Chapter 2 Young Madam, she is so cruel
Shitou blushed and defended in a low voice, "It wasn't like this five years ago."
"You also know that was five years ago." Shang Wan helplessly raised her head. If she had known that it was such a "feng shui treasure", she should have found a rich guy to rob the rich and give to the poor when she was in the city.
"I'm going to the cellar to have a look." Shitou hurried towards the cellar as if he was running away.
Xiaohuan pushed the little baby with a flat mouth and was about to cry into Shang Wan's arms, "Young madam, please coax the young lady, and I will go to the kitchen to take a look."
Yuanyuan stayed in Cheap Mother's arms and didn't need to be coaxed at all. She obediently sucked her fleshy fingers and smiled at Shang Wan with her big eyes bent.
Shang Wan poked her chubby little face while thinking about where to get some food later.
Even if the three adults could go hungry, the little Milkman couldn't.
"Ah! Rat!" Xiaohuan screamed and ran out of the kitchen, holding a broken pot lid in his hand.
When Shang Wan looked over, she said with a grimace: "Young madam, the rice vat has turned into a rat's nest. There is no food in the kitchen."
Shang Wan was not surprised. It was strange that there was food in the kitchen of such a dilapidated house. Even if there was, no one was guarding the house, and it would have been taken away by someone who was interested.
Stone also came up from the cellar, with a gloomy look on his face, "The cellar is full of the descendants of rats."
As he spoke, he shook his trouser legs. A little mouse fell off and ran away with a squeak. Shang Wan stepped on it.
Xiaohuan was so frightened that he stepped back repeatedly.
Shang Wan stared at the struggling little mouse at his feet for a while. With a little effort, the little mouse passed away.
She raised her head and looked at the two of them with bright eyes, "Let's roast the mice and eat them. It's just enough to feed the whole nest."
This is all meat!
Both people: "..."
Are you a devil?
"Young madam, you can't eat mice." Xiao Huan was so frightened that she almost cried and didn't dare to look at Shang Wan's feet.
Shitou also said: "The young master said that eating rat meat will make you sick."
Shang Wan secretly clicked his tongue, looking at these two people, he was not hungry at all. There is a lack of food in the apocalypse, so hungry that even mutant beasts can catch and take a bite.
Seeing that the two of them were extremely reluctant, Shang Wan did not insist. He kicked the dead mouse into the weeds, pulled out the only silver hairpin in his hair and handed it to Shitou, "Take it and exchange it with the villagers for some food."
"Young lady, no!" Xiaohuan stopped her, "This is a token of love given to you by the young master. How can you exchange it for food?"
"You're almost starving to death. What do you care about?" Shang Wan urged Shitou to go quickly, and specifically ordered him to bring back some rice and cook some porridge for Yuanyuan later.
Even though he had never raised a child, Shang Wan knew that the baby in his arms, which had just two baby teeth, needed to eat something soft.
Shitou looked at Shang Wan several times before holding the silver hairpin and leaving with a complex expression.
Xiaohuan took out a pile of dry firewood from the kitchen, used hay to light the fire, and the fire illuminated the yard.
She wiped the square stool in the main room and brought it out, and said to Shang Wan: "It's cold in the spring night. Young Madam, you are weak. First, hold the young lady to warm yourself over the fire. Be careful not to freeze. The servant will clean up the kitchen first. After a while, the stone Get some food in exchange for cooking."
Seeing Xiaohuan rushing in and out alone, Shang Wan put the swaddling clothes on the square stool, glanced at the wild grass in the yard that was half a person tall, and moved the square stool farther away from the fire and closer to the kitchen.
She reached out and patted the swaddle, "Play by yourself for a while, go to sleep when you feel sleepy, don't cry." Yuanyuan blinked her big eyes, and smiled at Shang Wan as if she understood.
"So good." Shang Wan lowered his head and kissed her little face, then stood up and walked to the kitchen, taking out two wooden buckets, one large and one small.
There is a well in the corner of the yard next to the kitchen. The well is full of water. You can fetch the water by bending down with a bucket.
Shang Wan knelt down and filled a large bucket of water, holding it steadily with one hand as he walked towards the kitchen.
Xiaohuan looked up and saw his eyes widened in shock, and hurriedly went to meet him, "Young lady, please put it down quickly and dodge your waist carefully."
How could my young lady do such a rough job as fetching water with a body that could easily collapse in the wind?
"It's not heavy." Shang Wan avoided her outstretched hand, put the bucket on the stove, soaked it with a rag, and helped scrub the kitchen.
Xiaohuan pinched herself hard, and tears came to her eyes from the pain.
Darling, what kind of divine manifestation is this? The young lady actually takes the initiative to help her with her work.
The two of them were busy in the kitchen. In the yard, the infant baby sucked its little fleshy hands with relish, making vague uninvited babbling sounds from time to time. Its big, watery eyes looked at the moon in the sky, blinking and blinking. .
A rustling sound came from the wild grass half a man tall. A piebald snake, as thick as an adult's arm, hissed and spat out a snake message. Under the cover of the wild grass, it meandered towards the square bench.
Shitou exchanged the silver hairpin with the villagers for a jar of oil, half a catty of salt, three catties of rice, two catties of noodles, five eggs, a catty of meat and some vegetables grown by the villagers. Because there were so many things that it was difficult to carry, I even borrowed a backpack.
He came back with his things on his back, and as soon as he walked into the courtyard, he saw a two-meter-long piebald snake crawling to the foot of the square stool, hissing and spitting out snake messages, raising its triangular snake head and trying to climb up the stool leg. climb.
He was so frightened that his eyes were splitting, and he screamed in surprise, but the spotted snake seemed to be hit by some huge force. It flipped several times in the air and rolled down three steps away from him. A wooden stick only as thick as a little finger penetrated through it. Snake head, nail it firmly to the ground.
The snake's tail, which was more than two meters long, kept twisting and swaying, and it didn't make any sound for a long while.
"You came back just in time, I'll leave it to you, I'll add some dishes later." Shang Wan stood by the kitchen window, holding a wooden stick similar to the one stuck in the snake's head between his white fingers.
In fact, just when she kicked the mouse to death, she discovered the piebald snake hiding in the weeds.
Originally, she thought that with the price of goods in this world, Stone could exchange some silver hairpins for some meat, and she was not in a hurry to kill snakes for meat. She also deliberately moved the square stool closer to the kitchen. Who would have thought that the pied snake was in such a hurry to die, so she had no choice but to eat a roasted snake.
Shitou looked at the spotted snake, then at Shang Wan, then at Shang Wan, then at the spotted snake, with a pale face. His Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he swallowed hard.
Master, Madam, she is so cruel now!
While Shitou was dealing with the spotted snake, Xiaohuan started washing vegetables and cooking.
Shang Wan's cooking skills are poor, so he won't help in the kitchen.
Under Yuan Yuan's babbling greetings, she went out to play with her cheap girl, throwing her up and over the roof. Xiao Huan, who occasionally glanced outside, was frightened, fearing that Shang Wan would accidentally catch Yuan Yuan. The circle fell out for good or bad.
But the little one in swaddling clothes was not afraid at all. He was giggling happily and drooling uncontrollably.
Listening to the laughter of the little milk baby, Shang Wan consciously mastered the skills of getting along with the cub. He even threw the baby in a trick, and came up with a manual version of a roller coaster.
Xiao Huan was so frightened that she couldn't hold back and stopped her. Only then did one, one and one child regretfully stop the tossing game and wait for the meal to begin.
