Chapter 26 The Terrible Xie Liangchen
Xie Liangchen felt really uncomfortable, gritted his teeth and turned around to leave.
"Hey? Xie Erlang, you don't want to ride in the car anymore?"
"Haha, don't you want to ride a horse with the Li family's wife?"
"It's just Li My wife can’t even sit on this horse.”
When the aunts around saw him like this, they exchanged glances with each other, their expressions switching back and forth between him and Jiang Nuanzhi ambiguously.
This made Xie Liangchen even more uncomfortable. The steps he was about to take stopped.
"Master, there is only one donkey cart going to town in this village. If we miss it, we will be late to go to the academy today. It's hard to explain to Master." Ah Fu chased after him and said.
Xie Liangchen could either leave or not leave at the moment.
Jiang Nuanzhi smiled and asked Li Junping to mount the horse, and said calmly: "Aunts, please don't joke. I lent the horse to Master Xie before. My Ping'er will also go there in a while. Academy, Master Xie returned it. Master Xie is thin-skinned, please be merciful."
"Either you are a kind-hearted girl. Your former master is still so protective. You are so affectionate."
As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed tacitly.
Xie Liangchen's face turned red, and it took him a while to hold back a sentence: "It's just nonsense, don't talk nonsense!"
Jiang Nunzhi was still magnanimous: "Xie's family is to me. Yes, I am willing to help you within my ability. I’m afraid my Dalang will be unhappy if you say anything more affectionate.” There has been no news for months, could he still come back?”
"That's right, I saw your house with bright lights yesterday, what happened?"
Jiang Nuanzhi said with a smile: "It's my Dalang who came back, and he was injured. No, I went to the town to hire a doctor, so I won’t chat with my aunts. "Oh, the eldest son of the Li family is back?"
"Yes, yes, you should go quickly."
"That's right, we can't delay this."
With that said, Jiang Nuanzhi got on the horse, patted the horse's butt, and went out.
When passing by Xie Liangchen, Jiang Nuanzhi nodded and rode quickly past Xie Liangchen without stopping.
"Master, now that she's gone, why don't we go back and take the car?"
Xie Liangchen pursed his lips and stared at Jiang Nuanzhi's back for a long time.
“Do you remember what she looked like the last two days?”
Ah Fu nodded and gritted his teeth: "I remember very clearly that she extorted my money, dared to contradict you, and even beat Chuntao, and..."
"That's not what I'm talking about." Xie Liangchen frowned: "She did it before She said that she could give me all the money from the elder brother of the Li family. She also said that she could sell all her children to buy me pens and ink. Now, looking at her behavior, is she completely different? Do you really want to live a good life?"
Afu nodded: "She did say that. Master, do you think her behavior is just for the purpose? Want you to look at her more?"
Xie Liangchen frowned, remembering Jiang Nuanzhi's frank look just now, and subconsciously shook his head: "It doesn't seem like it."
"Yes. It must be! I saw her staring at you just now. I think this trick is the same as that of the women in the house before, and she is quite smart."
Xie Liangchen frowned: "If she really thinks so, she has made the wrong decision."
"That's natural. What does she look like? How can she be worthy of you?" Fu said, looking relieved: "It's better now. The hunter in her family is back, and this big trouble has been thrown away. Although there is one less person to work in the family, Master, are you at peace after all?"
Xie Liangchen thought about the past two days and found that the days were indeed different.
There is no tea at the right temperature when I come back. There was no hot water ready for him to wash himself.
The quilts I used yesterday were all Ah Fu's. The smell wasn't that bad, but in the past, his quilts were always fresh and clean, with a warm smell from the sun. It was suddenly changed and I really didn’t get used to it. He braced himself for half the night, but in the second half of the night he couldn't bear it anymore and threw it aside.
When he woke up in the morning, the fire bed was no longer hot. When he got up, his head felt dizzy. Seems to be a bit cold.
Eating these past two days has been very unpleasant.
The more he thought about it, the worse he became, and he even sneezed twice.
"Hey? Master! Hurry! Uncle Niu's donkey cart is coming out."
Ah Fu didn't notice that he was feeling unwell at all, so he immediately called for someone. Xie Liangchen sucked in his stuffy nose and finally got on the donkey cart. There is no time to delay your studies.
But I didn’t expect that Jiang Fatya couldn’t escape in the car. These long-tongued women in the village all talk like fat girls.
“No wonder Jiang Fatty has changed her temper. It turns out that Dalang of the Li family is back.”
“Just say she is not so kind. I saw her at home yesterday. The child cooked meat and ate it, and it tasted delicious. It turned out that she was afraid that the Dalang of the Li family would scold her. "
"The Dalang of the Li family has been in trouble for so long, and she bought so much yesterday. I don’t know where the money came from.”
"When I went out, I saw that her dog was eating only corn porridge. He really didn't know how to live."
"The eldest son of the Li family is unlucky to marry such a person."< br>
“No wonder Xie Erlang looks down on her.”
“That’s right.”
“Tell me, how badly is Dalang of the Li family hurt?”
"Who knows, probably all his wealth has been spent by his prodigal wife, and he doesn't know whether he can despise the doctor or not." Thinking back to yesterday when Fatty Jiang said that all the money was spent on him, I always felt that these words were harsh. I couldn't bear the irritation and shouted: "Shut up! Fatty Jiang is telling me, are you annoyed? You can't say anything else." "
The aunts were shocked.
After a while, he whispered softly: "We are talking about Jiang Fatya, what does it have to do with him?"
"It is."
After all, the aunts didn't say anything, but their eyes on him were more intriguing.
Xie Liangchen could not sit still more and more. For the first time in his life, he felt that riding in an ox cart was so painful.
Uncle Niu who was driving the cart pouted, this boy is not as shameless as Jiang Yatou. The mentality is too different.
Jiang Nuanzhi and Li Junping were separated in the woods at the foot of the mountain.
Li Junping used to ride a horse to go to school by himself. He was more familiar with the town than Jiang Nuanzhi, so Jiang Nuanzhi was relieved to let him go.
I went into the mountains carrying a basket on my back.
Jiang Nuanzhi actually found blood stains on the road. He walked along the blood stains into the mountains, and the more he walked, the more shocking he became.
Along the way, some sharp stones even had flesh and blood hanging on them. Crows in twos and threes lay on the bloody road, chirping from time to time.
I don’t know how long it took him to crawl back.
Not far into the forest, I discovered pheasant droppings.
I walked around the area with a lot of feces for several times, but I didn't find pheasants, but I picked up pheasant eggs.
There are more than a dozen of them. She put a thick layer of dead grass under the basket, and then put all the wild eggs in it.
Walking further into the depths, I saw a lot of apricot trees on the road. No fruit in sight.
The mountains and forests in the North are full of treasures, such as walnut trees, pine trees, sorbet trees, hawthorn trees, and sand fruit trees. She saw almost all kinds of wild fruit trees along the way. However, if the season is not here, you won’t be able to pick up any fruit.
Even picking mushrooms is not in season.
On the way, I also encountered dried mint, red peony seeds and the like. Jiang Nuanzhi also picked them up, which was probably better than nothing.
After spending a long time in the woods, Jiang Nuanzhi only made a trap and returned home with the wild eggs.
She found wild boar excrement, so she used a large abandoned pit by another hunter to simply decorate it and try her luck.
When I came back, I passed by the Heishui River and saw many villagers on the river bank. Some were holding harpoons, some with dustpans, and some with backpacks. They were all obviously catching fish. Just looking at it, there is nothing to gain.
Jiang Nuanzhi went home without wasting time. It's still early, so I can go to town.
