“Big Yellow, are you pregnant?” Li Xiaoran thought of a possibility.
At this moment, Li Xiaoran remembered that she had always thought that Big Yellow was a male. Could it be that Big Yellow was a female?
If Big Yellow was a female, then Big Yellow must be pregnant.
Thinking of this, Li Xiaoran reached out and gently touched Big Yellow’s head. “Big Yellow, don’t worry. I’ll stew the bones for you now to nourish you!”
Big Yellow’s gaze turned gentle. It rubbed its head against Li Xiaoran’s hand and lay there to rest.
Seeing this, Li Xiaoran also lit a fire on the stove at the side. Then, she fetched water to wash the bone brought by Big Yellow and placed it in the pot to boil.
Li Xiaoran also took out some eggs and beat them into the bone soup to make poached eggs for Big Yellow.
Eggs were nutritious, so if Big Yellow was really pregnant, eating some eggs was the best way to replenish nutrition.
When Big Yellow’s soup was ready, Li Xiaoran placed the soup aside to cool.
Big Yellow couldn’t drink soup that was too hot.
Of course, the bone was also very hot, so it had to be put aside as well.
Fortunately, Big Yellow wasn’t in a hurry. When it heard Li Xiaoran explain why she didn’t let it eat yet, it waited at the side.
When Luo Cheng went to town to buy things, he had Li Xiaoran on his mind.
Fortunately, they had everything they needed. After loading everything into the car, they ate some food by the roadside and rushed home.
For some reason, Luo Cheng’s eyelids were twitching. He felt that something bad was about to happen.
Li Xiaoran had just eaten lunch with her father, Li Shun, so she watched the brewing medicine in front of her and began to wait.
“Sigh, I wonder if my husband has eaten yet!” Li Xiaoran stared at the medicine and muttered.
As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Cheng appeared in front of Li Xiaoran. “Husband, you’re back so early? Where’s the old man?”
After Luo Cheng saw Li Xiaoran, he walked over with the things in his hand.
“The old man is some distance behind me. I was worried about you, so I came back first!”
Li Xiaoran smiled when she heard Luo Cheng’s words.
“Have you had lunch yet?”
“Not yet. Is there anything to eat at home?” Luo Cheng said.
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately stopped in her tracks.
“Yes! There’s your favorite cod noodles.” As Li Xiaoran spoke, she walked in a certain direction. “I’ll get you a bowl!”
“Sure!” Luo Cheng said with a smile.
In the blink of an eye, Li Xiaoran took out a powdery thing from her pocket and sprinkled it towards Luo Cheng.
When the other party saw something powdery sprinkled at him, he quickly dodged.
Unfortunately, he was too close to Li Xiaoran, so a lot of powder stuck to his body.
Holding his breath, the fake Luo Cheng pulled out a sword and stabbed at Li Xiaoran.
In the blink of an eye, a figure rushed in from outside. A whip wrapped around the fake Luo Cheng’s waist and pulled him into the courtyard outside.
“Hmph, how dare you pretend to be me? You’re too big for your britches!” Luo Cheng snorted and said.
When Li Xiaoran heard this voice and sensed Luo Cheng’s emotions, she heaved a sigh of relief.
This time, she was sure that the person who came afterwards was the real Luo Cheng.
Li Xiaoran quickly picked up the brewed medicine and carefully hid at the side.
Elder Xu also rushed in with his men. After surrounding the person on the ground, he looked at Li Xiaoran.
“Are you all right, girl? Are you hurt?”
“Don’t worry, I’m fine! It’s all thanks to the powder you gave me to protect myself before you left. It really came in handy!” Li Xiaoran confirmed that this person was Elder Xu, so she replied.
After Luo Cheng tapped the person’s acupoints, he took off the human skin mask on his face.
As expected, as soon as he took off the mask, the other party’s true appearance was revealed.
“It’s you! Daniu, you actually followed me?” Elder Xu was shocked when he saw this person’s appearance.
Luo Cheng narrowed his eyes when he heard Elder Xu’s words.
“Is this the man who poisoned you?” Luo Cheng asked.
Elder Xu nodded and said with certainty, “I’m definitely not mistaken. He’s
Daniu! It’s just that I never knew that Daniu was actually a martial artist!”
When Daniu, who had his acupuncture points tapped, heard Elder Xu’s words, he immediately sneered.
“There are many things you didn’t expect! Elder Xu, you deserve to die! My plan was about to succeed, but this person saw through it!” When Luo Cheng heard this, he immediately realized something.
“How did you find out?”
Daniu realized that he had exposed something, so he shut his mouth and refused to say anything else.
Elder Xu realized something, but his doubts increased.
“Daniu, I, Xu Guocheng, have been on the battlefield for most of my life. Although I’ve done some wrong things, I haven’t done anything evil. From the looks of it, you hate me to the core, as if you have a deep emnity with me! Why don’t you tell me in detail what I’ve done to make you want to take my life?”
“Pfft! You haven’t done anything outrageous? Then are the vengeful ghosts of more than a hundred people in Yang’s Village fake? Back then, when you pa.s.sed by Yang’s Village with your army, my grandfather kindly welcomed you all into the village to rest, yet you actually poisoned all the people in Yang’s Village in the middle of the night! Do you think that no one knows what you did?” Daniu looked at Xu Guocheng hatefully and said.
When Elder Xu heard Daniu’s words, his face was filled with confusion.
“Impossible. I, Xu Guocheng, have been upright my entire life. I will never admit to anything I haven’t done.”
Li Xiaoran sensed their emotions and walked out.
“Old man, drink the medicine first! After you drink the medicine, we’ll talk
about this! I have a feeling that there’s a misunderstanding between the two of you!”
When Elder Xu heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he nodded and drank the medicine Li
Xiaoran handed him in one gulp.
Daniu glared at Li Xiaoran hatefully as he shouted, “There’s no misunderstanding. It’s him, Xu Guocheng. I definitely didn’t recognize the wrong person!”
“How is it impossible? Didn’t you disguise yourself as my husband to deceive me just now? If you can disguise yourself as someone else, why can’t others disguise themselves as Xu Guocheng? If someone wants to frame him, can you really distinguish between them? I think it’s best for you to tell me what you heard first.. Let’s a.n.a.lyze the situation together! Otherwise, you’ll lose track of the murderer who killed more than a hundred people in your village and do something that your enemy will be glad to see!”
