Chapter 190: The Little Ancestor Escaped through the Dog Hole

Zhu Xiuxiu followed Huo Xing’Er all the way to the base of the wall of Ji Mansion’s rear building.

"Why are we here?

Don’t tell me Suisui jumped over from here?

Given the height of this backyard wall, the little girl with her tiny arms and legs shouldn’t have been able to make it over, right?"

Huo Xing’Er couldn’t help but glance at Zhu Xiuxiu upon hearing this.

"Have you forgotten? Our little ancestor – she’s someone whose lightness skill could allow her to carry Old Six and Feifei.

If she wanted to jump over the wall and leave, not to mention this rear building wall, she could even leave through the high wall of the front courtyard’s Main Gate."

"So, Second Sister-in-law, you mean the little ancestor really jumped over from here?

Oh my goodness, behind this wall is the backstreet, the busiest and most crowded street in the entire Capital City.

If she jumped over from here, where on earth are we supposed to find her!"

Zhu Xiuxiu’s head was buzzing, and she felt completely overwhelmed.

She had thought that once they found where Xiaosuisui had left Ji Mansion, they could follow the clues to find her. But now...

"Oh, come on. With Xiaosuisui’s one-track mind, could she even think of jumping out from here?"

Zhu Xiuxiu blinked upon hearing this, clearly unconvinced.

"Second Sister-in-law, what do you mean by that?

How is Suisui’s mind one-track? She’s very clever."

"If you know she’s clever, why do you worry about her so much?

You should know that with her mouth, we should be more concerned about others, okay?"

Hearing Huo Xing’Er’s words, Zhu Xiuxiu couldn’t help but twitch the corner of her mouth.

"That’s true. We know how capable she is, but she’s still a child, after all.

Why on earth would she climb over the wall for no reason?

Even if she wanted to go out, she should have told someone in the family, and we could have gone with her!"

"Who said she climbed over the wall?"

"Oh dear, Second Sister-in-law, you already said that. You said she didn’t climb over the wall, so how did she get out?

The side door of the rear building is still securely locked!"

Huo Xing’Er bent down and swept aside the green grass at the base of the wall, revealing a small dog hole to Zhu Xiuxiu.

"Oh my god! Is this... a dog hole?"

Zhu Xiuxiu’s mind was reeling. Their little ancestor actually crawled out through a dog hole! If word of this got out, wouldn’t people laugh their heads off?

"As you can see, our little ancestor left through here. Do you see that paw print?"

Huo Xing’Er pointed to the paw print by the wall for Zhu Xiuxiu.

Zhu Xiuxiu nodded. "I see it. It looks like Xiaobai’s paw print."

"If I’m not mistaken, the little ancestor came out to find food for Xiaobai. Then Xiaobai ran out through here, and to find Xiaobai, she followed it out the same way."

Zhu Xiuxiu: ...

Her heart ached!

"What do we do now?

This backstreet is so crowded, and we don’t even know when she left. How are we going to find her?!"

"We’ll go out through here too. Then we’ll split up and search along the backstreet. The little girl has an amazing memory. As long as no one has tied her up, she should be able to find her way back on her own."

"Oh dear, Second Sister-in-law, hearing you say that makes me feel relieved.

You don’t know how anxious I’ve been. I just hope our little ancestor doesn’t run into any reckless people today, otherwise..."

Huo Xing’Er knew what Zhu Xiuxiu meant and chimed in, "Let’s hope not!

Come on!

We’ll split up and search for her."

It was just as Zhu Xiuxiu and Huo Xing’Er thought: when the little girl went out, their main concern wasn’t her safety, but rather the safety of anyone unfortunate enough to cross paths with her sharp tongue!
