Qin Tieniu's clear and sweet voice came to her ears. The young man carefully pulled her to the tree. With just a movement of her body, she jumped directly onto the tree and broke off the branch full of fruits.

This is - ancient Qinggong?

Qin Lu's eyelids raised unconsciously, and she couldn't help but be surprised when she saw the slender figure moving around in the tree.

"Daughter-in-law, are these enough to eat? Then let's go home."

However, it didn't take long for Qin Tieniu to grab a large bundle of branches covered with small red fruits and jump down.

Qin Lu frowned: "Wait a minute, I want to find something else to eat in the mountains."

If she only relied on these fruits to satisfy her hunger, she would have no problem, but how could Qin Tieniu, a boy who was about to grow, be able to hold on?

"There are only fruits in the mountains, my dad said."

Qin Tieniu scratched his head, but still let Qin Lu hold his hand and continue walking into the mountains. Qin Lu frowned and watched all the way. When his eyes fell under a tree, the expression on his face suddenly became happy.

This is... yam?!

She happily ran over and squatted down next to the small section of green stems and leaves exposed. Qin Tieniu was pulled by her and looked at Qin Lu in a daze as he squatted down and paved the ground with his chubby little hands: "Daughter-in-law, what are you digging for?

"

"Look for something delicious. This is called yam. It's delicious when steamed. I'll cook it for you when I go back."

Qin Lu explained patiently, Qin Tieniu scratched his head: "There are more over there, are they really edible?"

She subconsciously raised her head and looked towards where he pointed, and sure enough she saw a large swath of yam buds.

"It's going, it's going!"

Qin Lu was so happy that she almost jumped up. She took Qin Tieniu's hand and strode forward, squatted down and started digging the ground.

"Daughter-in-law, you rest, I'll come."

She was directly carried into the boy's arms. Qin Tieniu very carefully grabbed her muddy hand and wiped it on the hem of his clothes: "Are these all going to be dug out?"

"No, let's just dig five or six roots."

Qin Lu took a closer look at the yam. Although there were many, some seemed to have just sprouted and were obviously not yet fully grown.

Qin Tieniu nodded, squatted on the ground and dug out the yams carefully. Looking at the stick covered with roots, the expression on his face was obviously very surprised: "Is this really edible?"

"Yes, I will do it for you when you get back."

Qin Lu nodded, picked a wide leaf, hugged the yams, let Qin Tieniu hold the yams, and they went down the mountain together.

As soon as he walked to the door of the yard, he saw Qin Shitou leading a large group of people standing at the door of his house, all holding the boss's wooden stick in their hands.

"Oh, you little bitch, you stupid bastard, how dare you come back!"

Qin Shitou was helped by two people to sit on a chair. A pair of mouse eyes looked at the two of them coldly. His eyes fell on the yam wrapped in leaves, and his eyes couldn't help but shine: "What is that in your arms!"

Qin Tiezhu obviously thought of the fact that his family's food was taken away by Qin Shitou. He held the yam in his arms and looked at Qin Shitou warily: "I can't give this to you! My wife and I found this!"

"You bastard, you charged me today, and we haven't settled it yet!"

A fierce light flashed in Qin Shitou's eyes: "Could these two little beasts have dug some treasure in the mountains? Beat this stinky fool! Take the things from his arms!"

"Do you still have the law in your eyes?"

Qin Lu felt anxious. Even if Qin Tieniu could fight with great strength, there were so many strong men facing him, and they were all holding weapons!

"Wang Fa, hehe, I am Wang Fa! If you make any more noise, I will beat you, a stupid, fat, dead girl too!"

Qin Shitou raised his hand and was about to grab her, but Qin Tieniu took the lead and held her and Yao in his arms, protecting him tightly with his body.

"Fool! Run!"

Qin Lu was almost in tears. Hearing the sound of those sticks smashing down on Qin Tieniu's body, she couldn't help but feel pain in her heart. However, the two of them had been surrounded for a long time and there was no way they could run away.

What to do...

Qin Lu bit her lip tightly and could only protect the boy's head with her palms. A sudden dull pain came from her knuckles. She twitched her hand in pain and suddenly had an idea.

"Lie down quickly, twitch all over your body first, then roll your eyes and pretend to be dead!"

Qin Tieniu seemed to have heard her whisper, and was stunned for a moment before his whole body twitched crazily and fell to the ground.

"It's dead! It's dead!"

Qin Lu howled like crazy at the top of her lungs, raised her hand and pinched her thigh hard, squeezing out a few lines of tears: "Don't run away! You beat my husband to death! I will report it to the official and ask you to compensate."

life!"

Qin Shitou looked at Qin Tieniu, who was lying on the ground and looked lifeless, and his eyelids jumped in shock. It was just a small quarrel on weekdays, but if someone died... he would have to be sued!

"Run! Run! We didn't kill the person!"

The gangsters immediately dispersed. Qin Shitou limped and crawled away from the courtyard gate. Qin Lu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Get up quickly, are you hurt?"

Qin Tieniu kept his eyes closed tightly, fearing that his secret would be exposed if he did not do well. He opened his eyes when he heard the girl's soft voice and sat up from the ground. He scratched his head stupidly: "I'm fine, but my head hurts a little."

, my body also hurts a little."

"Come in, I'll give you some medicine."

Qin Lu frowned fiercely and led the young man into the house.

The Qin family was poor, and what little property they had was taken away by Qin Shitou's father under various pretexts. The small house was really like a family with only four walls.

She followed the memory of the original owner and found the medicinal wine to treat bruises. When she tiptoed to get it, her fingers suddenly encountered a slightly cool but warm touch.

What?

Qin Lu couldn't help but be a little surprised. She found a bench and stepped on it, her eyes suddenly became a little surprised.

There is a piece of white jade placed on a dusty shelf. Although it is covered with dust, it can be seen that the texture is of excellent quality. It should not be something that appears in such a remote and remote area. There is actually a dragon head carved on it, faintly visible.

A small "censorship" can be seen.

She carefully took off the jade and looked at Qin Tieniu sitting on the bed with a blank look on his face. After thinking for a while, she picked up the jade and walked to him: "Tieniu, do you recognize this thing?"

Qin Tieniu raised his eyelids in confusion. When he saw the jade pendant clearly, his expression suddenly became stunned for a moment.

This piece of jade...

Many messy pictures suddenly emerged in my mind, including majestic and gorgeous palaces, fires rising into the sky, and swords with cold radiance...

"I am very pleased with the words of the Ninth Prince Pei Zheng to be respectful, benevolent and filial, and give him a special gift..."

"Cover His Highness to leave!"

"Kill him! Kill him, and there will be no obstacles for me to ascend the throne in the future!"

He suddenly covered his head fiercely. Unable to bear the pain that almost crushed his head, he fainted.
