Chapter 261: It Came to Add a Dish

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

The main objective of Ah-Wang Trading Company’s trip this time was to visit their miss who had married far away to the Qiu Kingdom. Using four carriages of fabric to trade for food with a certain trade union in the Qiu Kingdom was only secondary.

Qiao Mu did not ask anything else. To put it frankly, what she was doing was getting a free ride and following the trading company’s caravan to the Qiu Kingdom. Then, she would think of a method to go to the great snowy mountain outside of Five Moon City.

The caravan traveled during the day and camped during the night, a truly strenuous journey.

Normally, they ate one meal of bean porridge or mixed grains every day. Having husked rice and vegetables in their meal was a mere delusion. If a child did extravagant actions in someone else’s home, like how Qiao Mu kept using husked rice to exchange for this and exchange for that, they would have been beaten to death by their adults a long time ago…

There were five workers following the caravan, adding to a total of six people with Uncle Wang included.

When it was night time, they did not reach a lodging place, so the group made camp and huddled in a circle to eat a meal of steaming bean porridge.

Everyone had a tiny bowl, and no one could have even a tiny bit more.

In reality, Qiao Mu did not plan to partake in a portion of that pitifully small pot of bean porridge, but Uncle Wang called her over every time it was meal time.

The little stoic was taciturn, so she basically had nothing to say when she shared a meal together with the group. If it were not for a chatterbox in the group who kept making conversations with her, the little stoic could stay silent for the entire day.

The young chatterbox was a 15-or-16-year-old guy named Monkey who talked an extraordinary amount.

After a few days of interaction, Monkey did not scout out any information about Qiao Mu and instead revealed the backgrounds of everyone in the caravan to her…

He even told Qiao Mu all of the insider information behind their trading company’s eldest miss’ distant marriage to the Qiu Kingdom.

Thanks to him, Qiao Mu learned that the eldest miss of the trading company had not only eloped to the Qiu Kingdom but also was not doing so well right now. The trading company’s trip claimed that they were visiting the eldest miss, but they probably wanted to bring their miss back to the Mo Kingdom to the best of their ability.

After all, compared to the Mo Kingdom’s stability, a tiny, frontier kingdom like the Qiu Kingdom endured much more difficult days, especially in an unusual period like this.

However, all of this was unrelated to Qiao Mu. She did not have the leisurely time to stick her nose into other people’s business

“The western region is truly a complete mess! There’s a battle every day and a war every year—the conflict is nonstop.” Monkey drank a mouthful of porridge before smacking his lips and saying, “Xiao Qiao, why in the world is a child like you making the long and difficult trek to the Qiu Kingdom?”

Uncle Wang lightly kicked Monkey. “So noisy! Why does Miss Qiao need to report to you what she’s doing?! Enough, enough, hurry and finish eating and head to bed. We’re departing early tomorrow morning.”

“Ah! Look quickly! Am I seeing things? Why does it look like there’s a chicken kneeling under that tree???”A young worker shouted while furiously rubbing his eyes and holding his bowl.

Monkey jumped up, his bowl nearly dropping to the ground. “You aren’t mistaken! That’s a chicken! Hahahahaha! It came to add a dish for us!”

“Hey hey, be careful. Don’t frighten it!”

“Shhh.” A worker took out a net from who knows where and sneakily approached the tree.

Qiao Mu was sitting next to Uncle Wang and an ominous feeling rose in her heart when she heard them mention “chicken.”

When she turned around fiercely, it was indeed that foolish, weak chicken who was kneeling underneath the tree and cawing.

Sh*t! How did it follow her?

When Qiao Mu departed, she intentionally did not bring this fool and planned to leave it at home, and it would naturally disappear three days later.

Who knew it would have caught up to her now?!

And the problem was…

She had departed for more than four days already!

She clearly only used three summoning talismans. One talisman for each day, so three talismans meant it could only stay with her for three days!

Why?

Why did it still exist? Ah!!!
