C51 Revenge

The lady was making lunch, adding the three people of Bai’s mother and two more dishes, Bai Xian told Bai’s mother and Bai Xiu to rest well, and went to help the woman cook.

After chatting for a while, Bai Xian found out that the woman's surname was Ma and her husband's surname was Liu. The two of them had no children, and settled down in a small village with a beautiful scenery.

"Ma Da Niang, thank you for letting us rest here. Our entire family is grateful for your kindness."

Ma Da Niang laughed heartily: "You little girl, your mouth is really sweet, but letting you come over to have a meal is not considered a favor, our family has always had regular dishes, we don't have any big fish or big meat to entertain you with."

Bai’s mother and Bai Xiu definitely did not have a good night's rest last night. If they could rest at this Ma Da Niang's house for the night, it would be good to continue their journey. She had already made up her mind to go and persuade Bai’s mother.

Waiting until they were eating, the man from Ma Da Niang, the farmer Liu, returned home. When he saw the few people from Bai’s mother that suddenly popped up, he was startled, but the Ma Da Niang quickly explained their origins, and only then did the farmer Liu warmly greet them.

"The road in the mountain is not easy. Those people who have never been here before will turn around as soon as they enter the forest."

Bai Xian smiled, farmer Liu and Ma Da Niang were two real people: "Uncle Liu, can we stay at your house for the night and leave tomorrow?"

Farmer Liu and the Ma Da Niang looked at each other and nodded, "Alright, but this old man's house is too shabby, please excuse me."

In order to repay Farmer Liu and Ma Da Niang for their help, after a short lunch break, Bai Xian and Bai’s mother decided to go out and find some ingredients for everyone to eat at night.

Bai Xian held onto Bai’s mother's arm, his tone filled with pain. "Mother, I'll go out and look for him myself.

Bai’s mother sighed, "Xian Er, Mother and Little Xiu are dragging you down. If it wasn't for us, you might have long been in a safe place."

Bai Xian did not like his mother's self-denial, "Mother, look at what you're saying. If I don't have you two, I would be a person without a family.

Seeing Bai Xian's exaggerated expression, the melancholy in Bai’s mother's heart gradually dissipated. "Xian Er, don't tell anyone what Mother told you this morning, understand? We are not aware of the internal affairs of the Bai Clan. Now that the people of the Bai Clan are no longer here, mother hopes that you can live well and not think about revenge. "

Bai’s mother was worried that Bai Xian would do something stupid to get revenge on her, so she patiently advised Bai Xian, "Mother has a close friend named Qi Shuang. When mother gave birth to you, she even said that she wanted to take you as her goddaughter.

If it was the Steppes Master, he might still have some memories of the matters that happened during their childhood. But of the current Bai Xian, how could she possibly remember him? Bai Xian smiled perfunctorily, "Mother, that was when I was young. I can't even remember."

Bai’s mother would think of the luxurious life that Bai Xian lead when he was young. Although his father didn't seem to be good at martial arts on the surface, he didn't really like being a family official. He would write and draw in the house all day without any official positions. Actually, many of the Bai Clan's tactics and military strategies were written by his father. Ever since he was young, he had been very insightful when it came to war.

Bai’s mother thought about the handsome and rich man from many years ago. She had accidentally met him and fell in love with him, and despite her family's obstruction and her parents' tears, she resolutely married him.

Bai’s mother's eyes moistened. "It's good that you forgot, it's good that you forgot."

Bai Xian looked at Bai’s mother, whose entire body was revealing a sorrowful expression, and embraced his shoulders comfortingly. "Mother, don't be sad anymore. Only when we have the chance to find out the truth will we be able to avenge Grandfather and Father."

Bai’s mother wiped her tears, looking at the resolute Bai Xian, she nodded: "Alright, mother has to thank you. Xian Er, we must find Qi Shuang."

The autumn forest was like a treasure trove, chestnuts, hawthorn, sweet potatoes and peanuts. The more Bai Xian dug, the more energy he got from him, the more Bai’s mother looked at the pile of peanuts that Bai Xian had dug out. He asked in confusion, "Xian Er, can this thing really be eaten?"

Bai Xian playfully blinked her eyes. "Mother, you'll know tonight." She went into the water and caught some snails and small fish in the stream.

Ma Da Niang, who was about to prepare a meal, looked at Bai Xian and Bai’s mother who had returned with a great harvest, and asked in shock: "Where did you guys go to do this?"

Bai Xian asked Bai’s mother to pull him to the living room to talk, and he went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. When the chestnut hawthorn was shelled, he directly boiled it with water and put in some rice to cook for half an hour after the water was boiled, the sweet chestnut peanut porridge was ready.

Because the white sugar was still considered a rare commodity in this era, Bai Xian did not add any sugar. The fried red fruit was slightly sour, and was very appetizing.

With the sweet potato steamed and flour mixed in, Bai Xian stewed the fished fish in a pot. The sweet potato pancake was stuck to the edge of the iron pot, the cake in the pot was sprayed with fragrance.

Farmer Liu, who had returned home after working busily for the entire afternoon, gulped down his saliva after seeing the table full of dishes on his table. He looked at Bai Xian in shock and then looked at his wife, "My wife, did you make all this by yourself?"

The Ma Da Niang nodded, when she first saw the table full of dishes, she was equally shocked. No wonder the Bai’s mother pulled her, refusing to let her help Bai Xian out.

Bai Xian and Bai Xiu stood up and bowed towards Farmer Liu and the Ma Da Niang, "Thank you Uncle Liu and the Ma Da Niang for saving us."

From the very beginning, the Ma Da Niang had seen them acting in a polite manner, dressed in rich clothes, probably from a wealthy family. Although she did not seek for the's return, seeing them thanking her in such a way, the two were still very excited.

"Big sis, you guys are too polite. Hurry up and let your child sit down to eat."

Because of the sweet potato, the coarse flour did not taste as bad as it did before. Ma Da Niang looked at Bai Xian like a fairy now, the difference between the dishes made by his own family's food and Bai Xian's food was actually so huge.

Bai Xian thoughtfully said to the Ma Da Niang: "Aunt, I will tell you how the dishes are done in a while."

Ma Da Niang looked at Bai Xian in envy: "The food you made is really delicious, I'm afraid that after you guys leave, we won't be able to eat anymore, how about you stay for a few more days?"

In the face of the Liu farmer and Ma Da Niang's passionate urging to stay, Bai’s mother tactfully rejected them. If it wasn't for the fact that she was worried that the children would have to travel too arduously, and that she didn't even want to stay here tonight, she had seen too much darkness in her heart that she wouldn't dare to easily believe anyone else.
