Chapter 88
88 Forgive Me for Giving You Flowers
Chi Jia increasingly realized that ever since the Young Master came to Hu Family Village, his various words and actions had become more and more like a true six-year-old child.
For example, now, he was very childish and insisted that he produce a packet of candy.
“Young Master, this place is 20 miles away from the nearest town. It will take me four hours to go and come back. I still have to protect your safety,” Chi Jia said expressionlessly.
In the past, when the Young Master arranged for him to go out, it was always dangerous. Now, he was asked to buy a packet of candy.
Although he knew that he definitely wanted to use it to coax the Wang Family’s little girl.
Qin Huai said, “Use your movement technique. Two hours is enough.”
Chi Jia: “…”
If his brothers found out that he had exhausted his internal energy just to buy a packet of sugar… he could imagine the mocking expressions on their faces.
“Forget it, let’s go into the mountains first. I’ll buy more when I get back.” Qin Huai took the initiative to let go.
Chi Jia heaved a sigh of relief. He was afraid that the Young Master would become stubborn and insist on sending him out. Then, he would not be at ease with the Young Master entering the mountain alone.
“Yes.”
When Ah Yu followed her brothers happily into the mountains, there was another person in the distance, looking for Lingzhi in the mountains.
“Second Miss, the farmers usually come in from the mountains here. How can there be Lingzhi?” The guard beside her was a little puzzled. “This doesn’t look like a place where Lingzhi can grow.”
The girl in the light pink dress did not listen to the guard.
What a joke. In the original novel, there was a bush of Lingzhi growing here. The female lead also obtained her first bucket of gold because she sold this Lingzhi.
Although their family was not very poor now, she still cherished Lingzhi that could be sold for 500 taels of silver.
Moreover, it would be even better if she could meet the female lead here.
The female lead had a divine artifact on her. With it, not to mention obtaining a single Lingzhi, even 100 stalks of thousand-year-old Lingzhi would not be a problem!
Unfortunately, that thing only recognized her as its master. Otherwise, she would have been a little tempted and wanted to snatch it.
As the girl in pink searched, she asked the people beside her, “By the way, how’s the task I gave you last time?”
“Second Miss, only a few days have passed. The other party has probably just arrived. I wonder if they’ve found that person,” his subordinate said carefully. “The mountain path is difficult to walk on, and it’s hundreds of miles away. It’s not so easy to find a person. After they complete the mission, they’ll inform us. Second Miss, don’t worry.”
The girl in pink was really a little worried. Traffic and communication in ancient times were too backward. Wherever she went, it would take her half a month. Some news was already severely outdated by the time they received it.
“Please don’t let anything happen.”
At first, the girl in pink was a little nervous. Now, she no longer felt that it was a big deal. In any case, these were all paper figures.
The last time she sneaked out to play, the mother of this body had beaten a personal maidservant to death. At that time, she thought that she would definitely have nightmares.
In the end, nothing happened. Instead, she felt a little excited.
It was too satisfying to be able to control the lives of others without having to take responsibility!
“I want it to be foolproof this time. If you can send a message, get the assassin over there to cut off her left ear as proof. Otherwise, I won’t be at ease.” She remembered that there was a red birthmark on the vicious supporting actress’s left ear. As long as the assassin found the right person, it would definitely be on the ear they brought back.
“I’ll do it now!”
After that person received the order and left, the girl in pink walked around the mountain twice more. Just as she felt that she had gained nothing, she suddenly heard another girl’s excited voice.
“Oh my god, there’s actually Lingzhi here!”
She smiled. Look, wasn’t the original female lead here now?
… .
At this moment, the assassin that the girl in pink was talking about was lying at Doctor Hu’s house.
“You’re really lucky. You’re not dead even in this state.” Doctor Hu changed Blood Thirteen’s dressing as he said to him, “The bones in your body are slowly growing. You’ll probably need to recuperate for two months. If you’re in a hurry, you can also hire a cart to get someone to push you to the county city.”
Blood Thirteen replied with great effort, “I still have something urgent to attend to. Can I trouble you to-”
Doctor Hu said without thinking, “I don’t have any strong medicine here. Either you take your time to recuperate here, or you go to the county city.”
“No,” Blood Thirteen said. “Can I trouble you to send a message for me? I’ll get someone else to complete my task for me.”
Doctor Hu was curious. “How are you going to send a message?”
Under Blood Thirteen’s instructions, Doctor Hu found his bag and took out a special jar. He opened the jar and a small moth flew out.
As soon as the little moth saw the sun, it flew away slowly in front of Doctor Hu.
Doctor Hu: ???
“You want that moth to send a message for you? Can’t you afford to raise a pigeon?” How far could a moth fly?
Blood Thirteen: “…My family is poor.”
What Doctor Hu did not know was that after the moth flew in the air for two hours, a goshawk suddenly swooped down and took it into its mouth before immediately flying away.
The last time, Wang Wulang and Little Ah Yu’s people found three pheasants in the mountains. This matter could not be hidden from the villagers. After everyone finished their farm work, they all went to the mountains to try their luck one after another.
The food given by the Imperial Court was naturally not enough. The villagers who knew how to hunt and forage had long entered the mountains to search.
The children walked to the so-called pheasant nest and realized that there was nothing inside. The pheasants had long run away.
“Why didn’t you get your little lamb to help? I think it’s so powerful!” Hu Sanpang said to Wang Wulang. “Last time, your little lamb performed too heroically! It actually knows how to control snakes. Do you think it’s a divine sheep?!”
Wang Wulang said angrily, “That’s just luck. Our sheep were even given to us by the village chief’s family. Then why don’t you say that the village chief’s family is blessed by God?”
Little Ah Yu sat on the lamb’s neck. The little lamb carried a little person and looked especially funny.
A boy said, “This lamb is so small. Will it be able to take it if we sit on it?”
“No, it only likes to carry my sister. If Ah Yu doesn’t let it carry her, it will even be angry!” Wang Wulang was quite experienced in this.
Little Ah Yu listened to these children speak one after another. She found it very interesting.
These children were very good to her. No one came to tease her, nor did they ask her to do anything. If they encountered any delicious wild fruits on the way, they would give her a share.
Now she vaguely understood that if she really liked someone, she would not stuff snow into her neck, push her into a mud pit, or snatch her steamed buns…
Who had done this before?
[It’s a dream.] Meatball quickly said.
“That’s really a bad dream!” Little Ah Yu looked at everyone and said to Meatball in her heart, “I like these little brothers so much. I like my house so much.”
At the thought of the little brothers, Little Ah Yu could not help but think of the Little Brother at Third Aunt’s house.
What was that good-looking little brother doing now?
“Are you looking for pheasants?” An adult’s voice suddenly sounded. The children followed the voice and saw Chi Jia with Qin Huai.
In Chi Jia’s hand was a pheasant.
When Little Ah Yu saw Qin Huai, her eyes suddenly widened as she shouted, “Little Brother!”
After shouting, she covered her mouth, looking vexed.
She had forgotten that she had promised not to play with Little Brother anymore.
Qin Huai took out the hand behind his back. He was holding an exquisite flower garland that was carefully woven with vine grass and dotted with flowers of various colors.
Compared to those randomly matched garlands, this garland was clearly filled with aesthetic interest.
Little Ah Yu’s eyes lit up.
What beautiful flowers!
Qin Huai handed the garland in Little Ah Yu’s direction.
He seemed to be asking her: This is for you. Do you want it?
Seeing this, Wang Wulang hurriedly stood in front of Little Ah Yu. “Did he bully you? Ah Yu, let’s not play with him!”
Chi Jia: “I can bring you to find pheasants and help you catch them.”
Wang Wulang: “Ah Yu, our Wang family is the most magnanimous. Please forgive him if it’s a small mistake!”
Wang Liulang and Wang Qilang covered their faces. Fifth Brother was too embarrassing!
