Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 30

Intruder
Hearing what Duan Yixin said, Chi Xiyou was happy for her. He ruffled her hair and said with a sigh, “I’m glad you can make a living. Grandpa Duan must be relieved now.”

After speaking, he looked at the position of the sun and said, “It’s getting late. Let’s hurry before Uncle Sun leaves.”

After buying all the necessary things, the three of them walked towards the entrance of Chunshan Town. When they arrived, there were only a few villagers.

Sun Dagou saw them coming and asked, “Do you three want to ride in the bullock cart?”

Chi Xiyou nodded and asked, “Uncle Sun, is there still room for us?”

Sun Dagou pointed to the bullock cart with several middle-aged women sitting on it and said, “Yes, there are only a few people riding back to Yunshan Village. You three are the last ones. Since no one is coming, we can leave early.”

After hearing what he said, Chi Xiyou looked at his younger sister and Duan Yixin and said, “Let’s go back by bullock cart.”

After he finished speaking, he helped Duan Yixin and Chi Xinru get on the bullock cart and then sat beside Sun Dagou in the front. With a flick of the whip in Sun Dagou’s hand, the bullock cart’s wheels started rolling on the uneven road.

When they arrived at the entrance of Yunshan Village, it was already three o’clock in the afternoon. Chi Xiyou helped his younger sister, and Duan Yixin got off the bullock cart and then gave Sun Dagou three copper coins.

“Thank you, Uncle Sun.” Chi Xiyou said with a smile.

Sun Dagou accepted the money and said, “Chi Dalang, if you still need to ride in my bullock cart, tell me in advance, and I will save a seat for you.”

After saying that, he rode the bullock cart and left. Duan Yixin took out two copper coins and said, “Young Master Chi, this is the fee for the bullock cart.”

“Keep your money. I made a lot of money selling pheasants and rabbits today.” Chi Xiyou said as he pushed the money back to her.

Chi Xinru stood next to her elder brother, nodded, and said, “Xin Xin, just keep your money. Your home still needs repairs.”

Since both siblings said so, Duan Yixin could only take back the money and thanked them sincerely, “Thank you.”

Several villagers sighed when they saw this.

One of them said, “It’s a pity that Tang Erlang chose the girl from the Liang family instead of Xin Niang. I really don’t know what he thought when he abandoned a gentle girl for that vixen.”

Another villager heard this and said, “This is not our problem. Stop talking about it. Otherwise, it will cause trouble for your family. Anyway, this is the village chief’s family matter. It has nothing to do with us.”

At her reminder, the villagers looked at each other, then stopped chatting and returned to their homes.

After the villagers left, Chi Xiyou looked at Duan Yixin worriedly and said, “Xin Xin, don’t be sad. Such a man is not worth it. I believe you will find a man who loves you more and treats you sincerely in the future.”

Hearing this, Duan Yixin smiled and said, “I have no plans to get married. With my current living conditions, I doubt I can find a good man. Besides, the problems caused by the Duan family are not over yet. With Duan Sida still nowhere to be seen, I didn’t dare to relax at all.”

As soon as she said this, Chi Xinru gritted her teeth and said with hatred, “If I catch that Duan Sida, I will beat him to a pulp! Scolding him as a beast is disrespectful to the beast!”

Seeing her fierce expression and words, Chi Xiyou could only sigh. He looked up at the bright sky and thought, ‘If Ru’er can get married in the future, that man must be very brave and mentally strong.’

Chi Xinru didn’t know that her elder brother was already worried that she couldn’t get married in the future. She touched her belly and said, “I’m so hungry. Let’s go home quickly.”

After saying that, the three of them walked towards Duan Yixin’s home at the foot of Yunshan Mountain. After the siblings sent Duan Yixin back, they went home.

In the front yard, after washing her hands and feet, Duan Yixin came to the kitchen carrying things that she had bought in the market. She poured some coarse grain into a small jar and put the rest into the liquid chip’s warehouse.

She made a bowl of thick porridge with coarse grains and then stir-fried the wild vegetables and mushrooms she had picked from the forest before. After she added a pinch of salt, the vegetables and mushrooms tasted better.

While eating a simple meal, Duan Yixin’s mind was busy inside the warehouse. Whenever she has free time, she will use the time to open boxes in the warehouse and arrange the items neatly. It’s also easier for her to get supplies in case of an emergency.

After finishing the meal and washing the dishes, Duan Yixin picked up the bamboo basket and walked into the forest. There were still a few hours until sunset, and it was enough for her to take a trip to the forest and be back before sunset.

After she left home, someone snuck in. When that person reached the kitchen and found only a few coarse grains left in the jar, he cursed under his breath. In order to avoid being chased by the Yamen guards, Duan Sida ran for a long time in the middle of the night and was exhausted from hunger and thirst.

He sniffed the air and smelled a delicious fragrance. But after searching for a long time, he found nothing.

In desperation, Duan Sida drank the water from the water jar, grabbed the small bamboo tube filled with a little bit of salt, and sneaked out of the house. As long as he eats a little bit of salt every day, he will have enough energy to escape.

As for returning to his home, he would not even think about it. Many people were guarding his house, and he couldn’t even get close, not to mention get food and supplies. If he goes back now, it’s the same as sending himself on the chopping block for those Yamen Guards. He is not so stupid to do that.
