Little Changyin, clinging to Tiger Cub's back, watched the approaching surging crowd and frightened, quickly calling out to Tiger Cub.
The little baby and Wenlian rode on the back of the chubby boy. Although it wasn't Wenlian's first time riding a tiger, it was the first time she had ridden such a fast tiger. She held tightly to the little baby and didn't dare to open her eyes.
Only one little bundle of joy, who was always so crazy, looked at the crowd with a nonchalant air and commanded fiercely, "Tiger Baby! Don't chase them! There are people all over the place, you won't be able to catch them even if you run over there."
Finally, under the command of the little bun, Tiger stopped before he could rush into the crowd, but he was still fierce, barking savagely at the shoving crowd.
The little dumpling pulled Wenlian off the chubby girl's back and jumped down. Looking at the noisy crowd, she shouted in dissatisfaction. Even Tiger Baby's loud shouts were easily drowned out by the noise.
The noise is because someone is blocking the people who want to go up the mountain.
Amid the chaos, the little boy could barely make out that it seemed to be that the uncle, Marquis Xingbai, was returning to the capital from Changjun to report on his duties. He was passing by this desolate mountain on the outskirts of the capital and wanted to go hunting. Not wanting to be disturbed, he had people stop others from going up the mountain.
In the past, if ordinary people encountered servants from the Marquis's mansion blocking their way, they would turn back dejectedly, no matter what their business was.
But today marks the 49th day since Luo Dangdang went up the mountain to perform the ritual. During this period, many parents who have lost their children will insist on going up the mountain every day to kowtow and pray outside the altar.
Today is the last day. They have been waiting for this day for so long, hoping that the Taoist priest will come out of seclusion and they will know whether their child will return or not. But a marquis just suddenly decided to go hunting and won't let them go up the mountain!
"Your Excellency should be reasonable! Human life is at stake. What difference does it make if Your Excellency goes hunting today or tomorrow? But today is our last chance to pray for our child! We beg Your Excellency to be lenient!"
"Moreover, Heaven cherishes life. The Taoist priest is performing rituals on the mountain, and the Marquis is killing a living being today. What if it ruins our child's fortune!"
"Yes, yes! The lives of ordinary people's children matter too!"
...
Public resentment boiled over, and the people pushed and shoved the servants of the Marquis's mansion who were blocking the road, protesting angrily.
The servant, as always, completely disregarded them. With a fit of rage, he shoved the men who rushed at him, sending them stumbling backward. He shouted, "What does the Marquis want to do? When did it become your place to tell him what to do? Who do you think you are!"
The little girl often takes her friends up the mountain to play, and they've long been familiar with the uncles and aunts who also go up the mountain every day.
When she saw her uncles and aunts being roughly pushed down by these bad guys, she immediately ran over to stand in front of them, looked up at these fierce-looking men, and said fiercely, "Why are you pushing people! This mountain doesn't belong to you, why won't you let others in!"
The servants, with their noses in the air, didn't even respect these common people, let alone a three-year-old, chubby little dumpling.
The servant didn't even glance at her, pointing at the throng of people in front of him and shouting, "Get out of here! Our Marquis has taken his young master hunting in the mountains and doesn't like to be disturbed. If you keep blocking the way, don't blame us for being impolite!"
As he spoke, the servant took the riding whip from his waist and lashed it at the ground.
But the little baby was standing right in front of the servant!
When the people saw this, they screamed in fright and hurriedly tried to pull the baby out of the water.
"A little princess?!"
"Little Princess!!"
