Chapter 320 Little Nuobao steps in
At this time, since it was past noon, the hot spring was reserved for male guests to soak.
Most of the female guests stayed in their rooms, only occasionally ordering one or two pots of hot tea and some cakes, which made it quite relaxing.
After Mrs. Liu finished sweeping the house, she chatted with the second daughter-in-law of Yang before leaving work.
They mentioned that they were about to get paid, and they couldn't help but smile. They also talked about how rare green glutinous rice was and that they would steam another pot of it when they got home in the evening.
At this time, the second daughter-in-law of Yang muttered, "By the way, Aunt Liu, what do you think of the carpenter couple who moved in a few days ago?"
Mrs. Liu was brushing the dust off her body, stunned for a moment, and then waved her hands.
"Don't mention them. That carpenter is really a big mouth. He kept me company all afternoon yesterday, talking about all kinds of family matters. He also asked me a lot about the village and the Jiang family. He just delayed my work."
Yang Er's wife was surprised, "So he is like this to you too."
She blushed a little, "That carpenter was just making small talk with me this morning. He talked about a lot of things. At first, I thought he was not serious. I was afraid that my Yang Er would see him, so I avoided him."
Although they were working in Xianquanju, sometimes when they met male guests, women still had to avoid them.
To avoid misunderstandings, and if they couldn't explain it clearly, the whole village would laugh at them.
Mrs. Liu thought of Yang Er's temper and couldn't help laughing, "Who said it wasn't true? But I don't know what these two are thinking. They just keep asking so many questions. Could it be that they want to move to our village because our life is good?"
The two women grumbled for a while, but they wanted to go off the track.
They didn't know that they had been tricked by the couple and told a lot about the Jiang family and Xiao Lanyi.
At this time, Li Yiner sent a plate of snacks to the guests and returned to the lobby.
Hearing their whispers, she laughed, "Auntie Liu, Sister-in-law Yang, are you talking about rescuing those two people from Master Xiao? I'm afraid they won't bother you anymore in the future."
Mrs. Liu asked hurriedly, "What do you mean, Yin'er?"
Li Yin'er said in a low voice while picking up tea leaves, "Just now, when I went to the upper room in the back to deliver snacks to a room of guests, I happened to pass by their room. Through the crack of the door, I saw them packing up their things, as if they were about to leave."
It turned out that the two people had stayed for a few days, and now they were suspicious.
I don't know if it's right or wrong for me to chase Xiao Lanyi here.
Especially after they inquired about it and learned that although Xiao Lanyi was a well-known figure in the army, she had always stayed in the Liaodong Camp and did not seem to have any connection with the court, the two of them began to think about leaving.
But after saying this, Li Yin'er was stunned, and her heart suddenly began to beat.
She remembered that Feng had previously reminded her to pay more attention to these two people. Now they were leaving without saying goodbye, so it seemed that she had to go to the Jiang family.
Li Yin'er was alert and hurriedly pulled Liu Pozi, "No, Aunt Liu, you keep an eye on them for me first, I have to tell my aunt!"
She was running to the lobby in a hurry, and at this moment, Xiao Nuobao came staggeringly, swinging her little hair.
"Sister Yin'er!" She grinned and threw herself into Li Yin'er's arms.
Li Yiner quickly reached out to catch it, stretched her neck backwards, "My little ancestor, where is your mother, why didn't she come with you?"
Xiao Nuobao heard what she said before, waved her hands, grabbed the winter melon candy on the counter, and stuffed one into her mouth first.
She sucked the sweet candy and said calmly, "My mother didn't come, but don't worry, sister Yiner, I heard everything you said, those two people can't get away today."
These words were spoken softly, but Li Yiner felt inexplicably at ease when she heard them.
Xiao Nuobao scratched the back of his head, and immediately thought of something, so he stood on tiptoe and whispered to her.
"Sister Yin'er, go and help me do something..."
After hearing this, Li Yin'er was stunned for a moment.
But without much hesitation, she hurried to Fushan Hall.
"Okay, okay, I'll go get it and then cook it."
Thinking back to when she was tortured to death by her in-laws, it was this little guy who saved her with a few words.
So as long as Xiao Nuobao asked, no matter how strange the request was, she would do it.
Li Yin'er went to Doctor Wu and asked for two small packets of laxatives.
When she returned to Xianquanju, while no one was paying attention, she took a deep breath and poured all the powder into a can of goat milk.
After grabbing a handful of small-leaf tea leaves and two spoons of white sugar and throwing them into the milk, Li Yin'er took it to the stove and boiled it until it bubbled.
Soon, the goat milk tea was boiling. Li Yin'er divided it into two bowls and brought it to Xiao Nuobao.
She was still a little worried, "It's heavy and hot, how about I help you carry it."
Xiao Nuobao took it carefully and blew on his chubby hands, "No need, sister Yin'er, I'll do it for you."
After that, she held two bowls of goat milk tea, straightened her short legs, and walked towards a superior guest room in the back yard.
At this time, the couple had packed their bags and were discussing leaving secretly at night so as not to alarm others.
"I asked a few villagers, it's hard to say whether Xiao Lanyi is the person we are looking for." The man was wearing a wristband in the house, whispering, "I originally wanted to go to the Jiang family and search for the tiger talisman hidden in the house, but unfortunately there are always people in the Jiang family, so I can't get in at all."
The woman looked at her face in the bronze mirror, stroking the tiger's mouth for a while.
"What kind of military talisman is it? Humph, it's just the size of a palm, a small copper tiger. If he really escorted it, his box was turned over that day, and I also touched his body, how could we not find it?" The woman said coquettishly.
After thinking for a while, she sighed again, "The young master hasn't woken up yet. Tell me, if we really made a mistake and let him suffer for nothing, wouldn't that be a sin?"
In the room, there was no scent of makeup, only the faint smell of medicine on the two people.
The man thought for a long time, his face dimmed, "In fact, since I found you in Weiyuan Marquis's Mansion that year, I ignored your wishes and took the risk to elope with you. It was a sin. Over the years, we have been controlled by others and have done so many wrong things. Anyway, this one is not a big deal."
When the old days were mentioned, the woman's beautiful face twisted suddenly, as if in pain and anger.
She threw the wooden hairpin and rushed to the man, but she didn't get angry in the end, just hugged his neck and sobbed.
"This is our fate. We can't blame you, I don't blame you!"
"If you want to blame someone, blame the black-clad man from Wala. He robbed our child and knew that I was a slave who escaped from the mansion. He held my weakest part and forced me to work for him. He did so many evil things!" The woman cried so hard that her voice was shaking.
Xiao Nuobao was standing outside the door. After hearing these words and peeking at the fate of these two people, he was very surprised and sighed.
How could this be? !
"Who?" At this time, the man in the room suddenly raised his head and stared at the door vigilantly, "Who is eavesdropping outside? Come in!"
Xiao Nuobao didn't want to open the door, so he had to kick his tiger-head shoes and poke the door open.
"Hello, uncles and aunts. We have changed the recipe of goat milk tea in Xianquanju. My mother asked me to invite guests to try it. It's free~" Little Nuobao smiled and blinked harmlessly.
Seeing that it was a baby, the two people in the room relaxed their tense nerves again.
The woman loosened her fist and put the dagger disguised as a hairpin back under the pillow. Seeing that Nuobao could not hold it anymore, she pushed the man hurriedly.
"Go and get the goat milk tea quickly. It's just a child. Why are you nervous?"
The man's expression became gentle. As soon as he walked over, Little Nuobao stuffed a bowl into his arms.
She brought the other bowl to the couch and said with a babyish smile, "Uncle, drink one bowl, and auntie, drink one too, okay~"
Looking at the little girl in front of her, who looked like a little ingot, with white skin and big eyes, the woman's heart almost melted into soft water, and a sense of maternity arose.
She was not on guard and drank the second half of the bowl with her head tilted back.
Little Nuobao glanced at the man, and in order to win his favor, she immediately smiled with a row of small white teeth, "What a beautiful auntie, Nuobao likes you!"
The woman touched Little Nuobao's cheek and immediately smiled at the man, "What a lovely child, and you are not afraid of strangers, Ah Yan, come and see, our daughter must be this cute when she is this old."
The man just smiled softly, but there was not much warmth in his eyes.
Little Nuobao thought for a moment and deliberately asked, "Uncle and aunt, is this Xiao Guoguo that you two sent back? I don't know when he will wake up. The doctor didn't tell me. Do you know?"
The woman felt uneasy and avoided Nuobao's gaze. She could only continue to drink her goat milk tea with her head down.
At this time, Xiao Nuobao held his face and muttered, "Xiao Guoguo is so good to me. This time he came back, he brought me a lot of beautiful gifts, including a little copper tiger with many words engraved on it. It looks so beautiful!"
"I just don't know why he hid the copper tiger in a bag of pastries." Xiao Nuobao pretended to be helpless, "Maybe, it was to give me a surprise!"
As soon as he said this, the man at the door suddenly changed his expression and stared at Xiao Nuobao.
Made of copper?
In the shape of a tiger?
Hidden in pastries?
Could it be the military token they have been looking for!
The man's eyes lit up, he walked to the couch, took out a candy and stuffed it into Nuobao's hand, "Good boy, where is the bronze tiger now, can you show it to your uncle!"
Little Nuobao grabbed the candy and said with a smile, "Great!"
