The little sister is a troublemaker

The next morning, Qingyu got up early to prepare some things for the journey. She also borrowed the kitchen of the inn to prepare some food for Li Mulan herself, so that she would not be uncomfortable with the food. After everything was packed, Li Mulan yawned and went down.

"Didn't you sleep well?"

Li Mulan waved her hand. "I slept well, but I feel sleepy all the time."

Huo Yuanruo walked over while holding a big meat bun in one hand and ate it, "Uncle Master, it has nothing to do with the weather. You feel sleepy all year round. You sleep even more than the pigs in the Divine Doctor Valley."

Li Mulan gave the other party a glare and he immediately shut up and decided to just eat the buns.

Qingyu pulled the person to sit at the table, "I prepared millet porridge and soup dumplings for you. Don't you like them the most? Try them."

Li Mulan sniffed hard, "Did my sister make it herself?"

She smiled softly and said nothing, then picked up a soup dumpling and put it into her bowl.

Li Mulan was not polite and ate one in two or three bites. "Mm, the soup is delicious. It's still as delicious as before."

"If it tastes good, eat more."

Li Mulan ate a few more soup dumplings and drank two bowls of porridge before putting down her chopsticks, but she kept glancing outside the inn.

"Junior Master, are you really planning to take that little beggar with you on the journey?" Huo Yuanruo finished eating all the baskets of soup dumplings in front of him, and he took the remaining ones in front of Li Mulan.

“I’m not a beggar.”

"Well, whether he's a beggar or not, you want to take him on the road without knowing his status? You weren't so kind before."

Li Mulan hit Huo Yuanruo on the forehead with a chopstick, "What happened to me before? Why am I so bad-hearted, huh?"

Huo Yuanruo quickly blocked a few blows with his hands. It really hurt when Junior Master hit someone. "I was wrong, I was wrong. Why did you do that? Did you feel sorry for him? There are so many pitiful people, and I didn't realize you were so eager to help him before."

Li Mulan held her chin up and said, "It must be fate. That child has beautiful eyes."

Huo Yuanruo rolled his eyes. "Uncle Shi, you really need to change this bad habit of yours. Have you forgotten what happened a few days ago? Isn't it because you see it when you look at beautiful women? My master always says that the more beautiful a woman is... um... the more beautiful a person is, the more dangerous she is."

"Your master also said that when you are away from home, you must obey me, your junior uncle."

Huo Yuanruo choked, angrily took two bites of the meat bun, and stopped talking.

The little boy didn't keep Li Mulan waiting for long. When he appeared at the door of the inn, Li Mulan and the other two had just finished packing.

"You are punctual." Li Mulan looked at the boy who was still in dirty clothes, but his face was obviously clean. He looked cuter than yesterday.

Li Mulan couldn't help herself and stretched out her hand to pinch his cute and soft face. "Look, it looks so good when it's clean."

The little boy was shocked at first, then took a step back, "You... don't you know the difference between men and women?"

"Puchi!" Li Mulan was amused by the serious look of the little brat, "There is still a difference between men and women. How old are you? You can't be called a man."

The little boy's face turned red with laughter, "Girls and boys don't sit at the same table when they are seven years old..."

"Oh," Li Mulan rubbed her forehead helplessly, "It turns out that he is still a little old-fashioned, just like the eldest brother, it's really annoying."

The little boy was furious and turned around to leave, but Li Mulan grabbed him by the back of his neck and said, "I was just teasing you, why are you so weak?"

The little boy waved her hand away, took two steps away angrily, and said nothing.

Huo Yuanruo came out leading two horses, "Little Uncle-Master, I heard you say that our old master is old-fashioned. I will tell him when we get to Kyoto, hehehe."

Kyoto... When the little boy heard these two words, his eyes flashed slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

Li Mulan raised her lips and smiled mischievously, "Oh, our Yuanyuan is really brave. Are you going to report me? Go ahead. Junior Master, I'll be waiting."

Huo Yuanruo was startled by the malicious look and he immediately trotted over like a dog. "Hey, little master, I was just kidding. Here, I've brought your horse for you."

Then he glanced at the silent little boy and said, "Hey! Little old-fashioned boy, didn't you say that people of seven years old should not sit together? Then you can ride with me, and I will take care of you. My junior uncle and sister Qingyu are both women."

The little boy pursed his lips, "I'm not a prude."

Li Mulan was amused. "What's your name then? If you don't tell me, haha, we will all call you Little Old-Fashioned from now on."

The little boy was not angry this time. He frowned slightly and hesitated, his hand unconsciously touching the corner of his clothes.

Huo Yuanruo shouted in a loud voice, "What? We are kind enough to take you for a walk, but we don't even have the right to know your name? Are you some big shot?"

"My name is Chu...Jie."

"Chu Jie," Li Mulan smiled, "It's a nice name. Let's call you Xiao Jie."

Chu Jie nodded uncomfortably.

"Okay, let's go." Huo Yuanruo picked up Chu Jie and jumped on the horse.

Chu Jie was obviously startled, his face turned pale, but he didn't exclaim or complain.

Qingyu raised her eyebrows slightly. It was rare for a young person to be so calm. It was impossible for ordinary people to have such a temper. She glanced at Li Mulan, who just smiled. She didn't expect that the little kid she helped casually could be so powerful.

After a few people left, a man in black walked out from the corner not far away. He had a blank expression on his face, but there was a hint of doubt in his eyes.

After traveling for a day, they found a family in a village to stay at.

At the end of the day, Chu Jie got along pretty well with the few people. He gradually became familiar with them and was no longer as reserved as he was in the morning.

They found the largest family in the village, which had enough rooms.

"Auntie, please stop working. Just put the things down. We are not used to having someone watching us while we eat." Li Mulan looked at the old woman who wanted to help, her eyes flickering slightly.

"Well, fine. I'll be out now. Please enjoy your meal, my dear guests. I'll go and prepare some hot water for you so that you can wash up properly later." After saying that, she left without lingering any longer.

Qingyu walked to the door and took a look outside. In this household, apart from the old woman, there were only her two sons. It was rare to see three people living in such a big yard in a village like this.

She closed the door and walked to the table. Huo Yuanruo couldn't wait to start eating. "Sister Qingyu, what are you looking at? I'm so hungry. Let's eat."

After saying that, he reached out and took a large chicken drumstick. Just as he was about to take a bite, Li Mulan hit him on the back of his hand with a chopstick and said, "Eat, eat, eat. Be careful not to eat your life away."

Huo Yuanruo paused, looking at the tempting big chicken drumstick with some regret, feeling a little aggrieved, "Uncle Junior, is this chicken drumstick poisonous?" Then he looked at the other food on the table, feeling even sadder, "Then...what about these?"

Li Mulan was a little speechless. This foodie only cared about whether the food was poisonous? He didn't care about who they met? She sighed, "It's not a strong poison, just some knockout drugs."
