108 Who Ate the Messenger Eagle
Blood Thirteen only felt that the past few days had been very torturous. He was very concerned about the captured messenger eagle.
The combat strength of the messenger eagles specially trained by their Blood Rain Pavilion was very powerful. Moreover, they were very good at chasing and escaping. However, they were usually used to send messages.
They were one with the Thousand Fragrance Moths that were specially raised. As long as they smelled the moth, they could fly over quickly within 300 to 500 kilometers.
However, the price of training one was very high. Not every assassin had a Thousand Fragrance Moth. Now, the moth and messenger eagle were both gone.
“Doctor, can you help me ask how that eagle is?” In the past two days, perhaps because he was too anxious, Blood Thirteen could already speak smoothly.
Hu Xiaotong: “I don’t know. They probably ate it.”
When the boys in the village caught the birds and beasts, their first thought was to eat them.
It had been three days. The eagle’s bones would probably have been lost somewhere already.
Blood Thirteen felt despair in his heart. At the thought that he had lost such a huge deal, along with the messenger eagle, the Branch Master would definitely make him pay for it when he returned, right?
He only had so little retirement money. It seemed like he was going to lose it.
Suddenly, a sharp whistle came from outside. Blood Thirteen was stunned.
It was the Branch Master and the others!
“When we find Blood Thirteen, we’ll definitely make him compensate us severely! The employer is already angry. It’s been so many days, but there’s no news at all!” As the Branch Master spoke, he asked his subordinates to send a signal.
At this moment, they had already walked into the village.
This group of people was dressed in white and looked out of place in the village.
“Who are you looking for?” The old men sitting under the yellow-horned tree at the entrance of the village asked from afar when they saw these people walking into the village.
The Branch Master’s scalp subconsciously tightened, thinking that he had been discovered.
Looking over, they were a few helpless old men. Then he remembered that they had already disguised themselves.
He revealed a smile that he thought was harmless. “Old man, we’re here to look for a family member. His name is Blood Thirteen. Do you know where he is?”
The old men originally found it a little unfamiliar. “Blood Thirteen? What kind of strange name is that?”
On the other hand, Old Master Hu remembered that there seemed to be a patient at Doctor Hu’s house. He seemed to have said that he was “Snow One”. Was he from the same family?
He told his guess to the person beside him. When Elder Ma heard this, he looked at the Branch Master in disapproval.
“You’re already mourning? He’s not dead yet.” Elder Ma shook his head.
Another old man said, “Not necessarily. They might be here to clash with fate. In some places, people will wear mourning clothes before a dying person. Clashing like this, perhaps the person will come back to life.”
Everyone felt that it made sense.
The Branch Master and the others were speechless.
What f*cking mourning!
In order to disguise their identity as assassins, they had specially worn white when they came, making them look innocent.
If not for the sake of finding Blood Thirteen and the messenger eagle, would they have to work so hard?
The old men did not know that the people in the village did not inform Blood Thirteen’s family at all. They thought that they had received the news and immediately pointed the way.
The Branch Master and the others went to Doctor Hu’s house.
In the past three days, Little Ah Yu had been busy helping and did not come to play with Qin Huai.
Qin Huai had specially asked Chi Jia to buy some snacks previously, but he did not have the chance to give them away.
“Big Brother Ah You, what have you been playing with these few days? I’m helping with the farming. It’s such a big piece of land. When it grows up in the future, our family will have a lot of food. At that time, I’ll even give you pancakes!” As Little Ah Yu spoke, she waved her two small arms.
At the mention of pancakes, she even swallowed her saliva.
Old man Wang’s family had been making pancakes for the past few days mainly for convenience. They would make the pancakes early in the morning and bring them out to work. When they were hungry, they would eat a little.
Then, they would work until night and come back for a meal.
In order to let everyone replenish their strength better, Liu Shi specially added more salt to the pancakes, causing everyone to drink more water.
Now, Little Ah Yu’s spatial pocket was already filled with all kinds of pancakes because she had been liking pancakes recently.
Qin Huai asked Chi Jia to take out the pastries he had prepared. They had been bought three days ago. The pastries were very good-looking and were produced by a famous pastry shop in town.
Although it was very different from the ones cooked by his kitchen maid, it was the only one in town.
After the pastry box was opened, Little Ah Yu saw the beautiful pastries and could not bear to eat them.
Qin Huai pushed the box in front of her.
He liked to see Little Ah Yu eat because when Little Ah Yu ate, she always displayed a sense of happiness, as if she was eating the most delicious thing in the world.
Actually, even the brown rice at home was sometimes a little unbearable for the Wang family. Their throats hurt, but Little Ah Yu had never thought that it was not delicious.
She even found the water at home delicious.
Little Ah Yu picked up a red pastry and took a bite. Her face puffed up as she ate and some crumbs fell onto the stone table.
Qin Huai took out a handkerchief and wanted to wipe it away for Little Ah Yu, but she picked up the broken crumbs on the stone table and stuffed them into her mouth without hesitation.
Her movements were too fast, and Qin Huai could not stop her in time.
He frowned and could not help but say, “… dirty.”
“I won’t be sick after eating dirty food!” Little Ah Yu patted her stomach gently. “Fifth Brother taught me this!”
When Wang Wulang brought Little Ah Yu out, if he usually roasted something to eat, it would always be burnt and black. He would just pick food up from the ground. Why would he consider if it’s dirty?
Little Ah Yu finished a mouthful of pastry and did not feel like eating anymore. Qin Huai gestured for Little Ah Yu to continue eating, but Little Ah Yu shook her head.
“I’m full.”
“Chi Jia.”
“I’m here.”
Chi Jia walked over from afar.
Under Qin Huai’s signal, he was about to pack up the food box. When he looked down and saw the open food box, his expression changed.
“Young Master, this pastry seems to be spoiled!”
The entire box of pastries was covered in black dots. If one did not look carefully, they would think that they were decorations of the pastries themselves.
Chi Jia picked up a piece of pastry and sniffed it.
“It’s moldy.”
Qin Huai’s expression changed. He jumped off the stone stool and walked to Little Ah Yu’s side. He said to her, “Spit it out!”
Little Ah Yu did not seem to understand.
[Kid, what you ate has expired! Spit it out!]
[I wasn’t looking at you for a while, and you’re going to give yourself food poisoning!]
Little Ah Yu understood. They were asking her to spit out what she had eaten. She covered her mouth and shook her head.
“No, no. I can’t vomit out what I eat. They’ll be sad!”
Qin Huai :”…”
Chi Jia: “…”
[…]
[If you don’t vomit it out, your grandmother and mother will be sad!]
In the end, under Qin Huai’s insistence, Chi Jia used his internal energy to induce vomit for Little Ah Yu.
Little Ah Yu vomited weakly and looked at Qin Huai with an especially aggrieved gaze.
“Ah Yu, the Young Master is doing this for your own good. Your stomach will hurt if you eat something dirty,” Chi Jia hurriedly explained for his Young Master.
As he spoke, an aggressive voice suddenly came from outside.
Someone shouted, “Which reckless person dares to eat my messenger eagle!”
“I think your village is courting death!”
Qin Huai’s eyes turned cold.
