Kapitel 1696: Did You Think You Could Deceive Us?

The old man didn't even put down his load when a child asked him for directions. Instead, he pointed in a direction and said, "Just walk straight ahead and you'll be out of this town. It's the road to Locust Village. However, there are many villages there. Make sure you ask for directions then as well, so you don't find the wrong village."

"Thank you, Uncle." The child thanked him and prepared to leave. However, he saw a good-looking lady walking towards him with a rattle drum in her hand. A hint of wariness flashed across his eyes, but he did not run.

Running would make him look guilty — he would not do that.

Jiang Yue walked over. She didn't call the child Qu Xiao directly. Instead, she said, "I'm Jiang Yue."

If this child was Qu Xiao, he would've run if she called him by his real name. However, if she introduced herself first, this child would not run away.

Even though the child hid it well, there was still a visible shock factor on his face.
