Chapter 85
85 Going Home
When Wang Chuanman and the others left, the Liu family had yet to start feeling unwell, so he was only a little puzzled that none of his wife’s family members had come to send them off.
“Father and Mother might be busy. Don’t be sad.” Wang Chuanman was stupid and could only comfort his wife like this.
Liu Shi vaguely knew what had happened and only shook her head. “I didn’t think too much about it. Don’t worry. Let’s hurry up or it’ll be dark when we return.”
She still had to tell her mother-in-law about this. She was someone without decision making abilities. She still had to listen to her mother-in-law’s opinion on such matters.
Little Ah Yu was still sitting on Wang Chuanman’s neck, her two small feet shaking. She did not know that her kettle of water had caused the Liu family to break through the toilet door.
The Wu family was a kind family. When Wu Xiaomei suddenly fainted, they naturally did not blame Little Ah Yu. They even brought some gifts, wanting Little Ah Yu and the others to bring them along to eat.
Unexpectedly, they’d left too quickly and they did not make it in time.
That night, Wu Xiaomei suddenly woke up from her sleep. She sat in the dark room and did not know where she was.
After being muddle-headed for a long time, she finally woke up.
Soon, she realized that she had been divorced and had returned to her family.
Her two children.
Suddenly, she felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach and subconsciously touched her abdomen.
“Child, are you still there?” Wu Xiaomei muttered.
Soon, all her consciousness returned, and she recalled the past that made her suffer.
Tears gathered on her face into a quiet stream.
She gritted her teeth tightly to resist the urge to slash someone with a knife.
She had so much hatred in her heart!!
No one realized that her eyes were already filled with hatred.
She will return to Shanyang Village sooner or later!
She thought of the little girl who had told her not to be unhappy.
If her daughter had grown up, she would definitely be as cute, right?
“Xiaomei?” The old woman vaguely heard the commotion and sat up in shock. She hurriedly shouted towards Wu Xiaomei.
“Mother, I’m fine. Go to sleep.”
“Oh, oh.” The old woman closed her eyes.
In the next moment, the old woman’s eyes widened.
“Xiao Mei, you’re fine?!!”
Late at night, the Wu family was in chaos again.
Speaking of which, Little Ah Yu and her parents had been traveling for four hours. As it was already dark when they arrived at the mountain pass, they had no choice but to travel in the dark.
Fortunately, the path was familiar. However, they still walked very slowly.
Little Ah Yu was already sleepy. Liu Shi unbuttoned her coat and wrapped her entire body in it. She hugged her firmly to prevent her from freezing.
At this moment, Little Ah Yu was not really asleep. Instead, she was farming in the spatial pocket. She and Meatball gathered all the ripe harvest in the field and placed it aside.
She collected the grain seeds and waited to return them to Old Madam Wang.
Now, going to the spatial pocket to work every day has already become Little Ah Yu’s entertainment.
With Meatball accompanying her, he would tell her some knowledge about food from time to time. Although she did not understand, it did not stop her from thinking that farming was fun.
[Kid, someone is here to pick you up!] Meatball sensed that there was someone in the distance and hurriedly reminded Little Ah Yu.
Little Ah Yu withdrew her consciousness from the spatial pocket and woke up.
She looked up from Liu Shi’s arms and saw something flickering in the distance.
“Mother, Father, is Grandma here to pick us up?”
Wang Chuanman was originally engrossed in traveling. The road was slippery at night, and he had to fend against snakes and bugs. At the same time, he did not dare to make too much noise, afraid that he would attract wild beasts.
Hearing Little Ah Yu’s voice, he looked up and realized that someone seemed to be holding a torch in the distance.
“There seems to be someone, but I don’t know if it’s your Grandma.” Although he said that, Wang Chuanman didn’t think that there’s a chance that his mother would come out.
Suddenly, the sound of a lamb could be heard. “Baa~”
“It’s Little Lamb! Little Lamb is here to pick me up! Mother, Ah Yu wants to walk by myself!”
Liu Shi also sensed the commotion in the distance, but she did not put Little Ah Yu down. Instead, she handed her to Wang Chuanman and lowered her head to tidy her clothes.
Wang Chuanman had just taken Little Ah Yu into his arms when he felt something nudging his leg.
He was so frightened that his hair stood on end. What was it? Was it a snake?!
“Baa ~ ~ ~”
It was the little lamb.
“Little Lamb, Little Lamb!” Little Ah Yu was happy and insisted on getting onto the ground.
As soon as Wang Chuanman placed her on the ground, the lamb let Little Ah Yu sit on its back. As soon as Little Ah Yu sat on it, the lamb ran away.
“Ah Yu!” Liu Shi sensed that Little Ah Yu had left and hurriedly shouted.
“Mother, I’ll go home with Little Lamb first! Walk slowly, don’t fall!” Little Ah Yu shouted.
The other group of people who came to pick them up heard Little Ah Yu’s voice and shouted.
...
“Has Chuanman’s family returned?”
“I heard Ah Yu’s voice!”
“Let’s go, let’s go over quickly.”
It turned out that the villagers had heard that they would be back today, but when it was dark and they did not return, they sent a few young people to wait at the village entrance.
They were afraid that there would be wild beasts, snakes, and bugs on the way. They even had children with them!
In the end, they really managed to wait for them.
By the time they all gathered together, the little lamb had already galloped to the village entrance with Ah Yu and ran back to the Wang family.
Old Madam Wang had already gotten someone to boil hot water. Seeing that Little Ah Yu had returned first, she did not ask about her parents.
She carried her down from the lamb and said to Wang Dalang, “Give the lamb a pancake. It’s been hard on it.”
Tonight, everyone baked more pancakes. Before Wang Chuanman and the others could return, they ate them first.
There was a pancake in the lamb’s stone bowl. It jumped over very skillfully and chewed on it.
...
When Wang Chuanman and his wife slowly returned home, Little Ah Yu had already washed up and eaten her pancakes before lying down on the bed.
After Wang Chuanman and his Liu Shi finished their pancakes, Liu Shi took the opportunity to tell Old Madam Wang about her family.
She did not tell her everything. She only said that Little Ah Yu had given the special water to the people from her family.
Also, she told her how Little Ah Yu had discovered that someone had fallen into the well.
“If I remember correctly, Sister Xiao Mei should have married into Shanyang Village. I heard that she seems to have been divorced recently.” Liu Shi was a little worried. “Will Ah Yu be troubled by the people of Shanyang Village?”
At the mention of Shanyang Village, Liu Shi felt a little uncomfortable.
Although they had heard that many villages outside had done the act of eating children, the only village they knew and saw doing this was Shanyang Village. Moreover, the people in their village were extremely vicious and wanted to capture Little Ah Yu.
Old Madam Wang said, “What right does their Shanyang Village have to cause trouble? Don’t think too much. Go to sleep. As for your family, if they ask you anything in the future, just say that you don’t know. Take it that Ah Yu is helping you be filial.”
The water on Little Ah Yu had a special ability. Old Madam Wang only realized this after.
Previously, she felt that she had forgotten something. Now that she thought about it, it was the water. Ah Yu had also given it to her family to drink before.
At that time, the entire village had diarrhea. It must have been because there was this water in the soy milk.
From the looks of it, the water could not only be used to grow food, but also to treat illnesses and even make one’s body stronger.
She suspected that Lord Zhang had drunk Ah Yu’s water, which was why he was able to recover so quickly.
Also, the person saved in Yongding County must have drunk the water given by Ah Yu as well.
But why did Ah Yu save him? Why did she know that the water could save him?
If she took out the magic water, would anything bad happen to Ah Yu?
There were too many things to think about.
Just as she was thinking, Old man Wang came over. “Old woman, what are you thinking about? You’re so lost in thought that you didn’t even hear me talking to you!”
Old Madam Wang was shocked by Old man Wang. Without thinking, she slapped his butt with the iron pliers in her hand.
“Why aren’t you sleeping at night? Are you pretending to be a ghost?! Are you trying to scare me to death so that you can marry a mistress!”
Old Wang rubbed his butt with an aggrieved expression. “...I’ve been talking to you for some time, how am I suddenly scaring you?”
“What can’t wait until tomorrow? Go away. I can’t sleep when I see you.”
“It’s good that you can’t sleep. Then let’s talk about tomorrow’s baking of the bricks! I originally planned to bake them a few days later, but the two people who are building a new house beside us are quite anxious to start living in the new house. Tell me, what should we do?”
Old Madam Wang gritted her teeth. “You don’t let me sleep in the middle of the night. Do you believe that I’ll make you lie on the wooden board today!”
Old man Wang: “...”
Didn’t you say that you couldn’t sleep?
