Super rare beast girl, run away! The emperor's uncle is coming!
Chapter 96 The Suspiciousness of the Old Madman
As the two ox carts swayed out of the city, many people on the street rushed in one direction.
Liu and Yue Niang looked around curiously: "What's going on? Why are they all running over there?"
Qu Jingyao signaled Baiguo to go and find out. That direction happened to be the Wu family. If she guessed correctly, something must have happened to the Wu family.
She looked at him with a half-smile on her lips.
Baiguo nodded, turned around and jumped off the ox cart, walking straight and quickly towards the group of people. She pulled the woman beside her and asked in a low voice.
"Sister, what happened up front?"
"Don't you know? Something happened to the Wu family. I heard that Mr. Wu was so angry that he became ill. He was also unlucky enough to be bitten by some poisonous creature. This is not the worst."
Bai Guo listened to the long-winded elder sister talking about the Wu family with great excitement, and finally whispered in her ear nervously:
"Miss, you don't know that the eldest son of the Wu family died soon after he got married."
Baiguo's mouth twitched. Why did this lady smile so obscenely?
"Thank you." Baiguo bowed and turned to walk towards his master's ox cart.
The older sister behind her was gossiping and asked her if she wanted to go and see the fun together.
After hearing this, Baiguo waved his hand without even turning his head and walked faster.
Bai Guo returned to the carriage and jumped up nimbly. After sitting down opposite his master, the ox cart just slowly drove out of the city.
"Master, I heard that Wu Yuanwai's illness hasn't healed yet and he's been poisoned again. I don't know what bit him. The young master of the Wu family is dead."
Bai Guo didn't feel comfortable saying it directly, so he just told his master that he was dead.
Qu Jingyao also noticed the hesitation in Bai Guo's mouth, and sneered, "It would be a good thing for him to die."
When Liu heard the news, she cursed in her heart. God really has eyes.
Qu Jingyao comforted her mother, telling her not to worry about them and their siblings protecting the family in the future.
Yue Niang smiled lightly and patted the back of Liu's hand.
Xu Lizheng drove the ox cart and asked Qu Jingyao where the whole family was going to live.
"Uncle, let's live in the mountains temporarily and move down after the house is built."
"How can we live on this mountain? It's so dangerous!"
Qu Jingyao smiled and explained, "Isn't Dabai still here? Who dares to hurt them?"
Only then did Xu Lizheng think of Dabai, who was also a ferocious beast in the mountains. Who could be more ferocious than this big beast?
But I am still worried about these orphans and widows.
"Uncle Village Chief, don't worry. The cave where my father and I used to live while hunting is still there. We can stay there temporarily."
Qu Jingyao also said that this is only temporary.
Seeing that the brother and sister had made up their minds, Xu Lizheng could not persuade them any further and could only give them a few more words of advice.
"Uncle, go back and tell Auntie to let both of them come to your house to do the work for the next two days. It's really..."
Qu Jingyao opened her mouth embarrassedly.
Xu Lizheng swung the whip in his hand and said with a smile that these were all trivial matters. He would tell her aunt when he got back. It just so happened that her grandmother Xu was bored at home every day, and with these people around, she could keep her company and talk.
Soon the two ox carts returned to Lingshui Village.
When passing by the burned yard on the way into the village, Qu Jingyao saw the charred mess from afar.
"Master, look!"
Baiguo pointed to the doorway to the woodshed in the yard.
Qu Jingyao frowned and looked carefully, only to find that it was the old madman. He was sitting in front of the door with a lonely look on his face, not knowing what he was thinking.
Her eyes paused. How could it be possible? How could she see sadness and desolation in the old lunatic's expression...
She called out to the village head to stop and pack some things.
Qu Jingyao and Baiguo got off the ox cart and slowly walked towards the yard.
The old madman seemed to have heard the noise, and a trace of panic suddenly flashed across his face. Finally, he raised his dirty face and smiled foolishly at the master and servant.
"Hehe...hungry...hungry..."
Qu Jingyao pursed her lips tightly, her brows furrowed a little. She stared at the old madman's eyes, trying to see something from his face, but it seemed as if she had seen it wrong from his lonely expression just now.
"Are you hungry?"
Qu Jingyao gestured to Baiguo to bring some cakes from the car.
Baiguo nodded, glanced at the old madman, turned and walked towards the ox cart.
The cries of a few chickens in the corner of the yard interrupted her thoughts.
These must be taken away, otherwise they will be lost if left here.
She turned around and shouted to her brother to take the chicken and the things from the kitchen away.
The three brothers Qu Qingchen jumped off the carriage and started catching chickens or cleaning the kitchen.
Liu reminded them to pack up some farm tools.
At this time, Baiguo came over with a bag of snacks and two white flour buns.
"Here, take these and eat them. When you're hungry, come find me in the village."
Qu Jingyao warned the old madman. She didn't know if he was really crazy, but he hadn't hurt her so far.
After he finished speaking, Qu Jingyao watched him wolf down the steamed buns, and occasionally smiled at her foolishly.
Qu Jingyao sighed helplessly, and she really was overthinking it.
She stood up and walked towards the kitchen. She had pickled wild boar meat yesterday, and she had to take it away.
"Yaoyao, it's almost time for us to go. There will be too many people in the village soon, and they will cause gossip and make Mom angry again."
Qu Qingchen looked at the empty kitchen and said.
She nodded slightly and several people carried their things out of the yard.
When I looked back, the old madman in front of the woodshed had disappeared.
She shook her head helplessly, got on the ox cart and drove along the village road towards the back mountain.
A quarter of an hour later, there was a dense forest ahead and the ox cart could no longer move forward.
Qu Jingyao asked her brother to unload all the things, and they carried them up the mountain bit by bit.
Xu Lizheng and his son wanted to help, but she persuaded them to stop.
"Uncle Lizheng, you and Brother Dashan have been running around for half the night. It's time to go back and rest, otherwise Auntie will be worried. There are some cloths and needlework on the ox cart. Please take them home first. Auntie and her friends will need them in the next two days."
Xu Lizheng looked at the cow he was leading, sighed, and could only agree.
"Okay, uncle will go and return the ox cart first, and I'll take these things back. If you have any problems, let me know when you come down the mountain."
Qu Jingyao and her daughter nodded gratefully.
It was not until Xu Lizheng and his son drove away in their ox cart that they carried their things and headed towards the dense forest.
Liu and Yue Niang carried their bags and followed the children for a while before they reached the cave.
Yue Niang looked at the Dabai couple walking out of the cave, her face was stunned and she stopped in her tracks.
"Don't be afraid, little auntie. They won't hurt anyone."
"Big White Snow, let's go."
Yue Niang couldn't help trembling in her heart as she looked at the two huge beasts.
Liu saw Yue Niang's fear and walked over to her side and started chatting with her.
Dabai was the one who saved them last night. If it weren’t for Dabai, they would probably be dead.
Yue Niang was surprised that Baihu was so human-like.
I was surprised to see them helping Yaoyao carry things into the cave bit by bit.
