Chapter 19

It Was Not a Strange Thing

The bright moonlight shone on the three children through the window, allowing Gu Qingxue to clearly see their sleeping faces.

The three children’s sleeping faces were exactly the same, so cute that Gu Qingxue wanted to pinch their faces.

Gu Qingxue tried her best to resist the urge in her heart, but there was still a doubt in her mind.

Since she had a nightmare just now, why did she have a strange feeling that it was something that had happened in real life?

Gu Qingxue was really puzzled by this question. In the end, she fell asleep again with doubt.

The night was getting darker.

A group of people passed by Dafu Village quietly.

The leader of the group, a man in a white robe, was particularly eye-catching under the moonlight.

Liu Yi followed by Rong Zhan’s side and said to Rong Zhan, “Your Highness, should we find a place to rest for the night in this village?”

“There’s no need. This place is not far from Qingyuan Town,” Rong Zhan said indifferently.

Liuyi immediately understood Rong Zhan’s meaning. He nodded and said to the shadow guards behind him, “Let’s go to the town to settle down.”

Rong Zhan’s gaze fell to the side.

At this moment, they happened to pass by a very dilapidated courtyard.

From Rong Zhan’s angle, he could coincidentally see the scenery in the courtyard.

He saw a huge pig’s head hanging in front of the wooden house. The moonlight shone on the pig’s head, making the expression of the pig’s head appear even more unsatisfied.

Rong Zhan narrowed his eyes and stopped his horse.

“Master, what’s wrong?” Liu Yi asked Rong Zhan carefully.

Rong Zhan raised his hand lazily and pointed at the pig’s head.

“Master, are you hungry?” Liu Yi made a bold guess.

Rong Zhan looked at him coldly. “Do you think that pig’s head looks like a wild boar or a domestic boar?”

“Wild boar,” Liu Yi answered decisively. He then said, “This Dafu Village is backed by Dafu Mountain. There are more hunters in the village, so it’s not strange to have wild boars.”

Rong Zhan heard him and looked forward. He said faintly, “Let’s go.”

The group of people walked out of the village under the night sky.

The next day, a ray of light had just appeared in the sky.

Gu Lin opened his eyes. When he turned around and saw Gu Qingxue’s face, he could not help but be stunned.

“Mother?” He subconsciously called out.

Gu Qingxue heard the movement. Her eyelashes, which were as thick as butterfly wings, fluttered slightly before she opened her eyes.

“Good morning, Lil’ Lin.” Gu Qingxue revealed a brilliant smile to Gu Lin.

Gu Lin’s eyes were dazzled by her smile. His little face reddened subconsciously and he asked in a low voice, “You… Why are you sleeping here?”

Moreover, they were so close to each other.

Ever since Gu Lin became sensible, he had been the one who had brought his younger siblings to sleep alone in this room. His mother had never accompanied them.

“It’s too cold for me to sleep alone,” Gu Qingxue said truthfully as she got up. “I’ll go prepare breakfast. Wake up your younger siblings and go wash up.”

Gu Lin nodded.

Dumby and Lingbao were still sleeping. There was saliva hanging at the corner of their mouths.

Gu Lin saw that the two of them were sleeping so soundly. He really did not have the heart to wake them up.

However, when he thought of their anticipation of going to town, he still shook Dumby and Lingbao forcefully.

“Hurry up and get up. We’re going to miss the ox-cart to town!”

As soon as these words came out, Dumby and Lingbao seemed to have been electrocuted. The two of them opened their eyes very tacitly and sat up abruptly.
