He paused for a moment before the cold halberd pierced his shoe. Gao Zangfeng was so frightened that his face turned pale. He dropped the halberd and ran to him, asking in panic, "City Lord, is everything okay? I didn't mean to do it. I really didn't mean to." He felt miserable. He had come to practice with him so early in the morning, and the City Lord had deliberately tried to extort money from him.
Could it be that he had done something wrong recently and the old city lord was deliberately making trouble for him?
A sticky liquid slid down his left shoulder, accompanied by a fishy smell. Qi Wuze vomited, and his usually casual and playful voice became cold and deep. He suppressed his anger and said, "Falcon!"
Gao Zangfeng sniffed and asked tentatively, "Did you poop?"
Seeing the Lord City Lord's anger turned towards him, Gao Zangfeng ran away like the wind, shouting as he ran: "Lord City Lord, wait a minute, I'll go get you a doctor."
Qi Wuze changed his clothes and came out. As expected, Gao Zangfeng arrived with the doctors from the mansion and insisted on bandaging him. The big, rough man cried and cried. Qi Wuze was disgusted and slapped his head until it banged loudly. Finally, he sat down helplessly and let them toss him around.
Gao Zangfeng stood aside obediently and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It was already dawn outside, and the lights were on in the house. A hunting falcon was perched on the wooden table by the windowsill, rolling an egg back and forth in its claws. Qi Wuze got a headache the moment he saw the egg, and pointed at Gao Zangfeng and said, "Throw away that egg."
Gao Zangfeng took a look and didn't dare to go over. He said in embarrassment: "City Lord, falcons are very protective of their food. They usually look at those jewels as if they were their eyeballs. I dare not touch its things." Otherwise, my eyes will be pecked out by it.
Gao Zangfeng glanced around the falcon's nest. It was completely empty; even his favorite jade beads were gone. He couldn't help but exclaim, bewildered, "City Lord, has your bird changed its nature? It's not playing with jewels anymore, but eggs now?"
Qi Wuze: Why does this sound awkward?
Before he could cut Gao Zangfeng, Old Liu, who was ripping a piece of rag beside him, became upset. "Crazy Gao, are you kidding me? There's no wound on the City Lord's leg."
In the dim candlelight, Qi Wuze and Gao Zangfeng both lowered their heads to look at their legs.
The previously injured part of the calf had completely healed, leaving only an ugly dark red scab on the surface that was about to fall off.
Gao Zangfeng's eyes widened, his mouth open for a long time without saying a word. He looked up at Qi Wuze blankly, as if waiting for him to say something.
In the earthquake in the Red Rock Canyon, Qi Wuze's right calf was hit by a rock and scratched. The wound was two inches long and half a little finger deep. It was impossible for it to scab over in just one day.
Qi Wuze frowned and thought: After cleaning, he only applied the medicine he gave to Ye Nuan.
He was speechless for a long time, then looked up and met Gao Zangfeng's gaze. After a while, Gao Zangfeng touched his head and laughed heartily, saying, "The City Lord has the blessing of the Lake God, so his wounds heal faster than ours."
Old Liu sneered, muttered a few words, picked up his medicine box and left without looking back.
There were only two people and a hunting falcon left in the study. Gao Zangfeng was about to slip away when Qi Wuze suddenly said, "That woman applied medicine on me."
"Huh?" Gao Zangfeng was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what he meant. After a moment of confusion, he immediately said angrily, "That woman is not trustworthy. She clearly promised not to strip the City Lord's clothes the next time they meet. But that night, not only did she strip him, she also touched and hugged him indiscriminately. She is even more powerful than Pavilion Master Jiang. She must have been bewitched by the City Lord and lost her mind."
Qi Wuze added: "She discovered the mine."
"The people inside the pass are really... huh?" Gao Zangfeng said halfway before he cleared his mind. His mind went blank for a second before he repeated his words: "She discovered the mine?"
Qi Wuze nodded: "Do you think...she...is a little special?"
Especially calm, especially...he couldn't put it into words.
Gao Zangfeng rolled his eyes, chewing over his city lord's words with his own stubborn head, and suddenly realized: "It is indeed special, and he is very shameless."
Qi Wuze held his forehead and said: You just can’t understand what people say, right?
He picked up the book on the table and rushed towards him. Gao Zangfeng was not smart, but he was agile. He disappeared in a flash, extinguishing all the candles in the room.
The sky was turning pale, and the study was half bright and half dark. Qi Wuze sat in the shadow, his fingers groping for the missing jade belt, biting his back teeth and sneering inwardly: He is really shameless. He touched him again and again. Could it be that he really likes him?
laugh!
The falcon was still rolling the eggs under its feet. He tilted his head and stared at it with interest.
It was already bright outside, and the incredibly thick-skinned Ye Nuan was still curled up in her quilt, unable to get up from her sleep last night. It wasn't until she heard Su's scream outside that she jumped up and rushed out, clothes on.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
When Su saw her come out, she waved quickly, her voice still high and surprised, "Ah Nuan, the chives are growing, so long!"
Ye Nuan peered through her into the chive patch. Lush, calf-high clumps of chives swayed in the breeze, juicy and tender, even twice as green as the emerald beads from last night. Looking around, the seeds she'd planted yesterday were all sprouting tiny, tender, green tips.
This... She used some upgraded spiritual spring water when planting vegetables yesterday, and they all sprouted overnight!
No wonder her mother was so surprised.
"A Nuan, what's going on? How come the leeks have grown so long overnight? How come all the seeds I planted yesterday have sprouted?" Although Su came from a wealthy family, she knew that it was impossible for vegetables to grow so long overnight. There must be something wrong with the abnormality, and she became a little worried for a moment.
"Mom, this is a wasteland. Maybe the soil is different from that in the interior. It's better if the vegetables grow fast, so that we won't have to worry about having nothing to eat later." Ye Nuan began to fool Su.
Ye Xiaohu, who had been squatting nearby watching the leeks, suddenly said, "Mom, it's me, it's me, I'm talking to it." Ye Xiaohu still remembered what his sister said: "If you chat with the vegetables more, they will grow taller. Sure enough, his sister didn't lie to him."
That serious yet smug look made Ye Nuan laugh. After Su's surprise, she felt her daughter had a point. No matter what the reason, growing up quickly was better.
"A Nuan is right." Su actually found a slight sense of accomplishment in this little world. She now wished that all the seedlings would grow up overnight.
"Sister is right." Ye Xiaohu parroted.
"Mom, take my brother to take a shower. I'll fry some chive and egg pancakes for you guys later."
Ye Nuan went back to her room, put on her clothes and shoes, combed her hair, and went out to wash. After she was done, she took the kitchen knife and basket to cut chives. Ye Xiaohu followed her, jumping up and down. Su Shi, who had never seen chives before, also followed curiously to take a look.
She squatted down, cupped the leek in her palm, and cut through it from the bottom. The leek, held in her palm, had leaves like emerald, roots like white jade, and a rich fragrance. Su took a deep breath and praised, "This leek is so fragrant, even better than the ones I've had before."
Ye Nuan put the leeks into the basket. Ye Xiaohu reached out and touched them curiously. When he was happy, he turned around and smiled at Su: "Mom, leeks."
There were more than a dozen in total, and Ye Nuan only harvested three. As she walked back with the basket, Su picked up her son and proudly praised him, "Sister, you're amazing, aren't you? This is how good your first time growing vegetables is!"
"Yeah, sister is the best!"
The mother and son praised Ye Nuan to the sky. Ye Nuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: It's amazing that she can grow leeks. In the future, she can also grow potatoes, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, watermelons, dragon fruits... and other things you can't imagine.
Ye Nuan took out the wheat flour left over from yesterday and cracked three eggs into the flour, mixing them with the chives. After adding salt to taste, she heated up some oil in a pan, shaped the dough into round pieces, and frying them in the pan over low heat.
As the hot oil poured in, the delicate fragrance of chives, blending with the distinctive burnt aroma of eggs, instantly filled the kitchen, even reaching the courtyard. A dozen chive and egg pancakes were neatly stacked on the plate, their vibrant green and golden hues making Ye Xiaohu's mouth water. He grabbed one before even setting the plate down, scorching it but unable to bear to throw it away, tossing it back and forth between his tiny hands.
Su laughed like crazy, squatting down to help him catch it, and brought it to his mouth. Ye Xiaohu bit hard, the golden skin crackling with a sound, and the rich aroma of chives filled his nose. Ye Xiaohu clapped his hands and jumped for joy, his face blooming, and he said incoherently, "Sister, it smells good."
Ye Nuan also took one and took a bite. It was fragrant and crispy.
I’m so happy that I’m about to cry!
After eating one, he heard a noise outside the yard and Jin Qiu's voice rang out. Ye Nuan ran to open the door and saw her holding a pure black puppy and looking out the door. Her nose twitched and she asked in confusion, "What are you cooking at home? Why does it smell so good?"
