The Whole Village Thrives After Adopting a Lucky Girl

Chapter 526: Past Life Extra Story Five_2
 

From then on, Chunniang and the grandmother lived in the county town with Yingbao.

Jiang Sanlang stayed in the county for a few days before returning to the village, saying he would come back when his wife was about to give birth.

Now that he had spent all his money and borrowed quite a bit from his parents, he had to return to collect herbs to earn money to repay his parents, and also to prepare for his wife’s childbirth.

A few days later, Yingbao had become familiar with the other children in the courtyard and even let them touch the head of the Flying Rat.

Although the Flying Rat was not really pleased, under the tyranny of its little master, it had to bear with the children touching its large tail.

The children in the courtyard would often take Yingbao outside to play and show off their Flying Rat to others.

A few children tried to steal the Flying Rat out of ill will, they soon found themselves with their hair set on fire by Yingbao’s flames, wetting their pants in fright right away.

From then on, everyone living in this alley knew about this extraordinary child from the Locust Tree Courtyard with a divine fate.

Several months passed, and during the beast tide, Chunniang gave birth. As she delivered twins, Jiang Sanlang spent all the money he had earned recently to hire a medicinal cultivator to save the lives of the mother and the babies.

However, Chunniang had lost a great deal of vitality and needed Spiritual Medicine to recuperate. This caused a lot of stress for Jiang Sanlang.

Just when he did not know what to do, his little daughter brought out a bunch of mid-level Spiritual Medicine and gave it to him, “Daddy, give this to Mama.”

Jiang Sanlang was stunned and, seeing no one around, quickly collected the Spiritual Medicine. He asked, “Baobao, where did you get so much Spiritual Medicine?”

“I grew them,” Yingbao replied proudly, “There’s a lot more in the Divine Mansion.”

On hearing this, Jiang Sanlang’s face changed. He immediately gestured to his daughter to stop talking. He ran out the door to check and saw no outsiders around before he felt relieved.

At this time, Grandma Jiang Liu and other family members were not around. They had gone to deliver red eggs to a neighbor’s house and were chatting with others. The older brothers were also not around as they had taken their nephews and nieces to watch the cultivators casting spells.

Jiang Sanlang let his daughter put away the Spiritual Medicine and said, “Baobao, you must never tell anyone about you having Spiritual Medicine, even if it’s your grandparents.”

It was not that he did not trust his parents, but because he feared idle chatter.

Yingbao didn’t understand, but she nodded anyway.

Overtime, Jiang Sanlang occasionally sold a mid-level Spiritual Medicine at the Treasure Pavilion, which he would use to buy elixirs for his wife’s recuperation also gradually bought some auxiliary cultivation elixirs for his daughter.

Slowly but surely, Chunniang’s health improved and the two boys grew plumper.

When the babies had their one-month-old celebration, it started to snow outside, and the beast tide gradually faded.

As the city gate opened, many people rushed outside. Some wanted to return home, while others wanted to follow the cultivators and pick up some leftover spoils.

Jiang Dalang and Jiang Erlang also left the city, but they left their wives and children behind.

The reason was that they had also bought a residence for Huzi and Yuanbao, and rented a small courtyard. The entire family lived in the three thatched rooms in the courtyard. Their plan was to start sending them to school when the institutions opened in the spring.

Jiang Dalang and Jiang Erlang’s rented courtyard was not far from Jiang Sanlang’s, so the Jiang children often came to take Yingbao out to play.

One day, while the children were playing with stones at the door, a few children around teenage years approached. They were dressed in fine clothes, looking like the children of wealthy families.

“I want that little thing,” the leading boy pointed to the Flying Rat on Yingbao’s head.

They immediately moved forward to grab the Flying Rat.

Eini and Yuanbao instantly stood in front of their little cousin, saying indignantly, “This is ours.”

“Yours?” The leading boy sneered. Suddenly, he raised his hand to hit them, a cold wind accompanying his palm.

Was he actually using a spell to hit people?

Yingbao was angry. She quickly stood up and waved away his attack. She threw a punch at him. With flames surrounding her fist, she sent him flying several meters away.

The other boys cried out in surprise and immediately ran over. The leading boy was breathing shallowly and slowly.

“Young Master! Young Master!” They were almost crying as they quickly scooped up the young master and ran back the way they had come.

Eini, sensing trouble, immediately grabbed her little cousin and ran away.

Back home, they told Chunniang everything that had happened. Chunniang was so worried she didn’t know what to do and started thinking about where to hide Yingbao.

Assaulting someone in the county town could lead to a prison sentence, and if someone was killed, it was unthinkable.

Yingbao didn’t understand what was happening and continued to talk to her little brothers, blissfully unaware of the danger looming.

Chunniang asked Eini and the others to go home quickly and not leave for a while. She then held her daughter’s hand and said, “Didn’t I tell you not to kill or injure people at will? Why don’t you listen?”
