Chapter 182
"Head, head, head is about to fall to the ground, wait a minute, wait a minute, put it down and let me rest for a while."
Shen Jiao was being lazy, and Yun Que didn't disturb her, catching fish on the side. Just when things were peaceful, voices suddenly came from not far away.
That doesn't sound...good at all.
The man traveling with him said, "No, President, this is too dangerous. We'll be discovered. If you can't lift it, just stay still. I can do it faster alone."
"What are you talking about? Are you the president or am I? He's a registered merchant of our Tianxia Chamber of Commerce. I already feel guilty for not being able to save him. If I can't even see him off to his grave, how can I have the face to be the president? If this gets out, wouldn't that be a slap in my face?"
The man spoke with confidence and righteousness.
But the person traveling with him said, "You said you couldn't save him? Doesn't that mean there's no way to save him at all?"
"Slap!"
The snap was quite crisp.
The president said, "What do you know? I was thinking about the greater good. The death of a subordinate is certainly worth it, but if I offend them and my trade routes are cut off, wouldn't I become a sinner for eternity? So I could only swallow my heartache and watch him being hanged...
But I won't forget him. When I return, I'll tell everyone he was a brave man who sacrificed his life to open up trade routes and was buried in a foreign land. We should always remember his contribution to the Chamber of Commerce—the silver he submitted every month, remember this painful and bloody lesson—don't be mean in a foreign land, and remember his name—what was it?"
"Huang Quanzhong."
"That's right, Huang Quanzhong, go with peace of mind. We will never forget you."
"President...I think you broke his body..."
"That... that's okay. It'll be easier to move. I'll take the lighter end, and you, you carry the heavier one. Let's find a quiet place to bury him quickly. Then we can go back quickly and don't let anyone notice anything's wrong."
"It would be hard for you to let Amber pretend to be you without being discovered."
"Why do you talk so much nonsense?!"
The president was anxious, but the one who was more anxious was not him, but a childish voice: "How dare you steal the mountain god's offerings? Don't you want to live?!"
Shen Jiao:?
Why are there kids meddling in other people's business everywhere?
Sound familiar?
The person who was lying peacefully suddenly sat up and looked forward. There was no lively fishing lark in the stream in front of him. It had already run away.
I'm afraid I'll become a dead sparrow soon.
Shen Jiao: ...So annoying!
If someone likes it, just let them take it. The mountain god didn't say anything, so why did she run over there?
Shen Jiao didn't care about her, she was really afraid of getting herself into trouble, after all, so many people saw her with this kid.
Let her take care of her... What can Shen Jiao do?
Just as I was hesitating, I heard the president shouting, "Oh no! Run!"
Shen Jiaoxin said: That's okay.
Then he put on his shoes and ran over. He saw two people running in front, each carrying half of the body, and a skylark chasing behind. They were both trying their best. The one carrying the lower half disappeared in the blink of an eye, and the one holding the upper body ran slower and slower, and fell down like a dog eating shit.
Skylark shouted, "Where are you running to, little thief?"
Then he pounced on it and tried to stuff the president's head into the fish basket.
No matter how pampered you are, you are still an adult. How can you not be defeated by a little girl?
Despite his head full of fish, he emerged victorious in the back-and-forth struggle, pushing Skylark aside and attempting to snatch up the half-body again and escape.
Skylark, quick-witted and swift-handed, hugged his feet tightly and turned back to call out, "Mother, come and help!"
Shen Jiao: ...If I say that her mother is not me, will anyone believe me?
Under Hao Youqian's horrified gaze, Shen Jiao, with his face covered, rushed forward and punched him.
The president fell to the ground with a bang.
Skylark clapped his hands happily: "Outsider, you are so awesome!"
"Shh! Just call me mother."
Shen Jiao didn't want him to know who he was, so he pulled down the president's pants and tied him up.
Shen Jiao even praised her: "These legs are quite white."
Yun Que squatted there and poked it gently: "Really? It's whiter than pig's, and as smooth as almond tofu."
Shen Jiao: ...
Although...but...
"Children are not allowed to touch!"
"Why? You touched him?" Yun Que said unhappily, "Several times, and you even slapped his butt."
"That's because I'm not a child."
"Isn't it okay for a child to touch it?"
"That's right, children's hands will get rotten if they touch things carelessly." Shen Jiao said nonsense seriously.
Yun Que said nonchalantly, "Then I won't be a child anymore. From today on, I'm Master Yun Que... No, no, no, it's better to be Master Saint!"
"You are not allowed to be a grown-up..."
Shen Jiao tried to explain things to her, but she could only hear sobbing sounds.
"You...you...you!" Hao Youqian said in grief, "A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated!"
He curled up his straight, white legs nervously.
Shen Jiao: "Don't even think about wearing clothes if you cry any more."
"Forget about your hair." Yun Que followed suit. Under Hao Youqian's incredulous gaze, he raised his chin towards Shen Jiao and gave her a look that seemed to say: Am I smart? Are you a good student?
If the skylark had a tail attached, it could now fly into the sky like a bamboo dragonfly.
This was the biggest thing she had ever done in her life.
She caught a thief who was stealing offerings from the mountain god.
Yun Que said happily, "We've caught him red-handed. Let's quickly send him to the Mountain God Temple. The big clan leaders will definitely praise us, and maybe even reward me with a divine servant."
What Yunque is obsessed with is wanting a divine servant.
Hao Youqian was even more frightened: "No! Just tell me what you want. I have nothing but money. As long as you let me go, I can get you anything you want."
"Who cares!" Yun Que said disdainfully, "You wicked man! You even stole the mountain god's offerings. If I let you go, the mountain god will definitely be mad at me. How can I still be a saint then?"
"Saint, Saintess? Oh, I remember you." Hao Youqian calmed down and looked at Yunque carefully. "Aren't you that kid? The one who hid behind the screen and eavesdropped on me talking to your clan leader that day, and had someone grab your clothes and throw you out?! They were even going to spank you, have you forgotten? Or was it me who begged for you?"
Yunque's face turned red all of a sudden.
Obviously she remembered, but now she completely denied it and kicked him: "You, you are talking nonsense! This Saint has never been thrown out!"
