Tang Yuan panted as she found Little Ah Yu and brought her back to Old man Wang’s house.
The lamb tilted its mouth and nibbled on the radish given to it by an unknown villager before slowly following.
When they were about to arrive, a villager called out to it, “Little lamb, come over. The new grass here is very fresh and tender.”
The lamb took a look and really did not want to go.
Hmph, don’t think that it was stupid. That was because the villagers were lazy and didn’t want to pluck the weeds from their fields. They simply asked it to eat the weed.
It sniffed and looked at the human brat to ensure that she was no longer in danger. It still went over in the end.
It was not an ordinary lamb. It had eaten all the grass along the way from Hu Family Village to Nanhe Town and then from Nanhe Town to Yongding County.
In the end, it determined that other than the grass in the courtyard of Old man Wang’s Town, the grass in Hu Family Village was the most delicious.
It didn’t smell like those outside.
When it went, it realized that the Spirit Treasure Rat was lying in a pile of grass with its limbs spread out. It was holding a small sweet potato less than two inches in its arms. It was clearly planted by the villagers.
Beside the Spirit Treasure Rat, there were actually seven or eight ordinary rats. They were all squeaking and eating grass roots.
The lamb: ?
The villager chuckled and said, “Ah Yu is really a blessing. In the past, our village was poor and there were not many rats. When we came, we also caught them for their meat. In the past two years, more rats have come. It’s a headache. Then, Ah Yu found this treasure rat and it controlled the other rats in the village.”
Another person said, “Isn’t that so? The village doesn’t lack food anymore, and these rats can help eat the grass roots. It’s unknown how much trouble they’ve saved us. Usually, there’s also a place to go for the old vegetables, potato skin, sweet potato skin, fish head, and so on at home. The village doesn’t smell so bad anymore.”
“The last time someone came to our village and saw the rats helping us eat the grass roots, they were shocked.”
“Haha, if I hadn’t seen them become obedient bit by bit, I would have been shocked too.”
“It’s all because of Ah Yu. Even the rat she raised is good.”
The Spirit Treasure Rat seemed to be able to tell that everyone was praising it. It raised its head proudly.
On the other hand, when the lamb saw the group of rats, it felt a sense of danger.
It walked over and sat on the Spirit Treasure Rat’s tail. The Spirit Treasure Rat squeaked, but it did not dare to move.
The lamb panted as it grazed. It glanced at the “conscientious” rats and its eyes darted around.
On the other side, Little Ah Yu had arrived home. Seeing that Old Madam Wang had already returned, she told her about meeting someone.
Old Madam Wang asked, “Your Fifth Brother went to call the village chief? Why didn’t he come back with you?”
The village chief was at the cane sugar workshop. Old Madam Wang settled everything there and temporarily arranged for more than 20 villagers to work in the workshop before the villagers dispersed.’
They didn’t see Wang Wulang?
“Perhaps Fifth Brother has gone astray with everyone.” Little Ah Yu was about to leave. “Then I’ll go look for Fifth Brother again.”
Could it be that Fifth Big Brother was too excited and forgot how to walk in the village?
Aiya, Fifth Big Brother was so careless.
“Achoo!” At this moment, Wang Wulang, who was in a pit in the village, sneezed fiercely and accidentally fell back halfway.
Damn it, some immoral person had dug a ten-foot-deep pit on the path and even sealed the soil and covered it with grass.
He almost fell to his death!
He shouted for a long time, but no one answered.
Wang Wulang rubbed his nose and said angrily, “I have to master the ordinary martial arts quickly and learn Qinggong, lest I encounter such a situation again in the future.”
Coincidentally, Village Chief Hu and the others walked over.
They were discussing the workshop.
“With this workshop in our village, we won’t have to worry about our livelihood in the future. Even if we can’t make a fortune, with this skill, we won’t starve to death.”
“I’ll say it again. Old man Wang’s family is kind. There’s nothing they don’t hide. It’s not too much to treat such good skills as family legacy skills, but they gave them to the village.”
“That’s right. They only took 20% shares of the workshop and distributed 30% to the village’s ancestral hall. The rest was distributed to the other villagers. I don’t think I can do this.”
“We have to return the favor. No matter what, we have to protect the Wang Family. We have to protect them even if we have to risk our lives!”
Village Chief Hu had the lowest seniority in front of the elders. When he heard this, he only nodded.
Suddenly, he saw a huge hole in the ground in front of him and said in confusion, “Isn’t that the cellar that was dug the day before yesterday? Why did it break? Where’s the wooden sign beside it?”
“I’m afraid the wind was strong last night and blew it away,” someone said.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Wang Wulang’s faint voice from the cellar. “Village Chief, I fell in…”
When he saw the group, Wang Wulang told them that a stranger with a face full of blisters had come to the village and was at Doctor Hu’s house, so he asked Village Chief Hu to take a look.
When everyone heard that an outsider had come, their expressions changed drastically and they hurriedly went to Doctor Hu’s house.
After waiting for a long time, no one came to save him. Wang Wulang: “?”
Where did everyone go?
In the straw shed under the yellow-horned tree in the village, the person lying on the wooden boards watched helplessly as Divine Doctor Xue tied him up like a cocoon.
This person: “?”
He smiled bitterly. “Doctor, I just have blisters on my face. There’s no need to treat me like this, right?”
“You’re a traitor of the Swimming Dragon Clan, right?” Divine Doctor Xue ignored the other party’s suddenly stiff face and continued, “It’s rumored that the Swimming Dragon Clan is very cruel to traitors. They will use the most evil snake venom to concoct poison. The poisoned person will begin to rot from their face and toes. Their body will eventually rot until only their internal organs are left, but they might not die even then.”
The man could no longer smile. “I don’t know what you’re talking about. I just accidentally entered the deep mountains and was bitten by a poisonous bug.”
“The Swimming Dragon Clan has a holy dragon. It’s said that it weighs more than 500 kilograms. The holy dragon’s venom can kill people instantly, but its saliva can detoxify any snake venom in the world.” Divine Doctor Xue looked at him. “When you saw me, you thought that the holy dragon would be here and you would find the antidote in this village?”
That person still remained silent.
If not for the fact that he was tied up by Divine Doctor Xue, he would definitely have told the truth. However, Divine Doctor Xue’s attitude made him understand that he would die if he told the truth.
He did not say anything, but Divine Doctor Xue was not in a hurry.
Instead, he went to the side, picked up the dog-beating stick, and carefully wiped it on the copper plate beside him.
On the third wipe, Village Chief Hu brought his men over.
They went to Doctor Hu’s house first and did not see him.
Hu Ah De told them that he was in the straw shed built by Divine Doctor Xue.
When they arrived at the straw shed, they happened to see Divine Doctor Xue holding a dog-beating stick and gesturing at the person lying on the wooden board.
Village Chief Hu ran over in three steps. “Divine Doctor Xue, you can’t do this! No matter how problematic this person is, we can’t beat him to death privately!”
Divine Doctor Xue pretended to be enlightened and retracted the dog-beating stick.
“I was too impulsive,” Divine Doctor Xue said.
Village Chief Hu felt especially comfortable seeing Divine Doctor Xue cooperate with him. His words were still very useful.
Then, he heard Divine Doctor Xue say, “I couldn’t help but be anxious. This person deliberately approached Ah Yu today. I just asked and he originally wanted to abduct her.”
That person: “?”
Village Chief Hu rolled up his sleeves and called out to his left and right, “Daliu, go to your Uncle Wang’s house and get a big cage. It’ll be fine as long as it’s big enough to sink into the pond! Xiaoliu, borrow Butcher Hu’s Pig Slaughtering Knife! Zhengyi and Zhengyong, one of you will go to the carpenter’s house to order a coffin, and the other will go get a hoe to dig a hole with—Forget it, why should we waste a coffin? When the time comes, just find an unwanted feces pit and throw him in.”
That person: “!!!”
No, who was Ah Yu? He didn’t even know her!!!
