Xiaobao nodded blankly, “I bet so.”
When Dabao regained his senses, he said, “Koi fish is so valuable! I bet if anyone found out about it, they would certainly come to rob us!”
Qi Qingyao set down the bucket that she was carrying. Her brows furrowed, she lifted the ax which hung by her waist.
She looked incredibly nervous. While she stood in front of the three children, she said, “Just wait for a moment, Mommy will go over and have a look.”
The three children were so terrified they laid down within the bushes, neither daring to move.
Qi Qingyao calmly held the ax as she walked forward and was greeted by a pair of black boots. Her heart tightened and she followed closely. She found that the other person was lying down.
Qi Qingyao was immediately greatly relieved.
As she rounded the pile of rocks and saw what the “object” was, her face relaxed completely.
A man…
A dead person?
She subconsciously used her hand to feel for the man’s breath. It seemed that he was still breathing. Qi Qingyao frowned.
She then took the time to assess the person’s attire and appearance.
If people in the village wore common coarse linen, then this man was wearing fine silk satin! Just the material of his clothes was enough of a shock. His clothes were made of high-quality silk and satin that had dark patterns embroidered on them. Although his clothes have been badly dirtied, the fine texture of his clothes was still quite pristine. He wore a pair of sheepskin soft leather boots on his feet. Just a glance of his appearance was telling enough that he was a big shot.
He was not like them. Much like mustard beans, they were just tiny people…
Such contrast, such a gap!
The three children who stood behind the bucket quietly peered over at her side at quite a distance away. They waited for a while. Seeing that Qi Qingyao did not respond, they raised questions anxiously.
“Mommy, is it a bad guy?”
“It’s a dead person,” replied Qi Qingyao.
“Ah!!” Dabao was stunned for a moment.
Qi Qingyao added, “My statement was too general. This person is not dead, but he will be soon.”
The three children looked at each other and then walked over cautiously. Peering from behind Qi Qingyao’s back, a look of wanting to take a glance but not daring to, and after a moment’s dawdle, only then did Dabao nervously grab Qi Qingyao’s calf and quietly look over.
After a while of assessing the bloodstains and wounds on the “corpse”, Dabao muttered to himself, “This uncle is so badly injured.”
Erniu was slightly frightened. She tugged on the corners of Qi Qingyao’s clothes and said quietly, “Mommy, let’s go. Let’s hurry home.”
Qi Qingyao was silent for a moment. “Bring him home with us.”
“Ah!” The three children were so shocked their jaws almost hit the ground.
“Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda!” Qi Qingyao said, extraordinarily high-sounding!
Xiaobao pressed his lips together and asked puzzledly, “Mommy, we already don’t have enough to eat. Do we really want to save this man?”
Qi Qingyao chuckled as she said, “Earlier when we caught a koi fish, we also caught so many fishes. Now we turn around and come across a big fish, of course, we’re saving it!”
Dabao echoed, “Big fish?”
Erniu tilted her head and asked blankly, “Is he a fish?”
“Perhaps he is fish essence!” Xiaobao exclaimed after pondering.
The little children’s pure innocence and wild imagination caused Qi Qingyao to laugh.
Qi Qingyao had never been all that devout, so she never showed any kindness and thought of saving people.
Looking at the person’s attire and appearance, his family should be quite well-off.
After saving the man, she could blackmail him for some property. No, it cannot be described as ‘blackmail’. It would just be some “treatment fees”, which was certainly reasonable.
Maybe this could be her chance to hit the jackpot!
Finally, there was yet another important reason. This person’s appearance was…way too excellent!
Even just by lying there, she could tell that he had an excellent complexion.
Qi Qingyao could not bear to just leave such a beauty behind!
