Uncle Nan left.
Before leaving, he only said one sentence:
"I'm going to collect my son's body. No matter what mistakes he made, he is still my son. I cannot let his body be left exposed in the wilderness!"
Li Tianran did not kill him to silence him, but Uncle Nan already had thoughts of death. Even if he left from here, he would probably become a soulless walking corpse.
Li Tianran sighed.
In the midst of the apocalypse, he couldn't control or didn't want to continue to intervene in such matters.
Watching Uncle Nan's figure disappear on the horizon, Li Tianran pushed open the gate of the farm and walked inside.
Suddenly, he saw some large track marks in front of the farm gate, although they had been cleaned up, upon closer inspection, one could still see some traces.
He rubbed his chin and furrowed his brows.
He remembered that these marks weren't there when he left in the morning.
Could it be true, as Chen Nan said, that there were attackers at the farm?
But why didn't Han Han see anything?
Forget it, let it go!
This kind of thing can be understood by checking the surveillance.
Driving the truck into the farm, Li Tianran took off his jacket with a hint of blood on it and threw it into the nearby brazier to burn. After doing all this, Xiao Hei had already come out, wagging his tail.
Suddenly, Xiao Hei sniffed on Li Tianran's body and seemed a bit frightened as it took two steps back.
Li Tianran was surprised by this reaction.
He didn't expect Xiao Hei's senses to be so keen. Perhaps it sensed the lingering killing intent on Li Tianran's body and was hesitant to approach.
"Big brother!" Just then, Hanhan's voice with a long tone resounded, and Hanhan's figure appeared, rushing towards Li Tianran and diving into his arms. She said, "Big brother is finally back. Hanhan was starving!"
As if to confirm Hanhan's words, her stomach made a rumbling sound.
Li Tianran's face lit up with a smile, sweeping away the gloomy mood. He patted Hanhan's head and said, "Brother came back late, making Hanhan hungry."
"I want to eat braised pork." Hanhan turned her eyes and then opened her arms to gesture, "A big pot of it!"
"Alright." Li Tianran patted Hanhan's little head.
"Brother will make it for you right away!"
…...
In the kitchen, Li Tianran put on an apron, poured cooking wine over the large pieces of pork belly in the pot, and braised them for a while before thickening the sauce and taking them out of the pot.
At the same time, the rice had been steamed.
Li Tianran used Hanhan's small bowl to serve half a bowl of rice, poured some of the braised pork sauce over it, and placed it in front of Hanhan, saying, "You can start eating!"
"It smells so good!" Hanhan sniffed lightly, then picked up the small chopsticks and swiftly devoured the "enemy" in front of her.
Han han's "enemy" in her eyes was naturally the plate filled with braised pork and the stir-fried greens next to it.
Li Tianran pays attention to the balance of meat and vegetables when cooking.
If eating meat, it should be accompanied by a plate of vegetables.
While Han han was enjoying her meal, Li Tianran retrieved the surveillance footage from the surveillance guard.
The events that occurred at the farm gate this morning appeared in Li Tianran's mind as he watched the footage.
As Li Tianran watched the footage, his gaze gradually became astonished.
"Big brother, why aren't you eating?" Han han, holding her large bowl, watched Li Tianran sneakily and asked, "Big brother doesn't like kids who use violence. But Han han made a mistake, so she wanted to hide it from Big brother... Hanhan was afraid that Big Brother wouldn't want me anymore!"
Li Tianran's body stiffened.
He suddenly recalled the time when Han han got into a fight with another child at kindergarten over something, leaving a scratch on the other child's face. As a result, he had to apologize to the other child's parents and compensate them with a lot of money.
During that month, he seemed to have paid less attention to Han han, but it was solely due to his frustration with the farm's poor harvest, not because Han han beat up someone.
Now it seemed that Han han had misunderstood him all along
And now, she was cautiously avoiding a repetition of the same incident, fearing that it would anger Li Tianran again...
Looking at Hanhan with teary eyes, Li Tianran realized that his past attitude had made Hanhan so sensitive. His heart ached, and he squatted down, embracing Hanhan and softly said, "How could Brother not want Han han?"
"From beginning to end, you are the most important to me."
"Even if the whole world abandons you, I won't."
"Whether it's the gentle and lovely Hanhan or the fierce and aggressive Hanhan, Brother likes you the most."
"Because you are my only... family."
Li Tianran took a deep breath and said, "So, no matter what mistake you make, I will stand by your side."
Hanhan was stunned.
She had never seen Li Tianran show such genuine emotions before.
"But, what if Hanhan does something bad one day? Will Brother still accompany Hanhan?"
Hanhan asked timidly.
Li Tianran smiled and suddenly thought of Uncle Nan and Xiaotian.
This is what family is like.
Even if the other person commits an unforgivable crime, in their heart, you are still their closest person.
So, Li Tianran said solemnly, "I will always be with you."
"Even... if it means descending into hell forever."
