Chapter 89 Cow Dung

Two people came out of the grove, both looking unhappy.

The eldest princess's skirt was torn in several places, and she kept on persuading Hu Xin'er to give up Mu Qing.

Hu Xin'er was holding a bunch of branches and walking in front without saying a word.

Mu Qing quickly stepped forward and took the firewood from her arms: "The princess didn't give you any trouble, did she?"

Hu Xin'er sighed unconsciously: "She's just talking nonsense, let's ignore her."

Mu Qing looked back speechlessly, full of disgust.

They could have enjoyed some time alone with their wives, but this eldest princess stuck to them like a dog-skin plaster.

Erdong waved to them with a bright smile beside the fire: "Xin'er, I'm just waiting for your firewood!"

Hu Xin'er was infected by this smile and replied with a smile: "Is the fish grilled?"

"How can it be so fast?" Erdong knew that they had no experience living in the wild, so he turned over the fish on the fire and started explaining to them.

Hu Xin'er and Mu Qing sat on the grass, their hands quietly clasped together. Mu Qing leaned over slightly and wiped the stains off her face.

They are all dirt and grass leaves that were rubbed against me when I was picking up firewood.

Hu Xiner really liked this feeling. She was so confident and calm when facing the eldest princess.

But one has to admit that the eldest princess is indeed an extremely outstanding woman, and has the ability to easily break them up.

Any woman would inevitably feel uneasy when facing such a love rival.

After all, it seemed that the only thing she could rely on was Mu Qing's love, but Mu Qing was full of doubts.

Seeing Hu Xin'er staring at him in a daze again, Mu Qing smiled gently and was about to make a joke when his expression suddenly changed: "Why is there blood on your clothes?"

"I just killed a snake and the dagger was stained with blood, so I wiped it with my clothes." Hu Xiner didn't care.

"Are you not hurt?" Mu Qing was a little nervous.

Erdong looked as if he had seen a ghost: "You killed the snake?"

The two of them were circling around Hu Xin'er, but no one paid any attention to the eldest princess, who was also very angry.

When had she ever been treated so coldly? She was so angry that she turned and left.

But suddenly he stepped on a puddle of soft and smelly stuff.

"Ah!" a scream was heard.

The three of them turned their heads and saw that the princess's exquisite and luxurious embroidered shoes were deeply stuck in the cow dung. Their expressions were extremely panicked: "What is this!"

"How did you step on cow dung?" Erdong was the first to laugh.

Although he was laughing, he still took the initiative to step forward and rescue the noble princess from the cow dung.

The princess couldn't wait to kick her dung-stained shoes aside. She couldn't hold onto her noble and cool image any longer and yelled, "Why is there cow dung here?"

When he turned around, he found someone herding cattle not far away, so he walked over there angrily.

"Don't run around." Hu Xiner ran over while holding back her laughter. After all, she was the noble eldest princess. If something happened to her while running around in the wild, it would be their responsibility.

"I'm going to kill that cow!" The princess ran forward in a rage, not even caring that she was not wearing shoes. "You beast! How dare you humiliate me, the princess? Ah!"

Hu Xiner tried her best to stop her but failed. Instead, she was dragged for a distance.

She quickly winked at Erdong: Stop watching the fun!

Erdong knocked the princess unconscious with a single slash of his hand without saying a word.

This place is fertile and a good place for nearby people to graze cattle and sheep. Who would have thought that the eldest princess would not recognize the cow dung and stepped in it?

When the old man who was herding cattle heard the shouting, he realized that he had offended an important person and was so bewildered that he wanted to kneel down.

Hu Xin'er quickly helped him up: "Old man, it's okay now."

"Thank you, thank you!" This cow is the foundation of the farmers' livelihood. The old man raised his head gratefully, and when he saw that it was Hu Xiner and Mu Qing, he was immediately surprised and happy.

"Eh?" Hu Xiner also felt that he looked very familiar, and an idea suddenly came to her.

Isn’t this the old cattle herder I met when I first picked up Mu Qing?

Mu Qing was injured and was picked up by Hu Xin'er, but Hu Xin'er could not carry the unconscious Mu Qing by herself. Fortunately, she met an old cowherd who helped her.

"It was my ox that carried this young man back to the village!" The old man relaxed when he saw that it was an acquaintance.

Mu Qing only then realized this connection, thanked the old man, and advised: "Old man, you'd better not come here to herd cattle these days. This..."

He had an expression that was difficult to describe, and Hu Xin'er quickly responded, "This is a young lady from the capital who is visiting. She's not a bad person, but she has a bad temper. Please stay away from her for a few days until she calms down."

She made up an identity on the spur of the moment because if she revealed her identity as the eldest princess, the old man would probably be frightened.

The old man nodded in agreement, but then showed a hesitant expression: "This young lady was knocked unconscious by you, what are your plans next?"

Letting the princess faint on the ground is obviously not a good idea.

Hu Xiner was reminded and looked at Erdong.

Erdong whistled and glanced around, but didn't look at her and the eldest princess.

"Erdong, take the eldest princess back!" Hu Xiner suggested.

Erdong shook his head and whistled.

For such a passionate person to show an expression of great resistance, it can be seen how much psychological trauma the slap the eldest princess received when she fell into the water and was rescued had caused him.

Mu Qing coughed lightly: "Erdong!"

Erdong said reluctantly: "The princess is here to find you, so you should take the responsibility."

"Absolutely impossible!" Mu Qing's eyes were so cold that they seemed to be freezing.

Erdong turned to persuade Hu Xin'er: "Xin'er, think about it, if the princess stepped on cow dung, she would definitely be furious. But if Mu Qing sent her back, not only would she not be angry, she might even be overjoyed!"

He has always been straightforward and rarely uses roundabout ways to persuade others.

Hu Xiner thought about it and felt that it made sense, so she looked at Mu Qing.

Mu Qing's face hardened when his wife looked at him like this, but his eyes revealed a hint of grievance: "How could I possibly touch anyone other than my wife?"

"What's the big deal, man?" Erdong was afraid that Hu Xin'er would be soft-hearted.

Mu Qing glared at him coldly: "I'm already married, how can I be the same as a bachelor like you?"

He is a man who must uphold male virtues.

After discussing for a long time, Hu Xiner was wavering.

In the end, Mu Qing and Erdong lifted the princess by her arms and feet respectively, and carried her away like a dead pig.

"Uncle, thank you for what you did before!" Hu Xiner took out a tael of silver from her pocket and put it in the old man's palm.

"That's not possible!" the old man refused repeatedly.

"Thanks to you as a matchmaker, Mu Qing and I can get married. How can you not give me this money?" Hu Xiner persuaded the old man hard, and he finally agreed to accept it.

She said goodbye to the old man with a smile on her face, and after walking a few steps, she suddenly remembered something.

He quickly turned back and asked, "Old man, were you herding cattle nearby on the day Mu Qing was injured? Did you hear any other noises?"
