Transmigrating To Ancient Times With A Kitchen

72 Beaten Up

It would have been fine if Jian Qingqing had not been mentioned. When Chen Ergou heard Jian Qingqing, he became even angrier. He increased his strength and beat Xiao Hu up.

If that wretched girl had not stolen their business, he, Chen Ergou, would have been the one who would be earning a lot of money from buying a cow in a big brick house!

At this moment, Xiao Ye woke up amidst the noise. When he opened his eyes, he saw the scene of Xiao Hu being beaten up. Before he could understand what had happened, he cried out in fear, “Brother! Who are you people?! Quickly let go of Brother!”

No one paid him any attention. All of them looked on coldly as they watched Chen Ergou beat Xiao Hu.

When Master Li saw that the beating was almost over, he went over and said, “Alright, alright. How can I do anything if you break him?”

Chen Ergou suppressed the anger in his heart and spat, “Yes, yes. I’ll tie him tighter. I definitely won’t let him break free again.”

He untied the rope on Xiao Hu’s body and tied him tightly again.

After tying him up, he held Xiao Hu’s collar and said, “Let’s go. Master Li, I’ll send him out for you.”

Master Li ignored Xiao Ye’s struggle and ruthlessly knocked him with his hand. Xiao Ye fainted again.

Jian Qingqing and Ming Zhiyan followed the road and arrived in front of a village. This village was very small. There were more than a dozen households in the village, and it gave off a strange smell.

Jian Qingqing asked, “Should we search here?”

“Wait a moment.”

Ming Zhiyan’s eyes swept across the village like torches and said, “Let’s search here first.”

It was very easy to search here. Most of the houses were thatched cottages. There would be gaps in the houses. If one took a careful look, they could see inside.

At this time, the villagers were all working. Only one or two families had children. The rest were empty, making it more convenient for them to search.

After looking for ten families, Jian Qingqing could not help but feel a little anxious.

“Could they be here?”

“No, there is no village down here. Behind this village is a big mountain with countless ferocious beasts, so they must have taken this road to settle down here.”

Jian Qingqing looked at him in surprise. “How do you know there is a big mountain behind? What if it is just a small hill? Maybe after crossing this hill, there is another village.”

Ming Zhiyan coughed lightly and said gently, “I’ve seen the map of Shifeng County and calculated the distance from the county to here. The mountain behind us is almost Weihu Mountain. If we want to go to the other side, we have to take another path. It’s impossible to go over from here.”

Jian Qingqing gave him a thumbs up. impressive.

Ming Zhiyan did not know what her gesture meant. He looked up at the sky and said, “Let’s hurry and find it.”

Jian Qingqing looked at the remaining five households and shook her head. “I have a feeling that they are not here.”

“Why?”

“Intuition. Do you understand a woman’s sixth sense?”

Ming Zhiyan shook his head helplessly. What nonsense. He also guessed that the person should not be among the five households. He did not rely on his intuition, but a reasonable guess. He knew that the person must have come in this direction, but it was not necessarily in the village.

“Then tell me where to look.”

Jian Qingqing rolled her eyes. “Why don’t we find someone to ask?”

“Yes.”

Jian Qingqing came to the house with the children and asked softly, “Brothers and sisters, can I ask you something?”

There were two six or seven-year-old girls in the house with their two-year-old brothers. When they heard this, they looked at them warily.

Jian Qingqing took out a handful of candy from her pocket and showed it to them. “Just a little question. Whether you know it or not, this candy is yours. Do you want to tell us?”
