The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 217 The Dragon Clan Arrives

In fact, they brought back not only a donkey cart, but also a horse-drawn carriage, which Qin Huai had left behind and was now being used by the Wang family.

Compared to donkey carts, horse-drawn carriages were naturally more comfortable and faster, and the women of the Wang family were all inside the carriages.

The men were either driving the cart or riding on the donkey cart.

On the third donkey cart was a group of tall, strong men who looked utterly hopeless.

They were all left behind by Qin Huai to help protect Xiao Ayu.

Grandma Wang waved her hand and called them all over to help harvest the grain.

He added, "Don't you guys do all kinds of work? Come and collect grain for our family, we'll provide food and lodging, and we'll even pay you 50 coins a day, which is no less than your wages."

Little Ayu also looked at them expectantly, especially at Chiding: "Mr. Ding, come help us at our house, I'll bring you water!"

To distinguish himself from the name of Chijia, the children called Chiding "Mr. Ding".

Akade: "...Okay."

A group of well-trained bodyguards were thus turned into a construction team invited by the Wang family and sent to the fields to harvest grain.

Old Wang returned home, and before anyone could exchange pleasantries, dark clouds began to gather in the sky, the wind howled, and a thunderstorm was imminent. They quickly grabbed their food.

Even Wang Aibao, who was feeling uneasy, didn't have time to think about how to face this brand-new village before she was dragged into the kitchen by Feng.

“Sister-in-law, you’re in charge of watching the fire. The men, young and old, are working hard, so we can’t skimp on the hot water.” Madam Feng assigned her the easiest task and stuffed a large palm-leaf fan into her arms. “Don’t just sit there like an idiot in front of the stove. Just add some more fire when it’s low, fan yourself when you’re hot, and drink some water when you’re thirsty. Anyway, it’s our own home, so I don’t need to tell you anything else.”

Wang Aibao felt extremely comforted when she heard Madam Feng muttering in her ear.

Wang Aibao: "Sister-in-law, I understand."

Madam Feng was still a little worried: "This water must be boiled before it cools down. If anyone comes to drink water, don't let them drink the cold water from the water tank."

Wang Aibao smiled and agreed. She had been a little at a loss, but after listening to Feng read a lot, she felt much more relaxed.

They usually drink cold water without any problems, but today is different. If they drink cold water and get an upset stomach, it will delay them for a while.

"Then I'll go pick vegetables in the field, I'll leave this place to you," said Madam Feng as she went out the door.

As soon as Xiao Ayu returned, she was surrounded by the villagers. One called her "Little Lucky Star," another called her "Little Darling," and the children all swarmed around her.

"Little Sister Ayu has grown even more beautiful!"

"You've even grown a little taller!"

"Sister Ayu smells so good!"

"You brats, get out of here! You still have snot on your faces and are covered in mud. Don't get Ayu dirty!" A wife saw the children surrounding little Ayu and hurried over to scold them.

Little Ayu smiled and said, "Aunt Hua, it's okay, I'll be careful not to get it dirty."

Madam Hua: "Ayu still remembers Aunt Hua? That's so good. Now you play with your older brothers and sisters, Aunt Hua has to go and get busy."

Once they arrived in the village, the Wang family felt even more at ease. All the children under the age of 5 were allowed to stay home and not do anything except help their family members by fetching water.

Wang Liulang and Wang Qilang had already run to the wild fruit field, where they mingled with the village children and enthusiastically told them about selling candied hawthorns in town.

Their business selling candied hawthorns has been gradually decreasing recently because the wild fruits in the fields are almost ripe and can only be dried, which doesn't keep for long.

They will sell the wild fruits when the next batch grows.

Wang Wulang was given special permission to accompany Xiao Ayu, mainly to keep an eye on the children so they wouldn't be careless and knock Xiao Ayu over.

"Ayu, let's go to the mountain to play. It's been a long time since we've been to the mountain."

Little Ayu disagreed: "There are too many children, Grandma won't let us go up the mountain." "What's there to be afraid of? We're nearby, we'll come back as soon as the adults call us. You can also take the lamb with you, and oh right, take the magic-testing rat too, maybe we can even find treasure." Actually, this was Wang Wulang's real purpose.

Wang Wulang had previously planned to release the Spirit-Testing Rat into the town to search for any treasures, but the Wang family stopped him.

The town is full of shops and houses. Even if you're looking for treasure, you'd be going to someone's house. What kind of situation is that?

There was no way to cause any trouble.

Now that everyone has finally returned to the village, Wang Wulang couldn't sit still any longer. He immediately wanted to test whether the Spirit Treasure Rat could really find treasure.

Wang Wulang heard the name "Spirit-Testing Rat" from Xiao Ayu. She thought Xiao Ayu heard it from an adult, while the adult thought Xiao Ayu heard it from somewhere else.

The other children had already been interested in the little mouse on Xiao Ayu's shoulder, and now that they heard it could find treasure, they were all very happy.

"Ayu, Ayu, let's go treasure hunting in the mountains!"

"Yes, I heard my grandfather say that there are many treasures left behind by giants on the mountain, said to be left by our ancestors!"

“Your grandpa was lying to you. My grandma told me that there were tears shed by fairies on the mountain, and those tears turned into gems that sank into the mountain. If you can find the gems, you can find the fairies.”

I think you're the unreliable one!

"You're wrong!"

The two little kids, still wearing open-crotch pants, stood with their hands on their hips, pointing at each other angrily.

Little Ayu, holding one in each hand, said, "Then let's go into the mountains and look for treasures. Maybe there are treasures left behind by giants or even by immortals."

Little Ayu thought that if they didn't find anything, she would take some fruit out of her pocket so that her older brothers and sisters wouldn't cry!
To cooperate with the Wang family, Tuanzi deliberately told Xiao Ayu that she was only two years old now and would not be three until the second half of the year.

So Xiao Ayu always thought that three- or four-year-old children were her older brothers and sisters.

And so, a large group of children went into the mountains.

Normally, the adults would be worried if so many children went into the mountains together, but now that they are busy harvesting, they don't care what the children are doing.

For example, Old Wang's family still hasn't discovered it, and Old Liu has come to the village to help while they are still busy in other fields.

Meanwhile, Xiao Ayu and her group, who were heading into the mountains in a large group, did not notice that a group of people were quietly heading towards Hujia Village.

The leaders looked grave, their faces darkening with each step they took.

"The clues indicate that the Holy Dragon disappeared in this area. We've searched for half a year, even having the Imperial Advisor perform divination, but we've found nothing here." Sweat dripped from the man's forehead as he spoke, his voice uncertain. "Do you think the Holy Dragon is gone?"

This was something they couldn't believe.

"The Holy Envoy must not hear this! The last person who said that is probably long dead by now!"

"But we really couldn't find any trace of the Holy Dragon, and even the nearest Dragon Coil didn't react."

"With hundreds of years of cultivation, the Holy Dragon is so powerful that even a group of experts using potent poison wouldn't be able to defeat it, let alone ordinary people! Besides, the Holy Dragon will definitely send us signals while it's engaged in combat..."

It's impossible for anyone to kill the Holy Dragon so suddenly that it doesn't even have time to send a signal, right?

How is that possible?

Unless, of course, there is another serpent in this world, more powerful than the Holy Dragon, that swallows it whole.

The group exchanged glances and vaguely saw a path appearing in the mountains.

"There's a mountain path here, which means there are houses nearby. We didn't go in last time we came here, but now we have to go into the village. Maybe the villagers know some clues."

Of course, once they entered the village, the villagers could not be allowed to stay; they had to protect the news of the Holy Dragon from being leaked.
