Chapter 120 I’m here to see you off
"Xiaodie, why aren't you sleeping?" Daxing's wife looked at her husband dumbfounded. They left very quietly, and it was already the late night. How could a little brat stand here instead of sleeping?
Miao Daxing was also puzzled, but he was more worried that Ding Xiaodie would ruin their plans, so he lowered his voice and said, "Xiaodie, it's... it's you, why are you here?"
"I'm here to see you off, Uncle Daxing." Ding Xiaodie walked over with a smile.
"Send us off. How did you know we were leaving tonight?"
"Of course I know. Nothing about you escapes my eyes."
Ding Xiaodie's confidence gave Miao Daxing a chill. Although the little girl in front of him was so young, she seemed inexplicably unfathomable.
At this moment, both of them were confused and didn't know what to say.
Ding Xiaodie continued, "When the eldest young master came to the yamen yesterday morning, he also made it very clear that he and his son had gone to the provincial capital and had gone through untold hardships before returning to Yangliu Town, even losing several guards and escaping death.
Right now, Uncle Daxing is taking Aunt and a few children out to die. We're all from the same village, and I'd feel bad if I didn't come and see them off, so here I am!
What?
Is the world outside so scary?
Daxing's wife immediately turned around and glared at him. Didn't they say that everything was fine outside and that staying in town was waiting to die?
Miao Daxing quickly explained: "Don't listen to her nonsense, she is here to laugh at us."
But as soon as he finished speaking, several children started humming.
"Mom, I'm scared."
"Dad, what if we run into desert soldiers when we go out?"
"Dad, can you please not leave?"
Miao Daxing angrily said, "Shut up, everyone! If anyone hears you, you won't be able to leave!"
"No, I can't let the children go out to die." Daxing's wife was very scared. She didn't hear what the eldest young master said, but when she saw him again this time, he was indeed much thinner.
If everything was fine along the way, why would that happen?
The woman suddenly became extremely sober. She quickly pulled the children together and hugged them, then told Miao Daxing clearly: "Dad, let's go back to the house! Mr. Lu has given the village so much food, the children will never go hungry again, let's not leave!"
"That amount of food is only enough for a few days. What should we do then?" Miao Daxing felt that he had no face at all. Both the woman and the child did not listen to him at the same time.
But he wanted to leave.
Don't forget why he was expelled from Yangliu Town by the Lu family. Although he has returned to the village team now, don't think he didn't see it from the way everyone looks at him.
Unexpectedly, the wife retorted, "Let's talk about it one day at a time. Let's wait until there's no food in the village."
Miao Daxing: “…”
The woman who had been servile to him all her life actually turned against him immediately after hearing a few words from such a little brat!
What is so special about Ding Xiaodie?
However, before Miao Daxing could say anything, he heard Ding Xiaodie say, "Aunt, take the children back to the house quickly. If the villagers find you, you won't be able to explain yourself."
There is food and water in the village now. If they hang around here in the middle of the night and are misunderstood, they will be in disgrace.
Daxing's wife nodded in understanding, and hurriedly pulled her children and turned to walk towards the courtyard.
In the night, the moonlight was so dim that I couldn't clearly see the face or mouth of the person one meter away from me.
Dante Xiaodie believed that Miao Daxing, who was silent at this moment, hated her so much that he probably wanted to strangle her to death.
"I said I never wanted to see you again, but since God has arranged a natural disaster, for the sake of my aunt and your children, I won't bother with you."
Ding Xiaodie spoke calmly without fear or hesitation.
This made Miao Daxing stare in astonishment: "You...you little kid..."
"You don't believe it, right? Well, think about it, if I tell the villagers what happened the day before yesterday, what do you think will happen?"
“…”
Miao Daxing couldn't utter a word!
The reason he was kicked out was originally not glorious. If the villagers knew that he had kidnapped Xiaodie, he might never be able to return to Aozigou.
"Xiaodie, give me a way to survive. I can't live without those children, and they need me too." In the end, Miao Daxing still chose to be humble. He had no choice. If he couldn't leave with his family, he would never be able to come back in the future.
Ding Xiaodie stretched out her hand and said, "Opportunities are earned through hard work. If you give me the leaf you've hidden in your arms, I'll keep my promise and never tell anyone about what happened that day, or the fact that you intended to kill me."
"What? You know this too?" Miao Daxing completely collapsed, his eyes widening. "What else don't you know?"
"hey-hey!"
…
Miao Daxing couldn't fall asleep after returning to the house. He squatted in the corner, thinking about what had just happened in disbelief.
He handed the leaf to Ding Xiaodie, and she turned and left without saying a word.
The figure in the moonlight was so small that it was almost negligible, yet it was still elusive.
As he thought about it, Miao Daxing shuddered again.
Thinking back to when he was in Aozigou before, he had never noticed this little girl. Wasn't she a laughing stock for all the kids in the village?
But now, the little girl can even defeat Miao Daxing.
After a sleepless night, Miao Daxing was the first to go find Village Chief Lai Fu at dawn.
Because we all went to bed hungry last night, we all got up early just to have some porridge.
Lai Fu got up early to make a fire and boil water for the sake of the elderly and children in the village.
He sat in front of the stove adding firewood. Miao Daxing squatted beside him and whispered, "Uncle, don't you think some people in our village are weird? I always feel like something's not right."
"Who? Are you talking about yourself?" Lai Fu didn't give him any face and didn't even want to look at him.
Miao Daxing glanced around slyly, then lowered his voice and said, "Ding Xiaodie, the daughter of Ding Gui's family, have you noticed that Ding Xiaodie is very different? She seems to be a completely different person from when she was in the village before. And Ding Gui, he has changed too! His wife Zhang Xiu, when she was in Aozigou, could not even get a cold fart with three punches, and had a bitter face all day long. Now, she sometimes chats and laughs with the women in the village. She doesn't look like Ding Gui's wife at all..."
"Hey, what on earth do you want to say?" Lai Fu became impatient. He angrily threw the tongs in his hand to his feet: "Miao Daxing, let me tell you, now that you are back, you should live a down-to-earth life with everyone. If you have any ideas, you can raise them, but you should do so in front of everyone, instead of sneaking around and complaining to me like this. Besides, I think Ding Gui and his family of three are pretty good. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll kick you out of Yangliu Town again."
