Chapter 399: Peace

Mrs. Liu's eyes were very red. "I don't know how much injustice Daukou suffered when she was a maid. She used to be very sensible..."

 Talk about the past again.

The younger members of the Liu family were not bothered. They listened attentively and paid attention, and even chimed in from time to time.

But Liu Doukou, after crying hard, cheered up and left the house with the small bottle given by her master.

 Find the little beggar I found yesterday.

“Remember what I told you before, right?” Liu Doukou looked directly at the little beggar, which made the child feel nervous.

 He carefully took the bottle and nodded blankly, "Oh."

"No, do you understand? My work is very important. I can only succeed and not fail." Her heart was burning, and Liu Doukou's eyes were filled with hatred, which was very oppressive for the child.

The beggar child nodded sadly, "I know, throw the contents of the bottle into the well."

Liu Doukou looked slightly relieved and promised: "Yes, if you complete it, not only you, but also the brothers and sisters with you will no longer have to wander around. If you fail, we will both die."

The word "death" made the beggar boy shake his body.

  …“…I’ll get it done.”

 After saying that, he took the things and ran away.

Zhuxi Village is quite famous in Suizhou and is a dream village for all those who are unhappy in life.

The beggar child passed by Zhuxi Village when he was wandering around. At that time, the children in the village were flying kites with something slippery on their feet. He watched quietly for a long time until he was spotted by a child...

The little beggar thought the children were going to beat them, so he ran away in fear.

 This is the beggar child’s initial impression of Zhuxi Village.

Good or bad, there is no doubt that...he envied the children living in Zhuxi Village. They had parents, unlike him who was scared to sleep in a dilapidated temple and was afraid of being kicked out.

All kinds of thoughts swept through my mind along the way, and the beggar child came to Zhuxi Village.

He is small in stature, has a dark face, and is very inconspicuous. He looks like a child brought by an adult.

 Children in the village have finished their homework and are playing at the entrance of the village.

Seeing an unfamiliar face, Dapeng waved familiarly, "Are you just here? Come and play with us. We happen to be short of someone."

The little beggar didn’t want to offend them, so he walked over with his head lowered.

 Thought Dapeng and others would beat him, scold him, and laugh at him like they had seen before.

Who knows but doesn’t.

Dapeng said: "Who in your family works in our village?"

When the little beggar heard this, he thought he had been exposed, and his face turned pale with fright.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Dapeng didn't think anything, but said: "The factory in our village pays very well. They will distribute pork and cloth next month. I heard from Brother Man that a lot of cloth will be distributed. Then you can I have new clothes to wear.”

 Why did he say this? Because he saw that the child who had just arrived was covered in patches.

The little beggar didn’t expect Dapeng to say this, so he stayed in place.

Dapeng has never seen anyone more boring than the guy in front of him. He said helplessly: "Why don't you speak? What's your name?"

 “…My name is Stinky Baby.”

“!!” The children in Zhuxi Village were all surprised by his name.

 Their village is at best a place of stones and idiots...

 “Is this your real name?” Dapeng asked.

 Guo Guo also opened her round almond-shaped eyes, and her tone was incredulous, "Who gave you this name? It's so casual."

The little beggar glanced at them and whispered: "I forgot who got it for me. Everyone keeps calling me that, and I become a stinky kid."

 After finishing speaking, he explained, "I remember I have a name. My name is Yu An."

 He still remembered that there were many people in his family.

“Wow, your name sounds so nice, let’s call you Yu’an.” Guo Guo praised in a flattering manner.

Yu'an said expectantly: "Yes, can you?"

"Of course." Guoguo clapped her hands, then looked at Dapeng, "Right, brother Dapeng." Dapeng nodded, "Yes, Yu'an sounds good."

Feeling that Yu An is a bit stupid, he responds when people call him a stinky kid, and then says: "Don't respond to anyone who calls you a stinky kid again. If he goes too far, you can also give him an unpleasant nickname."

Yu An's heart felt warm, just like soaking in warm water on a cold day. His whole body felt warm inside.

"good."

 Meeting another friend made Dapeng, who loves to call friends, very happy—

He suggested: "Yu An, this is your first time back to our village. You must have never seen the playground in our village. Come on, I will take you to see it."

 The playground was built by Shen Nian with money. It has swings, trampolines, slides, etc. It is the favorite place for children in the village.

 “I’ll go too.” Guoguo’s voice was clear.

 Other children are also clamoring to join.

 Dapeng waved his hand and said, "Go everyone."

 Yu'an was very happy to be accepted and happily joined them.

After walking for a while, he saw a well, and then he thought of Liu Doukou's words and the small bottle in his arms.

The little beggar raised his eyes and saw the smiles on the faces of Dapeng and others. He suddenly felt a little uncomfortable and his cheerful steps slowed down.

The man said that the thing in the bottle was croton, and eating it would cause diarrhea at most...

If he were a stupid kid... I would believe it, but he is not stupid, he is very smart.

 The contents in the bottle must be harmful.

 If he fell into the well, Dapeng and Guoguo might be like him. He didn't want that...

“What’s wrong?” Dapeng turned around and asked when he saw Yu An stopped.

Yu'an pinched the corners of his clothes, feeling embarrassed.

He doesn’t want to harm anyone anymore, but... he is also afraid that Dapeng and the others will know that he is here to harm them and will stop playing with him.

Dapeng was still urging, "Why are you standing there? Hurry up, we'll be there soon."

Yu stood there helplessly, almost crying.

 “What’s wrong with you?” Dapeng walked over in a few steps.

 Guo Guo and others also came back, looking at Yu An with concern.

"What's the matter?"

“Yeah, weren’t you fine just now?”

“Are you worried that your family will look for you? Don’t worry, everyone knows we are at the playground.”

 …

Hearing everyone's concerns, Yu An impulsively blurted out: "...Can you take me to the village chief?"

Dapeng was a little confused, "Why are you looking for the village chief?"

 It’s so strange.

 Looking at Yu An, his eyes were filled with inquiry.

Yu'an didn't want to tell her new friends about it, so he hesitated and said, "It's something."

“But the village chief has gone to the county,” Dapeng said.

Liu Doukou told the time to start. Upon hearing this, Yu An wanted to run around in circles.

At this moment, Guoguo said innocently: "The village chief is fine, but sister Nian'er is here. If you have any problems, please contact her."

"That's right." Dapeng patted his forehead and looked at Yu'an: "Do you have to go to the village chief, or can you just talk to anyone in the village?"

Yu'an heard about Shen Nian's name and nodded immediately, "Anything is fine!"

 What he wants is someone who can speak.
