Chapter 43: Those Who Can Be Envied by Heaven
The dust has settled.
Wei Da looked at the waterwheel deeply, asked no questions, and led his men to clean up the mess first.
The wounded must be treated, the prisoners must be gathered, and the refugees who surrender must be counted.
Every detail must be taken seriously.
It would be best if the eldest daughter of the Shen family could return safely, which would also save me a lot of trouble.
It was just that when dealing with these things, Wei Da couldn't help but feel a little dazed, as if everything was just happening too smoothly...
It was as if someone was forcing "supplies" into his hands.
The war situation in Chiling was intense. Although there was no forced conscription, the nearby towns were always short of manpower.
Now that we have people, I believe that food can be grown again sooner or later.
Xue Yongan was not so self-aware.
He never considered himself a county magistrate at all. He had no intention of preserving himself, nor did he have any plan to win over the people.
With all his heart and eyes, he was only thinking of that little girl who was walking towards him leisurely.
"Wait, you better stay away from me first."
Chen Chunxing raised his arm, rejected Xue Yongan's approach, and pinched his nose in disgust.
"How much blood has been sprayed out? I'm saying, can you change your habit of slitting your throat?"
Xue Yongan immediately threw away the dagger in his hand and took half a step back innocently.
"I'll definitely do it next time... I just can't find a weapon that suits me..."
Shen Mingqiu stared at the dagger, speechless. He picked it up with a cloth wrapped around it, turned around and applied eye drops to Xue Yongan.
"My elder sister worked so hard to save up her money and asked Uncle Tie from the neighboring village to help her make this sword. There is only one of these in the world, and you took it away to use it, but why don't you cherish it and waste my elder sister's efforts?"
The eight-year-old child's portrayal of the heartbreak was so moving that it moved people to tears.
Xue Yongan...his hands curled up unconsciously.
I really want to get that dagger back!
The sweet thoughts should be treasured by yourself.
Unfortunately, Shen Mingqiu seemed to see through his thoughts. After making his complaint, he turned around and ran towards Diao.
"Grandma, I still think it's inappropriate for my sister to be Magistrate Xue's maid... huh?" As he approached, he realized something was wrong and glanced at the cart in surprise. "Where's Little Fourth?"
Diao's nose is not a nose, and her eyes are not eyes. "You ask me, who should I ask? This stupid boy, wait until he comes back, and see how I will deal with him!"
The implication of his words was that he was not too worried.
Thinking of the criticism that his eldest sister had given to the youngest, Shen Mingqiu quickly regained his composure.
No matter what happens to anyone in his family, he will not be affected. Those who are envied by God will also be blessed by God.
"Only one hand was cut off?"
Over there, after listening to Xue Yongan's retelling, Chen Chunxing showed a hint of interest.
"If I really took an arm, it would at least complete the cause and effect. The girl was angry in words, but she was merciful in her actions... It seems she didn't want to let the matter go." Xue Yongan pointed at the male ghost floating above his head and lowered his voice slightly. "I can probably guess why you sent him here, and now it's as you wish. Did you also lure the girl here?"
"Family feuds and old grudges are no small matter," Chen Chunxing looked at the pool of blood on the ground with an indifferent look in his eyes. "Sister Lan has a strong character and can accomplish great things. Her fortune lies in the north, so we may have to deal with each other in the future."
"This departure will be like a fish entering the sea or a dragon emerging from the sky for the two of them. It's not a bad thing."
Some people are destined to struggle forward in harsh environments, becoming more and more courageous as the battle goes on.
And in the north, there is a best place - Liuren City.
But it is too early to talk about this now, and Chen Chunxing is not 100% sure that they will meet again in the future, it will just be a coincidence and a matter of course.
"I'm glad to know that you know it in your mind." Xue Yongan easily skipped the topic and did not ask any more questions.
The two have been partners for many years, and it has always been her making plans and him suppressing them with thunder.
He has never lost since his debut.
Now that I am a human again, I think it should be no exception.
Chen Chunxing smiled, a rare hint of tenderness in his eyes. He told Xue Yongan to change his clothes, and took Yang Yi into the woods next to the teahouse.
"There's nowhere else to go nearby. He can't... be killed by those wild boars... or by the tigers... Oh, go and get him back for me! Otherwise, don't expect me to believe your crazy talk again!"
That being said, how could they really leave a three-year-old child alone outside?
Diao was always partial to the eldest maid, followed by the fourth youngest, and she urged and yelled at them to leave.
"If you say anything more, your harsh and dignified image will be in jeopardy..."
Chen Chunxing nodded towards the group of exiles and went into the woods before Diao Shi could slap him.
Following the wild beast's footprints, they soon found the sleeping little fourth child under a tree.
The silly child curled up his whole body, kicking his feet from time to time, as if he was fighting with someone in his dream, and there were some suspicious milk stains at the corners of his mouth.
Yang Yi looked back, his eyes confused: "Tigress?"
Chen Chunxing covered his face.
She really can't see this!
Just as he signaled Yang Yi to pick up Chen Yandong, he saw two dark shadows suddenly jump out from behind the tree.
Yang Yi stood in front of Chen Chunxing and reached out to grab him, but unexpectedly, he also missed the target behind him.
Two black shadows appeared on either side and landed directly on the surface of his shoes.
"This is..." Chen Chunxing hesitated, "A caracal?"
The round little ball of fur, coupled with a cute face, she found it hard to mistake her.
As for the one next to it, it is even more suspicious.
Its entire body is orange-yellow, and from a distance it looks like a small orange cat. Up close... it's still a small orange cat! Except for the word "王" stubbornly written on its forehead.
The two little guys blew on the straw sandals a few times, but got no response. They gradually calmed down and actually sat on Yang Yi's shoes and licked the fur.
Chen Chunxing stared at it for a while and finally found something wrong. He picked up the little orange and gently rubbed its forehead hair. It was indeed covered in dust.
After wiping it clean with his sleeve, "King" suddenly became "Three".
The corners of her mouth twitched involuntarily.
Want to laugh.
But I held back.
Little Orange started throwing meow punches like crazy, hit himself in the face with one punch, and fell back onto Yang Yixie with a howl.
Chen Chunxing...I really couldn't help myself this time.
She picked up the little orange again and threw it at Little Fourth. She asked the startled child, "Tell me the truth, where did you kidnap him from?"
Chen Yandong rubbed his eyes and found that it was his elder sister who came to look for him. He immediately rushed over happily, hugged Chen Chunxing's arm, and tried to explain.
"Cat!"
"Drink milk!"
"I, at most, boss!"
This time it was Yang Yi's turn to curl his lips.
"If I understand correctly, he's saying that if you win the sucking contest, you'll be recognized as the boss?"
Whose milk do you drink? Of course, the tigress.
The most amazing thing is not that the fourth child was not swallowed by the tiger, but how the two cats recognized the tiger as their mother?
And he ate such a big tiger and made it escape from the territory...
Unfortunately, this will remain an unsolved mystery.
The caracal curled up into a ball with its body pressing on its two little feet, looking very cute. But as soon as Chen Yandong took a step forward, it immediately followed, as if it had recognized its master.
After a brief thought, Chen Chunxing waved his hand and said, "Pack it up and take it away!"
