Chapter 120 Suspicious Uncle

In the quiet and quiet mountain villa, Yue Qianqiu and Yan Xu had a meal with great mountainous fun.

Cold wild vegetables, braised rabbit meat, stewed mushrooms with pheasant, hand-ground tofu after boiling in white water, and finally a pot of delicious fish soup made from seven or eight small fish caught in the mountain stream. All of them are blue-edged porcelain bowls placed on the large elm wooden table under the grape rack. Yue Qianqiu enjoys his praise and is very satisfied with this original delicacy.

However, the child's appetite was limited after all. He only ate less than a quarter of it, and the rest was swept away by Yan Xu's wind and the clouds. As for Zhou Jiyue, he had already eaten it and sat there with a smile as a pure guest. Liu Fangyuan was dragged back by Dai Zhanning to change out of the house early, so Yue Qianqiu was even more satisfied with it.

When they filled their stomachs, a total of four small and one old went out again. The maids in the villa did not give any comments on Yan Xu's entourage, but only took such four children. Instead, they smiled and led three slick little horses, which showed Yan Xu the way.

This time, Liu Fangyuan took the horse's back with a proud look and glanced at Yue Qianqiu like a demonstration. Seeing Yue Qianqiu busy talking to Zhou Jiyue, he saw the little girl smiling. He remembered that she had no good expression when she got along with him. He couldn't help feeling a little uneasy, so he deliberately spoke to Dai Zhanning, "Brother Ning, how about we racing horses later?"

When Yue Qianqiu saw that the little brat actually showed his power to him, he winked at Zhou Jiyue who wanted to retort. Then he stroked the neck of the mount under him and said with a smile: "Dahuang, you have to be more obedient in a while. Don't bully those three horses smaller than you on the road, and run slowly, older people must be arrogant, do you understand?"

Liu Fangyuan felt that this was a point of criticism and almost turned his nose tilted.

Yan Xu did not notice the signs of separation between the children. Instead, he nodded happily according to his apprentice's words: "It makes sense. I will slow down a little later so that I will not run like a happy run, and you will not be able to catch up. This is the thousand-mile horse I came back from the stables in the palace. Next time I will come back with a few horses to send you!"

This promise immediately made Liu Fangyuan burst into full bloom and he had no time to get angry with Yue Qianqiu. What reacted faster than him was the three consistent thanks.

"Thank you, Mr. Yan!"

"Thank you, Master!"

Yan Xu was very happy and rushed out with a shaking the reins. Dai Zhanning and Zhou Jiyue naturally followed in a hurry.

Liu Fangyuan, who was stunned for a long time and found that he forgot to thank him, hurriedly chased after him, but was already far behind. He could only complain in anger and anxiously, and Dai Zhanning did not remind himself to say thank you. In this way, he couldn't help but feel cruel.

He didn't believe that the two of them could go as fast as they rode, and he had to win one more time next!

Although there was a maid in advance and the place to be found was not far from Princess Dongyang, Yan Xu and four children, one of whom was competitive, naturally attracted another Zhou Jiyue to follow suit. He didn't know how many times he had raced along the way. When they started looking for a place, they discovered a difficult problem.

I was only concerned about riding my horse along those easy-to-go roads, and now I seem to be... lost?

Facing the dejected Liu Fangyuan, Zhou Jiyue with guilty face, helpless Dai Zhanning, and his master Yan Xu who was looking around and trying his best to do nothing, but in fact, he could see that his sweat was exposed on his forehead. Yue Qianqiu felt very stressed.

He had known for a long time that these people were not that reliable, but now it seems that it is simply too unreliable!

"Haha, this path looks like people often walk on it, so there is no one to see it. You can't find someone to ask for directions." Yan Xu wiped his forehead and yelled, "It's okay, if you can't find it, let's go back the same way."

"Master, do you remember the way back?" Yue Qianqiu turned his head and saw Yan Xu's face froze. He covered his forehead and said, "Fortunately, I have recorded some roads along the way, and I don't know if there is anything wrong... In short, let's turn around!"

Dai Zhanning should have said that he remembered the road, but he didn't expect that Yue Qianqiu would remember the road too. He moved his heart and didn't speak. When he walked back and walked through two forks of roads, he found that Yue Qianqiu's road was exactly the same as what he remembered. He couldn't help but look up at the ninth son of the Yue family again. After all, his ability was intentionally trained by his father Dai Jinglan.

But just as he was thinking this way, he suddenly heard Yan Xu shouting in surprise.

"Hey, I finally saw someone!" After saying this, Yan Xu rushed over without saying a word.

The sharp-eyed Yue Qianqiu also saw the man wearing a straw hat and carrying a basket, which looked a bit like a woodcutter, but the other party's reaction made him a little suspicious. Because when he found out that he was in his group, the other party turned around and ran away!

He was stunned for a moment and shouted loudly: "Uncle, we are just asking for directions and have no malice. Besides, can you run more than four legs on two legs?"

The woodcutter ran out a few steps, and stopped when he heard Yue Qianqiu's voice, and turned around hesitantly. Under the hat was a square, bearded man with a simple and honest face at first glance.

It was clear that the person who came was a big and four, and his clothes were furious. He was obviously either rich or noble. His face changed slightly, and then he asked quietly: "Do you dare to ask where the young ladies are going?"

Yan Xu didn't care about the fact that he ran away from the plague god. He looked at the person and asked: "The Bai family in Jinling City is the family where the head of the master is a member of the Ministry of Works. Do you know how to leave their late old lady's village?"

As soon as these words were said, Yue Qianqiu noticed that the woodcutter's right hand holding the machete suddenly trembled slightly. He moved his heart, but he did not pierce it. He saw that the other party was silent for a long time before he finally had an answer.

"I know, but there are only some village houses living there, which is not a good place to go for outings..."

"Who said he went out for an outing?" Yan Xu couldn't help frowning, but he had been hang out among the people for many years and would not be impatient with those who were playing dandy, or would speak ill of bad words, or would patiently induce him, "We are looking for people. If you know the way and take us there, there will be a thank you."

Yue Qianqiu noticed keenly that when he heard the word "finding someone", the woodcutter's eyes changed a little. This time, he immediately had a guess. The other party was likely to know not only the Bai family's village, but also had something to do with it. Therefore, he coughed and said, "Uncle, if you really don't know us, take us to a place where there are people, we can ask for directions and find us!"

"No, I know you, I will lead the way for the young ladies and the ladies!"

Hearing this, Liu Fangyuan immediately breathed a long sigh of relief, but Zhou Jiyue saw his relieved look and said, "If someone hadn't caused trouble all the way, we wouldn't have lost!"

"Who are you talking about?" Liu Fangyuan was immediately ignited like a firecracker. "If you hadn't had to compete one after another, you wouldn't have lost your way!"

"Shut up, A Yuan!" Dai Zhanning finally couldn't stand this childish companion, "Is it very glorious to argue with a girl?"

His words were originally meant to calm down, but Zhou Jiyue was extremely disliked when she saw Liu Fangyuan. When she heard the words "Girl", she became more and more angry and retorted: "Yes, it's not glorious to argue with girls. So how can you beat girls?"

This time, Dai Zhanning's face was a little unfavorable, not to mention Liu Fangyuan, who was so angry that he was trembling all over.

Yue Qianqiu only felt that these three people were simply incompatible with each other, but he had no time to sigh and could only be a peacemaker.

"Is it over? Jiyue, can't you show off your appearance as a sister? Liu Fangyuan, can't you show off your macho spirit? Is it embarrassing to argue like this in front of outsiders?"

Seeing that the disciple finally suppressed both sides for a while, Yan Xu breathed a sigh of relief and thought that he had good vision and his apprentice had the ability. In addition to having a big fist, it was the truth, and being a strong mouth could also suppress others!

He immediately said to the stunned woodcutter: "Okay, okay, you lead the way, you will definitely give me a thank you when you arrive in Baijiazhuang!"

The woodcutter came to his senses. When he was walking ahead, he asked carefully: "A few young ladies came out of Jinling City? Why didn't they bring a follower? How dangerous is it to be lost in the wilderness!"

"You said it was a wilderness, not a wilderness. Besides, since there is a road and you can always meet someone, wouldn't you meet you?"

Although Yan Xu had a rough face, he had been hanging out for many years. He vaguely noticed that the woodcutter seemed to be testing the origin of his group. He casually pretended to be careless and talked to others one by one, one by one.

Yue Qianqiu noticed this clue as he listened. Seeing Yan Xu's irresistible questioning, he knew that the master was also suspicious. Sure enough, when he insisted that the single woodcutter mentioned that he had picked a lot of fresh mushrooms and planned to go back to make soup, and even asked Yan Xu to see what was in the backpack, Yan Xu suddenly asked.

"If you get so many mushrooms at the market, you can sell them for a few dollars. If you make soup, you will definitely not be able to finish them alone. This season is already hot, and the food is too much, and it will break the next day. The mushrooms will not be fresh for two days. This brother, you are definitely not the only one in your family, right?"

As soon as Yan Xu finished speaking, he heard Zhou Jiyue scolding and jumped off the horse's back, blocking the woodcutter's way. She moved quickly, and Liu Fangyuan and Dai Zhanning were not slow either. After jumping off the horse, they kept their left and right.

Seeing that these three children who have been wandering outside for a long time were so vigilant, Yan Xu was very satisfied and immediately pinched the joints of his hands and made a crackling sound, clearly showing a warning.

Yue Qianqiu, who cooperated with him, said with a smile: "Uncle, we don't know you, but I just asked you to lead the way. But not only did you have problems with the way you led, but you also deliberately lied to us. It's really unkind!"
