are away, are you?"

"Who do you think you're looking down on?" Big Gold Chain said. "This was sent up by those two teachers of yours. It's fever medicine. Look closely, it's fever medicine. If you get poisoned to death, I'll take full responsibility, alright?"

Big Gold Chain glanced at the thermometer and said, "They said if it's above 38.5 degrees, drink this red one. If it's lower than 38.5, then take this pediatric... pediatric bupleurum granules. This thermometer is electronic; you don't mean to tell me you don't even understand numbers? You've at least been to school for a few days."

Only then did Xiaozhu feel this was Teacher Mou's style, so he drank the medicine with peace of mind.

Big Gold Chain said, "Once you've taken the medicine, get some good rest. I'll make you food when your parents get back. But you still need to chop firewood at home, right? I can chop this wood for you."

Then Big Gold Chain went outside to chop wood.

Xiaozhu leaned against the doorway, looking puzzled.

Today, Ling Feng walked Mou Lili back to the guesthouse, and he also rented a room for himself.

Mou Lili couldn't help but ask, "Why aren't you staying at Jin Shu's house anymore?"

"Jin Shu has relatives visiting, and there's no room to sleep at home, so I'm staying here for these few days," he said while processing his room card.

Mou Lili gave an "Oh," didn't ask any more questions, and went back to her room first.

Before long, Ling Feng came over to knock on the door: "Do you want to go down and have some barbecue? My treat."

Mou Lili said, "Alright."

The two arrived at the barbecue stall shortly after.

Even late at night, the streets of the tourist attraction were crowded with people. Many were returning from their outings and looking for food on the street, especially at the barbecue stalls, where many young people had already come to eat at this hour.

The two of them picked a small table. Ling Feng went to order food, while Mou Lili asked for two bottles of beer, took two glasses, and poured a bottle for herself and Ling Feng respectively.

Ling Feng returned and asked her, "You can drink?"

"I've been a resident singer at bars for so long, and I can't drink? Are you kidding me?"

Ling Feng said, "That's true."

Mou Lili took a sip and only found it tasteless.

Ling Feng asked, "Do you want me to get you a bottle of hard liquor?"

"Sure."

Ling Feng went to a small supermarket not far away and brought back a bottle of Baiyunbian, saying, "You can't buy expensive liquor in this place, so just make do with this."

Mou Lili glanced at the packaging of the liquor and said, "Is this not good enough? Do you have to have 1573 to count as good?"

The barbecue also arrived, a large platter of it.

The two drank and ate barbecue while watching the people walking by in twos and threes on the street—some were young couples, and some were families out for fun.

Mou Lili asked Ling Feng again, "How did you handle that Big Gold Chain?"

"Guess," Ling Feng said.

Mou Lili took a sip of alcohol, "Could it be that Big Gold Chain has some special fetish?"

"I couldn't satisfy him even if he did," Ling Feng said while eating, then tapped her on the forehead: "How can you be like this? Your mind is way too filthy, isn't it?"

"Maybe it's because I saw too many perverts when I was at the bar before."

After finishing the barbecue and the alcohol, the two walked back.

Halfway there, half of Ling Feng's body suddenly leaned against Mou Lili.

"What are you doing? Are you drunk?" Mou Lili asked.

Ling Feng said, "That hard liquor had a high alcohol content; I think I drank too much, my legs are weak."

"If you can't drink, don't force it. Look at how pathetic you are."

Only a third of that hard liquor had been consumed, and the rest was still in Mou Lili's hand.

Ling Feng said, "You, you have to support me."

"I really can't stand you; next time you can drink beer by yourself." Mou Lili naturally went to support him.

Returning to the guesthouse, Xiong Ge saw them in the front hall, and Qiu Ge couldn't help but smile: "Yo, drunk, are you?"

"He doesn't have a high tolerance for alcohol."

"Do you need any help?"

"No need," said Mou Lili.

Ling Feng could still walk, just not very steadily.

Xiong Ge couldn't help but reveal a trace of a smile; he turned around and said, "Whether one is drunk or not, only a man knows in his own heart."

……

Mou Lili supported Ling Feng to the room he had booked, placed him on the bed, and then asked him: "Are you alright? If you can take care of yourself, then I'll head back first."

Ling Feng, however, grabbed her hand at this moment, "Don't go."

"What for?"

"I feel terrible." Ling Feng clutched his chest, appearing as if he wanted to vomit.

Mou Lili couldn't help but say: "It was only a few glasses, is it really that bad?"

Ling Feng actually shook her off and went to the bathroom to vomit.

Mou Lili was helpless and had no choice but to wait outside for him to come out.

Ling Feng flushed the toilet himself, brushed his teeth, and washed his face, only then walking out slowly, and then lying on the bed, he said: "I feel much better now."

"Then I'm going back."

"Wait," Ling Feng called to her.

"What for?"

"It's a bit boring, why don't we chat for a while?" Ling Feng asked.

The air seemed to freeze for a moment at this, and Mou Lili walked in front of him and asked: "What kind of bad ideas are you cooking up?"

Ling Feng pulled her hand, using the momentum to pull her so that she sat on the edge of his bed.
