Chapter 220 Ancient Literature (Twenty-three)

Several fish in Chu Yun's water tank gave birth. Duan Fuqing told Chu Yun the news early in the morning. He quickly got up and lay beside the water tank to watch.

"Wow... like a tadpole..."

The red mother fish had not stopped giving birth yet, and the little fish fell down one after another and swam around.

Chu Yun opened his eyes wide and tried to count how many fish there were. He would have to feed them well when he was alive again with so many fish.

Duan Fuqing watched the little fool counting fish with great interest, and he imagined the future.

Move out and build a mansion for Chu Yun. It would be best if it has a garden, a pond, a swing, and a bamboo forest. Make a study for the little idiot, hold him on your lap and practice calligraphy every day. The bed should be big and the chef should be the most famous, otherwise the little idiot will not be able to eat or sleep well.

Or...it's not impossible for him to learn how to cook.

"Duan Fuqing!"

Chu Yun called him anxiously and pulled his sleeve to shake it.

"Stop it! It's eating the little fish!"

Duan Fuqing was frightened back to his senses by this shout. It was not surprising that the big fish ate the small fish.

"Then let it eat. It won't eat anymore when it's full."

【Haha, youth has no price tag, my son melts in your mouth.】

Chu Yun: ...

Is this human language?

As their "head of the family", Chu Yun had to manage them. He fished out all the small fish and put them in another tank.

Poor thing, only less than ten were left after being eaten.

Chu Yun couldn't just lose his temper with the fish, so he blamed Duan Fuqing and 001.

"It's all your fault, you cold-hearted person. I will never forgive you, ever!"

001: ...

Duan Fuqing didn't expect Chu Yun to care so much about the unformed little thing that had just been born. He was a little happy.

He is a little kid, and Chu Yun must care about him more in her heart.

He leaned forward and pecked Chu Yun's face soothingly, it was soft and smooth:

"Don't be mad at me. I'll catch you a few more, better-looking ones."

001 was jealous. It already had a complete body, but still couldn't do what it wanted.

"Find them all! That little bitch can't get far. Contact the officials at the government office and seal off the exits of Zhouning County!"

The beautiful woman cursed loudly. There was a red mole between her eyebrows, and her face was wrinkled with anger.

"Mom, calm down. You're so powerful in Zhouning County, you're sure to find him, right? Just like you found me."

Shui Lian leaned against the pillar on the second floor, staring at the woman with interest, her eyes full of sarcasm.

It is really ironic that such a vicious person has the appearance of a Bodhisattva.

"Shui Lian, are you itching for trouble? It seems you haven't received enough customers, so you have time to make sarcastic remarks!"

Shui Lian almost wanted to vomit. After wasting a few years, his appearance had changed. In addition, he had a bad relationship with the old woman, so he always received customers who tortured people in various ways.

But he didn't want to die, and he hadn't escaped yet to see the outside world.

Shui Lian yawned and straightened his cloak. This was a gift from a young man, a silly boy who had just reached adulthood. Every time he came, his face was red and he wanted to redeem himself.

He didn't care. He said there were too many people who wanted to redeem themselves, so he just listened to them for fun.

To be honest, if it weren't for the generosity of this young man, I might have been beaten to death by the old woman.

"I'm tired, let's go to bed."

The young waiters in Lanyue Pavilion were trembling with fear, afraid that they would anger the old woman if they were not careful.

It’s no wonder the old lady went crazy. The top star who had been fed and cared for for several years just ran away with the money. Many customers had paid and were waiting in line, but now she’s gone.

Many people come here to make trouble every day. The old woman would smile apologetically and then turn around to curse angrily. Her glaring eyes looked particularly creepy, like an evil ghost.

There were some who had escaped in the past few years, but they were all caught. Lanyue Pavilion was guarded by many eunuchs, all middle-aged men with great strength, who patrolled daily. The old woman also had a good relationship with the county magistrate. Once the city gates were closed, not even a mosquito could escape.

The young men seemed to have seen what happened to Ning Ruoyuan after he was caught, and they all shuddered. They thought it was even worse than Shui Lian's...

"General Huo Xiao from the capital is passing through here. Where is your county magistrate? Open the door quickly!"

Huo Xiao suppressed his anger in the carriage. Sure enough, the person he saw on the street that day was Chu Yun. Why did he pretend not to know him?

He inquired from many sources and found out what Chu Yun was wearing on the day he was driven out by the steward's lover.

A young clerk selling clothes said that a young man with a fairy-like appearance had come to their store to sell clothes. When he took out the clothes and compared them, it was clearly Chu Yun!

But the guy also said that this young man is illiterate and can't understand what people say, so he might have something wrong with his brain.

Huo Xiao pondered, wondering if he had been stunned by the series of events. It was possible.

But his people, even fools, cannot be allowed to follow others!

Outside the carriage, the servants were still arguing with the guard at the door. He was already upset, so he just walked out.

"This is my general's token, issued by His Majesty. Do I need proof?"

Huo Xiao had a fierce look on his face, and when he saw the token, the guard was so scared that he fell to the ground.

"No... no need, open the door quickly and let General Huo leave the city!"

Huo Xiao returned to the carriage and looked at the weak, half-dead man in front of him.

"Thank you for your help, General. If there's anything I can do to repay you in the future, I will do my best..."

"No, when are you going down?"

Huo Xiao cursed his bad luck inwardly. He was unwilling to help others and was always flirting with other women. Chu Yun had a bad temper before, so he would definitely mind.

If the man hadn't fainted under the carriage, he would definitely not have cared.

Ning Ruoyuan smiled on the surface but cursed in her heart, what an ignorant man, who could remain indifferent even when meeting a weak and handsome man like him.

If he wasn't desperate and needed him, he wouldn't even bother to look at such a person.

Not one ten-thousandth as cute as Xiaoyun.

"Ahem... General Huo, don't worry. I'll get off the car as soon as I feel better. General Huo, are you going to the capital? It just so happens that my... husband is also in the capital."

Huo Xiao didn't want to pay attention to this man of unknown origin, but when he heard him say that he had traveled thousands of miles to find his husband, he thought of Chu Yun.

At that time, he almost died on the battlefield. Would Chu Yun be scared when he heard the news? Huo Xiao could forgive Chu Yun for the mistakes he made.

It was his fault. He didn't write a letter to Chu Yun right away and often ignored him, which led to Chu Yun being deceived by the manager out of despair and finally breaking down and becoming stupid.

Thinking that he was the culprit who harmed Chu Yun, Huo Xiao felt so uncomfortable that he could hardly breathe when he saw him sitting alone on the street that day, looking at the boring shadow puppet's back.

Ning Ruoyuan was very good at reading people's expressions. She didn't know what this man was thinking about. His eyes were red and he lowered his head, looking dejected.

He thought for a moment:

"Is General Huo married? Your Madam should be waiting for you in the capital."

The topic he brought up really hit the mark for Huo Xiao.

Huo Xiao was no longer as irritated and disgusted with him as before. He let out a breath as if he had been feeling depressed for a long time.

"He's married... My wife is in the capital. He's very happy, but he just doesn't remember me..."

After saying this, he murmured:

"It's okay if you don't remember... I did something that hurt him."

Ning Ruoyuan felt very happy. This arrogant guy needed to be taught a lesson.

He comforted me with the air of someone who had experienced it all.

"It's okay if you don't remember it. Look at it from another perspective. This is a chance for General Huo to start over."

This sentence made Huo Xiao feel a little better. This must be the case! All the previous unpleasantness disappeared. He would treat Chu Yun very well in the future and hold him in the palm of his hand!

"Are you going to the capital? I'll give you a ride."

Ning Ruoyuan thanked him and smiled, saying that this man was indeed simple-minded.
