Chapter 49: Past or Present
After Yu Qing's salvation, all the dead souls, including the "briefcase man", successfully entered the underworld.
The space around them changed and distorted, and when their vision became clear again, they were already standing on a grassland.
Just like in the story told by Yu Qing, the grassland, which forms a golden dividing line with the horizon, looks vast and boundless, and the air is fresh.
Yin Yusheng was stunned, looking at the surrounding scenery in a daze.
He suddenly looked up. The midday sun was pouring down, making his body feel warm and he broke out in a light sweat.
"What's so good about the sun? Why don't you hug me?"
The soft and tender voice of the little fox came into his ears with a hint of coquettishness. Que Qiaosheng lowered his head and saw a fox's paw hooked on his trouser leg.
The little fox looked at him arrogantly.
He pondered for a moment, bent down and picked up the little fox, only to find that Qin Zhi had already walked to Yu Qing, so he also walked over there.
I just happened to hear Qin Zhi ask Yu Qing a question.
“Even the grasslands are affected?”
Yu Qing was wearing a thin sweater and holding a cup of lemon black tea that he didn't know where he came from. He took a small sip.
"You can think of it as a second dimension. The grassland we are in may be the past, or it may be the present."
In the past or now...it's hard to tell.
Yin Yusheng's heart, which had just calmed down, began to beat wildly again. "What do you mean? They've all been liberated, and there's still a problem around here?"
He couldn't help but look around, but he didn't see anything that looked like a ghost.
"Kurobuta will protect you."
As Yu Qing spoke, an ambiguous emotion flashed across his cold brows.
Yin Yusheng curled his lips, "She's the only one who protects—Ouch! Why are you tickling me?"
There was a scratch on the back of his hand, and it hurt so much that he almost threw the little fox away.
Walnut snorted coldly, "If you beg me, I will reluctantly help you heal your wounds. Otherwise, it will be poisonous~"
Yin Yusheng's face froze. Poisonous, is that what he meant?
He who knows the times is a hero!
He didn't give in.
"Sister, no, beautiful little fox, is it okay if I'm wrong?"
"That's more like it."
The little fox stuck out its tongue and gently licked the back of his hand.
Yin Yusheng's expression was stiff, and his hands felt slightly hot and itchy, a feeling he couldn't describe.
Qin Zhi glanced at him coldly: "You are useless."
Yin Yusheng: ???
…
"Are you friends from afar?"
The three of them, including Kurumi, looked in the direction of the sound.
A child dressed in Outer Mongolian clothes, riding a grown horse, holding the reins, was blinking his dark eyes and staring at them.
There was clearly no one around just now. Could it be possible that a horse could come here so quickly?
While Yin Yusheng was puzzled, he quietly moved closer to Yu Qing.
The child sneered, his eyes mocking: "Coward."
Who are you calling a coward!
Yin Yusheng wanted to argue with him, but he was not that stupid and could only curse him in his heart.
Anything wrong or any person wrong should be left to Yu Qing to deal with.
Yes, she said the little fox would protect him, and he had seen the abilities of the vixen.
Thinking of this, I didn't seem so scared anymore, but I tightened my arms around the little fox.
It was rare for the little fox not to sneer at him.
The child blinked and suddenly smiled, "Are you looking for a place to live?"
Although he was smiling, there was a hint of malice in his smile.
Qin Zhi put one hand in his pocket, the breeze blew up the corner of his clothes, and a cold air emanated from his whole body.
At the side, the milk tea cup that Yu Qing had finished drinking was crushed with a "crunch".
"Yeah, if your house has a place to sleep, we can pay for it."
The child's eyes lit up when he heard her words, but he pretended to be indifferent and said, "It doesn't cost much. Abu and Eji will welcome you very much."
He disguised himself as a kind herdsman, and most people really didn't think there was anything wrong with the child.
After all, he looks only seven or eight years old.
…
The child rode a horse in front to lead the way, and the three people and the fox followed on foot.
On the way, Yu Qing chatted with him for a few sentences. Although the kid's IQ was not high, he actually got some general information.
His name is Wu Enqi, he is eight years old and just moved to his current location from his residence a few kilometers away half a month ago.
Abu (father) is Arisleng and Eji (mother) is Ajili.
In addition to the three of them, the family also raised ten dairy goats and a horse.
Wu Enqi's family is considered poor on the grassland, and he rarely leaves home.
He said: Abu was always busy, so Eji was alone at home, doing a lot of work, which was very hard, and she never went to school.
While they were talking, half of the white 'dome' could already be seen in front of them.
As I got closer, I heard the bleating of ten sheep penned in a wooden pen outside.
A woman who looked to be in her forties or fifties stood nearby, carrying a stainless steel bucket.
She must have just finished milking the goat, so she closed the wooden fence and turned around.
"Eji!"
Wu Enqi rode away on his horse, jumped off the horse and ran to the woman.
I couldn't hear what the two of them said at this distance, but I saw the woman look over here and then nod.
Wu Enqi ran back again and said, "Eji said there is no place for you to stay at home, but her friend's house has one. She will take you there after dinner."
"but--"
He paused here and didn't continue.
However, after receiving no response for a long time, Wu Enqi frowned and looked unhappy.
Why are these three so stupid?
It's so obvious to him, don't you understand what it means?
Yin Yusheng was already on guard, not being curious and not wanting to be alone, so of course he wouldn't say anything.
Qin Zhi has a solitary and cold personality, and he's not the type to take the initiative to make friends.
Wu Enqi looked at Yu Qing who was in the center, and intuitively felt that she was the one with the final say.
Pursing his lips, he asked her, "How much money are you going to give me?"
His face was calm, but his red earlobes betrayed his inner feelings.
Yu Qing nodded: "How much do you want?"
"Give as much as you like, but don't give too little!"
Wu Enqi said, turning away embarrassedly, "Come with me."
Yu Qing followed and asked, "Do your Abu and Eji know that you are collecting money?"
Wu Enqi didn't pause, his face didn't blush, and his heart didn't beat: "Of course I know!"
He glanced at me and warned me again, "Don't tell anyone!"
Yin Yusheng complained in his heart: Those who lie to others will get the devil.
The little fox nestled quietly in his arms, with its eyes closed, and seemed to have fallen asleep.
Wu Enqi took them into the reception area. Perhaps because he wanted to make some money, he also specially prepared three bowls of milk tea.
It was at this time that Arisleng came back. When he saw the three people, his brows furrowed.
It seemed like they were not welcome at all.
He left without even saying hello.
Wu Enqi said embarrassedly: "Abu is just like this, don't mind it."
He didn't want them to leave in anger because of Abu.
That money is very important to his family.
