Chapter 24 Benefactor Becomes Master
Huo Laoer was shocked and felt that what his mother said was right. This Du Jia Dalang was really not an ordinary person, but a ruthless person.
The kick I gave him just now almost killed him with pain, but he actually said he was holding back? He didn't use his full strength? If he had used his full strength, would he have vomited blood and died on the spot?
He looks young, how come he is so strong?
No wonder the captain of the village protection team said he was a god, and it turned out to be true. From now on, I'd better stay away from this family. The meat is delicious, but life is more precious.
If the life is gone, no matter how delicious the meat is, it is useless. The dead cannot eat meat, they can only smell the scent.
Huo Si'en arrived, Huo Laoer apologized, and left with the village protection team, and the Du family returned to peace.
Aunt Hua and her seventh sister still took on the task of night duty. Du Wanwan rewarded them with a piece of millet leaf, and the mother and daughter ate it with relish.
After this incident, Du Wanwan knew that no one from Huojia Village would dare to cause trouble to them again. She told her parents and brothers to have a good rest and not to worry, as Aunt Hua and her seventh sister would help them keep watch.
Du Jiang and Yao Meixian also went to sleep peacefully. They had walked all day and it was really tiring. If they didn't get enough rest, they would suffer even more tomorrow.
The next morning, everyone started their journey, walking aimlessly towards the official road.
They walked for five or six days, and all along the way they were safe. The wolves no longer brought them prey, and the Du family's food was no longer envied by others.
There was some rabbit meat drying on Yu Hanyan's carriage, but she didn't dare eat it all in one go. She would save the meat when she had milk, and stew it for nourishment when her milk was no longer enough.
When you are away from home, you have to be careful with your spending.
Although it was hard work, I didn't seem so worried because I had my children and a capable sister by my side.
If you relax your mind, you will naturally feel happy and healthy. Yu Hanyan's health is much better than before giving birth.
As the sun set in the evening, the patriarch ordered everyone to find a place to rest.
Du Wanwan and Yu Hanyan were still at the end of Huojia Village. As soon as Seventh Sister and Aunt Hua stopped, they flew to the mountains on both sides of the official road to see if there were any Qizi troops.
The benefactor saved their lives, so they must repay her and accompany her until she is settled before leaving.
This was discussed by Aunt Hua and Seventh Sister.
Our benefactor has raised them for so long, so we should repay him when the time comes and do what we can.
After looking around and not seeing any fish, Aunt Hua and Seventh Sister flew back one after another, rested on Du Wanwan's shoulders, and told her that the environment was safe.
Du Wanwan was lying in a pile of weeds, crossing her legs and shaking constantly, with a piece of straw in her mouth, her hands behind her head, her eyes closed, and she looked very comfortable.
In her previous life, she was used to being with those male soldiers and learned their habits. With her behavior, no one would know she was a girl even if they beat her to death.
Look at the girls in Huojia Village, they all smile without showing their teeth, speak softly, and walk silently. They are not as carefree as her. She doesn't look delicate like a girl, she is definitely a rough man.
Ever since her grandfather said that he would betroth her to Du Dalang, Huo Qingxiang has been observing Du Wanwan intentionally or unintentionally. She saw that she didn't know how to sit or stand properly, and acted like a country bumpkin, and the more she watched her, the more she despised her.
"Humph! I despise a peddler like him who doesn't know etiquette."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Qi heard it and flew back to tell Du Wanwan.
Aunt Hua snorted coldly and ordered Xiao Qi: "Find a few big-headed ants and throw them on her bed at night."
Du Wanwan immediately spat out the straw in her mouth, grabbed Aunt Hua from her shoulders, and opened her eyes: "Aunt Hua! Can we not bother with the little girl? Can't we just have a good sleep at night? It's really boring to bring bad luck to that little girl. Can we still sleep if she's howling like a ghost?"
Aunt Hua was not convinced: "She looked down on her benefactor, so she should be punished."
Du Wanwan let go of Aunt Hua and let it stand on her shaking knees. In order to maintain her balance, Aunt Hua had to spread her wings and sway back and forth with her benefactor's legs.
Xiaoqi thought it was fun and jumped up on her own initiative. The mother and daughter swayed rhythmically, one in front and one behind.
"I'm not money, why would she like me?" Du Wanwan disagreed, "Besides, if she really likes me, it will be a big trouble. Xiaoqi! Don't go looking for the big-headed ant! Let's have a good rest tonight, otherwise it will be noisy."
Xiao Qi lost his balance and fell off her benefactor's lap. He gasped and replied, "Okay! I won't look for the big-headed ant."
Aunt Hua also fell down and flew to Du Wanwan's shoulder. She looked back at Huo Qingxiang not far away and said, "I heard that she likes the Juren master."
Du Wanwan picked a piece of grass and stuffed it into her mouth, chewing it intermittently. Suddenly, she became interested: "Of course! You know all this? Aunt Hua! Is there anything else in Huojia Village that you don't know?"
After thinking for a while with her head tilted, Aunt Hua replied, "I know everything I need to know. I even know that Old Lady Wang farted eleven times a day."
“Haha!” Du Wanwan burst into laughter. She felt that Aunt Hua was so cute. It seemed very fun to have it accompany her on the road to escape famine. “Aunt Hua! Why do you always stare at Old Lady Wang? And even count how many farts she farts in a day? You have such a bad taste, don’t you? Haha!”
Seeing his master laughing so happily, Xiao Qi racked his brains and said, "I also know that the second elder of the Huo family secretly ate snacks and was caught by his daughter-in-law, who scolded him harshly for being disrespectful."
Du Wanwan laughed again, put down her shaking legs, and looked at Aunt Hua and Xiao Qi: "I think you two shouldn't leave. Why don't you just stay with me and help me get the news?"
"Okay, okay!"
“Okay, okay!”
Aunt Hua and Xiao Qi cheered. Aunt Hua said, "Almost all of our crows died. Only mother and daughter are left. If we hadn't met our master, we would have starved to death."
Aunt Hua was older after all, and when she heard that she would have to follow Du Wanwan from now on, she immediately changed the word "benefactor" to "master".
Xiao Qi thought of the great battle between the crows and the python, and he shrank his head, his body trembling slightly.
Du Wanwan knew she was afraid, so she reached out and grabbed it, placed it in her palm, and gently held it: "Xiao Qi! Follow me from now on, don't be afraid of anything. If you meet an enemy, fight if you can beat them, run away if you can't. Come back and ask me for help, and I will help you vent your anger."
Xiao Qi was so happy that he rubbed Du Wanwan's thumb with his little head: "Master! I know. Since I drank the water you gave me, I seem to have become much smarter."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yaya in the space immediately sent out two small bottles of water. When Xiaoqi saw it, he was very happy and lowered his head to drink.
Du Wanwan looked at the two small glass bottles of water in her hands in confusion. She felt that Yaya's ability seemed to be even greater than in her previous life. She took the initiative to take things out without her instructions.
Aunt Hua also came over to drink water: "Master! This water is very special. After we drink it, our senses become sharper and we can hear sounds from farther away."
Du Wanwan thought, this is water from a spiritual spring, so it can cure diseases and strengthen the body if you are not sick. Drinking more will definitely have only benefits, not harm.
