Wu Hua generously shared the toys with Qin Luo, but she didn't share the food at all.

"Luo Luo, let's play together. I'll teach you! This should be done like this..."

The two, one human and one beast, played until well past midnight before finally going to sleep...

Early the next day

Qin Luo insisted on leaving, otherwise, if they stayed any longer, Wu Hua would fall into depravity.

All he thinks about is eating, drinking, and having fun. He has lost all his previous ambitions and is becoming more and more like a spoiled brat!

Her attitude was firm, and Madam Li couldn't persuade them to stay any longer. She only told them that they must come to see her again in the future.

She had filled the donkey cart with all sorts of food and items, and Sun Yanzhi took out fifty taels of silver and gave it to Qin Luo.

"Luo Luo, this is the reward money for capturing Zhu Dou. Keep it safe!"

Qin Luo didn't refuse; after thanking him, he handed it to the leader.

She asked him to help return it to Sun Yanzhi, knowing full well that the silver was not a reward from the imperial court.

The government office is in a bad situation now; he should be the one to raise the funds.

The leader was happy to help her and even gave them instructions.

If you wish to interfere in matters within Chunyang County, you must wait until Jingming arrives before entering.

If you are just passing through, then follow the monks or Taoist priests through the city during the day and do not linger...

They even prepared a layout map of Chunyang County, marking the locations where bandits massacred disaster victims.

He felt in his heart that Qin Luo and Wu Hua would definitely take action, and he believed that they could definitely resolve this matter!

Qin Luo also gave each of Old Madam Li and the leader a bag of pills, exchanged farewells, and then left with Wu Hua in a donkey cart.

Wu Hua still looked unhappy, her arms crossed, glancing sideways at Qin Luo.

"Luo Luo, Jingming and the others haven't arrived yet! Why don't we wait for them in Shipo County? It's so much fun here!"

Qin Luo pinched its little ears with one hand and squeezed its little cheeks with the other.

"Do you even know who you are? What is your mission? Is it to eat chicken, duck, fish, meat, cakes, and fruits?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Hua felt guilty and dared not glance at her sideways, instead resorting to coquettish words.

"Luo Luo, dear sister, I was wrong, okay? I just thought that since we had to wait anyway, why not eat and drink well while we wait?"

Qin Luo finally understood the hardships of raising a child; not only did she have to feed and clothe it, but she also had to slowly teach it the ways of the world.

She made Wu Hua face her and began to analyze the situation to her in a serious tone.

“Sun Yanzhi is just a newly appointed county magistrate, and he only has three servants in his backyard. What does that tell us?”

Wu Hua scratched her head, thought for a moment, and said, "It means he's not used to the magistrate's pomp and circumstance yet!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Luo gave it a sharp rap on the forehead.

"That means he has no money. The government's allocation is probably only enough to repair the damaged buildings. His meager monthly salary is probably barely enough to support three servants. You eat so much every day. If you stay any longer, the mother and daughter will probably have to pawn their clothes!"

Wu Hua felt a little guilty after hearing what it said, because she had previously thought that officials all had a lot of money!

It was filled with remorse at that moment. It shouldn't have eaten so much food from them, and it hadn't even thought to leave them some silver when it left.

Qin Luo saw that its little brows were furrowed and its little hands were fidgeting with their nails, and she knew that it must be regretting it.

She gently parted Wu Hua's small hands and told it that before she left, she had left gold and a thank-you gift in the guest room, and had even specifically used its name.

Wu Hua then relaxed her brow, took her arm, and laughed happily.

"Luo Luo, you're so kind! Thank you!"

Then she asked worriedly, "What if the servants take that thing? What if it gets stolen?"

"No, those servants were all disabled to some extent. Grandma Li bought them because she felt sorry for them, and they all had indentures! Besides, they were of lowly status. Taking the gold and running away would be no different from sending them to their deaths!"

"Oh! That puts my mind at ease!"

The two, one human and one beast, chatted as they traveled, resting when they were tired and eating when they were hungry.

Anyway, donkey-hide gelatin can cure itself, so no one needs to worry about it.

But who would have thought that just as Qin Luo was about to close his eyes and rest,

A piercing scream jolted her awake.

Wu Hua was startled and trembled. Qin Luo quickly picked her up and gently patted her to comfort her.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's probably just a scam! You stay in the car, I'll go and deal with him!"

Wu Hua held onto her neck tightly.

"I'll go with you!"

"good!"

Then Qin Luo picked it up and walked to the donkey cart.

Then I saw a well-dressed young man lying in front of the donkey-hide gelatin, groaning and moaning.

"Ouch! My waist, my hips, my humerus, my ulna, my tibia, my patella, my femur, I can't take it anymore! Your donkey has smashed them all!"

Before Qin Luo could speak, Ejiao angrily started pawing at the ground.

She kept moaning and groaning, as if she had suffered a great injustice but couldn't speak.

The donkey kept pointing at the young man in front of it with its hooves and spitting at him.

The young man seemed to be a bit of a germaphobe; he immediately avoided the donkey when he saw it spitting.

Seeing his nimble movements, Qin Luo made a sarcastic remark.

"My donkey-hide gelatin is truly a miracle cure! It cured a person whose bones were broken from head to toe with just one spit!"

Ignoring her sarcastic remarks, the young man lay down on the ground again.

"It was your donkey that hit me, you have to pay compensation! Otherwise, you're not leaving here!"

Wu Hua looked at him thoughtfully and said to Qin Luo, "Luo Luo, he has purple aura on him!"

Qin Luo didn't understand what it meant, so she asked, "What does it mean?"

Wu Hua leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Usually only emperors have purple aura, but his is very faint, so he must be a prince!"
