Chapter 88: Chapter 68: The Villain Who Eats Frog Meat (Part 2)

Wang Chunhua had been quarreling for decades, from one end of the village to the other. When it came to speaking with venom, Xiao Xian couldn’t match her; if it was about loudness, Xiao Xian was even less a match. Seeing Xiao Xian not making a sound, Wang Chunhua shouted even louder.

"You tell me, which of your eyes saw my Duoduo stepping into your field. Besides, all the frogs hopping around the mountains, are they supposed to bear the Zhu family name too? Why don’t you shout at the frogs, and if they respond to you, I’ll return the frogs to you, you wild girl, only knowing how to make a ruckus at other people’s doorsteps, aren’t you ashamed?" The more she spoke, the more spirited she became; Xiao Xian still said nothing and stepped back, then suddenly grabbed a broom from her house and smashed it towards Wang Chunhua’s forehead.

Wang Chunhua, not taking a child seriously, grabbed the broom and was about to strike back.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Xian’s movements were surprisingly agile. She flipped the broom around, and suddenly, the direction of the broom handle changed, striking Wang Chunhua in the waist. Unsteady from the blow, Wang Chunhua fell to the ground like a toad, landing on a bag of frogs. With the frog bag opening, dozens of frogs sprang out, landing on her face and leaping high.

Seizing the moment before the cries of horror could spread, Xiao Xian heard Qian Duoduo’s voice coming from inside the house and quickly fled.

Behind her, a string of curses followed; Little Hai and others followed Xiao Xian out of the village before stopping. "Xiao Xian, stop running, no one is following," Little Hai called out from behind, but Xiao Xian did not turn her head, only leaving the shadow of her school bag, "I’m not going to school today, please tell Master Shanyin for me." Watching the direction Xiao Xian ran off to, she was heading towards Dongnan Miao Village.

Yezi didn’t sleep well last night, her mind full of the nets and guns at the entrance of Ge Village. When her Mama urged her to get up in the morning, her movements were sluggish.

"Yezi, move faster, don’t dawdle, Xiao Xian is already waiting for you downstairs," Yezi’s mother called from inside the house, hurrying Yezi.

"Xiao Xian?" Yezi was puzzled; he hadn’t planned to go to school with Xiao Xian. The boys in the village spoke ill, saying he and Xiao Xian were together. He didn’t mind, but Mama said that girls from the Han clan care about their reputation, it would be bad if others heard.

As soon as they met, Xiao Xian asked, "Yezi, do you want to drive those poachers out?"

Hearing this, Yezi perked up, "I’ve dreamed of it."

"That’s settled then, do you have any private money?" When Xiao Xian asked this, Yezi choked.

Xiao Xian had heard about the concept of private money from Sister-in-law Lian. One day while cooking, Lian mentioned finding twenty yuan in her husband’s shoehorn, also adding that men always hide private money behind their wives’ backs. A man with money turns bad, and when you see private money, you must seize it.

"Yes," Yezi hesitated, Xiao Xian didn’t ask how much he had but told him to bring all the money, saying that only with money could they drive away the gang of bad people led by Qian Duoduo.

Yezi had no choice but to go back and collect his money, coins, and paper bills, stuffing them all into Xiao Xian’s school bag. Yezi thought about it and felt something was off; wasn’t it agreed that they should listen to him outside? Now it turned out they were all listening to Xiao Xian. The two truants thus started their revenge plan.

Qian Duoduo left Ge Village at noon, and upon seeing that the frog meat he craved was ruined, his hunger pangs escalated. Thinking about the hundreds of frogs the "skunk" gang still had, he decided to go down the mountain to dine with them.

His mother, Wang Chunhua, had been busy all morning and hadn’t gotten any frog meat, so she was passionately cursing at the Zhu Family’s mansion. Zhu Shijun and the village chief had already gone up the mountain early to check for pest infestations in the rice paddies, and Sister-in-law Lian had retreated to her own home for some peace and quiet.

As he was driving, he noticed that the trunk of the car was open, and the net and that old shotgun were still there, so he closed the trunk lid and started the car to go find his gang of friends down the mountain.

Driving on the mountain road, he took a sharp turn and thought he heard some yelling. Listening again, it was just the roaring sound of the car’s engine, so he didn’t pay too much attention and just focused on driving.

"Xiao Xian, where are we?" Yezi was still a bit disoriented. After leaving Miao Village, Xiao Xian didn’t go anywhere else; he just led him into Qian Duoduo’s trunk. The trunk wasn’t very big, and with a layer of netting added, once the two of them got in, the lid wouldn’t close anymore.

If it weren’t for Xiao Xian’s sworn assurance that they could fit, he wouldn’t have believed it. At that time, Yezi was even dizzy from the gasoline fumes. In the blink of an eye, they arrived at a barren land with nothing around. After a while, Zhu Xiaoxian also appeared.

"Where is this? It’s quite spacious," Yezi had never seen such a large open space in the Southwest Mountain Area before. If it were planted with tea trees, it could probably accommodate thousands of them.

"It’s created by magic; it’s something your mother-in-law taught me. Hey, Little Pig, what are you doing? Don’t fly recklessly and don’t perch on the sugarcane seedling." Xiao Xian made an excuse, saying children were easy to deceive certainly worked on Yezi.

Yezi actually wanted to ask more, but "Little Pig," hiding in his arms, took the opportunity to come out for some air.

It was more perceptive than Yezi; upon entering, it sensed the uncommon atmosphere here, faintly filled with Spiritual Energy, and especially the "sugarcane seedling," which clearly wasn’t ordinary.

"Little Pig" wanted to land on the sugarcane seedling to take a closer look, but just as it landed, it got so scared that it immediately flew up as if the "sugarcane seedling" was something terrifying, and it was so frightened that it hid back in Yezi’s arms and refused to peek out.

The air in this space was much better than in the trunk, and after more than three hours, the car finally stopped.

Qian Duoduo opened the car door, got out, and started chatting with people.

"Quiet, it seems like we’ve arrived at those bad guys’ headquarters," Xiao Xian perked up his ears, apart from Qian Duoduo’s voice, he could actually hear people chattering away in English.
