Chapter 1176: Chapter 1172: Little Black’s Unusual Reaction (Double Update)

Xing Beichen, who was beside them, was completely stunned by Lu Xiao’s shout. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

He absolutely couldn’t imagine that the person before him was actually Lu Yuanfeng’s father.

He looked at Lu Xiao with a scruffy beard and dirty appearance, and thought he must be hallucinating.

Lu Yuanfeng’s fist didn’t hit Lu Xiao but instead landed on the trunk next to Lu Xiao’s head.

Yet just that motion made Lu Xiao so scared he wet his pants.

Xing Beichen couldn’t believe that such a cowardly, weak person could be Lu Yuanfeng’s father.

"Help! My son is murdering his father!" Lu Xiao shouted at the top of his lungs.

His manner was exactly like a bum.

Xing Beichen was very angry; ultimately, he was more worried about Lu Xiao affecting Lu Yuanfeng’s reputation.

So he threatened, "Yell again, and I won’t be so polite!"

Lu Xiao yelled even louder.

Xing Beichen was enraged, picked up a rag someone had thrown on the ground.

And directly stuffed it into Lu Xiao’s mouth.

Lu Xiao’s mouth was filled with dust, and he immediately could only produce a muffled sound.

He looked at Xing Beichen angrily, as if he wished he could eat him alive.

Just then, Lu Yuanfeng squatted down and picked up the jewelry box on the ground.

Then he did something that made Lu Xiao’s blood boil.

"Beichen, keep an eye on him for me, I’m going to see Shuangshuang!"

The jewelry box, along with the things inside, was originally prepared for Shuangshuang.

Lu Yuanfeng had already planned that once he went to the Northwest, he would give the things to Shuangshuang.

Now that Lu Xiao had his sights on it, he could only deliver them early.

"Mmph..." You crazy kid, you’re nuts, you actually dare give those things to that brat!

"Mmph..." You crazy kid, come back here!

Lu Xiao kept making muffled sounds!

But Lu Yuanfeng walked away right in front of him.

After Lu Yuanfeng left, Xing Beichen pulled the cloth from Lu Xiao’s mouth.

Just then, dust entered Lu Xiao’s mouth, making him cough violently, almost coughing up his lung.

Xing Beichen certainly didn’t pity him; on the contrary, he pressed Lu Xiao for answers.

"You old git, quickly tell me, what did you do to betray Fengzi, or else I’ll let you feed the mosquitoes here all night!"

On summer nights, the mosquitoes outside rural homes are as numerous as cow hairs.

Within such a short time, Lu Xiao was bitten all over.

Xing Beichen had the mosquito-repellent sachet made by Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng, so the mosquitoes didn’t bother him.

"Want me to talk? Only if you give me money!"

Lu Xiao was shameless too, seeing Xing Beichen’s attire, he suspected Xing Beichen had some cash.

If he could extort some, he might even save his own skin!

"Ha, you wish, with people like you, I don’t know how many I kill in a day in the Capital!"

The mention of the Capital made Lu Xiao’s eyes light up.

Because of this, Lu Xiao became even more unwilling to speak.

While they were at a standoff, Lu Yuanfeng arrived outside the gate of the third branch holding the jewelry box.

At this moment, Lu Yuanfeng’s mind cleared up a bit.

Since he had just sent Shuangshuang back, if he rushed in again, he wasn’t sure if Uncle Dashan and Aunt Si would take offense.

"Fengzi..."

Mu Shuangshuang just came out of the house and instantly spotted a dark shadow outside the yard.

Judging by the figure, it looked like Fengzi.

Without thinking, she called out directly.

"It’s me, Shuangshuang!" Lu Yuanfeng replied.

Mu Shuangshuang quickly walked forward, opened the yard door, and pulled Lu Yuanfeng into her house.

Once inside, under the oil lamp’s light, she finally saw clearly the jewelry box Lu Yuanfeng was holding.

"Fengzi, this is...?" Mu Shuangshuang looked at Lu Yuanfeng, her face full of confusion.

"Shuangshuang, this is what I planned to give you earlier, now that I’m going to the Northwest, keeping it at home isn’t safe, I hope that when I come back from the barracks, the jewelry box will be filled!"

This time, Lu Yuanfeng was aiming for a promotion and rank.

Seeking a place in the army, he had goals, so when he returned, he certainly wouldn’t be empty-handed!

Mu Shuangshuang glanced at Lu Yuanfeng, the person before her had a chiseled face.

He was full of righteousness, every word he said made Mu Shuangshuang’s heart happy.

Mu Shuangshuang reached out her hand and took the jewelry box.

After a while, she lowered her voice and softly said, "When you come back, we’ll... get married!"

Lu Yuanfeng’s trip this time would probably take a year or so, by then, she’d be grown up.

Getting married, the harm to her body would naturally be gone.

In ancient times, women married at fourteen or fifteen.

Some women even fulfilled their marriage before their period came.

The harm to the body was immense.

Mu Shuangshuang, a modern person, couldn’t accept it.

Lu Yuanfeng’s face immediately turned red, he suddenly stretched out his hand, holding Mu Shuangshuang’s hand, feeling like he owned the world suddenly hit his heart.

The two were close together, able to hear each other’s breathing.

Mu Shuangshuang had just taken a bath, the scent of soap lingered on her body.

Lu Yuanfeng couldn’t help but take a few more sniffs, instantly feeling much more refreshed.

At this moment, Little Black inside the room suddenly started making sounds, hissing at Little Black.

Mu Shuangshuang’s eyes immediately widened, Lu Yuanfeng’s too.

The two almost simultaneously pushed away, then simultaneously looked down at Little Black.

Only to see it again lift its paw and point outside the door, asking Little Black to leave.

Little Black naturally didn’t want to, retreating repeatedly.

But now, Little Black seemed to be stimulated by something, jumping continuously.

Its attitude was very bad.

Mu Shuangshuang took a few breaths and scolded Little Black, "Little Black, what are you doing? We already agreed to send away your relatives tomorrow morning!"

Little Black ignored Mu Shuangshuang and continued pawing the ground.

Moreover, it started making sounds more frequently.

Even starting to spring up and down, looking scary as can be.

Mu Shuangshuang suddenly thought of an article she’d read in her past life, saying that animals were more sensitive to earthquakes than humans.

And usually before an earthquake, rats moved houses.

Pets behaved unusually excitedly.

"Fengzi, quickly, grab the little things in Little Black’s family, let’s hurry into the yard."

After saying this, Mu Shuangshuang quickly rushed to her parents’ door, desperately knocking, "Dad, Mom, come out quickly, call Little Zhi and them, hurry..."

Everyone was baffled by Mu Shuangshuang’s actions.

Once Lu Yuanfeng left the house, Mu Shuangshuang shouted at him, "Fengzi, don’t let Yuanbao sleep in the house tonight, take everyone outside, seems like an earthquake is coming!"

Lu Yuanfeng didn’t understand what an earthquake was, but he listened to what Shuangshuang said and quickly ran towards his own house...
