After tasting it, he praised, "Aunt Xu's cooking is excellent!"
Aunt Xu smiled and said, "You have such a sweet tongue. I was wondering when Qin Shi became so eloquent. It turns out you taught him well."
Su Fuliu was taken aback for a moment, then waved her hand: "I didn't teach him. He is the head of Xuanyuan Pavilion and the chief of Jade Dragon Village, while I am just a lowly employer. How could I dare to teach him?"
Seeing that Su Fuliu was struggling to keep up with Aunt Xu's words, Qin Shi came to his rescue, saying, "Aunt Xu, where did you go on your travels this time?"
Seeing the two of them chatting, Su Fuliu quickly lowered his head and ate his breakfast.
Aunt Xu replied, "Me? I went to Xiao Kingdom this time, and..."
Before she could finish speaking, there was a loud thud...
Chapter 129 Was this really not something you kidnapped?
Aunt Xu and Qin Shi both looked at Su Fuliu.
Su Fuliu hurriedly picked up the bowl that had fallen on the table, apologizing profusely, "I'm so sorry, I accidentally dropped it and disturbed you."
Qin Shi laughed and said, "He's a timid person. Maybe he's a little scared when he sees Aunt Xu."
Aunt Xu replied, "Is that so? But I don't look fierce, do I?"
Su Fuliu quickly said, "Not at all, Aunt Xu is very kind and approachable."
After that, he silently lowered his head and ate his meal.
After glancing at him, Qin Shi continued chatting with Aunt Xu.
Su Fuliu sat there quietly, eating her meal obediently without interrupting.
After Aunt Xu finished chatting with Qin Shi, she didn't forget to praise Su Fuliu: "I've never seen such a well-behaved child before."
Su Fuliu smiled but didn't say anything.
Aunt Xu then looked at Qin Shi: "Tell me the truth, you really didn't bring this back?"
Qin Shi replied, "Then, Aunt Xu, just consider it as if I brought her back by force."
After breakfast, Qin Shi took Su Fuliu for a stroll around the village.
"Did you really slip and drop the bowl while eating?" Qin Shi asked as they walked.
Su Fuliu nodded: "Yes, I was a little nervous meeting strangers, and my palms were sweaty, so I couldn't hold the bowl properly."
Qin Shi glanced at him. Although his expression was still blank, there seemed to be some strange emotion flowing in his eyes, making it hard to understand.
Just then, a snow-white rabbit suddenly darted to Su Fuliu's feet.
Su Fuliu's eyes lit up, and she immediately squatted down: "What an adorable rabbit! Who owns it?"
Then a little girl ran over and said, "Big brother, this is my pet rabbit."
"So it was you who raised it. You've taken such good care of this rabbit; it's so plump and white." Su Fuliu stroked the rabbit's fur, then picked up the little rabbit and returned it to the little girl.
Qin Shi said, "Hmm, such a plump rabbit would definitely taste delicious roasted."
Upon hearing this, the little girl was so frightened that she immediately grabbed the rabbit and ran away.
Su Fuliu looked at Qin Shi speechlessly: "This little rabbit is obviously someone's pet. You actually want to eat it. Even if you were just joking, you shouldn't scare children. Look how scared that little girl is."
He gave Qin Shi a severe scolding.
Qin Shi did not refute, but stood there listening to his scolding.
Passersby were astonished by what they saw.
"I heard yesterday that the chieftain brought a young wife back, and it's true."
"I never expected that someone as magnanimous as the chieftain would be so afraid of his wife."
"Don't call it being afraid of your wife. The chieftain is just spoiling his wife. When she's disciplining you, you should just listen obediently."
"But I heard that the chieftain brought back a young master."
"Young master? No way, you mean our chieftain..."
"So what? It's fine as long as the chieftain is happy."
"Yeah, they do look quite well-matched."
"I also heard from Xiao Jin, who knocked on the door this morning, that the chieftain and this young master are already sleeping in the same room."
"Then this matter is a done deal, there's no way it can be changed."
Originally, the group was just whispering among themselves from a distance.
But as more and more people gathered to watch, even the quietest sound became louder.
Hearing the sound, Su Fuliu turned around and saw a crowd gathered behind her, watching.
Although he couldn't hear what they were saying, he could guess what it was from their excited gossip-loving expressions.
So he glared at Qin Shi. From Qin Shi's angle, he could definitely see that there were people watching behind him, but Qin Shi didn't warn him.
No wonder Qin Shi listened to his rant without uttering a single word; he was waiting to see him make a fool of himself.
That's absolutely despicable.
Su Fuliu grew angrier the more she thought about it, and left in a huff, feeling both ashamed and annoyed.
Qin Shi immediately chased after him: "Are you angry?"
"Get away from me, don't follow me," Su Fuliu said without even looking at Qin Shi.
“I was standing there being scolded by you, and so many people were watching. I didn’t even say where my reputation as the chieftain is. Why are you still angry?”
Qin Shi noticed that Su Fuliu was walking very fast, so he quickened his pace to catch up.
"You did it on purpose, deliberately to make them laugh at me. You're the chieftain, they wouldn't dare laugh at you. In the end, I'll be the only one laughing."
"If anyone dares to laugh at you, I'll beat them up. How about that?" Qin Shi coaxed.
But Su Fuliu was in a bad mood and didn't want to listen to him.
So she didn't answer, but instead walked briskly forward.
I just want to get away from Qin Shi and be alone.
But at that moment, Qin Shi's expression changed...
Chapter 130 Qin Shi, You've Gone Too Far!
"Su Fuliu, stop!" Qin Shi shouted.
Startled by his shout, Su Fuliu was still angry, but she obediently stopped walking.
Just as he was about to question Qin Shi about why he had suddenly shouted to scare him, he suddenly heard a deafening bark from ahead.
That sound was even more terrifying than Qin Shi's roar just now.
Startled, he quickly ran back and hid behind Qin Shi.
The dog kept barking incessantly.
Su Fuliu timidly peeked out and looked ahead.
The large, burly dog was barking wildly and jumping around as if it wanted to break free of its leash and break free.
Seeing that the dog was tied up, Su Fuliu felt much more at ease.
He coughed and stepped out from behind Qin Shi: "I... I thought it was something else, but it's just a dog."
Qin Shi glanced at him and watched him walk out with his head held high. He couldn't help but feel like teasing him, so he let out a "woof".
The sudden sound startled Su Fuliu, causing her rabbit fur to stand on end, and she instantly hid behind Qin Shi.
Qin Shi burst into laughter: "Young Master Su, you certainly have a lot of 'big' courage!"
"..." Su Fuliu's face flushed red, and she said angrily, "Qin Shi, you've gone too far!"
After saying that, he ran away.
Qin Shi was stunned for a moment, watching Su Fuliu disappear in a flash. Those skinny legs were pretty fast.
Seeing that the village gate was open, Su Fuliu ran out of the village in one breath.
He was really getting angry at Qin Shi; he had angered him several times that morning.
Only when he was tired from running did Su Fuliu stop and walk slowly. Sunlight shone through the branches and leaves, falling on his shoulders and casting a soft halo, making him look like a celestial being who had just descended from heaven, full of spiritual energy.
As he walked, he saw a small, bright red flower in front of him, and his eyes lit up.
He excitedly walked up to the little flower, and was about to reach out and pick it, but stopped just as his hand was about to touch it.
He frowned slightly, then immediately stood up and turned to leave.
After taking only a few steps, I couldn't help but look back again.
He sighed softly and then changed his route to continue walking.
But before they had gone far, they saw a person.
The man was carrying a basket, as if he were gathering herbs.
Just as Su Fuliu was hesitating whether to greet the person, the other person saw him and said, "How strange, is there really a little fairy in this mountain forest?"
Su Fuliu was taken aback when he saw the person looking in his direction. He then looked around and, not seeing anyone else, asked, "Are you talking to me?"
"Otherwise, are there any other people here?"
Su Fuliu smiled awkwardly: "No, not at all."
Then he walked over to the man and asked, "Are you gathering herbs?"
"Yes, that's right, herbs are at their best at this time of day."
“Yes, herbs nourished by both sunlight and dew are the best.” Su Fuliu nodded.
The man sized him up: "It seems you're in the same line of work, sir."
Su Fuliu paused for a moment, then shook her head: "No, no, I was just saying it offhand."
"You've hit the nail on the head even when you're just talking casually. It seems you're quite talented, young master," the man said with a smile.
