Chapter 824 - 824: Settlement
Although the cattle field was very big, there were too many cows, so they still had to cut grass outside to satisfy the needs of all the cows.
The responsibility of cutting grass was naturally assigned to everyone.
When it was Wu Dadong’s family’s turn to cut the grass, Li Qiuxiang did it herself.
Li Qiuxiang liked to go out and cut grass.
She could walk out of the Wu family’s house and go to the surrounding mountains to breathe fresh air when cutting grass.
Grass wasn’t just in one place. This time, there was grass here, but next time, she would have to look elsewhere.
The more places she walked, the more familiar she became with the surrounding terrain.
Li Qiuxiang accidentally discovered a shortcut down the mountain. Out of curiosity, she even went to take a look, but she realized that no one knew this path, so she secretly noted it down.
However, she couldn’t expect that her curiosity back then would save their lives now.
Li Xiaoran and the others weren’t very familiar with this mountain, but she had her own thoughts.
“Sister Qiuxiang, is the road you mentioned far from the Wu family’s courtyard?”
“Quite far!” Li Qiuxiang said.
“Is the way out of the mountain close to the intersection where the Wu family usually goes down the mountain?” Li Xiaoran asked again. After Li Qiuxiang thought for a moment, her expression changed.
“It’s not far. It can be seen from there!” Li Xiaoran shook her head and said, “That won’t do. We can’t take that path!”
“Head east!” Wu Qinghe said at this moment.
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she walked east without hesitation.
After about four hours, the Wu family sensed that something was amiss and came to the hall to look for them.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they went outside, they saw the unconscious people on the ground, so they quickly rushed into the hall.
Fortunately, they found the Wu family’s unconscious people in the hall.
They quickly carried them back and called the family members who had medical skills over to see what was going on.
Unfortunately, the Wu family knew that they had been drugged, but they couldn’t wake them up.
This time, everyone was at their wit’s end.
It was also because of this that no one had the time to care about who was missing from the Wu family. Instead, they went to look for famous doctors.
As Li Xiaoran and the others walked east, they returned to the road they had come from.
They returned to Hele Village that afternoon.
Because Li Qiuxiang and her family had nowhere to go for the time being, Li Xiaoran settled them in the farmstead.
The Wu family couldn’t care less about them now, but as time passed, they would definitely discover that Li Qiuxiang and her family had left. At that time, they would also suspect them.
Therefore, the safest place now was Luo Cheng’s farmstead.
As long as Li Qiuxiang’s family couldn’t go out, the Wu family wouldn’t be able to find them and their family would be safe.
Not long after the group arrived home, it started raining heavily in the mountains again.
Just like that, the rain washed away the footprints left behind by Li Xiaoran and the others.
Even if the Wu family brought hunting dogs to look for them, they wouldn’t be able to smell Li Xiaoran and the others.
After Li Xiaoran returned, Luo Cheng happened to be there.
Seeing the group return in a panic, Luo Cheng realized something.
“What’s wrong? Did something happen?”
“Sigh, don’t mention it. Husband, get someone to prepare water and a bowl of delicious rice noodles for me. I’m really exhausted now! I had new gains this time, but I also encountered danger! Fortunately, everything is under our control. I’ll tell you after I recover!” Li Xiaoran said weakly.
“Then rest. I’ll go look for Zi Cheng!” Luo Cheng nodded and said when he saw that Li Xiaoran was really tired.
Li Xiaoran quickly took a hot shower.
“Sigh, as expected, it’s more comfortable to take a hot shower in my own bathtub!” As Li Xiaoran felt the comfort brought by the hot water, she sighed.
When Li Xiaoran came out of the shower and dried her hair with a handkerchief, the rice noodles were sent over.
Perhaps considering that Li Xiaoran had just returned from a wet place, the chef made a bowl of sour chili chicken rice noodles.
Perhaps Li Xiaoran was really hungry, but she ate the noodles in big mouthfuls.
Soon, she finished the large bowl of noodles!
After eating and drinking her fill, Li Xiaoran lay on her bed and fell asleep.
On Li Qiuxiang’s side, after the family arrived at the farmstead, they were given a house with a single courtyard.
There was some simple furniture inside, but they still had to add some more.
The people in the farmstead were very enthusiastic. Seeing that their family had nothing, they gave them some things and let the family settle down first.
As soon as they sat down to rest, hot water and clean clothes arranged by Li Xiaoran were sent over. Then, a table of sumptuous food was sent over.
After eating and drinking their fill and changing into clean clothes, the family went to their room to rest.
They were really too tired. Not physically, but mentally.
What happened today was too sudden and they were exhausted, so they might as well lie down and rest first!
They slept until it was dark.
If someone hadn’t brought them food and woken them up, the family would have slept until dawn.
After dinner, Li Qiuxiang’s parents called her to the living room. After the family of three gathered, they talked about what had happened today.
After Li Qiuxiang explained, Li Qiuxiang’s parents finally knew what had happened.
The old couple couldn’t expect Wu Dadong, who looked like a good person, to be such a coward.
Not only was he cowardly, but he was also greedy and ungrateful.
Why hadn’t they discovered he was such a person?
Li Qiuxiang’s mother said, “Fortunately, you don’t have children. Otherwise, how would you have lived in the future?! Why is our family so unlucky?! Previously, we met an ingrate, and now, we’ve met an ungrateful person. What sin have we committed to be so unlucky?! ”
“Mother, you can’t say that! Think about it, last time we were in trouble, it was Xiaoran who saved us! Now, Xiaoran saved our family again and even arranged for us to work in the farmstead! I feel that this is a blessing in disguise! As long as we work hard in the farmstead, our lives will definitely get better and better!” Li Qiuxiang had different thoughts from her mother. She felt that their good days were about to begin..
