Chapter 894: Chapter 894
"Little Shitou, have you been fighting again?"
Xiaoxiao was really worried about this child. Fighting every few days, how could this go on? Xiaoxiao grabbed Little Shitou, rolled up his sleeve, and asked anxiously, "Let Auntie see. Where are you hurt?"
"Auntie, I’m not hurt anywhere. This time, I listened to you and ran away." Seeing how anxious his aunt was, Little Shitou quickly said.
Xiaoxiao looked and saw that everything was the same as yesterday, no new injuries. She immediately felt relieved, "Good, you did the right thing. We shouldn’t suffer unnecessary losses. If there are many people, we should run when we need to. If it’s just one person and evenly matched, we can fight back."
"Okay." Little Shitou nodded, thinking his aunt made a lot of sense. He liked this aunt, so he explained the reason, "Today, Fat Girl’s family got that strange illness again. They blamed it on me, saying I’m bad luck, and came to beat me. I heard your advice, saw there were many people, so I ran and didn’t fight them."
Hearing Little Shitou’s words, Xiaoxiao frowned. Wasn’t it confirmed not to be contagious? How did someone suddenly get sick again?
"What about the Fat Girl’s family you mentioned?"
"They found out they were sick and went to Medicine King Valley." Little Shitou replied.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Yang Ming’s mind, recalling the suspicious person and incident from the previous night. Could it be related?
He quickly asked, "Little Shitou, where is this Fat Girl’s house?"
"It’s just two houses in front of mine, counting from the east, the third house." Little Shitou pointed the location to Yang Ming and then asked, "Uncle, do you know Fat Girl’s family?"
"Uncle doesn’t know, just asking around." Yang Ming replied, but his heart had already figured out the answer.
Seeing this, Xiaoxiao was afraid something was up and said, "Little Shitou, go wash up. Auntie made something delicious."
"Okay." Little Shitou agreed and went to wash.
Xiaoxiao quickly asked Yang Ming, "Honey, what’s going on?"
Yang Ming looked a bit uneasy and simply replied, "Let’s talk inside."
A moment later, after the food was prepared, Yang Ming and Xiaoxiao returned to the room to check on Little Liufu. As soon as they entered, seeing Little Liufu still asleep, Xiaoxiao asked, "Honey, what exactly is going on?"
Yang Ming had no choice but to share his suspicion, "I suspect the villagers’ strange illness is due to poisoning."
"Poisoning?" Xiaoxiao was very surprised. Who on earth had such a grudge against the people in this village to poison so many of them?
Yang Ming continued, "Last night, I saw someone suspicious putting something into the Fat Girl’s family’s food. I wanted to help throw the food away, but it woke up the family. Afraid of being discovered, I ran straight back."
Hearing that Yang Ming almost got caught last night, Xiaoxiao was extremely worried, "Why didn’t you say anything last night?"
"I returned safely. Saying it would have worried you."
Xiaoxiao pouted, "From now on, you can’t hide anything from me."
"Alright, alright, nothing hidden. I’ll tell you everything, even about eating, drinking, and sleeping."
"Pfft!" He was still in the mood to joke with her despite such a big issue. Xiaoxiao grew worried again and asked, "Honey, do you think, with the villagers getting sick again, the Village Chief might come with people to confront us?"
"That’s hard to say. Let’s wait and see what happens." ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ 𝗇𝗈𝗏𝖾𝗅•𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝗇𝖾𝗍
