Bai Wutong turned to look at Stinky and saw Lin Yue looking at her strangely.

Bai Wutong asked curiously, “Why are you looking at me like this?”

Chu Tianbao immediately glared at him fiercely. “Why are you looking at my wife?”

Lin Yue lowered his voice emotionally and asked, “Did Madam Bai expect this long ago, so she didn’t leave?”

He looked at Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao as if he was looking at an unworldly expert, filled with extraordinary reverence.

Bai Wutong was stunned for a moment before she smiled playfully. “Would you believe me if I said yes?”

Lin Yue’s eyes widened. In his opinion, Bai Wutong was indirectly admitting it. A bold idea even appeared in his mind.

Chu Tianbao’s martial arts were unprecedented. Bai Wutong also had an extraordinary disguise technique. Her skills were not bad, and the chicken she roasted was also very delicious. She was definitely a mysterious expert who had foreseen things and came out to save their Young Master from danger.

If Bai Wutong knew what he was thinking, she would definitely give him three words: King of Imagination.

Lin Yue’s eyes lit up and he asked shyly in a low voice, “Then can Madam Bai help me do a reading on my marriage?”

Bai Wutong was stunned. Then, she chuckled. He actually believed her and even wanted her to tell him about his marriage.

What a simple-minded person.

Lin Yue blushed and asked awkwardly, “Can’t I?”

Bai Wutong was laughing so hard in her heart that her stomach was about to burst. It didn’t seem like he couldn’t find a wife, yet actually wanted to know his marriage fortune. She put on a straight face and casually said, “It’s far away and right in front of you.”

Lin Yue was stunned. He looked around and repeated, “Where is it?”

Bai Wutong said mysteriously, “The heavenly secrets can’t be revealed. It’s very harmful to one’s cultivation.”

Lin Yue quickly nodded with an expression that indicated that he won’t ask further.

Bai Wutong couldn’t hold it in anymore and she burst into laughter.

Lin Yue’s face stiffened as he realized that he had been tricked.

It was even him who took the initiative to get played.

Seeing his embarrassed expression, Bai Wutong comforted him kindly, “It’s human nature to want to get married. I understand, everyone understands.” She pinched Chu Tianbao’s face. “Right, Tianbao?”

Chu Tianbao subconsciously echoed Bai Wutong’s words and said loudly, “Yes, it’s human nature to want to get married. I understand, everyone understands.”

When Madam Yang heard this, she suddenly turned around and said excitedly, “Who wants to get married? Mister Lin? What kind of girl do you like?” She was just short of saying that she was going to be his matchmaker.

When Bai Wutong saw Lin Yue’s expression that looked like he wanted to hide in a hole, she restrained her laughter and said to the expectant Madam Yang, “He has his own fate. There’s no need to trouble Auntie.”

Madam Yang thought that Bai Wutong was saying that Lin Yue was already engaged and even felt pity for her niece.

There were a lot of refugees. After a round of crazy looting, the road was cleared.

Bai Wutong and the others continued on their way. Not long after, they found a hidden place to stop and rest.

Previously, many villagers were injured and needed to treat their wounds. They also needed to eat something to recover their strength.

Bai Wutong used a small pot to cook porridge.

There were vegetables in the basket given by the villagers. She took another cucumber and handed it to Chu Tianbao and Lin Yue.

Stinky was in her arms and saw the cucumber in her hand.

He kept patting her arm with his little hand and even spitted saliva while making cute sounds. “Ah Pu ~ Ah Pu ~”

Chu Tianbao translated. “Stinky said he wanted to eat it.”

A six-month-old baby could eat a lot of vegetables and fruits.

When Bai Wutong placed the cucumber near his mouth, Stinky immediately opened his mouth and placed it into his mouth.

He was in the process of teething. The gums felt uncomfortable and he needed something to grind his teeth to feel better.

He hugged the cucumber and drooled as he chewed on it. After chewing for a long time, he still did not bite off anything.

Chu Tianbao raised his remaining mouthful of cucumber and said happily, “I’m going to finish it. You’re so stupid.”

Stinky seemed to understand. He puffed out his chubby cheeks and kept slapping his hand to express his dissatisfaction.

“Ah pu ~ Ah pu ~” He spat out saliva while making a cute babyish sound and a strong expression of dissatisfaction.

Bai Wutong couldn’t help but rub his fair and tender face. She carried the child to Chu Tianbao and prepared to make some supplementary food for Stinky with potatoes and sweet potatoes.

At this moment, Madam Yang came over with the big yellow dog in her arms. She smiled at Bai Wutong and said, “I think Little Master is about to drink milk. Shall I squeeze some for you now?”

In order to let Stinky drink milk at any time, Madam Yang had really put in a lot of effort. The big yellow dog ate more than anyone else, as though she was afraid that it would not have sufficient milk.

After what had just happened, Bai Wutong’s attitude towards them had softened a lot.

Although Madam Yang’s excessive enthusiasm made her a little uncomfortable, Bai Wutong still smiled. “Mhm, thank you, Auntie.”

“Sure thing.”

When Madam Yang was milking the dog, Bai Wutong went to her bag and took out several bottles of top-quality medicine. She placed them in front of Madam Yang and said, “These are some external medicine. Auntie, take them and give them to the villagers.”

Madam Yang hurriedly put down the bowl and hugged the medicine excitedly. “Thank you, thank you, thank you, Madam Bai!” One look at the medicine bottle and she could tell that it was a very expensive medicine. However, the villagers indeed lacked medicine, so she could not help but accept it.

Her simple face was filled with gratitude, reminding Bai Wutong of her neighbor when she was young. She would always be excited when her grandmother sent food to their family.

Bai Wutong smiled. “You’re welcome. You’ve also protected us.” She glanced at Village Chief Zhao, who was treating the injured Zhao Pengfei. “Village Chief Zhao is very admirable.” In ancient times, when imperial power was supreme, it had taken great courage for him to say those words to Deputy Commander He and for tens of thousands of refugees to resist the soldiers together.

When Madam Yang heard Bai Wutong praise the old man, she immediately revealed a proud expression. She pretended to be humble and said, “He’s just a boor. If it weren’t for the fact that he was lucky today and those two nobles were captured, I wonder how many people in our Zhao farmyard would have survived.” She looked at Bai Wutong again and took the opportunity to curry favor with her. “We’re really lucky that it didn’t implicate Madam Bai.”

Bai Wutong said, “Village Chief Zhao’s courage is still admirable.”

Madam Yang felt like she was being praised. She straightened her back and could not help but probe, “Then, Madam Bai, do you want to come with us in the future? We can still take care of each other.”

Bai Wutong looked at the injured villagers and knew what Madam Yang was worried about. She smiled and said, “Alright.”

This smile was like the spring sun shining into Madam Yang’s heart, making her feel warm all over.

She seemed to feel that there was something different about Bai Wutong.

But she clearly looked like the same person.

Bai Wutong boiled the fresh dog milk that Madam Yang had squeezed and placed some boiled potatoes and sweet potatoes into it. She mashed them into glutinous paste and prepared to feed it to Stinky.

Turning around, she saw Chu Tianbao picking up the tomatoes in the basket to tease Stinky. “If you catch it, I’ll let you eat it.”

He raised his hand so high that Stinky couldn’t reach it at all and could only howl.

If he was really angry, he would spit saliva on Chu Tianbao’s face.

Chu Tianbao was even worse. He took a bite of the tomato and smiled evilly. “I won’t let you eat it.”

At the side, Lin Yue had an expression that said he wanted to do something but couldn’t control them.
