"But this girl is really not afraid of strangers at all."
Aunt Tao raised her hand and poked the little guy's chubby cheek.
"What's the big deal..." The pockmarked man wiped the sweat from his face. "Didn't you see her last night, crawling very fast in the dim courtyard by herself? She wasn't afraid at all..."
"What are you doing standing here?!" The scarred man who followed him out of the city turned away with a serious expression and said, "Let's go!"
"It seems the city has discovered something. When I came out, I saw someone riding a horse to the city gate and ordering it to be sealed and strictly inspected."
"Ah!" they both exclaimed, "Hurry, hurry, hurry..."
"We'll be safe once we reach Juku Mountain."
The three of them walked quickly towards the forest.
Juku Mountain is the gathering place for bandits and robbers outside the capital.
It is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the imperial court has failed to capture it despite several attempts to encircle and suppress it.
As the name suggests, there are many caves in Juku Mountain, just like the burrows of groundhogs, with a complex nesting system.
In recent years, the bandits in Jukushan have been constantly changing their hiding places, just like a cunning rabbit with three burrows, always keeping the officers and soldiers who are fighting against the bandits running around.
They tried both water and fire attacks, but to no avail.
"Luckily, it was this little girl who was kidnapped. If it was that disabled young master, we would have been caught before we even left the city..."
"But such a lovely girl..." Aunt Tao felt sorry for her. "That man didn't say he wanted to kill her, did he?"
"Just focus on your own business and why do you care so much!" the scarred man retorted harshly.
"...I just want to ask, why are you so fierce..." Aunt Tao muttered a few words.
Rong Chaoxi leaned on Tao Gu's shoulder and looked at the towering city gate gradually moving away, his mouth grinning from head to back.
It’s really fun, really fun.
The people at home can't play, they are good to Chaoxi.
Qianluo can’t play, she’s gone for the time being.
The old man and the old woman should keep it for fun.
Juku Mountain must be very interesting!
"Is this kid probably stupid?" Looking at Rong Chaoxi's smile, the pockmarked man couldn't help but mutter.
Normally, a child who has been away from his family for so long would laugh like a fool?
Feeling the man's gaze, Rong Chaoxi smiled even more.
Six white teeth opened and closed as he walked, as if he was chewing something.
The pockmarked man felt a chill on his back and looked away.
How could he know that it is easy to invite gods but difficult to send them away?
Rong Chaoxi, who had been bored for a few days, found it even more difficult.
