Chapter 247
247 Little Ah Yu Vomited Blood
The donkey cart was handed over to Wang Chuanman to transport the food, and the carriage was returned to the Qin Family. Previously, in order to find that horse, the people of Hu Family Village had spent half their effort.
Later on, they were found by the Qin Family whom Village Chief Hu and the others were grateful towards.
Otherwise, if they lost such an expensive horse, their family would suffer a huge loss.
On the surface, they had found and brought the horse back, but in reality, Chi Ding and the others who had brought the horse back were speechless.
They felt very guilty.
Now, Old man Wang refused to use the Qin Family’s carriage no matter what.
Moreover, if they went to the mountain village and were seen by those villagers, their family’s carriage might attract some rumors.
Old man Wang could not bear to buy such a luxurious mode of transportation, but the path he had to trek was too far and he had to bring along many things. It would probably take two to three days to go back and forth which would delay things too much.
After thinking about it, Old man Wang went to the livestock farm. It specialized in selling all kinds of livestock.
When the shopkeeper saw Old man Wang go over and recognized him as the father of the shopkeeper of the Wang Family Steamed Bun Shop, he immediately smiled until his lips reached the corners of his eyes.
Smiling, he went forward to greet him.
Fifteen minutes later, Old man Wang walked out with a mule cart with a smile.
“Boss, didn’t you sell another mule cart? Why do you look unhappy?” The young man beside him was a little puzzled.
The shopkeeper rubbed his temples with an aggrieved expression. “I didn’t expect an honest person to bargain so fiercely. I almost made a loss!”
The young man: “…”
Looking at Old man Wang’s back as he walked out, he silently put down his hand that was about to buy a sheep.
“Uncle, please wait!”
Shopkeeper: “?”
After another 15 minutes, the young man followed Old man Wang out with a sheep beside him.
The shopkeeper, who had inexplicably lost a sum of money, held his chest and did not speak for a long time.
He had to take a break.
Old man Wang happily drove the mule cart to the village. Little Ah Yu also took advantage of the last day of the farming break to bring her group of friends to the teacher’s house to play.
Mr. Yang had also taken a portion of the wildflowers Little Ah Yu had given him back then. But he did not expect the fruits to look so tempting after the flowers bloomed.
Mr. Yang did not know if the fruit was edible, so he treated it as an ornamental plant.
Usually, the children did not like to go to Mr. Yang’s house, but Little Ah Yu liked to look for Yang Liu. The others liked to be with Little Ah Yu so, regardless of whether they were going to school or not, Mr. Yang’s house was very lively.
On this day, a former student from Mr. Yang’s family came to visit him.
Seeing Little Ah Yu and the others playing at the side, she was surprised.
She thought to herself, “Looks like the teacher’s temper has changed a lot. Otherwise, the children would definitely not come here.”
Seeing her look at Little Ah Yu, Mr. Yang could not help but smile. “Although Ah Yu is young, she is very sensible and smart. She is much smarter than many of her senior brothers and sisters.”
Unfortunately, she was a girl.
Mr. Yang had sighed regretfully many times because of this.
“Is that child really that good?”
Mr. Yang smiled at her and called Little Ah Yu over from afar.
“Ah Yu, come, recite the ‘Ode to the Goddess of Luo’ for me to hear.”
When the student heard this, her eyes immediately widened. This child looked to be only two or three years old, but she could actually memorize such a complicated article?
Little Ah Yu was very obedient. When she recited, she stood on a slightly higher place.
Her small hands were behind her back. She imitated Mr. Yang and swayed her head.
“…Leaving the capital
To return to my fief in the east,
Yi Barrier at my back,
Up over Huanyuan,
Passing through Tong Valley…”
Little Ah Yu’s words were already becoming clearer and clearer. Only when she encountered some difficult words, would it take a little more effort.
Mr. Yang was very satisfied. The surrounding kids were also very supportive.
The student who came to visit had long widened her eyes in shock.
The sunlight fell and shone on Little Ah Yu’s face, her slender eyelashes trembled slightly as she recited.
Even the Spirit Treasure Rat that was moving on the ground seemed to be attracted by Little Ah Yu’s serious appearance.
Everything was so beautiful.
Until Little Ah Yu’s face suddenly turned pale. She covered her neck with her hands and coughed violently.
She cried out and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The little child could no longer stand still and fell off the platform.
Everyone was shocked.
“Ah Yu!” Mr. Yang wanted to catch Little Ah Yu.
Unexpectedly, a person suddenly appeared and hugged Little Ah Yu firmly.
Chi Tu looked down. Little Ah Yu’s eyes were already tightly closed, and her face was pale. Even her breathing had become weak.
What’s wrong?!
“Who are you?!” Mr. Yang looked at Chi Tu warily.
Chi Tu did not answer Mr. Yang. Instead, he coldly said to the frightened Tang Yuan, “I’ll send her back to the Wang family. Go and get a doctor!”
When Tang Yuan heard this, she ran out.
While Tang Yuan went to look for the doctor, Chi Tu had already used his lightness skill to carry Little Ah Yu back to the Wang Family.
Seeing Little Ah Yu’s state, Liu Shi almost fainted.
“What’s going on?”
The others were also extremely nervous.
When Tang Yuan ran to look for the doctor, she was seen by Madam Zhang. When she found out that something had happened to Little Ah Yu, Madam Zhang could not care less about the shop. The couple handed the shop to Cai Niu and rushed back to the Wang Family.
At this moment, Little Ah Yu was in a nightmare.
In her dream, she was in a somewhat unfamiliar and familiar place. It was a slightly dilapidated courtyard.
There were all kinds of vegetables planted in the courtyard, and a kitten was jumping up and down.
A young woman was leaning against the door frame, holding a needle and thread in her hand and sewing something.
When Little Ah Yu saw the woman, she suddenly cried.
“Who are you?” Little Ah Yu blinked. For some reason, she really wanted to call that person Mother.
The woman smiled lovingly and slowly approached Little Ah Yu.
Step after step.
As she walked, her appearance gradually changed. Her hair turned white, her face turned purple, and her pupils turned dark.
Her outstretched hand turned to bone.
“Ah Yu… Ah Yu…” This woman, who had gradually become terrifying, spoke sinisterly. “It’s all your fault. Come down and accompany me!”
Little Ah Yu’s eyes widened as she stood rooted to the ground. For a moment, she did not know how to react.
At this moment, in the distant Xie Manor in the eastern neighboring county, in the middle of an abandoned courtyard, there was an altar.
A woman in black held a bowl of blood in her hand and muttered around the altar.
A little further away, a girl about 13 or 14 years old was holding a handkerchief to her nose.
“Are you sure this will work?” The girl frowned and looked at the woman in black in distrust.
“Exchanging a life for a life is a forbidden technique to begin with. It will take more time. Miss, don’t be anxious.” The woman in black’s tone was very cold.
At this moment, beside them, there was another little girl lying on a wooden board, as if she was asleep.
It was as if she had no idea what was happening around her.
“It wasn’t easy for me to find this person. Don’t mess it up. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee that I can find another one.”
“Miss Xie, if you really don’t believe me, we can stop now. However, you can only bear the consequences yourself.”
With that, the woman in black placed the bowl in her hand heavily on the altar, looking like she couldn’t be bothered to continue anymore.
When Xie Dongzhu heard the woman in black’s words, she gritted her teeth in hatred.
Unfortunately, the woman in black was the only person she could find. Otherwise, she would never allow herself to be threatened by her!
