Chapter 99: The Intentions of a Thief, But the Courage

It was late at night and everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

Xiao Qin was dozing on the bamboo bed, and it was a long time before she heard the old lady's long breathing.

I opened my eyes and saw a crescent moon hanging in the night sky outside the window.

Xiao Qin sat up and gently pushed Su He, but Su He was as motionless as a dead pig.

Xiao Qin pushed again with force.

"Well, what are you doing?" Su He groaned. She was sleeping soundly and was very unhappy to be disturbed.

"He'er! He'er!" Xiao Qin leaned close to Su He's ear and called softly.

Su He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at his mother blankly.

"Let's go!" Xiao Qin whispered.

"Where are we going?" Su He looked confused.

"You silly girl, have you forgotten?" Xiao Qin was so angry that she pinched Su He.

This damn girl said something ruthless, but she forgot it the moment she turned around.

"Ouch!" Su He cried out in pain, "Mother, be gentle!"

The mother and daughter opened the door quietly and went out.

"Hehehe..." The strange cry of a night owl came from the distance.

Su He was so frightened that she hugged Xiao Qin's arm and said, "Mother, I'm scared!"

Xiao Qin was caught off guard by her daughter's sudden hug, and was so frightened that she almost cried out.

"You silly girl! You scared me to death!" Xiao Qin twisted Su He's arm.

"Ouch!" Su He felt so much pain that tears were about to come out. "Mother, can't you be a little gentler?"

The mother and daughter left the yard and headed towards the woods.

"Hehehe..." There were a few more strange cries.

Su He tightly grasped Xiao Qin's arm, "Mother, do you really want to go in? How about during the day?"

The woods were pitch black, and the shadows were scary, like monsters with their mouths wide open to eat people.

"Idiot! How come you are just like your father? You have no ability and no courage!" Xiao Qin was so angry that she cursed.

I wanted to do it last night, but the old lady happened to be a light sleeper, and when I stood up, I woke her up.

Not only was she scolded, but she was also beaten with a stick, and was asked what she was doing by not sleeping in the middle of the night.

Xiao Qin had no choice but to lie and say she got up at night, and pretended to go out and come back.

Sure enough, the old lady was not asleep and was sitting there waiting!

When working during the day, the old lady would sit next to them to supervise. If they were slow or didn't put enough compost, they would be scolded.

You can't talk back, or you'll get beaten.

Xiao Qin hated the old lady so much! She was so old, why didn't she just die?

Cursing, Xiao Qin dragged Su He into the woods.

The mother and daughter came in with the crowd yesterday and had no idea which way was which. It was pitch dark and they were completely clueless.

"Mother, no, let's go back!"

Su He was a bad girl, but as a girl who had always stayed in the boudoir, she had never seen such a scene. She had the desire but not the courage to do it, and her calves were shaking with fear.

"Useless thing!" Xiao Qin cursed angrily.

He took out a small piece of fire starter from his arms. It was left over from cooking a few days ago. There was only a little bit left, and he couldn't bear to throw it away, so it came in handy.

He fumbled for some dead branches, lit them, and then made a torch.

With the torch, the mother and daughter plucked up their courage and walked deeper into the woods.

Not to mention the mother and daughter, even if Su Ying came, she might not be able to find the way.

Yesterday, Old Man Yang and a group of village elders led the way. They found a very secluded place where the beehives were not easily reached by wild animals.

The woods were entangled with vines and thorns, and the mother and daughter had to walk with one foot high and one foot low. Their clothes and skirts were torn, and their faces were scratched.

"Mom, did you take the wrong way?" After walking around for a long time, Su He still couldn't see the familiar scene.

"How would I know!" Xiao Qin was extremely tired.

It was dark and gloomy, and it was already difficult to walk, and she had to drag her daughter with her. If it wasn't for the need to give herself courage, Xiao Qin really wanted to get rid of Su He, this burden.

"Flutter!" A few birds were awakened by the fire and flew away fluttering.

"Oh my God!" Su He was more frightened than a startled bird. She screamed and grabbed Xiao Qin tightly.

He almost dropped the torch from Xiao Qin's hand.

"Mom, let's go back! I'm scared!" Su He's hair stood on end.

A chill rose from the soles of my feet, and I always felt that there were dangers everywhere, as if I was being stared at by a wild beast.

"You incompetent idiot! You were the one who said you wanted to destroy the beehive, and now you're acting like a coward! How could I, Qin Jiuniang, give birth to such a bunch of cowards and losers? If you want to leave, go by yourself!"

Xiao Qin cursed unwillingly.

He thought this girl had inherited his true skills, but he didn't expect that she was all show and no substance, and was only good at talking.

How could Su He have the courage to go out alone? Without a torch and without knowing the way?

"Mom, I'm scared!" Su He cried in fear, and the sense of urgent crisis became stronger and stronger.

"Cry, cry, cry! Crying is useless!" Xiao Qin pinched her hard, feeling annoyed.

"Mother...knock knock knock!" Su He suddenly looked behind Xiao Qin in horror, her pupils dilated, she was so frightened that she lost her voice, and only her teeth chattered.

"Calling for the soul! You..." Xiao Qin was angry and scolded her daughter.

Before he could finish his words, Su He's eyes rolled back and he fell to the ground with a thud.

"Whoosh!" A cool breeze blew behind him and the torch went out.

Xiao Qin turned her head and saw a big black cat face in front of her, staring at her with a pair of green eyes and baring its sharp teeth.

"Ah!" Xiao Qin felt fear rising to the top of her head. Her soul could not be restrained and rushed around in her body, trying to escape.

With a scream, everything went black before his eyes and his consciousness fell into chaos.

Xiao Hei was confused. He was fine, so why did these two four-legged animals fall asleep?

The spotted tiger jumped out, Atang jumped off its back, and squatted on the ground to study the mother and daughter.

He didn't know them, but like his sister, Atang recognized that they were two women.

I wonder what they are doing here in the middle of the night?

Many green eyes appeared all around, and a pack of wolves also came, sniffing and dragging the two of them with drooling eyes.

"Ah!" Atang shouted, and the wolves retreated in embarrassment.

Atang scratched his head and thought about it for a long time, but he still didn't know what to do.

These two people are not fun at all. Sister has food and can understand what she means.

Atang frowned and thought for a long time, but couldn't figure it out, so he gave it to his sister to play with!

Having made up his mind, Atang jumped onto Huahua's back and ordered Xiaohei and Huahua to pick up the mother and daughter and go find Su Ying.

Su Ying was sleeping soundly when she suddenly heard two thuds of something heavy falling to the ground.

I woke up with a start, only to see Atang's smiling face on the window, "Sister!"

The oxen tied in the corner of the yard mooed in fear.

"Atang!" Su Ying stood up and went out to comfort the oxen. "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, my friend!"

The oxen gradually calmed down from their panic, no longer sensed the danger, and stopped barking. Instead, they stared warily at the black panther and the spotted tiger.

Su Bucheng and others were also woken up. Seeing that it was Atang, they turned over and continued to sleep.

"Sister!" Atang hugged Su Ying happily.

Su Ying moved Atang's head. His hair was messy and covered with grass clippings and dead leaves. "Where did you go to play? You got so dirty?"

"Ah!" Atang pointed to the ground outside the yard.

Su Ying walked over and saw the mother and daughter lying on the ground. Their clothes were tattered, their hair was messy, and there were many scratches on their faces. "Where did you find them?"

"Ah!" Atang pointed to the woods.

Su Ying understood instantly that this person had bad intentions and was causing trouble in the middle of the night!

Xiao Hei and Hua Hua pulled Xiao Qinshi, and Xiao Qinshi woke up slowly.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a black panther and a big beast surrounding him. He let out a howl and fainted again.

There was a strong smell of urine in the air, and a puddle of water slowly spread out on the ground where Xiao Qin was lying.
