Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

Chapter 138 The Magical Use of Space

"Well, it's just a few words. It's okay, it's okay." Old Master Wu didn't care and touched He Lai's head to comfort him.

Mr. He sensed it. In the past, it was He who delivered the gifts, but this year it was Wu Juan. He also knew what was going on, but he didn't expose it.

"Well, old lady, isn't it time to cook? Clean up and kill a chicken for Xiao Laizi."

"Okay, I'll do it." Old Mrs. He got up and left without saying anything.

Soon the women went to kill chickens and cook.

He Lai pretended for a while, then remembered to check on the old man and sat up straight.

"Grandpa, grandpa, how are you? I have learned some medical skills recently and I can help you." He Lai took Mr. Wu's hand and placed it on his leg and took his pulse.

"Okay, let grandpa take a look. Your grandson has grown up and can become a doctor." Grandpa Wu did not resist. He stretched out his hand obediently and said with a smile.

"Grandpa, don't talk."

“Oh…oh…” Old Master Wu pursed his lips and looked at He Lai seriously.

For a while.

"Grandpa, can you quit smoking?" He Lai put down his hand that was taking Mr. Wu's pulse and asked.

"How can that be! Grandpa can't live without cigarettes. What's wrong with grandpa's health? You'd better take a close look at him." Grandpa Wu became anxious when he heard that he had to quit smoking.

"Grandpa, your health is not very good now. How about your grandson get you some melon seeds and peanuts to eat. And smoke less in the future." He Lai knew that he couldn't cut off Grandpa Wu's relationship all at once.

"Um, okay, okay, grandpa will smoke less, smoke less." Grandpa Wu also agreed directly and put away his cigarette silently.

Anyway, my good grandson will only stay for ten days or so, so just endure it. You can’t stop smoking, it’s your life!

He Lai took Mr. He's pulse again and found the same problem.

Now the two old men were silent. They couldn't let this old guy die.

He Lai also saw the dilemma the two were in.

"Grandpa, grandpa, you can drink more tea. I will prepare it for you personally and bring it to you when the time comes."

"Okay, okay, let's drink tea, drink tea." Mr. He grabbed Mr. Wu who was about to speak, intending to calm He Lai down first. After all, there was no way he would run out of cigarettes.

"Okay, I'll go to the town tomorrow to see if there are any medicinal herbs. Brother Dahu, are you free tomorrow? Take me there." He Lai said.

"Okay, no problem." Dahu agreed immediately.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, grandson. Drinking tea is good, very good."

Mr. Wu was pulled a little, and he understood what Mr. He meant, so he didn't say anything.

I have never drunk any tea. I am fine with just plain boiled water. I only pour a cup of tea when guests come to my house.

……

At the dinner table, He Lai sat between the two old men.

"Grandpa, grandpa, you can't drink too much." He Lai reminded again.

"Well, that's no problem, I won't drink too much." Mr. He responded immediately. After all, he couldn't bear to drink the wine, it was all money.

Mr. Wu also took a sip and nodded to show his agreement.

The women were all curious as to why He Lai was controlling the old men's drinking, but they didn't think much about it.

Everyone was eating happily.

After dinner, the women were chatting in the inner room. Outside, He Lai was explaining the harmful effects of smoking to two old men.

Anyway, the two old men nodded in unison, indicating that they understood.

"My eldest son, my second son, you have heard what Xiao Laizi said. Quit smoking and bring your pipes here later. Did you hear me?" Grandpa He also spoke.

"Um, Dad, this...this..." The eldest brother He Zhong was a little reluctant. The second brother also looked at his father in embarrassment.

"Dare you not to listen? You two are rebelling. Even if the family is divided, I am still your father!" Old Master He got angry.

"Okay, okay, okay, I'll take it, I'll take it, don't be angry. I'll go now." He Zhong pulled the second son He Xin and left.

He Lai also smiled when he saw his uncle and second uncle's expressions. It was impossible not to submit to the bloodline suppression.

"Hey Da Hu, you're grown up now, take Xiao Laizi and the others out for a stroll, just don't go into the mountains.

I'll let your dad take a look at the rabbit traps in the mountains later."

Old Master He wanted to get He Lai away so that he could have a few puffs, so he started to give orders to Da Hu.

"Okay, Grandpa, Xiao Laizi, let's go." Dahu stood up and prepared to go outside to take a look.

He Lai also wanted to test his spatial ability and see how useful it could be in the mountains.

"Okay, then grandpa and grandpa, I'm going to go out and play with Brother Dahu and the others. Don't smoke secretly. I'll check when I come back."

"Okay, I promise not to smoke. Go ahead, go quickly." Grandpa He urged.

Seeing He Lai and the others walking away, the two old men lit up their cigarettes in tacit understanding, took a few puffs, and then they calmed down.

"Old Wu, remember to rinse your mouth later, otherwise it will be bad if someone smells it."

"I want you to tell me!"

……

"Brother Dahu, let's go and take a look at those hillsides." He Lai suggested.

"Okay, it's up to you."

He Lai and his companions came to the hillside. There was no one there anymore, after all, there was not much to gain. Only a few children were playing.

He Lai also began to pretend to search, putting his hands on the ground to feel the movement inside. All of a sudden, the information of an underground area appeared in his mind.

He Lai discovered that the limit of his perception was the size of the space in his mind. He then realized that this was related to the space in his mind.

Now that he understood, He Lai decided to explore the area. Soon, He Lai found a nest of rabbits, used his ability to transfer two adult rabbits to his own space, and killed them with his mind, leaving an adult rabbit to take care of the cubs.

He Lai felt great. Although it consumed a little mental energy, I could totally bear it. This way, I could get more supplies in the future.

After a while, He Lai found another nest of rabbits, including three adult rabbits, and decided to smoke them. He Lai pretended to listen to the ground for a while, and said to Da Hu.

"Brother Dahu, there seems to be some movement in this cave. I heard some noise. Let's smoke it out."

"Really? Okay, okay, I'll set it on fire. It's my specialty!" Dahu ran over excitedly.

The others were also very happy to hear He Lai's words. They prepared their sticks and were ready to guard the smoking vent to catch the target.

……

Soon, Da Hu started to smoke, and everyone stood at the smoke outlet, watching nervously.

Sure enough, after a few minutes, the rabbit couldn't stand it anymore and jumped out.

Little Tiger was quick to catch it, and laughed out loud with joy. It had been a long time since he caught a rabbit like this.

Two more rabbits couldn't help themselves and jumped out of the hole. Da Wa also caught one, but He Lai was distracted and it ran away! Awkward.

In this way, He Lai relied on his bug ability to successfully help Da Hu and his friends harvest four rabbits. He Lai also got two adult badgers, and kept the rest to raise as cubs, waiting for the next harvest.

He Lai stopped when he saw that he was ahead, and several of them took the rabbit back home. This made the surrounding children very envious, and they also followed He Lai's example, lying on the ground and listening to the sounds of the ground.
