Reborn as a beautiful little lucky star

"Snapped."

Mu Yufu was displeased by what she heard and swung the whip. The tip of the whip just brushed past Liu An's ear, scaring him so much that his legs trembled and he almost fell to the ground.

The old lady's face was gloomy: "What will the county magistrate want to release him?"

"This is it."

Liu An shrank his neck in fear and answered with a stiff face: "I don't know either. It could be that there is an order from above and we are doing it according to the order. It could also be that it depends on the mood..."

"Bastard thing."

The old lady was so angry that her heart suddenly felt suffocated. She covered her mouth and coughed a few times.

"Old lady."

Jiang and others all changed their expressions and reached out to help.

"Ah."

Mu Xueyan pricked up her ears and heard exactly what the officer said. She couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Depends on the mood?!

snort!

If he dares not let him go, beat him!

Whether to cripple or disable him depends on my mood.

"I'm fine. I'm just mad at the county magistrate's shamelessness."

When the old lady heard her granddaughter's voice, her eyes lit up, her heart was no longer stuffy, and she regained her energy and spirit.

"We only have one thousand taels of silver, which is not enough for the ransom."

Qin took out the silver note given by Xu Jie, with a worried look on her face.

"Unfortunately, the blood ginseng has been cut into half."

Liu sighed sadly: "If only it hadn't been moved, it would be worth at least three thousand taels of silver if sold."

Before she finished her words, three spiritual plants with rich spiritual energy appeared out of thin air in the carriage and hovered in front of her.

A blood ginseng, a blood ganoderma, and a ice soul cold lotus.

"Ouch, I am probably dazzled."

Liu screamed in surprise, and without slowing down, she grabbed the three spiritual plants and held them in her arms.

She held it very tightly, as if she was afraid that the spiritual plant would fly away, and she held it so tightly that she did not dare to let go.

"Are these all spiritual plants?"

Qin cried with joy: "May the Buddha bless us, our ransom is enough."

"whee."

Mu Xueyan kicked her short legs in her mother's arms, looking very happy.

"Sister Yan."

The old lady looked at her granddaughter and said tacitly, "You are really our family's lucky star."

"whee."

Mu Xueyan gave the old lady a sweet smile in return, and kicked her short legs even more happily.

"Good girl."

Yan Linqing reacted quickly this time. She understood the old lady's meaning in seconds and kissed her daughter's pink little face lovingly.

"Yeah."

Mu Xueyan enjoyed her mother's caress very much. She stretched out her little hand and grabbed a strand of her hair, expressing intimacy in her own way.

"Ouch."

Yan Linqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and she used some clever strength to rescue her hair from the little devil's clutches.

"Yuyan."

The old lady looked at the intimate interaction between the mother and daughter, smiled with satisfaction, and gently reminded Liu: "Hide the blood ginseng, don't let anyone see it."

"Good."

Liu carefully hid the blood ginseng in the backpack, and covered it with a worn quilt, covering it tightly. Only then did she feel relieved and smiled.

The carriage creaked forward, from noon to dusk.

Mrs. Xu had just given birth and was weak. The guards did not dare to let her travel overnight, so they found a small village near a mountain road to stay overnight.

The small village is not big, with only seven or eight households. The villagers have been hunting and chopping wood for a living for generations. They suffer from hunger and cold, and the population is sparse.

The guards arranged for their master and helped the Mu family find a suitable place to live.

Mr. and Mrs. Old Li, who lived at the easternmost end of the village, had their son go up the mountain to hunt, but unfortunately he fell off a cliff and died. Their daughter-in-law was so sad that she died of hemorrhage after giving birth to her posthumous child.

The old couple and their only grandson depended on each other for survival and lived a very poor life.

The leader of the guards gave Old Li and his wife ten copper coins and agreed with them to let them stay overnight.

The old couple happily accepted it and cleaned up two empty rooms for the Mu family to live in.

After being exiled from the capital for more than half a year, this was the first time that the Mu family had stayed in a farmhouse and had a place to live.

The whole family was very happy. Mu Yufu and her sister borrowed a bucket from the old couple and planned to take a comfortable hot bath after dinner.

"There is a ditch not far from the village. There is a stream at the bottom of the ditch. I will take you there."

Old Li's grandson, Li Jian, is eleven years old. He is very smart and sensible. When he saw that there were guests at home, he took out a machete from the woodshed and planned to chop some firewood on the way back.

"Shi Bao, follow them..."

Mu Xueyan rolled her smart black eyes and whispered instructions to the elf.

"Okay."

After hearing what his young master said, Shi Bao, without any hesitation, turned into a stream of light and flew out of his dantian.

The ditch was not far from the village. The sister Mu Yufu carried buckets of water down to the bottom of the ditch, came to the stream, smashed a hole in the ice with an axe, and sank the wooden bucket into it.

The wooden barrel shook slightly a few times and gradually filled with water.

Mu Yufu was just about to lift the bucket out, but suddenly her wrist sank and the bucket fell a few inches further.

"Thump thump."

A strange noise came from the bucket. A fat red-tailed carp weighing ten kilograms was struggling desperately, swinging its big tail.

"Is there any fish?"

Mu Yulin looked surprised and helped her sister carry out the wooden barrel.

"Hahaha, what a big fish."

Mu Yufu smiled happily: "Sister-in-law has fish soup tonight."

"Sister Yan is truly our family's lucky star."

Mu Yulin sincerely sighed: "You can catch a big carp just by going out to fetch water."

"Let's go home and make some fish soup."

Mu Yufu was also very happy. She helped her sister fetch a bucket of water. The two sisters climbed up the ditch happily.

"My two sisters are really blessed."

Li Jian was carrying the firewood he had collected. When he saw the carp, he couldn't hide his surprise: "I live in Xiahegou Village for decades, and I've never seen such a big red-tailed carp."

"How old are you?"

Mu Yufu didn't want outsiders to know her family's secret, so she deliberately laughed and teased him, "How can a half-grown boy with only his hair not fully grown have any experience?"

"Don't underestimate me, sister."

Li Jian was not convinced and argued with his back straight: "Although I am not very old, I have learned hunting from my grandfather since I was a child. I go hunting in the mountains and fish in the rivers. I am very capable."

"Hahaha, okay, sister was wrong. The children of the hunter family should not be underestimated."

Mu Yufu found it interesting and patted his little head, laughing happily.

"hey-hey."

Li Jian's ears turned red and he also laughed foolishly.

The three of them returned to Old Li's house chatting and laughing. When Qin and others saw the carp, they all looked at the baby in Yan Qingqing's arms.

"whee."

Mu Xueyan was playing with her three brothers. Her soft and sweet baby voice made her feel very happy.

"Amitabha, Buddha bless you."

Qin clasped her hands together, bowed towards the sky, and told Liu to kill the fish, cut off a small piece of blood ginseng, and stew it into blood ginseng fish soup.

Jiang kneaded the dough to make steamed buns and fried a pot of cabbage.

The whole family gathered around the hot stove, eating steamed buns and drinking fish soup.

"I haven't eaten white flour buns for a long time since I left Kyoto."

Liu was eating a steamed bun. As she was chewing, tears suddenly blurred her eyes and she choked and cried out.
