Chapter 826: Hunting pheasants
Though she had nothing against kids, she did tell the guards that no one from the outside was allowed to enter the village and what was more this child looked a bit too dirty what if he was carrying something?
Maybe it was because of her wariness but Yu Dong's voice ended up turning cold which scared Shen Jin.
If Yu Dong was like every other woman in the village Shen Jin would have not been so scared but with her height and eagle-like sharp eyes, Yu Dong looked rather scary in the eyes of Shen Jin what was more, the moon which was shining over their heads made Yu Dong look exceptionally pale and terrifying by casting shadows on her face.
Shen Jin already knew that this was his eldest sister in law, after all, Ye Liu had shown Shen Jin how Yu Dong looked from afar because he saw Yu Dong from a distance the last time Shen Jin didn't think that his sister-in-law looked scary but now that he was looking at his tall and strong eldest sister in law, he could not help but shiver.
' Eldest sister-in-law looks so tough…does …does she really not bully my brother? She looks like one of those vile women in my village where I lived wuwuwu!' Shen Jin was still young, he did not understand that the vile women who came to his house in the past were all money lenders who were only doing their jobs.
All he knew was that they were strong and their appearance scared his mother and sister. His mother and sister were such bad people, surely those who could scare them were even worse?
Seeing that he was not speaking, Yu Dong frowned and asked in a rough voice again, " What are you staying silent for? I am asking you why are you here. Did the cat get your tongue?"
Yu Dong was only kind to her own family and for the rest, she did not have much patience regarding them. As soon as Shen Jin heard the impatient voice of his eldest sister-in-law, he was scared still. His legs started to tremble as his eyes turned red, he was going to be thrown out!
Just like the second sister-in-law, his eldest sister-in-law will throw him out for eating her food and then she will also beat his eldest brother.
The more he thought about it the more his eyes could not help but turn red and in the end——
" Wahhhhh! Don't throw me out, I only ate a little… I …I was…was hungry——wah!" Because he was startled and scared Shen Jin's speech became more and more incomprehensible which made Yu Dong frown all she understood was that the kid was hungry and he ate a little and he was not taking anything with him and she should not beat him for that.
" Seriously," Yu Dong looked at the crying child and rubbed the back of her head, she knew that she looked a bit scary but was she this scary? She didn't even know that her appearance caused kids to cry.
With a sigh, she crouched down and then took out a handkerchief from her pocket as she wiped the tears of the small mer who was bawling his eyes out.
" I am not going to beat you, I am only asking you why are you here. It's not safe for a kid to come in and out of a village which is so far from the town and that too at night, what if someone catches you?" Yu Dong softened her voice such that she will not scare the child any more than she already had, once she was done wiping the tears of the young mer, she waited for him to answer her patiently.
Shen Jin hiccuped seeing that his eldest sister-in-law was not blaming him and was talking to him gently, he sniffed and then wiped his snort on his sleeves. When Yu Dong noticed how dirty he looked she could not help but hand him, her clean handkerchief and then said, " Use this, it will make your nose all scratched up."
" T..Thank you." Shen Jin bowed to Yu Dong as he cleaned his nose with the handkerchief and then upon seeing that his eldest sister in waiting for his response, he opened his mouth but then he suddenly remembered that he couldn't tell his eldest sister-in-law that he came to see his brother Li, his daddy told him that if he saw his eldest sister in law he had to avoid her.
But he ended up getting caught now what to do?
Shen Jin opened and closed his mouth, he wanted to come up with a lie but he was only ten years old, and he could not think as fast as elders could in the end all he mustered was, " I was hungry so I came to find food."
Yu Dong was amused by his response, she did not think much and simply said, " I understand that you are hungry but from now on try to find food in the town there are many dangerous people lurking in here all right?"
In response to her words, Shen Ji nodded his head.
Since the beggar kid was polite and obedient, Yu Dong did not make things difficult for him, instead when the bush which was a bit far away from them moved, she picked up two stones from the ground while looking at the bush with her gaze focused.
" Hur!" She suddenly made a loud noise, her sudden action caused not only Shen Jin to jump but the thing which was hiding behind the bush also jumped up with the fluttering sounds of wings.
As two pheasants flew out from the bushes, Yu Dong looked at the sharply and with a flick of her wrist, she flung the two sharp stones at the flying pheasants, with the help of her spiritual energy the stones hit the pheasants directly and with a thump they fell on the ground with loud shrieks.
For a few minutes they flapped their wings but soon they stopped moving, seeing this Yu Dong walked over to the fallen game which she had hunted and picked them up from the ground before motioning the kid to come close.
Shen Jin did not know why Yu Dong was calling him but he still followed her order and came to stand at the location where his eldest sister-in-law was standing only to receive two fat pheasants in his hands which surprised him.
