It was a small village about five miles away from Shentu's home.
Of course, the houses in the village cannot be compared with the Shentu family’s house.
Under the pale moonlight, the low houses revealed a scene of desolation and decay.
Lao Mo stopped in front of a house that looked relatively new.
There were some red ribbons hanging at the door of the house, indicating that there had just been a happy event here.
Lao Mo knocked on the door.
The door made of several wooden boards creaked open.
Xiao Mo's surprised face appeared before Lao Mo and Xia Chu met.
Behind her followed A Ce.
Lao Mo said, "Xiao Mo, please let my benefactor live with you. It's not very convenient for me to live with you."
Xiao Mo hurriedly said, "Great! Benefactor, if you don't mind my simple house, please stay here!"
Xia Chujian shook her head to show that she didn't mind.
It was the dead of night, so why would she mind as long as there was a place to stay?
Lao Mo called A Ce out again and whispered to him in the courtyard, "A Ce, our benefactor has just hanged those people he killed on the walls of the Shentu family."
Ah Ce was shocked and said, "Really?! She really did that?!"
Lao Mo said: "I was right there at the time, how could I lie to you?"
Ah Ce clenched his fist and said, "Thank you for helping us get revenge!"
Lao Mo said, "By tomorrow morning at the latest, the Shentu family will definitely find out what happened. What are you going to do?"
A Ce said: "...will the Shentu family know who did it?"
Lao Mo said, "What do you want to do? Are you going to hand over your benefactor?"
A Ce said: "Of course not! I was thinking, if it wasn't so easy to find out, could we just pretend we didn't know..."
Lao Mo said, "The people who came to see you today are all relatives of my Mo family and yours."
"The Shentu family likes to blame others for their actions. They won't tell anyone about this kind of thing. Don't worry."
Ah Ce nodded. "I'm very confident in all of you uncles, but I'm a little worried if we run into the Shentu family searching for the murderer again. My benefactor doesn't seem like someone who would tolerate being bullied..."
This is because they are worried that Xia Chujian will have another conflict with the Shentu family's guards.
Lao Mo thought of Xia Chujian's skills and thought, this is really possible...
He had never seen anyone with such great ability who could endure being bullied by those beasts!
Lao Mo pondered and said, "Then hide her well and don't let her confront those people from the Shentu family."
"Let's wait and see for now. If the Shentu family doesn't have any clues, we'll just pretend nothing happened."
"If the Shentu family links this matter to you and Xiao Mo, leave this village immediately and go to the royal city to find me."
A Ce nodded and said, "I understand, Dad. If the Shentu family really comes to arrest us, I will take Xiao Mo and that benefactor to the royal city to find you."
Lao Mo said a few more words before turning and leaving.
A Ce watched his back disappear into the night before closing the gate.
At this time in his new house, Xiao Mo was preparing a bowl of dumpling soup for Xia Chujian.
Xia Chujian could see it, so she took out the best food she had and made a bowl of dumpling soup for Xia Chujian.
Xiao Mo couldn't help swallowing a few times.
This is the kind of food she only eats during the Chinese New Year. It is made of pure grains and is not mixed with wild vegetables.
Xia Chujian only ate one noodle dumpling and pushed the bowl of soup to Xiao Mo.
Xiao Mo opened his eyes wide: "Why don't you eat it? Is it not tasty?"
Xia Chujian pointed to her stomach, made a "full" gesture, and then motioned Xiao Mo to eat.
The chopsticks she used were still brand new and she didn't put them in her mouth, so the remaining dumpling soup was still very clean.
Xiao Mo understood what she meant and blushed.
She didn't expect that this benefactor was full after eating only one noodle dumpling...
Is it really because she didn’t cook well?
Xiao Mo couldn't help but scoop a lump of dough with a wooden spoon and put it into his mouth to chew carefully.
How delicious!
It was full of the rich aroma of wheat, a little salty, and a little bit of oil and meat that she secretly added.
All these things put together are really a rare delicacy for a girl like Xiao Mo who has been eating rice bran and wild vegetables all year round.
She had eaten more than half of it without realizing it and couldn't stop.
When she stopped, A Ce had already come in.
He saw Xiao Mo eating with his eyes narrowed, while the benefactor just sat next to him, looking at Xiao Mo with a smile.
A Ce was also a little embarrassed.
But he couldn't bear to let Xiao Mo eat it.
Seeing A Ce come in, Xia Chujian nodded at him.
A Ce sat next to Xiao Mo.
Only then did Xiao Mo realize that A Ce had returned, and also that he had eaten most of the bowl of noodle dumpling soup.
She hurriedly said, "Ace, are you hungry? Eat all the remaining noodles..."
