Chapter 343 Reed Cotton-padded Jacket
"This is Erbao's." Li clenched the cotton coat in her hand and said somewhat unnaturally.
Erbao has been weak since childhood. It is so cold today and he urgently needs a cotton coat to keep warm.
So when Big Girl's mother brought her cotton, she started making it for him without even thinking about it.
"You're biased!" Dabao immediately sat on the ground and cried. "I knew you only like Erbao, the murderer's son!"
Erbao's eyes turned cold and he subconsciously clenched his thin little fists.
He was about to rush forward but was stopped by the big girl.
"Uncle said that a gentleman should use his mouth, not his fists!" She said with a stern face, "If you hit a scoundrel like that, I'm afraid even your hands would be dirty."
After hearing this, Erbao was able to suppress the anger in his heart.
Da Niu is from the Wang family, and people in the Wang family don’t like to use violence.
But Shen Wan is different. She would rather take action than talk.
Looking at Dabao rolling on the ground throwing a tantrum, she grabbed his collar, opened the door and threw him out, then quickly closed the door.
This set of movements was performed in one go, as smooth as flowing water, leaving everyone present stunned.
Especially Erbao and Da Nv, they stared with their big watery eyes, and were so shocked that they couldn't recover for a long time.
In the past, when I was misbehaving, even if my elders didn’t want to coax me patiently, they would still put on a stern face and educate me seriously.
But the woman didn't say a word and threw Dabao into the snow like a chick.
It seems that they have to behave themselves from now on.
Otherwise, the next one to be thrown out will definitely be you!
Listening to Dabao's shrill cry outside the window, Li couldn't sit still anymore.
"Young Madam, is this okay?" She hesitated and asked cautiously.
In fact, she didn't like Dabao either, but Zhao was dead, and as his aunt she couldn't just ignore him.
"There's nothing wrong with it." Shen Wan didn't take it seriously and continued to sit on the warm kang. "To deal with this kind of naughty kid, you can only be more aggressive than him."
It is absolutely impossible for her to influence Dabao with sincerity and patience.
Not abandoning him to the wilderness to fend for himself was already her greatest kindness.
Having said that, Li still looked out the window a little uneasily.
Although I couldn't see clearly, the north wind seemed to be even stronger.
"It's so cold outside, will he catch a cold?" Li asked worriedly.
Shen Wan smiled cunningly: “Don’t worry, he is not stupid.”
"When he felt cold, he made sure to leave immediately."
No matter who else he was, Dabao was a person who only cared about enjoying himself. He definitely didn't have the courage to keep crying in the snow.
If he could stand for an hour, she would dare to wash her hair upside down!
Shen Wan still overestimated Dabao.
Not to mention an hour, not even a cup of tea had passed, and Dabao was so cold that he ran to Xie Murong's room to warm himself by the fire.
The group stayed in the village for a few more days, and only continued on their journey after their cotton-padded clothes were made.
Although the wind and snow were strong, Hu Dahai still had a mission to complete. He had to escort the remaining fugitives to the Northwest as soon as possible.
Afraid that Shen Wan would get cold, Xie Mubai asked Black Eagle to replace the curtains hanging on the carriage with cotton ones, and asked Ran Qiu to make a small quilt to put on her legs.
In this way, you won’t feel too cold even if it’s windy and snowy outside.
"This is for you." Xie Mubai considerately handed over a hand warmer.
Shen Wan took it and asked with a smile: "How long will it take us to get to Lanyang?"
"Soon." Xie Mubai thought for a moment and said, "It should be fine in another month."
It’s still another month!
When Shen Wan heard this, she almost burst into tears.
It was still midsummer when I left the capital, but now it is snowing heavily and it will take another month to get back.
"It's snowing now, so walking is inevitably a bit slow." Seeing that she seemed unhappy, Xie Mubai patiently explained, "Don't worry, we will definitely be there before the New Year."
"Once we get to Lanyang, we won't have to travel any further."
Years ago?
Upon hearing these two words, Shen Wan's mood became even worse.
Let’s just do it before the New Year.
Although it's a bit slow, at least the dog emperor gave me a mansion, so I won't be without a place to stay when I arrive in Lanyang."
Xie Mubai knew she was anxious.
In fact, he was also anxious.
Seeing this little woman working so hard to accompany him, he felt extremely distressed.
But there was no point in rushing this matter. The only thing he could do now was to try his best to take good care of her.
Suddenly, there was a commotion outside.
Shen Wan curiously lifted the cotton curtain and saw Feng Da lying in the thick snow.
"Young Madam, please take a look at my elder brother." Feng Er stumbled to the front of the carriage and said in a crying voice.
Shen Wan and Xie Mubai looked at each other, then they got out of the car and walked over.
Although he was wearing a thick cotton coat, Feng Da's face turned ashen and his hands were frozen like red carrots.
Shen Wan bent down and placed her hand on his wrist.
"Young Madam, how is it?" Feng Er asked anxiously.
Shen Wan didn’t say anything, but just reached out to touch Feng Da’s cotton coat.
As soon as she touched it, she frowned.
Xie Mubai understood and reached out to grab Feng Da's cotton coat.
With a little force, the brand new cotton coat tore apart.
Looking down, everyone was stunned.
There was no cotton in the thick cotton coat, but it was filled with a lot of reed fluff!
"Who made this cotton-padded jacket?" Hu Dahai looked at it and his eyes turned red with anger.
There are so many people in the team, so it is inevitable that there are a few old bachelors.
So Hu Dahai gave the cotton and cloth to a few skillful women and asked them to help him make it.
"It's none of my business!" A woman heard this and quickly shook her head. "I clearly planted cotton, who knew it turned into reed fluff?"
Shen Wan recognized the woman. Her husband had been killed by a wolf on the way to exile.
In order to survive, she also hooked up with several men along the way.
But it didn't cause any trouble, so no one took it seriously.
Shen Wan thought about it, her eyes falling on the woman’s cotton coat.
Seeing that she was looking at herself, the woman quickly lowered her head, her eyes obviously a little flustered and uneasy.
Shen Wan walked forward and reached out to touch her cotton coat.
"I asked Big Girl's mother to give each adult a pound and a half of cotton." She pinched the cotton coat and smiled coldly, "But it seems that the cotton coat you are wearing used more than a pound and a half."
After hearing this, everyone's eyes fell on the woman.
Since everyone was wearing very warm clothes, no one noticed her at all.
Looking closely, this woman's cotton coat is indeed thicker than others.
"Who said that? I only used that one and a half kilograms!" The woman's face was pale, and she was obviously a little lacking in confidence. "This cotton coat looks thick, but it's just because I'm fat."
At this time, Feng Da woke up slowly.
He glanced at the woman and smiled weakly: "Don't think too much, no one is trying to harm me, I changed the reed catkins myself."
"Impossible!" Feng Er immediately became anxious when he heard it. "Brother, you don't know how to sew at all, how can you change the reed fluff?"
Although this cotton-padded jacket is not well made, the stitches are quite fine, which is definitely not something Feng Da can make.
Obviously, he is hiding something.
