Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

Chapter 2866: Chapter 2867: As If Returned to the Past

The Luo Family shook her head in confusion, ”Sorry, I don’t have any impression, maybe my head isn’t working well again.”

She smiled apologetically, ”Aluo will be back soon, please sit down and have some tea first.”

Bai Ruozhu quickly glanced at Jiang Yichun, Aluo coming back? But Aluo is already dead.

Just then, footsteps sounded outside, and Qingyue’s voice rang out: ”Wife, I’m back.”

Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun hurriedly turned their heads to see a young man stride in, it was Fang Qing whom they once saw in an illusory realm of the Luo Family.

Bai Ruozhu pinched herself forcefully, could they now be in another dreamland of the Luo Family? Wasn’t Fang Qing dead?

”Are you Fang Qing?” Jiang Yichun’s voice trembled slightly.

Bai Ruozhu looked at him urgently, suddenly recalling that Fang Qing was Chushuang’s brother, and Achun’s uncle.

Fang Qing nodded heartily, ”That’s me, and you are?”

”I am Jiang Yichun, this is my wife, we are friends of Aluo,” Jiang Yichun said, not mentioning he was Fang Qing’s nephew because he wasn’t sure about the nature of this Fang Qing, whether real or illusion.

”Aluo made friends? When did you meet?” Fang Qing laughed, laced with curiosity but not suspicion.

”We previously invited him to leave home and travel together,” Bai Ruozhu replied.

Fang Qing was surprised and asked, ”You must have the wrong person, right? Aluo has never left the house, when did he go on a journey with others?”

Jiang Yichun wanted to speak, but Bai Ruozhu quietly pulled his sleeve, then said to Fang Qing, ”Perhaps we messed up with names, let us meet him to confirm.”

”Sure, guests are guests, we rarely have visitors, please sit, I’ll make tea for you.” Fang Qing said with a smile, ”My wife isn’t well, these tasks are mine to do.”

The Luo Family nearby smiled bashfully, ”Sorry to let guests see this.”

The two exchanged a glance full of affection, even Bai Ruozhu felt moved, such good feelings between the couple.

Soon the tea was ready, Bai Ruozhu discreetly checked, no issues.

She gestured to Jiang Yichun, and they both drank a few sips of tea.

She originally intended to release Furball to investigate the Fang Family, but considering Fang Qing was a merman with special abilities, if discovered it would be troublesome, so she dared not act rashly.

After a cup of tea, the sound of cheerful footsteps came from outside, followed by a childish voice: ”Dad, Mom, I’m back!”

”This child is wild outside again, aren’t you afraid of being caught by kidnappers?” the Luo Family scolded, but her eyes were full of love.

Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun were stunned, how is Aluo so small?

Still looking like a little boy, but his face was already just like later, it’s unmistakably Aluo.

Had she not known her location clearly, she’d have thought she had transmigrated to twenty years ago.

”These two guests say they came looking for you, do you know them?” Fang Qing asked.

Aluo looked at Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun, tilting his head curiously, ”Who are you guys? I haven’t seen you before.”

Bai Ruozhu’s doubts deepened but she dared not show them, smiling at Aluo, ”The Aluo we’re looking for is a thirty-year-old man, I guess we made a mistake.”

Aluo giggled and laughed, ”Isn’t that about as old as my dad?”

Fang Qing glared at him, ”When did dad get old?”

Actually, he looked just in his twenties, upon reflection it’s unlikely to have such a big child, Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun knew well, Aluo wasn’t Fang Qing and the Luo Family’s child but a servant brought from Merfolk Island.

”Sorry to disturb you, we shall take our leave and search for the person we are looking for.” Jiang Yichun signaled Bai Ruozhu, and they both got up to leave.

Aluo was still enthusiastic, ”I’m familiar around here, if you can’t find them, come to me, I can help.”

”Okay, thank you,” Bai Ruozhu waved at him.

They quickly left the Fang Family, smoothly exited the Alley, and left the area.

”What do you think is going on?” Bai Ruozhu asked, puzzled.

Jiang Yichun took her hand, ”Let’s return first and talk.”

The couple dared not delay, fearing any changes, they returned home in one breath and informed Tang Yin of their experiences.

”Is there such a strange occurrence?” Tang Yin was surprised too, ”Could it be a disguise?”

”I looked closely, no disguise, and it wasn’t in an illusory realm, just like being back twenty years ago,” Bai Ruozhu said.

Jiang Yichun frowned, ”Could it be that the Luo Family’s ability has improved, creating the people she cared about most from memory? She’s been living in the dreamland, and the Fang Qing in her memory was the age before his death, and Aluo was about that age then too.”

”Were Fang Qing and Aluo real people?” Bai Ruozhu pursed her lips, ”I paid special attention, I saw Aluo’s shadow.”

”Your Majesty, this matter is too bizarre, you shouldn’t go for now, it’s too dangerous,” Jiang Yichun said.

”Yes, we’ll investigate further, then excuse ourselves saying we couldn’t find the person and seek young Aluo’s help,” Bai Ruozhu said.

Tang Yin shook his head, ”I can’t stay here long, lest it arouses suspicion, not much time left.”

”Three days, give us three days,” Jiang Yichun gestured to Bai Ruozhu, they must figure it out, not just because deceased Aluo was their friend, but because the Luo Family was Jiang Yichun’s aunt.

”Okay, I’ll feign illness and rest for three days,” Tang Yin said.

News of Tang Yin’s discomfort spreading soon, causing local officials and aristocrats to visit, offering numerous supplements and advising Tang Yin to take a break, which he ”reluctantly” agreed to.

Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun checked the vicinity, discovering no changes around, but ordinary people couldn’t enter that area, as if there was a magnetic field, they detoured without suspicion, seemingly unable to see it.

The two cautiously ventured in again, quickly spotting a few kids tossing stones by the roadside, one of them being Aluo whom they just met.

”Hey, brother, sister, still searching for someone?” Aluo waved at them enthusiastically, grinning to reveal a mouthful of white teeth.

”Yes, haven’t found them yet,” Bai Ruozhu said.

”What does the person you’re looking for look like? Describe them, maybe I’ve seen them,” Aluo patted his chest, looking like a little adult.

Bai Ruozhu glanced at Jiang Yichun, then said, ”Looks a bit like you, thirty years old, half a head shorter than my husband.”
