Super rare beast girl, run away! The emperor's uncle is coming!

Chapter 19 I would rather sell myself than leave

Xuan Shiliu excitedly raised her head and said, "Thank you, Master, for taking me in. Please give me a name!"

Qu Jingyao's face suddenly darkened, but she didn't want to expose Liu in front of her, so she said coldly, "Just follow me first, we'll talk about the rest later."

Liu looked at her daughter hesitantly, and Qu Jingyao smiled and took her arm and walked towards the butcher's house.

"Mom, let's take out some of the wild boar today to thank the villagers who have always helped us. Let's cook it in a big pot and give some to each family."

Liu thought that she would have to return to the village in the future and would need the help of her fellow villagers, so she simply smiled and nodded in agreement.

"You're really thoughtful. Let's do this. I'll go to your Aunt Cuilian's house and use the excuse of a big pot."

As she spoke, Liu rushed towards the headman's house. Qu Jingyao saw that many adults and children had gathered in front of the butcher's house, watching the pork being cut, and everyone had a gleam in their eyes.

This small village is located not far from the border town and is a barren land. The people are lucky to see meat once a year. The harvest in the past two years has not been good, and every family has tightened their belts to make ends meet.

Fortunately, when the original owner's father was alive, he often went up the mountain to hunt, and the original owner also benefited from it and ate a lot of delicious food. Since her father passed away, the original owner's family has been bullied for many years, and this moment makes Old Lady Xu even more unscrupulous and unscrupulous.

"Brother, are you done killing them all?"

Qu Qingchen wiped the sweat from his face, smiled and raised his head: "With Uncle Da Kui's skills, how can I be slow?" He glanced at the little beggar behind his sister and said nothing more.

"Brother, let's set up a big pot in the village, cook some meat and share it with the aunts and sisters in the village. We can't eat it all anyway."

After Qu Jingyao finished speaking, her brother didn't even say no, but nodded in agreement with a smile. Uncle Da Kui put down the machete in his hand, wiped his sweat with a smile, and joked that he would have a treat this time.

"Uncle Da Kui, we don't have enough money for slaughtering pigs right now. Can we use pork to pay for it?" Qu Jingyao's delicate and fair face showed a faint smile, which made Xuan Shiliu beside her stunned.

The mistress is so beautiful! No wonder the master would fall for a village girl!

Aunt Da Kui came out of the house, smiled and waved her hand: "Forget it, forget it, what's the matter with money? We all live in the same village. If you really feel bad about it, just leave the pork to your Uncle Da Kui. He likes it!"

Qu Jingyao smiled and nodded, thanked the couple, and called them to come to the village to eat meat later.

"Don't worry, I'll go there in a while and tell your mother to leave a big bowl for aunt, hahaha..." Aunt Da Kui and her husband are both straightforward people. They have helped their family a lot before.

The few of them were chatting happily when Dashan and Lingling, the brother and sister from the Zheng family, came running in from outside the yard, panting and shouting towards the yard:

"Qingchen, we are here to help."

"Yaoyao, you are really not loyal enough. I just found out about such a big thing as the division of the family today. It's all my fault that I went to my grandmother's house before, otherwise I would..." Xu Lingling hugged Qu Jingyao's arm and said in the direction of the Qu family with an angry face.

Xu Dashan, who was standing by, reached out and knocked on his sister's head, telling her to stop talking nonsense and help quickly!

Xu Lingling stuck out her pink tongue and smiled at Qu Jingyao embarrassedly, and reminded her worriedly to let her know if there was anything in the future, because she couldn't bear it alone all the time.

"Okay, okay! I understand, housekeeper!" Qu Jingyao had already searched through the original owner's memory and found out that Xu Lingling was her best sister in the village.

Dashan and Qu Qingchen were carrying the pork and walking towards the village.

Xuan Shiliu followed behind Qu Jingyao and the others, helping her carry a basin of pig offal. She didn't know why the mistress didn't allow her to throw away such a smelly thing. She held her breath and slowly followed forward.

At this time, a big pot had been set up under the big locust tree in the village. Many adults and children gathered there, waiting to eat meat. Many people also brought radishes and cabbages, which were vegetables they had stored before, from home and mixed them with the meat. The taste was so delicious.

Qu Jingyao glanced in the direction of the Qu family courtyard, only to see that the carriage in front of the gate had long disappeared and the gate of the courtyard was closed. A sneer appeared on the corner of her lips.

Xu Lingling followed her gaze, her eyes full of disdain and disgust, and turned around to persuade her not to worry about that family of cold-blooded people. Since they had split up, she should just live her own life.

"Oh, I heard from my dad that you guys stayed in the mountains last night. You really didn't even know how to come to my house. Do you still treat me as your best sister?"

Xu Lingling blamed her dissatisfiedly. When she heard that something happened in Qu Jingyao's family today, she ignored her grandmother's attempts to keep her and insisted on running back.

Qu Jingyao smiled helplessly, stretched out his hands to hold her soft lips: "You also know that you, the village chief, have helped our family too much. If I were to trouble your Qu family again..."

"Yaoyao, you are a young child but you think too much. How can I, a righteous villager, be afraid of them? Remember that good will never prevail over evil.

Tonight, your family should move to the empty house at the entrance of the village. Later, have your aunt and mother go and clean up the house. It's much safer than living in the mountains."

After the headman finished speaking, Qu Jingyao smiled awkwardly. It was true that living in the mountains was much more comfortable than living in the house at the village entrance, but she didn't dare to say it out loud. Now that there was a little beggar, it would not be easy to take her back. So, she decided to stay in the village for the time being as the headman said.

Liu opened her mouth slightly and was about to say no when she saw her daughter giving her a look. After being persuaded by Aunt Cui Lian and several women around her, she had no choice but to agree.

"Okay, then I'd like to thank the head of the village and my sister-in-law. I'll take the children to clean up later."

Aunt Cuilian patted Liu's hand and said with approval, "That's right. Living in the mountains is not a common thing. It's safer in the village."

The other aunts and ladies around said that they had unused pots and pans at home, which they would bring to the mother and son to use first. Others also took out quilts and kang mats. Seeing the enthusiasm of the villagers, Liu felt very happy from the bottom of her heart, and she took her daughter to thank everyone.

The meat had already been put into the pot. Qu Jingyao took out some seasonings that she had bought in the town yesterday from the small cloth bag around her waist and threw them into the pot.

Xu Lingling asked her puzzledly what those were for, only to see Qu Jingyao wink mysteriously and say: "Try that meat later, I'm sure it will be so fragrant that you'll be infatuated."

Xuan Shiliu, who was standing by, recognized several of the herbs. Could it be that the mistress also understood pharmacology? Her eyes lit up at the thought. The mistress's body...

"Hey, can you light a fire?"

Qu Jingyao called out to Xuan Shiliu who was in a daze behind her. She was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly and walked to the stove and sat down.

More and more people gathered around, and the aroma of meat filled the entire village. The greedy children were drooling and squatted by with coarse porcelain bowls in their hands, watching.

Even the few small dogs in the village smelled the scent and came over, wagging their tails.
