Chapter 62

62 Mission

This was the first time Little Ah Yu had received a candied fruit. She was as happy as ever.

“Grandma, you eat first.” Little Ah Yu raised the candy in front of Old Madam Wang.

“Grandma doesn’t like candy. You eat it.”

Little Ah Yu handed the candied fruit to Village Chief Hu. “Village Chief, do you want some?”

“I don’t like to eat it either. Grandpa Village Chief is old. Only obedient children like you like to eat it,” Village Chief Hu said with a smile.

Little Ah Yu was still unwilling to eat first. She took the candied hawthorn and asked around.

The people of Hu Family Village naturally could not bear to snatch the child’s food. They all shook their heads and smiled, saying that they did not want to eat.

Only then did Little Ah Yu eat it. The first bite was so sweet that her eyes curved. With another bite, the hawthorn melted in her mouth.

“Ah, it’s so sour!” Little Ah Yu covered her cheeks, her tears flowing.

Why was it sour inside?

“Village Chief, Village Chief, the candied hawthorns are bad!” Little Ah Yu raised the candied hawthorns and complained. “You bought the broken ones!”

Village Chief Hu: “It’s not broken. The candied hawthorn is sweet on the outside and sour on the inside. It tastes like this. If it’s not sour, that’s bad.”

At this moment, Little Ah Yu looked at the remaining stick of candied hawthorn in her hand, her eyes no longer filled with happiness.

She even felt a little afraid. Heavens, there were so many sour fruits. She could not finish them all.

No wonder the adults did not like to eat it. Such sour fruits were so sour that their teeth could fall off!

Everyone looked at her and could not help but laugh.

At night, no one dared to leave their original positions, afraid that they would have to queue up again.

All the villagers who came to collect their food rested on the spot.

The nights in early spring were also cold. Fortunately, everyone was squeezing against each other, so they could gather some warmth.

The villagers unloaded the handcart and used it as a hard bed. Two people squeezed onto each cart and slept.

There were a total of four carts, so only eight people could sleep on them. The remaining few people simply put the baskets together and lay down on them to sleep.

Little Ah Yu also lay on the cart and snuggled up to Old Madam Wang. She pointed at the stars in the sky and asked, “Grandma, what stars are those?”

“That’s Vega. In a few hours, the Altair star will slowly rise. There’s also a very beautiful story between them...” Old Madam Wang told Little Ah Yu the story of the cowherd boy and the weaver girl.

Old Madam Wang’s storytelling was not as dry as ordinary people. She would tell the original story more vividly.

Not to mention Little Ah Yu, even the surrounding villagers were mesmerized.

Someone even said, “Old Madam, tell us another story.”

Old Madam Wang rolled her eyes. “The storyteller is telling a story. Everyone, how much are you going to pay the storyteller?”

That person: “...Fine, I won’t listen anymore.”

As Little Ah Yu listened, she closed her eyes and fell asleep. Old Madam Wang hugged her on her side and said softly, “Good child, sleep in peace.”

Little Ah Yu was asleep, but Old Madam Wang was still looking at her.

Old Madam Wang’s gaze was extremely gentle. She seemed to be looking at Little Ah Yu, but also seemed to be seeing other people through her.

No one noticed that on the roof of the county office not far away, a young boy was sitting quietly and watching the harmonious scene below.

Without blinking, he looked at the sleeping little person, as if he was envious of her sweet sleeping face.

Suddenly, he yawned.

He was a little surprised. It had been a long time since he felt sleepy so early.

Moreover, it was in an unfamiliar place.

“Young Master, you’re tired. Let’s go back.” Chi Jia suddenly appeared beside him.

“Yeah.”

Under the lead of Chi Jia, Qin Huai landed in a courtyard behind the county office without alerting anyone.

The next day, the villagers of Hu Family Village finally received their food. Not only were the four carts and a few baskets filled, but there were also more than 20 bags of rations.

It made the eyes of some villagers red with envy.

It looked like a lot, but one had to know that there were more than 700 people in their village waiting to be fed. This bit of food was barely enough.

County Lieutenant Cao brought a few officials out, followed by a donkey cart.

“On account of the merit of protecting the Imperial Envoy, I’ll specially give you a favor this time. I’ll lend you this donkey cart for the time being.” County Lieutenant Cao glanced at them and said, “These government officers will return to Hu Family Village with you and they’ll bring the donkey cart back.”

When the people from the surrounding villages heard this, they came to a realization. No wonder their food supplies looked so much more. So they had saved the Imperial Envoy!

The Imperial Envoy was a good official. Ever since he came, there had been much less work for the people in Yongding County. At the very least, the wealthy villagers on the surface did not dare to oppress the other villagers anymore.

Someone from the other villages smiled and said to the people from Hu Family Village, “You’ve accumulated a lot of merit. If not for you saving the Imperial Envoy in time, we might not have been able to obtain this food now!”

“Isn’t that so? It was only after the Imperial Envoy chased away the corrupt officials that we found out that there was still food for disaster relief!”

“I heard that the Imperial Envoy was hunted down previously because someone knew-” Before the villager could finish speaking, the others around him covered his mouth.

“Do you want to die? You’re saying everything! Don’t talk nonsense here. There are too many people. When people say that you’re slandering and spreading rumors, I think you’ll have to bear the consequences!”

The people from Hu Family Village did not listen carefully to what they said. In fact, they were rushing to send the food back. They would have to walk for a few hours on the way so who knew what would happen?

Yongding County was really too poor. It was precisely because they were too poor that there were also bandits here.

Fortunately, there was an official following them, so they had some confidence.

...

The handcart was already filled with food wrapped tightly with ropes and the villagers had left a spot in the middle for Little Ah Yu.

Now, Little Ah Yu could sit in the small nest in the middle.

[Kid, do you remember when I told you about a mission?]

[The mission conditions have been triggered! Go quickly!]

Little Ah Yu had just climbed onto the cart and sat down when she suddenly heard Meatball’s voice.

Little Ah Yu looked confused. “Ah, what mission? But... we’re leaving.”

[It was triggered just now. Now, in the alley over there, there’s someone who needs the Myriad Spirit Water. Go over quickly.]

[If we don’t go now, it’ll be too late. That person is about to die!]

When Little Ah Yu heard this, she knew that it was very serious. Hence, she hurriedly slid down the cart and went towards the alley that Meatball had mentioned.

Seeing Little Ah Yu suddenly leave the cart, Old Madam Wang hurriedly followed. “Ah Yu, where are you going?”

“Grandma, wait for me. I’ll be back soon!” Little Ah Yu shouted without looking back.

...

“Don’t run around. Come back quickly.” How could Old Madam Wang be at ease? She hurriedly followed Little Ah Yu and called out to her.

Little Ah Yu ran into the alley Meatball mentioned and turned a corner. Suddenly, she smelled a strong smell of blood.

She saw a person lying in a pool of blood. That person was on the verge of death, but his eyes were like torches. When he heard someone coming, his gaze immediately became dangerous.

The hand covering the wound moved to the side and pinched a hidden weapon.

Meatball felt a dangerous aura, but the mission indicated that the other party was the target of rescue. It was a little confused and did not know if it should remind Little Ah Yu.

The main reason was that it had never encountered such a situation before.

Little Ah Yu did not know anything. When she saw that the person was bleeding, she hurriedly ran over.

“Uncle, you’re bleeding. Does it hurt? It must hurt a lot. Boohoo, there’s so much blood.”

When Little Ah Yu saw that the person was still bleeding, she immediately felt pain in her heart. Tears flowed down her face.

For some reason, when that person saw the little kid in front of him crying at him, his grip on the hidden weapon loosened.

It was just a child.

[Give him some water quickly.]

When Little Ah Yu ran over, she had already taken out the water from the spatial pocket according to Meatball’s reminder.

Of course, the water was contained in the bamboo cup that Old man Wang had given Ah Yu.

It was only the size of Ah Yu’s palm and could only hold two mouthfuls of water.

“Uncle, have some water.” Little Ah Yu handed him the Myriad Spirit Water.
