Chapter 74
74 Like To Play With Little Brother
[His body is very weak, and there’s poison in him.] Little Ah Yu did not know what poison was, so Meatball quickly explained to her.
[It’s just that your body will feel very uncomfortable and painful. Many bugs will bite you.]
[Something that will make one bleed a lot and die in the end.]
Little Ah Yu was shocked.
Qin Huai saw the little girl looking at him and suddenly became like a wooden person.
Did he scare her?
However, in the next moment, the little girl’s warm hand suddenly covered his.
She even put down her beloved little flower basket.
“Little Brother, are you in a lot of pain?” Little Ah Yu leaned close to Qin Huai, as if she wanted to see where he was hurting.
Qin Huai narrowed his eyes.
How did she know that he was in pain?
A four-year-old child who was deliberately raised like a two-year-old child to make people lower their guard…
Qin Huai instantly thought very far ahead. He even thought that if he strangled this little girl to death now, what other moves would they make?
The little girl was too weak. Her slender neck was like a tender bamboo shoot in early spring, as if it could be broken with a pinch.
Meatball felt a dangerous aura, but before it could warn Ah Yu, the aura suddenly disappeared.
[Huh? A mistake in judgment?] Meatball was confused.
However, before Qin Huai could think of anything, Little Ah Yu had already held his hand up and blew at his palm.
“Ah Yu will blow on it for you and it won’t hurt anymore!”
Actually, what Little Ah Yu was thinking was that since Little Brother had a very, very terrifying poison, she would give him some water to drink. After drinking the water, it would not hurt anymore.
The elf said that the Myriad Spirit Water could treat many illnesses.
However, the elf also said that she could not tell others about the water in the future.
This was because Grandma and Mother already knew. If more adults found out, Grandma and Mother would be sad.
If she shared too many secrets with too many people, it would not be a secret anymore.
In that case, she would stop talking and just give the water to the little brother to drink.
Meatball felt that Ah Yu’s thinking was very wrong.
[Kid, you can’t give your water to others so casually. It’s very precious.]
Little Ah Yu did not understand. “Why not? I gave my Uncle and that bleeding uncle the water before.”
[That’s different. They’re related to your safety. Saving them will be good for you.]
The hint Meatball received was that those two people were good for Ah Yu.
After saving Zhang Zhan, their village was spared from a disaster and food.
They had saved another person, but they did not discover any benefits for the time being, but there would definitely be some.
As for this strange little boy, Meatball did not receive any hints. It could not even see through his feelings towards Ah Yu.
Perhaps because this person was about to die, his favorability was useless. The favorability system could not be bothered to test it.
[Kid, look, you gave your water to your family because they treat you very well. Giving it to the villagers is also fine as they also treat you very well.]
[There’s no benefit in giving your water to this person. He didn’t give you anything, and he doesn’t treat you well.]
“Little Brother is also very good to me!” Little Ah Yu replied to Meatball in her heart. Her little hands held Qin Huai’s hand even tighter. “Look, isn’t he very nice?”
Qin Huai wanted to pull his hand back and stared at Little Ah Yu coldly. “Let go.”
Little Ah Yu said in her heart, “Elf, look, Little Brother doesn’t talk to anyone but me!”
[…]
It suspected that Ah Yu’s intelligence had been swallowed back.
Little Ah Yu really felt happy. She could sense that her Big Brother did not hate her.
The little brother rarely spoke, but he had already spoken to her.
[You…] Meatball felt that it was a long story.
Coincidentally, Chi Jia returned with a big tree as thick as a bowl on his shoulder.
He shouted from afar, “Young Master.”
Behind him, Hu San was also carrying a tree, but it was even thicker than his one.
They were preparing to build a house between Old man Wang’s house and Hu San’s house.
The Hu family’s house was too dilapidated, and the living conditions were not good.
Chi Jia used the power of silver to buy a piece of land in Hu Family Village to build a homestead.
They could build houses or live here, but the houses still belonged to the village and they would only have the right to live here.
Village Chief Hu felt that this was not bad for their village, so he agreed.
Wang Chuanman carried firewood and passed by the Hu Family. When he saw the big tree that Chi Jia was carrying, he was extremely surprised. “Are you building a house?”
“Chuanman, you came at the right time. This brother might not be used to rough work and can’t carry much. There are two more trees in the back of the mountain. Carry them back with me.”
Wang Chuanman said, “Alright, I’ll bring the firewood home first.”
They were going to be neighbors in the future, so it was fine to help.
Wang Chuanman saw Little Ah Yu and asked her, “Ah Yu, why are you here? Where are your brothers? Why isn’t anyone with you?”
The adults at home were all busy, so they asked Wang Wulang, Wang Liulang, and Wang Qilang to look after Little Ah Yu for a long time.
This was how poor families raised their children.
Teaching the eldest child to raise younger children.
In the future, all the children would be taken care of by the older children.
Wang Chuanman too was brought up by his eldest and second brothers.
“Fifth Brother is helping Ah Yu farm the land.” Little Ah Yu counted with her fingers. “Sixth Brother is helping Ah Yu pick fruits, and Seventh Brother is helping Ah Yu pick the field snails. They’re all so busy!”
When Wang Chuanman heard this, he thought that they were indeed a little busy, but he did not know if they were busy for Ah Yu or if they were just playing around.
When Chi Jia saw Qin Huai looking at him, he hurriedly said, “Little Miss please play with our Young Master!”
He had followed Young Master since he was born. Others might not know, but he understood that although Young Master looked cold on the surface, he actually liked this little girl very much.
Otherwise, they would not have spent so much effort to find this village.
He said that he wanted to beat his enemies at their own game and investigate what was different about the little girl.
But it was all because he liked this cute little girl.
Even a heartless person like him felt that this little village girl was extremely cute.
No matter how deep Young Master’s thoughts were and how much he wanted to hide his thoughts, he was only six years old now. He would only turn seven in a few days. Perhaps he could barely hide it from the people on Madam’s side, but he could not hide it from him.
Wang Chuanman waved his hand. “Tsk, we’re just a group of bumpkins. How can the kid be worthy of being called Little Miss? You can just call her Ah Yu.”
He was still afraid that his daughter was too weak and could not be raised well. How could he dare to give her noble titles?
What if his daughter’s fortune was used up too quickly just by calling her that!
With that, Wang Chuanman asked, “Ah Yu, do you like to play with this brother?”
“Yes!” Little Ah Yu said softly, “Father, don’t tell Fifth Brother and the others. Ah Yu likes them too! They’ll be unhappy if they find out that I’m playing with Little Brother here.”
Wang Chuanman thought to himself, How could those naughty monkeys be unhappy? They might even want to play on their own too.
Little Ah Yu stayed beside Qin Huai to play, and Wang Chuanman went to help move the wood. The others in the village who were free also came to help.
Because they were new, Chi Jia was too embarrassed to let them help for free. Every villager who came to work would be given 10 copper coins a day.
With money, everyone worked even harder.
Those who cut trees, those who looked for stones, and those who mixed mud.
At noon the next day, the villagers who had returned from cutting trees in the mountain suddenly carried back a bloody person.
Everyone quickly sent the person to Doctor Hu.
Chi Jia’s heart skipped a beat as he asked, “Is that someone from our village?”
A villager replied casually, “No, that person even said his name before he fainted. It’s quite strange. What’s his name? Don’t you think this name is strange?”
Beside her, Qin Huai was silently watching Little Ah Yu squat on the ground and play with the flowers on the ground. When he heard this, he was silent for a moment.
“Blood Rain Pavilion.”
It was an assassin organization under the Church of Sinister Wind.
