218 The Swimming Dragon Clan Are Here
In fact, they had not only brought back the donkey carts, but also a carriage. The carriage had been left behind by Qin Huai and was now for the Wang Family to use.
Compared to the donkey carts, the carriage was naturally more comfortable and faster. The women of the Wang Family were all in the carriage.
The men were either driving the carriage or in the donkey carts.
In the third donkey cart was a group of tall and burly men with dreary expressions.
They were all left behind by Qin Huai to help protect Little Ah Yu.
Old Madam Wang waved her hand and called them all over to harvest the fields.
She even said, “Aren’t you looking for all kinds of jobs? Come and harvest grain for our family. Food and accommodation are covered. You’ll be paid 50 copper coins a day. It’s not inferior to your salary.”
Little Ah Yu also looked at them eagerly, especially Chi Ding. “Mr. Ding, come to our house to help. I’ll bring you water to drink!”
In order to differentiate between the way they addressed Chi Ding and Chi Jia, the children decided to call him Mr. Ding.
Chi Ding: “…Alright.”
Just like that, a group of well-trained secret guards became the contract farmers invited by the Wang Family. They rushed to the fields to harvest grain.
When the Wang Family returned, no one had the time to exchange pleasantries because dark clouds had begun to gather in the sky. The wind was blowing, and it was about to rain. They quickly ran back to their fields to gather the crops.
Even the uneasy Wang Aibao did not have the time to think about how to face this brand new village. She had already been pulled into the kitchen by Madam Feng.
“Sister-in-law, you’re in charge of watching the fire. The old and young masters are tired from work, so we can’t lack hot water.” Madam Feng arranged the lightest work for her and stuffed a large fan into her arms. “Don’t sit in front of the stove foolishly. Just add another bunch of firewood when the fire gets weak. When it’s hot, fan it. If you’re thirsty, drink water yourself. In any case, this is your house. I don’t have to tell you anything else.”
When Wang Aibao heard Madam Feng muttering in her ear, she felt extremely relieved.
Wang Aibao: “Sister-in-law, I understand.”
Madam Feng was still a little worried. “We have to boil this water before letting it cool. If anyone comes to look for water, don’t let them drink the unboiled water in the vat.”
Wang Aibao nodded with a smile. She was originally at a loss, but after hearing Madam Feng give her a bunch of instructions, she felt much more relaxed.
Usually, they would drink the unboiled water, but today was different. If they drank that water and had a stomach ache, it would delay them for a period of time.
“Then I’ll go to the fields to pick vegetables. I’ll leave this place to you,” Madam Feng said and left.
As soon as Little Ah Yu returned, she was surrounded by the villagers. There were people calling her Little Blessing, and others calling her Little Treasure. The children surrounded her.
“Little Sister Ah Yu has become more beautiful again!”
“She even grew a little taller!”
“Little Sister Ah Yu smells so good!”
“You brats, stand further away. Your snot is still on your face and your bodies are covered in mud. Don’t dirty Ah Yu’s body!” A lady saw these children surrounding Little Ah Yu, and hurriedly went over to scold them.
Little Ah Yu smiled. “Auntie Hua, it’s fine. I’ll be careful not to get dirty.”
Madam Hua said, “Ah Yu still remembers Auntie Hua? You’re so obedient. Then play with these brothers and sisters. Auntie Hua is going to be busy.”
When they arrived back at the village, the Wang family was more relieved. All children under the age of five could play and not participate in any work. At most, they could help to bring water to their families.
Wang Liulang and Wang Qilang had long run to the wild fruit fields and mingled with the children in the village. They even told them excitedly about selling candied haws in town.
Their business of selling candied haws had been slowly decreasing recently because the wild fruits in the fields were almost ripe. They could only be made into dried fruits and they could not be preserved for long.
When the next batch of wild fruits grew again, they would sell them.
Wang Wulang was specially allowed to accompany Little Ah Yu. He mainly wanted to pay attention to those children who did not know their limits, preventing them from knocking Little Ah Yu down.
“Ah Yu, let’s go to the mountain to play. I haven’t been to the mountain in a long time.”
Little Ah Yu disagreed. “There are too many children. Grandma wouldn’t allow us to go to the mountain.”
“What’s there to be afraid of? We’re just nearby. The adults will come as soon as we shout. In addition, you can bring the lamb along. By the way, let’s bring the Spirit Treasure Rat too. Perhaps we can even find treasures.” Actually, this was Wang Wulang’s real goal.
Wang Wulang had wanted to release the Spirit Treasure Rat in town to look for any treasures, but he was stopped by the Wang family.
There were shops and residences everywhere in town. Even if they were searching for treasure, they were going to other people’s houses. What was the point of that?
There would be no end of trouble.
Now that everyone had finally returned to the village, how could Wang Wulang sit still? He immediately wanted to test if the Spirit Treasure Rat could really find treasures.
Wang Wulang had heard the name Spirit Treasure Rat from Little Ah Yu. He thought that Little Ah Yu had heard it from the adults, and the adults thought that Little Ah Yu had heard it from somewhere else.
The other children had long been interested in the little rat on Little Ah Yu’s shoulder. Now that they heard that it could find treasures, they were all very happy.
“Ah Yu, Ah Yu, let’s go to the mountain to search for treasure!”
“Yes, yes. I heard from Grandpa that there are many treasures left behind by the giants on the mountain. He said that they were left behind by the previous ancestors!”
“Your grandpa was lying to you. My grandma told me that there are tears shed by Immortals on the mountain. Those tears turned into gems and sank into the mountain. As long as we can find the gems, we can find the Immortals.”
“I think yours is more unreliable!”
“You’re clearly the one who’s wrong!”
The two little kids, still in their diapers, stood with their hands on their hips. They pointed at each other angrily.
Little Ah Yu pulled one with each hand. “Then let’s go to the mountains to search. Perhaps there are treasures left behind by the giants and Immortals.”
Little Ah Yu even thought that if they did not find anything, she would take out some fruits from her pocket. She could not let these big brothers and sisters cry!
In order to cooperate with the Wang family, Meatball also deliberately told Little Ah Yu that she was only two years old now and would only be three years old in the second half of the year.
Therefore, Little Ah Yu had always thought that the children who were three or four years old were her elder brothers and sisters.
Just like that, the group of children entered the mountain.
Usually, the adults would be worried if so many children walked in the mountains together. But now that they were going to harvest the crops, they couldn’t care less about what the children were doing.
For example, Old Wang’s family had yet to discover that Old Liu had come to the village to help. They were still busy in the other fields.
At this moment, Little Ah Yu and the others, who had entered the mountain majestically, did not notice a group of people quietly walking towards the Hu Family Village.
The expressions of the people in the lead were solemn. With every few steps they took, their expressions darkened.
“The clues indicate that the Divine Dragon disappeared in this area. We searched for half a year and even asked the Imperial Preceptor to help us deduce the direction, but there’s nothing here.” Sweat kept dripping from the forehead of the person who spoke. He said uncertainly, “Do you think the Divine Dragon is gone?”
This was something none of them dared to believe.
“You can’t let the Sacred Envoy hear this! The grass is growing abundantly on the grave of the last person who said that!”
“But we really didn’t find any traces of the Divine Dragon. Even the Dragon Disc didn’t react recently.”
“The Divine Dragon has hundreds of years of cultivation. Not to mention ordinary people, even a group of experts armed with heavy poison can’t defeat it! Moreover, when the Divine Dragon fights, there will definitely be a signal…”
It was impossible for anyone to kill the Divine Dragon in an instant without the Divine Dragon even reacting, right?
How was that possible?
Unless there was a snake stronger than the Divine Dragon in this world that swallowed it in one bite.
The few of them looked at each other and vaguely saw a path appear in the mountains.
“There’s a mountain path here, which means that there are people living nearby. We have no choice but to go into the village now. Perhaps those villagers know some clues.”
Of course, once they entered the village, the people in the village could not be left alive. They had to prevent the news of the Divine Dragon from being leaked.
