After the empress transmigrated, she became the judge of the entertainment industry.

Chapter 742 Are you looking for a fishing spot?

"Xiaoyuan, let's go."

Xiao Yuan led the way, with Ye Sanqing and Sheng Hanyu following two or three steps behind her.

"She's quite lively, it's a pity she hasn't had enough to eat. Sigh." Ye Sanqing watched as Xiao Yuan seemed to know the cats and dogs kept by the people on the roadside very well, and even greeted them earnestly as she passed by, which he found quite novel.

“Children can’t understand all this… The adults probably didn’t mean it, they just said it casually, and it turned into a psychological trauma for her,” Sheng Hanyu said softly.

"Yes, but how many taken-for-granted words actually harm people?" Ye Sanqing smiled. "Am I being a bit naive when I say this?"

When she first arrived in this world, she heard plenty of statements like "women can't do this or that, and should do that or that," which really opened her eyes.

This shows that the people who originally lived here must have encountered far more severe situations than she had.

To say that one can truly empathize would be too arrogant, but Ye Sanqing could at least understand the indignation felt after hearing these words.

“What you’re saying is easy to talk about from a high place…” Sheng Hanyu also knew that such a matter-of-fact and even self-righteous statement came partly from stereotypes and perceptions, but partly from subtle and gradual discipline.

The scary part is that many people don't even realize something is wrong.

"When you grow up, you can get married" has become "When you grow up, you must get married." It seems like only a few words have changed, but the meaning is completely different.

Moreover, they wouldn't say that to boys.

"We both... well, it's not good to go too far now." Ye Sanqing smiled. "But we both have our own problems, and Xiaoyuan has hers too."

“Yes.” Sheng Hanyu looked around.

Ever since the last attack, he had a feeling that Lu Wangqian was hiding something and preparing to unleash a big move, but now it seemed to be going well, and the bodyguards were probably following him in secret.

"Don't worry, it's safe around here," Ye Sanqing said calmly. "That guy surnamed Lu is a bully who picks on the weak and fears the strong... Sorry, I didn't mean to say that about you..."

“I know,” Sheng Hanyu said, somewhat amused. He certainly didn’t want to be told to be weak, but… “In his eyes, I might be the one who’s easy to deal with, which goes against his principles quite a bit.”

"You're not easy to deal with, you're just easy to talk to," Ye Sanqing laughed. "If I were here, I would at least beat them all to a pulp first."

"Let's not do it," Sheng Hanyu said. "Back then, he deliberately had his men deliver it, as if hitting it would be doing him a favor, which made him unhappy."

“Sometimes thinking too much makes me even more upset,” Ye Sanqing said, raising an eyebrow. He then told Xiao Yuan, “Walk slowly, follow the light, try to stay on the main road, and don’t fall.”

The roads here are in decent condition; at least there are streetlights on both sides of the main road. However, the side streets are unlit, and Sheng Hanyu is currently using his phone's flashlight to illuminate the way for Xiao Yuan.

"I can walk here even with my eyes closed!" Xiaoyuan exclaimed. "It's okay!"

“We’re not familiar with this place, so we can’t be there quickly. Could Xiaoyuan take care of your older brother and sister?” Sheng Hanyu asked.

"Oh." Xiaoyuan seemed to understand, and began to slow down, moving forward cautiously. "It's just ahead!"

It wasn't too far, after all, the town wasn't very big, and they only walked for about ten minutes, Xiao Yuan said, pointing ahead.

However, it was not clear in front of us, but we could see some reflections near the ground, which should be the river near the house that Xiaoyuan mentioned.

The main problem is that if anyone lives in the houses around here, there are absolutely no lights on here.

Going to bed so early these days, have we really gone this far in saving money?

Ye Sanqing was actually quite suspicious about whether Xiaoyuan's uncle and aunt had given her anything normal to eat.

Besides Xiaoyuan's own misunderstanding, there must be other reasons.

If they're this energy-efficient, would they be so generous to the children they've informally adopted?

"Which house is your uncle and aunt's?" Sheng Hanyu asked. After Xiaoyuan pointed, he added, "Do they go to bed early?"

"It's very late now, but they turned off the lights a long time ago! They might not be asleep yet," Xiaoyuan whispered. "I saw them walking around after they turned off the lights!"

"Why is it so mysterious?" Sheng Hanyu whispered.

"Because it feels mysterious! If we're going to walk around like this, why not just turn on the lights?" Xiaoyuan tilted her head. "I heard we have to pay for electricity. Is electricity expensive?"

"It shouldn't be too expensive," Sheng Hanyu continued. "What about Xiaoyuan's family? Should we take you back to your home now, or to your uncle and aunt's house?"

"Xiaoyuan thinks... I'll go to my uncle and aunt's house first to see if my younger brother and sister are there, and then go home," Xiaoyuan said, somewhat hesitantly.

Although he really wanted to ask her why she didn't just go home and check, Ye Sanqing immediately understood after their conversation about the electricity bill.

Xiaoyuan's family probably doesn't even have electricity, otherwise she would definitely know how much the electricity bill is.

Therefore, she felt that if she went back home, she wouldn't be able to see if her younger siblings were there, but it would be easier to tell at her uncle's house. Even if they turned off the lights, they would still be moving around, so she could just ask them.

“Okay, but will Uncle and Aunt be angry if they are woken up?” Sheng Hanyu asked casually.

Ye Sanqing raised an eyebrow.

He really knows how to ask questions. This guy... it seems that if given the chance, he could basically kill someone without them even realizing it.

pity!

“I think they might not be asleep…” Xiaoyuan said, pointing to the stones in the stream, “We can cross from this side.”

Sheng Hanyu shone her light on the river, and Ye Sanqing also took out his phone flashlight.

Although she could rely on her intuition, she saw the fish.

The fish seemed to be sensitive to light; a small group swam over, but there weren't any large ones, because the water was very shallow in this area.

Sheng Hanyu looked upstream and downstream again and found that the bridge was not visible for the time being.

"Are you looking for a fishing spot?" Ye Sanqing asked.

“Indeed…” Sheng Hanyu said, “If there were a bridge, the water near the bridge would probably be deep, and it would be easy for large schools of fish to gather there. But I didn’t see any.”

"This river is probably only this shallow." Ye Sanqing also looked at the river and felt that it was somewhat unusual.

After all, this is a relatively dry place, and the river would definitely dry up during the dry season. It is quite rare to find a stable school of fish under such circumstances.

Besides, it's quite remarkable that the river hasn't completely dried up, given how shallow it is.

"Hurry up, brothers and sisters!" Xiao Yuan called out after crossing the river.

"coming."

Xiao Yuan was quite skilled. Actually, the river wasn't wide, only about five or six meters. Without stepping on the stones, Ye Sanqing could easily jump across.

But she decided to keep a low profile today.

"Uncle, Aunt." Xiao Yuan arrived at the door and knocked gently.
