Chapter 18 The Concubine's Daughter Enters the City



"Brother is gone?"

Wei Ci, who had just woken up, had her long hair hanging down her back and her white cotton nightgown fluttering in the wind. She stood there looking at her second brother with a resentful look, as if she was about to cry.

Wei Qingfeng's scalp tingled, and he immediately raised his hands in surrender: "Don't cry! It's not that we didn't tell you on purpose. They left at two in the morning, and you had just fallen asleep at that time. Big Brother didn't want to wake you up."

Wei Ci suppressed her emotions in an instant: "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

After saying that, she wanted to continue floating back to her room to sleep, but the next second, someone grabbed her by the back of the neck. Before Wei Ci could protest, Wei Qingfeng's bewitching voice rang in her ears: "Aci, do you want to go to the county to play? I heard there are a lot of good things in the supply and marketing cooperative."

Wei Ci's struggles paused. County town? Supply and marketing cooperative?

Bits and pieces of memories seemed to squeeze out of her mind like toothpaste. Wei Ci nodded hurriedly and raised her hand to indicate that she wanted to go.

The last time she traveled through time and escaped from the human traffickers, she had no mood to stroll around when she returned from the county. Now that she had money and tickets, of course she wanted to take a good stroll.

When the brother and sister hurried to the village entrance, a tractor was parked there quietly. Four or five aunts with headscarves, thin bodies and sallow complexions were sitting scattered on the truck bed. Aunt Wei San was also there.

After not seeing her for a few days, she looked even darker and thinner, with a thick gauze wrapped around her head. Her once pretty facial features were now filled with harshness, and her eyes were almost filled with poison when she saw them, the brother and sister.

Wei Ci rolled her eyes, pretending not to see Third Aunt Wei's expression. With a sweet smile on her face, she leaned forward and said, "Third Aunt, how come you've become so wasteful after not seeing you for a few days?"

Everyone: What do you mean?

Wei Ci's head was held down, and behind her, Wei Qingfeng pretended to blame her: "Don't say things that people can't understand. I'm sorry, Auntie San. Ah Ci meant to say that you have become old and ugly in the past few days."

“Puff~”

The others couldn't help laughing, but then they saw Aunt Wei's face turn ashen and her laughter turned back to normal. She just kept shaking her shoulders, obviously unable to hold back her laughter.

"You uneducated little bastard!"

These past two days, Wei Qingshan, that damned bastard, had given her a severe beating. Aunt Wei San didn't even dare to curse loudly. She could only grit her teeth and curse the three sons of the eldest wife in her heart.

"Is Qingfeng taking his sister to the county?"

The only one among them, the aunt with a round face, short hair and bangs tied with red wool, helped pull Wei Ci into the tractor: "Sit next to me. There's a fertilizer bag under me, it's soft."

Wei Ci, who had just been cursing in a roundabout way, nodded with a sweet smile, sat down without any hesitation, and waved for her second brother to come and sit over.

Wei Qingfeng waved his hand and thanked his aunt: "Thank you for taking care of Ah Ci, Aunt Hua. I'll just sit in the front."

He touched Wei Ci's head, signaled her with his eyes to be obedient, and then sat directly next to the tractor driver in front. From his expression, it was clear that they knew each other and seemed to have a good relationship.

Several people in the car turned their eyes to Wei Ci, looking at her openly or secretly, with ambiguous expressions. The daughter of the eldest wife of the Wei family had been stupid for fifteen years, and they heard that she suddenly returned to normal. They thought it was all fake, but now they see that what they heard was not necessarily false. Now her eyes are clear, and her every move is more beautiful than those city girls. They couldn't help but sigh.

"Can a fool really become a normal person?"

Hearing the murmur, Wei Ci looked over and happened to meet the scrutinizing gaze of the aunt opposite.

Wei Ci pursed her lips and smiled: "If monkeys can become spirits, why can't I return to normal?"

The woman opposite was stunned, clearly not understanding what she meant. Monkey? Who? Monkey King?

Aunt Hua chuckled and patted Wei Ci's hand. Why was this child so mischievous? She finally understood the roundabout way of cursing.

The auntie opposite has a pointed face and is dark, thin, and has some buck teeth. At first glance, she really looks like a monkey.

Wei Ci looked innocent and didn't say anything.

"If your parents could see you back to normal, they would be so happy..."

The sigh was drowned out by the rumbling sound of the tractor. A gruff voice came from the front of the vehicle: "Everyone sit tight, the tractor is moving. If you don't hold on quickly, don't blame me if you fall off the road!"

At first Wei Ci didn't care, but half an hour later, her body was numb, her buttocks were in pain, her stomach was churning, and her face was pale.

Why can she ride in an ox cart, a horse cart, or a donkey cart, but not this metal cart?

He secretly drank several mouthfuls of spiritual spring water, and only then did his turbulent internal organs calm down.

"How are you? Are you okay?"

Aunt Hua held her with concern. She knew that motion sickness was an uncomfortable feeling. The first time she rode a tractor, she wanted to vomit out all the leftover food she had eaten the previous night. Ah Ci was still lucky, at least she didn't vomit.

Wei Ci became listless and leaned against the wall to relax. The corners of her eyes were still slightly red, and she waited for her second brother to come over with tears in her eyes.

"Aunt Hua, I'm fine. Go and do your own thing. My brother is here."

Aunt Hua didn't come to the city to play this time. She came with the village to buy the fertilizers needed this year. The team leader was still in a meeting, and she would be scolded if she went late.

After saying goodbye to everyone, Wei Qingfeng led the Wei Ci siblings towards the supply and marketing cooperative. There was no sign of the discomfort they had just felt from behind, but rather a sense of joy.

In the dim alley, two men were smoking and staring at the brother and sister, with ferocious expressions on their unshaven faces.

"Seventh Brother, are they the brother and sister the woman was talking about?"

As he spoke, he put out his cigarette and raised his chin, motioning him to look at the conspicuous brother and sister.

The man called Lao Qi raised his head, and his vicious eyes like snakes and scorpions looked at the brother and sister with bright smiles and delicate features. He touched his cheek with the tip of his tongue, tasted the blood, sneered, and his hoarse voice was like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, full of coldness.

"That's them. Didn't you hear someone on the same bus call them Wei Ci and Wei Qingfeng?"

From this point of view, the woman should be the culprit who caused his elder brother to be arrested, and the man should be Wei Qingfeng, Wei Ci's brother, whom the woman mentioned.

I had thought I would have to make a special trip to arrest them, but I didn't expect to get them without any effort. These two actually came to the county town without any hesitation, which made things convenient for him.

"Notify the other brothers and tell them that the woman who got them arrested has been found. Find a way to kidnap her and her brother. You can do whatever you want with the woman, but if you cripple the man, throw him to those bastards of the Beggars' Sect to break his limbs and leave him to beg for food!"

When the seventh brother thought of his eldest and second brothers who were sentenced to death, he was filled with hatred and his eyes were red. He didn't expect that he would be pecked in the eyes by sparrows after hunting geese for years, and most of his brothers were caught. If they hadn't run another line at that time, they probably wouldn't have escaped this fate. How could the culprit be let go?

Biting the cigarette butt hard with his teeth, Lao Qi smiled resentfully, "Don't blame them. If you want to blame someone, blame her for having a good cousin. Otherwise, they wouldn't know how to find out what's happening in the police station."
