Once his comrades confirmed this information, they threw the soldier's body aside and ran towards the warehouse area.
But Suo invited Qiao Lian'er to his home for dinner, and Qiao Lian'er did not refuse. For her, encountering two pure souls in such a place was something to cherish.
When she arrived at Danso's house, neither of the siblings were home. She asked a neighbor and learned that Danso had gone up the mountain to look for his sister.
Qiao Lian'er then started a fire and began cooking the porridge. Dan Suo also bought a pound of meat, and Pei Shijiu chopped half a pound of it and added it to the porridge to cook together.
When the porridge was almost ready, they saw Danzo carrying Siddar back.
Seeing several bloodstains on Xida's body, Qiao Lian'er asked, "What happened? Are you alright?"
"It's common to fall on a hillside; most of the injuries are superficial and nothing serious."
Danso put Cida down and said apologetically, "You are our guests, and we should be the ones hosting you. Instead, we've made you suffer."
"It's nothing." Qiao Lian'er took out a bottle of medicine powder from her sleeve and tossed it to Dan Suo.
"Sprinkle this on Cedar's wound."
"Yes, thank you, Miss Shui." But Suo knew that whatever the young lady brought out must be something good.
He carried Xida into the house, put her down, brought in a basin of clean water, washed her wounds, dried them, sprinkled on some medicine powder, and then bandaged them with cloth strips.
Seeing wild vegetables in the basket, Pei Shijiu took them, washed them, broke them off, and put them into the porridge.
Wild vegetables have a unique, refreshing aroma, especially the ones that Xida brought back. Picking the tenderest green ones made them very palatable.
Qiao Lian'er poured the meat porridge into a bowl and added the oily duck egg and pickled vegetables.
Pei Shijiu picked it up and distributed it to everyone.
Flowing like clouds and water, composed and elegant.
He discovered that doing these things with her brought an indescribable, subtle warmth that filled his heart, like fragrant little flowers blooming.
It's as if he would be content to be an ordinary couple with her in the fields.
"Thank you, Sister Shui, Brother Bai." Xida also came out of the house, picked up the meat porridge, took a sip, and then slowly picked up her chopsticks, her face full of satisfaction.
Qiao Lian'er's heart softened when she heard her sister called out to her.
When Xida eats, he is very quiet and well-behaved, occasionally tilting his head, like an adorable little cat immersed in eating.
Everyone ate the simple yet delicious meat porridge bite by bite, their bellies full and their stomachs warm.
But as Suo finished washing the dishes, the sun had just set in the west, casting a magnificent glow.
We should mention that to Miss Shui.
He glanced around to make sure no one was watching, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Miss Shui, do you buy gemstones here?"
Qiao Lian'er glanced at him, but Suo was probably asking someone else. The two siblings had already hit the jackpot by getting those three somewhat valuable rough stones today.
