Chapter 4 - Rumors

Xiao Li's parents ran a grocery store selling daily necessities. Therefore, some villagers didn't need to go to the market to buy necessities, as Xiao Li's shop was always open until nighttime.

The two parents glanced at a group of children walking in the distance. Xiao Li was fair and beautiful. She stood out the most, while Xiao Xun was at the back, obscured by the group of people walking with them.

Xiao Heng glanced at the group of people and narrowed his eyes. "It looks like Xiao Li is carrying a snow rabbit? It looks like it's injured."

Huang Yu, listening to her husband's words, furrowed her brows. "They must have gone near the mountains. Recently, wild animals have been coming down the mountain. I've already forbidden Xiao Li from playing there. Why doesn't he listen to what I say? I need to teach him a lesson. He's a little gege, but he doesn't listen to his parents."

Xiao Heng shook his head and smiled. "Don't be like this. You just found an extra son, and you already want to teach our little Xiao Li. Aren't you afraid your lessons will frighten our new son?"

Huang Yu felt extremely annoyed, but her frustration quickly subsided when she heard her husband's words. Her husband was right; she couldn't teach her little Ger a lesson. She was afraid it would scare her new child.

Xiao Heng looked at his wife and smiled. "Actually, it's fine if they play around the mountains. Those wild beasts are only seen at night, and they weren't seen by the villagers on purpose. The proof is that so far, no villagers have been injured. If the wild beasts had come down from the mountains, they would definitely attack the villagers."

Huang Yu pursed her lips. "But I'm still worried."

"Okay, don't worry too much. Xiao Xun can take care of Xiao Li." Xiao Heng spoke. Huang Yu looked at her husband. "Husband, what do you mean?"

"I suspect that Xiao Xun's background isn't simple. Although he looked very disheveled when I first saw him, he should have come from the mountains. But judging by his appearance, he didn't have any injuries, just some dirt and leaves. He should have good self-protection." Xiao Heng pondered for a moment and then continued. "It is said that there is a mountain not far from our mountain.

There is a road that connects the cities. In the mountains and vast forests there, there is a group of cruel bandits, they like to rob, kill and even kidnap and rape the Ger. Not a few of them who commit such crimes. But I heard from the city yesterday, that a group of cruel bandits were killed by someone. It does not prove that it was only one person.

I think that it was a group of soldiers who disguised themselves and tried to pass through the road where the bandits were. So they could destroy the bandits' den. It is said that none of them survived. But there are also said that all the imprisoned Ger were released.

The Ger were terrified and even some of them eventually went crazy. But some who managed to survive, it was said that a man covered in blood, his eyes were even more ferocious than the eyes of a cold-blooded animal. He cruelly killed all the bandits there. It is said that the bandit kidnapped his son. And he destroyed the group of bandits with his hands."

Huang Yu, hearing her husband's words, was immediately frightened. "I-is that true?"

Xiao Heng shook his head. "There's no proof. How could it be true? I think it must have been a group of soldiers in disguise. Then they made up a story that the bandits kidnapped his son and he killed them all."

Huang Yu nodded. He sighed softly. "You're right. But they were ruthless bandits. So the group that attacked the bandits must have received a reward for their hard work."

"That's for sure." Xiao Heng nodded. Huang Yu looked at her husband. "Husband, what if Xiao Xun is one of the survivors? What? Should we still take care of him?"

Xiao Heng looked at his wife. He rubbed his head. "Don't worry. Xiao Xun has no ill intentions. I can see it in his eyes. Even if he were one of the members there, he wouldn't have any malice."

Huang Yu nodded. "Okay. Just don't say anything in front of the children. They won't be comfortable hearing it."

Xiao Heng nodded his head. "That's what I wanted to say. Okay, it's just a rumor. I don't know the truth. It seems Xiao brought a pheasant."

Huang Yu glanced at the group of children who had arrived and saw Xiao Xun, who was indeed carrying a pheasant and a dead rabbit. Huang Yu smiled, "It seems he has good hunting talent."

"Yes."

Xiao Li immediately smiled brightly, "Daddy, Daddy, we went hunting and caught a rabbit and a pheasant."

Xiao Li pointed out the rabbit, which was still alive and had beautiful fur. "Look, Daddy, isn't this little animal very beautiful? This is the rabbit that Young Master Bai caught."

When the two children heard their little Ger's words, they were a little surprised and looked at Bai Moye. Bai Moye, who was being glanced at by Xiao Li's parents, became even more embarrassed.

"Uncle, Uncle Ger." Bai Moye felt embarrassed and nervous.

Xiao Heng smiled, "Young Master Bai is truly amazing. You managed to catch a rabbit."

Bai Moye waved his hand, "Just luck."

Xiao Li said, "Daddy, let's make a cage for this little rabbit. Look, its foot is bleeding."

Huang Yu looked at the rabbit's foot, which was a bright red color that was drying. He immediately said, "Quickly bring something to treat this little rabbit's wound."

Xiao Heng nodded his head. He went to the back and picked some leaves that could be used as medicine to stop bleeding. He brought them back to them.

Huang Yu looked at Xiao Xun. He smiled gently. "Xiao Xun, did you catch this?"

Xiao Xun nodded his head. "Yes, Daddy."

Huang Yu smiled brightly, "Wow, that's amazing. Our Xiao Xun can catch rabbits and pheasants."

Xiao Li smiled broadly, "Daddy, Gege is so amazing. He can even kill a rabbit with just a twig. Gege is amazing."
