Chapter 62 Is it a human or a ghost?
It can only be said that the surprise came too suddenly. In the last second he was still thinking about how to get Xing'er back, and in the next second the opportunity came.
"Since this is Xing'er's wish, then I can only agree!"
Xia Xing'er regretted it the moment she finished speaking. She had thought Xuanyuan Yi would refuse, but unexpectedly he agreed!
"Your Highness, I was just joking. Do you believe me?"
Xuanyuan Yi showed an aggrieved expression: "Xing'er, do you despise me and look down on me?"
Xia Xing'er was now in a state of panic. Was this the cold-blooded, ruthless, and decisive Prince Zhennan? Had he been switched?
"Well...that prince, tonight, let's just pretend we haven't met each other!" After saying that, he turned around and disappeared into the night!
Leaving Xuanyuan Yi disheveled in the wind!
When Xia Xing'er returned to the inn, everyone was fast asleep, so she also took the time to sleep.
The next morning, everyone was awakened again by a sharp scream.
The reason was that the postmaster who got up early found a lot of bloodstains in and outside the woodshed at the back.
The people who were awakened were in a panic: "What happened again?"
"Tell me, what kind of thing could make someone scream like that?"
"It must be related to human life!"
When they heard that it was related to human life, those who were still sleeping woke up instantly and sat up.
But there are exceptions, such as Xia Xing'er and the three little ones in the Xia family. They were not woken up by the noise outside and were still sleeping soundly.
Liu Youran looked at them with an unconcealable smile in his eyes, and made a hushing gesture to the others.
He slowly stood up, put on his coat, and walked out the door.
It's still gray and a bit cold!
As soon as she stepped out of the room, she ran into Zhang San who was walking towards her with a very unhappy look on his face.
Liu Youran asked doubtfully, "Master Zhang, what happened?"
"Just now, a postmaster discovered a large amount of blood in the back. After the final headcount, we found that the post station was missing a postmaster, and one of our escorts was also missing. I guess Xingha is in great danger!"
Zhang San felt that this mission was particularly unlucky. It was only the fourth day and two officers had already been killed. One was blinded and the other disappeared without a trace.
The more he thought about it, the heavier his expression became. It seemed that when he returned this time, he would have to find a temple to worship!
Liu Youran was also wondering whether it was done by one of her family members, but she quickly rejected the idea because they slept together last night.
"The bloodstains in the woodshed might not be theirs. They might have gone out to do something and came back after they were done!"
"But the appearance of two large pools of blood out of nowhere is quite scary. Fortunately, the woodshed is far away from the backyard."
After saying that, he patted his chest in fear!
Zhang San did not doubt the Xia family, but thinking that these two people had no grudges against them and no enmity between them, he filtered them out.
"Madam Xia, I'm going back to my room first. You should go back as well!"
Seeing Zhang San go back to the house, Liu Youran also turned around and went back to the house!
She thought since she was already up, she might as well make breakfast for the children.
Take out about ten eggs from the basket and make an egg custard for each person!
Then he took out flour, vegetables, and pork belly to make a dumpling soup.
Except for Xia Xing'er and the three little ones, everyone else in the Xia family had already gotten up. Seeing Liu Youran busying around, they also started to help.
The aroma of egg custard wafting through the yard aroused the appetite of many people.
Xia Chengwen was whipped yesterday and had been farting all day, so now his entire anus hurts.
Now my taste buds are filled with the aroma of egg custard, and I say to my mother: "Mom, I want to eat steamed egg too!"
When people around him heard that he was still acting like a spoiled child to his mother at such an old age, they got goose bumps all over their bodies.
Who could have imagined that an old man who was almost thirty years old would act like a spoiled child in front of his fifty-year-old mother?
But Mrs. Hu thought it was normal and said with a doting look: "Mom will make it right away. I bought some food at the post station, and it includes eggs!"
Hu actually wanted to order her daughter-in-law Wang to do it, but seeing her holding Xia Qingping and not even giving her a look, she felt guilty, so she gave up the idea and got up to get food.
But when you go to the place where you keep your ingredients, is it empty?
Where is the food she bought?
She collapsed on the ground, feeling hopeless!
When Xia Chengwen saw his mother like this, he suddenly felt a bad feeling in his heart.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?"
He hoped that he was really overthinking it, and his mother was just tired and was sitting down to rest.
Mrs. Hu came back to her senses and said weakly: "Son, it's gone, all gone, all our food and dry provisions are gone..."
Mrs. Hu slapped the ground with her hands and cried, "It's gone! Who the hell stole our food? They're not even worried about giving birth to a child without an anus..."
Xia Chengwen asked again in disbelief: "Mom, think about it again, did you put it in the wrong place, or are you joking with your son again? This joke is not funny at all!"
"It's gone, all gone. It must have been stolen by Xia Chengsheng and his gang!"
Hu suddenly jumped up and rushed towards Liu Youran, pointing a finger at her and saying, "Liu, is it you? Did your family steal our dry food? Return it to us now."
Liu Youran didn't give her a good look: "Your food is missing, and you say we stole it. Where's the evidence? Who saw it? Do we need your food? You really don't know what you're talking about!"
Mrs. Hu said angrily, "Who else but you? It must be you."
Liu Youran rolled her eyes in disdain and said, "Did you eat too much shit yesterday? If you haven't eaten enough, you're still eating today. Your mouth is full of shit. If you don't feel ashamed, I feel ashamed for you!"
How could she refute this? Her son had been farting all day yesterday and she had been smelling it all the way. Now that Liu Youran reminded her of this, she felt as if her entire nasal cavity was filled with that smell.
"It must be you. We don't have any grudges against anyone else, except you."
Liu Youran was speechless. "I told you we didn't have one. If you don't believe me, I can't help you. You can think about it all you want!"
Mrs. Hu wanted to argue a few more words, but seeing that Liu Youran had turned around and continued cooking, it seemed like she didn't want to pay any attention to her.
She was now feeling very uncomfortable with her breath being stuck in her chest, unable to either go up or down.
Wang felt indescribably happy when she saw her mother-in-law being humiliated by Liu Youran.
If it were in the past, she would definitely take out the money she had on her to exchange for food so that her family could have a good meal.
After what happened last time, she really saw through the mother and son and knew they were unreliable. She had to make more plans for the future of herself and her son.
Otherwise, by the time these black-hearted mother and son have eaten you up to the point where nothing is left, it will be too late.
Seeing that no one around stood up to speak for her, Mrs. Hu could only go back embarrassedly.
Liu Youran prepared the meal and asked her two daughters-in-law to wake Xia Xing'er and the three little ones to get up, wash up and eat.
At this moment, the minor official who had stayed at the previous clinic to see Liu Dameng came hurriedly.
Zhang San was also surprised when he saw him: "Has the capital sent someone to take Liu Dameng back so quickly?"
The officer said with lingering fear, "Boss, Liu Dameng was killed by a sword last night."
Fortunately, he did not sleep in the same room with Liu Dameng last night, otherwise he would have lost his life.
Upon hearing the news, Zhang San and Wang Xiaoer both looked up at where the Xia family was.
Yesterday morning, Liu Dameng had an argument with the Xia family and was killed by a sword in the evening. If he said it had nothing to do with the Xia family, they would not believe it even if you beat them to death.
But did anyone go out last night? How did they do it? Was there someone in the dark?
No matter who killed Liu Dameng, they knew very well that they could not afford to offend the Xia family and could only make friends with them.
"Liu Dameng has offended many people, and there are too many people who want to kill him. You should just ignore them for now and return to the team!" Zhang San sent the small official away to report the news.
Wang Xiaoer thought for a moment and said, "I went out to look for someone and came back without finding him. We can't stay here for too long. We need to hurry on."
Zhang San stroked the scar on his right hand and said slowly, "You said that Li Si was silenced."
The tall and thin officer was called Li Si.
"That's probably the case. I saw him secretly observing Xuanyuan Yi a few days ago, and he was even holding a notebook and writing something down!"
"You mean he was discovered by that person..."
Xuanyuan Yi, who was somewhere, didn't know that he had been blamed for something.
Zhang San frowned and said leisurely, "Who else in our team is the person mentioned above?"
Wang Xiaoer said a little guilty: "I don't know!" She didn't dare to tell her best friend, and in fact, he didn't either!
The food Xia Xing'er gave to the little donkey was all produced in the space, which kept the little donkey full of energy.
The Xia family moved all the things onto the donkey cart. Everyone took cover and put away their space rings, making the entire carriage much more spacious.
Except for Xia Chengsheng who was driving the carriage, all the other men from the Xia family followed behind.
Each of them carried a backpack and collected firewood. They had spiritual spring water that Xia Xing'er had filled with it. When they were thirsty or tired, they could drink a sip to relieve their fatigue and thirst.
Xia Xing'er closed her eyes and rested in the carriage. Her consciousness had entered the portable space and continued to practice the Soul Tempering Technique. She had vaguely touched the threshold of the second level, but was always just a little bit short.
The exile team hurried for two days before they arrived in Qingyang County.
In order to hurry on their way, they took the official road. Even when they arrived in Qingyang County, they were not allowed to enter the city as exiles.
It was noon, and although the sun was shining brightly, it didn't feel hot.
There was a slight breeze and it was a little cold.
Even at the city gate they couldn't stay for long, so Zhang San could only rest in the woods five miles opposite.
They were going into the city to buy supplies and wanted to establish good relationships with the Xia family, so they went straight to where Xia Chengsheng and the others were resting.
"Master Xia, we are going into the city to buy supplies. Is there anything you need me to help you buy?"
As soon as Xia Xing'er heard that they had to go into the city to buy supplies, her sleepiness disappeared.
She was still thinking about how to get the food out of the space, and now the opportunity has come to her, right?
Although they smuggled things out of the space every time, they didn't dare to take too much for fear of arousing suspicion.
Otherwise, others would see that they eat well every meal and there is nothing missing in the car.
"Dad, I want to go shopping with Master Zhang and the others!"
Xia Chengsheng originally wanted to ask Zhang San and others to bring back some things, but now his daughter is going, and he knows that his daughter wants to take out the things in the space openly.
"Master Zhang, my daughter Xing'er wants to go with you to buy supplies. Can you please make it easier for me?"
"Don't worry, this child is very well behaved and will definitely not cause any trouble for you!"
Zhang San raised his eyes and glanced at the "very well-behaved" Xia Xing'er. She was staring at him coldly, and her eyes seemed to tell him: If you dare not agree, just try it.
Well, he was threatened.
"No problem, you guys discuss what you need to buy, and we'll be leaving soon!"
Xia Chengsheng said with a smile: "Thank you, Master Zhang!"
As soon as Zhang San left, the Xia family gathered together!
Xia Qingyun said with a worried look on his face, "Dad, how could you agree to let Xing'er go into the city alone with those officials to do the shopping? What if they have bad intentions? As the eldest brother, I have to go alone."
Xia Qingfeng also agreed with her expression: "Big brother, what you said is exactly what I wanted to say. We have several men here, how can we let a woman like me go with those stinky men?"
Xia Qingyu said bluntly: "Dad, I'll go with my little sister, so I can have someone to look after me!"
Xia Chengsheng also felt that he had been careless, and immediately decided to let his third son go with him.
He thought that one more officer would not refuse.
Liu Youran took out a few hundred-liang silver notes and stuffed them directly into Xia Xing'er's hands: "Take it. If you like anything in the city, buy it."
Zhuge Pei and Bai Wan'er did the same thing: "Little sister, take it and buy what you like. Don't save money, we have money."
The three little ones looked at her eagerly and said, "Aunt, we don't have any money to give you, but remember to buy us some delicious food when you come back!"
"I want roast chicken!"
"I want to eat wine and grain balls!"
"I want to eat osmanthus cake!"
………
Xia Xing'er looked at the banknotes in her hand and felt warm in her heart. She did not refuse and put them all away.
Xia Qingyu waited for a long time, but his mother didn't show up. His sisters-in-law stuffed him with banknotes, which made him feel upset. They agreed to treat everyone equally. Am I still your most beloved son/brother-in-law?
Although he himself has banknotes, the ones given by his family are more delicious!
Liu Youran seemed to finally remember this son: "Third brother, you must protect your sister."
…
Xia Xing'er looked at her third brother who looked abandoned, and took out the smallest denomination of fifty taels from her banknotes and stuffed it into his hand.
"Third brother, don't say that your sister doesn't love you. Take it. You can buy it yourself if you want it later."
Xia Qingyu looked at the freshly minted fifty-liang silver note in his hand, and his cold heart warmed up again. He happily put it away and said, "This is a gift from his sister. It's unique. My father and two brothers don't have it."
Xia Xing'er looked at the others and asked, "Dad, Mom, Brother, Sister-in-law, if you need anything, tell me and I'll bring it back for you."
Zhuge Pei and Bai Wan'er pulled her aside and said in a low voice, "Little sister, can you buy us some menstrual belts when you come back? We forgot about this when we were getting ready."
"You can buy the rest as you see fit."
Xia Xing'er wrote down what needed to be bought and said to everyone, "Dad, everyone should rest now. Tell the three little ones not to run around. If they can't, teach them the formulas of the internal energy skills and let them memorize them for practice later. Be sure to pay attention to safety. No one in this team knows whether they are human or ghost."
