But it is said that even near the shallow mountains, wild beasts occasionally come down.
Years ago, someone was collecting firewood with their child here, but in the blink of an eye, the child was snatched away by a wolf.
When they found him, all that was left was a small shoe and a bitten-off little hand.
“Big sister, I also heard that inside Xiaocang Mountain, there are actually a lot of treasures.” Sanni chatted with Yang Ruxin as they walked, “It was the betrothal gifts from that Divine Dragon to his bride; but the two of them were torn apart by evildoers before their wedding.
As a result, the woman’s spirit couldn’t rest, and she has been guarding those betrothal gifts, keeping the Divine Dragon company ever since…”
Yang Ruxin chuckled, “Who told you that?
What a story they’ve concocted, with all the bells and whistles.”
“A lot of people in the village are saying it.” Sanni’s eyes shone brightly, “They say that the betrothal gifts came from heaven and are incredibly valuable.
It is said that the gold is in big lumps, and there are countless gems, even the Luminous Pearls used by the Queen Mother of West…” As she spoke, her hand gestured, “One is this big…”
Yang Ruxin was even more amused; lumps of gold sounded like dog poop, and something as big as Sanni was gesturing could only be a pot cover.
However, she didn’t argue any further, because such superstitious tales were actually quite interesting to listen to.
“It would be great if we could go in and get some of those treasures out…” Sanni suddenly sighed, “Then, we would be able to eat whatever we want…”
“Sanni,” Yang Ruxin glanced at the little girl, “remember that high returns are always accompanied by high risks.
Those legends and treasures, consider them nothing more than stories; don’t take them seriously…”
“I know.” Sanni rolled her eyes at Yang Ruxin.
“I’m not a fool, I was just saying.”
“Don’t worry, I will definitely make it so that you can eat whatever you want someday…”
“Big sister, let me be honest with you,” Sanni stopped walking, “you are really nice like this.
Before, you weren’t close to us at all…”
Yang Ruxin nodded, “I know, I’ll be closer to you all from now on.”
Sanni immediately burst into giggles.
The two of them laughed and talked until they left the village, spotting their fellow villagers, Li Xiang and Liang Xiaoyu, also heading toward the foothill in companionship, probably to gather firewood as well.
“Sister, you go ahead to town,” Sanni pushed Yang Ruxin along, “I’ll go to the foothill with them.”
Yang Ruxin nodded but nonetheless reminded Sanni to be careful, before heading to town.
Yang Dani had been to Lianhua Town before, of course, previously, it was to secretly meet Guan Qingshu, so Yang Ruxin also knew her way around quite well.
The distance from Dapu East Village to Lianhua Town was only seven or eight li, not too far.
Even though the road was uneven, she made it in just over half an hour.
Lianhua Town could be considered the largest town in the area, bustling every day.
However, Yang Ruxin had no time to wander the streets.
In just one day’s time, to find out information about a Zhao family in the west side of town was quite difficult; with so many households, she surely couldn’t knock on every door, could she?
Yet, perhaps heaven took pity on her.
She had just strolled into town when, from a distance, she spotted a familiar face, no other than Guo Bigmouth, who had previously visited Yang Family for matchmaking purposes.
Yang Ruxin’s eyes lit up, and she immediately followed her.
Whether or not Bigmouth was heading to Zhao Family’s, following her might just lead to some discoveries.
