Chapter 260: The Babies Know How to Speak!

The second son could feel it when he saw Lin Yuchen, so he did not want the eldest son to lean against Lin Yuchen.

The second son flailed his limbs and waited for Lin Yuchen. However, because the baby was too young and did not have a serious expression, no one could tell.

“Cold!”

The second son made a sound and shouted, “Back! Back!”

He meant for Ye Lulu to carry the eldest son back from Lin Yuchen so that he would not touch that unlucky man.

Lin Yuchen returned the eldest son to Mother Rong as he had hugged him for a while. His body was still covered in dust, so it was not convenient for him to carry the child.

No one could understand what the second son meant. Lin Yuchen looked at the second son in confusion, feeling that this baby had an inexplicable attitude toward him…

Lin Yuchen had seen the baby and put aside his strange feeling for the time being. Since Guan Chibei was not going to the government, he said:

“Although there are three babies, isn’t it more suitable for you to work at the government? You can bring more money home and protect your family with your identity. Thus, you should work at the government.”

“There’s no need for you to worry about your wife and children. Your family will definitely take care of them. There are so many people in the village as well.”

Lin Yuchen persuaded.

Guan Chibei’s eyebrows did not move. He said calmly, “My wife and children are too young. I’ll be worried if it’s not me taking care of them, but I thank the county magistrate.”

He actually rejected the county magistrate’s personal recruitment and was unwilling to enter the government…

All the villagers could not understand Guan Chibei. Was Guan Chibei crazy? He even rejected the county magistrate personally…

However, Guan Chibei did not move, which meant he would not go to the government.

Lin Yuchen was slightly regretful, but he looked at him curiously, not knowing why he would reject…

To all the commoners, entering the government was a good job.

Why did this man reject?

If he cared for his wife and children, wouldn’t he be more eager to find a job? If he didn’t go to the government, how would he provide for them?

Lin Yuchen asked, “If you don’t go, how will you earn money?”

This was not considered an offense. As a county magistrate, Lin Yuchen had the right to investigate the situation.

Guan Chibei said, “County Magistrate, I hunt. If I don’t have money, I’ll go up the mountain to hunt beasts and sell them at a restaurant in the city to exchange for money.”

Lin Yuchen was speechless. “…” He could not rebut.

At this point, Lin Yuchen could not force Guan Chibei anymore and nodded. He then looked at his wife and sons, Ye Lulu and the babies.

After learning about the wild beasts attacking the village and asking the villagers, Lin Yuchen said that the officials would give some compensation to the families who had lost their loved ones in the incident.

As for the wild beasts on the mountain, the officials would send people over to help the villagers with some mechanisms or precautions to prevent any wild beasts from leaving the mountain in the future.

Then, Lin Yuchen left.

After all, he had been out for a long time today. Furthermore, he had been smashed by a collapsed house. He was injured, but insisted on settling the matter of the wild beasts leaving the mountain first. He was already doing his best.

The village head led the villagers to send off the county magistrate. Before Lin Yuchen left, he even said to Guan Chibei that if he changed his mind and wanted to work in the government, he could go there anytime.

The village regained its calm. When Ye Lulu returned home, she even teased her second son and asked with a smile, “Little Chi Chi, why do you hate the county magistrate so much, hmm?”

It was unknown if the second son had heard the name of someone whose luck was poor. He moved his hands and feet excitedly and shouted, “Wow!”

His little face was extremely vivid.

As his mother, Ye Lulu immediately forgot about the county magistrate. She hugged her second son and kissed him a few times. “Are you going to talk?”

Today, the second son had let out two ‘Mother’ sounds!

She did not take note of it at that time, but she remembered clearly that her second son had shouted ‘cold’ twice!

The second son opened his mouth and laughed when he saw Ye Lulu kissing him. He was very happy and kept laughing.

Ye Lulu had no idea what was so special about her son.

On the other hand, Lin Yuchen had just returned to the city and was walking back to the government.

The streets of Yuan City were bustling with activity. There were many commoners and merchants passing by. Lin Yuchen patted the dust on his sleeve, the wound on his forehead still hurting.

However, Lin Yuchen’s noble aura was completely undamaged. As he was walking forward, a foul smell suddenly attacked.

Right on the heels of that, a large cluster of blood-red things rushed toward them.

Lin Yuchen was caught off guard and before he could dodge, a pool of blood had already splashed onto his fair face…

The blood was cooled by the cold wind. When it landed on his face, it was so cold that it made one shiver.

Luo Xiu flashed up from behind and used the hilt of his sword to push away the flesh that was flying in the air. With a bang, the blood that was about to hit Lin Yuchen’s face was knocked away and landed on the wall of a shop on the street.

The citizens of Yuan City to the left and right avoided the ball of flesh when they saw it.

The lady boss happened to walk out of the shop. When she saw the flesh on her wall and the fresh red blood falling, she frowned in disgust and couldn’t help but curse loudly with her hands on her hips.

“Which thing threw flesh and blood on the wall of my shop?! It’s daytime! Which black-hearted thing found cats and dogs to skin them and throw them onto the streets like this to dirty my shop?! Let me know who it is and I’ll catch you, and I’ll take off your shirt and pants on the street so that you can wipe the wall of my shop clean!”

This lady boss was fierce. She immediately scolded until she looked lively.

Lin Yuchen was already stunned on the spot. He looked at the meat that had hit the wall and became even more blurry.

That should be fresh. As the lady boss had scolded, they had just been skinned, so the flesh was still fresh and white. It was slightly red and the color of the blood that flowed out was very fresh.

On a careful look, one could vaguely see a foot-like claw…

However, what was puzzling was that this mass of flesh did not have a clear head, tail, limbs, or body. This meant that… this mass of flesh was cut off from a living creature. It was not complete.

When many commoners on the street saw this lump of flesh, their expressions changed after they reacted, and they revealed looks of fear.

“Who the hell is it? Killing cats and dogs in broad daylight! What the hell is this? Why throw them on the streets?! Are you courting death?! You even throw them on the wall of my shop! Who’s in charge now? Who’s going to wipe them clean? How unlucky. I open my shop and customers come and go every day. Now, I suddenly have such things on my wall! How unlucky!”

The lady boss was so angry that she placed her hands on her hips and continued to curse.

This was not considered a hidden weapon. At most, someone had just killed a living creature and thrown a lump of flesh out on the street for some reason. Unexpectedly, Lin Yuchen happened to be walking on the street and was almost smeared with it.

It was sent flying by Luo Xiu before landing on the wall of the lady boss’s shop.

The city was bustling with people and people came and went. There were also many people living in the city. Every family had chickens, ducks, and geese to cook, so this meat didn’t cause much shock to anyone. Everyone just felt surprised and unlucky.

On the other hand, the scene just now seemed to have appeared in front of Lin Yuchen again.

A lump of white and slightly red flesh and blood appeared in front of him. It kept approaching him and even splashed a few drops of blood on his face…

Perhaps because he was facing it directly just now, Lin Yuchen felt that his eyes were dyed with a layer of red.

Perhaps because of the shock, Lin Yuchen was stunned.

Luo Xiu stood out from behind and glanced at him. After confirming that Lin Yuchen was fine, he looked in a direction and shouted, “Who threw this out?!”

Luo Xiu was capable and immediately determined the source of the ball of flesh. It was from the dark alley in front.

“Let’s see who threw it.”

Lin Yuchen was stunned by Luo Xiu’s voice. He said this, then reached out to wipe the blood off his face.

Lin Yuchen felt moisture on his face. He looked at his fingers in surprise and saw that they were already stained with blood. Lin Yuchen instinctively raised his finger and sniffed it. It was just a fishy smell.

“County Magistrate, are you alright?”

The official behind him could not help but stand up and look at Lin Yuchen worriedly. He saw that Lin Yuchen’s fair and handsome face was stained with a little blood.

It made him look a little shocked.

It was inexplicable.

Perhaps Lin Yuchen’s expression had always been special.

The bloodstains were slightly red and very bright, making him look even more alive.

Upon hearing Lin Yuchen’s instructions, Luo Xiu immediately flashed forward. He used his Qinggong and moved forward at an extremely fast speed. However, when he arrived at the dark alley, he realized that the person had already run away.

Only a small pool of blood was splashed on the ground. There were also some other traces, indicating that someone had indeed killed some living creatures here just now.

However, it was uncertain if the living creatures killed here had been skinned. There was some dark brown hair, that seemed to be fur, scattered on the ground. Luo Xiu’s expression was cold. He went forward and chased a few steps in the alley, then observed the surroundings.

He realized that the traces in the alley were messy and obvious. The light footprints left by the person walking along the wall were clear. It was obvious that the other party was panicked and unfamiliar.

In this way, Luo Xiu determined very simply that the other party should be an ordinary person without any profound experience.

They chased after the light footprints. At the end of the alley, the other party should have climbed up the wall and escaped.
