Acai's Sky

Chapter 263: Rescue a Little Kid

Acai clicks [Home] to upgrade.

However, a message popped up on the screen:

[Host system abnormality, please try again later...]

Ah Cai was stunned for a moment, feeling confused and dissatisfied. What does system abnormality mean?

This system has never been normal, okay?

She turned helplessly to look at Ah Da and said with a frustrated look, "The system is abnormal and I can't upgrade! If I had known, I would have upgraded directly to the highest level. Now I'm stuck at level seven and can't go any higher. It's so annoying."

Everyone gathered around to comfort him, saying, "It's okay, it's just a small matter."

Their eyes were full of admiration for Ah Cai. After all, she had once bombarded the Lord God with mini electromagnetic waves, and was able to withstand the Lord God's small movements. This kind of courage was not something that ordinary people could have.

……

At this time, Acai was enjoying the food leisurely. She was tasting seafood porridge and eating lava buns.

Suddenly, she pointed at the steamed dumplings with pumpkin and egg and praised them highly, saying, "This is so delicious!"

She ate with gusto, shaking her head as she ate, and sighed, "You don't have to pursue fancy ingredients when eating. As long as the taste is delicious, it's enough. Such delicious food is really rare!"

Tong Jiawu, who was standing by, couldn't help but chuckle. She gently told Ah Cai, "Miss, you can't eat spicy food, otherwise Sichuan cuisine will bring you a more delicious experience."

Hearing this, Ah Cai curled her lips slightly, expressing her dissatisfaction, "It's too spicy, my cochlear ear hurts!"

Everyone laughed.

Ah Cai ate and chatted: "What interesting things are there in Ningguo? I'm really curious!"

Ah Da sat beside her, picking up some food for her while saying, "The market here is actually pretty much the same as anywhere else. But, if you're going to talk about it, the most common ones are probably bookshops and shops selling study supplies."

Tong Jiaqi also echoed, "Yes, I heard from Ah Er that there are a lot of poetry gatherings here. Many restaurants and teahouses are full of literati and scholars who talk about great things!"

Ah Cai swallowed the food in her mouth, blinked her eyes and asked, "Is there any poetry that can compare with the Tang poetry, Song lyrics and Yuan opera here?"

Tong Jiawu tilted her head and thought for a moment before answering, "Well, it seems not really. After all, the mountains and rivers are different, and the resulting poetic and literary conceptions are also different."

Ah Cai nodded gently, then asked, "What about food? Are there any delicacies that can rival the Eight Great Cuisine?"

Tong Jiawu smiled and replied, "Master, you should be able to adapt to the food here. The people here prefer a lighter palate. I didn't find any trace of chili peppers, and there are many other ingredients missing!"

Ah Cai responded: "Okay, I'll see it for myself when I have a chance to go out in the future."

Tong Shiqi looked puzzled and asked, "Why haven't Er and the others returned yet? Wouldn't they have returned by this time normally?"

Ah Da let out a disdainful "Tsk," and said with a hint of sarcasm, "That must be the Marquis' wife doing something again! I guess Ah Er and the others are busy rescuing people!"

Hearing this, Ah Cai couldn't help but shudder, thinking to herself, "The fighting in this deep courtyard is really terrifying. Anyone without some ability can't stay here!"

She couldn't help but become more interested in the hustle and bustle of the Marquis' Mansion and wanted to go and see the fun.

……

Ah Er rushed in holding a little baby in his arms, his face full of excitement and joy.

Seeing Acai eating in the garden, Aer's eyes lit up and he ran over.

"The master is awake! That's great!" Ah Er shouted excitedly.

When Acai heard the voice, she put down her chopsticks, stood up, and quickly walked to Aer.

"Where did this little kid come from? Did you save him?" A Cai asked in confusion.

Before Ah Er could answer, Ah San and Tong Shi Shan also ran into the garden.

"The master finally woke up?" Asan looked at Acai in surprise.

Ah Cai waved at them, then pointed at the wet little kid in Ah Er's hand and asked, "Did you rescue this?"

Ah San smiled and nodded, explaining, "This is the young lady's illegitimate brother, um, from this life."

Ah Cai curiously poked the kid's cheek with her finger, "What's wrong with him? Do you need help?"

Ah Er's eyes lit up and he nodded immediately, "Great! This was fished out of the pond!"

When 朏朏·Tuantuan heard that it was asked for help, it immediately flew out of the embroidered bucket bag.

A white light flashed, and a huge white cocoon instantly tightly wrapped the little kid on the ground.

Ah Cai looked up at Ah Er, frowned, and said, "You squatted down to talk to me. It's too high. My neck will break!"

After hearing this, Ah Er squatted down with a laugh, then picked up Ah Cai and said, "Miss, let me hold you. This way it will be much more convenient for us to talk!"

Ah Cai smiled happily, then pointed at the kid on the ground with her chin and asked, "Did you fish this kid out of the pond?"

Ah Er and Ah San nodded and answered in unison, "Yes, Miss. You don't know how lucky you are not in that house! All kinds of strange things happen there every day. It's really a headache..."

As they spoke, they both shook their heads and sighed, expressing their helplessness.

Ah Cai became interested and said, "Tell me about it!"

A'er gently put Acai down, let her sit down and continue eating, and then the two began to tell her a story.

"This child is called Lin Zixi. He is your half-brother, born to the Marquis's wife, Ru. He is a few days younger than you." Asan said.

"Today is your birthday, and also the birthday of that imposter in the Marquis's mansion. Everyone is happily celebrating for that imposter in the front yard.

"This little guy ran out during the celebration to help his brother get the gift he had prepared, but ended up bumping into the lotus pond," Ah Er added.

"Because everyone was gathered in the front hall at the time, no one noticed what was happening in the backyard pond," Ah San continued.

"After our interrogation, we found out that it was the Marquis' wife who ordered all this. Alas, they really don't take human life seriously!" Ah Er shook his head angrily.

Ah Da frowned, "You guys just rescued this kid like that? Aren't you afraid that the Marquis' Mansion will come looking for you later?"

Ah San scoffed, "With Madam Hou setting up this trap, it won't be discovered anytime soon. Madam Ru is pregnant now, so Madam Hou is hoping for two deaths with one body."

Tong Jiawu looked at the little kid in the white cocoon of light and asked, "Then he can't stay here with us, right?"

Tong Shishan sighed, "Now that he's awake, let's send him back!"

Ah Er was not happy, "Why? Wouldn't it be better to let the Marquis' Mansion become chaotic?"

Tong Shishan glared at him, "Mrs. Ru is pregnant. Do you want to kill two people with one body?"

Ah Er curled his lips...
