I Woke the Sick and Disabled Prince on Our Wedding Night

353 Puzzlement

The village where Mrs. Luo and the others lived was indeed a peaceful village. However, even so, it was definitely incomparable to the environment in Cloud Mountain City.

This difference was because of Lu Ze, who had been in a position of power for a long time.

Originally, Lin Suisui was wondering why she needed to prepare so many things for just a few days in the village. Now, it seemed that she was indeed too inexperienced. She actually didn’t know that they could bring chefs and ingredients on this trip.

As she ate the steamed dumplings and millet porridge that tasted similar to those at home, Lin Suisui couldn’t help but sigh. No wonder those people tried their best to climb up the social ladder. The life of the upper class was indeed extravagant.

Fang Rui’er also shocked her.

It was unknown what Mrs. Luo had said to Fang Rui’er after she returned yesterday, but after coming to meet Lin Suisui today, Fang Rui’er was clearly much more restrained.

After sitting at the table with her and looking at the dazzling array of breakfast on the table, Fang Rui’er was so shocked that her mouth dropped agape.

“Take a look and see if there’s anything your mother and the others like to eat. I didn’t know what Mrs. Luo and the others liked to eat, so I asked them to prepare more food. Help me take a look so that I can get Bai Guo to send it over. Otherwise, we won’t be able to finish so much food.”

Lin Suisui pulled Fang Rui’er to the table and asked her to help choose some food for Mrs. Luo and the others.

Fang Rui’er only hesitated for a moment before picking a few dishes on the table. Lin Suishou asked Bai Guo, who was waiting beside her, to bring over a food box. After packing it, she asked the servant waiting at the door to send it to Mrs. Luo and the others.

“Madam Liu, why are you so good to us?”

Looking at Lin Suisui, who had arranged everything, Fang Rui’er couldn’t help but whisper, “I heard from my mother and sister yesterday that you’re different from us now.

My mother said that Mr. Gu is already a general and you’re the wife of a general now. Before you guys came, the village chief was so frightened that his legs went weak.”

“Why can’t I treat you guys well?” Lin Suisui looked at Fang Rui’er and asked softly, “Previously, in the refugee camp, my husband and I had no one to rely on. It was your mother who took the initiative to talk to us. Seeing that my husband had a fever, she even went back and cooked a bowl of egg soup for him.

You have to know that at that time, those two eggs were one of the few luxuries that your family had.

At that time, you weren’t stingy to us, so even if our status has changed now, we still feel grateful for your help in the past!”

Lin Suisui dispelled Fang Rui’er’s worries in a gentle tone. “I know what you’re worried about. Don’t worry, we’re not unreasonable people. As long as you’re still willing to acknowledge us as friends, we’ll continue to be friends.”

Fang Rui’er didn’t think too much about it to begin with, so after Lin Suisui finished speaking, she felt reassured and immediately relaxed.

“Yes, yes. To be honest, after I heard about your current situation from my mother and sister, I was really happy for you guys!

“I’ve always felt that Mr. Gu was impressive. At that time, my eldest brother said that Mr. Gu wasn’t an ordinary person. Now, it seems that’s indeed the case.”

After she calmed down, Fang Rui’er became more talkative. As she ate, she told her everything that had happened after her family parted ways with Lin Suisui and the others.

“My sister-in-law also said that the people in this village are quite nice, but they’re a little strange.” Compared to Fang Liu, who usually needed to work, Fang Rui’er had more time to interact with the people in the village, so she had a better understanding of things than Fang Liu did.

“I’ve also heard the villagers mention that there are demons in the back mountain.

However, I saw people enter the mountain a few times and come back a few days later. Although it was dark at that time, you know that we have chicks at home now. Sometimes, I have to go out and look for them.

Although they were very far away, I could tell at a glance that they were from our village. They just changed their clothes!

And the strangest thing about our village is that there are no children.”

Fang Rui’er said to Lin Suisui, “I’ve been holding back these words for a long time. Previously, I mentioned them to my mother, but she scolded me. She told me that if I ever go out and meet the villagers again, I can’t say such things to them!

However, things are very strange!

“There are many couples and old people in this village, but why aren’t there any children?”

Seeing that Lin Suisui didn’t interrupt her and had been listening to her attentively, Fang Rui’er mustered her courage and continued, “I was worried at first. Actually, I’m not afraid of any demons in the mountains. I’m afraid that these demons will only attack children.

So I haven’t had a good night’s sleep since my sister-in-law got pregnant.

I kept worrying that demons would come knocking on my door at night and harm my sister-in-law and nephew!

“Once, I really couldn’t help but mention it to my mother, but my mother almost beat me up…”

At this point, Fang Rui’er’s gaze became even more aggrieved as she looked at Lin Suisui and muttered unhappily, “But this is a big deal. What if… what if that demon really doesn’t target adults and only targets children?!”

“Is there anything else strange going on in the village?”

As the saying went, a casual remark might reveal much to an attentive listener.

Lin Suisui actually didn’t know what was going on in this village, but from Fang Rui’er’s recount, this was definitely abnormal. Even during times of chaos, there would always be new births. Moreover, since everyone in this peaceful village lived a prosperous life, why…

Why was there not a single child in the village?!

“What I mean is that if there are really demons on the mountain that target children, the people in the village probably won’t be able to sit still anymore. Not to mention anything else, at least there will be mages invited to subdue the demons.

“If the children were really captured by demons, the parents would have been heartbroken. You’ve been in the village for so long, but have you seen any parents who were sad because their children were gone?”
