Chapter 38 -38 I Want the Stars, You Go Pick Them!_1

Sun Dazhuang swiftly went to harness the carriage, and Song Yunuan, acting as if she were at home, picked up a quilt from the kang bed.

In fact, from the moment Song Yunuan had started talking, Liu Jincui felt her head buzzing.

She anxiously called out, “What are you taking the quilt for?”

“To use as a seat cushion.

My pants are freshly washed; I can’t get them dirty.” Then, hesitantly looking at the quilt, she cautiously asked, “Granny Sun, are there any lice on it?”

She also stretched out her arms, ready to throw it on the ground should there be any objections.

Liu Jincui felt a headache coming on: “No, I just washed it yesterday, and it’s been sunned too.”

Only then did Song Yunuan feel at ease.

She was about to walk out with the quilt when she suddenly stopped and looked at the plainclothes policewoman, “Comrade, fifty for the fare won’t do.

It has to be at least a hundred, or we won’t go.”

She also called out, “Uncle Sun, don’t harness the horse yet.

We have to agree on the fare first…”

Liu Jincui didn’t dare to scold her and could only speak kindly, “We’re all villagers here, and besides, the bus only costs three yuan.

Let’s not be unreasonable.”

Song Yunuan retorted, “Granny Sun, you’re so naïve.

The bus runs on a schedule, every three days.

Don’t think I don’t know that.”

Liu Jincui rolled her eyes, “Aren’t you tired holding that quilt?

Hurry up and get out.”

Only then did Song Yunuan leave the room, followed closely by the plainclothes policewoman.

She was inwardly impressed: this young girl sure had some guts.

Once Liu Jincui was alone in the room, she could finally get a bit of peace.

She still had items to pack – the sleeping potion, the dumb agent, and the token.

Right, this time the journey would be long; she had to take all the forged intro letters.

She also needed to leave a note for her daughter-in-law.

She guessed she would be back by the day after tomorrow night.

Who could have expected that, with a snap, the window was pushed open, and there stood Song Yunuan, smiling sweetly in front of it: “Granny Sun…”

It gave Liu Jincui quite the fright; she ground her teeth and asked, “Little ancestor, what now?”

“Bring some water and food.

What if we get hungry on the way?”

When the horse carriage finally set off, Liu Jincui actually breathed a sigh of relief.

Damn that wretched girl; she’d better be sold off quickly to plague someone else.

This was, after all, her way of solving a problem for the Song family.

The horse carriage left the city.

On the wide yellow gravel road, there was no shortage of traffic coming and going.

Not far behind followed a mule cart piled high with neatly stacked straw.

The stack of straw looked very tall and seemed to wobble precariously.

Station Chief Ho arranged for someone to go to the Sun family.

And he had to personally follow them.

Xiao Yu was skilled, but he was still worried.

Because Granny Jincui’s hands were stained with blood.

He didn’t report it immediately; there were too many ‘what ifs.’

He had made these arrangements in the shortest time possible.

Squinting, he watched Song Yunuan sitting in the horse carriage not far away, swinging her legs leisurely, and felt a sense of relief.

But as they say, the longer the night, the more dreams.

He planned to intercept them at the downhill at the junction ahead.

He had plenty of excuses.

To assign Xiao Yu a fugitive identity—no one would be able to escape.

Liu Jincui glanced at the two girls.

The older girl was no longer tense, but she clutched the purse that held the money tightly.

The younger one was innocent and naive, looking around with sheer curiosity and cheering at the sight of sparrows in the fields.

Annoyingly so.

More chirpy and bothersome than the sparrows themselves.

With so many people around, it wasn’t the right time to drug them.

Why hadn’t she forced the issue at home?

Liu Jincui was filled with regret.

Her complexion was poor as she quietly ground her teeth.

Song Yunuan was particularly considerate, “Granny Sun, you don’t look well.

Are you carsick?

Why don’t you go home?”

With a dark scowl, Liu Jincui glared at Song Yunuan.

She had no intention of indulging the girl and was about to scold her when she saw several jeeps kicking up clouds of dust, racing past on the other side of the yellow gravel road.

Song Yunuan was about to continue antagonizing the old swindler when she noticed a familiar black car, covering her mouth while her eyes sparkled with excitement.

“Handsome young man!!!”

“Could this be the destined fate?”

“Handsome young man, where are you going?”

“Goodbye, handsome young man, I’m off to perform a secret mission!”

Gu Huai’an in the car turned his head back in astonishment.

Through the fleeting car window, he saw only a small girl sitting on a distant carriage—Song Yunuan!

“Stop the car!!!”

Gu Huai’an ordered sternly.

At the same time, he felt a tightness in his chest, what secret mission, what nonsense was she talking about?

The sudden stop scared Chu Zizhou, but what surprised him even more was that Gu Huai’an picked up the communicator in the car, “Turn around, surround that carriage ahead!”

Meanwhile, Song Yunuan squinted her eyes towards the front.

Ahead was a crossroads.

One leading to Shengli County Town, another to the provincial city.

It all depended on which route old Guaizi wanted to take.

And they also had to wait for Station Chief Ho and his team to act.

It seemed like it would happen soon.

But unexpectedly, the once distant dust rolled back towards them, with four jeeps flanking both sides, while the ZH001 Su National Production Hunter III slowly stopped in front of the carriage.

At a glance, the four jeeps were clearly not the typical ones used by local units.

When the door of the black car in the middle opened, and a young man with a tall figure stepped out, the road suddenly fell into silence.

Today, Gu Huai’an was not in uniform; his black coat made his figure appear even more upright, and beneath the fine black hair, his indifferent face was handsomely intimidating, his eyes as deep and inscrutable as a cold autumn pond.

Song Yunuan felt like screaming out loud.

“Handsome young man, devour me!!!”

Gu Huai’an: …

What are these fierce and desperate words?

But at the same time, his gaze quickly swept over the scene.

He realized that only he could hear Song Yunuan’s heart’s voice.

A few people got out of the four jeeps, all wearing black work clothes and big-head boots, quickly sealing off the road ahead and behind.

Station Chief Ho suddenly jumped out of the car, running crazily towards them.

When Secretary Xiao Wu saw the pretty girl from the dumpling shop, he hurried to check with the commander.

However, the commander’s face showed no sign of instruction.

This…

Sweat was about to drip from Xiao Wu’s forehead.

Blocking a carriage for no reason, what’s the pretext?

Utter silence, what is this about?

These are local civilians, after all, and there’s an elderly person in the carriage.

If they get scared, they might very well file a complaint.

“Handsome young man, why are you stopping the carriage?”

“This old swindler and her son are both on the run, you need to be careful.”

“Sun Dazhuang has a pig-killing knife on him, and the old swindler’s bag also contains a pig-killing knife.”

“As for weapons, just flip over the carriage’s hidden compartment, and you should be able to find out.”

“Oh my, I can’t even breathe because of how handsome you are.” Song Yunuan touched her chest, thinking whimsically, “Handsome young man, do you want a star?

I’ll pluck one for you.”

Gu Huai’an glanced deeply at Song Yunuan, who was keeping a straight face.

Yes, I want the stars, go pluck one for me!

Is this about going to heaven?

Who is old Guaizi?

Who is Sun Dazhuang?

Why are you sitting in the same carriage with them knowing they have pig-killing knives?
