Wow, this rough-around-the-edges pregnant wife is something else, she's incredibly ruthless!

Chapter 139 Encountering Sheng Xiu and His Group on the Way into the Mountains

After a whole day of getting acquainted, everyone has learned what they should and shouldn't know.

After breakfast, Sheng Bing, who was the first to arrive at Duanshan Village, became the tour guide for the other three, leading them around the village. Also accompanying them were Lu Huai, the little guy in Sheng Yu's arms, and Lu He and Lu Yan following behind them.

As for Lu Chuan and Meng Tong, they stayed at home doing housework.

One person was responsible for cleaning up the remaining empty rooms in the yard, while the other was urgently building a small wooden house in an open space on one side of the yard.

According to Sheng Yu and his team, quite a few people came today.

There was Lu Chuan's second elder brother, Sheng Xiu, his third elder sister, Sheng Zhuzhu, and some younger relatives.

There were about ten people in total. Since his house couldn't accommodate them all, Lu Chuan had to go back to his old profession and build a few wooden houses for them to live in.

After tidying up the only remaining room in the house, Meng Tong said goodbye to Lu Chuan and went into the mountains.

We must treat them to a good meal and drinks tonight!

Following the path that used to lead up the mountain, Meng Tong picked a lot of tender wild vegetables along the way.

There are hardly any people in the village now, so no one is going to steal these things.

After walking for about half an hour, Meng Tong casually found a flat open space to sit down.

The woman slowly channeled her supernatural power by placing a wild grass on the ground.

As before, we waited patiently, and soon several pheasants came.

Meng Tong wasn't in a hurry; her main prey was wild boar, and there wasn't much space left anyway.

Leaning against a large tree, Meng Tong pretended to doze off while channeling his supernatural abilities.

"Shhhhh."

Suddenly, the sound of leaves being cut and the clattering of animals running came from afar. Meng Tong immediately opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the sound.

Is this attracting so many large animals?

Because small animals cannot make such loud noises.

The woman narrowed her eyes slightly and leaned against the tree trunk, her eyes fixed on the branch that was clearly pointing east.

"Second brother, hurry up, we'll be there soon."

"understood."

A woman's voice and a gentle man's voice rang out, and Meng Tong's pupils contracted slightly before he turned his head to look.

More than a dozen people riding bison were running toward her.

Bison are very fast, not to mention they are not ordinary bison, their muscles are taut all over.

This is…….

Meng Tong was stunned for a second before snapping back to reality.

These are people from Dawn Island.

Meng Tong had considered many ways for them to make their entrance, but this was the last one he had thought of. After a moment of hesitation, he still walked out from behind the tree trunk.

"Hey! Someone's here."

The woman at the head of the group wore a bright red silk dress and had a particularly beautiful forehead ornament, giving her an exotic look.

It just felt a little incongruous to be riding on a bison.

She looked at the woman who had suddenly appeared with eyes that bore a striking resemblance to Lu Chuan's, her nostrils slightly flared, a hint of doubt in her expression.

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

Stopping not far from Meng Tong, Sheng Zhuzhu's clear voice rang out, her tone carrying a sense of pressure.

Others cast inquiring glances at her, but only Sheng Xiu, who kept smiling, offered her kindness.

He was different from Lu Chuan and Sheng Yu. Sheng Xiu's appearance could be described as handsome, but he did not have their robust and strong features; instead, he appeared somewhat weak.

His body was rather slender, but not skin and bones; he had the air of a frail scholar yet possessed a noble air.

His temperament is as elegant and gentle as his appearance; that phrase perfectly describes him.

The people on Mo are like jade, and the son is unparalleled in the world.

"Why did you come to the mountains, sister-in-law? Did you know we came from here?"

"Huh? Sister-in-law?"

Sheng Zhuzhu's pretty yet spirited face was filled with confusion.

"Second brother, are you out of your mind? Who are you calling your sister-in-law?!"

"Of course it's her!"

Pointing at Meng Tong who was standing in front of the tree trunk, Sheng Xiu flipped himself off the ox.

This scene would probably be a disaster if anyone else did it, but when he does it, it feels like he's riding a tall horse.

Sheng Xiu tossed the rope restraining the bison to a boy behind him to hold, and then came to Meng Tong's side.

His long, narrow eyes held a kind smile as he bowed slightly to her and said, "Didn't you scare your sister-in-law? Why didn't Chuan'er come with you?"

"How did you know I'm Lu Chuan's wife?"

Meng Tong was genuinely curious. He seemed frail and weak, but his eyes were actually full of shrewdness.

Meng Tong felt that Lu Chuan's second brother was not someone to be trifled with.

"Hehe." A light laugh escaped his lips as Sheng Xiu replied gently, "Fourth Uncle said that Chuan'er's wife is beautiful, generous, and capable. I can tell why he said that as soon as I saw you."

"Sister-in-law, don't listen to your second brother's flattery. I must have been blind to not recognize you just now. You're not angry with me, are you?"

The girl should be older than her, so calling her "sister" would be reasonable, but looking at the pretty, lively, and even slightly silly girl in front of her...

Meng Tong paused for a second before a smile appeared on her lips. "No."

These four siblings really do have completely different personalities.

Sheng Zhuzhu is the kind of girl who likes to act cute and clingy. She smiled when she saw Meng Tong's cool and beautiful face.

She seemed to have been struck by Meng Tong's words, staring directly at him with her starry eyes, and naturally taking his arm.

"Sister-in-law, you're so beautiful. Your smile is gorgeous."

"Uh... thank you." It was the first time Meng Tong had encountered such an enthusiastic person, and she felt a little uncomfortable. She could only force a smile and give Sheng Xiu a look.

Sheng Xiu smiled gently, pulled Sheng Zhuzhu away and tossed her into the arms of a tall man beside him. He said apologetically, "She just likes to have these episodes, sister-in-law, please don't mind. Since you're here, why don't you lead the way and we'll go back together?"

"Second brother, who are you calling a 'sick' person?! So what if I like my sister-in-law? I..."

Sheng Zhuzhu kept chattering away when the tall man behind her covered her mouth.

"Honey, stop making a fuss. Let's go home first, okay?"

It turns out that this tall man is Sheng Zhuzhu's husband, who is also her brother-in-law.

Meng Tong glanced at him casually. He had a very handsome face with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a high nose, and he also looked very composed.

At least he was completely subdued by the enthusiastic Sheng Zhuzhu in just a few seconds. The young girl sweetly clung to his arm and said with a smile, "Husband, you have to keep your word! Otherwise, I'll..."

"Alright, I will definitely do as I promised my wife."

With his arm around Sheng Zhuzhu's waist, their affection for each other was obvious.

Meng Tong turned to Sheng Xiu and said, "Why don't you guys go back first? Just follow this path down, and I'll see if I can catch a few pheasants to take back for dinner."

"No need, we caught plenty of pheasants, and they were still alive."

Sheng Xiu turned to the side and pointed to the last bison, which was a young man in a black robe. Several pheasants were hanging on the sides of the bison he was riding, and they even flapped their wings when they looked over.

Meng Tong: Okay!
