Chapter 276: Diverting the trouble
In the past, Aunt Xu only had a vague understanding of the affairs of Western Xia. Ever since she entered the territory of Western Xia, she has been asking about the situation in Western Xia. Among them, the one she heard the most about was the Black Mountain Underground Palace.
The existence of this Black Mountain Underground Palace was almost worshipped by the people of Western Xia.
The people of Western Xia submit to the King of Western Xia, but they believe in the Black Mountain Underground Palace. In particular, the prophecy of the national teacher has cast a veil of mystery over the Black Mountain Underground Palace. The Black Mountain Underground Palace is a powerful and mysterious symbol.
Aunt Xu was not afraid of the Black Mountain Underground Palace, but she was worried about Su Chenyu. It was not difficult for her to blow up the Black Mountain Underground Palace, but what if someone from the Black Mountain Underground Palace came looking for her? Moreover, now that she had rescued a child, wouldn't that give her even more evidence?
Just when Aunt Xu was getting anxious, there was a knock on the door. Aunt Xu opened the door and found that it was Yanyu who came in with Guoguo who had just finished bathing.
During this time, Su Chenyu and Bai Yanqing were on the road together and had no time to clean up Guoguo. When Aunt Xu saw that they brought a dirty baby, she immediately threw Guoguo to Yanyu and asked her to wash the child well.
After washing, Aunt Xu discovered that the child was very cute. Although he was thin, his face still had a bit of baby fat, and when he looked at people, his eyes were timid.
Aunt Xu was not a cold-hearted person. Seeing how pitiful Guoguo was, she could not say anything to blame Su Chenyu for her meddling. However, she felt angry in her heart, so she turned her head away and did not look at Guoguo.
Su Chenyu understood what Aunt Xu was worried about, so she pulled Guoguo to her side and asked her, "Guoguo, we will meet people from the underground palace again in the future. Before we leave here, you can dress up as a boy first, okay?"
Guoguo was very obedient and smart. She immediately understood what Su Chenyu meant and nodded: "They also know Guoguo's name."
"You're right. I need to change your name." Su Chenyu thought for a moment, "From now on, I'll call you Civic."
"Thank you, beautiful sister. I like this name."
Listening to the interaction between the adult and the child, Aunt Xu couldn't help but look over here, feeling a little shaken.
Su Chenyu meant that she would have to take care of the child from now on. Given Aunt Xu's personality, she would not agree. But seeing the look in little Ciyu's eyes, Aunt Xu's heart softened. She understood why Su Chenyu insisted on taking Ciyu with her. The child was too well-behaved. If he stayed in the underground palace, who knows what he would become.
"Come here." Nanny Xu suddenly spoke.
Ciyu held Su Chenyu's hand and didn't dare to go to Aunt Xu. Su Chenyu patted Ciyu on the back and said, "Go ahead. Aunt Xu is kind-hearted. You should follow Aunt Xu more often in the future."
After hearing this, Ciyu slowly walked up to Aunt Xu. Aunt Xu took her hand and slid her sleeve down a little, revealing the wound on her arm.
Yanyu noticed the wounds on her body when she was bathing her: "The wounds on Ciyu's body look like someone cut her with a dagger."
"How could someone do such a beastly thing, and the child is so young?" Aunt Xu couldn't stand seeing this the most.
Ciyu heard that the mammy was speaking up for her, so he took the mammy's hand and said, "Mammy, I'm not hurt, it's been a long time."
Su Chenyu explained: "Ciyu was put together with a group of children before. Those people watched them kill each other. She could only survive by killing others. When I rescued Ciyu, she was almost killed by another little boy."
There were only a few words, but Aunt Xu understood what Su Chenyu meant.
