Chapter 499 You Make Me Look So Stupid
"Snapped"
A crisp sound suddenly rang out.
After Sheng Hongtong angrily slapped away the small bug that had crawled onto his body, he quickly turned his head and stared fiercely at a group of two children, one big and two small, not far away.
As far as the eye could see, Xiao Yining and Wang Gungun were leaning against the man, sitting on a thick tree trunk together. They were both silent, just staring quietly at the winding mountain road below.
He opened his mouth, wanting to ask them what they were doing here, but then he remembered what had just happened at the foot of the mountain, so he closed his mouth unwillingly and sat quietly on the tree trunk like them.
There was silence all around, with only the occasional sound of wind blowing through the forest, rustling the branches and leaves.
Just when Sheng Hongtong was about to lose his patience, a burst of cheerful children's laughter finally came from the depths of the forest, instantly breaking the tranquility here.
The naughty kid suddenly heard this familiar laughter, looked up in surprise, and murmured to himself in confusion: "Is it Brother Tiger?"
As soon as he finished speaking, three warning glances fell on him.
He subconsciously turned his head and saw three people on another tree trunk, all of whom were using silent lip language to remind him to shut up.
Sheng Hongtong:......
The naughty kid pouted, his face full of dissatisfaction, but he could only turn his head reluctantly and continue to look into the distance at the place where the sound came from.
But after a moment, as the laughter got closer, Lin Yinhu and other children in half-worn clothes also appeared in the sight of several people.
Xiao Yining, who had been quietly waiting for the show to begin, saw this scene, and her big eyes sparkled. She couldn't help but cast an admiring look at Wang Cheng beside her.
Unexpectedly, the uncle was so capable that he could deduce the route that Lin Yinhu and his men must take, and even took them to wait and watch the show.
Wang Cheng noticed his niece's gaze, turned his eyes to her and smiled warmly, then held her tightly in his arms and said softly, "Qing Jie'er, today your uncle will teach you that human hearts are unpredictable, and you must be on guard against others. You must remember this well."
Xiao Yining nodded slightly and shifted his gaze into the distance.
At the same time, the conversation between Lin Yinhu and his friends was carried into the ears of several people by the breeze.
"Brother Hu, you are going to Yanjing to be a rich young master tomorrow. Will you come back in the future?" Heiwa, who is best friends with Lin Yinhu, asked curiously.
"I will definitely come back. My aunt said that she will send me back to see my parents when school is on vacation." Lin Yinhu replied as a matter of course.
As soon as he said this, the little friends beside him started chattering.
"Then you must remember to bring us something!"
"That's right, I heard that everything in Yanjing is excellent."
"Brother Hu, since you didn't bring any for us this time, bring some small things from Yanjing next time so that we can show off in other villages."
"..."
When Lin Yinhu heard these words, he frowned and said with difficulty: "But I don't have much money to buy these little things. I live in my cousin's house and can't spend money recklessly."
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a silence all around. The young boys surrounding him looked at each other with expressions of surprise and confusion on their faces.
Hei Wa asked suspiciously, "Brother Hu, how come you don't have any money? Didn't your parents give you fifty taels? That's enough for you to live in Yanjing for several years!"
Lin Yinhu explained embarrassedly: "My uncle asked me to bring the money back to return it to my parents. When I was in Yanjing, my uncle and aunt raised me. If I make money, I will definitely bring you some small things."
"Is it easy to make money in Yanjing?" a friend asked subconsciously.
"The uncles and aunts in Yanjing are very generous to children. Last time, an uncle came to my cousin's house and gave me a gift of one thousand taels when he saw me. He also gave Sister Qing five hundred taels." Lin Yinhu replied truthfully.
"But I also gave this money to my parents. I didn't keep any for myself."
Lin Yinhu's words amazed his friends. They couldn't imagine how huge a sum of money one thousand taels of silver was, and they couldn't understand why the people in Yanjing were so generous. This was something out of reach for them.
Heiwa patted Lin Yinhu on the shoulder and said enviously: "Brother Hu, you are so lucky to have such a powerful cousin. When you become rich in the future, you can also take us to Yanjing to make a lot of money, okay?"
Hearing this, Lin Yinhu couldn't help but let out a bitter smile, scratched his head, and replied with a hint of embarrassment: "Ah... Heiwa, that will take years. Ah Zhu said that I am too stupid and slow to learn things, which holds him back. But Heiwa, don't worry, I will definitely work hard."
After saying this, Lin Yinhu saw that everyone was looking at him with complicated expressions because of what he said. He couldn't help but feel confused and could only smile and ask, "What's going on with you? Why are you all staring at me so strangely?"
However, something he didn't expect happened. Heiwa stepped forward and asked, "Brother Hu, if you can't do it, why do you still want to go to Yanjing and leave this opportunity to Brother Dongzi? Isn't it okay?"
These words were like a sharp sword, piercing Lin Yinhu's heart and catching him off guard.
The friends around him also echoed.
"That's right, Brother Dongzi was praised by the teacher for his studies, and he also said that he would bring gifts to all the children in the village."
"He said that as long as he went to Yanjing, he would take us all over to see the world and make a lot of money."
"..."
"..."
These sudden words made Lin Yinhu panic. He waved his hands in panic and said, "It's not like that. It's not that easy to live in Yanjing. It's very dangerous there, and people often die..."
Unfortunately, they had been so bewildered by the dreams woven by others that they had lost their way, and their eyes were filled with longing for Brother Dongzi's promise.
At this moment, someone suddenly said, "Let's stop Brother Hu. His uncle will leave tomorrow. If he can't leave, his uncle will definitely take Brother Dongzi away."
"Yes, yes, yes!" everyone responded.
Hearing this, Lin Yinhu's face suddenly turned pale, and an unprecedented sense of crisis surged into his heart. Without any hesitation, he turned around and ran outside instinctively.
Unfortunately, it's too late at this moment.
Finally, it is true that "No one will save you even if you scream your throat out."
Lin Yinhu's two feet were no match for the crowd, and he was dragged away by his former playmates, tied up and gagged, and thrown into a pit that had been dug long ago.
Little Yining, who witnessed the whole process not far away, couldn't help but shook her head. She sighed like a little adult. This naive boy finally got into trouble because of his outspokenness and short-sighted thinking.
Then, Xiao Yining raised his head and looked at Wang Cheng, and asked curiously: "Uncle, who is this Dongzi brother they were talking about just now?"
Wang Cheng glanced at her approvingly: "Qingjie, don't you have any impression? This person is the grandson of your third aunt."
It’s the third uncle’s milk again?
It seems that this person really wants to get close to her father, and the whole family is trying their best.
Xiao Yining: Her father is such a popular person, everyone is...thinking about him!!!
On the other tree trunk, Sheng Hongtong, who had just finished watching the drama, was already extremely anxious. Seeing Wang Cheng still sitting on the tree without moving, he hurriedly said, "Hey, why are you still sitting there? Why don't you go save Tiger Brother?"
"There's no need to save stupid people." Wang Cheng replied indifferently.
When Sheng Hongtong heard this, he was shocked. He couldn't believe what he heard.
He quickly looked at Xiao Yining and Wang Gungun, and saw that they were still sitting there calmly, full of surprise. At this moment, a strange thought came to his mind, and he asked in disbelief: "Did you all know that something would happen to Brother Hu?"
The two little ones turned their heads when they heard that and nodded in unison.
"How did you know?" the naughty kid asked in shock.
Wang GunGun: "Of course!"
Xiao Yining: “I guessed it!”
Sheng Hongtong: "......, then why didn't you save him?"
"Didn't you notice that big uncle (young uncle) was teaching Tiger brother a lesson?" the two little ones asked in unison.
Sheng Hongtong:......
