Chapter 157: Taking Master to Dongshan

Yu Song never came back, and Yu Sanlang and Yu Hongdou were worried for half the night.

The next day, at dawn, Yu Hongdou, who had been sleeping restlessly, got up, opened the door with Qian Sanmei and prepared to go out for a run.

The first thing I saw when I opened the door was the village chief standing guard at the door, leaning against it.

“Grandpa village chief! Ouch, why don’t you knock on the door?” Yu Hongdou supported the staggering village chief, and her nervousness for her brother was half relieved.

The fact that the village chief was able to wait patiently for the door to be opened proved that the situation was not that critical and his brother was naturally safe.

“It’s okay, I’ve just been here for a while, and I’m afraid I’ll scare you if I knock on the door rashly.” The village chief waved his hand, and when he saw Yu Sanlang walking out of the main hall, he hurried to greet him.

“Let’s wait a moment.” Yu Hongdou signaled Qian Sanmei to wait, and followed her to the main hall, but she did not go in, but just stood on the corridor outside the main hall.

Qian Sanmei looked at the door of the main hall, then at the young lady, then turned around silently and went to the kitchen to pour tea.

The village chief looked at Yu Sanlang, opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, tears started falling. The corners of his mouth twitched, and he trembled for a long time without uttering a word. He simply bent his legs and knelt down.

“Uncle Gao! What are you doing?” Yu Sanlang was startled and hurried to help.

“Third brother, it’s all thanks to your Xiaosong, otherwise I would have to see my son die before me.” The village chief burst into tears and finally cried out loud after stumbling over his words.

“Uncle Gao, Hongyang is just confused for a moment, he will definitely figure it out later. Don’t cry first, tell me the situation so I can take care of it.” Yu Sanlang still didn’t know what was going on with his son.

“Hey~” The village chief was helped up and sat down, just as Yu Hongdou walked into the house with the hot tea brought by Qian Sanmei.

“Last night… I was stunned at the time. Xiaosong grabbed me and said… Later, Hongyang… they went into the city together. Xiaosong said they would be able to catch the opening.” The village chief didn’t care about Yu Hongdou who didn’t leave after delivering the tea, and started telling her about what happened last night.

When Yu Hongdou heard that her brother had captured the two men alone, she felt both proud and worried.

Brother, are you being a little reckless? What if Li Ru has an accomplice behind the scenes? Don’t forget that the man who kidnapped her came with Li Ru.

Well, I’ll have to let Uncle Shang teach him a lesson later.

Hearing her brother comforting the village chief, Yu Hongdou’s mouth curled up again. Her brother was truly both wise and brave.

Originally, she heard her teacher tell her during dinner that she wanted to paint a rosy skull to give to Uncle Hongyang, so she thought she could keep the painting.

Yu Hongdou knew that her teacher, who was crazy about painting, was awesome, but it was not until the Dragon Boat Festival that she learned from Teacher Shang how amazing her teacher Wen was.

That painting is truly worth a fortune. To put it bluntly, one of Teacher Wen’s paintings is worth as much as Yu Wangzhai’s entire fortune.

“Xiaosong is still young, and he does things a little rashly. Uncle Gao, please don’t be offended, but he did one thing right. Don’t let the sins of adults affect children. Niu Niu is so smart, don’t let people like that get involved.”

After listening to the village chief’s words, Yu Sanlang nodded. His son had really stood up. Even he might not have thought so thoroughly.

He has the same idea as his son, but also a little different.
He has seen that few children have been born and grown up in the village in recent years. If it were in the past, he would definitely not care or pay attention.

Now that his identity has changed, he has unconsciously gained an extra responsibility. If possible, Yu Sanlang still hopes that Niu Niu can grow up healthily and add another young and strong force to Taoyuan Village.

If not…

Yu Sanlang withdrew his thoughts and smiled at the village chief. That might make him feel sorry for Uncle Gao.

“Hey, third brother, don’t worry. I didn’t even tell the truth to your aunt. I only said that we caught a thief last night and injured Niu Niu’s mother. Hongyang asked Xiao Song to help send the thief and Niu Niu’s mother to the city.” After sending his son and Yu Song away last night, the village chief thought about it over and over again. It always felt strange that he, as a father-in-law, used the excuse that the child’s mother was seriously ill.

Moreover, Hongyang and his wife had such a quarrel, so this excuse made it sound like Hongyang had done something to his wife.

The village chief suddenly had an idea and came up with this reason.

If anyone later speculated whether the thief had defiled his daughter-in-law or something like that, he decided to ignore it.

Even if he had to find an excuse to cover up the scandal for the other party for the sake of his children and grandchildren, the village chief was unwilling to let the other party get away with a clean reputation.

Yu Sanlang heard the unfinished meaning in the village chief’s words and had no choice but to refill his cup of tea.

After hearing the news she wanted to hear, Yu Hongdou quietly left the room and continued running around with Qian Sanmei.

When Hu Tao came to see his cousin after breakfast, he found that his cousin had already gone into the mountains with his uncle and the guests at home.

“Good Wangwang!” Yu Hongdou once again took the rabbit out of Wangwang’s mouth, hugged Wangwang and stroked it affectionately, praising him endlessly. Wen Daozhi and Mo Shougui couldn’t help but sigh.

“This dog is really amazing. It can hunt so well at such a young age. Will it be able to compete with tigers and wolves when it grows up?” Wen Daozhi was a little envious.

If he had such a dog when he was young, he would have walked sideways among them.

Mo Shougui didn’t think anything else, he just felt that his little apprentice was blessed: “Since ancient times, divine beasts and exotic pets have automatically recognized their masters, and their masters are all people with great blessings and virtues.”

“Hongdou is quite lucky.” Yu Sanlang complacently summarized Mo Shougui’s words.

His daughter is so lucky. The third branch of their family is prosperous thanks to her.

Wen Daozhi and Mo Shougui looked at each other and gave each other a helpless look after hearing this.

In daily contact with him, I feel that Yu Sanlang can be described as a man of both wisdom and resourcefulness. Even though he lacks in knowledge, he is smart, knows how to use people, and is eager to learn.

But once he meets his daughter Yu Hongdou, he loses his rationality and falls into a state of mindless praise.

Yu Hongdou giggled when she saw the teachers’ expressions. She was used to her father’s mindless praise, but every time he praised her, she did give people the impression that she was not very smart.

They are now on their way to Dongshan.

Yu Hongdou wanted to steal Master Wu Chenggong’s last skill.

Yu Sanlang wanted to see if there were any changes in the Hulushi gold vein.

The two masters strolled around casually, and the young apprentice promised them that when they arrived at Master Wu’s residence, he would personally grill meat for them.

Originally, Mo Shougui watched his little apprentice equip himself with slingshot ammunition and a crossbow, and was looking forward to seeing Yu Hongdou display his prowess along the way.

As a result, Wangwang showed up and was worth two people at once, so the little apprentice’s equipment was not used at all.

“Hey, Master, don’t be anxious. I’ll show you my skills in a moment.” Yu Hongdou heard Master Mo’s mumbling and waved her hand, signaling him not to be anxious.

In addition to improving her skills, she also had another ambition when she went into the mountains today, which was to hunt a deer or roe deer to upgrade her archery skills by three levels for a perfect ending.
