412 Little Wooden House
“Where is he?” Liang Xue followed Little Ah Yu around outside but did not see that person.
Wang Wulang said from the side, “He might have gone to look for someone else. That person’s illness looks contagious. I have to inform the others. Little Sister Ah Yu, don’t wander around Doctor Hu’s house first. I’ll be over in a while.”
With that, Wang Wulang turned around and ran.
He did not forget to call out to the little lamb walking leisurely beside her, “Go and protect Little Sister Ah Yu!”
The lamb rolled its eyes at him.
Little Ah Yu was not in a hurry. She looked up and asked, “Uncle Tu, where did that person go?”
Chi Tu did not say anything, but a stone appeared on the ground to Little Ah Yu’s left.
It indicated that it was on another path.
Little Ah Yu lifted her dress and wanted to follow the path.
Liang Xue pulled her back. “Forget it, don’t go. The village is busy with the cane sugar workshop now. The adults aren’t here. It’ll be too late if something happens.”
She had her own thoughts, but the premise was that she would not harm others.
Little Ah Yu was the treasure of the village. If anything happened, she would not be able to compensate even if she died.
Moreover, she did not want anything to happen to Little Ah Yu.
“Big Sister Liang Xue, you’re right.” Little Ah Yu stopped walking.
Liang Xue heaved a sigh of relief.
Little Ah Yu lowered her head and thought seriously.
Then, she held Liang Xue’s hand and returned to Doctor Hu’s house, letting her sit down on a small stool.
She patted the back of her hand and said earnestly, “Big Sister Liang Xue, wait here. I’ll be back in a while.”
Liang Xue: “?”
“Grandma said that a girl who’s already of marriageable age but hasn’t been engaged is very precious. You have to be careful. I run fast and haven’t reached marriageable age yet. I’ll go.”
Liang Xue: “…” Why did these words sound so wrong?
“I’ll follow the lamb to look for him. I’ll be back in a while.”
She did not sense any danger. The elf had also said that that person did not have any ill intentions. Of course, Little Ah Yu was not afraid.
However, if Big Sister Liang Xue was afraid, she could not bring her along.
She could not force others to do something they were unwilling to do. This was a principle her mother had taught her.
Seeing that Little Ah Yu was about to leave on her own, Liang Xue followed helplessly.
“Wait, let’s go together.”
When she reached the door, she picked up a large pestle.
Little Ah Yu was curious. “Big Sister Liang Xue, aren’t you afraid?”
Liang Xue: “…If I say I’m afraid, you won’t go?”
Little Ah Yu glanced at the stool.
“Let’s go.” Liang Xue was caught between laughter and tears.
The two of them walked along the path and before long, they discovered a person who had fainted by the canal.
It was the person who had covered his face previously.
Liang Xue hurriedly went forward to check. She reached out and hurriedly retracted her hand.
When Little Ah Yu saw her expression, her mouth twitched. “Big Sister Liang Xue, is he dead?”
Boohoo, she was too late.
After being sad for a moment, Little Ah Yu turned around and left.
“Where are you going?” Liang Xue could not be bothered to chase after her and could only call out to Little Ah Yu.
“I’ll ask Grandpa Carpenter if there are any more little wooden houses at home to store this poor uncle,” Little Ah Yu said as she wiped her tears.
Liang Xue: “…Little wooden house? Don’t tell me you’re talking about a coffin?”
Unexpectedly, as soon as Liang Xue finished speaking, the originally unconscious person suddenly stretched out a trembling hand.
“A-Actually, I can still be saved—”
Liang Xue was shocked and fell to the ground. She stretched out her legs and kicked the person.
With a plop.
He rolled straight into the canal.
Little Ah Yu opened her mouth and said hesitantly, “Now, do we still need the little wooden house?”
She felt that they needed it even more now.
Liang Xue: “…”
Unexpectedly, her first step as a benevolent doctor failed before she could show her charm.
