Chapter 347 Getting Involved
Chiu Chiu followed the chubby orange cat and escaped. Along the way, stray cats made noise to cover for them, and they managed to escape to a place...
[Another tent?]
As Chiu Chiu tilted her head, pondering whether to go in, Little Fatty Orange had already stepped out with its paw, "Meow!" You wait here, I'll go take a look.
Chuchu looked at the chubby orange tabby cat, deeply moved: "What a good cat!"
The little chubby orange cat paused, then nervously flicked its tail. The baby fish needed water, or it would die of thirst.
This area was extremely desolate, and the surrounding scenery looked almost the same, so they had no idea where they were.
The sun was shining on the little chubby orange cat, making it extremely hot, and its paws felt as heavy as lead.
The tent was tattered and patched all around. Little Fatty Orange peeked out from the outside, and the two locked eyes when someone suddenly came out from inside.
The little boy's eyes lit up: "Mommy, there's a cat!"
The woman, pale and frail, dragged her sickly body out, lifting the curtain. Why is there a cat here?
"There's a cat!"
The chubby orange cat sat obediently and meowed politely; it just wanted a glass of water.
The woman had a kind face and didn't seem like a bad person. The chubby orange cat stepped forward, tugged at her clothes, and took two steps outside. The little boy beside her immediately stepped forward to support her, "Kitty, my mother isn't feeling well."
"It's alright, it probably needs our help with something."
The mother and son followed the chubby orange cat outside, and after a few steps they saw a little girl of about two years old lying on the ground. The little girl's eyes were closed, and her face was flushed red from the sun.
Yingniang asked in surprise, "How come there's a child here?"
She searched around but couldn't find any adults. Although the child's appearance was strange, Yingniang still took her back.
A little boy named Cang Er carefully fed Qiu Qiu water around her bedside. The chubby orange cat licked the water in the bowl, wondering how Qiu Qiu could faint in the blink of an eye.
Chirp lay there quietly: 【Ah, delicious!】
Little Fatty Orange: "?" Are you faking it?
Chiu Chiu was just too tired and wanted to lie down and rest for a while, but because the sun was too bright, she closed her eyes. While she was lying there quietly, she was taken back as if she were unconscious.
She felt it would be impolite to open her eyes abruptly, so she pretended to be asleep.
He pretended to fall asleep while doing it.
When she woke up, it was already dark outside. She sat blankly on the bed, her mind still foggy. Suddenly, someone sat down beside her, and she instinctively mumbled, "Mother..."
Cocklebur: "!!!"
“I’m not your mother.” Cang Er’s ears turned red as she corrected the little girl in front of her, “I’m a boy.”
Chuchu: "Oh."
Cang Er asked Qiu Qiu several more questions, but Qiu Qiu didn't say a word, just stared at him blankly. The more he stared, the redder the young man's face became.
The person is awake, but their mind is still asleep.
All the words that reached Chiu Chiu's ears were automatically translated into: Aba abababa!
After a long while, Chiu Chiu fully woke up, looked at the helpless little expression on Cocklebur's face, and slowly moved, "Eat."
Little Fatty pointed behind Cocklebur, where Yingniang was holding a bowl of wild vegetable porridge. "I was just about to wake you up. Are you feeling better?"
The woman gently stroked Qiuqiu's forehead. "Have you gotten lost from your family?"
This child is fair-skinned and clean-cut, and his clothes are made of the finest materials. It's clear that his family takes good care of him. If he were lost, his family would be so worried!
Chiu Chiu rubbed her eyes; she missed her mother.
But it's okay, Qiuqiu will go out and start her own business, so that Mom can enjoy a comfortable life in the future!
Holding Yingniang's hand, Qiuqiu solemnly promised her, "I will repay you."
Yingniang was taken aback: "You're Han Chinese?"
Chiu Chiu shook her head: "I'm a baby."
"Baby?" Yingniang smiled, her eyes curving like crescent moons. "Your family must cherish you a lot."
This little chick can nod; she's the family's little darling.
But she never expected that Yingniang and Cang'er would think that she was called Baobao. She chirped for a long time and they thought she was hungry, so they fed her a bellyful of thin porridge.
He's a good person, but he only listens to what he wants to hear.
Qiuqiu pretended to be silly and cute, pretending that she had gotten lost from her brothers and was kidnapped to the Turkic Khaganate. Yingniang took her in temporarily because she was kind-hearted and said that she would find someone to secretly send her back to the Great Zhou.
In the dead of night, after confirming that Yingniang and her child were asleep, the chubby orange cat jumped onto Qiuqiu's chest and woke her up with two merciless meow punches.
How can you still be asleep at a time like this!
Chiu Chiu opened her eyes groggily, put her arm around the chubby orange cat, and mumbled, "Sleep, it's not dangerous."
[Waaaaah, so sleepy.]
Night owls can stay up all night without getting dark circles under their eyes.
[Little Fatty Orange is such a worrywart. How far can our legs go with their short legs? Even though the tent is a little torn, how bad can it be near the royal tent?!]
[I know this plot well: the eagle of the grasslands and his pregnant little wife who ran away. Hmm, another case of the cruel irony of fate. Let's hide here with the little wife!]
The chubby orange cat was being held by Chiu Chiu, looking resentful. Its big tail swept back and forth, gently patting Chiu Chiu to soothe her and help her fall back asleep.
It's so sad... this chubby orange cat is indeed a short-legged cat!
But what is the Way of Heaven?
It looked up at the sky, and the round moon seemed no different from the one at home.
Gazing at the moon, the cat and its kitten fell into a deep sleep...
The man sitting on the moon, chin in hand, was so angry he wanted to go down and give Qiuqiu a good beating.
"Is the Great Zhou Dynasty unable to contain you? You managed to chase after me even though we were thousands of miles apart?"
"You brat, are you a dog or a fish?!"
"Who sent her to cause trouble?! Song Qizhao, I'll kill you next time I see you!"
The man angrily disappeared behind the dark clouds, and the bright moon instantly dimmed.
Even without the dazzling moonlight, the world remains bright.
Torches dotted the desolate land. Jin Fengnian, covered in soot, confronted Prince Ning in a tense standoff. Ya An tried to mediate between the two, but to no avail.
"Don't worry, I've already sent people to look for that child."
Jin Fengnian glared at the two of them, then tossed his bundle aside and turned to leave, saying, "I'm not wasting my time with you. I'll find Qiuqiu myself!"
"Zhou Chenghao, if anything happens to Qiuqiu, I won't let you get away with this!"
Jin Fengnian roared with his neck stiff, but Prince Ning didn't give him a kind look, coldly saying, "Jin Fengnian, you are nothing but a merchant, a lowly merchant's son who was lucky enough to marry into a noble family, and now you dare to put on airs in front of me!"
"If you don't believe me, I'll take your life!"
"Pah! You think I'm afraid of you?!"
Although Jin Fengnian said that, he slipped away very quickly and disappeared from the crowd in the blink of an eye.
Ya'an walked over to Prince Ning's side: "Who exactly is he? How dare he speak to you like that? Aren't you Han people supposed to value status the most?"
Prince Ning scoffed: "Scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants—the lowest of the low—have become so arrogant after getting a windfall that they don't know their own worth. They shamelessly followed along, all they wanted was to rise to the top."
He casually pointed at Jin Fengnian's fleeing figure: "You think he really went to find Qiuqiu? He just saw that the situation in the Turkic Khaganate had changed drastically, so he found an excuse to run away!"
"You cowardly wretch, I despise associating with you!"
Ya'an sighed and patted his shoulder as a form of comfort: "I thought you two were close, but I never expected him to be this kind of person."
"Men have broad minds. Come on, let's have a good drink, brothers!"
