Chapter 37: A Group of Old Foxes
"Brother Huzi, is aunt back?" Yaya asked in a baby voice, her delicate little eyebrows wrinkled. It was already dark, and she hadn't seen her aunt yet.
"Don't be afraid, Yaya. Your aunt will be back soon." Hu Zi was also a little unsure. Not long ago, several panicked people suddenly ran out of the woods and they were almost discovered.
Now the two of them were huddled in the bushes, not daring to move.
Baizi turned over and gently rubbed Yaya's hand with his palm, "Don't be afraid, Yaya, the host will be fine."
"Baibai is awesome!"
Yaya praised earnestly, and rubbed Baizi's with her little hands gently, again and again.
Hu Zi looked at the empty ground and frowned tightly. Yaya seemed to be playing with something she didn't know and even talking to herself.
The name she called seemed to be the dog's name, but the dog seemed to have suddenly disappeared before it left the city gate.
Everyone has secrets, and Hu Zi naturally doesn’t want to explore any secrets. He just doesn’t want Yaya to be deceived. He can’t see through that woman.
"Brother Hu, what's wrong with you?"
Yaya gently tugged at Hu Zi's hand, tapped her little feet and leaned close to his ear, lowering her voice, "Bai Bai said that the aunt is back!"
Hu Zi subconsciously looked outside, but there was no one in sight. He could only perfunctorily reply, "Yeah, I'll be right back."
The two little guys waited for a while, and after the sun had completely disappeared, a figure finally ran out from the distance.
"Little aunt!"
Yaya jumped out of the bushes happily and ran towards Ye Chuyi with her short legs.
Hu Zi had no choice but to follow, a look of doting flashing across his eyes.
“Are you impatient?” Ye Chuyi picked up the little girl and gently rocked her twice.
The little girl was so amused that she giggled, "I miss my aunt!"
"You are hurt?"
Because of his height, Hu Zi saw at a glance the cut on Ye Chuyi's right arm caused by the knife, and the blood stains a small area of his clothes.
Ye Chuyi was stunned for a moment, and almost subconsciously rubbed his head, "You have a sharp eye, it's just a minor injury, it's no big deal."
On the way, she had bought some hemostatic pills from the system mall and they worked quite well. The wound was not very deep to begin with and had stopped bleeding.
Hu Zi turned his head away awkwardly, and said in a muffled voice, "Grandpa Zhang has medicine, you should go and have a look."
"I know, I know. Let's go back quickly. We have to go into the mountains soon."
Ye Chuyi ignored the attempts to stop him and pulled the disgruntled little fellow back. When he looked up, he met Yaya's red rabbit eyes.
"What happened to little darling?"
Why did you start crying in the blink of an eye?!
"Auntie, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts so much..."
Ye Chuyi's heart melted when he saw the little girl's serious expression.
"Auntie, it doesn't hurt. Seeing my favorite Auntie Yaya, she's not afraid of pain at all!"
"Liar." Hu Zi muttered as he followed the two men.
Because they were walking very fast, they didn't walk slowly back. As soon as they arrived at the original place where they were stationed, Ye Chuyi felt something different.
It seemed as if there were suddenly a lot more people around their donkey cart. Of course, they were not refugees, but strangers who it was difficult to tell whether they were good or evil.
"Miss, you're back!"
Qinghuan came to meet them from afar. Miao Ying's legs were not in good condition, so Ye Chuyi asked her to have a good rest. Qinghuan was basically the one who did all the work, and she was also very smart.
The girl was not an orphan, but she did not find her family near the city gate, and she didn't even see anyone in the village. So she decided not to look for them anymore and just take it one step at a time and follow her in the future.
"What happened? Why are there so many people suddenly?"
Ye Chuyi raised his chin towards the direction of the donkey cart and happened to see a woman with a sly look in her eyes preparing to lift the oilcloth on the cart shed.
"What are you doing? Want to steal something?" The little old man suddenly jumped out from the donkey cart, scaring the woman so much that she had to leave in embarrassment.
"These are all the sisters' families. Some are here to thank you, young lady. Some heard that we have food here and want to borrow food. Some want to follow us."
Qinghuan's tone was a little unhappy. These people had been here for a long time, but they refused to listen to anything she said.
"Didn't you tell me that if I wanted to leave I could just leave? Why did you bring me back?"
Ye Chuyi was really unhappy, especially during this period of time, she saw several people trying to get on the donkey cart.
"It's because you got the settlement documents with them, and they want to rely on you." The old man walked over unhappily and looked at Ye Chuyi with a vicious expression.
“What does this have to do with it?” Ye Chuyi didn’t understand for a moment. Wouldn’t it be easy to just hand over the documents for settling in?
She bought an ID tag and happened to have a quota, so she gave it to her.
"Why doesn't it matter?" The old man was so disappointed with her that he took Yaya from her arms angrily.
"You are the county magistrate now. If they want to settle down, they have to follow you. Instead of waiting for you to arrive and then looking for you, it is better to follow you now. Maybe you will meet someone who is stupid and rich, and you can even give him food."
The old man's words were too blunt, he was just short of pointing at her nose and calling her stupid.
"I don't think so much." Ye Chuyi defended himself weakly.
[Ding——, the random task has been triggered. Please help the abducted girls and children find their relatives and settle them down. Completing the task will reward you with a random offensive system item.]
"You really know how to take advantage of every opportunity." Ye Chuyi complained in his heart in annoyance.
Just look at these messy people in front of you and you will know that this is definitely a thankless task.
But since the system rewards it as an offensive item, it is difficult to evaluate.
Ye Chu accepted this new random task reluctantly, and felt a headache looking at the messy crowd.
Perhaps they noticed that she had returned, and soon the people riding the donkey cart surrounded her.
"This must be Miss Ye, thank you for saving our little girl. Our whole family kowtows to you."
"Thank you Miss Ye for saving our baby. Thank you Miss Ye."
……
This is a sincere thank you, you can tell from the voice and expression.
Ye Chuyi coughed twice and waved his hands a little embarrassedly, "Uncles, aunts, please get up quickly. It's okay as long as you are fine. You must be more careful in the future and don't lose anyone again."
"Miss Ye is right."
"Alright, alright, let's go back. We've been exhausted all day. Go to bed early because we have to travel again tomorrow."
After Ye Chuyi finished speaking, he turned his head and whispered a few words into Qinghuan's ear.
"Give them all the bags that the girls and children of these families had bought before. If you have any money left, give them some more. If not, forget it."
"Miss, we don't need it." Qinghuan retorted in a low voice. The young lady had given enough.
"Okay, those are yours in the first place. I will definitely not give my things away, don't worry."
Ye Chuyi whispered a few words of comfort and then went to look at the rest of the people.
Perhaps noticing her gaze, three or four prestigious-looking men slowly walked out of the crowd.
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that these people were deliberately putting on airs.
"I am the head of Dahuaishu Village. I am here to thank the county governor for handling the settlement documents for Dahuaishu Village."
"The little head of Willow Village..."
"I am the head of Shanghe Village..."
Although they said they were thanking him, Ye Chuyi could not see any gratitude in their eyes.
His acting is not even realistic, he is trying to fool her as if she is a fool.
"You don't have to be polite, village leaders. I just went through the paperwork. Whether the final result will reach you or not will depend on the future. After all, plans cannot keep up with changes."
Ye Chuyi spoke in a cold voice, not willing to give them a good look. After all, it was just a verbal migration document. At worst, they could be replaced when they settled down.
As expected, as soon as she finished speaking, the faces of several people instantly turned gloomy.
"We are willing to follow the county magistrate. The men in the village can help protect the county magistrate."
