Divorce with three kids? I'll build a house and eat meat, driving my in-laws crazy.

Chapter 188 Do you like Master Chu?
Xiao Wu hurriedly grabbed Qi Qi: "What are you doing?"

He thought Qiqi must have gone mad, actually pouncing on his young master.

The young master often secretly gives Qiqi delicious treats.

He reached out and patted Qiqi on the head, and Qiqi whimpered in dissatisfaction.

"Don't touch it," Chu Xiu said, displeased.

He got up from the ground, wiped his face, walked over to Qiqi, squatted down, and said, "Let's go."

Qiqi received the instruction and excitedly ran forward.

Chu Xiu and the other two followed behind, trudging forward little by little through the mud.

Although they didn't know where Qiqi was taking them, they just felt they should follow it.

The three people and the dog quickly arrived at the backyard. Qiqi ran and barked, its black and white fur covered in mud.

It barked at the three of them for a while, and then howled towards the cave.

Finally, Yin Yin, with her sharp eyes and keen ears, heard the noise.

She stood up and said, "Mother, does that sound like Qiqi's voice?"

Li Ruru was preparing dinner when she replied without looking up, "Qiqi? Isn't Qiqi lying over there?"

She pointed to the large basket in the corner, where some silver was hidden, and had Qiqi guard it.

“Mom, it’s not there,” Yin Yin said.

Li Ruru looked up and, sure enough, Qiqi was nowhere to be seen.

"Where did that damn dog go?" she muttered, continuing with her work.

Yinyin ran out of the cave and saw Qiqi's figure in the distance. She ran back into the cave and said to everyone, "Mother, Brother Yishan, Eldest Sister, Second Sister, Teacher Fang, guess who's here?"

Everyone looked up at her, and Peipei teased her, "Could it be that the candied hawthorn seller has arrived?"

Yinyin shouted, "No, it's Qiqi, Qiqi is in the water."

Upon hearing that Qiqi was in the water, Li Ruru assumed that the silly dog ​​had fallen into the water and hurriedly went out to check.

The others followed them out.

Yinyin pointed into the distance and said, "Look, it's Qiqi bringing Master Chu, Miss Bai, and Brother Xiaowu over."

Everyone stared wide-eyed, but after looking for a long time, they still couldn't see it clearly.

It was too far away; I could only see a blurry figure, something like a clay figure moving around.

Chaochao asked, "Yinyin, did you see it clearly?"

Yinyin nodded firmly.

Soon, as the three clay figures approached, everyone could see them clearly.

It really was Chu Xiu, Bai Lu, and Xiao Wu.

And there's Qiqi leading the way.

The three people and the dog were all covered in mud, and you wouldn't recognize them if you didn't look closely.

When the three of them saw Li Ruru and her family standing on the high place, they thought it was a hallucination.

Chu Xiu said, "Xiao Wu, you punched me. Am I seeing things?"

Xiao Wu wasn't sure either, but he didn't dare hit the young master, so he just reached out and pinched his own thigh hard.

what--

He cried out and quickly rubbed his thigh, saying, "Young Master, you're not seeing things, and it's not a hallucination. It really is my godmother. Ouch, it hurts!"

Bai Lu squatted down and washed her hands in the muddy water, wiping the mud off her face.

He strained his eyes to see, and finally spotted Li Ruru waving vigorously in their direction.

"It's Aunt Li. Aunt Li isn't dead. They're there."

Bai Lu exclaimed excitedly. She pulled at her pants, trying to run over quickly, but she tripped over a tree branch as soon as she looked up.

With a splash, it fell heavily into the muddy water.

Xiao Wu and Chu Xiu rushed over and lifted her up from either side.

The more anxious the three of them became, the slower they walked, stumbling and falling all the way until they finally arrived at the bottom of the cave.

Upon looking up and seeing a familiar face, Chu Xiu burst into tears, crying out, "Godmother, Godmother, I thought you were dead!"

Li Ruru frowned. Why didn't this child want her to be well?

The ladder was washed away, and the only useful tool was the rope.

Xiao Yishan threw down the rope and said, "Tie it to your bodies, and we'll pull you up." Bai Lu frowned as she saw the high steps and the floodwaters that kept pouring down.

Xiao Wu was the first to climb up. As soon as he landed, he excitedly hugged Xiao Yishan: "Brother Xiao, we meet again."

Xiao Yishan retreated hastily as if he had seen a ghost, saying, "Don't come any closer, your clothes are too dirty."

His clothes have just dried; he can't let them get dirty.

Xiao Wu then realized that he was covered in mud and was still dripping water. He went to Li Ruru to complain, feeling wronged.

"Godmother, look at him, he even looks down on me."

Li Ruru added with a laugh, "I dislike you too."

Xiao Wu: "..."

Let the rain fall!
Another heartbroken person has been added to this world.

Chu Xiu said to Bai Lu, "You go up first, I'll help you."

As they were about to tie the rope around Bai Lu's body, Bai Lu didn't have any objections, but someone above them had a lot of complaints.

Xiao Yishan said, "Master Chu, you come up first, I'll go down to get her in a bit."

Chao Chao said, "Master Chu, come up here quickly and help pull the rope."

The two were urging him on, so Chu Xiu could only cup his hands to Bai Lu and say, "Then I'll go up first."

Bai Lu doesn't mind whether she goes in the morning or at night; as long as Aunt Li is still alive, that's enough.

She nodded with a silly grin.

After Chu Xiu climbed up, he immediately threw himself into Li Ruru's arms.

Li Ruru's face stiffened. Sigh, her perfectly good clothes were still dirtied.

He managed to dodge Xiao Wu, but he couldn't dodge Chu Xiu.

She wanted to reach out and touch his head, but his head was covered in mud and water, so she touched the air instead.

He said, "Alright, alright, Miss Bai hasn't come up yet."

Chu Xiu wiped away his tears, which were stuck to the mud and water, and chuckled, revealing exceptionally white teeth.

Xiao Yishan actually jumped down. As he wrapped the rope around Bai Lu's body, he said, "You don't mind, do you?"

He hugged her once last time, and now he wants to hug her again.

Bai Lu smiled and waved her hand, smearing mud all over her face.

"I don't mind, it's just something I had to do."

She was completely exhausted, and she was worried that the rope she had tied wasn't secure enough, and that she might fall.

Xiao Yishan saw that her once white and delicate fingers had broken nails, and there was a lot of dirt and blood between her fingers.

His heart felt like it was being squeezed by something, and he felt a pang of discomfort. He tightened the rope and said, "Hold on tight."

The rope bound the two together, and Bai Lu took a step closer and wrapped her arms around his waist.

"I'm holding on tight."

The people above pulled together, and it took a lot of effort to pull the two people up.

After the two landed, Chu Xiu sat down on the ground with a thud.

He looked up at Xiao Yishan and grumbled in dissatisfaction, "Do you really have to tie you two together? It's so tiring for two people to pull each other along."

Xiao Yishan scratched the back of his head, just smiled and didn't say anything.

Li Ruru said to the three clay figures, "Go and change your clothes quickly."

Xiao Yishan led Xiao Wu and Chu Xiu to a cave and said, "The clothes are in that basket. They don't matter whose they are, just wear them."

It was a mess when they were moving things; the men's clothes were all piled together.

Anyway, as long as the clothes are wearable, that's fine.

Xiao Wu and Chu Xiu were not particular about appearances. They washed the mud off their faces by the spring and changed their clothes.

Xiao Wu casually rubbed the two people's old clothes and hung them up to dry by the fire.

Chaochao and Peipei led Bailu to another cave, where they carefully cleaned the mud off Bailu's head and body with warm handkerchiefs.

They then changed her into a clean set of clothes.

Peipei carried the wooden basin to wash clothes.

Chaochao bit her lip and clenched her hands. After a long while, she finally spoke, "Miss Bai, do you...do you like Master Chu?"
