Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11190

"Jinling, this is the sweet potato vermicelli dish your great grandmother made especially for you. It's cooked with pork belly. Try it."

"This is the egg tea your great grandmother made for you and the baby. It has sugar and a spoonful of lard in it. It's sweet and delicious. Try it..."

Faced with the enthusiasm of Luo the blacksmith, Zuo Jinling held the bowl and chopsticks in his hands, his cheeks stuffed full of food.

But he still had to deal with it, and said vaguely: "Grandpa, my bowl is full of food, I can't eat anymore."

"Grandpa, you eat too, let's eat together."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Cuilian came over with a plate of freshly-made sauce-flavored pancakes.

She placed the Jiangxiang cake in front of Zuo Jinling with a loving smile on her face: "Jinling, this is Jiangxiang cake, it was posted by Rong Gu, who said it is sold in big cities outside, and many children like the taste. Try a few pieces and see."

"Okay, thank you grandma, and thank you Rong Gugu."

Wang Cuilian smiled with even more relief on her face.

Rong Gu, who was in the kitchen behind an archway, heard Zuo Jinling's thanks and nodded with a smile.

Luo Baobao, who was holding the egg tea and drinking it in small sips while blowing on it, could still maintain a normal expression when Luo the blacksmith enthusiastically persuaded Zuo Jinling to eat this and that.

But when he heard Wang Cuilian running out to deliver the sauce-flavored cakes, especially the word "little kids", Luo Baobao suddenly couldn't help but burst out laughing.

As he smiled, half of the egg tea in his mouth sprayed onto the table, and some was also on his chin.

"Baby, what's wrong with you? Are you choking? Be careful!"

Wang Cuilian quickly took out her handkerchief and was about to help Luo Baobao wipe it, but was blocked by Luo Baobao.

"Grandma, you just called Jinling a child, and now you're treating me like a child again?"

When Wang Cuilian heard this, she turned to look at Zuo Jinling, whose face was also flushed.

Wang Cuilian realized something and laughed: "No matter how old you two are, in front of an old woman like me, you are just like little kids!"

Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang also entered the dining hall at this time. Yang Ruoqing followed Wang Cuilian's words and said, "Let's not talk about you two. Even if your father and I were in front of your uncle and aunt, we would still be children, haha..."

Luo Baobao raised his eyebrows and stopped arguing. He cleaned up the half mouthful of egg tea that she had spit out on the table, then lowered his head and continued drinking from the bowl.

Zuo Jinling put down his bowl and chopsticks, straightened his clothes which were not at all messy or wrinkled, stood up and greeted Luo Fengtang and Yang Ruoqing.

Luo Fengtang nodded to Zuo Jinling, motioning him to sit down and continue eating breakfast without being polite.

Yang Ruoqing smiled gently at Zuo Jinling: "Just treat it as your own home. Eat whatever you want. Make sure you are full because you will have a long day of work during the day."

Zuo Jinling nodded and glanced at the breakfast on the table, "It's too rich! I can't eat it all!"

Yang Ruoqing smiled: "Then eat as much as you can, pick out the ones you like best."

Zuo Jinling nodded.

Aunt Rong brought bowls and chopsticks for Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang. Luo Fengtang sat near Zuo Jinling, and the two of them ate while exchanging opinions on today's drainage matters.

Yang Ruoqing picked up a few pieces of sauce-flavored pancakes sprinkled with chopped green onions and sat next to Luo Baobao.

"Mom, Aunt Rong's sauce-flavored pancakes are so delicious, crispy on one side and soft on the other. I just ate three in one go!"

Yang Ruoqing smiled: "Really? You gave it such a high evaluation? Then I have to try it carefully."

Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang did not mention a word to anyone else at the dinner table about the dream that seemed real but not real last night.

Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang would explore this dream on their own. So after the family finished breakfast, Luo Baobao and Zuo Jinling went out to the village to arrange post-disaster reconstruction.

Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang went to the Zhengjia Village Reservoir.

When we got near the reservoir, the temporary fences used as a cover to prevent nearby villagers and livestock from getting too close were still intact.

Villagers have also been arranged to take turns guarding the area, and anyone who approaches will be persuaded to leave.

"Tang, the sedan chair in my dream last night was at this intersection."

Yang Ruoqing pointed to the field path a few steps ahead and described to Luo Fengtang what happened last night, "After the sedan chair was lifted up, it jumped directly over the fence over there, and then plunged into the reservoir."

Yang Ruoqing explained the situation while taking Luo Fengtang towards the reservoir. On the way, they naturally met the villagers who stayed there to take turns guarding the reservoir.

When the villagers saw Luo Fengtang and Yang Ruoqing, they hurried over to greet them.

Luo Fengtang waved his hand: "We will inspect it, you go back to your place and do your work."

After sending the villager away, Luo Fengtang turned around and found that Yang Ruoqing had actually run to the lake a few steps away and was squatting there with her back to him.

"What's wrong, Qing'er? Did you find anything?" Luo Fengtang asked.

Yang Ruoqing pointed at a few footprints on the ground and said, "Tang, look at these footprints on the ground. Can you tell anything?"

Yang Ruoqing stepped aside and let Luo Fengtang go forward. The two of them stared at the footprints on the ground carefully.

It was a slope that led gently down to the reservoir from the dam where they were standing.

The slope was nearly ten meters high and slippery all the way. A row of clear footprints were left on this slippery slope.

If the direction of the footprints is from the dam to the reservoir, there is nothing to be surprised about. Perhaps some villagers were disobedient in the past two days, or walked towards the water's edge of the reservoir for some reason.

But these footprints were coming from the reservoir to the dam.

"Looking at these footprints, did the other person come out of the reservoir and walk towards the dam?"

Luo Fengtang's pupils widened slightly, and he was shocked by the analysis he had said.

Yang Ruoqing said: "Go ahead and analyze it boldly."

Luo Fengtang returned his gaze to the long trail of footprints on the ground and continued, "If the villagers nearby were disobedient and came to the water, then the footprints must have gone both ways."

"Even if you don't go straight back to the dam from the origin, you will walk along the water for a while before going up to the dam. But when I looked around here, there were no other footprints at all."

"So I boldly infer that the footprints came from the water, and something in the water reached the dam."

Yang Ruoqing nodded, "Yes, it is indeed the footprints of something in the water."

Luo Fengtang continued to look and said, "Although they have transformed into human footprints, it can be distinguished from this series of messy footprints that it is not one person, but two people!"

Luo Fengtang took Yang Ruoqing's hand, and the two of them walked towards the dam, looking around as they walked.

"The footprints disappeared when they reached the dam."

"And in your dream last night, Qing'er, two people dressed as village women came to pick you up in a sedan chair..."

"so……"

Yang Ruoqing suddenly stood on tiptoe and covered Luo Fengtang's mouth: "The following words can only be understood but not expressed in words. Some things are true or false, so don't delve into them."

"Now that this matter has been confirmed, let's continue with what we should do next!"
