Chapter 168: What Mischief Are You Up To Again?

"Aren't they about the same?"

Shi Yun muttered.

What a look!

Xiao Shitou wanted to rub his forehead; he twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Where are they alike? They're all different, okay?"

Shi Jin got tired of listening to Xiao Shitou, and took two wild vegetables to compare while searching.

Shi Yun followed Xiao Shitou in the search.

Shi Ren searched near Qiao Sheng, not far away; he had improved a lot compared to before, and didn't make mistakes this time.

There were that many wild vegetables dug up.

Qiao Sheng escorted them back, went to a villager who fed chickens, bought two large roosters, and planned to make beggar's chicken and mixed noodle steamed buns for them tonight, along with stir‑fried wild vegetables.

When Qiao Sheng returned, she called them to join her in the work.

Shi Yun especially liked the two large roosters Qiao Sheng brought back; upon learning she intended to kill them, she clutched them and said, "Aunt Qiao, don't kill them; I won't eat meat anymore."

Qiao Sheng: "……"

Shi Yun likes them that much?

Shi Jin said beside them, "If we don't kill them, what will we eat tonight? Mixed noodle steamed buns and stir‑fried wild vegetables aren't enough, are they? Don't be fooled by how nice those roosters look; their droppings stink, so just eat them."

He hasn't tasted Aunt Qiao's beggar's chicken yet.

Shi Yun held the two large roosters and said to Shi Jin, "Didn't you say you wanted mixed noodle steamed buns and stir‑fried wild vegetables? If so, why are you eating the roosters?"

"I said I want those, but I never said I won't eat roosters. Besides, Xiao Shitou and the others are there! Hand them over, you!"

Shi Jin reached out to snatch.

Wa—, Shi Yun burst into loud crying.

Shi Jin straightened up and said, "Xiao Pangzi, if you keep crying, do you believe I'll throw you into the river outside to feed the fish? You're so fat, those fish will love you; one will bite you, tsk tsk…"

Shi Yun's eyes widened instantly, and the crying grew even louder.

Qiao Sheng scolded, glared at Shi Jin and said, "Alright, stop teasing him. You stay at home, and I'll go buy two more. The two we bought earlier can be eaten later."

Shi Yun was determined not to let them be killed; if they were, who knows how she would be crying tonight.

Qiao Sheng thought it over and still didn't forcibly grab them to kill.

She this time directly killed the ones she brought back.

Hu Cuicui came out from the field work and happened to see Qiao Sheng passing nearby, catching sight of her holding a rooster in one hand, and felt a bit surprised.

Aren't they opening a shop in town?

Why did they come back so early today?

Where did the two chickens in her hand come from?

Hu Cuicui followed Qiao Sheng back to the Mountain God Temple, afraid of being discovered and not daring to get too close.

When Qiao Sheng entered the Mountain God Temple, she peeked from outside.

Seeing several children inside the Mountain God Temple, Hu Cuicui looked surprised and thought, "Why are there so many children here, Qiao Sheng? Where did they come from?"

"Who's outside?"

Shi Jin ran out.

Hu Cuicui, frightened, turned and ran, but she wasn't as fast as Shi Jin and was kicked down to the ground by him.

When Qiao Sheng came out, she saw Shi Jin dragging the swearing Hu Cuicui toward the Mountain God Temple entrance.

"Aunt Qiao, she was peeking outside earlier."

Shi Jin said to Qiao Sheng.

His strength was quite great.

Qiao Sheng's gaze fell on Hu Cuicui, and in a deep voice said, "Hu Cuicui, what are you doing here, and what mischief are you planning?"

Hearing that,

Hu Cuicui broke free from Shi Jin's grip, got up and said, "What mischief did I do? I just passed by and glanced, what's the problem? Why can't people look?"
