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

"Grandma, can you sell me this basket too?" Qu Jingyao pointed to the basket of chicks nearby.

"What are you selling? I'm giving it to you."

The old lady picked out ten chicks and finally gave her a rooster as a gift, saying that she could use it to raise chicks in the future.

Qu Jingyao didn't quite understand all this, but she still accepted it with a smile and asked Baiguo to count out the copper coins and hand them over.

Qu Qingchen reminded his sister that it was time to leave, otherwise the village head would be waiting anxiously.

Qu Jingyao nodded slightly. Baiguo beside him picked up the chicken coop, and the three of them walked towards the city gate.

Soon they discovered that the village head who was waiting at the city gate was walking back and forth, looking at their figures among the people coming and going.

"Uncle Village Head, we're back." Qu Qingchen and others ran forward.

Xu Lizheng looked around at the few people and asked what happened and why they took so long to come back.

"Uncle Lizheng was delayed by something, let's go back."

Baiguo helped Qu Jingyao onto the ox cart, and Qu Qingchen also sat on the shaft. Seeing that they had nothing to do, the village head had to give up and catch up with the ox cart and walk towards the outside of the city.

Qu Jingyao looked at the small bag of food on the cart, and then heard the head of the village sigh deeply. The feeling was the same as that of the dejected people on the roadside.

"Alas, this is a bad year! I heard there's going to be a war. With the harvest coming up, how are the people going to survive?"

Qu Qingchen looked at the people on the roadside and felt very uncomfortable. If his sister had not discovered the secret of the cave, they would probably be like these people, sighing and not knowing how to live in the future.

"Miss, we really need to prepare in advance. The battle is not far from us. I am afraid..."

As Bai Guo finished speaking, the village head's shrill voice rang out: "What? Bai Guo, who told you that?"

Qu Jingyao glanced at Baiguo and then explained to the village head uncle that Baiguo used to wander around all day for a living, so naturally he knew more about these things than them, the common people, and got the news faster.

Bai Guo nodded suddenly. She was afraid that the headman would not believe her, so she asked if they had seen any beggars in the city today.

They looked at each other, as if they hadn't seen a single...

"The beggars in the city have already heard the news and have fled for their lives. If the situation really threatens Ruyang City, who will care about their lives? Sigh..."

Qu Jingyao and Bai Guo analyzed that even if a war broke out at this moment, it would probably take a while to defeat the enemy. No matter what, the Yuan Shao Kingdom was considered to have a strong military force.

Baiguo opened his mouth but didn't tell them the details he knew, as he didn't want to put them in danger.

The ox cart quickly drove back to the village, and the village head said he would gather the villagers to talk to everyone about the rising food prices in the town.

"Okay, Uncle Zheng, we'll go back first."

Qu Qingchen thanked the village head, turned around, picked up the chicken coop and walked into the yard.

Before Qu Jingyao and his servant entered the yard, they heard Lingling's voice shouting:

"Yaoyao and Brother Qingchen are back."

In the room, Liu put down the work in her hands and glanced out the window. The moment she saw her children, her heart finally settled down.

Aunt Cuilian on the side joked: "You feel relieved now, okay? It's getting late today, you should quickly prepare dinner for the children. We will go back first and come back tomorrow."

Xu Lingling pulled her mother's arm and shook it, insisting on playing with Yaoyao for a while before going back. Aunt Cui Lian had no choice but to poke her forehead and agree.

When Qu Jingyao and his servant walked in, they happened to see this scene and chuckled.

"Auntie, please let Lingling stay with me for a while longer."

Liu stood up and escorted Aunt Cui Lian out of the house. Xu Lingling took her arm and started asking questions.

"Yaoyao, I heard from Aunt Liu that you took the pearl flowers to town. How is it? Did anyone buy them?"

Looking at Lingling's curious face, she couldn't help but want to tease her, then she sighed and lowered her head.

Seeing this, Lingling quickly persuaded her that it was okay. She believed that someone would like such a beautiful thing, and asked her not to be discouraged. There would be a temple fair in two days, and they could take it to the temple fair to sell it, and there would definitely be many people who would like it.

Hearing Lingling's words, Qu Jingyao couldn't help but burst out laughing, and even Baiguo beside him covered his mouth and laughed secretly.

"Okay! Yaoyao, you dare to lie to me! Watch this."

She stretched out her hand and grabbed Qu Jingyao's waist. The two of them rolled into a ball in an instant, laughing like silver bells.

Baiguo looked at the two people fighting helplessly and began to tidy up the scraps of cloth and beads on the kang.

In the yard, Qu Qingchen began to build a chicken coop.

"Mom, these chicks are still a little small. If we can't do it at night, can we put them in the kitchen first?"

Liu nodded slightly and checked the chicks one by one. All eleven of them were very happy, and ten of them were hens. After raising them for a while, they would have eggs to eat.

"Then you do it first, and Mom will go cook."

Liu smiled slightly, turned around and walked towards the kitchen.

The two people who were fighting in the room also quieted down, and Qu Jingyao began to teach Lingling new styles.

"Miss, I'll go help Madam cook." After saying that, Bai Guo walked outside. She couldn't help by staying here.

After seeing the person leave, Lingling asked:

"Yaoyao, this Baiguo person is quite hardworking."

Qu Jingyao glanced at Bai Guo's back, her lips curled into a cold smile. Lingling looked at her expression and asked, "Could it be that she...?"

"You should know that you can judge a person by his appearance but not by his heart. You should be more cautious in everything you do."

"If she's no good, let my father kick her out of the village." Xu Lingling's face changed, and she clenched her fists and raised them in front of her eyes and said.

Qu Jingyao shook her head helplessly and told her not to do so. If she found out that Bai Guo had bad intentions, she would have a thousand ways to make her regret coming to their house.

Xu Lingling worriedly warned her not to be soft-hearted when the time comes.

"Don't worry, we haven't discovered anything yet."

The two sisters chatted while doing their work, and soon they had sewn seven or eight flowers.

At this time, Xu Lingling leaned close to her ear with a smirk on her face and told her the gossip of the Qu family today. The mother and daughter Wu did not want to serve Old Lady Xu and wanted to go back to the town.

"Guess what? Old Lady Xu actually beat up Madam Wu and didn't let her go back to town. Hahahaha, if you ask me, this is what they call "evil will be punished by evil."

Qu Jingyao looked at Lingling who was laughing so hard that she was bent over. She also raised the corners of her lips, but the sneer in her eyes was particularly obvious.

"In the past, our family worked like slaves for the Qu family. This time, let them experience it too."

"Who says it's not true? Humph, look at that Qu Xiuxiu, she's still so arrogant. I heard that her uncle from her grandmother's family had his legs broken by someone because of a gambling debt."

Qu Jingyao laughed sarcastically. Mrs. Wu didn't dare to go against Old Lady Xu, otherwise, with Old Lady Xu's unruly temper, she would have divorced her.
