Wu Hua nodded in satisfaction.
"Uncle, we've finished talking, let's go down for dinner! I'm starving!"
Upon hearing that it was hungry, the head steward stopped lamenting and carried it downstairs.
"It's my fault, my fault! I was so busy chatting that I made our young master starve! Today I brought all your favorite foods, as well as a few new items. Let's go down and try them!"
Wu Hua clapped her hands excitedly: "Okay, go quickly, go quickly..."
At the dinner table, the head steward kept putting food on Wu Hua's plate, his eyes overflowing with affection.
Wang Yue also diligently put food in Qin Luo's bowl, but Qin Luo always felt that he had ulterior motives.
"Eat by yourself, I don't like others putting food on my plate!"
Wang Yue had no choice but to put her chopsticks away, looking somewhat aggrieved.
But in Qin Luo's eyes, this grievance was nothing short of resentment.
She couldn't help but wonder, "Could he have poisoned my food?"
Upon hearing her thoughts, Wu Hua silently replied to her in her mind.
"It's not poisonous, so don't worry about eating it! He's probably only trying to curry favor with you for that ten thousand taels of gold, so don't think of him as such a bad person!"
Qin Luo then finished the food in her bowl and looked at Yue as she ate what she had picked for her.
He became visibly happier, as if he had been given a stimulant!
As they were eating, Qin Luo said he had something to attend to and needed to go out for a while, asking them to wait for him at the inn.
The head steward hurriedly asked if the guards should accompany them.
Qin Luo immediately refused and then ran out of the inn.
A moment later, she returned, leading the donkey-hide gelatin.
The head steward looked at her reproachfully.
"This child is really something. You could have just told the guards to bring him over, instead of making the whole trip yourself!"
Qin Luo explained to him with a smile
"Uncle, you don't know my donkey. It's very stubborn. No one can lead it away without me!"
The head steward looked at the donkey-hide gelatin with curiosity.
"Was this also provided by your family? I don't see anything special about it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ejiao turned his donkey head and grinned at him.
The big boss was astonished.
"Wow, this is really different! It can even laugh!"
"That's right! Not only can donkey-hide gelatin laugh, it's also incredibly smart, and its stamina is far superior to that of an ordinary donkey. Even a horse might not be as fast as it!"
The praised donkey-hide gelatin held its head high, as if to say, "I deserve your praise!"
The head steward, observing the series of operations involving donkey-hide gelatin, completely believed Qin Luo's words.
He specially asked the servant to fetch some cabbage so he could personally feed the donkey-hide gelatin.
"Donkey, your name is Ejiao, right? Thank you for your hard work along the way. You'll need to keep up the good work in the future!"
Ejiao understood what he meant, chewed the cabbage and swallowed it.
He nodded deeply several times, indicating that he understood.
The head steward repeatedly marveled inwardly at the power of this reclusive family.
Even a donkey can be taught to be so intelligent; no wonder the two young masters are much smarter than children of the same age, despite their young age!
Wang Yue couldn't help but sigh in his heart: He was already unattainable, but now that he saw this donkey, he felt even more unworthy of it!
No one present paid any attention to his emotional fluctuations; they were all busy loading gifts onto the donkey cart!
The head steward bid farewell to Qin Luo and Wu Hua, telling them to come back and visit whenever they had time.
For all eternity, everyone will wait for them in the same place!
A sudden wave of sadness washed over Qin Luo and Wu Hua.
Both of them felt a lump in their throats and an inexplicable urge to cry, but they managed to hold back.
The two men drove a donkey cart, while Wang Yue rode his dead horse.
He waved goodbye to the head steward and his guards.
Take care of yourselves! See you again someday!
After saying that, the three of them headed towards the direction of leaving the city.
Whether they would ever meet again, none of them knew, but what Qin Luo wanted to say most at this moment was goodbye!
As they approached the city gate, Qin Luo sent Wang Yue away.
He was asked to go buy some snacks for Wu Hua on the way. Wang Yue didn't understand why he needed to buy snacks when there was already a cart full of food.
But he didn't ask any further questions; he went as Qin Luo told him to…
After he left, Qin Luo moved the donkey-hide gelatin to a deserted alley.
After storing all the items on the cart into his spatial storage, he leisurely led the donkey cart back to the city gate.
Wu Hua and I each took an ice cream and sat on the donkey cart, eating as we waited for Wang Yue to return.
Wang Yue was very quick and efficient; in no time, she returned carrying bags and bags of snacks.
Seeing the empty donkey cart, they thought they had been robbed.
Qin Luo could tell what he was thinking just by looking into his eyes.
"Stop looking! I had the tribesmen take the things away. Quickly put the snacks on the donkey cart, and we'll set off now!"
Wang Yue obediently did as she was told. Wu Hua, sitting on the donkey cart, held the things in her arms, preparing to eat them when she was bored on the road!
After leaving the city, the three of them raced towards Yujia City.
Only then did Wang Yue believe Qin Luo's words: donkey-hide gelatin could indeed run faster than a horse.
The horse was practically panting, but the donkey-hide gelatin showed no signs of fatigue.
In the end, Qin Luo couldn't bear to watch any longer and fed his dead horse some diluted space stream water.
They were barely able to keep up with the speed of the donkey-hide gelatin production, and the group traveled at a rapid pace for half a month.
Just as they were about to reach Yujia City, they were stopped by a group of fierce-looking men.
"Halt! Hand over all your valuables, and leave your donkey cart and horses behind!"
Before Qin Luo could speak, Wang Yue drew his sword and pointed it at the burly man in front of him.
"Those who are capable, get out of the way, or you'll taste the power of my big sword!"
Qin Luo was about to take out the vine when Wu Hua stopped her.
Its eyes glanced towards the hem of the burly man's clothes, and Qin Luo followed suit.
This glance set off alarm bells in her mind.
On the hem of the burly man's robe was an embroidered emblem, the very clan crest of the Shouze tribe.
Presumably, Shuiying's clansmen who hadn't yet reached Weisi County had already been captured by these bandits.
She couldn't help but raise her hand to touch her chest, where the jade pendant Shui Ying had given her before she left still hung.
Now that she has become a friend and received a generous gift from her, her people are now her own people, and she cannot ignore them!
To rescue them, you must first infiltrate their base.
Qin Luo gave Wang Yue a look, and without waiting for him to understand, he picked up Teng Teng and began to pretend to fight.
After a few moves, she pretended to be outmatched and collapsed to the ground.
"Hero, spare our lives! My brother and I are still young, please don't kill us! We'll do anything!"
Although Wang Yue didn't know what he was going to do, she still cooperated perfectly and fell into a disadvantageous position.
She shouted at the bandits, still unwilling to give up, "If you have a problem, come at me! The two girls are still young and don't understand anything!"
The bandits were astonished that this defeated opponent still dared to yell and shout at them.
He immediately threw two punches, and Wang Yue clutched his stomach, begging for mercy.
"Heroes, spare my life! It was my fault for being so talkative. Please have mercy!"
Qin Luo and Wu Hua watched from the sidelines, clapping their hands in admiration. "That's great acting! She could easily enter the entertainment industry!"
