Chapter 11 Housekeeping and Nursing Home
"Old, old, old... Oh my God! Wolf!" Shitou looked at the gray wolf falling from the sky, saw the pair of green beast eyes, and sat down on the ground in fright.
"What are you afraid of? I won't bite you." Shang Wan patted the gray wolf on the head. The gray wolf twitched its ears, walked towards the stone, got close to him and smelled his scent.
Shitou held his breath subconsciously.
Darling, this is a wolf, a wolf that can eat people! Being so close to him, if I give him a bite...
Shi Shi broke into a cold sweat instantly.
But his worry was obviously in vain. The gray wolf turned away after remembering his smell, looking quite disgusted.
Stone:"……"
"Dog!" Yuanyuan was hugged by Xiao Huan, her eyes were bright, and she stretched out her short arms to touch the wolf.
Xiaohuan quickly grabbed her hand and stopped her from moving.
The gray wolf circled around the two of them, its black nose twitched for a moment, and then raised its head. Its green eyes were precisely focused on the excited round child, and a low whine came out of its throat.
Xiaohuan was so frightened that his body froze, staring at the gray wolf without moving, "M-Mrs., what's wrong with it?"
Shang Wan said: "Put Yuanyuan down and let Xiao Hui smell it."
"Oh." Xiaohuan tentatively put Yuanyuan on the ground, and the gray wolf came over and sniffed Yuanyuan's body.
The little kid Yuanyuan seized the opportunity and accurately poked the gray wolf's nose with his short fingers. The stimulation caused the gray wolf to sneeze and reveal a mouthful of white fangs.
"Dog." Not only was Yuanyuan not afraid, she clapped her little hands happily, eager to touch the wolf's fangs.
Xiaohuan quickly picked her up.
Ancestor, this is a wolf, not a dog! Your small body is only enough for him to take two bites.
"Xiao Huan, you will make a nest for Xiao Hui later. The food will be prepared the next day. He will go hunting by himself." Shang Wan came over and took Yuanyuan, and put the little one on the gray wolf's back, "From now on, Xiao Hui will take over Let’s take care of the home.”
Xiaohuan: "..."
Can she say no? She doesn’t want to raise a wolf!
"Young lady, I heard that this slave is not familiar with raising wolves."
"The ones I brought back will naturally be well-raised." Shang Wan waved his hand, "You and Shitou should learn from Yuanyuan and treat Little Hui like a big dog."
The two of them simultaneously looked at Yuanyuan, who was lying on the wolf's back excitedly, letting the gray wolf carry her around in circles in the yard. They thought, can that compare? Yuanyuan doesn’t know the wolf, but they know each other!
Shitou carefully avoided the gray wolf's path, came over and asked, "Young madam, how did you tame this wolf?"
"It's simple, a big stick and sweet dates, it's almost like training a dog." Shang Wan glanced at him sideways, "You want to try it too?"
"No, no, no..." Shitou shook his head like a rattle and quickly put away his curiosity.
Shang Wan looked at his frightened look and thought that he was too timid and had to find opportunities to practice.
Shitou suddenly sneezed, rubbed his nose and muttered, "The young master must be thinking about me."
As he spoke, he glanced at Shang Wan and asked in a low voice: "Young madam, how do you plan to save the young master? Please tell me if I can be of use."
This guy actually has confidence in her.
Shang Wan waved his hand, "You don't have to worry about rescuing people. I asked you to inquire about the news in the village. Did you hear anything useful?"
"They are all trivial things." Shitou said, "But I heard that there is a mason in the village, surnamed Zhang. It is a craft passed down from generation to generation. The work is fine and the wages are lower than the masons in the city. The houses of the villagers If anything goes wrong, look for him.”
"Then let's find him too." Shang Wan said, "You can go there as soon as you are ready. After discussing the price, we can start the work. Demolish what needs to be demolished and mend what needs to be repaired. You can help by helping us. It is convenient if we all live in the same village. , get the house done as soon as possible.”
"Okay." Shitou nodded in agreement. Shang Wan continued: "I have to go to the city. I may come back at some time in the evening. You don't have to wait for me to have dinner."
Just as the gray wolf ran over carrying Yuanyuan, Shang Wan touched the wolf's head, stretched out his hand to lift Yuanyuan down, and kissed her soft and tender face, "Listen to Xiaohuan and Shitou, I will do it." Come back when you're done."
"Don't leave." Yuanyuan's originally smiling face immediately fell down, and her little hands reluctantly hugged Shang Wan's neck, rubbing it again and again.
Shang Wan tried to reason with his son, "If I don't leave, Yuanyuan will have no father."
"Daddy?" Yuanyuan blinked her big eyes filled with tears and her small mouth was flat, "I want daddy."
"Be good." Shang Wan pinched her cheeks and handed her over to Xiao Huan. Under the worried and reluctant eyes of the big one and the little one, she disappeared in a flash.
Shitou couldn't help but sigh, "When will I be able to have such good skills as the young lady?"
Xiaohuan: "In a dream."
Shitou Shale: "It's okay to have fun in a dream."
When Shang Wan entered the city, she found that the number of guards at the city gate had doubled, and people who were leaving the city were checked very carefully. Without her needing to inquire, the news that the Lu family was stolen last night spread throughout the city.
It is said that the thief has not left the city yet, and the government officials are searching around the city, paying special attention to unfamiliar faces, and want to find the thief as soon as possible.
Shang Thief Wan swaggered down the street and passed by a group of government officials.
Li Wenhua died while in office and had to remain in mourning at the county government office for seven days.
Shang Wan was invited in as a commoner who came to express condolences, and a stick of incense was placed in front of the soul.
There was a lot of crying in the royal hall, and a young woman wearing sackcloth and mourning was so sad that she fainted from crying.
The servants of the Li family called to the young lady one after another and helped the person down anxiously.
Shang Wan raised her eyebrows secretly. Whether she was really dizzy or fake could not be hidden from her eyes. The woman was clearly pretending to be dizzy.
However, it has nothing to do with her whether they are pretending to be faint or not. She is just here to see Tian Sheng.
The original owner once met Tian Sheng from a distance at a banquet hosted by the Lu family.
Tian Sheng is of medium height, with a round face, thick eyebrows, a hooked nose, and two mustaches on his lips. He is relatively easy to recognize.
Shang Wan avoided people all the way and searched the front yard of the county government office inside and outside, but found no trace of Tian Sheng.
She clearly heard the yamen servant at the door say that Tian Sheng was processing official documents in the county yamen, where was the person?
Shang Wan frowned, thought for a moment, then walked quickly to the backyard.
The Li family is still living in the backyard of the county government office for the time being. Because of the funeral, most of the servants have been transferred to the front, and there are not many people in the backyard.
Two maids came towards them. Shang Wan hid behind the rockery to escape. Just as he was about to come out, his ears suddenly heard something unusual.
A flash of surprise flashed in her eyes.
There is still a funeral being held in the front yard. Isn't that what you would do at someone else's funeral, so unceremonious?
Because of his damn curiosity, Shang Wan followed the sound and looked for it.
Not far away, in a small courtyard adjacent to the garden, there was a young man standing at the door looking out for the wind, his shoulders hunched as if he were a thief.
Shang Wan jumped in from the side wall lightly, like a cat, and landed silently.
The people in the house were making firewood and couldn't hold back their voices.
She really heard it right.
Having satisfied his curiosity, Shang Wan rubbed his ears expressionlessly and raised his feet to leave, when he suddenly heard a female voice in the room shout two words emotionally.
