Chapter 24 Good Brothers for Life
"What's wrong? What happened?"

"A corpse, oh dear, it really is a corpse."

"Quickly, get away! Could there be any disease?"

Liang Guang, along with Old Zhang, the escort, and Xiao Jia, rushed over and shouted angrily, "What's all this noise about?"

Mao Hu Zi's legs went weak and he slumped to the ground, pointing at the large rock he was using for resting. "Doggy, dog, it's a dog."

I searched for my dog ​​for most of last night, but I couldn't find a single hair on him.

To my surprise, when I opened my eyes today, half-asleep, I was met with the dog's deathly pale face.

Just now, I was holding the dog's neck with both arms, almost face to face and mouth to mouth with his lifeless face!
Mao Huzi could no longer stop his stomach from churning and rushed to the side to vomit violently.

With the blessings of all the gods and Buddhas under Heaven and Earth, who could withstand this?

Xin Nian almost couldn't hold back her laughter. She huddled in her mother's arms, covered half her face with her hand, and suppressed her laughter.

"Mom, did you see that person's expression? Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter. I could laugh for three days straight. It's so funny."

Let them bother her all they want! They deserve it.

She dug out the corpse in the middle of the night, stole all the money from the dog, and even kindly helped the brothers hug each other affectionately. Isn't that wonderful?
What a lovely young girl!
She was so kind and understanding that it was almost unbelievable; even she herself was moved to tears.

Mao Hu Zi was so eager to find his brothers, so we found you and put you by our side. You two were sleeping soundly together, but now you're unhappy!

Humans are such contradictory beings.

Look at the wonderful expression on that round face, it's absolutely hilarious!

Xin Nian couldn't help but laugh at the thought of Mao Huzi being so frightened that his facial features would fly off.

Xie Ninglan felt quite helpless. She hugged her little daughter and tucked her closer into her arms to prevent her from laughing too smugly and being seen by others.

That's true. My daughter is still young in this life, only in junior high school. It's normal for her to do some outrageous things. Besides, the person she's teaching a lesson to is a bad person, so it's harmless.

Xin Nian's shoulders trembled uncontrollably. She lifted her head slightly from her mother's arms and her gaze met that of the two young masters from the Yongkang Marquis's mansion.

To be precise, it was the people from the Yongkang Marquis's Mansion and the Enyi Marquis's Mansion who were always secretly observing them, and this just happened to capture the interaction between Xie Ninglan and her daughter.

It doesn't matter if someone sees you secretly laughing.

Xin Nian glanced at them, then looked away as if no one else was around, continuing to chuckle softly in her mother's arms.

Han Li leaned close to his brother and whispered, "Big brother, did you see that? I always said that the Xin family girl was a bit strange."

“A person who can be specially invited and treated with respect by the ancients is naturally no ordinary person.” Han Zhao nodded thoughtfully.

When their eyes met, the girl showed no sign of guilt at being exposed; instead, she glanced at him openly and confidently.

That look in his eyes made it seem like he was looking at some inanimate object...

Han Zhao unconsciously shrugged his shoulders.

"Brother, do you think the death of this constable might be related to this girl?"

After thinking it over, Han Zhao shook his head. "I don't know, and I shouldn't make any wild guesses. Let's observe further and make sure we don't offend the Xin family along the way."

Meanwhile, Liang Guang had already led his men forward to examine the dog's body, and his expression was extremely grim.

"What's going on?"

Several guards helped the bearded man, whose face had turned pale from vomiting, to sit down beside him.

How did you find him?

One of Mao Hu's henchmen said in a terrified voice, "Boss Liang, the first thing Brother Mao saw when he opened his eyes was Gouzi hugging him." "No, stop talking!" Upon hearing his henchman's words, Mao Hu's face turned even paler, his stomach churned again, and he couldn't help but rush to the side to vomit.

Liang Guang glanced at him, then looked at the still-frightened bearded follower, "You saw it?"

"Yes, yes, I saw it clearly. The dog's two hands were dangling on Brother Mao's shoulders. Brother Mao was so frightened that he jumped up and tried to pry the dog's hands off. The hands were stiff, and with a snap, they were broken off."

Old Zhang, the escort, rubbed the goosebumps that had risen on his arms. "Alright, alright, don't go into so much detail. Just tell me how the dog's corpse ended up next to Mao Huzi?"

"We just don't know. We searched for Gouzi until late last night, but we couldn't find a trace of him. This morning, he just appeared out of nowhere, lying next to Mao Ge!"

"Bullshit, stop spouting this nonsense," Liang Guang shouted. "Find a place to bury him and get ready to go."

"Boss!" the bearded henchman exclaimed in shock, "Aren't you going to investigate anymore?"

"Investigate? Do you even have a clue? What are you going to investigate with? I'm not from the Ministry of Justice or the Court of Judicial Review. Do you think I don't need to travel to investigate? Have you finished your mission for today? If you haven't finished and can't get to Hengxian in four days, you're flying over there to complete the handover and get the seals!"

The lackey, humiliated by the rebuke, slunk over to the bearded man and helped him up.

Several guards quickly lifted the dog's stiff body and methodically dug a pit to bury it.

Judging by how well-trained they are, this is definitely not the first time they've done this on the Exile Road.

Xin Nian smiled secretly and picked at the two beads stuck to her wrist.

Ningzhu doesn't need anything to tie it; it stays attached to her wrist and won't fall off. Then, she pulls down the sleeve of her prison uniform to cover it up, and no one can see it.

After advancing to the second tier, his physical fitness also improved significantly, making it no longer a problem for him to travel normally.

However, given her current level of spatial power, she can only make a maximum of ten condensed beads, and her parents cannot use them for the time being.

But it's alright. She is very confident in herself and estimates that once she reaches the third level, she will be able to touch some of the mysteries of space and tear open the cracks to find the space that was lost in the past.

She wasn't greedy; she just wanted to recover some of the old supplies.

Xin Wenyuan had just been put in shackles when he carried him to his wife and daughter. “Daughter, I just saw your brother move his eyelids. Is he about to wake up?”

Xin Nian held her father's hand, which was bound to a wooden cangue, and channeled some healing energy into him. "It won't be that fast. He still needs to drink four more doses of medicine. I estimate he'll wake up in the next day or two."

"Dad, does your shoulder still hurt?"

"good."

"I'll apply some more ointment to your shoulder at noon."

Xin Wenyuan grinned, looking at his little darling with increasing joy.

He's now used to carrying a yoke weighing about ten pounds around during the day, and with the energy he's absorbed into his body, his physique is gradually improving. Today, carrying it wasn't as tiring as it had been the previous two days.

But the old father's heart melted at his daughter's care and love.

"I'll be going now. Take good care of yourselves, you and your mother."

"Hey, hey, Lao Xin, Lao Xin." Xie Ninglan winked at him and took Xin Mohan's hand, who was standing to the side. "Take good care of your son. Come over for lunch together."

Xin Wenyuan: ...

What a tragedy! I always forget about this poor little son; I just don't have that thought in my head.

Seeing the pitiful look on the child's face, Xie Ninglan reached out and patted his head. "Han'er, be good. Don't be afraid with Daddy."

Little Xin Mohan nodded his head and obediently followed behind Xin Wenyuan as the father and son walked forward together.

Xin Nian glided over to her mother's side. "How novel! She's over thirty and has a younger brother."
