Meal Sweet Home: Farm Lady

Chapter 11

Whenever you want to spend your days in a dull way, there are some people or things that float across the calm lake like the wind, causing waves of ripples, big and small, strong and weak.

Nan Yan, as usual, while doing housework every day, is also interested in researching food.The day before yesterday, the meticulously prepared Yangzhou Egg Fried Rice received Qi Yuhao's gentle "comments", which made her more confident in her cooking skills.

Before a small universe explodes, it always goes through a brewing process from germination to maturity.

In the early morning of this day, Qi Yuhao's actions were a little abnormal.His brows were always furrowed, and after a bland and hasty breakfast, he asked Nan Yan to help her tidy up some things before leaving with the white horse tied in front of the door.

"I'm going out of town for two or three days. You'd better stay at home these days and don't go out."

Qi Yuhao's simple instructions were also for Nan Yan's benefit.After all, she was a thin girl with such an eye-catching appearance. After the incident in the brothel, Qi Yuhao was almost speechless towards Nanyan.

Nan Yan wanted to go forward and ask Qi Yuhao what he was doing out of the city, but in the end he didn't ask, because Qi Yuhao wouldn't talk to her much at all, so why bother to mess with her.

Seeing Qi Yuhao's gloomy and locked expression, there must be something urgent.

Nan Yan watched as Qi Yuhao gradually disappeared from her field of vision on a white horse, and she was a little happy when she recovered.With Qi Yuhao gone, he won't have to wash his less dirty robes every day for the past few days, and he can spend more time studying food.

Just take it as a short vacation, Nan Yan thought happily.Aunt Zhang next door came over with a basket of beans, and asked Nan Yan to peel them together, and chatted to pass the mechanical hand movements.

Here, Nan Yan and Aunt Zhang were sitting around the stone table happily peeling beans, when suddenly there was an anxious cry from a distance, the footsteps were getting closer, and the call became clearer and clearer.

"It's terrible, it's terrible, something happened to the old man...it's terrible..."

Nan Yan was too familiar with that duck-like old woman's voice. She quickly stopped peeling beans and walked towards the periphery of the yard with a serious expression.

I saw that Mrs. Wang, who talked about "little coquettish fox" all day long, and her useless son Zhao Mingda, who was slightly limping, trot towards the place where Nan Yan lived, panting.

Seeing these two people, Nan Yan felt a "thump" in her heart, and then heard what they shouted, her heart felt a "thump" again...

At this moment, Wang Shi and Zhao Mingda were already standing in front of Nan Yan.Nan Yan took two steps back cautiously, keeping a certain distance from them.

"What happened? What's wrong with my father?" Nan Yan frowned, a shadow cast over her heart.

"You, you, you say..." Due to the exhaustion of trotting all the way, the obese Wang has no energy to speak anymore, pointing to Zhao Mingda, asking him to explain the whole story clearly.

Zhao Mingda wiped the bean-sized beads of sweat on his face with his dirty and shiny sleeve, and said hesitatingly: "Father, dad, something happened to him! Dad went early in the morning...to gather herbs on Shugang, no, I accidentally rolled off the post and couldn’t find it. The people who worked in the same village saw it and ran back to tell us.”

"Then where is my father now? Have you found it?" Nan Yan's heart tightened when she heard the sad news.After all, he is the father of this body, so there is no reason not to worry.

"No, a group of people from the village went up the mountain to look for it, but there is no news yet." Zhao Mingda said panting.

In addition to selling calligraphy and paintings for a living, old man Zhao Yi also has a good ability to cure snake poison.Except for Qi Yuhao who was lucky enough to be cured by her, many people in the village were cured of snake venom by him, and he did not charge a penny for the treatment, all of which were free of charge.

So although old man Zhao Yi is weak by nature and is bullied by his wife all day long, the villagers are very grateful to him and he is very popular.

"We are here to tell you that something happened to the old man, and the three of us should hurry up and look for it on the post!"

It was rare for Mrs. Wang not to scold "Little Sao Fox", and she said in an unusually peaceful tone. She must be really worried about her wife from the bottom of her heart, and she has no intention of making an enemy of Nan Yan at the moment.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? Go, go!" Nan Yan didn't have time to say hello to Aunt Wang in the courtyard, and she and Wang Shi and Zhao Mingda were about to rush to Shugang.

It is Sishi now, and it is said that Zhao Yimao had an accident on the post.

"Yanwazi, Yanwazi!" Aunt Zhang hurriedly stood up from the stone bench, trotted to Nanyan, took her arm, and whispered behind Wang Shi and Zhao Mingda's back, "Yanwazi, Brother Yuhao is coming! Before you leave, please tell my aunt to watch over you and nothing will happen to you. Especially please tell me not to let you go with these two people."

Nanyan turned her head to look at Wang and Zhao Mingda, who were standing aside with anxious faces, and then looked at Aunt Zhang, "Auntie, something happened to my father. He went to Shugang early in the morning to gather medicine and fell under the teeth of the gang. I didn't find it either. Auntie, don't worry, I will go to the post to find my father, and nothing will happen."

Aunt Zhang wanted to persuade her again, but Nan Yan followed Wang's mother and son to the direction of West Lake Village without stopping.

Just after crossing a wide river with no shore, they walked into a small mountain, which is the so-called Shugang.Due to the heavy rain just last night, the road was very bumpy and muddy.

Winding forward in this deep valley with no residents, the sky is so gloomy that it looks like it will fall at any time, and sometimes hearing the mournful chirping of grain birds really makes people feel a little creepy and sweat pores tighten.

"Didn't you say that a group of people from the village came to Shugang to look for someone? Why did they walk for so long without a single person?" Nan Yan asked suspiciously, rubbing the sweat off her forehead with one hand.

"I must have found the other side of the post." Wang Shi dragged her fat body and replied panting.

Although Nan Yan was anxious, she was somewhat wary when she was with these two people.

As we walked deeper and deeper, the hillock became quieter and quieter, only the sound of stepping on the muddy path was heard, and a few sad birds chirped from time to time, which was scary.

At this time, Nan Yan suddenly felt dizzy, and the intertwined and chaotic memories kept circling in her mind.

"No, this is not the way my father used to go to work to collect medicine." It turned out that Nan Yan just felt the memory before this body crossed. At that time, Nan Yan followed her father to go up the mountain to collect medicine several times.

"Mother, she found out!" Zhao Mingda yelled when he knew that the matter had been revealed, and it seemed that this yell was not just for the Wang family in front.

Nan Yan suddenly realized, and immediately stopped her pace and continued to move forward, "Okay, you mother and son who are in a mess are really trying to lie to me."

Mrs. Wang quickly turned her head and yelled at Zhao Mingda, "Mingda, hurry up and tie her up for my old lady. I finally got here, don't let the cooked duck fly away!"

Zhao Mingda got the order, quickly took out a handful of hemp rope from his clothes, turned around and was about to spread it over to Nan Yan.Unexpectedly, the big rock that was about to soak in the muddy water under his feet tripped his left foot impartially, and fell him firmly to the ground, and a dog ate the mud.

Seeing this, Nan Yan knew that if she followed this vicious mother and son, something bad would happen.

"You two wolf-hearted mother and son, I, Nan Yan, have nothing to do with you, why do you still treat me like this? I will keep this account for you today, and I will settle it with you in the future!"

Nan Yan's heart was full of anger, in this gloomy and lifeless valley, she was even more afraid.

Just when she turned around and wanted to go back, Wang Shi chased after her desperately and threw herself at Nan Yan from behind.

"Little Sao Fox, want to run away? There is no way! My old lady managed to trick you into this deep mountain hill today."

The sudden weight on her back made Nan Yan unable to hold back for a moment, she fell backward together with the two of Wang's.There happened to be a big smooth blue-black rock behind her, and Nan Yan pressed on Wang's body and fell on top.

"Hey, I'm so hurt!"

Nan Yan herself was not heavy, it was because Wang's body was too heavy, and when she fell down, she hurt her old waist.

Taking advantage of Wang's holding back her hands to support her old waist, Nan Yan quickly turned around, with her legs spread out, and she was riding on the old sow Wang.

"I let you bully me. Ever since you were a child, you thought I was easy to bully, right? Your son is a human being, so am I not human? Let me tell you, don't treat me as soft and weak as before, and let you bully me." That Nan Yan. I know how to jump over the wall when I'm in a hurry, let alone I am a person with a brain and ideas."

Saying that, Nan Yan punched Wang's forehead with her fist, her delicate face flushed with anger.

Wang didn't have time to dodge this powerful punch, and covered her head with an "ouch".

These days, Nan Yan never lived the days of not being full one meal and starving the next. As long as Qi Yuhao has a bite to eat, she will never be hungry.Gradually, Nan Yan's thin body, which looked like firewood, gradually became stronger, and her limbs also gained strength.

Nan Yan still couldn't let go of her hatred, so she pulled Wang's greasy hair with both hands, making her a mess.

"It's terrible, Xiao Sao's fox has turned against me and dared to hit me!" Although Wang was wailed in pain by Nan Yan, she was not to be outdone and grabbed Nan Yan's hair with her backhand, and the two lay on the big rock Go up and fight together.

Nan Yan kicked her, and she pushed her knee against her.Nan Yan punched Wang in the face, and she strangled her neck...

Wang's hands-on quarrels are well-known in Shugang Village, so far no one can match her.Although Nan Yan knew that she was not her opponent, she still used all her strength to fight.

She really hated this old woman so much, whether it was for herself or for the skin of the old master, she would do her best to discourage her, even if she was the one who suffered in the end.

"Stop hitting, stop hitting! Sao Fox, how dare you hit my mother!" Zhao Mingda, who was tripped by a rock and ate shit, wiped the stinky mud from his mouth, and got up to get up and put a rope on Nan Yan's back. In the past, "Come on, come on! The girls brought you here, where are you?"

Zhao Mingda used a rope to trap Nan Yan, and then shouted in all directions.

All of a sudden, there was a sound coming from the woods in Gangu, and the sound became louder and more urgent, and it was coming towards them.
