Chapter 347： stranger

Yingbao got up early in the morning and after washing, she went to feed the chickens and ducks at home, and then drove them out of the yard.

Picked up a dozen chicken eggs and duck eggs from the chicken coop and put them in a straw basket.

Go to the kitchen again and fill the two large water jars with water.

Chunniang has already gotten up to cook. She first boils a large pot of rice porridge, then mixes a pot of batter and bakes egg pancakes.

Side dishes include home-pickled sweet and sour garlic, soy beans and stinky tofu.

This kind of stinky tofu is actually not smelly. It is made from naturally fermented tofu and has a very delicious taste.

Some radish slices and coriander are also added to the tofu, making it a perfect accompaniment to rice. Mr. Wu loves this stinky tofu the most and must eat it with every meal.

“Yingbao, are you ready to stay at home?” Mr. Wu asked while drinking porridge.

Yingbao nodded.

She felt that her life was pretty good now. She had unknowingly cured all the people in the surrounding countryside suffering from back gangrene. To this day, no one came to her for treatment.

It’s no wonder that people in the village have rarely gotten sick over the years. Even if a child has a headache or a fever, he can just ask Yingbao for a bowl of concoction.

 With the herbs picked from the wild by the villagers, some are kept at home and the rest are given to the little miracle doctor.

Mr. Wu said again: "Ying Bao, have you ever wanted to go to Shu to visit?"

Yingbao shook his head: "As the saying goes, if my parents are not far away, I will stay at home with them."

The upper and lower floors of the cave were kept in order by her parents, which saved her a lot of trouble. She didn't want to leave her parents and wander around.

Mr. Wu picked up a piece of egg pancake, spread some stinky tofu on it, rolled it up and ate it happily, and said: "Your uncle Wu will be in office for two years, and I don't know if he will stay in office."

His son did not want to stay in office and actually had the idea of ​​abandoning his official position, which made Mr. Wu very anxious.

He wanted Yingbao to persuade him, and maybe his son would change his mind.

“Uncle Wu will definitely not stay in office.” Yingbao was very sure.

In her dream, Wu Daozi returned to Beijing and was promoted to another level after returning to Beijing to renew his post. Later, he served as the official of Yuzhou Prefecture.

Mr. Wu didn’t say anything, just eating egg pancakes and stinky tofu.

It doesn't matter if that brat doesn't become an official, then the father and son will settle here, and then they will marry their son a wife, even a girl from the village. As long as his Wu family is allowed to flourish, status will not matter at all.

The old gentleman watched the little baby running around every day, feeling envious in his heart. He wished that his son would get married immediately and give him a group of grandchildren.

When the time comes, I can avoid having to worry about it and train them one by one to become talented, just like Jiang Jie did.

Yingbao didn't know what Mr. Wu was thinking, so he went to write after eating.

Actually, I am writing about what I need to buy.



Most of the Jiang family’s land is now managed by farm laborers, so Chun Niang and Jiang Sanlang are not very busy.

But you have to keep an eye on it when sowing, otherwise the seeds will be used up if you don’t pay attention.

After everyone had eaten, they all went to do their own business, and soon only Chun Niang and her daughter were left at home.

Chunniang put away the dishes and chopsticks, then picked up the vegetable basket and went to the vegetable field to pick vegetables.

I saw three people standing outside my house.

"Who are you looking for?" Chun Niang couldn't help but become wary when she saw the stranger.

The visitor smiled and said, "We are here to seek medical advice. Is your little miracle doctor at home?"

"Where are you from?" Chun Niang asked when she saw their strange accent.

A look of impatience flashed across one person's face, but he still smiled and said: "We are from a neighboring village, and our family is seriously ill, so we would like to ask a little miracle doctor to visit us."

Chunniang refused: "I'm really sorry. My daughter is just a little girl. She never goes to see a doctor. If you see a doctor, you still bring the patient."

"You..." One person said fiercely with a fierce look on his face: "Don't toast and eat as a penalty!" The other person waved his hand and said, "Don't be impatient."

The fierce-looking man just shut up.

Chun Niang's face darkened and she said, "I am a woman at home. Please go back. It is not good for my husband to see you."

As he spoke, he was about to close the door.

The two of them started to block the courtyard door together, and the other person slowly walked into the courtyard.

Chunniang took a few steps back and was about to shout when someone suddenly covered her mouth and nose.

Chunniang fell to the ground after being confused for a while.

Several people walked into the yard, closed the door behind their backs, and quickly rushed towards the main room.

When we came to the main room, we saw no one. One of us went to another room to search, but there was still no one there.

“No one, what should I do?”

They squatted outside for a long time and then entered the house after the family left. As a result, the little girl was not in the house.

"How is it possible? I clearly saw her not going out, how could she disappear?" This person was a scout, had very good observation skills, and was absolutely confident in his own judgment.

The leader said with a gloomy face: "Go and wake up that woman and ask her questions." After asking her, she must be killed to avoid future troubles.

So the other two people ran out of the house and looked around but couldn't find the woman. The courtyard door was also locked, and it didn't look like someone was going out.

"What's going on?" The two were shocked and turned back to the house to report to the boss, but the boss was also missing.

"Something's wrong! Let's go!" The two of them turned around and left. When they passed the door, one of them was hit on the back of the head with a stick by someone who suddenly appeared.

The man fell to the ground in response.

The other person was so frightened that he almost flew out of his wits and ran towards the courtyard gate without his life.

Jiang Sanlang held up an iron rod and chased after him, and soon knocked this man to the ground.

Ying Bao came out of the house, put out his hand to put the body into the cave, and then opened the courtyard door.

There was no one outside, not even behind the haystack.

Yingbao turned around and went back, taking his father into the cave.

At this time, three people were lying in the cave, two were dead and one was unconscious.

Jiang Sanlang gave his wife a bottle of medicine. It took a while before Chun Niang woke up.

Yingbao felt relieved when she saw that her mother was awake.

She heard someone talking to A Niang in the house before, and then realized something was wrong. One of them, Ying Bao, actually knew him. He was a close friend of Chen Guanglu. He used to be an errand in the county government, but was later dismissed by Wu Daozi.

She immediately understood what was going on and wanted to go out to help her, but she didn’t expect that they used some medicine that numbed her and made her faint.

Yingbao suddenly became furious, sneaked to the door and hid behind it, and instantly entered the cave.

After guessing that these people entered the house to search, she quickly appeared, ran out to retrieve her mother, and then went to find her father.

At this time, the father was picking grapes in the orchard of Dongfu and preparing to make wine. When his daughter said that he was afraid that they would harm his family, he immediately went out with an iron rod and knocked down one of them.

With the help of his daughter, Jiang Sanlang successfully knocked down the other two.

When these people were brought in, two of them were found dead on the spot.

Jiang Sanlang dragged the surviving man to the corner, found a thin hemp rope and tied his hands and feet.

He has circled a place here with reed mats, and is planning to build a granary here so that he can move in the excess food at home. It will be used to interrogate people at this time.

Jiang Sanlang stared at this man for a while, then picked up an awl and poked him in the middle.

“Ah!” The man screamed and was stabbed awake.
