Chapter Twenty: The Black Horse Arrives Under the Moonlight



This courtyard was set up by Qi Han for his eldest son, specifically for his studies.

There was no way around it; the second child had a whole litter, making the house too noisy, and the eldest child couldn't concentrate on his studies.

As the servant closed the door again, a man in black robes emerged from around the corner and asked in a deep voice, "Who is this woman?"

Qi Pengju's expression turned serious: "Your Excellency, that should be my sister-in-law's elder sister."

"Do you know where she got that brand of sticky rice from?"

"The brand of glutinous rice?" Qi Pengju asked blankly.

"Never mind... Where does she live?"

...

Shen Qingyu went to the grain and oil shop, took the leftover rice, flour and oil from yesterday, bought some other things, and then drove the donkey cart home.

As soon as they left the town, the skinny donkey started to give up, standing there with its legs splayed out, braying "Ah, I'm hungry."

Shen Qingyu was puzzled: She hadn't taken much today; she had stored the rest in her spatial storage. What happened to it?

The stubborn donkey kept nudging and licking, and it took Shen Qingyu a while to realize: this fellow actually wanted to drink the spiritual spring water!

Hey!

The donkey has become a spirit!

It wasn't until Shen Qingyu fed it two ladles of water that the skinny donkey was satisfied and set off again.

When they got home, it was already noon. The three children were all looking outside expectantly, and Wenche was sitting in the yard waiting.

Xiao Yunqi went into the mountains to pick wild vegetables, but he hasn't returned yet?

Shen Qingyu was somewhat surprised, but still washed her hands and went to cook.

The meal was ready, but Xiao Yunqi still hadn't returned.

The meal was finished, but Xiao Yunqi still hadn't returned.

As darkness fell, Xiao Yunqi still hadn't returned.

The triplets were getting anxious.

The second child immediately burst into tears: "Mommy, did Daddy run away again? Does he not want us anymore?"

You can't say that, because if you do, Xiao Bao will start crying too.

Shen Qingyu had a headache: "No way! Something must have been holding him up..."

"But it's getting dark!"

Stubborn Da Bao held back his tears, though they welled up in his eyes.

Shen Qingyu was also bewildered: Where did they go?

Could it have been carried off by wolves in the mountains?

The three children were all worried, and Wen Che was also starting to panic: "Are there any wild beasts in these mountains?"

“Wah…” Erbao burst into tears.

The child's cries were like a demonic cacophony. Shen Qingyu couldn't sit still any longer and got up to head up the mountain: "Wait here, I'll go find your father for you right now!"

Upon hearing this, the three children became anxious again: "Mother, it's getting dark. You can't go into the mountains. What if you encounter danger?"

Even encountering danger is better than staying at home listening to your games and trumpeting!

Shen Qingyu waved her hand: "Don't worry, I will take good care of myself..."

Upon reaching the foot of the mountain, Shen Qingyu opened the map.

The map showed my location as a green dot, along with nearby roads, herbs, wild vegetables, and wild animals. The area shown was roughly ten meters around me...

That's enough.

If danger is detected, one can escape into the space to ensure survival.

Shen Qingyu held a wooden stick in her hand to check the depth before walking into the mountains.

The moon has come out, and the mountains and forests are dark and gloomy under its light.

Shen Qingyu was bewildered: Where did they go? Where should we look for them?

You can't just wander around in the mountains by yourself, can you?

She looked around...

Go to hell!

Shen Qingyu plopped down on a large rock by the roadside and refused to move.

I'll wait a little longer, and if the person doesn't come out, I'll go back.

"Chirp chirp chirp..." A small animal's sound rang out, seemingly coming from beneath me?

Shen Qingyu's heart skipped a beat. She quickly opened the map, and the next second, her eyes widened: a little rabbit icon appeared on the map, and the location overlapped with her green dot...

Shen Qingyu looked down at the large rock she was sitting on, her heart pounding like a drum.

There is a rabbit hole under the rock.

Should we do it or not?

Why not do it?

There were woven bags in the storage room. Shen Qingyu took out the woven bags, found the rabbit hole, put the woven bags against the hole, and weighed them down with stones. Then she took out a steel pipe from the storage room and started banging it around the big stone!

"Clang clang clang..."

The crisp sound drifted through the moonlit forest and carried far!

The rabbit was startled and quickly fell into the woven bag.

Hearing the thumping sound from the woven bag, Shen Qingyu quickly tied the bag shut and threw it aside. When she looked at the map again, the little rabbit icon had fallen next to the green dot.

They've caught them all: two big rabbits and five little rabbits.

Shen Qingyu was so happy that her mouth was practically splitting open!

They tied the rabbits up one by one with hemp rope, put the steel pipes and woven bags into the space warehouse, and prepared to take them back like this.

Standing up, Shen Qingyu opened the map again, preparing to go home, when she suddenly heard a tapping sound.

She turned around in surprise and saw a tall, dark horse carrying a person coming out of the mountains.

A black horse under the moonlight, a person who walks silently...

Shen Qingyu's hair stood on end!

Just as Shen Qingyu was about to hide in her spatial dimension, the man on the black horse called out, "Wife?"

Depend on!

It was actually Xiao Yunqi!

While patting her chest to calm herself down, Shen Qingyu angrily said, "Where did you run off to? The three children thought you had run away and were crying their eyes out at home! That's why I had to come up the mountain to look for you at this hour!"

Xiao Yunqi was also surprised: Shen Qingyu had actually come all the way up the mountain alone to find him...

A warmth suddenly welled up in his heart, and Xiao Yunqi's voice became much gentler as he explained, "I encountered my former benefactor who was injured, so I went to some trouble to bring him back."

Shen Qingyu then noticed that a person in black robes was lying unconscious on the back of the black horse.
