Chapter 28: The Wild Hen Rushed into His Arms

Wang Yu’s eyes lit up when he heard Liu Zhaodi say this.

He saw Liu Zhaodi pull out an egg from her dirty sleeve and gave it to Wang Yu.

Wang Yu took the boiled egg. Although he was a little disgusted, he quickly peeled it and put it in his mouth.

Wang Yu looked at Liu Zhaodi, “Do you have any more?”

Liu Zhaodi shook her head, “This was my grandma’s secret stash for Yaozu.

I secretly took it. I thought you must be tired these past few days, so I wanted you to replenish your body.

Also, Yun Nian’an seems to have changed. You have to be careful of her.

Besides, Yun Nian’an is not a good person. She has a lot of tricks up her sleeve.

Yu brother, you have to be careful. And don’t let Grandma Wang go to the Yun family again. Look how the Yun family bullied Grandma Wang.

Oh my, even I, an outsider, feel sorry for her.”

Wang Yu nodded when he heard Liu Zhaodi say this, “I know. You’re the best.”

He then turned and left.

Liu Zhaodi’s mind was filled with Yu brother saying “You’re the best.” She knew it! With her beautiful appearance and her diligence, Wang Yu would definitely choose her in the end. How could that fool compare?

Yun Nian’an didn’t know what was going on in Liu Zhaodi’s mind. Otherwise, she would have rolled her eyes.

That crooked, twisted gourd, only Liu Zhaodi thought he was good.

…

After everyone had eaten, the village head said that they would rest in the city for the night and continue their journey early tomorrow morning.

Everyone cheered when they heard the village head say this.

They thought that they could finally get a good rest. It was better than being outside.

The next morning, everyone quickly continued their journey. They walked and stopped along the way. Yun Nian’an fed the Yun family.

Yun Laotai pulled Yun Nian’an aside and whispered, “Nian’an, when did you boil these eggs? I didn’t know.”

Yun Nian’an thought, I prepared the boiled eggs in my space. How would you know?

But she thought for a moment and whispered to Yun Laotai, “Grandma, you forgot I have an immortal master.

My master gave me a treasure bag.”

She patted the cloth bag she was carrying.

Yun Laotai looked at the cloth bag Yun Nian’an was patting. It looked ordinary.

Besides, that cloth bag was made by someone in the family. How did it suddenly become a treasure bag?

Yun Nian’an didn’t care what Yun Laotai was thinking. She continued to pull out many boiled eggs from the cloth bag.

Then she said to Yun Laotai, “This cloth bag can hold a lot of things. As long as I want to put something in, it can hold a lot!

Alright, Grandma, let’s go. I’ll tell you more about it later.”

Yun Laotai nodded, “Dear one, keep this a secret from the family. Don’t tell anyone else. And don’t tell your brothers either.

Especially Yun Qingyu, he’s young, and he might blurt it out.”

Yun Nian’an nodded obediently.

As dusk approached, the village head saw a dilapidated temple not far away.

He said to the large group behind him, “There’s a dilapidated temple ahead. Let’s rest there tonight.”

Everyone responded in unison.

When the village head led the way, everyone quickly covered their children’s eyes.

Yun Laotai did the same, covering Yun Nian’an’s eyes.

Her heart was pounding. Yun Laotou said to his family, “Go, go, go!”

Yun Nian’an had already seen the scene. The entrance of the dilapidated temple was filled with the bodies of slaughtered refugees.

Each person’s death was particularly gruesome. Some women had been violated.

Fortunately, they arrived a little late. Otherwise, their fate would have been no better than the dead refugees.

Yun Laotai looked at Yun Laotou, “If we continue to walk forward, will we encounter the people who killed these refugees?”

Yun Laotou shook his head, “The bodies must have been there for a while. If they were going to leave, they would have gone far by now.”

The village head called out to the people behind him, “Come on, come on, keep moving forward. We’ll rest in that bamboo forest. This place is no good.”

Everyone heard this and quickly walked towards the bamboo forest that the village head mentioned, carrying their children.

When they arrived, everyone started to clear a small area. After they finished clearing it, they started to set up their stoves to prepare dinner.

Yun Nian’an had just sat down on the cloth that Yun Laotai had spread out when a white figure flashed past.

Yun Nian’an instantly recognized it as a large white rabbit. Yun Lao San also saw it.

Although he was a little confused, he thought, how could there be such a fat rabbit in such a desolate place?

But even though he thought this, he had already rushed out, chasing after the white shadow.

Before he had gone far, he saw the rabbit dive into a hole.

Yun Lao San looked at the ground where the rabbit had gone. It was a cracked area. He looked inside and saw five or six fat rabbits.

Yun Lao San quickly grabbed the rabbits. After he caught them, he thought that there were more in the hole.

He quickly untied his belt, tied the legs of the rabbits he was holding, and then continued to catch the rabbits in the hole.

He caught five rabbits before he stopped and weighed them in his hand, “Not bad, not bad. We can eat rabbit for the next few days.”

When Yun Lao San came back, everyone saw him carrying a bunch of rabbits and their eyes widened in shock.

Yun Laotai saw her third son coming back, full of energy, his chest puffed out, and several fat rabbits in his arms.

She couldn’t help but widen her eyes and stood up from the ground.

Yun Lao San put the rabbits on the ground and said to Yun Nian’an, “Dear one, look, Father caught you some rabbits. We’ll have braised rabbit tonight.”

Yun Nian’an nodded. Yun Laotou couldn’t help but chuckle. He thought, it was as the old saying goes, our dear one is a lucky star after she woke up.

Otherwise, with so many people around, only Yun Lao San saw it and rushed over.

He rushed over thinking he would catch at most one rabbit, but he ended up stumbling upon a rabbit burrow.

Yun Laotai saw her old man laughing there and couldn’t help but poke his face.

“What’s wrong with you? Are you stupid? Why are you giggling here by yourself?”

Yun Laotou whispered, “Look at our dear one. Doesn’t she look like a lucky charm?”

Yun Laotai heard her old man say this and seemed to think of something. They exchanged a glance and said nothing more.

The family was discussing how to eat the remaining rabbits when a wild hen suddenly darted out from somewhere and crashed into Yun Nian’an’s arms.

Yun Nian’an couldn’t care about how it happened. She quickly hugged the wild hen that had rushed into her arms.

Yun Laotou and Yun Laotai were stunned. They had thought that their dear one was a lucky star.

Although it might have been just a psychological suggestion, now, the wild hen, in plain sight, didn’t charge at anyone else, it went straight into Yun Nian’an’s arms.
