Ch 75: Deep Mountains Have Inhabitants
Su Yunyi had no strength to truss a chicken, could neither kick a dragon above, nor punch a fierce tiger below. He wouldn’t even dare to flick Little Chou Chou’s forehead.
“What kind of look is that?” Su Yunyi changed from flicking her forehead to ruffling her fine hair, full of helplessness, “One of you, one of me, not even enough for the Wolf King to use as a side dish. Why don’t we go home now and call for reinforcements?”
【You’re just scared!】
Su Yunyi said to himself: “It’s not that I’m afraid of your brother, I’m just thinking about your little life. I can run, but with your little arms and legs, are you planning to crawl all the way back?”
【You’re just scared!】
Su Yunyi: “Besides, this is the Jiang Family’s business, it’s not good for us to interfere without permission.”
【You’re just scared!】
Su Yunyi: “……”
Are you done yet!
Fine, he was indeed quite scared. In the remote wilderness, with no one around, what if it was a trap set by someone else? Would they really be foolish enough to jump into it?
He personally preferred to outsmart them and call for reinforcements.
“Chou Chou, your behavior is like that of a reckless man.”
The little child had learned to sneer before she learned to speak. A wild and unruly, evil smile appeared on Chou Chou’s little face, scaring Su Yunyi so much that he wanted to find another place to exorcise her.
Whose little baby smiles so strangely.
【Reckless man, is it?】
【I’ll show you reckless man today! Put me down, I want to climb up myself!】
It’s hilarious, who doesn’t have a bit of backbone!
Su Yunyi didn’t indulge her either, he dropped her on the clean grass and pointed ahead: “Go then.”
Chou Chou was shocked for a moment, then turned back to look at her Second Brother, wasn’t he going to persuade her?
【Th-then I’m really going to crawl?】
Su Yunyi indicated that he really didn’t care at all.
He slightly raised his head to look at the sky, not looking at Chou Chou, his expression casual, “Hurry up and crawl!”
Three rolls, six sits, nine crawls, although he wasn’t married, he had two resentful younger brothers. When they were as big as Chou Chou, they were still two little good-for-nothings!
But he might have forgotten that Chou Chou was a magical baby who had been receiving strength training for a long time.
Although she wasn’t heaven-defying enough to really be able to climb, she could roll fast!
She struggled to wriggle twice on the ground, and Su Yunyi didn’t keep an eye on her, so she went down the slope……
【Goodbye Second Brother, now I’m going to set sail!】
Su Yunyi was wondering what she meant by setting sail, but when he looked down, he was scared out of his wits: “Wo Cao! Where’s my fat sister!”
The sound of small, broken noises entered Su Yunyi’s ears. He looked down and saw a red-clad, fat ball waving her hands as she went all the way down.
What the hell, she’s setting sail now, it’s really a hearty departure.
Su Yunyi couldn’t care about so much, he chased after her in a panic.
“Chou Chou!”
“Chou Chou, slow down!”
He could already imagine how badly he would be beaten when his sister came home covered in injuries. He probably wouldn’t even see the sun tomorrow. Anyway, there were many sons in the family, and losing one of him would still leave three to take care of the elders.
But the precious daughter was only Chou Chou!
“Chou Chou, you can’t have anything happen, otherwise I’ll go with you today.”
【Go where? The wind is too strong, I can’t hear you!】
【Woo-hoo!】
【……】
【I want to fly forward, I want to wait…… Wait a minute! Who are you!】
Chou Chou rolled all the way and hadn’t landed safely when someone grabbed her by the collar and lifted her up. She turned around like a little turtle, trying hard to see who was holding her, but her fulcrum was not right, and she couldn’t see the person’s face after turning around a few times in the air.
Su Yunyi finally caught up. Although Chou Chou had rolled all the way down, she was unharmed except for being a little dirty, not even a bruise. But Su Yunyi was different, he crawled and rolled, and his whole body was as painful as if he had been beaten up.
He didn’t care about himself, and quickly stepped forward to take Chou Chou back from the person who suddenly appeared. He checked Chou Chou back and forth, carefully confirming that she was okay before he breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked at the person who had suddenly appeared, somewhat puzzled, “Who are you? Why did you suddenly appear here?”
“I should be asking you that, why are you in my home?”
◈◈◈
“Your home?”
Su Yunyi sized up the surrounding scene, not expecting that they had actually landed in a field at the bottom of the slope. But there was no joy, instead, it added a bit of strangeness.
Cultivating and planting vegetables in the deep mountains and old forests?
Su Yunyi sized up the girl in front of him. She was about six or seven years old, extremely thin, with sunken cheeks on both sides, looking a bit sickly, listless as if she had been drained of her energy. When she stood there wearing gray clothes, she looked like an empty skeleton.
Deep mountains and old forests, sickly bone girl……
Any combination is strange.
Su Yunyi retreated while holding Chou Chou, afraid that the little girl in front of him would turn into a man-eating monster from a storybook.
【Why is Second Brother so stupid, didn’t he realize that the older sister in front of him looks a bit familiar?】
After Chou Chou’s reminder, Su Yunyi carefully looked at the girl’s appearance.
He actually saw something familiar.
He muttered in a low voice: “She does look a bit like the White Bone Spirit in the storyteller’s book.”
Chou Chou: 【……】What can save her Second Brother with his bad eyesight!
Unnamed Girl: “!!!” Actually, she could hear!
She was just in poor health, not deaf. Who speaks ill of others so loudly?
She picked up a hoe that was thrown aside and pointed it at Su Yunyi: “Leave quickly, or I’ll be rude to you!”
The unnamed girl bared her teeth and pretended to be fierce, but it had no deterrent effect on Su Yunyi at all.
“Little sister, where’s your family?”
The unnamed girl’s vigilance did not diminish, and she glared at him fiercely: “None of your business! Get out!”
In comparison, even if Su Yunyi brought a Chou Chou who was dragging him down, he still had the upper hand. It was normal for him to suddenly appear in a strange little girl’s home and make her scared.
“Sorry, I was being presumptuous. Su will leave now.”
Since Chou Chou was fine, it was better to leave as soon as possible.
But just as he took a step, she called out to him again, “Wait!”
“What’s wrong?”
Unnamed Girl: “Take the fatty inside away too!”
The person inside looked uncomfortable to her. Since someone had come, she should quickly take him away.
Su Yunyi pondered for a moment, Jiang Yuming, who had run away from home, did seem a bit fat.
Chou Chou pursed her lips, wondering what to think. Did her Second Brother not have any reaction at all even now?
He was clearly close to the answer!
【Didn’t you notice that she looks a bit like Brother Yuming?】
Looks like Jiang Yuming?
Su Yunyi was even more confused, looking carefully, she really didn’t look like him……
“Little sister, is your surname Jiang?”
Could she be a relative of Jiang Yuming?
Could it be……
“I know!”
Chou Chou was startled, rolling her eyes.
【You know again?】
Su Yunyi felt that he knew the truth about Jiang Yuming running away from home!
He looked at the unnamed girl with a determined expression, and concluded: “You must be Master Jiang’s illegitimate daughter, and Jiang Yuming couldn’t accept this secret, so he ran away from home!”
Chou Chou: 【……】
Now there’s only one question, did her brother’s academic achievements have any merit?
She felt that he just looked not very smart!
