Chapter 42: They’ve Already Kicked Us Out
“This······” Gao Yong turned his head back at a loss and looked at everyone.
“Let’s go back first!” Meng Yichen sighed and spoke.
“But······”
“Yi Chen is right, let’s go back first!” Chu Yu walked over, put his arm around Gao Yong’s neck, and dragged him toward the door.
“Take away the things you brought.” Lin Xin’s cold voice came from the inner room.
Chu Yu’s footsteps paused, he first picked up a skinned roe deer and stuffed it into Gao Yong’s hands, then gathered the feet of two wild chickens and carried them, while his other hand dragged Gao Yong out of the courtyard gate.
The last to leave was Cui Shi, the little old man looked back three steps at a time staring at Lin Xin’s room door, but until they walked out of the courtyard gate, he still didn’t wait for Lin Xin’s second sentence.
“Sigh!” Once on the horse carriage, Cui Shi leaned against the carriage compartment and let out a long sigh.
“Brother Qing, this young lady is too much! You old man even told her how important that thing is, not only did she not hurry to hand it over to us, she even chased us all out, really······ if I weren’t someone who doesn’t hit women, I’d have to give her a lesson!” After leaving the village, Gao Yong was the first to hold it in no longer and roared out.
“Don’t brag, let alone you, even if the three of us tie together we might not be that person’s opponent, right, Brother Xiao Qi?” Chu Yu turned his head to look at Zhou Qi who hadn’t spoken from beginning to end.
“Shopkeeper Yu once said that her kung fu might not be inferior to the general.” Zhou Qi said.
“Impossible, that young lady is only so old! Even if she started practicing kung fu from the womb, she couldn’t be more powerful than the general!” Gao Yong expressed disbelief.
“Is this the time to discuss this? Shouldn’t we be thinking about how to get our hands on that thing?” Ling Qing looked at Gao Yong with a headache, who got carried away whenever kung fu was mentioned.
“Actually, what we should consider most now is how to ease relations with Miss Lin!” Chu Yu said.
“The reason Miss Lin is angry is because she thinks Old Cui taking her younger brother as his last disciple and Yi Chen wanting to teach her younger brother are not entirely sincere, but have ulterior motives, which to her is pure exploitation, and since she and her younger brother have depended on each other for many years, she naturally cannot tolerate our behavior.” Zhou Qi’s few words made everyone silent.
“Cough cough,” a light cough from Meng Yichen came from the carriage, then he said: “Actually Nan Nan is indeed a smart child, I really wanted to teach him to read out of sincerity, but······ Miss Lin probably won’t believe me anymore.”
After speaking, he sympathetically glanced at Cui Shi who had been closing his eyes and leaning against the carriage compartment without a word since getting on the carriage, thinking that Old Cui was so miserable, a good little disciple just flew away like that, completely dragged down by these people!
Upon arriving at the medical hall, Cui Shi didn’t even let them help him, he staggered off the horse carriage, ignored everyone, and went into the medical hall without looking back, slamming the door shut with a “bang”.
The people in the carriage and those on horseback looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
“Alright, let’s go back first! Wait until my brother is clear-headed again and ask him how to break this situation!” Meng Yichen said helplessly.
Everyone had no good ideas, and they all returned to the Meng Family dejectedly.
As soon as they entered the door, they saw a sword-browed star-eyed youth with a jade crown binding his hair and a tall slender figure standing in the courtyard, his forehead slightly sweaty, holding a spear in his hand.
“Eh? Zi Yuan is here?” Gao Yong immediately threw the horse reins in his hand to Chu Yu beside him, ran over to the youth, and happily punched him on the shoulder.
“Brother Yong,” the youth unobtrusively stepped back two steps, coolly and faintly greeting the others: “Brother Qing, Brother Yu, Brother Qi, Brother Yi Chen.”
“Zi Yuan, since you’re here, then over at the crown prince······” Ling Qing asked.
Mo Ziyuan shook his head, “Not good, the third prince is pressing step by step, some turncoats in the court have already sided with him, if we can’t find the grand tutor’s evidence of crime soon, it will probably take much more kung fu to achieve final victory, and more sacrifices.”
“I know where that thing is, but······ but we can’t get it!” Gao Yong said, his expression quite wronged.
“What happened? Explain clearly!” Mo Ziyuan said in a deep voice.
“Brother Qing, you say.” Gao Yong quickly darted behind Ling Qing, stretched out a finger and poked his back, after hearing Zhou Qi’s words, he also knew that today’s matter couldn’t blame Miss Lin at all, and even felt quite ashamed of himself for doing such a thing.
“Me? No way, let Brother Xiao Qi say.” Ling Qing didn’t want to face Mo Ziyuan’s dark face at all, and quickly hid behind Zhou Qi with Gao Yong’s big tail.
In the end, a string of tails dragged behind Chu Yu stood behind Meng Yichen, looking exactly like a game of eagle catching little chickens.
“Let me say it!” Seeing Mo Ziyuan’s face getting darker and darker, Meng Yichen recounted what they did from beginning to end without hiding anything.
“You mean,” Mo Ziyuan narrowed his eyes looking at him: “You big men teamed up with Old Cui to deceive a teenage young lady and a three-year-old little boy?”
“No!” Gao Yong hurriedly denied, and threw the blame without any burden: “We didn’t intend to deceive, didn’t······ didn’t succeed in deceiving, but this idea was Brother Jing’s, we were all just following his orders.”
Mo Ziyuan ignored him, “How are you sure that thing is in that young lady’s hands?”
“This······” Several big men looked at each other, it seemed like ha, but······ “Old Cui said they have a big tiger at home, and it’s a big tiger with an injured hind leg, the general also said he inserted the thing into a tiger’s hind leg.”
“So you mean that young lady having the thing in her hands is all your own guess?” Mo Ziyuan’s voice grew lower, those who knew him knew he was angry, and everyone fell silent not daring to speak.
“Yi Chen, you too, going to be her mister for this?” He turned his gaze to Meng Yichen again.
“No, at first I was aiming for the ginseng in their home, Old Cui said his last ginseng was bought from Miss Lin, later he took a liking to Miss Lin’s younger brother and accepted him as his last disciple, then Miss Lin gave him another better quality ginseng, my brother needs ginseng very much now, so······”
Seeing Mo Ziyuan’s face darken more, he added: “But after getting to know him later, I really like that child Lin Nan too, so I sincerely want to be his mister.”
As he spoke, he lowered his head dejectedly, “I think Nan Nan probably doesn’t want me as his disciple now either, he should hate us to death just like his older sister.”
After hearing this, Mo Ziyuan stood up expressionlessly and walked toward the door.
“Zi Yuan, where are you going?” Ling Qing asked.
“To Willow Forest Village.” Mo Ziyuan walked toward the door without stopping, leaving everyone with a tall and straight back.
“Hey, do you think Zi Yuan’s trip will be useful?” Gao Yong waited until Mo Ziyuan’s back was completely out of sight before lowering his voice to ask everyone.
“It should be, things Zi Yuan wants to do seem to never fail.” Chu Yu touched his chin thoughtfully and said.
“Hope Miss Lin gives him the thing for the sake of his face!” Ling Qing came up with a reason from another angle.
“Then if we get the thing, do we still need to build a house in Willow Forest Village?” Gao Yong asked again.
“Build it! I promised to teach that child to read, so I should achieve it.” Meng Yichen said.
“But······ they chased us all out, including you.” Gao Yong spoke the truth.
“If we did wrong, we should admit it, I will apologize where I should, hope Miss Lin can forgive me!” Meng Yichen sighed to the sky, and said with a bitter smile.
