Chapter 859: Kidnapped
Yu Dong looked at the groundhogs which climbed out of a pit in a hurry when the women started poking the spears inside the ground because these things lived under the ground no one had seen them before which was why the women who were digging the ground were startled on the other hand Yu Dong's eyes flashed with an idea when she saw these creatures.
Six or seven old and young groundhogs rushed out of the pit scaring the women who had no idea what to do with them given that they were incredibly sneaky.
On the other hand, Yu Dong already knew that she needed these groundhogs and since she wanted them she did not waste any time as she took out a small apple which she brought with her into the space and then threw it at the groundhogs. Her actions were pretty quick and no one saw anything, they were all eyeing the groundhogs which were running away but were stopped when the apple which was thrown by Yu Dong landed in front of them.
Logically, they should have ignored the apple and then continued to run such that they will be able to save their lives but the apple which was infused with Yu Dong's spiritual energy smelled so good that they did not want to leave it behind.
The group of groundhogs looked at each other before they jumped on the apple which smelled like a rare delicacy, seeing that they were busy nibbling on the apple, Yu Dong crept close to them and then threw a net which she brought with her to catch pheasants.
The group of groundhogs : (゜-゜) they …they were cheated!
Once they realised that they were trapped of course they started to struggle to try to bite the net but then they sensed Yu Dong's spiritual energy and calmed down before turning to look at Yu Dong who was staring at them with a calm face.
" Don't move too much if you do not wish to be skinned," though Yu Dong only released a bit of her spiritual energy, it was enough for the groundhogs to realise that she was asking them to stop moving.
They all stopped acting restless while staying inside the net docilely, seeing this the women who were startled by these things could not help but glance at each other, was Yu Dong a nature fairy or what? Why was she able to restrain these things? While they were bitten at every place which was caught by those devious animals!
" Dong Dong, are we going to eat them?" Though Aunt Wang had never seen these things before, she still felt that they should not eat these small things. First off they looked a bit too dirty because of their fur being matted with dust and mud, to top it all they were too small how can their village rely on these things?
Yu Dong's eyes flickered as she said, " No we are not going to eat them, there is something that I need them for."
Seeing that Yu Dong did not elaborate, Aunt Wang did not answer and for the rest of the women in the hunting team, they did not say anything even more. They were not even as close to Yu Dong as Aunt Wang was and yet she did not ask anything from Yu Dong who were they to say anything?
Yu Dong tied the groundhogs who were now sitting inside the net docilely and then turned to look at the pit which was done setting up then threw the meat which she brought with her and then said, "Let's move on to other places, we should not just put all our help on this one trap."
If an animal was to fall in the trap at once then surely she will raise many suspicions, it was better to make more traps which would throw the women off her trail.
The women in the hunting team agreed which was why they set up more and more traps around the forest while they were setting traps in the forest there was someone else who was setting traps for the children of the Shen family.
Qi Qing brought Yu Jie with her and then hid behind an alley as the two of them kept an eye on the small tent where three kids were taking care of a sick mer child.
Two of them were girls while the other one was a mer.
" Are you sure they will not trace this matter back to us?" Yu Jie asked Qi Qing, though she was all right with stealing kids from the villages which were next to theirs, she was a bit timid when she thought about stealing a child from the town.
There were so many officers patrolling, if they were caught what will happen to them?
" Why are you such a scaredy cat? I told you that this family has no background what will they do?" Qi Qing had reached out to Old Madam Shen to sell her children out a few more times but she did not hear anything from Old Madam Shen, soon she found out that Old Madam Shen was taken away by the boss of the liquor shop and was being kept locked up where she was beaten in the morning and night for not paying the debts she owned.
Each morning she will be dragged out of the liquor shop and then the boss will put up a show in front of others by beating Old Madam Shen to leave a message imprinted in the hearts of everyone who drank liquor in her shop every day on 'tab'.
It had now become a wonderful show for the residents of the town as for Shen Hanxing, she did not care about her fathers and siblings leaving them unattended. Since their wife and eldest daughter did not care about them, the two mers had to look after their kids on their own and there was a sick mer child as well, how can they have the time to stay with them all morning?
Thus, the four kids stayed with each other all alone. They were in short the perfect target to catch and bring back!
