Lin Meng's expression changed, and he asked tentatively:
"Ranran, why are you here?"
Lin Ran pretended to have just seen her and asked in surprise:
"I came here to inspect. Why is my cousin here?"
Lin Meng glanced at Meng Chengwang, and seeing that he had no reaction, she spoke:
"I was just passing by here and was about to go back."
Lin Ran nodded indifferently and ignored her and started to check the hygiene of the cowshed.
But after turning around, he found that Lin Meng was still standing there looking at him, feeling a little confused.
"Cousin, is there anything else?"
"I want to wait for you to come with me."
Lin Meng smiled harmlessly.
Lin Ran didn't say anything and continued to do her own thing. Let her wait if she wants.
During this period, Lin Ran also asked Meng Chengwang some questions.
Every time this happened, Lin Meng would come close to them, as if she was monitoring them, which made Lin Ran speechless.
Since you insist on making yourself uncomfortable, I will make it happen for you.
Lin Ran deliberately looked at the sweet potato in Lin Meng's hand.
"Why does my cousin bring sweet potatoes with him when he goes out?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Meng subconsciously put the sweet potato behind her back. When she met Lin Ran's meaningful gaze, she realized belatedly that she had overreacted.
She laughed dryly and made up an excuse.
"I just suddenly wanted to eat roasted sweet potatoes, but I was afraid that grandma would scold me, so I secretly took them out and roasted them. Ranran, you must keep it a secret for me."
When she said this, she didn't dare look at Meng Chengwang, for fear that he would think she was a liar.
But she could explain this later, the most urgent thing was to fool Lin Ran first.
If she went back and complained to Old Mrs. Lin, she would be in trouble.
Lin Ran would never do such a boring thing, as long as she didn't bother her, so she followed her words and asked directly:
"Then why don't you go grill? Are you waiting for me to join you?"
Of course Lin Meng didn't want to be with Lin Ran, but she was really worried that if she was not there, and the plot happened to start at this time, Lin Ran would intercept these people again, then wouldn't all her work these days be in vain?
In order to prevent this from happening, Lin Meng could only grit his teeth and nod.
"Yes, of course I have to take you along if there's something delicious."
Lin Ran's eyes flashed. It's okay to do it together. Since you came to her on your own initiative, she doesn't need to look for another opportunity.
Now she had no mood to go to work, so she just checked casually and prepared to leave.
But in order to perform the whole act, she went to the yellow mud house again and took a walk around.
Then I realized that except for an elderly couple who were busy working outside, everyone else was huddled in the house and being lazy.
Suddenly she remembered that the same thing happened last time.
She was originally planning to ask about it last time, but she happened to run into Lin Meng coming over, so the matter was put on hold.
I didn't expect it to be like this today.
She didn't care about her next plan and knocked on the door of the yellow mud house.
"Open the door, I'm the scorekeeper, why are you hiding in the house if you're not working?"
The deterrent effect of the scorer is still very strong, because they may report at any time.
So almost as soon as Lin Ran's voice fell, the door opened from the inside.
A round-faced old man in ragged black clothes came out with an apologetic smile. It was Old Man Qian.
"Comrade Lin, you misunderstood. We are not lazy. We just finished our work and are resting in the house for a while."
Lin Ran was not someone to be fooled, she pointed towards the cowshed.
"That place hasn't been cleaned up yet, and you're already back to rest? Don't you see Comrade Meng and the others are still busy there?"
"We all divided the work and cooperated with each other. We have already completed our respective tasks. But since Comrade Lin said so, we will go and help now."
Being scolded in public by a little girl, the smile on Old Man Qian's face could hardly be maintained.
But now they are in a desperate situation and being bullied by dogs, so they can only keep their heads down and behave themselves.
He immediately called on others to go to the cowshed to help.
Seeing this, Lin Ran didn't bother them anymore. Although she knew they might be lying, she still gave them a warning.
"I will come here to check from time to time in the future. I hope that the situation today will not happen again next time."
No matter what the people headed by Old Man Qian thought in their hearts, they nodded repeatedly to assure him.
But when they came out and saw Lin Meng not far behind Lin Ran, their faces changed instantly.
Especially the shrewd old man Qian, he was already having conspiracy theories in his mind at this moment.
He was saying, how could there be a fool who would send them food for free every day, and in the end it turned out that he was trying to make trouble for them on purpose.
Yes, they all thought that Lin Meng had secretly reported Lin Ran and called her over.
Everyone looked at Lin Meng with murderous eyes.
Lin Meng was secretly happy that Lin Ran had offended all these future bigwigs, which would give her a better chance.
Unexpectedly, when I looked up, I was met with so many cold gazes, and I was completely stunned.
What's going on?
Didn't she just not listen to them and insisted on delivering sweet potatoes to Meng Chengwang, and that's why she was so angry?
Lin Meng didn't understand what was going on, but Lin Ran knew it clearly. She curled the corners of her lips slightly and felt a little sympathetic to Lin Meng.
You say that she has worked so hard for so many days and now she is back to the time before liberation. That is not true. Maybe she is even worse than before liberation.
After all, they were strangers before and had no mutual interests, but now they are direct enemies.
But it's not her fault, it was she who insisted on staying.
Thinking of this, Lin Ran asked in a good mood:
"Cousin, are we going to the back mountain to roast sweet potatoes?"
Lin Meng was so depressed now that she had no mood to roast sweet potatoes, but the words had been said, and even if she was reluctant, she had no choice but to agree.
"That's the only place we can go. Let's hurry up."
As he said that, he took the lead and walked towards the back mountain.
After the two arrived at the back mountain one after the other, Lin Ran used the excuse of going out to find some mushrooms and let Lin Meng roast them first.
Before leaving, she held her breath and used a handkerchief to fan a little bit of the drug onto Lin Meng's face.
Then he immediately found a place nearby where he could see this place and hid there.
Although Lin Ran took a small amount of medicine, the effect was still good. After about a minute, Lin Meng fainted on the ground.
Lin Ran then came out. She first covered Lin Meng's eyes tightly with a black cloth, and then tied her hands and feet with ropes.
Only after she was sure that the person could not see or move did she put him into the space.
Then he found a hidden place and followed him into the space.
Lin Ran was not in a hurry to wake the person up, but made some preparations.
First, she changed into men's clothes scented with ambergris, put on a pair of gloves, and covered her face and neck.
Anyway, I won’t give Lin Meng any chance to recognize me.
When everything was ready, she kicked Lin Meng awake.
