Chapter 215 Remote and Impoverished Areas
"Ahem, Rui'er, never mind, it's probably not his fault."
An elderly man nearby pulled He Rui along.
He Rui retorted, "If it weren't for him, who else could it be..."
Old He quickly covered his mouth, "I'm sorry, my apprentice is a bit stubborn and sometimes can't think straight. He wronged your son!"
Ye Wan didn't explain when she saw that they had misunderstood Sanya as a boy.
Looking at Old He, he said, "You two seem to be from out of town. If you've lost your money, do you need help keeping it safe?"
The accents of these two people don't sound like those of locals.
"There are so many people coming and going on the street, we don't know when the money bag was lost. Even if we report it to the authorities, we probably won't be able to get it back."
"We, master and disciple, have nowhere to go. We wonder if this lady could take us in for the night?"
Old He felt that the lady in front of him was good-looking and spoke eloquently, and must be a person of high status.
"Are you Taoist priests?" Ye Wan looked at the two men's attire and their master-disciple relationship, and felt that they were somewhat similar.
"Uh...yes." Old He nodded.
"Since that's the case, there is a place where people can stay. Let's consider it a good deed."
After Ye Wan finished speaking, she looked at He Rui and said, "I think it's necessary to explain that my child is not short of money and would not steal your money."
He Rui frowned, looked at Sanya without saying a word.
Ye Wan left with her three children.
Sanya turned around and grinned, "I told you to stay somewhere else, why are you following us?"
Are you going to falsely accuse her of being a thief?
"We don't know the way." He Rui blushed slightly.
They just pointed out a general direction; who could possibly find that?
"Come on, I'll lead the way."
Sanya told Ye Wan and led the way.
Ye Wan secretly instructed Hui Gu to follow them.
"Remember to come back early, and don't wander off," Ye Wan gently instructed Sanya.
Sanya's eyes sparkled, and she nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
“Mother, these two people must be someone important,” Daya said.
"I can tell, but there's no malice in their eyes. Let's see what they're up to first."
With Hui Gu following along, Ye Wan wasn't worried about San Ya and went back to sit down.
The football match on the field has already begun.
Ye Wan saw a familiar figure.
"It's a fish." Ye Hua saw it too.
"He's here too." After saying that, she turned to look at Ye Wan.
This fish is very attentive whenever it sees Ye Wan in the field.
Ye Wan smiled and said, "I heard there's a silver reward for winning. What's so surprising about going? Sanya wanted to go too, but they didn't want someone as young as her."
Ye Hua watched Ye Wan for a while and saw that she was only interested in Cuju (ancient Chinese football) and didn't even glance at Yu'er. She was a little envious.
I envy her unwavering composure.
If it were her...
...
...
There were many people along the way.
He Rui looked serious.
Old He looked around.
"There are quite a lot of people here. I originally thought this place would be particularly desolate, a poor and remote area, but I didn't expect it to be such a lively scene."
You can tell what a place is like by looking at its people.
There were many children running around, all of them very happy, unlike the emaciated refugees.
Old He sighed, "Years ago when I was traveling, I saw some children waiting at people's back doors to collect manure, saying they would dry it and use it for cooking. The children here don't have to collect manure, that's so nice."
Sanya glanced at the old man and said, "A crop is like a flower, and it all depends on manure. We can sell the manure here, so who would throw it outside for no reason?"
Sell it for money?
He Rui was shocked.
"Don't look at me like that. Why would I lie to you? Besides pig manure, cow manure, sheep manure, and chicken manure, I also need human excrement."
Sanya thought this person really seemed unsophisticated.
Manure is a valuable resource for farmers, so of course it needs to be collected; no one would just throw it away.
"Why collect so much manure?" He Rui asked, puzzled.
"Didn't I just say that we should plant vegetables and grains, and fertilize them?" Sanya thought this person wasn't very bright and had a bad memory.
Why ask such a simple question?
He Rui looked constipated.
Sanya said, "What kind of expression is that? The grains and vegetables you eat are all fertilized, otherwise they wouldn't grow well."
He Rui didn't want to talk anymore.
Old He, on the other hand, kept talking to Sanya and asked her many questions.
Sanya said what she could say, and said she didn't know what she couldn't say.
"What is this?" Old He asked as he passed by a lush green field.
“Oh, it’s a local specialty,” Sanya replied.
That's what her mother said.
"A local specialty? Is it edible?" Old He continued to ask.
"Of course you can eat it. Look, we're almost there. This is your lunch today."
Sanya led the people to a row of connected houses and pointed to one of them.
After leading the person inside, an old lady brought out lunch.
He Rui looked at the bright yellow, unfamiliar stick and asked, "What is this?"
"Our food, corn, do you want some? If not, I'll take it away."
Sanya had no intention of giving the food to the person who had wronged her.
She loves to eat it herself.
He Rui frowned, "Why are you so rude? I think your mother has a pretty good temper, but you..."
"You falsely accused me of stealing your money, and you expect me to be nice to you!" Sanya glared at her.
"He Rui, you should thank them for providing us with accommodation despite their past grievances," Old He said with a dry cough.
He said to Sanya, "I'm sorry, young master, my disciple sometimes just isn't very bright."
"Oh, you guys eat, I'm leaving now, my mother is waiting for me."
Sanya left, and the two of them stared blankly at the stick on the table.
"Master, how about I pawn some things and then buy some food?" He Rui said.
I'm starving after walking all this time. Are you sure I can eat this thing on the table?
What if they were poisoned...
"Stop thinking nonsense. This is a remote and impoverished place. Do you think poison is free? Eat it."
As he spoke, Lao He picked up an ear of corn. The corn was already peeled when it was brought over, so you could just eat it directly.
"Wow...this tastes really good!"
Old He quickly finished one ear of corn and then turned his attention to the second one.
He Rui: ...
They then divided up half of it.
"I didn't expect to find such delicious food on this trip. It was definitely worth it!"
The old man was full after eating one and a half pieces, and sat in his chair drinking water to aid digestion.
He Rui, who had eaten half of it, was still a little hungry.
Suddenly someone appeared in front of Lao He.
“Sir, someone was watching you just now. After that boy left, the man watched for a while and then left as well.”
Old He immediately perked up. "Oh? It's a secret guard? Can you tell whose they are? Why didn't you catch them?"
Bodyguard: ...
"My subordinates might not be able to defeat her."
