"I'm sorry, Little Light was once stolen before, so my family is very protective of him. We won't let him be exposed," Xiao Lingyu exposed.
"Ah?" Ye Feifei and the other two were obviously surprised.
"Someone has stolen this calf!" Ye Feifei gasped.
Xiao Lingyu nodded, "That's right. Little Light is very intelligent and smart. That was why someone put a lot of effort into stealing him. At that time, our family called the police and spent a lot of effort to get Little Light back from Guang City."
"Guang City?!" An Xiaohui looked very surprised. "Someone has transported it so far?!"
Xiao Lingyu said, "The boss of a big company in Guang City somehow found out about the cleverness of Little Light, so he paid a high price to hire someone to steal him. Fortunately, we found them in time and used a lot of connections to stop them."
"Ah?!" Ye Feifei was surprised. "Someone did so much to steal a calf?! Wouldn't it be more reasonable to use that money to buy the calf outright? What boss is so stupid?"
Xiao Lingyu, "..." Well, the boss was not stupid. She just didn't tell these people the whole truth. Of course, the fewer people who knew about the secrets of the Little Cattle King, the better.
Xiao Lingyu said with a smile, "It's not that the big boss was stupid. He did offer to buy Little Light, but I wasn't going to sell.
"After all, Little Light is my family. How can I possibly sell my family? Don't you agree?"
Ye Feifei and the other two nodded in agreement.
However...
An Xiaohui asked, "Boss Xiao, this photo..."
Like Ye Feifei, she also felt like posting it online. It was not often they'd run into such a clever calf. However, the owner didn't allow it.
Xiao Lingyu said, "As Little Light's family, I'm pleading with you not to post the pictures." Then, she paused and said, "But if you insist, I hope that you'll treat Little Light as an ordinary calf." In other words, please don't exaggerate about Little Light online.
Ye Feifei and the other two immediately understood. Their eyes lit up, and they said, "That's not a problem at all."
Xiao Lingyu's eyes flashed, and she said, "That's good!"
For the three of them, Little Light was just an ordinary, albeit slightly smart cow. However, if they stayed longer in Taoyuan Village, they would find out about the Little Cattle King. With a single comment on the forum, troubles would come.
Xiao Lingyu asked, "Can I join your forum?"
An Xiaohui nodded and said, "Of course, you can!"
Xiao Lingyu took out the phone, and An Xiaohui said, "You need to sign up for a forum account first. Then, I'll add you to our group."
Ye Feifei saw the white phone in Xiao Lingyu's hand, and her eyes lit up as she said excitedly, "Boss Xiao, your phone is the latest model of Company A's smartphone this year. It hasn't been sold on the market yet, but you actually have one in your hand. Boss Xiao, where did you buy it? I want this phone too!"
Xiao Lingyu looked at the phone and said with a sad expression, "I don't know where it was bought it either. My husband bought it for me."
"Your husband?" Ye Feifei asked again, "Then can you help me ask your husband? I've looked for many ways to buy this latest smartphone, but I can't get it.
"I heard that this phone has a very high camera pixel, and the pictures it takes are very clear. That is perfect for travelers like us!"
Xiao Lingyu shook her head.
Ye Feifei widened her eyes and said in confusion, "Boss Xiao, I just want to ask where I can buy it. I definitely won't disturb you and your husband."
Xiao Lingyu said, "It's not that I don't want to help you. It's just that my husband was in a car accident and is now unconscious in the hospital. If it's possible, I would like to help you immediately." There was obviously some worry in her tone.
Ye Feifei and the other two, "..."
Ye Feifei immediately said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I... I didn't know."
Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said, "It's okay. You're tourists here. It's normal that you don't know about my family's situation!"
Ye Feifei and the other two stopped talking.
Then, Ye Feifei thought of something and asked, "Boss Xiao, there was a child here just now. Is he your son?"
Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said with a smile, "No. He's the child of a distant relative of my family."
"That child is too beautiful and too cute. I really wanted to take a photo with him, but unfortunately, he didn't want to. The child disappeared in an instant." Ye Feifei quickly changed the topic.
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, "That child has always been headstrong." Xiao Lingyu looked around and said, "I still have something to do. Have fun!"
With that, she turned and disappeared.
Li Jian and the other two asked in puzzlement, "Did Boss Xiao purposely come here to stop us from posting the photos?"
"Also, don't you find it strange? We weren't being very loud so how did Boss Xiao manage to hear us from so far away?"
Ye Feifei curled her lips and said, "Perhaps she has sensitive ears."
"She said we can post these photos on the forum, but we can't say too much about the calf." An Xiaohui said.
"But what else is there for us to say except that the calf is a bit smart?" Li Jian said strangely, "Why did Boss Xiao come over purposely to remind us of that?"
An Xiaohui also frowned slightly and said in agreement, "It's indeed a little strange!"
Ye Feifei waved her hand and said, "Alright, stop guessing here. We're here to play, not to be detectives.
"Since she said that she can't post photos or if we did, we shouldn't say too much, we'd do just that. There's no need to dig into people's backgrounds. You make it sound like the lady boss has done something wrong."
The other two were first stunned, and then they came to their senses. "Yes, you're right."
Ye Feifei continued, "Boss Xiao has booked such a big mountain and planted so many peach trees. She must be rich.
"But even so, those who don't have a certain amount of connections shouldn't be able to buy that company's new smartphone.
"She might be living in the countryside, but she actually has a very extensive connection."
Ye Feifei's family background was quite good. Her father owned the largest company in one of the big cities. She had followed her father in business dealings since she was young, so she naturally had a certain level of insight.
An Xiaohui smiled and said, "As expected, you can tell people's connections from just one phone. You're really amazing."
Ye Feifei smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "I heard that the latest model of this smartphone produced by Company A is sold in limited edition worldwide. There are only ten of them in total. You can't buy them even if you have money."
An Xiaohui and Li Jian immediately understood what she meant.
Boss Xiao had one of the ten limited edition smartphones in her hands.
It was a limited edition worldwide.
A villager could own something like this. It meant that Boss Xiao was not only rich but also had many connections.
Li Jian smiled and said, "Feifei, after hearing what you said, why do I suddenly feel that this boss Xiao is some hidden tycoon?"
Ye Feifei nodded in agreement and said, "I think so too." At this point, she paused and said, "No, wait. Boss Xiao said that the phone was bought by her husband. It could be that her husband is that hidden tycoon."
"..." An Xiaohui was silent for a moment and then said, "Okay. This is her private matter. Let's not intervene. We shall continue and play." After saying that, she looked around and narrowed her eyes, "This is such a big mountain. Even if we take a whole day, we won't finish covering all the bases."
Ye Feifei nodded and said, "Yeah. Boss Xiao said that apart from peach blossoms, there are also flowers from other fruit trees on this mountain. I want to see them too!"
Li Jian said, "It seems that we have to find a place to stay tonight. Although we have a small tent, there are so many families in this village. If we pay, they will definitely be willing to let us stay for a night."
At this time, Ye Feifei said with some disdain, "I heard that the families in the countryside are very dirty and messy. I'd rather live in a tent than in a villager's home."
Li Jian thought for a moment and said, "That's up to you. However, I'd like to have a warm meal. Do you want to continue eating instant noodles and biscuits?"
An Xiaohui thought for a moment and said, "I'm with you. I also want to have a warm meal." These backpackers would stay in hotels when they were lucky. But most of the time, they could only sleep in the wilderness. Ever since they came to Taoyuan Village, they had camped outside for one night and eaten two meals of instant noodles already.
Ye Feifei said, "Okay, fine. Should we ask the other backpackers?"
"Of course!" Li Jian said with a smile. Li Jian fired off the question in the social media group. Most of them agreed to find dinner and lodging with one of the farmers.
Only a few, like Ye Feifei, rejected the idea because country people were dirty and messy.
