Chapter 205 - Its Not Me
Chapter 205 – Its Not Me
” Oh my son, oh my dear precious” Chen Mi took little bun in his arms as he kissed him all over, thanking God for protecting his sin but at the same time he didn’t forget the saviour who protected his son like a great soldier, as he thanked Zhu Qian again and again, no matter how many times he expressed his gratitude it only felt superficial ” brother Zhu, I have no idea what and how should I thank you, you stopped those bastards from hurting him” he sniffled ” thank you, really thank you so much” it was the fifth time he was thanking Zhu Qian but still felt that it was a bit lacking.
Yu Dong who was standing beside Chen Mi felt her heartache when she heard the earth-shattering cries of her son, even though he wasn’t logically her son but she had long accepted little bun as hers. She couldn’t even think of a life without this little ball of sunshine, though she wanted to hug her son, she let Chen Mi coddle him all by himself, she could always hug her son once her husband has calmed down enough to let go of little bun. She turned to look at Zhu Qian and smiled ” if you want anything..no matter what it is ..just name it, I will do everything in my power to get it for you” then she noticed his injuries and motioned for him to sit down so she could check him up.
” No, it’s alright. I am fine” said Zhu Qian waving his hands in a flustered manner but Yu Dong didn’t listen to him ” you saved my son, I will be stomping on your goodwill if I don’t even do this much for you”
In the end, Zhu Qian sit down and let Yu Dong treat him because Yu Dong wanted to treat others without inviting any trouble she made a herbal paste made from medicinal herbs and her powers, thus after she was done checking up on Zhu Qian she handed him a small container that had the medicinal paste in it just as Lang returned with Lang Ru in her arms, she bowed to Yu Dong in a jerking manner before her attention turned to her spouse.
Yu Dong left them alone and walked to the backyard, her jaw ticked. The anger she was nearly restraining somehow once again it was a mess. It was clear that the ones who came to steal from her backyard, they intended to completely destroy it!
The vines of the grapes were scratched and pulled like they wanted to rip them all out, the small berry plants that have sprouted were completely stomped on like a herd of cows passed through them.. and among the three goats, one was lying on the ground while the other two licked and caressed the other trying to get her up on her feet. Yu Dong felt like butchering someone and feasting on their meat but then she dropped the idea.
Eating the flesh of such disgusting humans will only get her a stomachache.
She walked towards the goat who was lying on its side and placed her hand on its belly, a green glow brightened the area which was kicked and the painful bleats of the goat calmed down as she crawled back up, Yu Dong rubbed its little head in appreciation and apology ” That’s right you are very brave, thank you for protecting Mai”
As a spiritual user whose energy was drawn from nature Yu Dong could understand the animals and they could understand her as well, one time she jokingly said to this little goat that she should protect Yu Mai who fed her the freshest leaves and left his share of fruits for her, she only commented in passing but who would have thought that the little goat would really put her life on the line for Yu Mai.
Once she was done healing Mr.goat who despite having a flower instead of the vine was called Mr, Yu Dong turned to look at the ground which was stomped upon, she placed her hand on it and noticed that a few of the berry plants were missing as well, she sneered looks like the thieves were a bit too greedy but it was great that they were greedy it will be easier to find them- she released a bit of her spiritual energy to heal the plants that were stomped on the grapevine that was pulled and torn before letting the spiritual energy to search for the stolen plants, those plants were raised by her and had her spiritual energy in them, no matter where they were taken she will be able to find them.
The spiritual energy that she released spread all over the village before zeroing its target and Yu Dong’s lips curled up sinisterly” found you”.
——-
” Are you leaving?” Shen Li and Ye Liu followed after Yu Dong once they saw her leave, they knew that they couldn’t stop her anymore so they could only come outside to wish her luck.
” Be safe?” said Shen Li softly looking concerned and worried on the other hand Ye Liu took the straightforward way “Make sure to beat them up until they can’t sit like Mai” though Yu Dong has healed Yu Mai but neither of them has forgotten about how the poor boy cried after getting hurt.
” I won’t” promised Yu Dong before turning around and following the source from where the spiritual energy was coming from,only a bit of it was left in the plants that were snatched, if she didn’t hurry the spiritual energy might vanish and then it will be hard for her to look for the culprit.
Yu Dong followed the path that was imprinted on her mind and as she came to a stop in front of a rather familiar house, Yu Dong pinched the bridge of her nose ” you got to be kidding me” she muttered darkly, like how crazily stupid one can get? Was it that hard to sit still huh? She was trying to find no trouble with this family but they just have to push her right?
She looked around and then climbed the wild tree that was growing near the old Yu house and waited, she could of course teach them a lesson in the house but then someone will most likely try to save them, what she had in mind for her dear uncle and grandfather.. she didn’t want anyone to interrupt her. Of course, she wouldn’t kill them but – heh, she sneered darkly.
” Father in law, why do we have to plant them at such a late hour?” complained Qiu Bai, he was really sleepy. Today those brats in the Yu family’s new house, made him run a good deal. He just wanted to sleep so why was his father in law dragging him out of the bed so late at night?
” Shut up” hissed Old man Yu, slapping the back of Qiu Bai’s head ” if we plant them in the morning who will tell your mother in law from where we got these plants? She will definitely ask where we bought them from and then it will be troublesome for us to answer her. If we plant them now, even if your mother in law finds out later on, we will be able to muddle things up by saying that we grew them long ago! Understand?”
Qiu Bai nodded his head, sure enough, old ginger was spicier!
Old man Yu rolled his eyes called Qiu Bai stupid in his heart feeling annoyed but then his attention was snatched by the lustrous grapevine and berry plants and all his annoyance vanished in an instant, these were not just some plants they were his road to fortune! He gently put them in his arms then kicked Qiu Bai in his shin ” what are you waiting for dig!”
Qiu Bai winced as he rubbed his shin, cursing his father in law for being a bag of lazy bones but nonetheless picked up the shovel and dug a good deal of soil in his vegetable patch before moving on to tying the vines. The son in law and father in law duo finished planting the stolen goods, Old man Yu went so far as to kiss each plant as he called them his ” little money maker”. He did that with each plant before standing up.
Qiu Bai sighed in relief now he can go back and sleep, he turned around to leave but realized he couldn’t move a little horrified he turned to look at his father in law who was frowning as well ” What are you doing, let go of my shirt!” snapped Old man Yu angrily.
” But… But I am not holding it, see” he raised his hands to show them to his father in law whose ashen complexion turned completely white as he started trembling ” so…if you aren’t holding me .. then who-“
Together the two of them turned and their eyes immediately popped because the one holding them back wasn’t a human but the grapevine that they just planted!
Qiu Bai’s mouth opened as he prepared to scream but them the vines twisted them around and shot like a slingshot before wrapping his and Old man Yu’s mouth up! And just like that an endless night of agony for them started.
