Rebirth: Living in Wilderness with My Superpower-Chapter 1033: Meeting County Magistrate Fat Ball Again

"You all... you all are incredibly bold! You even dare to break into the County Magistrate’s Mansion!" The useless son, who had been studying elsewhere and had never encountered Bai Junjun and Li Wenli before, instinctively called for the guards as soon as someone barged in at night.

But before he could shout, a pudgy hand suddenly covered his mouth, while two pairs of aged hands quickly restrained him.

"???" The useless son stared around in shock, only to see that the one covering his mouth was his own father, while the ones holding him down were the housekeeper and Uncle Master.

The useless son froze on the spot. What were they doing?

Seeing intruders and not uniting to fend them off, but instead turning to attack their own?

Flustered and alarmed, the useless son assumed they had all fallen victim to some Bewitching Powder and struggled even harder.

County Magistrate Fat Ball, worried that his son’s actions would attract the patroling Jin Army, grew increasingly irritated and finally smacked his son on the head twice in exasperation.

"You idiot, shut up already."

Just as he spoke, they saw Xiao Shan, the only one free to move, sprinting to the two figures.

"Sister Junjun, Brother Fox!"

The next second, Xiao Shan threw himself at Bai Junjun’s legs, sniffling and on the verge of tears. Squatting down, Li Wenli gently coaxed him, reassuring him not to alert anyone outside.

"???" The useless son was utterly dumbfounded by this scene.

What was going on?

"They’re our allies!" County Magistrate Fat Ball glared at him, his expression filled with frustration. "If you lure the Jin Army here, I’ll personally beat you!"

Finally understanding the situation, the useless son nodded cooperatively.

Only then did County Magistrate Fat Ball and the housekeeper release him.

As soon as he felt free, he saw his father, the housekeeper, and Uncle Master, moving like a gust of wind, rushing toward Bai Junjun and Li Wenli.

"Miss Little Bear, Fox Brothers, why are you here!"

"Did you come specifically to save us?"

Bai Junjun and Li Wenli nodded. Seeing this, their faces lit up with delight, but fearing that someone might overhear them through the walls of the courtyard, they quickly dragged the two into the living room.

The housekeeper, ever perceptive, kept watch outside the living room. Inside, Xiao Shan sat in Li Wenli’s lap, flanked on either side by County Magistrate Fat Ball and Uncle Master.

"When did you return? The atmosphere outside is tense. Did the Jin Army detect you? Could it be you came here solely to rescue us? Ah, the situation here is so complicated right now, I don’t even know how to explain it. In short, it’s a mess."

Li Wenli stroked Xiao Shan in his lap and said, "No need to worry about other matters. This time we came to help Old Uncle Qiu and the others get out. We also wanted to ask if you were willing to leave with us."

"?" The County Magistrate froze.

"This place is already under Yuwen Jun’s control. The only solution is to leave. Old Uncle Qiu and the others don’t belong here; it’s a given they can leave. But you, County Magistrate... I recall you once said your goal was to live out the rest of your days peacefully here, so we wanted to first understand your wishes."

"Your decision determines our next move," Bai Junjun added.

At this moment, the depths of the County Magistrate’s eyes mirrored his turmoil.

He... had indeed never thought about leaving this place... or rather, that’s not entirely accurate. In the past, he had always dreamed of climbing the ranks and making a fortune, but amid the chaos of this era, he had changed his mind.

In times like these, he’d rather be a big fish in a small pond than risk his life as a small player within the Imperial Court. For three years now, he’d focused only on safeguarding Dai County, content to live and die alongside it. freewebnσvel.cøm
