Chapter 11 – Never Marry a Man with Two Tintins
*******
Cheng Nuo waited for a while but Bai Rui simply lay motionless in a sleeping position. He walked back, puzzled. Chang Chun had curled up to sleep so Cheng Nuo lay down.
The next day, he went outside early in the morning but didn't find a trace of Bai Rui. Whenever Chang Chun looked at him, he seemed a bit uncomfortable. Cheng Nuo was sometimes cautious but most times he was careless and didn't pay much attention. Chang Chun took the initiative to take out a bag and show Cheng Nuo the money inside. He wanted to give Cheng Nuo a share of it but Cheng Nuo quickly refused and smiled, saying, "No, you should keep it."
Chang Chun lowered his head and didn't know what to think.
The road back to the slums was smooth and there were no problems this time. Cheng Nuo sorted out everything he had bought then rearranged the layout of the room. Afterward, he went to the river to bathe with Liu Guang in the same manner.
The weather was a bit cold, so he bathing in the river made him feel chilly. Cheng Nuo couldn't help but sneeze.

In the afternoon, he saw that Liu Guang went out with an ax to cut down a tree. The little man was very arrogant, and in a short time, he came back with a tree trunk from a yellow poplar tree.
The slums were truly the place where many poor people lived and there were a lot of experts there. When Liu Guang sought help from a professional, it took him two days to use the wood to make a large and comfortable bathtub. Cheng Nuo took the opportunity to use the rest of the world to make a few more items such as small cabinets and tables to make the hut more comfortable.
After two days of calm, Liu Guang went with seven or eight strong males to the mountains to catch a bear with a rare type of fur. This kind of bear was extremely powerful, but its flesh was very expensive and it was worth a dozen chi locusts. In this world, what mattered was not age but power, so although Liu Guang was young, no one dared to underestimate him. Chang Chun and half of the other children stayed in the village.
Before Liu Guang left, Cheng Nuo gave him dry food, dried meat, steamed dumplings and so on. This type of food was all researched by Cheng Nuo. Liu Guang didn't pay attention to what he ate as long as he could eat enough meat. Cheng Nuo didn't want his food to be so monotonous. Therefore, he went with the others to learn where to pick wild herbs and onions and tried many new tricks.
This time they wanted to go deep into the mountains. Cheng Nuo couldn't help but worry. After all, Liu Guang was still young. Cheng Nuo felt like a little kid's worried parent as he reminded Liu Guang to not to be reckless. Liu Guang was impatient and looked at him through narrowed eyes. "I've done this three times before. What's the fuss about? You're the one who needs to be careful when you're in the house alone. Don't go wandering about outside flirting with others!"
The veins on Cheng Nuo's forehead popped out. This little rascal, where did he learn to say such things? It wasn't funny at all! He couldn't help but knock on Liu Guang's forehead. When Liu Guang immediately groaned and glared at him with his two hangdog eyes, saying: "Why did you hit me? Damned female!" Cheng Nuo simply knocked on his forehead a few more times.
