Chapter 75: There are people in the deep mountains
Su Yunyi was so weak he couldn't even kill a chicken; he couldn't kick a dragon or punch a tiger. He wouldn't even dare to flick Qiuqiu on the head.
"What are you looking at?" Su Yunyi changed his expression from annoyed to stroking her hair, full of helplessness. "One of you and one of me is not enough to be a dish for the Wolf King. Why don't we go home now and call someone over?"
You're just scared!
Su Yunyi said to himself: "I am not afraid, your brother, but I am worried about your life. I can run, but you have weak arms and legs, are you going to crawl all the way back?"
You're just scared!
Su Yunyi: "Besides, this is the Jiang family's family affair. It's not good for us to interfere without permission."
You're just scared!
Su Yunyi: "..."
When will this ever end?!
Okay, he was genuinely scared. In the middle of nowhere, with no one around, what if it was a trap set by someone? Were they really going to be stupid enough to jump in?
He is personally good at outsmarting and calling for help.
"Chirp chirp, your behavior is like that of a brute."
The little child hadn't even learned to speak yet, but she already knew how to sneer. A wild and unruly smile appeared on her little face, scaring Su Yunyi so much that he wanted to find another place to exorcise the evil spirits from her.
Whose baby has such a weird laugh?
[You're a brute, aren't you?]
【I'll show you what a brute I'm made of today! Put me down, I'm going to climb up myself!】
It's so funny, who doesn't have some backbone?
Su Yunyi didn't indulge her. He tossed her onto the clean grass and pointed ahead, saying, "Go."
After a moment of shock, Qiuqiu turned to look at her second brother. Wasn't he going to try to persuade her?
"So, I really climbed it?"
Su Yunyi said that he really didn't care at all.
He slightly raised his head to look at the sky, not at Chirp, his expression casual. "Hurry up and climb!"
He was a little kid, rolling over at three, sitting up at six, and crawling at nine. Although he was never married, he had two younger brothers who were still little good-for-nothings when they were as big as Chiu Chiu!
But he may have forgotten that Chuchu is a magical baby who has undergone long-term strength training.
Although she wasn't superhuman enough to actually climb, she could roll really fast!
She struggled to pry open the ground a couple of times, and before Su Yunyi could keep an eye on her, she went down the slope...
Goodbye, Second Brother, I'm setting sail now!
Su Yunyi was wondering what was going on when he looked down and was terrified: "Holy crap! Where's my chubby little sister?!"
A faint sound reached Su Yunyi's ears. He looked down and saw a fat man in red clothes waving his flowery hands as he walked down.
Damn, we're setting sail now! What an exhilarating journey!
Su Yunyi didn't care about anything else and chased after them in a disheveled state.
"Chirp chirp!"
"Chirp chirp, slow down!"
He can already imagine how badly his sister would be beaten when she came home covered in bruises. He might not even see the sun rise tomorrow. Anyway, he has many sons in the family, and even if he is gone, there are still three to take care of him in his old age.
But I only have one precious daughter, Chuchu!
"Jiujiu, please don't let anything happen to you, or I'll have to follow you today."
Where to go? The wind's too strong, I can't hear you!
Alas!
[...]
[I want to fly forward, I want to wait...wait! Who are you?!]
Jiujiu rolled wildly, and before she could land safely, she was picked up by the collar. She spun around like a little turtle, trying hard to see who was holding her, but her footing was not right, and she could not see the person's face even after spinning several times in the air.
Su Yunyi finally arrived. Although Jiujiu had rolled all the way down, he was completely unharmed, save for a bit of dirt on his body, without even a bruise. But Su Yunyi was different. He rolled and crawled, his whole body in excruciating pain, as if he had been beaten.
He didn't care about himself and rushed forward to take Jiujiu back from the person who suddenly appeared. He went back and forth, carefully checking Jiujiu's body to make sure she was okay, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked at the person who had suddenly appeared, somewhat puzzled, "Who are you and why are you here all of a sudden?"
"That's what I should be asking you. How did you end up in my house?"
"Your home?"
Su Yunyi surveyed his surroundings, surprised to find himself actually in a field at the foot of a slope. Instead of relief, however, a sense of unease crept in.
Cultivating land and growing vegetables in the deep mountains and forests?
Su Yunyi sized up the girl before him. She looked to be about six or seven years old, extremely thin, with sunken cheeks, appearing somewhat sickly and listless, as if something had drained her of her energy. Standing there in her gray clothes, she looked like an empty skeleton.
Deep in the mountains and old forests, a frail young girl...
It's a weird combination no matter how you put it together.
Su Yunyi held Jiujiu and kept backing away, fearing that the little girl in front of him would turn into a man-eating monster from the storybook.
[How could my second brother be so dense? Didn't he notice that this older sister in front of him looks somewhat familiar?]
After being reminded by Jiujiu, Su Yunyi looked at the girl's appearance carefully.
Surprisingly, he actually figured it out.
He muttered quietly, "It does look a bit like the White Bone Demon in the storyteller's book."
Jiujiu: [……] How can she save her second brother who has poor eyesight?
The nameless girl: "!!!" Actually, she could hear it!
She's just unwell, not deaf. Who talks badly about others so loudly?
She picked up the hoe thrown aside and pointed it at Su Yunyi: "Leave quickly, or I will be rude to you!"
The nameless girl bared her teeth and made a fierce face, but it had no effect on Su Yunyi.
"Little sister, where are your family members?"
The nameless girl's wariness remained undiminished as she glared at him fiercely: "What's it to you! Get out of here!"
Comparing the two, even if Su Yunyi brought a troublesome little girl like Qiuqiu, he still had the upper hand. It was normal for him to suddenly appear in a strange little girl's home and frighten her.
"I'm sorry for being so abrupt. Su will leave now."
Since Chiu Chiu is alright, it's best to leave as soon as possible.
But just as he took a step forward, she called him back, "Wait!"
"What's wrong?"
Unnamed girl: "Take the fat guy out of the house too!"
The person inside made her feel uncomfortable, so since someone had come, she quickly took him away.
Su Yunyi pondered for a moment. Jiang Yuming, who ran away from home, seemed to be a little fat.
Chiu Chiu pursed her lips, unsure of what to think. Had her second brother not reacted at all by now?
He was obviously close to the answer!
Didn't you notice that she looks a bit like Brother Yuming?
Like Jiang Yuming?
Su Yunyi was even more confused. Looking closely, it really didn't seem like it...
"Little sister, is your last name Jiang?"
Is she related to Jiang Yuming?
Could it be...?
"I see!"
Jiujiu was startled and rolled his eyes.
"You found out again?"
Su Yunyi felt that he now knew the truth behind Jiang Yuming's running away from home!
He looked at the nameless girl with a determined look and concluded, "You must be Mr. Jiang's illegitimate daughter. Jiang Yuming discovered this secret and couldn't accept it, so he ran away from home!"
Chirp: [……]
Now the question is, is her brother's fame and achievements fake?
Why does she feel that he doesn't look very smart?
