Chapter 1023: Put Me Down, I’ll Kill This Person
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The strange thing was that Gu Nuo’er realized that these villagers didn’t go out.
She pa.s.sed by a fenced courtyard where a man was chopping firewood.
The child quickly ran over and called out through the fence, “Uncle, may I ask…”
The man looked up and when he saw her, a trace of fear flashed across his eyes.
He quickly picked up the ax and ignored the wood. He entered the house and closed the door with a bang.
Gu Nuo’er blinked her watery eyes and found it strange.
On the other hand, Ye Siming, who was in her arms, couldn’t stand the little thing being neglected.
“Put me down. I’ll kill this person.”
Gu Nuo’er hugged him tightly. “Forget it, Elder Brother Siming. They’re not hospitable and the food must not taste good either! Let’s go to another house to take a look!”
The child walked past a few houses. They either closed the doors and windows tightly or pretended not to look at her at all.
“That’s strange. I’m not a ferocious beast. Why are they so afraid of me?”
Ye Siming, who was in his arms, sneered. “They have a guilty conscience, so of course they are afraid.
“Didn’t you notice that apart from you, there are no other young girls in the village?”
Gu Nuo’er immediately looked around and recalled what she had seen just now.
The people here were either little boys, couples, or old people.
It seemed that there were indeed no girls her age.
Ye Siming’s voice was calm. “When I followed you guys yesterday, because you guys were walking too slowly, I went to the front to scout the way.
“I saw that the people in this village worked together to push the stone down from the cliff, blocking the mountain path.”
Gu Nuo’er raised her eyebrows. “What are they thinking of doing?”
Ye Siming sneered. “What can they do? Probably robbery or other schemes.”
Therefore, he felt that something would definitely happen.
He couldn’t ensure the child’s safety when he stayed a distance away from her.
Therefore, he transformed into a wolf and stayed by her side. It would be more convenient for him to do things this way.
Gu Nuo’er was about to speak when she saw a woman in front walking towards them with a basket.
However, when she saw Gu Nuo’er, she quickly turned around and left.
Her footsteps were very fast. Unexpectedly, she slipped and fell hard into the field.
The child opened her round eyes and hurriedly ran over. She placed the little black wolf aside and reached out her soft hands to pull the woman up.
“Auntie, are you alright?”
Her clothes were thin in the summer and the sleeve on the woman’s arm had been torn. There was a shocking abrasion and blood seeped out of the wound.
The woman waved her hand to show that she was fine and propped herself up.
Unfortunately, the wild vegetables from the basket fell to the ground.
Gu Nuo’er took the initiative to pick up the basket and then the wild vegetables.
The woman watched from the side with her head lowered, only daring to look at Gu Nuo’er from the corner of her eye.
She felt that this girl was really adorable, beautiful, and obedient.
Gu Nuo’er’s small face was fair and red, and her eyes were big. She looked very smart.
“Auntie, here!” Gu Nuo’er raised the basket.
The woman silently took it and said, “Thank you.”
She wanted to turn around and leave immediately, but after some hesitation, she said, “Young girl, run quickly. If you continue to stay here, you’ll lose your life!”
Gu Nuo’er blinked her watery eyes in confusion. “Why?”
The woman was about to explain when a man suddenly rushed out from behind her.
“w.a.n.g Wu’s wife, what are you doing?!” The man shouted in a rough voice.
The woman was so frightened that her face turned pale. She stammered and explained, “I-I fell. I’ll leave now.”
She didn’t dare to look at Gu Nuo’er anymore. She turned around, carried the basket, and limped away.
The man watched her leave before returning to the house.
Gu Nuo’er narrowed her eyes.
It may seem that the villagers seemed to be ignoring her, but they were actually secretly monitoring her.
At this moment, the little black wolf that Ye Siming had turned into reached out his paw and placed them on the hem of her dress.
The child lowered her head and saw that his wolf eyes were calm and black.
However, the meaning of that gaze could not be clearer.
He was waiting for the little thing to carry him.
