Little Ah Yu handed the water over, but the other party looked vigilant and did not take it.
“Uncle, Ah Yu’s water is very delicious.” Little Ah Yu nodded vigorously. “Try it. It’s sweet!”
Of course, that person was unwilling to drink it. Although this child looked kind, he was not in a state to trust others.
“He doesn’t want to drink it.” Little Ah Yu’s face was still covered in tears. She was very anxious and hoped that Meatball could help her think of a solution.
[He’s seriously injured and shouldn’t be able to move. Try pouring it into his mouth.]
Meatball was not very sure.
Little Ah Yu picked up the water again and tiptoed, wanting to pour it into that person’s mouth.
“Ah Yu, where did you go?” Old Madam Wang suddenly appeared.
The expression of the person lying on the ground turned cold, and he clenched his hidden weapon again.
“Ah Yu?” Old Madam Wang’s figure completely appeared. She saw the bloody person on the ground at a glance and her pupils constricted.
The man’s fingertips moved-
“Grandma!” Little Ah Yu shouted happily.
That person’s expression changed slightly. He swung his hand forcefully, and the hidden weapon shot out under the urging of internal strength.
Thud-
The hidden weapon didn’t pierce Old Madam Wang, but a man in black fell down from the wall.
The man in black was still holding a dagger. After being hit by the hidden weapon, he fell and the dagger was stabbed into his body.
Even in death, the man in black did not react. Was he killed by the hidden weapon or his own dagger?
His eyes widened, and he died with his eyes wide open.
After using the last of his strength, the person lying on the ground had blood gushing out of his stomach which could not be suppressed.
“Hurry… go…” was all he could shout before he fell unconscious.
[Ahhh, he’s dying. Give him some water!]
Old Madam Wang also saw the person behind who wanted to ambush her. She quickly ran to Little Ah Yu and wanted to carry her away.
“Grandma, water, give Uncle some water! Uncle is about to die!” Little Ah Yu hurriedly protected the cup of water in her arms to prevent it from spilling.
Old Madam Wang did not ask in detail. She took the cup of water and opened the unconscious person’s mouth to pour the water in.
He was unconscious and could not swallow on his own.
Old Madam Wang could only cover his mouth with one hand and held his shoulder with the other. She shook him twice and the water flowed down his throat.
“Alright, let’s go.” She didn’t even look at the man after that.
Old Madam Wang took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood off the cup before wiping her hands.
After that, Old Madam Wang felt that she could not waste her granddaughter’s divine water. Hence, she felt this person’s waist and took out two small medicine bottles, a hidden weapon, and a few daggers.
She stuffed it back in with disdain. In the end, she finally found a purse. There were blood-stained banknotes and broken silver inside.
Old Madam Wang picked out a few pieces of silver and carried Little Ah Yu away.
She noticed that the person did not seem to be bleeding anymore. She did not know if the blood had dried up or stopped.
Little Ah Yu did not know what her Grandma was doing and only watched obediently from the side.
“Grandma, there’s another uncle over there.” Little Ah Yu pointed at the dead man in black.
“That’s a bad uncle. Ignore him.” She did not know if this was a good thing, but she just did not want to provoke him.
“Oh.”
Old Madam Wang had been to the county city before and knew the approximate location. She carried Little Ah Yu and hurriedly walked around to another alley.
There was also a street over there with many merchants.
She walked to a butcher’s stall and threw the small piece of silver that was still stained with blood into the pile of pig waste at the side.
“Give me ten catties of meat! Half fat and half lean.”
As the butcher picked at the meat and dug out the silver, he said with heartache, “Old lady, if you want to buy meat, then buy meat. Why are you throwing silver around? It’s even stained with so much blood. It smells!”
“Pfft, a butcher like you is still afraid of the smell of blood? I’m in a hurry and my family is still waiting. Don’t dawdle!” Old Madam Wang said impatiently, “I’ve already bought quite a lot. Give me all the pig’s offal on your side. It won’t sell for much anyway.”
Pig intestines were indeed not worth much. Not to mention the strong smell of blood, there was also the smell of internal organs that could not be removed. Many people did not like this taste.
“Alright, I’ll just treat it as making a friend and give you a bonus. Remember to come to my stall again and take care of my business.”
“Yeah.”
There were five to six catties of pig intestines and five catties of meat. The butcher carefully helped cut and wrap the meat, delaying the process for a while.
When Old Madam Wang carried the meat, Little Ah Yu took the initiative to come down and walk on her own.
Just as they reached the street, they heard a group of people running out in a hurry.
“Quick, quick, quick!”
Someone at the side muttered, “I heard that a murder happened there. There’s blood everywhere. How tragic!”
“Our county hasn’t encountered a murder in a long time. Seems like the county lieutenant is going to get very busy.”
“Let’s go and watch the commotion.”
“What are you going to do? Won’t you have nightmares after watching it at night? You might as well watch those disaster victims collect their food!”
… .
When Little Ah Yu heard this, she wanted to ask Old Madam Wang, “Grandma…”
“Stop talking. Grandpa Village Chief and the others are waiting anxiously. Let’s go over quickly.”
“Oh, oh.”
The meat was tied up with ropes and wrapped in a layer of banana leaves, barely blocking the others’ vision.
Otherwise, if others saw that they’d bought meat as refugees, there would always be people who would object.
When they walked back to the food transport team of the Hu Family Village, Village Chief Hu was already anxious. “Where did you go? There was a murder case over there just now. I heard that someone was killed. We were blocked here and couldn’t find you.”
Everyone was really worried for a while.
“Ah Yu wanted to relieve herself, so I brought her to look for a latrine pit.” Old Madam Wang stuffed the meat in her hand into the innermost part of the cart and said casually, “I happened to see that the meat was selling well and bought some. What murder case are you talking about? We saw a group of people running.”
“Forget it, it’s good that you didn’t see it. I forgot to buy meat! When we go back, share some with me. I’ll buy it from you according to the original price.” When Village Chief Hu heard that they were fine, he didn’t continue asking.
“Sure.”
After the small episode, the people from Hu Family Village finally set off for the village again. When they reached the entrance of the county city, they were even questioned at the last minute.
Because there was no problem with them, they were let out very quickly.
Little Ah Yu lay on the cart with her eyes narrowed. Everyone thought that she had fallen asleep, but she was actually in the spatial pocket with Meatball.
[Kid, you’re amazing! You saved that person!]
Meatball’s vision was limited, so it could not sense what was happening in the distance.
However, it saw that the mission notification showed that it had been completed. This meant that Ah Yu had saved a person who would have died.
This was the magical part of the Myriad Spirit Water. It could quickly repair the vitality of living beings and restore them to their peak state.
If the person was seriously injured, even if they were only half a breath away from death, it could still bring them back.
Little Ah Yu was also very happy. “Is that uncle getting better? That’s great!”
[You’ve completed a temporary mission. Although it’s not much help in upgrading the spatial pocket, there’s a small gift bag!]
Little Ah Yu was curious. “What’s a small gift bag? Can it be eaten?”
[Ha, of course not. This is a gift from the other elves, but you can only choose one!]
[There are many kinds of gifts. Some are very useful, and some are completely useless.]
[What gift you can get will depend on your luck.]
Meatball explained as simply as possible.
Meatball felt that it was probably a newbie gift.
After all, the mission was relatively simple. It was just giving water to a dying person. It was not a challenge. The gift pool should also be low-level.
[Kid, choose one!]
Meatball flapped its wings, and five balls of light appeared in the air. Each ball of light was a different color.
Little Ah Yu’s eyes darted from one side to the other and back again.
After hesitating for a while, she raised her hand and pointed at the light blue ball of light in the middle.
“I want this!”
“Little Brother wore this color, it looks good!”
Meatball remembered that the little boy seemed to be wearing light blue clothes. It was hard for her to forget.
[Then let’s see what gift you received.]
