Chapter 78 Can't Get Out

"Xixi, I will never tell anyone." Yuan Qingzhou hugged Ye Yuxi, "Go to sleep, I will find a way to get you out."

When Tiger Mother came in, Yuan Qingzhou did not wake Ye Yuxi up. He put Ye Yuxi on the bed, thanked Tiger Mother, and asked about what happened here.

"We encountered a wild beast and got separated. We don't know where we are..."

Yuan Qingzhou made up a reason.

Tiger Mother did not expose his lie. Ye Yuxi was a child, so it was not obvious. Yuan Qingzhou's dress was obviously different from the people here.

"There are three villages here, and the nearest border is the Monster Forest. The Monster Forest is full of monsters, and no one can get out."

Yuan Qingzhou was surprised: "Can't get out?"

"Well, I can't even get out, let alone you two kids." Tigress asked, "How did you get in?"

"Unexpected." Yuan Qingzhou's head hurt. Forget it. Go check it out tomorrow. "Thank you. Why can't outsiders enter the village?"

Tigress thought for a moment and said, "Because some people say that outsiders will bring disaster to the village."

"Aren't there two other villages? Why do you say Xixi and I are outsiders?" Yuan Qingzhou was puzzled.

Tiger Lady looked at Yuan Qingzhou as if he were a fool. "The people from the three villages are familiar with each other, and your clothes don't look like those of the people here."

She originally wanted to raise Ye Yuxi, but now it seems that she can't do that.

…

There was only one room. Hu Niang and Ye Yuxi slept on the bed, and Yuan Qingzhou slept on the floor. Yuan Qingzhou wanted to go out, but Hu Niang said, "If you don't want to die, go out."

In the middle of the night, Yuan Qingzhou suddenly opened his eyes and was awakened by the hurried and chaotic footsteps.

He stood up and wanted to check it out, but he heard Tigress's gentle scolding: "Don't move, the monster is coming."

Yuan Qingzhou did not move.

Suddenly, he heard footsteps stop at the door, and through the tiny crack in the door, he saw red eyes——

The red eyes stayed for a moment and then left.

After the footsteps had passed, Yuan Qingzhou asked with lingering fear: "Is it like this every night?"

"No, this time it's because you guys are here," Tigress said calmly.

Yuan Qingzhou now understood why the villagers did not allow them to stay in the village.

He felt a little guilty, and Tigress seemed to read his thoughts: "As long as you keep the door closed, nothing will happen. If you take the child out, the monster will tear you to pieces."

"Thank you." Yuan Qingzhou broke out in a cold sweat when he thought of the scene of him holding Ye Yuxi and being surrounded by monsters.

"Go to sleep. I'll find a safe place for you tomorrow."

Tiger Mother said that no matter how Yuan Qingzhou and Ye Yuxi came, they couldn't leave, so she could definitely support Ye Yuxi.

In three days, the ancestral hall will be open. As long as Ye Yuxi can get the protection of the ancestral hall, the monsters will not come to the village at night because of Ye Yuxi.

Ye Yuxi was awakened by Yuan Qingzhou.

She wanted to sleep a little longer, but she felt a chill and her little head instantly became clear.

"Zhouzhou——"

Yuan Qingzhou took a wet towel to wipe Ye Yuxi's face and hands, and corrected her: "You are not allowed to call me Zhou Zhou, and you are not allowed to call me brother Zhou Zhou. Call me brother."

He told Tiger Mother that he was Ye Qingzhou and Ye Yuxi was still Ye Yuxi.

He has taken Xiaotuanzi's surname, but he still hasn't been called brother.

Tiger Lady came in with two bowls of meat soup, glanced at Ye Yuxi curiously, and then said, "Let's eat."

Ye Yuxi took a sip of the soup from the bowl, and her face immediately lit up: "It tastes good."

"It's the meat of yesterday's black-haired rat," Tigress explained. "Eating it will help you gain strength."

"Gain strength?" Ye Yuxi didn't think there was anything wrong with eating black-haired rat meat, but Yuan Qingzhou felt a little uncomfortable.

That monster doesn't look good.

"Auntie, you are so powerful, is it because of Rourou?"

Tigress can kill a black-haired rat with just one punch, and Ye Yuxi also wants such power.

"Not all of them. There's also the body-building method my father left behind," Tiger Mother explained.

Ye Yuxi was a little disappointed. The junior brother said that the family's skills should not be passed on to outsiders.

Tiger Lady suddenly asked again, "Do you want to learn? At your age, it's time to learn."

"Is it okay?" Ye Yuxi's eyes lit up again, "But, that's your family's unique skill."

Tiger Lady suddenly smiled. The little girl was so sensible. She ruffled Ye Yuxi's hair and said, "Okay."

No man dared to marry her, and she looked down on those men. She would not have offspring, so there was nothing to regret about passing on the skills to Ye Yuxi.

Yuan Qingzhou did not interrupt, thinking that he would not find anything good in this barren land, so here he came.

He had a hunch that with Little Dumpling around, they would definitely be able to find a way out.

Before they finished their meal, the clan leader came to urge them to leave. The clan leader was not a cruel person. Seeing that Yuan Qingzhou was wearing thin clothes, he gave him a tattered jacket.

The two were led to an abandoned stone house. Tiger Mother left food and water for them, told them not to run around, and left.

"Xixi, where do you think we should go?" As soon as Tiger Mother left, Yuan Qingzhou told Ye Yuxi what he had asked yesterday and asked about Ye Yuxi's decision.

Ye Yuxi thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to the place we were at yesterday."

Yuan Qingzhou, wrapped in a tattered jacket and holding Ye Yuxi, first went to the place where he landed. This place was also in the wilderness, with only messy trees and stones.

The two of them searched for a long time but found no clues.

There was a pig-like monster that wanted to eat the two of them, and Xiao Ye ate it.

Yuan Qingzhou had seen Little Leaf in the secret realm and had always thought it was a decoration. But when he saw Little Leaf's ferocious appearance, he was completely shocked.

"Hey, this, this, Xixi, is this your pet?"

He had only heard of legends about plant spirit pets.

"No, we're partners." Ye Yuxi had no intention of hiding it from Yuan Qingzhou.

"Xixi, you can't let anyone see you. Got it? Even if you meet someone like me next time, you can't do it. Forget it, you won't meet a friend as good as me anymore."

Yuan Qingzhou was just joking, trying to ease his anxiety, but he didn't expect Ye Yuxi to nod seriously.

"You and Brother Mo are both fine."

Yuan Qingzhou paused for a moment, then nodded: "Xixi is also very good."

"Xixi, if I eat this, it can improve my strength." Xiao Ye suddenly spoke, scaring Yuan Qingzhou.

"Can speak? Can actually speak?" Yuan Qingzhou pointed at Xiao Ye, his voice choked.

Little Leaf waved its slender leaves and said unhappily, "What a fuss! I can't speak?"

"No, no." Yuan Qingzhou explained, "I was just too shocked. Sorry, I was rude."

I wanted to give him a few words of advice, but then I remembered that I didn't find anything unusual about Xiao Ye in the secret realm, so I swallowed the words.

Ye Yuxi touched Xiao Ye and said, "Then you should eat more."

The two went to the Monster Forest again, and except that Little Leaf was well fed, they didn't find anything unusual.

"Oh, how can I get out?" Ye Yuxi was almost worried to death.

"Xixi? Why are you here again?" Instead of finding any clues, they ran into Tiger Mother.
