In early spring, in the season of the growth of all things, the flower fields in the countryside were open and lively, which was a scene of vitality.
But not everyone could enjoy such a scenery.
With a sullen face, Chi Yuanqing walked on the dusty country road with a deep and shallow foot.
"Second Young Master, slow down." The butler wiped his sweat and trotted behind him. "Oh, this road is really hard to walk... Fortunately, it's not far away. When we pick up the young lady, we'll go back to the Chi family immediately."
Chi Yuanqing's face darkened even more when he heard that.
He came to the countryside to pick up his nominal "sister". She was a clown who had been wandering in the countryside since she was a child, and she was a life-threatening scourge!
When his mother was still pregnant with her, strange things happened to the Chi family. In order to give birth to her, his mother died of massive bleeding, which made him and his brothers become children without a mother overnight.
Chi Yuanqing sneered. Didn't she want to come back and enjoy the glory and wealth? It depended on whether she was lucky or not!
Anyway, he would never recognize this sister!
Chi Yuanqing strode to the broken wooden door and pushed it with a sullen face.
... He didn't push it.
He increased his strength impatiently. The wooden door, which he had been struggling to resist, seemed to suddenly lose its support and fell to the ground with a "sing" sound.
Chi Yuanqing: ...
A soft exclamation was heard. Chi Yuanqing looked up and saw a little bean with goat's horn braids sitting on the rein. He said with a serious tone, "Ah! The door is broken!"
"Grandpa Village Chief said that cultivation sects need two hundred yuan." Little Bean blinked his eyes and innocently looked at Chi Yuanqing. "Big brother, is it cash, WeChat or Zhi Fubao?"
The corners of Chi Yuanqing's eyes twitched as he carefully sized up the little girl in front of him.
"Are you late?"
She paused in her tracks and pursed her lips. She looked at him suspiciously. "Do you know me?"
The little girl spoke in a childish voice. Coupled with her baby fat face and big round eyes, she was born with an innocent taste, which made people unable to be cold-hearted.
Chi Yuanqing coughed lightly and tried hard to look noble and indifferent. "Pack up your things. I'm here to pick you up."
"Mmm..." Chi Duo was silent for a moment. She opened her big watery eyes and asked a question that came from her soul, "Who are you?"
"The Chi family?" Chi Zi pursed her lips. "I'm not going back."
"If you want to go back, pack up quickly... What did you say?" Chi Yuanqing's eyes widened. "You don't want to go back?!"
"Yes," the little girl said confidently, "I don't know you, why should I go with you?"
It was not easy for her to end her one-year journey. She found a way to make money in this quiet place where no one bothered her. How could she give up so easily?
Chi Yuanqing suppressed the joy on his face and couldn't wait to say, "You didn't want to go back. I didn't force you!"
He turned around and walked out, but was stopped by the housekeeper. "Second Young Master! We can't go! The old man said that we must take him back no matter what!"
Chi Yuanqing said impatiently, "Didn't you hear that? It's because she doesn't want to go back!"
It was not bad that he was willing to come here. Now that the little girl didn't want to go back, he was naturally happy to see her. How could he persuade her?
He couldn't wait for this little girl to go back to the Chi family for the rest of her life! The housekeeper rubbed his hands with embarrassment and said, "Well, Sir also said that if we can't take her back, we don't have to go back..."
The old master of the Chi family was seriously ill and his mind was not very clear. Every day, he shouted that he could only die with peace of mind if he had enough children and grandchildren. The Chi family had no choice but to send two people to pick him up in the countryside.
Chi Yuanqing: ...
He turned around angrily. Just as he was about to give Chi Duo a clear explanation of his intentions, he was mercilessly locked outside the door.
The soft voice of the little girl came from the yard. "If you have nothing to do, leave quickly. Don't waste my money!"
Chi Yuanqing was so angry that his face turned pale. Seeing that Chi Duo really had no intention of opening the door, he had to stay in the opposite house, ready to fight to the death with her here.
Coincidentally, he was a little curious as to how this cheap sister of his had managed to survive in such a poor and remote place.
Chi Yuanqing stayed on the opposite side for three days, but he couldn't see anyone every day. He finally found some clues after handing in the "door gate inspection" three times.
Early on Saturday morning, when the sun had just risen, a long line of people lined up in front of the late gate of the courtyard.
The people in line were very strange. Some were wearing school uniforms, some were dressed in suits and leather shoes, some were wearing white coats, and some were wearing casual clothes. Chi Yuanqing even saw a Taoist priest in the team.
He walked over and asked a middle-aged man who was waiting in line, "What are you waiting for?"
Although Chi Yuanqing was young, he was very vigilant and shook his head every time he asked anything. Chi Yuanqing asked several more people, but they didn't get any reply. The curiosity in his heart couldn't help but increase a little.
What on earth was this little girl trying to do?
When the sun rose three o'clock in the morning, the shabby wooden door slowly opened. At this time, the line of people had already arrived at the entrance of the village, and there were at least a hundred people.
The young man at the forefront couldn't wait to walk in. He came out in less than five minutes. He looked excited as if he had found some treasure.
The expressions of the people who came out from behind were similar. Chi Yuanqing couldn't help but be curious. He tied a stool in the nearby yard and quickly found a corner of the yard to sit down while Chi Duo didn't have time to pay attention to him.
The people in the queue looked at him suspiciously. Chi Yuanqing coughed softly and said, "Go on. I'm her relative. I'm here to observe."
When she heard this, she looked up and glanced at him. Seeing that he had no intention of causing trouble, she could not be bothered with him and continued to fiddle with the things in her hands.
"Hello, I want two."
It was a white-collar worker in neat clothes who came in. He rubbed his hands and looked a little nervous.
Chi Zi Zi picked up two paper bags and handed them to him without saying anything. The white-collared man immediately took out his mobile phone and transferred the money as if he had found a treasure.
"Zhi Fubao has transferred 10,000 yuan into my account."
The white-collared man left happily. Chi Yuanqing stared at his back with wide eyes, as if he had seen a walking fool.
"What's so expensive? A pack of 5,000 yuan?"
Before she could say anything, someone came in and said unhappily, "What are you arguing about? What if you delay Mr. Xiao's prescription?"
Chi Yuanqing couldn't help but sneer.
"A prescription? She's the only one?"
How could a little girl of four and a half years old be worthy of any panacea? These people's brains must have been kicked by a donkey.
