Chapter 243 The Mouldy Grain Buried Hidden Dangers, A Nightmare Comes to Warn (2)_1
Mo Yan tidied up the room, added a few more pieces of charcoal to the stove, sealed it leaving only a small hole, and then planned to go home with her siblings.
At that moment, Zhenzhen hugged Mo Yan’s arm and said, "Big sister, Zhenzhen wants to go see Yun Zhao."
Mo Yan was taken aback for a moment but then she remembered that Yun Zhao had come to their house when they last had guests over. The two kids were about the same age and got along well, so it wasn’t surprising they wanted to play together.
"All right! But Yun Zhao might be busy with work, and we need to hurry back too, so you can’t stay too long," she said.
"Mm-hmm, thank you, big sister."
"Then let’s go!" Mo Yan replied.
The Changshan Academy wasn’t too far from Huixian Residence. Lizhong drove the horse-drawn carriage while inquiring about directions along the way, and they arrived in less than half an hour.
Mo Yan bought some snacks at a nearby shop and handed them to Zhenzhen to bring as gifts for the Yun Zhao siblings.
It wasn’t yet time for the noon meal, so there weren’t many people eating at Huixian Residence. The Punishing Shopkeeper was not in, leaving only Xiao Zhu to watch over the tavern; upon learning they were here to find Yun Zhao, he led them to the backyard.
The siblings were sitting under the eaves of the backyard, the elder one engrossed in a book, while the younger one played with a nine-linked rings puzzle.
