Siheyuan: He Yuzhu starts with god-level cooking skills

Chapter 131 Why Do You Want to Protect Me?

Li Xuan was stunned. He had never expected that He Yuzhu's family would encounter such an unfortunate change. "Sorry, I asked something I shouldn't have asked just now."

He Yuzhu shook his head and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, those things are long gone." "Besides, I have learned to comfort myself."

Li Xuan nodded and said softly: "You are such a strong person, you will get through these difficult times." Although life on the isolated island is monotonous, it makes them feel a rare tranquility and comfort.

In this lonely and beautiful land, the two of them worked together and spent many wonderful times together. The sun and the moon on the isolated island seemed to flow slowly, and Li Xuan taught He Yuzhu some life skills.

They talked to each other while working.

"He Yuzhu, learning to hunt is crucial to our survival. You should first observe the behavioral characteristics of the prey and choose appropriate hunting tools." Li Xuan picked up a thick wooden stick and demonstrated the homemade hunting device on the sand.

He Yuzhu came over curiously and asked, "What is this mechanism?"

Li Xuan patiently explained: "This is a mechanism used to catch birds, as you can see."

“A wooden stick is fixed with a rope and food is attached as bait.” “Once the bird touches the mechanism, it gets trapped between the trees.”

He Yuzhu's eyes sparkled, and he hurried forward to try: "I want to learn it, too." Li Xuan nodded and said: "Very good, you did a good job."

They dug the trap carefully, set the bait, and then hid on one side and waited. After a while, a small bird was attracted, and when it pecked at the food, a stick suddenly shot out and trapped it in the forest.

He Yuzhu happily picked up the bird, and Li Xuan signaled him to release it carefully. He Yuzhu hugged the bird excitedly and said, "Brother Li Xuan, we finally have meat to eat today!"

However, Li Xuan shook his head and pointed at the bird: "He Yuzhu, this bird is our companion." "We should not hurt a life at will."

He Yuzhu unconsciously let go of his hand, and the little bird flapped its wings and flew into the blue sky.

"If we want to survive here, we need to learn to care for all living things on this land." Li Xuan warned He Yuzhu seriously.

He Yuzhu suddenly realized and nodded: "I understand, Brother Li Xuan."

They continued to learn survival skills, and had mastered how to build simple shelters, find food and clean water. Li Xuan continued to teach He Yuzhu how to survive, and He Yuzhu always stayed close to Li Xuan, helping him deal with daily trivial matters.

He Yuzhu gradually got used to this peaceful and calming life. Deep in his heart, his admiration and trust for Li Xuan also grew day by day.

He Yuzhu looked out the window at the thick clouds in the sky, and his heart became heavy. He didn't know why Li Xuan trusted him so much and was even willing to rescue him at the cost of his own safety.

In the capital city where people's hearts are unpredictable, this trust becomes even more priceless, making He Yuzhu feel that the burden on his shoulders cannot be ignored.

"It seems that you have a lot of doubts." (Central symmetry) Li Xuan's voice suddenly broke the silence.

He steadied the side of the boat with one hand, tilted his head slightly to look at He Yuzhu, with a deep and unfathomable smile flashing in his eyes.

He Yuzhu frowned and hesitated for a moment, but ultimately couldn't suppress his inner curiosity.

"Why did you choose to save me? I'm just a stranger to you." Li Xuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, but did not answer immediately.

This time, he did not avoid He Yuzhu's gaze, but stared at He Yuzhu, as if thinking about how to express his thoughts.

"You are indeed very doubtful," he said slowly.

"But some things cannot be simply brushed aside."

He Yuzhu answered in a low voice and said no more, knowing that this question might not be easy to answer.

In this world that even he himself finds difficult to understand, there are too many mysteries and unknowns.

Perhaps Li Xuan also had his own difficulties that he could not tell. "You never wanted to reveal your background and identity."

He Yuzhu talked calmly, "When I asked, you always smiled and didn't answer. Isn't this very confusing?"

Li Xuan smiled, his eyes gleaming with depth: "Maybe."

"Some things don't need to be traced back to each other. I just want to protect you."

"Protect me?" He Yuzhu was stunned for a moment, "Why do you want to protect me?"

Li Xuan did not answer directly, but turned his head slightly and looked at the river flowing in the distance.

The wind blew his hair, giving him an extraordinary temperament, as if he was a lonely and determined watcher between heaven and earth.

"Perhaps, some things don't need to be explained in every detail." He said slowly, "I just hope you can believe me."

He Yuzhu nodded silently, and read the unspeakable firmness and commitment in Li Xuan's eyes. Perhaps, some things do not need to be explored constantly, as long as there is trust between each other, that is enough.

In the following time, they never discussed this topic again. But He Yuzhu never stopped questioning and thinking about this matter.

Sometimes, when he was alone at night, the confusion in his heart would always surface. "Why are you always like this?" He Yuzhu couldn't help asking late at night.

“Always confuse yourself, but never seek answers.”

Li Xuan listened quietly, his eyes fixed on the stars in the night sky.

On such a night, loneliness and depth intertwined, like an eternal puzzle. "Nothing is accomplished overnight," he said lightly.

"Some mysteries take time to gradually reveal, while others require one to experience them on their own."

He Yuzhu was silent, took a deep breath, and seemed to have made a decision in his heart.

He understood that perhaps this question could no longer be answered immediately, but he also believed that time would always give him the answer.

"I will believe you." He nodded gently, "and I will believe in myself."

Li Xuan smiled lightly without saying anything. He knew in his heart that some things did not need to be expressed verbally. All it took was trust and protection from both sides.

Since then, they have been closely connected to each other, supporting each other in the chaos of the world. Although they may not know each other's past and identity,

However, they firmly believed in one thing: each other's existence was the most precious thing in their lives. Li Xuan said softly: "In fact, some things do not require endless answers."

"As long as we watch over each other, that's enough."

He Yuzhu smiled gently, looking at the peaceful scenery in front of him, but his heart was full of waves. Perhaps, the true thoughts of all things are not so easy to reveal.

But he always believed that with faith, there would be light. That day, He Yuzhu and Li Xuan were walking on the beach.

He Yuzhu suddenly asked: "Li Xuan, why did you save me and bring me to this island?"

"Is there some unknown past between us?" Li Xuan stopped and stared at He Yuzhu intently, then said, "In fact, you and I have a common chapter in the novel."

"When you were bound by chains, I was trapped in the same small place."

When He Yuzhu heard this, he was in disbelief for a moment and was stunned. He looked at Li Xuan with suspicion.

Li Xuan continued: "I was once a person in chains." "Later, I managed to break free of the chains and arrived at this island."

"When I spied you in bondage."

"I chose to lend a hand to you and help you out of the predicament because I have also experienced that pain." After hearing what Li Xuan said, He Yuzhu was deeply touched and moved.

He had never expected that this unfamiliar person, whom he had just met, actually shared the same vicissitudes of life with him, he said with deep affection.

"Li Xuan, thank you very much. Thank you for rescuing me and letting me find a new life on this island."

Li Xuan smiled, stared at He Yuzhu, and said, "We have gotten rid of those painful past together."

"I hope we can let go of the past and embark on a new journey together."

"023" He Yuzhu was a little surprised when he heard the name, but he didn't investigate further. Later one day, when the two of them sat in front of the window and looked up at the night sky.

Suddenly, a loud bird song was heard.

They looked at each other, feeling uneasy. "Li Xuan, this voice seems to be coming from the other side of the lake."

He Yuzhu frowned with worry. Li Xuan was a little nervous and said, "Then let's go over and take a look."

The two walked past the trees and reached the other side of the lake. The lake was rippling with waves. A huge bird slowly rose into the air and flew away.

He Yuzhu and Li Xuan finally relaxed. It was just an ordinary big bird.

Suddenly, they both sensed some unique and strange auras, and dazzling rays of light rose from the surface of the lake.

The light became more and more dazzling, and an invisible force gradually enveloped them, as if suffocating them.

"What is going on?" He Yuzhu asked anxiously.

Li Xuan also spoke with concern: "It seems that the area in the center of the lake is not as calm as it looks. We have to be vigilant." They looked around and immediately found a hidden underwater cave at the bottom of the lake.

He Yuzhu and Li Xuan both felt an indescribable force of attraction.

They speculated that this underwater cave might hold some unknown secrets. "It seems we have to find out," He Yuzhu said with a firm look in his eyes.

Li Xuan nodded slightly, and the two of them plucked up their courage and stepped towards the secret place underwater.

The cave was completely dark, with only a faint light coming from the water surface, guiding them step by step. As they dived, they gradually went deeper into the bottom of the lake.

Suddenly, they encountered a strong pull of the water current and after struggling for several times, they finally returned to the surface.

He Yuzhu gasped for breath and said to Li Xuan, "This place is quite dangerous. Let's choose to retreat." Li Xuan nodded in agreement. The two returned to the cabin together, sat by the window, and pondered the foggy underwater cave.

They could all feel that some powerful and unknown force was lurking there, causing them to shudder.
