After today, Wangyou Hall will officially open for business.
Qiu Yan, in her spare time, returned to the village.
As for Ling Qi and Ling Ba, these two had nothing to do all day. When asked to return to the military camp, they refused. Qiu Yan found them too conspicuous, so she simply kept them at the pharmacy as servants, making the best use of them.
Ling Qi and Ling Ba were inwardly distressed and firmly disagreed.
But Qiu Yan said that her pharmacy is currently short-staffed.
Qiu Yan genuinely didn't think she could encounter any danger.
This time, she rode back on horseback.
The journey wasn't long, and she was too lazy to take the carriage.
In a corner of Lingnan Village, Gu Xiaoran was happily shooting birds into the air with a slingshot.
This slingshot was originally given to Gu Xiaoran by Li Zheng to help her pass the time, but unexpectedly it caused a lot of trouble.
Because Gu Xiaoran kept causing trouble and injuring many children in the village, Ye had to apologize to many people for it.
Li Zheng locked him in the courtyard, forbidding him from going out at will.
And they also confiscated his slingshot.
Inside the Li family's house, Madam Ye was coaxing her two sons when suddenly, something seemed off about her.
She looked at Zhu Juan, who was sitting in front of a basin in the courtyard, carefully washing Gu Xiaoran's clothes, and asked:
"Zhu Juan, where's Xiao Ran?"
Zhu Juan turned her head to look into the yard. "Wasn't he trying to put his two uncles to sleep?"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Ye panicked. "No, there isn't."
After she finished speaking, she left the main house and began to inspect each room one by one.
Zhu Juan followed Ye's actions and began searching for the person.
Unable to find him, she was even more anxious than Madam Ye, and hurriedly ran out of the courtyard. "Auntie, don't worry, I'll go out and look for him."
Ever since Qiu Yan left last time, Gu Xiaoran has wanted to go to Baiyang again and again.
If she hadn't caught up in time, that brat would have run off by himself long ago.
"Alright, go and find him quickly." Madam Ye wanted to go with her to search, but because of her two sons, she stayed at the courtyard gate.
As soon as Zhu Juan came out, she wandered back and forth through the village's alleys.
She searched and called out, "Xiao Ran..."
After searching for a long time, I still couldn't find it.
Finally, she found the end of an alley, and the scene in the distance made her... her legs go weak, so she ran quickly.
Beside Gu Xiaoran, two little girls were squatting on the ground, sobbing.
One of them had red and swollen eyes, and the other had a red and swollen cheek. Clearly, Gu Xiaoran had gotten into trouble again.
And that's not all. At this moment, Gu Xiaoran was holding a slingshot and aiming at the boy Qiu Xiaobao who was not far from him.
Qiu Xiaobao backed away in fright, but his words remained defiant.
"You wild child, no wonder you call Qiu Yan 'mother,' you're just like that wretched girl, despicable!"
He would never admit that he was afraid of a four-year-old child.
His mother said that Qiu Yan, that wretched girl, had gotten pregnant out of wedlock and was not a respectable woman, but a lowly woman. Therefore, he also felt that Gu Xiaoran was lowly.
"Your mother is the one!" Gu Xiaoran's young face was full of anger. Others could talk about him, but they couldn't talk about his mother.
He stepped forward with a fierce look in his eyes, his fingers twitching slightly.
Seeing Gu Xiaoran pull the slingshot, Zhu Juan hurriedly ran forward and shouted,
"Xiao Ran, no!"
She was so anxious that she didn't hear a single word of Qiu Xiaobao's harsh words.
Immediately after Zhu Juan finished speaking, with a whoosh, the pebble struck Qiu Xiaobao's lips and teeth.
Instantly, Qiu Xiaobao's lips became red and swollen, and his teeth ached.
Qiu Xiaobao was in excruciating pain, covering his lips and wailing loudly.
She was crying and vomiting blood.
"You little bastard, I'll beat you to death!"
His eyes were bloodshot, and he picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at Gu Xiaoran.
