Chapter 23 The Eye-catching White-fronted Insect

Mrs. Wang, with runny noses and tears, told her exactly what happened.

It turned out that after she and Wang Yingying continued to go deep into the mountains, they soon saw a big trap dug by Su Mo, and a lifeless wild boar was lying in it.

It was a little small, but it made Mrs. Wang and Wang Yingying feel a little moved.

Mrs. Wang thought that if she sold the wild boar and added the hare, she could get more than two taels of silver, and then her eldest son's betrothal gift would be secured.

Not to mention Wang Yingying, she felt happy just thinking that Su Mo would not have a hard time.

However, the wild boar was pierced in the stomach by the wooden stake in the trap. The strong smell of blood lingered for a long time. The breeze blew by, and Wang Yingying frowned.

She discussed with Mrs. Wang and wanted to take the hare back first, and then ask her brothers at home to pull up the wild boar together.

But Mrs. Wang didn't want to. She was afraid that if she wasted time, Su Mo would come over, and then she would lose a wild boar in vain.

Wang Yingying couldn't resist her, and the wild boars on her left and right were not that big, so she and Mrs. Wang walked to the surrounding area, looking for some vines to use as ropes, and worked together to pull the wild boar up.

Who would have thought that a big, eye-catching white-fronted insect would come looking for the smell of blood, and the two of them were immediately frightened.

While running away in a panic, Mrs. Wang mistakenly pushed Wang Yingying, and then she was able to run out...

Of course, she naturally concealed this. If the villagers knew about it, her reputation would be ruined, and the future marriages of her three sons would be mysterious.

The situation was urgent, even if the village chief was angry with Mrs. Wang, he had no choice but to press down.

"You two help Mrs. Wang go back, and then ask her men and three children to get the hatchets."

"I remember that Jiu An hasn't gone to sea today. You should go find him quickly and ask him to take the hatchet and go to the foot of the mountain. He knows where the trap is and can lead the way when the time comes."

"Qingzhou, go home quickly and find your father. Let him take your brother-in-law and the others to get hatchets and go to the foot of the mountain to meet your uncle Jiu'an."

The woman who was called hurriedly responded, and someone took Mrs. Wang to her home.

Someone went to find Chen Jiu'an.

Chen Qingzhou also rushed home quickly.

The village chief has limited legs and feet, which makes walking up the mountain a burden. No matter how impatient he is, he can only wait.

He looked at Su Mo aside and sighed.

"Ms. Su, this is Mrs. Wang's fault. Once I rescue the Wang family's daughters, I will let them make amends to you!"

Luoshan Village is not without bad intentions, but at most it is just a quarrel and stealing things, this is the first time this has happened.

As the head of a village, he is also responsible if the people in the village do something wrong.

"It's okay, as long as the person can come back alive."

Su Mo said his goodbyes with a smile on his face.

"The three children at home are still waiting for me, so I will go back first."

The village chief waved his hand: "Go."

His heart was very heavy at the moment. If someone died...

When Chen Cihai and others learned that something had happened to Wang Yingying, they quickly took their hatchets and headed to Xishan.

Chen Qingzhou followed the three of them, and when they passed by the Gu family courtyard, they walked over decisively.

His dark eyes stared at Gu Xingnian, who was sitting on the threshold, dragging his cheeks, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised.

Sister Xingnian is getting more and more beautiful.

"Sister Xingnian, are you waiting for me?"

Chen Qingzhou walked over sheepishly, her face pretending to be calm, but her earlobes were red.

Gu Xingnian raised her eyes and was about to deny it when she saw her mother appear behind Chen Qingzhou. Her round eyes lit up. She stood up, opened her hands and ran over.

When Chen Qingzhou saw this, his ears turned even redder.

Sister Xingnian actually wants to hug me...

Should I avoid it? What should I do if she gets sad if I avoid it? But if I don’t avoid it, wouldn’t it be bad if others see it?

Chen Qingzhou hesitated for a long time before making up his mind to stand still and wait for Gu Xingnian to hug him.

Then……

Gu Xingnian walked past him and hugged Su Mo.

"Mom, I've been waiting for you for a long time~"

It turns out you weren’t waiting for me...crying...aggrieved...

Chen Qingzhou's heart, which had just taken off in a straight line, suddenly fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

Su Mo hugged Gu Xingnian and slowly walked towards the courtyard gate with a faint smile on his face.

"Mom is back, isn't she? Where are your brother and the others?"

Gu Xingnian grinned and said, "Brother is going to wash clothes~"

During these days, they all saw how kind Su Mo was to the three brothers and sisters.

Having enough to eat and drink, new clothes, new quilts and new beds, and a small wardrobe of their own... In the past, this was something they didn't even dare to hope for.

Even Gu Jinnian, who noticed Su Mo's secret, seemed to be subtly feeling a little envious of Su Mo today.

The wariness deep in their hearts quietly dissipated, and both children would take the initiative to help and do whatever they could.

Su Mo didn't stop him. She understood this truth.

Su Mo smiled and nodded. He glanced at the child standing at the door of the courtyard with his peripheral vision, raised his eyebrows slightly, and suddenly had an idea in his mind.

"Qingzhou is here?"

She put Gu Xingnian down and said, "Xingnian, go play with Qingzhou. Mom is a little tired, so go in and take a nap."

Gu Xingnian nodded, and then she remembered that her good friend was also here. She looked over and blinked: "Brother Qingzhou, why are you here?"

Chen Qingzhou responded with a shy smile.

"My father and the others went up the mountain, and I followed them. When I saw you sitting on the threshold, I came over..."

Su Mo was not interested in listening to the conversation between the two children. She had more important things to do. After all, someone wanted to steal her things. How could she not pay the price?

She went back to the house, picked out a dark dress and put it on. She tied the sleeves and trouser legs with strips of cloth as usual, and tied her hair up high so as not to get in the way later.

The hatchet had turned into a dagger and was stuck on the back of his hand. Su Mo also took a piece of lighter cloth, thinking of using it as a veil later.

It would be bad if people found out about doing bad things.

Two children were chatting at the entrance of the courtyard, their voices were very low. Su Mo closed the door of the living room, walked to the courtyard wall, and climbed over the wall with the help of wooden piers.

Su Mo walked very quickly and reached the foot of the mountain in a short time.

Chen Cihai and the others haven't gone up the mountain yet, but the village chief is also here, which is a bit surprising.

Su Mo's eyes flashed slightly, he walked lightly and lurked over to listen.

It turned out that when Mrs. Wang arrived at home, she actually stopped her husband and three sons, saying that the big insect was too dangerous and that her husband and three sons were all future scholars and could not die in vain.

This statement can be said to have stirred up a hornet's nest.

The woman who sent her back was from the Chen family, so Chen Cihai and the others had to call her aunt.

The woman immediately became dark-faced and started to quarrel with Mrs. Wang. When the village chief heard the news, he passed away, but Mrs. Wang refused to agree.

Wang Tongsheng and his three sons also hid in the house and pretended not to hear.

The village chief was furious, but there was nothing he could do. It was a human life, and he couldn't really ignore it.

He had no choice but to go up the mountain with a cane and explain the situation to Chen Cihai and others...

The faces of Chen Cihai and the other two people were a little ugly. What Mrs. Wang said was really too much. If their lives are in harmony, their lives are not their lives?
