Chapter 231 Mistaken Father

Nadohe is still alive not because he's lucky, but simply because the Su family father and son didn't want to corrupt Qiuqiu.

The baby, who was cursing loudly, was dragged away by Su Jinze, who couldn't stand it anymore.

Na Duohe was tied up and hung upside down from the water dungeon. The others didn't have time to pay attention to him; they needed to treat Su Junyao and Su Jinze's injuries and find Yun Shuyue and the others who were trapped.

As Qiuqiu was leaving, she spat at him twice, and finally dragged the injured Su Jinze away with great effort, saying, "Let's go, let's go, I'll take you to find Thirteen to play with."

Thirteen has no idea that he will soon have to take on the responsibility of soothing the baby, and is currently fighting for his life with the bugs.

"Where did these bugs come from?" Thirteen covered his neck, where there was an inconspicuous red dot.

These insects are tiny, smaller than mosquitoes, and impossible to avoid. Once bitten, one quickly loses the ability to move. After falling, the surrounding vines seem to consciously wrap them up within the peach blossom canopy.

Thirteen drew his knife and slashed his palm, the pain instantly bringing him to his senses. Upon closer inspection, his palm was covered in tiny, dense scratches. He glanced at his brothers beside him; thankfully, only Eighth Brother, who was practically blind, had been hit.

To Thirteen's surprise, Yun Shuyue, this young lady, was not just a pretty face; her movements as she cut the vines were clean and efficient.

"Thirteen, there are more and more vines here, be careful they suck blood!" Yun Shuyue's arm was wrapped in a vine, the thin vine was particularly strong, and a bloody gash immediately appeared on her arm the moment it tore. The thin vine was bloodthirsty, extending its hairs to pierce into the flesh, and soon the pale green blood vessels turned dark red.

Thirteen also noticed that the plants here were all strange, but the long-lost formation kept them trapped inside.

Unless someone can remove the peach blossom barrier and let them out!

Their only hope now is that Chuchu can bring people back to rescue them!

Of course, Qiuqiu lived up to expectations and finally remembered her missing underlings, leading Xia and the others back.

But Yumu told Qiuqiu that she didn't know anything about the strange things in the yard either.

“Our Hundred Flowers Clan members have a kinship Gu planted in their children at birth. Ah Xia used the kinship Gu to find the location of the Na Duo River. I entered through the back door but didn’t encounter the backyard you mentioned.” Yuan Mu thought for a moment, realizing that she had clearly walked through a long corridor and hadn’t passed through any courtyard!

Chiu Chiu wondered, "Did we take the wrong turn?"

Su Junyao was extremely satisfied with his filial daughter. Her act of traveling a thousand miles to save her father was something that would move the old man to the point of being deeply moved!

Besides, his daughter is only one year old!

"Chirp is the best, it will never go the wrong way."

Wishwood: "???"

I didn't realize this man was so crazy when I rescued him!

If Chiu Chiu didn't go to the wrong place, could it be that she went to the wrong place?

At first, Yuanmu didn't know Su Junyao's identity; she only knew that a goddess would descend upon the clan to lead them out of their predicament. Now that she knew Su Junyao's true identity, and that the clan would need his help for development, she naturally wouldn't want to offend him.

She changed the subject, telling the group some information about the courtyard, including details about its previous owner.

According to Manager Mo, this courtyard has actually been abandoned for many years, but the truth of this claim is impossible to verify.

Su Junyao felt a dull pain in his chest and leaned against the wall, panting heavily. Qiuqiu, held by Axia, desperately reached out towards her father. Su Jinze helped her up, his eyes reddening as he looked at his father's wounds, now pale from being soaked in dirty water.

He should have thrown a few more punches!

Chiu Chiu cried anxiously, "Daddy? Daddy?"

Su Junyao weakly shook his head: "Chirp, don't be afraid, Dad is fine."

Chiu Chiu shook her head, "I...don't believe it."

My father looks so frail and unable to take care of himself, my older brother is seriously injured, and I am the hope of this family!

While expressing filial piety, she couldn't resist indulging in a bit of narcissism. Typical of Qiuqiu!

However, Su Junyao's injury really couldn't be delayed any longer. Yuanmu suggested that they find an empty room for Su Junyao to rest first, while she and Axia continued their search.

The two cats that had been following them suddenly darted out and grabbed the hem of Qiuqiu's clothes, meowing.

Chirp squatted down in front of them: "Meow, good boy."

Her father was injured, and she had to take care of him so she couldn't play with the animals.

She nudged the two cats, signaling them to go play by themselves. Nadohe had been captured, and no one would bully them anymore.

"Wait a minute." Su Jinze pressed down on Qiuqiu's chubby little hand that was pushing the cat. "This cat..."

Yuanmu asked, "These two cats are indeed very intelligent."

"Not this one." Su Jinze then petted the cat. It was just that he was dirtier, and the cat seemed disgusted.

Nadohe himself is quite unkempt and doesn't seem like someone who would care for cats. And these two cats, living here, must need someone to feed them. They're so... well... chubby like Qiuqiu, there are definitely other people living in this yard!

The two exchanged a glance, clearly having thought of the same question. Chirp squatted in front of them, looking at one and then the other, before finally swaying over and taking Su Junyao's hand. "Daddy...go!"

Su Junyao: Daughters are so filial!

Others play mind games and plot schemes; Chiu Chiu is different. Her brain is currently only suited for directness. Her intuition tells her that she needs to move forward now and follow the cat!

It's not that I have a particularly strong sixth sense, I just felt that my godfather wouldn't let her have it!

New account, no worries. I've already died once already!

The tabby cat led the way, while the black cat, also injured, walked with a limp. Su Junyao, being led slowly by Chiu Chiu, exchanged a glance with the black cat, feeling that something was off.

Is he imitating this cat's walking style?

Black Cat: Huh? Why are you walking with the same steps?

Having learned his lesson, Su Jinze wanted to figure out the true intentions of everyone in Yuncheng. It wasn't until Yuanmu reminded him that he noticed Qiuqiu and the others had already gone quite a distance.

He frowned and reminded him, "Chirp, why are you walking with the same steps?"

Chirp: "Huh?!"

Su Junyao & Black Cat: "..."

Being carried around all day, Chiu Chiu felt she was losing her ability to walk normally. But she was walking too slowly and causing delays, so in a fit of pique…

Su Junyao cried out in alarm, "Chiu Chiu, where are you going?!"

She's gone!

Chuchu burst into tears: "Ahhh!"

Who on earth built that ramp?!

Does the Heavenly Law of this world even have a heart?! Has it ever considered the fate of the short-legged, poor-sighted little koi fish?!

Perhaps because Qiuqiu is a bit too round, she rolls quite smoothly... and tumbles away.

Fortunately, she was resilient and wasn't injured. Lying on the ground, she looked at the pair of feet that appeared in front of her, somewhat afraid to lift her head.

It shouldn't be anything dirty, right?

Chiu Chiu slowly looked up, following the black boots upwards. The man's clothes were faded from washing, his hair was long, and his beard was haphazardly shaved. As Chiu Chiu looked at him, he was also sizing her up.

"Who are you?"

Qiuqiu grabbed the man's pants for leverage and got up, patted the dust off her bottom, raised her hand to cover the lower half of the man's face, and simply called out, "Dad!"

I've been dealing with some work-related matters for a while now, I'll try to update earlier tomorrow.
