- After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields
- Chapter 614 - Night Cat Village
This is a small village located in the middle of three mountains. It enters from the fork of the official road and winds up all the way. After reaching the top of the slope, it winds down again.
If the road on the roadside of Liujia Village is a ditch, then the right side of the Wildcat Village can be called a cliff.
There is a road hanging on the steep mountainside. When the carriage drove past, Yin Le did not dare to pay much attention to the cliff on the right. He only concentrated on moving forward, his heartbeat accelerated and his breathing became rapid.
This place is fine during the day, but if it falls at night, it is dangerous to run a horse, let alone a carriage.
In the dark, unable to see the road clearly, if you rush off the cliff, your life will be over.
Actually, when they reached this narrow cliff road, Liu Ji, Yin Le, Dalang Erlang and Si Niang all began to regret.
But the people of Shengguo, who want to be strong throughout their lives, have the toughest words in their entire body. Even if they tremble after crossing a cliff, they dare not express any regrets.
You can only comfort yourself with reasons such as doing a good deed every day is an experience, the child is pitiful, etc.
On the other hand, Qin Yao, who was riding alone at the back, could still calmly appreciate the magnificent scenery of the mountains, and her irritability disappeared a lot.
I saw a thorny branch with wild berries on the roadside. I broke off one and ate it while walking. It was sour and sweet, and it produced fluid and quenched my thirst.
The child’s hair was neatly tied up, but his clothes looked more shabby than the woman’s. The very ill-fitting trousers tripped him, but the woman didn’t look back and just walked forward.
Soon, a woman appeared with a little boy in her arms. The two of them were covered in patches, and the woman’s greasy hair was wrapped in a blue cloth.
“Thank you so much for saving my eldest son. Her grandma and I were almost dying of panic. We only have these two boys in the house. If they were abducted, our family would not be able to survive.” She said so excitedly that the woman still kept her. Two tears, eyes red.
Just when I was wondering why there was no sound of people, there was suddenly the sound of running from the gathering place of the houses in front.
The place is not big and there are few fields. In order to utilize all available land resources, the hillside is covered with artificially cultivated terraces.
“younger brother!”
As soon as Liu Jicai opened his mouth, the dog boy ran out. He was first hugged by the woman, and then the mother and son hugged him. He broke away again and went to help the little boy who fell.
Liu Ji thought to himself that it was a good thing he had sent the child back, otherwise the woman would have cried to death.
“It’s so quiet.” Liu Ji looked around, but there was not even a dog barking or a chicken crowing, and no human voice could be heard.
“This lady.”
The two children have dark skin, but she has fair skin. Because she is crying, her face is rosy, and her appearance is only five points, which adds a sense of weakness.
Coming down from the mountain, you will reach the Wild Cat Village.
The woman seemed to have just discovered that the little boy had fallen. She rushed over anxiously, holding the brothers one by one, and gratefully came towards Qin Yao and the others.
The Gouwa sitting in front of Liu Ji was also excited. Liu Ji quickly dismounted and put him down to the ground.
What’s strange is that these farmlands are all green and lush. During the spring plowing season, there is not a single farmer busy in the fields.
The woman shouted excitedly: “Dog!”
“Benefactors, please come home with me and have a cup of tea, so that I can have a chance to cook a meal to thank my benefactors.” The woman said sincerely.
The sun is already heading towards the west. If we delay any longer, we will not be able to reach Anxian County. Liu Ji waved his hand and was about to refuse, when the woman led the two brothers to the carriage again.
“Hey, there are still a few kids. Come with me. Let’s take a rest and drink a bowl of sweet water before we go.” Yin Le waved his hand politely: “No, no, we have to go to An County, otherwise we won’t be able to get in. Go to the city and have to sleep in the wilderness today.”
Gou Wa Niang asked in surprise: “Are you going to stay in An County? Most of the people in the village went out to do business. There are still several empty rooms in my house. Why don’t we stay here tonight? Although the house is simple, the houses I clean it every day and keep it clean.”
Liu Ji thought to himself that the farmland was deserted because people had gone out to do business. No wonder the village was so quiet.
Gouwa Niang looked at Liu Jina, “My benefactor, please go home. If you just leave like this, my conscience will not be at ease. I’m afraid I won’t be able to sleep or eat. Gouwa hasn’t been serious with you yet.” Here’s a cup of tea”
He looked at Yin Le in the car again and said, “It can also save a lot of money. Since we have an empty house at home, why waste it.”
The only one who didn’t see Qin Yao parked behind the carriage was Liu Ji and Yin Le who turned to ask her for her opinion. Gou Wa Niang was surprised and took two steps back. She was startled when she saw another person here.
It was so quiet that she didn’t even notice that there was a big living person.
His tear-stained eyes swept over Qin Yao, met her gaze, and smiled cautiously, “It turns out that the madam is still behind. I was blind and didn’t see the madam. I’m sorry, madam. Don’t be angry.”
“No, my wife is very generous. I can’t be angry with you, right?” Liu Ji smiled and winked at Qin Yao.
Looking at their expressions, Qin Yao knew that everyone wanted to stay.
The scenery of this Wild Cat Village is really good, and it’s not far from An County. If you rest here for one night, you don’t have to go to An County when you set off tomorrow morning. It’s almost the same as heading straight ahead.
She nodded and said, “Let’s go then. It’s just a one-size-fits-all deal, and you’ll still have to pay for the room.” This saves money on meals.
They were willing to entertain, so they didn’t want to go too far. After all, judging from the way the Gouwa brothers were dressed, the family didn’t look wealthy.
Gouwa Niang wanted to say no, but Liu Ji stopped her and asked her who else was in the village. She saw that there were quite a few houses, but they were dilapidated.
Gou Wa Niang led the way with a child in one hand and said: “There are only about twenty people left, either old or young, and they are sleeping at home at noon.” That’s why it is so deserted.
Liu Ji expressed his envy. He could still take a nap. It seemed like he was really free.
Walking into the village, another rickety old lady came. Her eyesight was not very good. She was leaning on a cane and tilting her head. She squinted her eyes and turned her head around. She seemed to have seen a blurry figure in front of her and shouted tentatively:
“Is the dog boy back?”
Gou Wa Niang responded hurriedly: “Yes, he is back. His benefactor sent him back. This naughty child knows how to run around. He will learn a lesson now.”
He shook the hands of the two boys again, and the two brothers called out in a low voice: “Ah, milk.”
There was a hint of fear in his voice that was barely noticeable.
Liu Ji just thought that the old lady was a bit strange. She squinted her eyes and came close to people to look at you, saying she was blind. But when she saw the incomparable Liu Juren, she showed a surprised look.
Liu Ji put his fist to his lips and coughed twice to prevent the raised corners of his mouth from being too obvious.
“Let the carriage stop in the courtyard.” Gou Wa Niang removed the threshold and led a few people in.
Her yard should be the largest in the village. The front yard is very spacious and empty, with only a few farm tools placed against the wall.
Yin Le put the children down and parked the carriage next to the wall. He glanced at the farm tools inadvertently and saw that they all had a thick layer of dust on them.
It seems that doing business in this place is very profitable, the land is not cultivated, and the farm tools are all gathering dust and old. (End of chapter)
