860: The Young Boy Looked Familiar

The Young Boy Looked Familiar

The old woman glanced at her, "It's your time of the month?"2

Jun Yexuan ignored her and tried to get Qiao Qing to where the car was. 

The old woman shook her head, "You don't want the herb anymore? I'm the only person living within 30km of the mountain. The road here isn't flat. By the time you drive her anywhere, she'll be very sick."

Jun Yexuan stopped his footstep. They drove here and knew that what this lady described was true.

He walked up to the old woman and pleaded, "Then, grandma, please take her to where you live."

The old woman hissed, "Hmmph, now you know to suck up to me!"

She then started to head down the mountain. 

The group followed.

Near the bottom of the mountain, there was a small hut. 

Since everyone here was used to living in mansions, this small hut startled them. 

Mu Jinghang couldn't help himself and exclaim, "Oh my lord. What year is it? How can such a place exist? Can this place survive through a rainstorm?"

The granny glared at him, "You stinky boy. What do you know! If you don't want to come inside, then wait out there!"

"I want to come in!" Mu Jinghang started to chuckle. 

He continued to steal glances at the frowning Qi Yusen. If someone OCD like Qi Yusen was okay with going in, what right did he have to complain?

Jun Yexuan stared at the pale Qiao Qing and started to sweat from anxiety, "Grandma, please hurry!"

"Alright, alright! Young people are always in a rush!" The old woman knocked on the door, "Xiaohu, open up!"

Before long, there was the sound of footsteps and the door subsequently opened. Out walked a young boy around the age of five or six, "Grandma… Huh? Who are those people?"

"They're beggars," The old woman answered nonchalantly and walked inside.

Mu Jinghang and the others were stunned by that response. 

The young boy named Xiaohu was also confused. He checked out these people from head to toe and murmured, "Grandma, compared to them, we look like the beggars."

The grandma, "..."

Mu Jinghang laughed and patted the young man's head, "You are a funny kid. Your name is Xiaohu? Just like your name, you act like a tiger!"

What he didn't say was how familiar this young boy looked to him. He wasn't sure where he'd seen him though. 

The young boy was startled to be touched by a stranger. 

He was about to walk away when the ball of red fur by his foot brightened his eyes, "A fox!"

Mu Jinghang lowered his head and laughed, "You're a kid after all. You two can go play."

The young boy's eyes brightened even more but he was a little scared, "Can I really play with it?"

Mu Jinghang said, "As long as the fox doesn't hate you."

The firefox rolled its eyes at Mu Jinghang. That idiot sure sold it out quick. 

While this was happening, Qiao Qing, Jun Yexuan, and Qi Yusen followed the grandma to the bedroom. 

The inside of the bedroom soothed Jun Yexuan and Qi Yusen.

Though this small hut appeared inhumane on the outside, the inside was organized and comfortable. The single-sized bed and the blanket looked very clean.
