After seeing off Huaihua and her daughter and noticing that Li Shiyun hadn't come to find him, he decided to give her a call.
"Village Chief, didn't you say you'd come to see me this morning? Why didn't you show up?"
"Something came up in town unexpectedly, and they needed me at a meeting. Let's wait until this afternoon," Li Shiyun answered.
"Oh, all right."
A hint of disappointment in his voice, Ling Feng hung up the phone, thinking that since that was the case, he might as well take this opportunity to go up the mountain to gather some herbs.
After getting his things ready, he turned to leave the house but suddenly remembered Wang Cai and called out to him.
With a whoosh, Wang Cai came running from behind and sat down near him, looking up cheerfully.
"Let's go, come with me into the mountains to gather herbs, and I'll get you some lunch as well," Ling Feng said.
Wang Cai was delighted, stood up, and ran outside. In a blink, he had reached the entrance of the village.
