Chapter 136: Chapter 136: Pile of Corpses

Xiaoqi turned to the sound, only to see a little girl around two to three years old acting spoiled towards a man.

Chi Sheng examined the little boy that his daughter mentioned and the little girl in his arms, causing him to furrow his brows.

It wouldn’t be good if these two were childhood friends...

Furthermore, this child didn’t look like a naive one. If he was taken back to be Yuanbao’s child husband, Yuanbao probably wouldn’t be able to handle him.

"Daddy, daddy, I want him to be my husband, please?" Little Yuanbao pulled her father’s sleeve acting spoiled. Seeing that it was ineffective, she took the initiative to run towards the two with her little short legs.

Old third noticed Yuanbao’s movement and was about to stop her, only to be halted by Chi Sheng’s raised hand.

Yuanbao had been spoiled by him. She needed to gradually understand some things on her own. Even if she suffers a bit, it could serve as a lesson for her.

The little girl rushed to Xiaoqi’s side, didn’t say a word but circled around them several times before happily asking: "Brother, can you be my husband?"

Xiaoqi was taken aback by the little girl’s question.

Looking at her fair and tender face and her clean clothes, he couldn’t help but feel a twinge of sadness.

If only his little sister could have such a life...

Without getting a response, Yuanbao didn’t get discouraged, she continued to think of topics to discuss. However, she was just a little girl who hadn’t even turned three. She looked at the sister in his arms before quickly asking: "Is this your sister? She looks like she’s hurt!"

Xiaoqi didn’t say a word, only nodding in response.

Upon receiving a response, Yuanbao laughed widely, revealing her little rice-sized white teeth.

Laughing as she did, she reached into her little bag and rummaged around for a while.

Finally, she pulled out a small handkerchief and passed it over.

"Husband, wipe your sister’s mouth."

Chi Sheng heard his daughter’s words and felt a throbbing in his temples. She was articulate when calling someone else husband, yet she was only three. How could she audaciously call a five-year-old girl her younger sister?

The third and fifth leader standing in the back wanted to laugh but didn’t dare to. Their faces flushed red from trying to hold in their laughter and ended up thinking about all of their worries in life to keep their composure.

Looking at the clean handkerchief, Xiaoqi didn’t take it, simply holding his sister even tighter.

Yuanbao’s small hand stretched out, looking at him still not receiving it, she was somewhat puzzled. However, her hand was becoming tired and so she sighed and said: "Husband, fifth uncle said, only a fool wouldn’t take something when offered."

As the little girl was speaking, she shook her head, causing the two braids on her head to swing around.

Chi Sheng and third leader both looked towards the fifth leader.

The fifth leader felt wronged and hurriedly waved his hands to deny: "I didn’t say anything."

Seeing both of his brothers turn their heads, he began to recall his previous interactions with Yuanbao.

Seeing him still not moving, Yuanbao let out a heavy sigh and took two steps forward, still clutching the handkerchief.

As the young child moved closer, Xiaoqi tensed up. He had just noticed that there were three men behind this young girl who were even more robust than the previous ones...

"Good girl, let your sister-in-law wipe your mouth. Mommy said that children should be clean."

Yueyue looked confused, only feeling a soft handkerchief rubbing against her face, carrying a faint scent.

This little sister is also very cute, but why is she calling me her little sister?

"Thank you." Despite her confusion, Yueyue still thanked her softly.

"We’re all family, it’s no big deal." Yuanbao exclaimed cheerily, her eyes, however, were looking at her own father.

Chi Sheng felt uneasy under his daughter’s big eyes. Eventually, he had no choice but to stiffly nod.

Having obtained her father’s permission, Yuanbao became overjoyed and reached out her little hand, wanting to pull Xiaoqi up, "Husband, please come home with me, okay?"

Xiaoqi and Yueyue exchanged a glance. The former was hesitant and wary, while Yueyue looked confused. Just as she tried to say something, she suddenly started to cough violently.

Hearing the movement, Chi Sheng quickly went over and lifted Yuanbao, frowning and backing away a few steps.

Yueyue’s face turned bright red and she timidly apologized, "Sorry..."

"Yueyue, it’s okay." Xiaoqi comforted his sister in a soft voice, his eyes filled with more sadness.

"Child, do you want to come back with us?" The third leader hurried over to ask upon seeing this situation.

"If you come with us, we can guarantee that you’ll be fed and clothed well. You won’t have to worry about anything else."

Chi Sheng raised his eyebrows and asked, using "you", showing absolutely no intention of taking the little girl along.

Hearing all this, Xiaoqi paid no attention to it.

However, Yueyue was a bit anxious. If they could ensure food and clothes, of course she would hope that her brother could go with them.

After all, she knew about her own illness. The king’s doctor said that if she took her medicine well, she could live until she was fifteen. But taking medicine costs money and she didn’t want to burden her brother all the time.

"Brother, you can go with them."

Xiaoqi simply shook his head, not wanting to say more.

He wanted these people to leave quickly. He still needed to find food for Yueyue and also to continue their journey.

"Can you come home with me, please? If you come home with me, I’ll have my second uncle treat Yueyue!"

Yuanbao was being held up by her father’s grasping her clothing. She was struggling non-stop, like a small puppy held up by the scruff of its neck.

Upon hearing that Yueyue could be treated, Xiaoqi abruptly looked up, staring at Yuanbao, "Can you really treat Yueyue?"

The little girl was surprised, she nodded: "I can’t, but my second uncle can."

Xiaoqi looked at her one more time, then finally let go of Yueyue, bowed three times to Yuanbao and Chi Sheng, and finally said, with his head touching the ground: "I will go with you, I just beg you to save my sister."

Seeing the determined expression on the young boy’s face, Chi Sheng sighed silently.

His daughter would probably have to suffer in the future.

At this time, Nanzhi was also having trouble.

Looking at the people lying in front of her, Nanzhi felt her scalp tingle.

These people, without exception, were all stripped clean, some bodies already beginning to rot and produce maggots. Even so, she could still see the various holes in the corpses.

Both Lin Yicheng’s and Lin Ercheng’s faces were extremely grave.

Although the people in the carriage couldn’t see the situation outside, they could smell the stench.

Both Mrs. Lin and Aunt Guihua knew what was happening, their faces changed.

Sun Cui was about to lift the curtain of the carriage to have a look, but she was blocked by Lin Ercheng: "Don’t look."

Even without knowing what was going on, Lin Yicheng still led the way.
