From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!-Chapter 913 - 909: Farewell Ceremony (Part 2)

Mu Shuangshuang’s way of dealing with Little Black has always been coercion and persuasion, discussing properly first, and if Little Black cooperates, then there’s no problem at all.

If it doesn’t cooperate...

Just like now, Mu Shuangshuang watched the little fluffball shivering in front of her, a wave of wicked satisfaction rose in her heart.

Lu Yuanfeng watched the interaction between the person and sable, showing a helpless smile.

He stepped forward, lifted Little Black by its fur, and then placed it on the ground.

The little guy bolted, like a blob of meat, instantly disappearing in front of the two.

But after a while, Little Black came back, panting heavily.

Lu Yuanfeng and Mu Shuangshuang followed behind Little Black, who led the way, used a hoe to dig open a small mound, and sure enough, there was a black snake inside.

The hibernating snake was clumsier than the snake after spring, and Lu Yuanfeng easily caught the snake and placed it in the bamboo basket Mu Shuangshuang had prepared.

The two went down the mountain.

They didn’t have to wait until the evening; Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng met Hu Sheng.

The man with a tigerish head and brain, holding his strong body, rampaged in the village, even during the New Year, uttering dirty words.

He had a blade of grass in his mouth and would make unusual gestures as people passed by.

If it was a widow from the village, he would go up and grope their buttocks.

If he encountered a woman with a basket, he would certainly lift the person’s basket to see what’s inside.

Mu Shuangshuang had the idea of teasing Hu Sheng, and she deliberately slung the basket on her right side, thinking that when Hu Sheng lifted her basket, he would just happen to touch the snake, and she could take the chance to interrogate Hu Sheng.

Mu Shuangshuang naturally walked towards Hu Sheng, and Hu Sheng, from afar, also spotted Mu Shuangshuang.

The girl, who used to be like a dirty, thin stick, had already become a graceful young woman.

Even though it wasn’t the first time seeing a pretty girl for Hu Sheng, his eyes were glazed over.

His hand was ready, just waiting for Mu Shuangshuang to pass by so he could grope her behind.

As Mu Shuangshuang approached Hu Sheng, just as Hu Sheng was about to make a move, an icy gaze, like poisoned, immediately froze Hu Sheng in place.

His hand stopped far from Mu Shuangshuang’s buttocks.

Then, with a cracking sound, Hu Sheng’s hand was dislocated by Lu Yuanfeng’s twist.

The sudden dull pain made Hu Sheng snap back, and he screamed, cursing Lu Yuanfeng, "You brat, how dare you hit me, you... you little bastard..."

The situation had not turned out as Mu Shuangshuang expected, and plus, Hu Sheng dared to curse Lu Yuanfeng, Mu Shuangshuang lifted her leg and kicked Hu Sheng, sending him flying.

The sturdy man, head to the ground, rolled several times on the muddy field, skinning his scalp before he could stabilize.

And Mu Shuangshuang, the main culprit, held her belly and laughed heartily.

"You filthy b..." Hu Sheng couldn’t finish his curse as Lu Yuanfeng’s glare shot over again, and Mu Shuangshuang lifted her foot...

Hu Sheng chickened out, not caring about the pain in his hand, turned tail, and ran.

Mu Shuangshuang was a bit surprised and exchanged looks with Lu Yuanfeng.

"Although it didn’t go as I imagined, we can follow and see who Hu Sheng is close with; maybe that thief is the person."

Lu Yuanfeng thought it made sense too.

He helped Mu Shuangshuang pat off the dust on her clothes.

The two followed behind Hu Sheng.

The pain in his wrist made Hu Sheng think first to fix it. To get money from Zhang Huai Shu, Hu Sheng was willing to spend on daily pleasures, but to pay for a doctor, he refused.

But the one who injured him was that brat from the Old Lu Family and that brat girl from the third branch.

He decided to seek justice from Mu Danian.

"Fengzi, why’s Hu Sheng heading towards our Old Mu Family’s direction?" Mu Shuangshuang asked.

"Could it be, it’s really someone from our Old Mu Family?" Mu Shuangshuang added.

Halfway there, Hu Sheng remembered his agreement with Mu Danian, during the day when they met, to pretend not to know each other.

Hu Sheng and Mu Danian had stolen from villagers and sold the goods for the New Year, not just once or twice.

They weren’t caught because they never interacted on ordinary days.

Even if they saw each other on the road, they’d pretend not to know each other.

Several times, almost caught, they avoided because they pretended not to know each other.

After realizing, Hu Sheng turned back home.

Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng didn’t gain any insights, inevitably a bit disappointed.

But thinking long-term, as long as Hu Sheng contacts another gang, they’ll find out who it is.

"Fengzi, I know the neighbor kid of Hu Sheng’s family gets along well with Yuanbao; let’s have Yuanbao tell him to keep an eye on Hu Sheng during the day.

As for the night, we’ll stake it out ourselves. I guess, tonight Hu Sheng will go out, maybe it really is our Old Mu Family."

Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng returned to the third branch, intending to go to the Old Wang Family to inquire about that night’s situation but didn’t find the chance.

Because tomorrow is the day Mu Dade goes to the Capital for exams, Mr. Mu personally came to the third branch to discuss the plans for early the next morning with them.

Mu Shuangshuang has always been indifferent to the big house.

Mu Dashan, after experiencing previous events, felt the same.

However, since Mr. Mu personally visited, Mu Dashan showed the minimum respect, even though when Mu Dade had spoken shameless words before, Mr. Mu turned a blind eye. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"Shuang, Grandpa wants you to lead the way for your uncle tomorrow. We’ll have someone lay a red carpet on the road for him, and you walk ahead to bring him good fortune. What do you think?"

It would’ve been better not to say, but hearing this almost made Mu Shuangshuang choke.

Red carpet? Walk in front?

Why, is it like modern people walking the red carpet?

Mu Shuangshuang furrowed her brow and asked Mr. Mu, "Grandpa, what exactly are your plans?"

"It’s nothing much; your aunt arranged it, saying tomorrow needs red for your uncle to prosper.

Coincidentally, the Ruan girl’s connections in town helped borrow lots of red carpet, which can run from the Old Mu Family’s entrance to the village’s entrance.

At the village entrance, your uncle will ride a carriage, and we’ll follow behind. We just need to escort him to town."

At this moment, Mu Shuangshuang felt her intelligence was being hijacked.

Who was the idiot that came up with such a plan to send Mu Dade for exams?

How could they be so sure Mu Dade would pass?

Mu Shuangshuang directly refused, "Grandpa, for leading the way, usually, it’s someone elderly and respectable. Shuang is too insignificant, too young. Please find someone else!"

Expecting her to play the "eunuch" and "palace maid" leading the way? Dream on.

"Shuang, Grandpa thinks you’re the best choice, you’re clever..."

"Grandpa, no need to flatter, I said I’m not going, and that’s final!"
