If you traveled back to ancient times, while others ate Guanyin clay, you would actually have giant

The fat man, whose head had been beaten into a pig's head, was searching all over the capital with his servants for Zhou Wu and Gouwa. However, what he didn't expect was that Zhou Wu was not a local at all and was already on his way back to Qingyang County by boat.

"Doggy, go wash up. You don't need to get all dirty now."

"Ah."

Zhou Wu wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but ever since he boarded the ship, Gouwa had been acting strangely, not talking much and moving awkwardly.

The setting sun shone on the water, creating a scene like a painting, which made Zhou Wu stop and watch. Behind him, he heard the voice of a beautiful woman.

"grown ups."

The unfamiliar yet somewhat familiar voice startled Zhou Wu. He turned around and saw a beautiful woman standing behind him.

"you are?"

Zhou Wu felt that the person in front of him was so familiar, but he just couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

"My lord, I am Liu Hongdou."

"You're Gouwa? Damn."

Zhou Wu finally realized that the little girl in front of him was actually Gouwa. He always mocked TV dramas, but he couldn't even recognize such an obvious girl disguised as a boy. He never expected that he would be the one to be pecked in the eye.

"Yes, sir, we have no choice but to do this in order to survive. I hope you can understand."

"It's alright, this world is indeed very dangerous."

Hongdou washed herself clean and changed into women's clothing. Although she was still young, her beauty was undeniable. Fortunately, she had learned how to hide herself, otherwise, in a place like the capital, she would probably have been devoured without a trace.

"Red Bean, you haven't asked me what I do for a living yet."

“My lord, anyone who can see His Highness the Crown Prince must not be an ordinary person. If I’m not mistaken, you must be an official of the court. But logically speaking, someone as young as you shouldn’t have a very high rank, yet you can see the Crown Prince so easily. I’m quite curious about that.”

"Haha, Red Bean, you're quite clever. But sometimes, official rank isn't everything. The Crown Prince might value my personal charm more."

Zhou Wu answered Hongdou's question half-jokingly, but it was clear that Hongdou was not a three-year-old child.

"Sir, where are we going?"

"Qingyang County is the southwesternmost part of Dalong. Although it is not as prosperous as the capital, with me here, you will not go hungry."

"The prosperity of the capital is not what I desire."

Zhou Wu felt that Hongdou seemed to have a story too, but in this chaotic era, who doesn't have a story?

When on the ship, Zhou Wu usually cooks his own food, mainly because the ship's chefs are just as skilled as the animal keepers.

Seeing a group of little kids staring longingly at him, Zhou Wu gritted his teeth.

"Doing one thing is the same as doing a group, so what's the point?"

When the dishes were served, the children's eyes widened in amazement; they had never seen or tasted such delicious food in their lives.

"Eat up, this is a shrimp. You need to remove the head and peel off the shell, otherwise it will prick your mouth."

"This fish has very few small bones, so you can eat it without worry."

"Hey, this won't do. Kids can't eat this. It's for adults."

Zhou Wu quickly snatched an oyster from a four- or five-year-old child. "There's so much food, and you insist on eating oysters. You've got potential, kid."

Niujia Village

When Zhou Wu appeared with a group of children, Niu Ye was stunned, Niu Er was stunned, and Li Baiwei was even more dumbfounded.

"My lord, isn't this child a bit too young? Although some nobles in the capital may like this kind of child, but..."

Li Baiwei was somewhat surprised to see Hongdou next to Zhou Wu. Had things changed so much in just a few days since they went to the capital?

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you saying? Do you think my husband is that kind of person?"

Zhou Wu really wanted to open up Li Baiwei's head and see what was inside.

"Ah, so this isn't the young lady my husband found? You startled me."

"You're the one who scared me. You've been sitting at home all day, getting yourself sick. This little girl is called Hongdou, and these younger ones are all orphans she took in."

"My goodness, how old are you? You've taken in so many orphans. It must be very hard for you."

Sometimes a woman's few words or a single point can resonate with others. When Bai Wei heard that Hongdou had adopted so many orphans all by herself, she was both moved and impressed. She pulled Hongdou towards her boudoir.

"Uncle Niu, these children are all orphans. We should find a place and hire a few old women to take good care of them."

"Yes, don't worry. They are all unfortunate people, suffering from natural disasters and man-made calamities. It is a blessing they earned in their past lives to meet Miss Red Bean and you."

Grandpa Niu immediately arranged housing so that the little ones would have a place to stay at night. He then went to the village to find a few idle old women, paid them a monthly wage, and asked them to take good care of the children.

After Uncle Niu left with the child, Bai Wei and Hong Dou finished their conversation and walked out hand in hand like sisters.

"Husband, can Hongdou live with us from now on?"

"If you say it's okay, then it's okay."

Zhou Wu was nothing to worry about. Hongdou was kind-hearted, so she just thought of him as another younger sister. There were only Bai Wei and Yang Chun in the family, so having another one would make it more lively.

"Yay~ Great! It's too late today, Red Bean, you can sleep with me for the night, and I'll prepare a room for you tomorrow."

Bai Wei pulled Hongdou back into her boudoir.

It's late at night.

Several dark figures were moving around Niujia Village, and finally stopped at the village committee.

"right here?"

"Ah."

After a brief exchange, the group pinned a letter to the door with a dart and then quickly left.

The next morning, as usual, Uncle Niu was the first to arrive at the village committee office. However, when he arrived at the village committee, he saw a letter nailed to the door.

This method of delivering letters was not friendly, so Uncle Niu immediately got down and opened the letter to read it.

"Oh no!"

After reading the letter, Niu Ye quickly ran towards Zhou Wu's defenses.

"Why is Grandpa Niu running away? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Old Niu was getting on in years, and just then he saw a strong, healthy villager greeting him.

It’s you.

"Hoo~~~~ Carry me~~~~~ Carry me~~~ to Zhou Wu's~~~ house~~ hoo~"

Good heavens, when the villagers saw this commotion, they immediately thought that Grandpa Niu was dying, so they quickly carried Grandpa Niu on their backs and ran straight to Zhou Wu's house.

However, this combination quickly attracted the attention of villagers along the way.

"You little rascal, why are you running away with Grandpa Niu on your back?"

“Master Niu is dying, I’ll carry him to Lord Zhou.”

"What? Master Niu is dying? Quickly find Lord Zhou! His medical skills are superb; he might be able to keep Master Niu alive for a few more days."

"What? Uncle Niu died?"

"What? Lord Niu is being buried today?"

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the Ox was reincarnated as a human.

The man, Niu, was lying on top of the strong man, too exhausted to speak. He could only silently remember these foul mouths and vowed not to let them get away with it later.

Finally, the strong man carried Niu Ye to Zhou Wu's house, but by then Zhou Wu's house was already surrounded by onlookers.
