Chapter 74 Chirping Points the Way

Who would have thought that the person whose fate was changed was a chubby, dry rice ball?

Lord Jiang frowned, thinking the brothers were joking, "My nephews, this joke is not funny."

Let's get down to business!

The doting father Su Junyao refused to listen and picked up Qiuqiu, who was completely focused on the porridge, saying, "I don't agree with what Lord Jiang said. My Qiuqiu is the best!"

"So what if she's young? Small people can accomplish great things! Lord Jiang, do you look down on my daughter?"

The little kitten raised its head and glared at Lord Jiang with unusual seriousness: [Yes, do you look down on me?!]

Sir Jiang was stared at by the ferocious father and daughter at the same time. It seemed that if he just shook his head, he would never be able to leave the Wenyang Marquis Mansion with his head held high.

Still desperate to find their son, Lord Jiang and his wife, succumbing to his tyranny, waved their hands and forced a smile: "We didn't mean that, it's just..."

"But there's still no news of my Yuming. Your Highness, Madam, my husband and I are very worried." Madam Jiang began to wipe away tears as she spoke. "Yuming has been unlucky since he was little. What if he encountered a wolf while he was gone all night? There are dogs in the city, and nocturnal cats too. He could easily knock him unconscious with a couple of claws! My son!"

If it were someone else, it might not be a big deal, but if it were Jiang Yuming, what Mrs. Jiang said would really be possible.

Su Junyao called Chen He over and said, "Take Lord Jiang to look for the Marquis and ask if we can borrow the palace soldiers to go out with us in the search."

Marquis Wenyang has thirty palace soldiers bestowed by His Majesty. They are all retired warriors from the battlefield who can defeat a hundred enemies at once. It is not difficult to find someone.

Su Jingwen and the others were also going to look for someone, but before they could set off, Xue Zheng arrived with his men: "Jiang Yuming is missing. I'll go with you to look for him."

Lord Jiang became more and more embarrassed. Although the boy was not yet mature, he still had a sincere heart. Only they had too many impurities.

"Thank you all for what happened today. After things at home are resolved, I will definitely come to your homes to thank you one by one."

Several people set off separately, and Su Jingwen and the others went to look for Jiang Yuming in places he liked to go.

After Jiujiu finished eating the porridge, she looked up and found that her brothers were gone.

[Huh?]

There is also a second brother shaking his head in the corner!

Sigh, I want to go out and find Brother Yuming, but my second brother looks like he'll only hold me back.

Su Yunyi: I really want to know what kind of chaotic scene it would be if everyone knew that she could hear her inner voice one day.

But now...

【Hey, it's taking off?】

Now that Qiuqiu is wearing less clothing, she no longer looks like a round ball. She's not afraid when Su Yunyi grabs her clothes and moves her limbs freely.

[My second brother is so childish. Everyone else is helping to find people, and he's asking Qiuqiu to play with him. I'm so busy too!]

Su Yunyi really couldn't figure out what a little brat who couldn't even crawl could be busy with.

You want to go out and find someone, right? Let’s go now!

Su Yunyi quickly ran away with the cub, "Jiujiu wants to help too, right?"

【right! 】

"Judging from Jiujiu's expression, she seems to agree. Then, second brother, take Jiujiu to find Jiang Yuming. If you can't find Jiujiu, don't come back!"

Jiujiu: I feel a chill on the back of my neck. Did my second brother set a trap for me?

Su Yunyi only gave his mother one word before taking Qiuqiu out.

All he could say was that Jiang Yuming was indeed quite capable, and he didn't know where he had hidden himself. The city was full of servants looking for him with his portrait.

"Chiu Chiu, where are we going now?"

Full and satisfied, Chiu Chiu basked in the sun, feeling languid. She pointed her little hand towards the outside of town: "Let's go!"

"Outside the city?"

According to Lord Jiang, Jiang Yuming ran away from home after nightfall yesterday. The city gates were already closed then, so how did he get out? And if he left during the day, how did Qiuqiu know?

They really had nowhere to go, and since they were just wandering around aimlessly, they figured they might as well go somewhere.

"Come on, your second brother will take you for a walk outside the city."

Half an hour later...

Chirp was very sturdy, and Su Yunyi was very tired.

"Jiujiu, big brother knows you can climb. Do you see that tree in front?" Su Yunyi pointed at a ginkgo tree in the distance that would have been invisible if Jiujiu hadn't looked hard. "Climb over there and big brother will carry you."

[Impossible, absolutely impossible!]

Is my second brother stupid? If he climbs over to her, her corrugated roof will be worn out.

[The Devilish Second Brother is on the run!]

Su Yunyi discussed with Jiujiu in a gentle tone: "But you're a little fat, I can't hold you anymore."

[Fat?! ...

Her sweet, childlike voice soared to its highest note: "He's so big, and I'm so tiny! Who's fatter, me or him?!"

[My pride was hurt; if you don't carry me, I'll become withdrawn.]

As if to confirm her own words, Qiuqiu rested her little head against Su Yunyi's neck, [Ah, I'm so depressed!]

Su Yunyi had no choice but to hold her and walk slowly. It was really hard for him, a weak scholar, to do such physical work.

Cut the porridge in half at night!

Jiujiu was unaware that her food supply was threatened, and she looked around at the unfamiliar scenery with great interest. She followed her instincts and felt that Jiang Yuming should be nearby.

After just a short distance, Su Yunyi had a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. Looking at the refreshed Jiujiu in his arms, he really wanted to become autistic this time.

"Chirp chirp, I really can't walk anymore, let's rest for a while."

Su Yunyi didn't want to walk another step, so he took Qiuqiu and rested under the ginkgo tree that had just been pointed out. Only after he had caught his breath did he seriously consider a question—did Qiuqiu actually know the place?

Or was she just pointing randomly?

Jiujiu, who was lying in her second brother's arms, felt a chill on her neck and lifted her second brother's arm to hug herself.

A beast's instinct tells me there's danger here!

Just as Su Yunyi's trust in Qiuqiu was teetering on the brink of zero, a glimmer of hope finally appeared.

Su Yunyi followed Jiujiu's instructions until Jiujiu led him to the foot of a deserted mountain, where he panicked.

"Chirp, we seem to be lost."

The biggest mistake he made in his life was trusting his sister too much!

【When you reach the mountain, there will always be a way. 】

There were originally no roads in the world, but as you walk more, roads appear. So how can you say you're lost?

Although every step her second brother took was exactly as she had imagined, she was determined not to admit that she was wrong.

However, she did sense something calling her here.

It should be here...

Su Yunyi refused to go any further. It was out in the wilderness, and if a wolf took them away, no one would know.

"Stop looking, go home!"

Chiu Chiu was unwilling and twisted her head to look behind her. Her stubbornness had its advantages; it actually allowed her to spot a clue.

Chiu Chiu squinted at the strip of cloth hooked on a tree branch not far away, and patted her second brother's shoulder to make him look over.

Su Yunyi finally took off the piece of cloth after many twists and turns, and he touched the texture.

"This is fine Shu brocade, not something that ordinary people can afford!"

"Let's go back and find them!"

Chirp: [? ? ?]

No, I brought you here, and you told me you were going to call someone?

Can't you go up by yourself?
