Chapter 42 Paying Homage to the Little Immortal!
It's unbelievable! One member of the Xu family died, two others fainted, leaving only a widow and her child.
Everyone knows that Wu Lianzhen couldn't possibly carry her mother-in-law and sister-in-law away while holding her son.
"You guys, carry him onto the wooden cart."
Luo Qing pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling a headache coming on.
Finally able to set off, the entire team was stretched out.
Luo Hao led the way, with Yun Zhao and the others in the middle, followed by a tigress.
The Gao family members trailed far behind, followed by Wu Lianzhen struggling to push a wooden cart at the very back.
"With another tiger around, they don't dare to make things difficult for us anymore!"
Xu Yinan chuckled, overjoyed.
"It's just a pity about those two truckloads of stuff."
Xu Qingyi sighed, still thinking about the donkey cart and oxcart that had run away last night.
Yun Zhao sat on the tiger's back and looked up at her when he heard his mother's words.
"Mommy, nothing's lost! Don't worry about it!"
Xu Qingyi suddenly remembered that when her daughter untied the ropes last night, she seemed to have said something to the donkey and the cow.
"Could it be that they knew to wait for us outside?"
"Yes, I made a promise with them; they'll wait for us at the village entrance!"
Yun Zhao laughed with great interest.
Everyone was overjoyed and walked much faster.
As expected, when the exile team arrived at the entrance of Dujia Village, donkeys and oxen were pulling carts and waiting for them at the entrance.
The tiger's aura instantly made them stomp their feet in agitation.
"Don't be afraid, we're all friends!"
Yun Zhao waved to them.
"Come on over~ It's okay, we can go now~"
The donkey and the ox hesitated for a few steps, but actually walked over!
The villagers were already furious with Luo Qing, and when they learned that the exile team was about to leave, they all came to see off the plague god.
Unexpectedly, they saw a little child sitting on the tiger's back, even talking to the donkey and ox that were pulling it!
"My goodness, where did this little fairy come from?"
"I heard that those exiled are members of the Prince of Jin's family. Could it be the Prince of Jin's daughter?"
More and more people came to see him off, and in the crowd, someone shouted something.
"Greetings, little immortal!"
So the villagers all knelt down and bowed to her.
Yun Zhao glanced at the load of things Luo Qing had taken away, knowing full well that these were the villagers' daily necessities.
These officials, including Luo Qing, are truly insatiable.
She had already received benefits from the Gao family, and they even helped feed her along the way.
Dujia Village provided them with free accommodation, but they actually tried to extort money from them, even taking away their mules!
This is absolutely despicable!
Yun Zhao suddenly patted the tigress on the back, and the tigress immediately stopped.
The tiger stopped, and the group of people following behind it naturally stopped as well, none of them daring to go any further.
"What's wrong with Zhao Zhao?"
Xu Yifei asked with concern.
"I don't know~ The tiger stopped by itself~"
Yun Zhao said he didn't know, but he had already begun searching for alternatives in the space.
Luo Qing and his group covered their wooden cart with a waterproof tarpaulin. Taking advantage of their attention being focused on the tiger, Yun Zhao replaced all the grain in the wooden cart with cow dung and bricks from Du Xi's house.
After doing all this, she patted the tiger discreetly.
The tiger immediately obeyed and started walking.
It finally moved, and Luo Qing and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
If the tigress doesn't move, he doesn't know how to get her to move.
The cart was pulled by mules, and Luo Qing and the others were unaware that the contents of the wooden cart had changed.
Zhichun and the others brought the donkey and ox back and left Dujia Village with the exile team.
The villagers of Dujia Village watched them leave, their faces immediately turning sorrowful.
"Village chief, the snow hasn't even melted yet, and Luo Qing has already taken away our stored grain. How are we going to survive until the harvest?"
There wasn't much left to begin with, but Luo Qing managed to take it all!
"What can we do, report it to the authorities?"
Du Xi laughed when he said those words.
Officials protect each other, and besides, the county magistrate would never delay the exile procession for the sake of ordinary people like them.
Just as everyone was frowning in worry, Madam Du suddenly screamed, "Honey! Come quick!"
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Du Xi was startled and hurriedly ran inside.
Let's hope nothing else goes wrong!
Unexpectedly, a lot of grain was piled up in the yard out of nowhere!
"This, isn't this my rice bag?"
"Oh dear, these are the things Luo Qing just took away!"
The villagers stepped forward one after another to claim their belongings.
"How...how did this get here?"
"What are those things on Luo Qing's mule cart?"
Could it be a ghost?
"It's a little fairy! The little boy who was riding a tiger and could talk to the cow!"
When someone mentioned this, everyone suddenly realized what had happened.
Yes, only a minor deity could retrieve their things without anyone noticing!
"Honey, the cow dung is gone, and so are the bricks we used to patch the holes in the corner!"
Madam Du hurriedly searched around and returned in a panic, saying...
"Oh well, who cares? If the cow dung is gone, it's gone. We'll just burn firewood!"
Du Xi didn't care about the cow dung anymore and quickly returned the items to the villagers.
The villagers, holding their recovered grain, gradually had tears in their eyes.
"What a kind-hearted little deity..."
"Everyone says that the Prince of Jin is a wise ruler, and his daughter is so kind too!"
"I believe the Prince of Jin has been wronged!"
Du Xi led the villagers to kneel down, facing the direction of Jiangnan.
"Heavens above, please bless the Prince of Jin and his family with peace and good health, and may they be spared from this calamity!"
Yun Zhao sat on the tiger's back, swinging her little feet, in an exceptionally good mood.
Seeing this, Xu Yinan teased, "Zhaozhao, what happy thing happened today?"
"Hmm~ it's probably because of the good weather~"
Yun Zhao stroked the little tiger's head, looked at the sun that was halfway up, and laughed.
"Indeed, the sun is out!"
For some reason, the Xu siblings also felt much lighter.
Perhaps it's the therapeutic effect of the rabbit meat pot we had last night?
They were in good spirits, but Wu Lianzhen, pushing the wooden cart, felt as if her shoulders were completely useless.
"You old hag, when are you going to wake up?!"
She muttered to herself the whole way until noon when she stopped, her arm completely unable to be lifted.
Whether it was intentional or not, not long after the group stopped, Old Madam Xu and Xu Qingshi woke up almost at the same time.
Wu Lianzhen: !
They must have done it on purpose!
"Ah! A tiger!"
Xu Qingshi was so frightened that she fell off the wooden cart, and Yun Zhao immediately stuck out his index finger.
Shh! Don't make a fuss, or you'll scare the tiger!
"Are you... are you insane?! Taking a tiger on the road?!"
Xu Qingshi screamed.
Xu Yinan glared at her unhappily, and suddenly his bad temper flared up.
"Hey, louder! If you anger the tiger, it won't be our problem!"
Xu Qingshi immediately covered her mouth in terror and dared not speak again.
After waking up, Madam Xu sat on the wooden cart in a daze.
Wu Lianzhen's arm was in great pain, but she patiently said, "Mother, I really can't push anymore. Could you carry Qian'er for a bit?"
But all she got in response was silence.
