Chapter 103: Heavy Reward

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Wang Jinxue looked at the old man lying on the ground with a glint in her eyes, especially since the wound on the old man’s forehead had been treated.

Could this have been handled by Su Li just now? At the thought that this old man was saved by Su Li, Wang Jinxue, she was furious. She kicked the old man a few times and spat on his face.

“No one related to that woman has a good ending, so you can just lie here and wait to report to the King of Hell!” Wang Jinxue cursed as she carried the pigweed on her back and left.

She wouldn’t save this old man. It had nothing to do with her. She couldn’t wait for this old man to die immediately so that she could find trouble with Su Li.

Not long after Wang Jinxue left, the old man moved slightly and sat up with his hands on the ground.

“Hiss-” The pain on his forehead made him gasp.

He touched his forehead. “Eh, did someone bandage my wound for me?”

Then, he realized that his hand had also been bandaged. Could it be that he had been saved just now?

However, in this mountain, who knew medicine? Moreover, saving people without leaving a name. Were people so noble nowadays?

“Why is there water on my face?” Zeng Qing wiped the water off his face with his hand and even brought it to his nose to smell it. The smell almost made him vomit.

He frowned. It wasn’t raining and there was no dew. Where did the water on his face come from?

After thinking for a long time, Zeng Qing could not figure it out, so he decided not to think about it. He carefully looked at his environment again. This environment was very unfamiliar. Although he was from this county, he really did not know which village this was.

In order to avoid that group of people, he kept running. However, it was too obvious to take the carriage. Hence, in the end, he did not take the carriage and ran to an unknown place with his things. However, he thought too highly of himself.

Years of pampering had made it impossible for him to adapt to hiding. In the end, he was tired and dizzy, so he fell.

Soon, Zeng Qing realized that something was wrong. The badge he had been protecting was gone!!

“Where’s the badge? Where’s my badge!!” Zeng Qing felt like he was going crazy. The badge he had tried his best to protect was gone.

He began to search around the area. It was easier said than done to find a small thing in the weeds.

In the end, Zeng Qing was so tired that he collapsed to the ground.

No, all of this was wrong!

He looked down at his bandaged hands and fell into deep thought.

Someone had moved him up from the ditch, applied medicine on his forehead, and even helped him restore his dislocated hand. This meant that this person had a certain level of knowledge. So, while saving him, that person had also taken his badge away?

“Damn it!” Zeng Qing kicked the grass at the side.

At this moment, Zeng Qing’s men came. They saw that the once high-spirited Zeng Qing was in dire straits now. His clothes were stained with blood, and even his head was covered in straw.

Zeng Qing was already filled with anger. When he saw their gazes, he retorted, “What are you looking at? Have you never seen someone as handsome and carefree as me?”

“We deserve to die. We’ve let Master suffer.’

Zeng Qing snorted. “If you know you deserve to die, then die. You’re useless. You’re as stupid as pigs. You clearly know that it’s someone else’s plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain, but you still chased after it desperately. Do you think I’ve lived too long? Do you want to take this opportunity to send me to the heavens?”

“I’m telling you, if I die, you won’t live either!”

The people who were scolded looked at each other and lowered their heads.

Zeng Qing was furious. These people were all good-for-nothings. They knew how to eat, but they didn’t know how to work. At the critical moment, they even dropped the ball.

Zeng Qing took a deep breath and thought for a moment before saying, “Go to the nearby villages and look for anyone who has saved me. Tell them that I’m looking for my savior and will reward them handsomely.”

Before he fell, he took out the token to take a look, so it must have been taken by the person who saved him.

The most important thing now was to get the item back. He would settle the score with them later.

“Yes.” Those people retreated.

“Master, I’m late!” At this moment, a man about Zeng Qing’s age ran over. This person was Zeng Qing’s butler and had been serving him since he was young.

Zeng Qing’s expression improved a little after he saw him. “It’s none of your business. I was careless this time. I didn’t expect the Ling family to be so ruthless.”

The butler said, “Did they take the badge?” Zeng Qing looked into the distance. “No, it should be someone else.”

The butler heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good!”

He supported Zeng Qing and said, “Master, I brought some people over. I don’t think they will attack now. Go to the carriage and rest!”

Zeng Qing did not reply. Instead, he looked at the tree in the distance.

This time, he was also entrusted by someone. If not for the fact that he owed that person a favor, he would not have gotten involved in this mess even if he was beaten to death.

He was already so old. If he died because of this matter later, it would not be worth it. He had been busy for the first half of his life and had not enjoyed any happiness. Now that he finally had some free time, he did not want to die so quickly. He had not had enough fun.

However, that was not important now. What was important was where did his precious badge go? Since the badge was gone, he might as well kill him!!

Su Li did not know that the broken bronze plate she had casually taken away was actually such an important thing. She was rummaging through the house and finally found a firm and unbreakable rope to string the bronze plate together.

“Riceball, come here.” Su Li called Riceball over.

When Riceball saw the thing in Su Li’s hand, he immediately ran over.

He Qingmu came over to take a look and realized that the bronze plate looked dull, but the patterns on it were really beautiful.

He Qingmu asked, “Mother, where did this bronze plate come from?”

This bronze plate looked pretty good. He wanted it too.

How could Su Li not tell what he was thinking? She said, “I picked this up on the road. There’s only one piece. If you like it, I’ll buy it for you the next time I go on the streets.”

Riceball also raised its head and looked at He Qingmu pitifully, hoping that He Qingmu would not come and snatch its things. It was the one who took a fancy to the bronze plate first.

Although He Qingmu was a little disappointed, he did not go so far as to snatch Riceball’s things. He squatted down and patted Riceball’s head.

“Don’t worry, Second Brother won’t snatch your things, but can you let me take a look?”

Riceball raised its head obediently, as if it was waiting for him to look at it.

“Qingyao, Qingmu.” He Mingshan’s voice came from outside the courtyard.

He Qingmu heard He Mingshan’s voice and said excitedly, “Brother Mingshan is here!”

As soon as his friend arrived, He Qingmu stopped looking at the bronze plate and excitedly pulled He Mingshan to play marbles.

Su Li was the one who made this marble for them so that they would not be too bored. It was not a good thing to always study. They had to balance work and rest.

As Su Li and Chen Xiang’s relationship had improved, even the children’s relationship had improved. The three children often played together..
