C9 Besieged

Soong Qiu'er was worried about Ah Mu and wanted to go back as soon as possible, but after earning so much money, she wanted to celebrate. She found a roasted chicken shop, weighed a chicken bag, turned around and went to the candy store at the side, and ordered half a pound of candies and half a pound of pastries.

Soong Qiu'er took a rope and slowly returned to the village. She was afraid that someone would tell Madam Qian that she had taken a detour to the woodshed from the wasteland at the back of the yard. She saw the tall Ah Mu squatting on the ground, making gestures with a tree branch, like a little dog that had been abandoned by its owner.

Soong Qiu'er walked forward and pushed Ah Mu, causing him to jump up in fright. Seeing that Soong Qiu'er had recovered, her face was filled with joy as she hugged her and muttered something in her hands. Soong Qiu'er thought it was funny, so she gently pushed him away and put the paper bag on the table, "This is for you to eat."

Only then did Ah Mu smell the fragrance of the roasted chicken. He quickly opened the door and saw a shiny roasted chicken lying inside. He almost drooled and quickly tore off a chicken leg to start chewing.

It had been a long time since she had a taste of meat, and Soong Qiu'er only felt a little nauseous. Ah Mu still did not notice, so he handed two pieces of meat to Soong Qiu'er, "Qiu'er, you have some too."

Soong Qiu'er took it and tasted two mouthfuls. She went into the woodshed and dug a hole to hide the ninety silver taels that she earned. She originally wanted to find some more herbs, but she was afraid that Ah Mu would not eat them properly, so she carefully wrapped them up and put them into the bed.

After going out to gather herbs, Ah Mu was left to chop firewood. After wandering around, he saw that a lot of herbs had just sprouted, so he picked some to replenish his energy. After coming back, Ah Mu did not squat at at the entrance of the village, and it was quiet in the village. Soong Qiu'er was a little curious, so she put the herbs under a tree and returned to the Soong Family.

The Soong Family was in an uproar, and everyone was surrounding a tall man, it was Ah Mu.

Ah Mu opened his mouth to say something, but he was refuted by Madam Qian, who rushed forward. Soong Qiu'er wanted to enter the door, but was stopped by Soong Bao'er, who was gloating with a face full of schadenfreude.

It was unknown who was provoked by Ah Mu's words. A man wanted to hit Ah Mu, but was pulled back and thrown to the ground. Ah Mu shouted in pain and suppressed the man. The others rushed forward to teach Ah Mu a lesson.

Soong Qiu'er originally thought that Ah Mu would be bullied by someone, so she wanted to get away from Soong Bao'er and go after him. But who knew that Ah Mu suddenly let out a muffled groan and kicked the person beside him away. The other person also rushed towards Ah Mu, but was opened by him before he could even get close to Ah Mu.

Although she did not know Ah Mu's identity, but from his skill, Soong Qiu'er knew that he was definitely not an ordinary person. When fighting, his body was still reeking of blood, and although he was in a simple little courtyard, facing a group of farmers, he looked like he was on a battlefield.

Obviously, Soong Bao'er had never seen him before. She was a little dazed as she pointed at Ah Mu and asked, "The person you picked up, what is his identity?"

"I don't know either." Soong Qiu'er was silent. Ah Mu had also successfully scared the surrounding people away. He lowered his gaze, his long eyelashes casting a shadow in front of his eyes.

Soong Dazhuang saw that the crowd had stopped, so he ran to stop in front of Ah Mu and smiled apologetically at everyone, "This man was retrieved from the mountain by my great-nephew's daughter. I'm sorry if I hurt you."

"Aiyo, Dazhuang, why are you helping him out? If you want to help him, it'll be that little bastard." Madam Qian rolled her eyes, walked up to Ah Mu and gave him a kick: "If I were to say it, this Stupid Big Guy should be sold, so as to avoid making trouble for my old Soong Family."

The others knew that they couldn't blame Ah Mu even if they made a move. They could only glare fiercely at Ah Mu, before leaving the Soong Family courtyard one by one. Before leaving, they didn't forget to hit Soong Qiu'er twice.

Soong Qiu'er immediately ran in. Seeing that Madam Qian was still blabbering on about selling Ah Mu, she couldn't help but retort: "It's not like you didn't see how expensive that jade pendant is, what if it's Ah Mu's. It's just that Ah Mu forgot his identity and recklessly sold it to get him into trouble.

Her words were so convincing that Madam Qian was stunned for two seconds. She did not expect Soong Qiu'er, who had always been obedient, to argue with her. "You, what are you talking about? Do you think Stupid Big Guy is that kind of noble person?!"

"If he isn't like an esteemed person, how could he have such great skill!" Seeing the hesitation on Madam Qian's face, Soong Qiu'er added, "If you don't believe me, you can ask your daughter, Bao'er, to see if she thinks the same as I do!"

Soong Bao'er hesitated for a moment, but still nodded her head, "Indeed, Mama, what Ah Mu showed is not something a thief should do. We should check first and then sell Ah Mu."

Seeing that his temperament was indeed not bad, she crossed her arms over her chest. After thinking for a moment, she nodded at Soong Qiu'er: "Not bad, you said he's not an ordinary person, then go investigate. If you can't find him in the next few days, then I'll sell him to someone else!"
