"Little Yue?" The old man stopped what he was doing and thought for a while with his white eyebrows furrowed. He suddenly realized something and said, "Oh, you mean that little girl? I heard that she found a way to get to know the youngest son of a family in town and became their concubine! "
"What?! Become a concubine? " Cheng Mengying thought that she had heard wrongly and confirmed again, "You mean she became someone's concubine?"
"Isn't that so?" The old man shook his head and sighed helplessly. "How could a young and pretty girl like her be willing to do this kind of hard labor? In the past, many poor young women who came to work couldn't resist the temptation of glory and wealth and ran to become someone's concubine. I don't know what happened to them in the end! "
"No … No way? Little Yue is actually a vain person? Why didn't I notice … "Cheng Mengying muttered to herself in shock and felt that she couldn't accept it.
Although she had often heard Xiaoyue complain about the unfairness of fate, Cheng Mengying had always thought that she was just fond of fantasizing and was relatively naive. She did not expect that she would actually leave so suddenly, without even saying goodbye, she disappeared without a trace.
"Why not?" The old man glanced at Cheng Mengying and said faintly, "A few days ago, she kept asking me about the rich children in town. I knew that she couldn't continue to suffer and it was only a matter of time before she left here!"
After that, the old man couldn't be bothered with the dumbfounded Cheng Mengying anymore and turned to do his own work.
Cheng Mengying felt as if she had been struck by lightning and was completely speechless.
She also admitted that the extravagant world outside was indeed a great temptation for a young girl who had not yet matured. However, if she were to stand in her own shoes, she would never marry someone she didn't know about just because of money or power. What was the difference between that and selling her body?
What's more, Little Yue was marrying into the family as a concubine. This was even more unacceptable to Cheng Mengying!
"Oh, Great Aunt Cheng, looking at you, don't tell me you're also tempted?" West Mountain Giant Bull happened to pass by at this time. Looking at Cheng Mengying's thoughtful expression, it carried the wooden bucket with the quenching materials and teased with an evil smile, "Why don't you learn from that Little Yue and marry a random rich man? Then, on your wedding night, I'll sneak in at night and help you knock him out. Then, we'll get all the spirit crystals out of his house. That way, we won't have to do hard labor anymore. What do you think?"
Hearing Xishan Giant Bull's suggestion, Cheng Mengying couldn't help but get angry. She simply gave him a hard kick, stared at him with her hands on her hips and scolded, "Go to hell! You might as well become someone's concubine, and then I'll think of a way to rescue you! Thinking about all these nonsense all day long, aren't you ashamed? Hurry up and get back to work! "
"Ouch …" West Mountain Giant Bull was caught off guard and was kicked. It suddenly felt a pain in its calf and lost its center of gravity and fell to the side. The wooden bucket in its hand tilted slightly, and some of the quenching materials inside just happened to leak out and drip into another wooden bucket with other materials.
But at this time, West Mountain Giant Bull was trying hard to maintain its center of gravity and didn't notice anything strange at all. Cheng Mengying didn't notice this situation either. She just snorted and prepared to go back to her work place.
"Hey, old bull, the raw materials in these pots are almost quenched. You can add that bucket of Starlight Oil!" The old man who was chatting with Cheng Mengying just finished checking all the pots and turned around to instruct West Mountain Giant Bull.
"Okay, okay, I'm coming!" West Mountain Giant Bull quickly agreed, then put down the wooden bucket in its hand, picked up another wooden bucket with Starlight Oil on the ground, and ran over.
"Slow down, slow down, pay attention to the dosage, don't blow it up like last time!" The old man looked at West Mountain Giant Bull trotting all the way and couldn't help but exhort.
West Mountain Giant Bull carefully poured the Starlight Oil into each pot and proudly showed off, "Old Zhang, don't worry! I'm a skilled worker now, how can I make such a low-level mistake? "
"Hehe, it's better to be safe than sorry!" The old man called Old Zhang grinned and said with a smile, "After all, these are dangerous materials, if you're not careful …"
Mr. Zhang's words were stuck in his throat. Just now, he inadvertently glanced at the pot and felt that something was wrong. He suddenly looked down and found that the ingredients in the pot were constantly changing color. His face immediately sank and he said sternly, "The color is wrong! What did you put in it? Don't tell me you mixed up the other materials? "
"How is that possible!" West Mountain Giant Bull was stunned and flatly denied it. It picked up the wooden bucket and argued, "I clearly put in Starlight Oil! If you don't believe me, you can see for yourself, there are still some left here! "
After that, Xishan Giant Ox handed over the barrel. Old Zhang looked into the barrel and found that there was some yellowish-brown material left at the bottom. It was indeed Celestial Rainbow Oil, but if you look closely, you can still find some purple viscous material floating on it.
"That's not right, look at the purple stuff, obviously there are other materials mixed in!" Old Zhang saw the problem at a glance, pointed to the purple stuff and said.
"Hey? This isn't me … "West Mountain Giant Bull discovered this situation, and its expression was a little surprised. It was about to say that it didn't do it, but Old Zhang happened to look up at the big pots. His face suddenly changed, and he shouted," Everyone, run! These materials are going to explode! Hurry up and find a safe place to hide! "
After that, Old Zhang didn't care to listen to West Mountain Giant Bull's explanation. He took the lead and fled the scene. The other laborers nearby were also shocked when they heard this. They quickly put down the work in their hands and hid in the wooden house not far away.
Looking at the five or six big pots in front of it emitting strange purple smoke, West Mountain Giant Bull was alarmed. It immediately called Cheng Mengying, who was not far away, and quickly fled in the direction of the wooden house.
Although it didn't know how powerful the explosion Old Zhang said was, West Mountain Giant Bull could feel that the problem this time must be very serious. Maybe the entire backyard would be destroyed!
"Boom!"
Sure enough, shortly after West Mountain Giant Bull and Cheng Mengying hid in the small wooden house, the big pots in the middle of the yard made a loud noise at the same time. The purple sticky liquid inside instantly erupted into the air, like a beautiful and strange fountain.
