Fisherman Fubao made his fortune by fishing

Chapter 99: Playing dumb to escape a disaster

Wu Yanei was very proud and shook off his fox fur coat. He looked down at Li Yuer and asked, "What do you do?"

Li Yuer said innocently: "I am digging herbs."

Wu Yanei nodded and said disdainfully, "A herb digger? The way he was dressed, I thought he was a beggar."

Li Yuer's mind: I want your mother's food! I want your life! F**K

"You're digging herbs in such a cold weather? What herbs are you digging?" The steward next to Wu Yanei had a pair of slanted eyes and looked at people with squinted eyes. It looked like he was not someone who was easy to get along with and not easy to fool.

"What kind of medicine did you guys dig up? Why don't you show it to us? If it's good, we in the Wu Mansion will take it."

Li Erlang looked at Li Yuer in horror: Why did you come up with such a stupid excuse? Even a fool wouldn't believe that you can go out to dig herbs in winter.

When Li Erlang saw the look in Manager Wu's eyes, he knew that he was guilty and was lying.

Just as he was about to lose his temper, Li Yu'er said to Li Erlang, "Brother, don't be so stingy. This handsome young man is obviously a rich man. He will not be short of our money. Why don't you give it to us?"

Li Erlang: I am taking your sister! My dear sister, are you trying to kill your brother?

"Someone come here! Give it to me..." Manager Wu immediately lost his patience and wanted to deal with a few people.

"Wait." Wu Yanei waved his hand, and the guards immediately stopped moving. He was very happy about Li Yuer's calm flattery just now, and said, "Little girl, please quickly fetch the herbs for me to take a look."

"Okay, Mr. Rich, I'll get it right away." Li Yu'er immediately reached into Li Erlang's pocket, mumbling, "Brother, don't be afraid. Mr. Rich is a good man. He won't be like those cunning drug dealers who buy things without paying. Mr. Rich is not short of money!"

Li Yuer took out the red Ganoderma lucidum, and in an instant, the eyes of everyone present lit up.

One of the guards couldn't help but blurt out: "They are really herbal farmers. This is the first time I have seen such a big red Ganoderma lucidum."

Manager Wu's expression also improved a little. He was just about to snatch the red Ganoderma lucidum and use a few taels of silver to send these country bumpkins away.

Li Yuer came to the carriage, picked up the red Ganoderma Lucidum, and respectfully held it in front of Wu Yanei, saying, "Mr. Rich, this is for you. Such a good thing should be matched with a god-like person like you."

"Hahahaha! Well said!" Wu Yanei waved his fat paw and grabbed the red Ganoderma lucidum in his hand. He casually took out a twenty-liang silver note from his waist and threw it to Li Yuer, "This is a reward from me."

Li Yuer picked up the banknote that fell at his feet and said foolishly, "Sir, what treasure is this?"

"Hahahaha!" Wu Yanei laughed heartily, and the other guards followed suit.

"Look, that little village girl held the banknote upside down!"

"Hehehehe!" Upon hearing that it was a silver bill, Li Yuer's mouth almost stretched to his ears, and then he started laughing too, and the others laughed even louder.

Where did this silly girl come from? She didn't even know they were laughing at her, but she still laughed along with them.

Li Yu'er was not stupid. She had already seen several people casting greedy glances at her. She quickly put the banknotes into her arms and kept bowing to Wu Yanei to express her gratitude. "Thank you, Mr. Rich. I wish you a happy marriage and a son soon!"

"Hahahahahaha!"

The crowd burst into even louder laughter. This country girl didn't even know how to flatter. She probably heard something from a wedding in their village and actually used it here.

Wu Yanei was very pleased with Li Yuer's words. He would be able to spend his wedding night with the beautiful girl soon. Wouldn't that mean a happy marriage for a lifetime?

But it is impossible for him to have a son early, his father will find him a daughter of an official family for marriage, and Guo Qingran's family background is still a bit low.

"Hmm." Wu Yanei snorted and waved his hand, no longer wanting to continue to tangle with the peasants. "Let's go up the mountain!"

He has more important things to do, and the little beauty is waiting for him.

"Wait!" Manager Wu stared at the person on Li Erlang's back, "Who is that person on your back?"

Li Erlang took a step back in fear, his legs shaking.

Li Erlang: Why is it me again? He could feel the person on his back, his body trembled noticeably, his heartbeat quickened, and he was so frightened that his heart almost jumped out of his throat.

Li Yuer quickly smiled foolishly and said, "That's my mother. She just fell down and it was very serious. She hasn't recovered yet."

Manager Wu's eyes fell on Li Erlang's back like an eagle. Why was a village girl wearing embroidered shoes?

Although Guo Qingran's embroidered shoes were so dirty and black that they were basically unrecognizable, Manager Wu still recognized the shape of the embroidered shoes.

Manager Wu felt more and more that something was up with these people, so he walked up to them and ripped off the hat on the woman's head, revealing Li Yuer's masterpiece: a chicken-coop bun. The woman was lying on the boy's back, and her exposed profile was green and emitting a strange smell.

"Alright, alright, let's go!" Manager Wu fanned his nose in disgust.

Li Erlang was as if pardoned, and turned around and left with Guo Qingran on his back.

"and many more!"

Li Erlang: Your mother, are you done yet? I'll die if I want to. It's no big deal to be so scary all the time. At worst, I'll fight you.

Manager Wu stared at Li Yu'er and asked tentatively, "Did you see anyone on the mountain just now?"

He specifically asked Li Yuer, the youngest and dumbest one. Manager Wu felt that Li Yuer didn't even understand the principle of not showing off one's wealth, and was definitely a silly country girl.

Li Yuer really showed a silly smile, and it took him a long time to react before he nodded.

Manager Wu's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he asked, "What did you see?"

Wu Yanei and the other guards also looked at Li Yuer at this time. Li Yuer understood that if they said they had seen Guo Qingran, they would be killed immediately to silence them.

But if the person he saw was not Guo Qingran, but...

So, Li Yuer seemed to have no idea what they were thinking and said calmly, "I saw two weird uncles."

Manager Wu asked, "Who else?"

"Nothing else, just two weird uncles."

Manager Wu seemed to be relieved and asked, "What did they say?"

"They, they..." Li Yu'er bit her dirty fingers and took a while to react before saying, "Ah, I remember now. They said they killed the little hoof, and then, they set fire to it, and then, when Ya Nei came, they said, she ran away and fell off the cliff."

"Asshole!" Wu Yanei was immediately furious. Isn't that what Yanei is referring to? If the village girl in front of him was lying and couldn't make up a story about Yanei, how would she know that he was Yanei?

Wu Yanei cursed: "You are indeed a pirate-born thief, an ungrateful bastard who dares to touch the woman I like. Let's go! Quick! Go to the mountain and catch those two beasts. I will let them know what it feels like to be unable to live or die!"

Seeing that Wu Yanei was really angry, Manager Wu and the guards didn't dare to say anything. The group marched towards the mountain in a mighty and aggressive manner.

Li Yuer turned around and smiled smugly.

"Brother, let's go!"

"Where are you going? Are you going to send them back first?"

Li Yuer said, "Where should we send them back to? I just said that they were burned to death. How can they go home after they are dead?"

She turned to look at Guo Qingran and said, "Sister, you can't go home for the time being. If you trust us, come back to the village with us first. We live in Fushui Village."

Guo Qingran knew Fushui Village and he also lived in Fushui Village. If Li Yuer and the others really wanted to harm him, they could have done it long ago.

So he agreed and said, "Well, thank you very much. I will never forget your life-saving grace."

Li Erlang didn't want to cause trouble, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Yu Baoer, this is not a good idea. Those people are not easy to mess with."

The implication is to remind Li Yuer not to cause trouble for the family.

Li Yuer said: "Don't tell anyone that she is a woman. When she enters the village dressed like this, she will say that the brother of my third uncle is sick.

When the time is right, let her leave Fushui Village."

Li Yuer thought for a moment and said, "Don't go back directly to Fushui Village. Let's go back a little and head towards the town first. Once we are on the official road, our footprints will merge with those of others, and then we can turn back and go home."

Before the New Year, there were many people going to the market and entering and leaving the town. Once the footprints overlapped, it was impossible to distinguish them.

"Wait a little longer." Upon hearing the word "wait", Li Erlang almost reacted reflexively, wait, wait a little longer!

Li Yuer asked Li Erlang to put his clothes on inside out, and they soon became Li Erlang and Li Yuer again. Li Yuer exchanged Li Erlang's hat with Guo Qingran.

The few of them then returned to the village according to the previously planned route.
