C61 The Mountain Village Is My Home!

“Do you think this is your house? Do you think you can do whatever you want?” The one-eyed man looked at his brothers who were acting like little turtles and felt ashamed. He wanted to scare the little girl with his imposing manner.

Dog Two immediately came over and pulled the one-eyed man, “Leader, don’t touch her. This little girl is very evil. She has more strength than a cow. Look, the leader, Big Beard, and those brothers with broken arms and legs were all beaten by her.”

The one-eyed man had just rushed over from the injured brothers, so he naturally knew everything clearly.

The one-eyed man put his hand on Dog Two’s arm and said, “It’s all because of you. Why did you find her?”

“This… Didn’t the leader say that she was a golden baby and brought her here to extort money?” Dog Two felt wronged. This person was not bad, but the decision was made by the leader.

Seeing the one-eyed man’s irritated eyes, Dog Two forced a smile and said, “Leader, as long as we give her some good food and drink, and let her not cause trouble, we will let her go when the money is sent over. We have been beaten up, and we have eaten. We went to the mountain with great difficulty, and we even got the money. Wouldn’t we be laughed at by others?”

The one-eyed man thought about it and glanced at Lan Qingqian, who was gnawing on a pear and looking around. Then he turned to look at Dog Two fiercely.

“Look after this person well. When the time comes, I will take your life!”

Lan Qingqian looked at the house that was much cleaner and smelled much better. She was satisfied.

For the next two days, Lan Qingqian had been ordering the bandits in the mountain village. Everyone avoided her as if they were plague. When they saw her, they hated that their parents had lost two pairs of legs.

Because she couldn’t satisfy her requests, she would beat them up. Sometimes, she wanted to eat fresh fish and meat, sometimes, she wanted to eat braised meat, and sometimes, she wanted to eat candied fruits.

The one-eyed man looked at the buns in his plate and slapped Dog Two’s head. “You are going to feed your boss with this? Hmm? Is one piece of meat worth more than your boss?”

“Our boss doesn’t have any meat.” Dog Two felt wronged.

“Where’s the meat? Did you eat it all?”

Dog Two shook his head and said bitterly, “No, it was all eaten by that little ancestor. Two chickens, ten eggs, a duck, and those carrots and cabbages. All of them are gone. Two pounds of pork, and it was the same amount every day.”

“Also, what we ate yesterday was all meat and vegetables. Now, there’s only the buns that she doesn’t like. Boss, you have to make do with it. If you don’t go buy vegetables tomorrow, I’m afraid there won’t be any buns left.”

Ever since Lan Qingqian came, the mountain village’s life had started to become difficult. Eating meat had become an extravagant hope.

The one-eyed man said, “This little girl is so good at eating?”

“Exactly. I watched her eat. She didn’t even leave any soup for me.”

“Can’t you just fool me and save me some money? Ah, I can’t even eat a mouthful of meat!” The one-eyed man was full of resentment.

Dog Two was pulled by the collar and was scared. “Master, who dares to fool me? If I don’t like it, I will get beaten up.”

The one-eyed man pushed him away. “Damn it, I am a bandit and I have to suffer this shame.”

At this moment, the Imperial Residence was in a mess. Butler Jiang waited in the residence for a few batches of people, but he still couldn’t get an accurate message. Spring roll hadn’t slept for a day. He was drinking tea in the hall and waiting for the news.

Jiang Shui saw that Steamed Bun had returned, but he didn’t say anything. Steamed Bun shook his head and said, “That day was too chaotic. I was too busy running for my life and no one saw it.”

Jiang Shui clenched his teeth and slapped his thigh. “Now that things have come to this, there’s nothing I can do. Hurry up and send the letter. Prince Xu hasn’t gone to the Qu Province yet. The others should still be looking for him in the dark. We mustn’t let this matter leak out. If the Canglan Kingdom’s eldest princess is lost, it will cause a huge mess.”

Steamed Bun immediately went over. Sweet soup came in with food. “Spring roll, eat some more. Otherwise, you won’t be able to hold on.”

Spring roll shook his head and cried. He lied on the tea table.

“If something happens to the princess, how can I live? It’s all my fault. I should have held the princess tightly!”
