On this day, as evening approached and the sky grew overcast, the three village chiefs, for safety reasons, discussed the matter and decided to halt their advance, find a safe place, and quickly grab something to eat.
Ten miles ahead lies Qingfeng Mountain, where it is rumored that bandits often roam.
Whether it was divine favor or sheer luck, there was a dense forest nearby, with a small river nearby, the water of which was quite clear.
Mo Qingcheng fetched some river water and frowned slightly: "Congratulations, host, the river water is poisonous."
"Bang!"
Mo Qingcheng's hand trembled, and the pottery jar fell to the ground. Bai Zimo, who had clumsily bumped into her, burst into tears.
"Mother, MoMo didn't mean it, sob sob..."
"Don't be afraid, okay!" Mo Qingcheng breathed a sigh of relief. She was just wondering what excuse to use to pour out the water when Mo Mo came to her rescue.
Mo Qingcheng pulled out two pieces of candy from somewhere and gave them to Bai Zimo: "Wait for your mother to make you something delicious."
"..." Bai Zimo was dumbfounded. He had caused such a big disaster, but his mother didn't blame him?
Mo Qingcheng beckoned the children over and whispered, "Mother suspects there's something wrong with the river water, so don't drink it yet."
The six little ones gasped in shock. "My God, could it be poisonous?"
Shangguan Yunxi opened her mouth, glanced around, and silently turned away, as if nothing had happened.
"Mother, my third sister and I are going to cook..."
Mu Wanqing nodded blankly, "Ah? Okay..."
Mo Qingcheng gave Shangguan Yichen a knowing look, then turned and found Third Grandmother.
Everyone saw that Third Grandma looked solemn and walked quickly with Mo Niangzi towards the direction of Village Chief Li Changgeng's house.
"Hmph, shameless!" Widow Li rolled her eyes. "That vixen. She's always trying to seduce the village chief's son. Does his wife know?"
Li Xiaoqing frowned slightly: "Mother, don't talk nonsense."
"You unfilial son! Anyone who didn't know better would think that little slut was your real mother! Humph!" Widow Li was furious. She kicked her son, turned around, and sat down to roll her eyes.
Li Xiaoqing sighed helplessly and began to cook. As long as her mother was alive, she could forget about getting married…
Upon hearing Mo Qingcheng's words, Li Changgeng and Liu Cuihua turned pale and spun around in circles.
Liu Cuihua quickly instructed her daughter-in-law who was cooking: "Stop cooking immediately..."
Yan Siyu couldn't help but frown: "Mom, the food in the pot is almost cooked..."
Hmph, Lady Mo is just spreading alarmist rumors; she can't stand seeing others do well.
How could Liu Cuihua not see through her daughter-in-law's foolish idea? She couldn't help but think, "If you want to die, go ahead and try."
“Husband…” Yan Siyu looked at Li Yuanfeng with a wronged expression.
Li Yuanfeng usually dotes on Yan Siyu, but when it comes to matters of principle, he dares not be careless in the slightest.
"Listen to your mother, there are so many people, don't let them suffer along with you!"
Yan Siyu's face darkened instantly. What nonsense! What does it have to do with her?
But she couldn't stop talking to her husband and mother-in-law, so she had to stop angrily.
"Lady Mo, you said... the other two villages..."
"Village Chief Li, you might as well give me a gentle reminder..." Whether he listens or not is up to fate.
In such a remote mountain area, where there's only one river, isn't it quite normal for it to be poisoned?
Li Changgeng found Liu Changming and Sun Yunhui and got straight to the point: "Brothers, my wife and I drank some river water, and the taste is a bit off...it seems..."
"Brother Li, you suspect... someone poisoned him?" Liu Changming narrowed his eyes.
Li Changgeng nodded, and Sun Yunhui gasped, "Who's so despicable?"
