Chapter 2023: Slag Elimination (1)

Seeing her sad expression, I knew she must be remembering some sad past, so I interrupted her thoughts and said, "I'll go find something to eat. You can find some firewood nearby and save it for later." "

After hearing what I said, Yanran retracted her thoughts and got up to collect firewood.

The location we were in was not a mountain or a forest, but a meadow. There was no prey nearby. I got on my horse and ran for two or three miles. When I came across a large field of crops, I dug a few holes in it. A white potato, a few sweet potatoes, and a few ears of tender corn.

Finally, I left some scraps of silver in the place where I dug white and sweet potatoes and broke corn, which I used to buy other people's things.

When we returned, Aunt Zhang, the coachman and Yanran's younger brother had all woken up. Some of them were tying up the carriage, and some were helping Yanran collect firewood. The little boy was squatting by the stream watching the fish.

Seeing that I was back, Yanran came over and took the things from my hands.

I got off my horse, took my sword and dug a hole where the bonfire was made yesterday, buried the sweet potatoes, white potatoes and corn I had bought in the hole, and lit it on top with the firewood picked up by Yan Ran.

Yanran watched my movements from the side and said curiously: "Why don't you bake these foods on the fire instead of burying them in the ground?"

Although she has a mature mind and a steady demeanor, she knows nothing about the common sense of life in the wild. Only at this time can she show an expression consistent with her age and look at me with a puzzled look on her face, her big eyes full of Curious.

I explained the reason to her in detail. I don’t know why, but I am always incredibly patient in front of her. Since I was a child, my parents have said that I am a cold-tempered person. For a long time, I think so myself, but now, I feel like I don’t have a cold temperament, I’m just cold on the outside and hot on the inside.

After the food was baked, the fire was put out, the earth was dug up, and the food was dug out. A fragrant aroma immediately emitted. When it was in their mouths, everyone said it was delicious. This little trick earned Yan Ran a look of admiration, which made me feel a little proud!

After dinner, we got in the car and continued towards Nong'an. We walked slowly and stopped all the way until we arrived at Nong'an County at noon.

Nong'an County is a small county that is rich and beautiful and is located near the sea. After arriving, I found out the location of the Shen family and rushed there without stopping.

When we arrived at Shen's house, Sister Juhua was very happy to see my sudden visit. She kept asking me questions and complained that I wish I had come a day earlier. My eldest sister and brother-in-law just left last night...

I said regret in my mouth, but I was a little happy in my heart. If my sister was still here and saw me helping Yanran like this, she would definitely make a big fuss about this matter. I don't want Yanran to misunderstand me and think that I have something. Tucai helped her.

The Shen family was also extremely hospitable to us. Aunt Cui was busy asking the servants to prepare meals and clean the room for us to rest, while my uncle talked to me enthusiastically.

Sister Juhua’s husband is named Dai Xiangchen, and he also sat with me for a while. He is a tall, fat man with a cheerful temperament and humorous speech. This man looks very much like one of my sister’s former confidant eunuchs. However, I heard that the eunuch was I was killed many years ago when I was doing business abroad, otherwise I would really regard them as the same person.

While talking, I introduced Yanran to Sister Juhua and entrusted them to take care of her.

Sister Juhua is a warm-hearted woman. She readily agreed and asked someone to take Juhua's younger brother out to play with her buns.
