In her past life, Sheng Kangning was the classic naive girl—easily manipulated by her scheming stepmother and half-sister, blindly following their every move.
Branded with a ruined reputati...
When Uncle Jiang brought them to Baichuan Forest Farm, it was already dawn.
Sheng Kangning missed Uncle Duan's family very much, but there was nothing she could do now. Uncle Duan's family didn't know her yet, so she could only go to Hongyang Farm first.
Uncle Duan has three children, a girl and two sons.
The eldest is called Duan Dongcheng, and he is serving in the army. The second is a girl named Duan Xiao'e, and the third is called Duan Zhishan.
Duan Zhishan is the youngest son of Uncle Duan. He was born in his old age and has been loved and cared for by his parents and his brothers and sisters since he was young.
This child is quite clever. He has been practicing martial arts with Uncle Duan since he was young. By the time he was twelve years old, he was as strong as a calf.
That is this summer.
I don’t know what happened, but I fell down the hillside and broke my leg.
There was no doctor in Baichuan Forest Farm at the time, so Duan Zhishan was sent to Hongyang Farm. However, Dr. Zhou at Hongyang Farm was a half-baked doctor and failed to reconnect Duan Zhishan's leg properly.
As a result, three months after Duan Zhishan was taken back to Baichuan Forest Farm, his injured leg became ulcerated and worsened, and he died.
This incident was a heavy blow to the Duan family.
Duan Xiao'e's mother soon passed away.
Sheng Kangning only remembered that it was this summer, but Duan Xiao'e didn't say the specific day.
Sheng Kangning was thinking that when he arrived at Hongyang Farm, he would find an opportunity to visit Baichuan Forest Farm.
Sheng Kangning withdrew his gaze and saw Zhou Xiaoran had already climbed onto the last carriage.
The leading coachman whipped his whip.
The carriage started moving.
Shirakawa Forest Farm is right at the foot of the mountain. After a few minutes of driving by horse-drawn carriage, we came to an endless meadow.
Sheng Kangning took out two hats he had bought before from his luggage, kept one for himself and gave one to Xu Hongmei.
Xu Hongmei asked curiously: "Why are you holding the hat?"
"Put it on first! Quickly!"
After Sheng Kangning finished speaking, he put on his hat and took out two pieces of clothing from his luggage.
He took one for himself and gave one to Xu Hongmei.
Sheng Kangning pulled the clothes over his head, completely covering his head and face.
Xu Hongmei laughed when she saw it.
Sheng Kangning said to her seriously: "Don't laugh, cover yourself up like me!"
After that, he turned to Mrs. Qin beside him and said:
"Sister Qin, there are a lot of mosquitoes here, all of them are big ones. If they bite you, it will itch and hurt! It's very uncomfortable. Take out a few clothes from your luggage and cover yourself and the children with them to protect them! By the way, do you have gloves? If you have gloves, take them out and put them on to protect your hands."
After saying that, Sheng Kangning took out two pairs of woolen gloves from his luggage and put them on.
Seeing her fully armed, Xu Hongmei asked, "Are you really not bothered by the heat?"
Sheng Kangning: "It's better to be hot than to be bitten by mosquitoes! Do you want gloves? I have some here."
"Okay, get me a pair to use first," Xu Hongmei said, and without hesitation, she covered her head and face with the clothes given by Sheng Kangning.
They were fine as their clothes covered their hats, leaving a gap between their clothes and their faces. The morning breeze blew through, and the wind echoed inside, making it not that hot.
After Sheng Kangning covered his head, face and hands, he asked Sister Qin: "Sister Qin, do you have gloves? No, use mine first."
Mrs. Qin had already covered the heads and faces of the three children, and was now covering herself with clothes: "Don't worry about me, I have gloves with me."
Sheng Kangning spoke loudly and everyone in the carriage heard it.
When the female educated youth heard that there were mosquitoes, they quickly followed suit and took out their clothes to cover their heads and faces.
There were also a few male educated youth who thought they were too pampered and did not take the matter seriously.
The coachman was an old soldier, he said with a smile:
"The little girl is quite experienced!"
Sheng Kangning and her group were in the first carriage. All the female educated youth on this carriage had their heads and faces wrapped in clothes.
Those who have gloves can find them and put them on. Those who don’t have gloves can put their hands into their sleeves.
The educated youth in the other two carriages were not so lucky.
Before long, everyone began to hear a buzzing sound in their ears, followed by the sound of someone slapping their legs, arms, and faces.
It is no exaggeration to say that with one slap, you can hit at least seven or eight long-legged mosquitoes, and your hands will be covered with blood.
If you don’t see it with your own eyes, it’s hard for ordinary people to imagine that there are so many mosquitoes here.
A large dark area.
In the carriage where Sheng Kangning and the others were, the male educated youth almost quickly took off their clothes and covered their exposed skin. Even though they reacted quickly, they were still bitten and had many large lumps.
Mainly because there are too many mosquitoes.
Screams were heard from the two carriages behind from time to time.
Zhou Xiaoran was annoyed with Sheng Kangning and deliberately got on the last carriage.
At this time, both hands were busy, slapping mosquitoes:
"Why are there so many mosquitoes here? It's so itchy!"
At this time, Zhou Xiaoran's back of hands, arms, face, and all the exposed skin had been visited by mosquitoes. There were big lumps everywhere from mosquito bites, even on his scalp.
Because Zhou Xiaoran loved beauty, she altered a pair of pants to be smaller. She didn't notice it when she was standing, but as soon as she sat down, the trouser legs moved up, exposing not only her ankles but also a large part of her calves.
Zhou Xiaoran's calves and ankles were covered with red spots from mosquito bites, which were itchy and painful.
Some places have been scratched by Zhou Xiaoran.
Some female educated youth started crying.
Zhou Xiaoran was also slapping mosquitoes and wiping her tears.
But there were too many mosquitoes, and they were fearless and kept rushing towards people, making it impossible to kill them all.
