Chapter 191 Niuniu is abnormal
The children looked at each other, hesitated for a long time, and then slowly approached.
However, once they got closer, the aroma of the food on the table eroded their reason like a tide.
Some younger children couldn't even control themselves. Their saliva flowed out from the corners of their mouths without any warning, sparkling, as if expressing their extreme desire for the food.
Chu Ci still had that seemingly gentle smile on his face at this time.
There seemed to be a sly flicker in his eyes, like a cunning wolf luring a lamb. Chu Ci deliberately dragged out his voice and asked softly and somewhat temptingly: "Do you want to eat?"
"Yeah..." The children responded subconsciously at first, their voices full of desire, but then they remembered their family's instructions, so they hurriedly shook their heads and said hastily, "No, we are not greedy."
Seeing this, Chu Ci couldn't help but chuckle in his heart. These children are really cute and interesting.
Therefore, Chu Ci's tone became a little gentler: "I know, you are all sensible and good children, I can see that."
"These are specially prepared by me for you to eat, so don't worry about anything."
However, although these children's lives were relatively simple, they were still alert: "Why are you treating us to a meal?"
They blinked their innocent eyes, with doubt and confusion written all over their faces, and their little hearts were filled with suspicion and speculation about this sudden kindness. After all, the gift without any reason made them feel a little uneasy instinctively.
Chu Ci couldn't help but pause slightly when he heard this.
Then, still with a gentle smile on his face, he said slowly: "Of course it's not without any conditions."
"Actually, I want to ask you about something about Niuniu. Are you willing to tell me?"
"If you can do this, then these meals will be your reward."
As Chu Ci spoke, he glanced at the children, observing their reactions, as if waiting for their decision.
Yuanniang received the signal from Chuci and immediately brought out a pile of bowls and chopsticks.
When the children saw this real action and realized that Chu Ci was not just talking, most of them couldn't help but show a look of excitement in their eyes.
However, there was only one girl who looked quite thin, still with a puzzled look on her face and puzzled eyes, and continued to ask: "Aren't you Niuniu's master? Why are you asking us about Niuniu? Don't you know Niuniu yourself?"
She frowned slightly and stared at Chu Ci closely, as if trying to find the answer from her face.
However, Chu Ci caught a different message from the girl's words.
If she remembered correctly, she seemed to have never mentioned the relationship between her and Niu Niu since she came to this fishing village?
So Chu Ci pretended to be disappointed, sighed softly, and then slowly said: "It's all because of what happened this time."
"I originally thought that I knew Niuniu well enough. But I didn't expect that Niuniu was deceived by the village chief in the end. Alas, when I think of this, I am filled with worry!"
Listening to Chu Ci's worried words, the little girl struggled. After hesitating for a long time, she finally said, "Actually, Niuniu...is willing too."
The little girl's voice was uncertain and hesitant, and her eyes flickered, as if she was struggling over whether to say it.
Chu Ci's brows furrowed even deeper when he heard this, "Did Niuniu say this herself?"
But before the skinny girl could open her mouth, a little boy couldn't help but shout out excitedly, "I know that, I know that."
Chu Ci immediately pretended to be extremely interested and said in a gentle voice: "Then tell me about it."
After he finished speaking, he suddenly realized that these children were just holding their bowls with their eyes wide open, but did not dare to use their chopsticks to pick up the food.
Seeing this, Chu Ci quickly picked up the serving chopsticks, first picked up some meat for the thin girl, then picked up some for the little boy, and then jokingly said to the other children: "You all eat, don't wait for me to pick up the food, I'm too busy."
Hearing this, the children all smiled shyly, and then began to pick up the food carefully.
The little boy suddenly became much bolder after seeing this scene, and started talking about what he knew.
The other children would occasionally interject a sentence or two to provide additional explanation, as if to complete what the little boy was saying.
The more Chu Ci listened, the tighter his brows furrowed, as if they were being tightly grasped by an invisible hand.
The Niu Niu described by these children is completely different from the Niu Niu they remember in their own impressions in terms of her behavior and performance.
In Chu Ci's memory, Niu Niu has always been that well-behaved and sensible little girl.
However, the Niu Niu presented in the words of these children at this moment seemed to have become a completely different image of a little gangster from before.
The Niu Niu they are talking about can fight and lie.
And after the villagers in this fishing village gradually lived better because Yuanniang bought seafood, Niu Niu actually blatantly took a cut from it.
"Go check." Chu Ci's face was as dark as water as he uttered these two words firmly.
As soon as Chu Ci finished speaking, the embroidered-robed law enforcer who was among the guards flashed away without hesitation or delay, and left in a hurry like a ghost.
At the same time, the Purple-Robed Envoy took advantage of the purchase of seafood to "touch" almost everyone in Houyu Village.
However, after all the busy work, not even a little useful gain was obtained.
Just when he was full of doubts and began to wonder if Chu Ci's special ability had lost its effect, the subordinate who was assigned to Chu Ci came hurriedly over, leaned close to his ear, and carefully explained Niu Niu's various abnormal conditions.
When the purple-robed envoy heard this, his heart skipped a beat, "It's dark under the lamp—"
"We investigated Ding Yong and Sun Fu, but ignored Niuniu, simply because she was a child. Even though she had been kidnapped and switched, I simply treated her as a child."
"But what if this child has been deliberately cultivated and shaped since he was very young?"
Thinking of this, the Purple-Robed Envoy felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet, causing his body to tremble slightly.
But the more shocked and unbelievable he was, the clearer the Purple-Cloaked Envoy's mind became.
"Immediately, send a message as quickly as possible, order someone to keep a close eye on Niuniu. Don't miss any of her movements, and any abnormalities must be reported in a timely manner. There must be no negligence or omissions."
