The pet career of Shaoqing of Dali Temple

Chapter 149 Declining the Kindness, the Invitation from Qingshui Village

It was late at night when Qing Moyan returned to Shifang Town.

The house was silent.

He changed his clothes and entered the inner room.

Ru Xiaonan curled up on the bed, and the quilt had been thrown away somewhere.

When Qing Moyan lay down, Ru Xiaonan seemed to feel the heat around her, she moved closer to him, and hugged him into his arms.

Pulling the quilt to cover the two of them, Qing Moyan closed her eyes, feeling the warmth in her arms and relaxing.

The next day, when it was time for breakfast, Shi Datian came over excitedly.

"Last night, something happened to the shopkeeper Xiong of Ci Yaotang. For some reason, this guy drank too much and drove out of town by himself in a carriage. He was gnawed to death by a wild beast."

Ru Xiaonan stuffed her mouth with rice, and looked up at Shi Datian curiously.

"My lord is eating, can't you say something else?" Xuanyu said angrily.

Shi Datian was stunned, and smiled, "I have inquired about other things, I am afraid that I will disappoint you."

Qing Moyan put down her chopsticks first, and glanced at Ru Xiaonan, who was still struggling for her job.

"Let's go out and talk."

Shi Datian frantically followed Qing Moyan outside.

"It's hard to find out about Mrs. Du in Shifang Town." Shi Datian regretted, "She has been in Shifang Town for many years, but she rarely shows her face in public. Some people say that she is over 60 years old this year, but She looks like a young woman, that small face...that figure..."

Shi Datian was frothing when he said that, and his hands were still gesturing in the void.

Xuan Yuqing coughed.

Shi Datian woke up suddenly, and hurriedly put on a serious look, "Therefore, you can't ask anything about her in Shifang Town. If you want to know about her, you have to ask the people in Qingshui Village or the surrounding area. People in other villages may know something too."

"Those villages existed long before Shifang Town." Qing Moyan asked.

"Yes, Mrs. Poison appeared later. Since she had her, Shifang Town has prospered. With her protection, the town was protected from the wild beasts in the forest. Looting...just one thing is very strange..." Shi Datian scratched his head.

"What's strange?" Qing Moyan looked at him.

"Girls in their teens in the town are particularly prone to accidents, and strange people often disappear. For so many years, the wealthy families in the town have tried to move away, and there are fewer and fewer girls left. Lin Shen, even young people don’t like to come here, so when you see a girl from a foreign country, you can grab it if you can...Of course, we don’t dare to..."

Shi Datian chuckled, but Qing Mo's face became more solemn.

At this moment, Ru Xiaonan's crisp childish voice came from outside the door, it sounded like she was talking to someone.

Qing Moyan glanced at Xuanyu.

Xuanyu immediately opened the door and went out, only to see Cai Yiming standing in the yard with a servant, talking to Ru Xiaonan with a smile on his face.

"Is this for me?" Ru Xiaonan held a brocade box in her hand and looked at it curiously.

There is a pair of jade hairpins in the brocade box, and the hairpins are hollowed out with butterflies carved. Although they are not priceless, they are exquisite in workmanship, and you can tell they are not common things at a glance.

Ru Xiaonan touched the hairpin, but the expression on her face was not as happy as Cai Yiming imagined.

"Don't Miss Ru like it?" Cai Yiming asked in surprise.

In his impression, there is no woman who doesn't like jewelry.

Every time he returned to the mansion, the younger sisters in the mansion and the concubines in his back house, no matter who saw the jewelry he brought back, they would all smile.

He looked down at the expression on Ru Xiaonan's face, and a musky fragrance came over his face.

He was stunned.

From the face of the other party, he could tell that she hadn't applied makeup, and she didn't have any sachets on her body.

He couldn't imagine where this fragrance came from, and if he got closer, it seemed that this smell came from her, from her hair, from her skin, from her breath... all of them carried this fragrance.

For a moment, Cai Yiming couldn't help falling into a trance.

"Cai Yiming?" The crisp childish voice pulled him back to reality.

This was the first time that Cai Yiming was called by his first name by a girl in his teens.

"What's wrong with you?" Ru Xiaonan blinked her green cat eyes, "It's very impolite for you to keep staring at me like this." She complained with a sincere attitude.

Cai Yiming couldn't help laughing, "Miss Ru is right, I was rude."

Ru Xiaonan held the brocade box and handed it over.

"Why, you don't like it?" Cai Yiming asked puzzled.

Ru Xiaonan shook her head, "No, I like it very much, but I can't take your things." She forced the brocade box into Cai Yiming's arms.

"Then why..."

"Qing Moyan doesn't like me taking other people's things." Ru Xiaonan stuck out her tongue at him, turned and ran away.

Cai Yiming stood there holding the brocade box, the scent of musk diffused, and gradually faded as she moved away, as if it was pulling his heart away.

He was in a daze, when suddenly Xuanyu's voice came from behind him: "My son asked Mr. Cai to come in and talk."

Cai Yiming quickly collected his thoughts and followed Xuanyu into the house.

Qing Moyan's eyes first fell on the brocade box in Cai Yiming's arms.

"Mr. Cai is here to give gifts?"

Cai Yiming smiled, "It's just some gadgets, I thought Miss Ru would like them, but she said you wouldn't let them."

"That's right." The corners of Qing Moyan's lips curled up, and she admitted without concealment, "I don't allow her to accept gifts from others except what I give her."

"Why?" Cai Yiming looked surprised, "I don't mean anything else."

"This girl is simple-minded, and she could easily be abducted because of some small favors. Naturally, I have to take precautions in advance."

These words were so straightforward that not only Cai Yiming, but even Shi Datian, who was still in the room, was startled.

It's obviously domineering, but when Qing Moyan said these words, people naturally accepted them.

Cai Yiming smiled awkwardly, and put the brocade box on the table.

The other party's words have already reached this point, and it seems that he has ulterior motives to force him to send it.

"I don't know why Mr. Cai came here?" Qing Moyan said bluntly.

Cai Yiming took out a small wooden sign and put it on the table, "This is an invitation from Qingshui village. Last time you saved their people, the village owner wants to invite you to participate in the God of Medicine Sacrifice in the village."

Qing Moyan picked up the wooden sign and looked at it, "When is the God of Medicine Sacrifice?"

"Tomorrow." Cai Yiming stood up while talking, "I will go that day too. If Mr. Qing also wants to go, we will go together then."

Qing Moyan nodded, this is considered a default.

Cai Yiming then bid farewell.

When leaving the yard, Cai Yiming heard the sound of dogs barking from behind the tree, mixed with the crisp laughter of a girl, ringing like silver bells, and scattered all over the ground with the autumn wind.
