One two one, one two one, one two one...
……
"Get some rest. I'm going to buy some groceries and I'll cook you something delicious tonight."
Yuan Hua dried himself off with a towel, picked up his clothes from the floor, and quickly put them on.
"Okay, be careful on the road, we'll be waiting for you at home."
Lilan smiled knowingly.
"By the way, remember to feed Panda, I've been feeding him these past two days."
"I know that these past two days when I've been feeding it, it's already full."
Yuan Hua took out ten gold coins from his pocket and placed them on the table.
"Don't be stingy with food. I have plenty of money. There's no need for me to live a miserable life. As for clothes, I have better ones. You don't need to buy any. I'll send them to you later."
“We can’t afford to spend that much money.”
Lilan shook her head slightly.
"There's not much to spend money on in the village, and we can't eat that much. One gold coin is enough to live comfortably for more than half a year."
"It's alright, keep it safe. Keep this money for emergencies."
Yuan Hua had no intention of taking it back; he was never stingy with his own people.
"Alright, then I'll accept it."
Left with no other choice, Lilan gladly accepted Yuan Hua's offer.
"Come on, give me a kiss, and then I'll go buy some fresh ingredients. Hopefully, there are still butcher shops selling beef open at this time."
“mua————”
……
"Whew... I feel so light..."
As Yuan Hua walked down the street, he stretched his body...
"Hey you, wait a minute."
He heard a call from behind, and Yuan Hua paused, turned around, and saw a middle-aged man leading a horse slowly walking towards him.
"Excuse me, may I ask...?"
Chapter 69 Coincidence
"Excuse me, could you tell me how to get to Finrick's Manor?"
The middle-aged man bowed slightly, his attitude fairly polite.
"Fenrick's estate has been razed to the ground."
Yuan Hua told the truth directly.
"What do you mean?"
The middle-aged man was shocked.
"It means exactly what it says. A few nights ago, there was a huge explosion in the village, and the explosion site was Finrick's manor."
Yuan Hua pointed to the hilltop not far away.
"That's where Finrick got his manor. You can go and see for yourself. As for what happened, you'll have to ask the village chief."
Yuan Hua pointed to another path.
"Just keep walking along this road, and you'll soon reach the village chief's house. As for which house it is, just ask anyone nearby, and they'll tell you."
"Thank you, you're such a kind person."
The middle-aged man nodded gratefully.
"Just kidding."
Yuan Hua waved his hand.
"I won't bother you anymore, goodbye."
The middle-aged man nodded, then led his horse into the village.
"..."
Yuan Hua watched them go for a while, then walked towards the market.
"What's wrong? You seem preoccupied."
The sound of ascension appeared in Yuan Hua's mind.
"I wouldn't say I'm burdened with worries."
Yuan Hua shook his head.
"Just thinking..."
"Spit it out, stop playing the riddle-maker."
Ascension is always full of profanity...
"Give me some time to sort this out."
Yuan Hua plopped down on a roadside rock.
Did you notice the horse that person was leading?
"I noticed."
“I’ve seen that horse’s saddle in town. It’s a saddle exclusive to noble cavalry. They came to Fenrique just to buy wine. Judging from the amount of compensation Yongtai paid, it shows that the demand for red wine is quite high.”
Yuan Hua pursed his lips and pondered for a moment...
"Go back to the prison later and ask Gran what happened. If it was a banquet or something, we should at least arrest two rich girls and take them back."
……
“Village chief, I am a private guard of the Shandrila family. My name is Licha. I have come here because of the Fenrick family. On my way here, I heard from the villagers that the Fenrick family was razed to the ground by an explosion. Is that true?”
After tying up the horse, Li Cha arrived in front of Old Jess.
"That's true."
Old Jess was starting to have a headache. Fortunately, Yongtai had left 150 gold coins as compensation. If the noble lord didn't pursue the matter, the money would be returned to Yongtai afterward. If the noble lord was someone who wouldn't stand for a loss and insisted on involving the entire village, then the 150 gold coins would have to be paid as a penalty for breach of contract.
"Has the murderer been caught?"
Interest rate differential frowned. The trouble seemed a bit big, but it wasn't unacceptable.
If the merchant is gone, then we'll just find another one, but the deposit has already been paid. How could the young lady just accept her bad luck? The problem is, the Fenrick family line has ended, so there's nowhere to get compensation now.
"I need to go back and inform the young lady about this. I'll come back tomorrow."
After discussing the interest rate differential, he turned and left.
"Walk slowly."
……
"It's fortunate that beef is still available at this time."
Yuan Hua was carrying a vegetable basket on her way home when she bumped into Li Cha, who had a gloomy face.
"Hey, uncle, aren't you staying in the village for a few more days? Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
"Haha, I don't have time."
Li Cha smiled wryly. If he could, he would also like to retire in this peaceful village.
"If I have the time, I will definitely find an opportunity to come and live here permanently."
"Alright, Dinglan Village welcomes you."
Yuan Hua didn't know what to talk about with him, so he just gave him a perfunctory reply.
"Let's go!"
……
"It hurts so much, I can't even walk steadily."
Lilan, holding onto the handrail, descended the stairs, her steps trembling and her body shaking uncontrollably...
"I'll bring it up to you in a bit, why come down?"
Yuan Hua quickly stepped forward to help him up.
"I want to take a shower."
Lilan touched her belly; it felt a little bloated, so it seemed she was full.
"Sister, your legs are shaking even more than the old lady at the village entrance."
Katyusha's legs were still a little weak, but not to the point of being like that; she had already managed to get used to it.
"I'll carry you."
Yuan Hua picked up Li Lan, and spring light suddenly appeared. White dewdrops still lingered on the black forest, which was muddy and filthy. There were still traces of blood on her legs. The delicate garden gate was now red and swollen, and bulged high.
Why didn't you say so earlier? I thought you could handle it.
Yuan Hua carried Li Lan into the bathroom and settled her in the bathtub.
"I'll go and cook the rest of the vegetables first. You can soak them for a while."
Yuan Hua pressed the water outlet control button on the side and then left the bathroom.
"I thought you would shower with your sister."
Katyusha lifted the lid of the meal and picked up the chicken leg with her hand.
"Don't eat it all. Just eat one or two pieces. I have no problem with that, but your sister will scold you again later."
Yuan Hua took out a bowl and chopsticks from the drawer and placed them on the table.
