Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

Chapter 749: Chapter 749: The Golden Scales, Not an Ordinary Creature!
 

Liu Sisi turned her head to look at Zhang Peng, who was standing silently beside her, lost in thought.

“Brother Zhang, what are your thoughts on this matter?”

Zhang Peng regained his focus and shook his head: “The child’s story of a gigantic creature larger than a house… I’m afraid it may not be reliable. It’s just too exaggerated.”

“My view is just the opposite, Brother Zhang, look.”

While talking, Liu Sisi directly pulled the window of the wing room, leaving only a small hole: “Brother Zhang, look outside.”@@novelbin@@

Zhang Peng was puzzled, but he still leaned over as instructed, and then took a deep breath.

Looking out through the small hole, the figures of the two people who were gradually going away seemed exceptionally tall, as if they were even taller than the courtyard wall!

“The child said earlier that he saw the giant while he was digging potatoes from the stove and looking out the window. Just now, we saw that the two people’s clothes were dirty and worn, indicating a poor family background. We can imagine that the window in their house is not very high. Looking up from a low position through a small hole, doesn’t everything appear magnified? So, the child wasn’t lying.”

Liu Sisi opened the window again and looked at the two who had already left the courtyard: “By reconciling the words of the two, it shouldn’t be hard to imagine the terrifying events that took place in Peach Blossom Village!”

“Yes, Brother Ye Lei and the others went to Peach Blossom Village, and they must have wanted to escape by water. He must have broken through with His Majesty’s people. The other party must have guessed their intentions and confronted them in Peach Blossom Village.” Zhang Peng speculated, and his guess was almost on point.

“By the way, they didn’t mention the whereabouts of Ye Lei and the others in the end. Did they escape from the encirclement?”

It was only now that Liu Sisi discovered the crux of the issue.

Old Cheng happened to return and heard this question, so he hurriedly walked over quickly.

“People outside have been discussing this. They say that at the end, the Bloodthirsty Demon General of Hell Di vanished in a flash. But before disappearing, they heard someone in the crowd that was wiped out loudly exclaim: ‘You’re not human! You’re a devil’s general, you’re Hell King Di!’ So later, his name was passed around as the Bloodthirsty Demon General of Hell Di.”

“Really? The Bloodthirsty Demon General of Hell Di… What a name…”

A smile appeared at the corner of Liu Sisi’s mouth, and her heart was filled with excitement!

This was the man of her dreams – Liu Sisi’s husband! He was a true hero, a hidden dragon with great ambitions. He was destined for greatness, and would soar like a dragon in the wind and rain!

He had now truly become a dragon among men! No one could stop his meteoric rise!

He had opened his path in life!

Liu Sisi raised her head and slowly closed her eyes.

Ye Lei, I know, I’ve always known that your achievements won’t be limited to this! You need to spread your wings, strive, and achieve your dreams. I will silently support you!

But I have only one request!

You must – absolutely, absolutely – come back alive! Safe and sound… come back!

A long sigh came out of her mouth, and Liu Sisi took a deep breath. When she opened her eyes again, her face was adorned with a faint smile as she bowed slightly to Zhang Peng.

“Brother Zhang, I have a favor to ask.”

Zhang Peng was startled! He hurriedly stepped aside: “Sister-in-law, if you have anything to say, just say it. There’s no need for… this.”

Liu Sisi’s face was serious: “Brother Zhang, this matter is vital. I have no one else to entrust it to but you!”

“Sister-in-law, just tell me.”

Liu Sisi nodded: “Alright then, I would like to ask Brother Zhang to help me make a trip…”

–

Outside, the wind and rain swayed wildly, and news of Zhao Jiong’s self-proclamation as emperor continued to spread like wildfire.

Moreover, news of the Bloodthirsty Demon General of Hell Di annihilating tens of thousands of people overnight made all the forces within and outside Gongzhou City extremely tense.

Zhao Jiong actually declared himself emperor, while the current Emperor’s fate remained unknown, and the two major forces clashed within Gongzhou City’s territory, causing a storm in the capital city.

For a moment, the entire Great Zhao was tense and apprehensive.

At the moment, Ms. Xin was walking quickly along the wharf outside Peach Blossom Village.

Now, she was disguised as an elder woman, with a layer of dark brown mud smeared on her face, looking as if she had experienced life’s hardships.

Yesterday, she first visited the places where Old He might appear, but didn’t see him. Then, she sneaked into Old He’s room and found a clue by accident, and followed it all the way. Later, she heard that Old He had boarded a ship going north, but changed his itinerary at the last minute, so she rushed to catch up with him

But after chasing all this way, she hadn’t even seen Old He’s shadow.

“Could it be that I missed him halfway through? Maybe I should… ”

Ms. Xin talked to herself, and she was about to turn back when a group of horsemen suddenly appeared in front of her, fleeing in her direction.

There was a cliff on one side and a riverbank on the other, with no place to hide. Ms. Xin instinctively moved to the side leaning against the cliff to give way.

These people seemed to be fleeing for their lives, constantly looking back while running, without paying any attention to Ms. Xin.

However, as they passed Ms. Xin, one of them suddenly exclaimed, “Eh?”

Ms. Xin had a bad feeling!

As expected, the group stopped in front of her.

Ms. Xin looked up and saw a familiar pair of eyes, and her face changed instantly, exclaiming in surprise: “It’s you! What are you doing here?”

The other person laughed heartily: “Isn’t it me indeed! Little Cui’er, it seems we have quite the fate! To think we’d meet here too! Take her away!”

“Let go of me! Boss Gu, what are you trying to do?”

Ms. Xin instinctively wanted to resist.

“What am I trying to do? Little Cui’er, what should I say about you? It’s like you chose hell over heaven. Since you bumped into me, don’t think about going back to the Di Family. I, Boss Gu, can still afford to keep you! Tie her up and take her away!”

Shopkeeper Gu’s face was stern, not relenting at all.

“Let go! I dare you to touch me!”

Ms. Xin was both angry and frustrated, but she showed no mercy in her actions. She swung her soft sword, taking advantage of the terrain, and quickly took down several men, directly kicking them into the great river below.

The remaining few men were intimidated by her strength and encircled her from a distance, not daring to attack.

“Well! Very well, this thorny flower bud is all mine! The more it stings, the more fragrant it is to me. Great! Very great!”

Shopkeeper Gu laughed heartily.

The lust on his face made Ms. Xin feel nauseous.

Thinking of her miserable past, especially those unspeakable humiliations, her body shivered uncontrollably. This was a manifestation of extreme anger.

“You damn old bastard! In the past, I, Xin, was afraid of you, but now, do you think I, Xin, will still be afraid of you or be coerced by you?”

As she spoke, she raised her long sword, aiming directly at Shopkeeper Gu’s chest.
