After marrying the hunter, he became more and more abnormal

Chapter 323 Departure

Seeing that his uncle was suddenly unhappy, Xiao Anyu was confused and at a loss for a moment.

I thought carefully whether I had said something wrong just now, and after reviewing it, I realized that I had not said anything wrong.

Unsure Xiao Anyu stammered a few times, not knowing how to answer.

Realizing that his cold tone might have frightened the child, Xia Mo sighed and restrained the coldness in his eyes.

"Uncle is not angry with you, but with those bastards. Angry at them for treating you and your grandfather like that."

The child instantly wiped away the timidity in his eyes.

"They didn't dare to hit Grandpa, who was a scholar. They only dared to bully me when Grandpa wasn't looking, but I fought back."

Although the consequence of fighting back would be getting beaten even more, he would not allow them to curse his grandfather!

Xia Mo was extremely surprised. He didn't expect that the widower mentioned by the inn waiter was actually a scholar.

No wonder, no wonder the child can still retain this pure kindness. The person who enlightens people’s thoughts is indeed the most important.

This scholar is quite extraordinary as he was able to withstand the pressure and adopt little An Yu under such circumstances.

It is precisely because of his identity that those people need the benefits brought by the other party's identity, that is, exemption from land tax, so even if they are afraid of Xiao Anyu, they dare not drive Xiao Anyu away.

This is also why little An Yu was immediately expelled from the village as soon as the old scholar died.

In just a few seconds, Xia Mo integrated and analyzed the information, and admired this scholar from the bottom of his heart.

He looked at the child and said, "That's good. But if you encounter problems that you can't solve in the future, you can tell your uncle and don't let yourself suffer."

The child was stunned.

Later? Tell uncle? Does uncle mean they will keep in touch in the future?

Xiao Anyu's heart was pounding, but he didn't dare to ask more questions. He just hummed softly.

Then he changed the subject: "Uncle, are there really monsters in this world?"

"Who knows? If you believe it, it exists. If you don't believe it, it doesn't exist." Seeing that the child didn't want to talk about it, Xia Mo stopped talking about it.

"But Zhu Bajie is different from ordinary domestic pigs. He looks wilder, has sharp fangs, holds an iron rake in his hand, and can transform into a human."

Xiao Anyu listened attentively, exclaimed softly, and then asked: "Does the monster eat people?"

"Hmm... I should eat it. Speaking of Zhu Bajie, before he was reincarnated, he was a Marshal of the Heavenly Peng, which means he is a god."

"Marshal Tianpeng!" The child opened his mouth slightly and raised his tone.

"Yes, because he violated the rules of heaven and molested a beautiful fairy, he was banished to the mortal world and accidentally reborn as a pig."

"Can gods make mistakes?" Xiao Anyu's eyes opened wide, with an expression of 'I'm very interested and I want to listen' written all over his face.

Sure enough, there is no child who doesn’t like to listen to mythological stories. For some reason, Xia Mo thought of Tiedan, the king of children.

In fact, it is a good idea to tell stories to children. In this way, if the children are willing to go back to Liujia Village with them, they will have common topics to talk about with Tiedan and the others.

Xia Mo prepared for a rainy day and did just that.

"No one is perfect, and gods will make mistakes too. Not to mention gods, even you, Uncle Liu, and I, Uncle Ling, will make mistakes, but we must know our mistakes and correct them, which is the greatest virtue. Little An Yu, do you want to hear the story of Zhu Bajie?"

"I want to listen!" His grandfather had told him many stories before he passed away, but most of them were about reminding him not to forget his original heart.

"Then let's sit down and talk?" Although he was asking, Xia Mo had actually already led the child towards the table and chairs.

"Yeah!" Xiao Anyu sat upright like a little fan.

"Once upon a time, there lived a beautiful fairy named Chang'e in heaven..."

Here, they are telling stories.

On the other side, Liu San told Ling Chuan in detail what kind of carriage Zhao Xier took, which route she took, and how many people were traveling with her.

"Boss, what should we do next?" Liu San asked.

Ling Chuan's eyes darkened. "Let's act together. Don't reveal your identity. Just take down that woman. As for those people, don't harm their lives unless absolutely necessary."

Although kidnapping Zhao Xier ruined the other party's plan, he still wanted to leave a way out for himself. Even for his younger brother, he didn't want to be involved in too much murder.

As for whether their plans would be hindered after getting rid of Zhao Xier, that was not something he could control.

Liu San was infected by the man's cold eyes and raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay, then let's go now?"

"Wait a minute, Mo'er will also go. Are there any of our people here besides you?" Ling Chuan asked again.

Liu San, who didn't understand his intention, shook his head and said, "No, the brothers have all gone to track them down. Does the boss have any other instructions?"

Ling Chuan frowned and looked at him thoughtfully.

After thinking for a few seconds, he said coldly: "There is indeed something I need you to do. Did the kid see it just now?"

"Yeah." Liu San responded, and then guessed, "Do you want me to investigate his background?"

In fact, he was also quite curious about the child's origins. He had heterochromia, and it was the first time he had seen such eye color. However, due to his status, he was too embarrassed to ask.

As the saying goes, don't ask too much about your elder brother's affairs. He knows clearly what he should and should not do.

But now that the boss brought it up himself, it was exactly what he wanted.

However, the stern boss denied it. "No, I already know the child's background. If nothing unexpected happens, he will go back to Liujia Village with us. What I need you to do is to watch him while Mo'er and I go to meet that woman."

Liu San was shocked. They wanted to take him back? Could it be that the boss and the master were planning to adopt the child?

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Ling Chuan glanced at him with a dark look: "Don't want to?"

"Ah, no, no, I'm just a little surprised."

The main reason is that this is too unbelievable, Liu San complained in his heart.

The old man is nice, but also cold. Adopting a child is not something he would do.

Thinking about it carefully, maybe it was the master's idea? Although everyone was saying that the master was a smiling tiger, but that was all aimed at the enemy.

Seeing that he was distracted, Ling Chuan was too lazy to explain anything, "Then I'll leave this to you."

"Okay..." Liu San agreed, hoping that the child would not be difficult to take care of.

So, with the couple's tacit agreement to recruit able-bodied men, Liu San stayed in the inn to look after Xiao Anyu.

They followed the route Liu Sanzhi pointed out to chase Zhao Xier who had already left the city.

On the way, they encountered a fork in the road. Fortunately, the brothers had left someone behind to show them the way.

We were just chasing all the way, but finally the sky suddenly became cloudy and it gradually darkened.

With a loud bang, purple lightning flashed across the sky, and soon after, heavy rain began to fall.

Tap, tap, tap. Raindrops as big as beans fell freely, hitting the flowers, trees and loess roads hard. In a few minutes, the world was blurred by the rain.

Whether it is the space or the raincoat stored in the space, Xia Mo cannot use them directly if there are outsiders present.

As a last resort, they had to take shelter from the rain in the pavilion.

At this time, about a hundred miles away from Lingyun County, a horse-drawn carriage escorted by several people was swaying forward on the muddy road, making squeaking sounds from time to time.
