Agriculture Escape: Ultimate Boss Has A Space Pocket!

Chapter 32

A Small Act of Kindness

How did Bai Wutong know where her original household register was? If he could find it for her, she would even have to thank him.

But if she could not answer, she would be in trouble in this situation.

However, if she fabricated an address and was found out, it would be even more difficult to explain.

Village Chief Zhao and Lin Yue’s minds were racing as they tried to think of a good excuse.

Just as Bai Wutong was about to say that she had lost her memory.

And when Village Chief Zhao was about to say that Bai Wutong and the others were his distant relatives who had come to seek refuge.

And when Lin Yue was about to say that it was difficult to find the address of the household register due to the severe disaster.

“Uncle!”

“Uncle!”

“Uncle!”

The three calls of ‘uncle’ eased the strange atmosphere in the air.

Everyone turned in the direction of the voice.

Zhao Yuan felt his blood run cold under everyone’s gazes. He was so frightened that he quickly waved his hand. “It wasn’t me!” He rubbed his hands and pointed at Huang Zhong on his back.

Tears welled up in Huang Zhong’s eyes, and his face was covered in snot and tears. He shouted at the puzzled Ye Wu, “Uncle!”

“…” ???

Everyone looked at Ye Wu in unison.

The officer asked carefully, “Captain Ye, is this your nephew?”

How could Huang Zhong, who looked like a mess, be his nephew?

Ye Wu subconsciously shook his head. “No.”

The officer immediately heaved a sigh of relief. If it wasn’t his nephew, he would have been able to collect the money without worry.

When Huang Zhong heard this, he hurriedly climbed down from Zhao Yuan’s back.

He was as thin as a skeleton and it felt like he would collapse if the wind blew.

He hurriedly took out a tightly wrapped booklet from his tattered inner clothes and walked to Ye Wu with trembling steps. He said sadly, “Uncle, it’s really me. My mother is Ye Cuilan. She lives in Baiyu Village in Jiangzhou County in Beiyun City. She married my father and followed him to inhabit at Shilin County in Lin’an City in Yan Kingdom Eighth Year. Two years ago, I passed the county-level examination and Uncle came to visit my mother. Why don’t you remember me?”

When Ye Wu heard this, he stared at his face and looked at it carefully. He really saw some resemblance to his nephew, Huang Zhong.

“You’re Zhong’er?” He could not believe that his nephew had become like this.

“Uncle, if you still don’t believe me, the household register and administrative documents are here.”

Being able to provide such accurate information, Ye Wu had already believed him. He hurriedly held his shoulder and asked anxiously, “Zhong’er, where are your mother and the others?”

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Huang Zhong, who looked no different from an ordinary refugee, was actually Captain Ye’s nephew!

The day before, he had shouted at the checkpoint that his uncle was Captain Ye. At that time, he had even been mocked.

In the end, it was true!

Those soldiers who had mocked Huang Zhong wished they could shrink their heads into the ground.

Huang Zhong choked and said, “My mother and father were killed by bandits. The baggage and silver are all gone. Grandmother couldn’t hang in there on the way and passed away.”

Ye Wu did not expect that the last time they met would be his farewell to his sister. The dignified man’s eyes could not help but turn red. He patted Huang Zhong’s shoulder and said with a smile, “You’re still living well. When they see you in heaven, they will definitely be relieved.”

Huang Zhong wiped his tears and looked at Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao. He hurriedly said, “Uncle, they saved me. They’re really not traitors. I can testify!”

How could Ye Wu doubt Huang Zhong’s words? Moreover, he had seen Zhao Yuan carry Huang Zhong on his back. He hurriedly cupped his hands at Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao and said gratefully, “Thank you for saving my nephew. After you enter the city, feel free to look for me if you need anything. As long as I can help, I won’t hesitate to help.”

Bai Wutong did not expect such a coincidence.

She glanced at Huang Zhong and said politely, “It’s nothing. It’s just a small favor.”

When she gave Huang Zhong a bowl of water, she really did not expect him to repay her kindness.

“I will never forget your small act of kindness,” Ye Wu said. “If you have no place to stay, I will arrange it for you now.”

The personalities of this uncle and nephew pair were somewhat similar. With so many people around, it was not easy to make arrangements. If they took the initiative to mention it, it meant that they sincerely wanted to repay the favor.

Bai Wutong’s impression of Ye Wu immediately improved.

She said, “There’s no need. We already have a place to stay.”

Ye Wu did not force them and said, “Then I’ll send you there.”

With the city guard captain sending them, they would definitely be able to avoid a lot of trouble. Bai Wutong nodded. “Alright, then I’ll have to trouble you, Captain Ye.”

Lin Yue placed the banknote book back in his arms in front of the officer and followed the team into the city.

When the officer saw that he had missed a great opportunity, his heart ached. If it wasn’t for Fourth Master, this idiot, shouting, how could he have drawn Captain Ye over! After they left, he immediately got someone to bring over a stick. He wanted to personally watch Fourth Master being punished.

With his nephew on his back, Captain Ye looked at the courtyard in front of him and asked suspiciously, “Is this where you guys are staying?”

Bai Wutong glanced at Lin Yue and nodded. “Yes.”

This mansion was the best in the entire Beiyun City. It could not even be bought with tens of thousands of taels. Captain Ye could not believe that they could really stay here. He confirmed again, “Are you relatives of this family?”

Bai Wutong glanced at Lin Yue again. “Sort of.”

Captain Ye immediately had an indescribable expression on his face. There were so many of them here and they were not immediate family members. They would definitely be chased out.

He had already made up his mind to let these people sleep on the ground in the refugee suburbs. After Lin Yue knocked on the door of the mansion, the people inside muttered a few words to him. Immediately, a few tall servants walked up to Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao and shouted respectfully, “Welcome home, Master and Madam.”

Bai Wutong nodded calmly at Lin Yue’s hint and said politely, “Captain Ye, please have a cup of tea before leaving.”

Captain Ye’s eyes widened completely. The ugly couple in front of him was actually the owner of this big family.

He had even asked such a presumptuous question just now.

He was someone who had been through a lot and he immediately returned to his senses. “There’s no need for tea. You must be tired after such a long journey. When you’re done resting, Zhong’er and I will visit another day.”

Hearing that Captain Ye was going to take him away, Huang Zhong immediately climbed down from his back and said, “Uncle, I’m not leaving.”

Captain Ye frowned and said seriously, “Zhong’er, don’t cause trouble for others.”

Huang Zhong hesitated for a moment and finally made up his mind. “Uncle, you told me when I was young that a gentleman’s word cannot be taken back. I’ve already sold myself and acknowledged them as my masters. Without their permission, I can’t leave!”

His nephew was a scholar, but he was going to be a servant!

When Ye Wu heard this, his face immediately darkened. He looked at Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao fiercely and questioned them with his eyes.
