Chapter 82 Four Joyful Events
The weather turned gloomy again; it looked like it was going to rain.
There has been a lot of rain this year, and it's not even the rainy season yet!
Fortunately, the vehicle was fully equipped.
Lu Qingqing took out a tarpaulin and tied it to the roof of the car in advance.
"Hurry up and go, if you're quick, you might get home before it rains."
Si Xi raised his little whip.
"Auntie, I learned a few kung fu moves from Uncle Mo Lang at the county government office today." His voice was very excited.
Learning kung fu was once his primary dream.
Now it's second.
"Really? That's great! If he's willing to teach, you can learn from him."
By the way, did your grandma find the dog?
"I found a little black dog, that's alright, at least it can bark a couple of times."
"Put a mousetrap at the door before you go to bed, don't forget."
"I know, Auntie."
The two chatted idly as they hurried home.
Behind them, a larger carriage carrying the master and servant was also hurrying home.
Halfway there, a sudden gust of wind arose.
The person driving the carriage was changed to Lu Qingqing.
Two or three men suddenly appeared in front of us.
They waved their arms and shouted, "Stop! Stop!"
"What are you doing?" Lu Qingqing asked loudly.
She simply slowed down slightly so that she could accelerate at any time.
"Buying peaches? Are you still buying peaches?"
Lu Qingqing then noticed that there were several baskets of peaches placed by the roadside.
When the three men looked at the people in the carriage and saw that there was only a young girl and a child, they became bolder and tried to forcibly stop the carriage with a carrying pole.
Congcong was a little startled and veered slightly away.
"Get out of my way! I'm not buying! Giddy up—"
Lu Qingqing flicked her whip and charged straight at the three of them.
"Ugh—you brat!"
"You bought so many peaches from Old Xu, why can't you buy ours too! We can give you a discount!"
The three of them shouted and chased after the carriage.
One person grabbed the shaft of the cart and tried to climb up.
Si Xi hit his arm with a pry bar.
The man screamed and fell to the ground.
"Si Xi! Well done!"
These bastards dare to force us to buy and sell, thinking we're easy targets!
Unbeknownst to the two men, two others climbed up from the back of the car.
By the time they were discovered, they had already reached the front of the vehicle.
It was too late for Si Xi to hit him again with the stick; one of them had already taken the stick away.
"All I asked you to do was buy some peaches, and you dared to hurt someone! Let me tell you, this matter cannot be left unresolved today!"
"Go to hell!" Sixi glared at him, punched his stomach, and kicked his groin in one swift motion.
This is the three-hit combo that Mo Lang taught him today.
Although I wasn't very skilled, my eye-gouging was a bit crooked, my stomach-pounding was a bit weak, and my groin kick was too slow and my foot got caught, I still managed to make the person scream.
However, the other person was also provoked and grabbed a car pry bar to smash Si Xi.
"Congcong! Run along the road!"
Lu Qingqing threw down the reins, turned around and kicked the man.
She snatched the stick, expressionless, and struck the two people repeatedly with it.
Suddenly, there was a cacophony of howling ghosts and wolves.
"Stop hitting him, stop hitting him..."
"I won't let you buy peaches anymore!"
...
"Xiangzi! Hurry up, let's see what's going on up ahead!"
On the carriage that came running from behind, the master and servant looked at the swaying carriage in front of them and a farmer who fell off the carriage, puzzled.
They weren't bandits, and the carriage in front didn't slow down either. What happened?
The man named Xiangzi suddenly exclaimed, "Young master, look! A female ghost!!!"
Finally, people appeared on the carriage ahead.
A woman stands at the front of the car.
The wind howled wildly, and strands of hair flew in the wind.
His face was completely covered, and in the dim light, he looked like a black snake dancing wildly.
She really does look like a female ghost!
"Wow—" Xiangzi exclaimed again.
The female ghost threw a person off the carriage while carrying him.
Then, another one.
A female ghost commits murder?
"Young...Young Master..."
"It's her..."
The young master he was referring to stared intently at the car in front of him, as if he were in a daze.
The wind changed direction, lifting the hair that had been covering the girl's face, revealing a fair complexion, unrestrained and dashing.
A girl's resounding, arrogant voice carried on the wind: "Going to heaven and earth, I'm wild as a madwoman! Ask around and find out who my mother is!"
Anyone who blocks the way will have their legs and feet broken! *Smash!*
The person lying on the ground, beaten until their body looked like it was falling apart... You're my mother!
I've never seen such a ruthless village girl.
How could she possibly be a country girl!
Old Xu is a big liar! He even said that little girl was so kind and lovely...
fraud!
She's clearly a shrew!
And she even brought along a little demon!
Taking advantage of the vastness of the sky and the howling wind, Lu Qingqing stood with her hands on her hips and shouted without any restraint. Only after she finished shouting did she realize that there was a carriage behind her.
Wow!
There was someone there.
I didn't hear it, I didn't see it...
"Congcong, run!"
They sped along.
As soon as we reached the village entrance, large raindrops began to fall.
Lu Yun ran up from under the big tree, carrying a raincoat.
"Thank goodness, you came back just in time and didn't get wet."
"Second Uncle, don't worry, there's an oilcloth and a raincoat on the vehicle, we won't get wet."
"Who's worried about you guys!"
Lu Yun gave a shout and covered the horse with a raincoat.
Si Xi: "..."
Lu Qingqing: "..."
"Go in, go in, I'll catch the carriage."
The 200-meter stretch from the village entrance to my home was now driven by Lu Yun.
When I got home, Old Man Lu had already prepared ginger soup and hot water.
Although they only got a little wet, Lu Qingqing and Sixi still drank a bowl of ginger soup.
Old Man Lu told Sixi to stop the rain before leaving, but he put on his raincoat and ran out, skipping and jumping, and even deliberately stepped into the puddles.
Oh, they really are just kids!
"Luckily, I set up the stables yesterday," Lu Yun said thankfully.
With the stables installed, there was absolutely no space left in the yard.
Lu Feng used so much wood that it could only fit into their bedroom.
“Dad, we’re going to build a big house,” Lu Qingqing said.
She now has eight hundred taels of silver left, after deducting the capital she needs to buy medicinal herbs.
That's enough to build a house, buy land, and open a clinic.
Old Man Lu looked at the swallows under the eaves.
The little swallow has left home, leaving only the old swallow couple.
Some swallows breed once a year, while others breed twice.
The first brood is in May, and the second brood is usually in June or July, which is coming soon.
"Why don't we expand it? If the people leave, the swallows will leave too."
Four auspicious events: swallows build their nests, magpies visit the hall, loyal dogs come of their own accord, and withered trees come back to life.
Swallows are one of the four auspicious creatures.
Building a nest in a home symbolizes the arrival of good fortune.
Harmony, peace, and prosperity.
Such fine swallows cannot be taken away.
Lu Qingqing smiled and said, "Okay, Dad's word is final."
