Chapter 56: Never Thought of Helping You
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Yunshu turned around in confusion and saw a young man standing behind them with a gloomy expression. His eyes were cold, as if they had disturbed his rest.
However, this person… seemed to have been seen somewhere before.
He poked his head hard, but before he could figure it out, the children suddenly screamed, “Wolf cub, run.”
As soon as he said this, everyone dispersed.
Gu Yunshu was still standing on the spot, not understanding what the wolf cub meant. Niu Dan beside him was a little afraid, but Gu Yunshu was brought out by him. He could not leave him alone, so he was very strong and did not move his legs.
However, he secretly tugged at his hand and whispered, “Let’s leave quickly too.”
“Why?” Gu Yunshu was puzzled. “Isn’t it good that they were scared away? Then they won’t snatch my things.”
“B-but…” I’m also scared.
Niu Dan quietly raised his head to look at Shao Qingyuan’s face. When he met his eyes, his body could not help but tremble.
Gu Yunshu had already remembered who he was. He immediately walked quickly to Shao Qingyuan. “It’s you. Why are you here? Are you also from this village? What a coincidence. I’ll also be a villager in the future. This is the homestead we just confirmed. Eldest Sister said that we can build a house soon. This will be my home in the future. Where is your home?”
“…” Was it too late for him to pretend not to know him and run with the children just now?
Shao Qingyuan looked at the little kid in front of him. “What’s your name?”
Niu Dan stood rooted to the ground and did not dare to move. However, he was shouting crazily in his heart, “Don’t answer, don’t answer. If you answer, it means that you’re targeted by him. You’re finished. I’m telling you that you’re finished.”
“My name is Gu Yunshu,” Gu Yunshu said very seriously. “Thank you for helping us scare away those child bandits just now.”
Shao Qingyuan sneered. “1 never thought of helping you.” It was just a coincidence.
“Although you might not have thought about it, it was indeed because of you that they ran away and didn’t find trouble with me. 1 was the one who benefited. My eldest sister said that this is considered… Well, indirect help.”
“Indirect help?” Shao Qingyuan was deep in thought. Last time in the prefecture capital, the two constables had also seen the girl, so they did not cause trouble for him. It was especially similar to the current situation.
Shao Qingyuan did not say anything else and turned to leave.
Gu Yunshu still wanted to follow him and chat with him. He had just taken a step when he was pulled back by Niu Dan. He called out to him softly and firmly, “Come back.”
Gu Yunshu was only a little slower, but Shao Qingyuan had already turned the intersection in large strides and disappeared.
Gu Yunshu was very regretful. “Why are you holding me back? I haven’t finished speaking.”
Speaking of this, Gu Yunshu was a little excited. “You don’t know. Last time, I saw him kick out . He directly knocked over a constable.”
“Hiss…” Niu Dan sucked in a cold breath. “He, he actually dared to hit the constable? As expected, a wolf cub is indeed a wolf cub.”
“A wolf cub? Why do you all call him a wolf cub? And you all look very afraid of him. Isn’t he quite handsome?”
Could it be that these people had a problem with their aesthetic taste as Eldest Sister had said? Then what should he do? He thought that he was quite handsome.. Would the people here think that he was ugly?
