Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 1007 - 1009: The Pig-Headed Third Boss

The Second-in-command and the Third-in-command took their two brothers and hit the road.

On the way, the Third-in-command asked, "Second Brother, what did Boss mean by what he said?"

"..." The Second-in-command was speechless, wondering when the Third would get smarter, "I think you should give up your position as the Third-in-command, you’re as dumb as a pig."

Back then, Boss took them in and suggested choosing two among them to help manage the stockade.

He thought, according to their ranks, he and the Third should do it, but forgot the Third had a pig’s brain.

At this moment, the accompanying brother reminded, "Third Brother, Big Boss means he knows our identity now."

The Third-in-command was taken aback upon hearing this, his mind turning into a mess, "What? How does Boss know we’re from the palace?"

Though he didn’t speak loudly, his voice was particularly piercing in the silent night. The Second-in-command hurriedly covered the Third-in-command’s mouth, "Third, can’t you use your brain a bit? You can’t talk about this kind of thing anytime or anywhere, be mindful or you’ll bring trouble upon yourself."

The Third-in-command nodded vigorously, indicating he understood. Only then did the Second-in-command let go and continued, "The Boss is no ordinary person, he’s well-informed and observant; how could he not discern our identity? Just look at those bottles of antidotes he carries. If not for those, we wouldn’t be alive now."

The Third-in-command thought it made sense, but was also very worried, "Second Brother, what should we do then?"

"..." Indeed, the Third has a pig’s brain, "What should we do? Of course, we stay on this mountain and help Boss manage the stockade. Do you still want to leave?"

He deduced that Big Boss only knew they were from the palace but not their specific affairs.

Big Boss saved and took them in; they couldn’t cause trouble for him, especially since this was a matter worthy of capital punishment.

"From now on, think before you speak, and don’t say just anything. And you shouldn’t go down the mountain anymore."

The more he thought about it, the more he believed that if someone had to go down the mountain to track the Fourth’s whereabouts, it should be other brothers since the Third-in-command was too unreliable and prone to exposure.

Seeing the Third-in-command still in a daze, the Second-in-command slapped him on the back and said, "Don’t just stand there; let’s quickly go down the mountain and find those two people. If it weren’t for you capturing people this time, would there be all this trouble?"

"But didn’t you also agree?" the Third-in-command retorted.

"..." The Second-in-command was suddenly at a loss for words. It was the worst decision he’d ever made in his life. Was he becoming as dull as those around him?

"Alright, hurry up, you’re so talkative."

And so, they set out to chase Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming.

——

After leaving the stockade, Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming didn’t walk quickly. They were unfamiliar with the mountain terrain, and it was nighttime, pitch-black.

Moreover, there were no fixed paths on this mountain, so the two of them were feeling their way forward.

Yang Ming held his wife’s hand tightly, afraid she’d be scared, "Honey, don’t be afraid, I’m here."

"Mm."

Looking at the pitch-dark road, Xiaoxiao felt a bit fearful. She had thought of coming down the mountain by herself; if she did, she’d probably have died of fright before coming down. Thankfully Yang Ming came; she really couldn’t do without him.

The two walked cautiously like this. Xiaoxiao wanted to speak but, fearing it would attract wild animals, kept her mouth shut, planning to ask questions after they got down the mountain.

After walking for a while, they suddenly heard the call of an animal.

"Awooo~"
