"?" Lin Wanyue was a little puzzled.

Yu Zhaodi, the older sister of the Yu family, does not usually play with them.

She had to busy herself with washing clothes, picking wild vegetables, and sometimes her grandmother would take her to work in the fields.

However, children have a natural trust in older children and think that the little princess should have a head full of beautiful hairpins, just like in the play.

Seeing Lin Wanyue's somewhat dazed expression, Yu Zhaodi smiled sweetly and said, "I know where the most beautiful flowers are! I'll take you there to pick them and make you a hairpin, okay?"

"Hmm..." Lin Wanyue felt a little tired after fighting alongside her brothers.

"Okay." Hearing Miss Yu Zhaodi say there were pretty flowers, she nodded and obediently took Miss Yu's hand and followed her to the outside of the village.

Perhaps due to the rain these past few days, some wildflowers have actually grown quite lush among the weeds, and some of them are even brightly colored.

"Sister, these flowers are so pretty." Lin Wanyue tried to break free from her hand and went over to pick a few small flowers to put in her hair.

Even though she's turned into a three-year-old kid, she's still quite vain!

However, Yu Zhaodi looked flustered, her palms trembling with nervousness as she tightly gripped Lin Wanyue's hand.

If she fails to take Lin Wanyue away and her grandmother finds out, she will definitely beat her to death.

"Miss? Why aren't you letting go?" Lin Wanyue realized something was wrong and tried to forcefully pull her hand away.

"Um..." Yu Zhaodi quickly put on a flattering smile: "The flowers here aren't very pretty. Let's walk a little further ahead, the flowers over there are much prettier."

Lin Wanyue looked in the direction her finger was pointing, but there were no flowers there.

The tree branches were clearly lush, and if we went any further out, we would probably be outside the village.

"I don't want to leave!" Lin Wanyue puffed out her cheeks and stared intently at Yu Zhaodi.

Yu Zhaodi's behavior definitely indicates that she has something to hide.

She's not a real three-year-old child, how could she possibly be fooled?

"Then, how about I carry you? Let's go up ahead, and there will be lots of pretty flowers and delicious food." Yu Zhaodi's eyes were full of eagerness, and her stomach rumbled as she talked about the delicious food.

The little pink butterfly, following beside Lin Wanyue, was already chuckling: "This little girl is really too naive. If there were really something delicious, would she be this hungry?"

Lin Wanyue seemed not to hear the little pink butterfly's words. She tilted her head, thought for a moment, and obediently nodded, "Howl!"

Yu Zhaodi felt a glimmer of hope; as long as she could successfully deliver Lin Wanyue to Zhang Cuihong, she would avoid being beaten.

She quickly squatted down in front of Lin Wanyue, trying to walk past her with her back turned.

But Lin Wanyue took advantage of her letting go of her hand and immediately turned and ran away.

Yu Zhaodi then realized that she had been deceived.

Zhang Cuihong hid behind a tree outside the village and watched. When she saw that useless Yu Zhaodi had actually lost the fat meat that was right in her hands, she was instantly furious.

"You useless thing!" She rushed out and slapped Yu Zhaodi across the face twice. "You can't even handle such a small thing! You can't even take care of a three-year-old. You've been eating my food for so many years for nothing. I'd rather feed you to a dog than feed you."

"Why are you talking so much nonsense! Hurry up and bring them back!" Yu Dong was afraid that his wife was more of a hindrance than a help, so he had come along today, even neglecting his work in the fields.

Yu Dong cursed and hurriedly ran after the person.

He was an adult after all, and his running speed was much faster than Lin Wanyue's short legs. He picked Lin Wanyue up in just a few steps.

"Little girl, don't shout. Grandpa is going to take you to the city to buy you delicious food and candy so you can have a good life." Yu Dong picked up Lin Wanyue, his heart burning with joy, feeling that his good days were just around the corner.

"Call Laifu!" Lin Wanyue shouted to the little pink butterfly.

The little pink butterfly knew it was involved, and it vanished in a flash.

"Little girl, who are you talking to?" Yu Dong had witnessed Lin Wanyue dealing with the female ghost that day, and he was a little scared.

Could it be that this little girl has found another ghost?

"Hmph, I'm not going to talk to you in detail anyway," Lin Wanyue said.

She felt like she was about to throw up. Before, when her grandma and mother held her, she was always smelling sweet and soft.

But this old man was covered in sweat and stench, sour and foul, it was disgusting.

Zhang Cuihong untied a handkerchief from her waist and said irritably, "Sharp-tongued! Quickly gag her."

"yue..." As the dirty and smelly thing was about to be stuffed into her mouth, Lin Wanyue gagged and quickly covered her mouth tightly with her hand. She didn't dare to say a word and shook her head desperately.

But Yu Dong and Zhang Cuihong, the couple, didn't care what she thought. Zhang Cuihong reached out to pull her hand away.

Lin Wanyue was small and naturally weak, so how could she be a match for Zhang Cuihong, a middle-aged woman?

The nauseating smell almost brought tears to my eyes.

Fortunately, Laifu finally received the news and rushed over.

He immediately stuck to Zhang Cuihong's back as soon as he came over.

An extremely dense and pure black mist enveloped Zhang Cuihong.

Zhang Cuihong couldn't see, but she felt a sudden cramp in her leg after taking only two steps. She was holding Lin Wanyue with one hand and a towel in the other when she fell headfirst to the ground, her mouth being cut open by a pebble on the ground.

Blood was flowing freely.

"What's wrong?" Yu Dong frowned. "What's wrong with you? You can't even handle this little thing."
