Chapter 36 Niuniu
The village chief obviously heard it too. He sighed and frowned, "What a sin, this must be the daughter of Wang Sheng's family who is crying. Wang Sheng and his wife, let's go and have a look."
The village chief shook his head and didn't say much, and Huo Manshu didn't ask any further questions. She just followed the village chief through the door.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw the little girl sitting by the well in the corner of the yard.
The little girl was young and had braids. When she saw the people coming, she wiped her tears and stood up from the well. Her voice was slightly nasal, "Grandpa, village chief, who are they?"
"Niuniu, this is a distinguished guest. Go and ask your dad to come out. These people are staying at your house today."
When the village chief saw Niu Niu, he already knew what was going on in Wang Sheng's family. When he saw Niu Niu entering the house, he explained to Huo Manshu in a low voice: "Master Witch, Niu Niu's father likes gambling. It is probably because of this young couple that they quarreled again. Children I hid outside when I couldn’t bear it.”
As he said that, he sighed heavily: "It's really a sin, it's a pain for the child."
She couldn't understand if Huo Manshu didn't express his opinion.
But just because she doesn't speak doesn't mean others don't speak.
The village chief's words seemed to stimulate Bai Keke. She looked excited and said in a high voice: "How can there be such parents who don't set a good example for their children since they were young? What a shadow will be left on the children's hearts, and they don't know how to educate them." Don’t have children!”
Huo Manshu turned her head and glanced at the emotional Bai Keke, thoughtfully.
Mu Qing, who was beside Bai Keke, also felt that Bai Keke's reaction was too big, so she quietly pulled her sleeve.
"I'm not wrong!"
Bai Keke didn't appreciate it, "Mu Qing, you have never experienced such a thing, you are not qualified to persuade me!"
Because of Bai Keke's words, Mu Qing looked embarrassed and aggrieved. Being humiliated by a good friend was not something worth showing off.
She also said angrily: "That's up to you!"
Fortunately, Wang Sheng came out in time and the two stopped arguing.
Huo Manshu saw that Wang Sheng was just a normal person.
He came over with a smile on his face, and it didn't look like he had just had a quarrel.
"Village Chief, is this a distinguished guest who is helping our village?"
Wang Sheng was still a hospitable person. After greeting the village chief, he looked at Huo Manshu and the others: "My mother-in-law just prepared the meal. Have you not eaten yet? Let's have some together."
With that said, two more people walked out of the house, Niu Niu and a gentle-looking woman.
The woman also responded: "Yes, I just made a meal. Let's eat some together."
Everyone felt a little embarrassed. They had just heard from the village chief that the two people in front of them had quarreled, and now they wanted to eat with them. They didn't want to think about it because they were afraid of indigestion.
On the other hand, Huo Manshu, who was planning to go to sleep, responded without hesitation after hearing Wang Sheng's words: "Then I'll excuse you."
As he spoke, he turned to look at Qu Lian: "If you don't want to eat, don't worry about me and just go to the room."
Qu Lian smiled while doing Tai Chi: "I happen to be hungry. Don't worry, the farm food is very delicious. Man Shu, let's eat together."
After saying that, he sat directly on the bench in the courtyard, and patted the bench next to him with a smile to signal Hao Manshu to sit down.
Others who originally planned to go to bed did not dare to sleep after thinking about it, and all agreed to eat first.
When the village chief saw that everyone wanted to eat, he did not stay: "My mother-in-law at home has also prepared food, and I have gone back. Wang Sheng, you are so kind to entertain these people."
After the village chief left, Wang Sheng and his wife started busy preparing things.
When Huo Manshu sat at the dining table, she always felt that a line of sight was staring at her.
Following her feeling, she looked over and saw Wang Sheng's daughter Niuniu hiding behind the door frame and peeking at her.
After being caught, he quickly ran into the kitchen.
After a while, he ran out again, holding a cup of tea in his hand.
Niuniu timidly put the tea into Huo Manshu's hand, and saw that Huo Manshu did not refuse and skipped away. "It's better not to drink this tea, it may not be a good thing."
Qu Lian saw Huo Manshu wanting to drink and couldn't help but stop her.
It is still very dangerous to be treated differently in the game. It is not clear whether it is an opportunity or a crisis.
Huo Manshu paused, thought about it, and then put down the cup.
Looking at the people around her who were looking at the tea cup eagerly, she raised the cup and handed it to everyone: "Does anyone want to drink?"
Wang Shuo was actually very moved, but he was also afraid that what Qu Lian said would come true.
His eyes flickered and he took the cup.
"You are all cowards! Our team will drink this cup of tea!"
As he spoke, he lowered his head and took a sip, then handed it to the person next to him.
The people in the team passed it on one after another.
The last person was the wizard that Homanshu met. To be honest, Homanshu still didn’t know his name.
The man raised his head and drank all the remaining tea.
Huo Manshu heard Qu Lian laugh next to her.
Turning to look at him, he saw Qu Lian looking at the man with interest. He noticed Huo Manshu's gaze and motioned for her to look at him too.
Huo Manshu turned her head and found that the last person suddenly had bruises on his face. It was just a spot at first, but later it slowly spread to the entire face, from the face to the neck, and then to the whole body.
Immediately afterwards, the man gasped sharply, pinched his neck and fell backwards to the ground in pain.
After a while, there was no sound.
The corpse also turned into a puddle of water in front of everyone, emitting an unpleasant stench.
Huo Manshu was a little surprised, but when her eyes glanced at the happy expressions of the other members of Wang Shuo's group, she suddenly understood everything.
Because of the sudden death of this person, the scene was completely silent.
At this time, Wang Sheng's family of three came over with food.
It was strange to see one person missing: "Did that person go back to sleep first?"
At this time, the unpleasant smell from the corpse had long since dissipated. Wang Sheng looked around twice without finding anyone.
"He's dead! Killed by your daughter's cup of tea!"
Wang Shuo's words were almost squeezed out from between his teeth.
If he hadn't been in shock and looked at the harmless Niu Niu standing next to him, he would have overturned the dining table.
Who would have thought, he was afraid, Wang Sheng was even more frightened, the plate he was holding fell to the ground and shattered: "This is the devil asking for life! It is the devil coming to ask for life!"
With that said, he dropped what he was doing and ran into the house to hide.
Wang Sheng's wife was not very afraid. Instead, she explained to everyone while cleaning up the mess: "Such things happened in the village before. Wang Sheng was afraid. This has nothing to do with us Niuniu."
After cleaning up, everyone can eat more without the burden.
But everyone lost their appetite.
Except for Huo Manshu and Qu Lian, everyone else found excuses to rest.
Huo Manshu's appetite increased as she looked at the pork stewed with vermicelli and potatoes stewed with beef in front of her. Although a person had just died, she still ate two bowls of rice without any scruples.
Niu Niu and Wang Sheng's wife didn't come to the table. There were only two people at the table, Huo Manshu and Qu Lian. Huo Manshu didn't have any scruples and asked, "Have you seen it a long time ago?"
