Chapter 378: The Wind of Freedom
"You know all about this." Xiang Nuan looked at Uncle Huo.
“This is just the beginning.”
She nodded and smiled faintly. She didn't know why she suddenly thought of Shen Sumei. She used to be so resolute.
"That's it, Uncle Huo. Now that things have come to this, let them go. There's no need to bother with them."
This was not what she should have said. She should have let them know the consequences of messing with the wrong person. She shouldn't have waited so long. She should have taken revenge right then and there.
"Master, I just pushed them gently, but once they start, they can't stop just because they want to. We don't need to do anything now, they will kill each other on their own."
When a person is about to die... Xiang Nuan shook her head, and quickly drove this "unlucky" thought out of her mind. She wanted to say that she should forgive others when she can, or that it is better to resolve a feud than to create one, but she also wanted to slap herself hard in the face to wake herself up and drive out the pedantic and moldy hypocrisy in her mind.
Cheer up, you are Xiang Nuan!
"If the Jin family hadn't abandoned Zhai Jinpeng so completely, he wouldn't have been so desperate. I wonder what Jin Nuoyi is doing now... Alas." Xiang Nuan sighed softly, and actually felt a little sympathetic towards her. Jiang Chao wanted independence, so why didn't she want freedom too? !
"You are too kind-hearted. There is no room for emotions in the game of capital." Uncle Huo shook his head gently.
Jiang Ranran was in no mood to listen to this. He just stared at Xiang Nuan eagerly.
"Do you still want to go back to sleep?" His concern for her was real, but his desire for her to play with him was also real.
"Hmm..." She stretched and smiled, "No need to sleep! How about we go fishing with Grandpa? I need to breathe some fresh air."
"Really!" Jiang Ranran jumped three feet high, she couldn't believe her ears.
"Can you... do it?" Uncle Huo was still worried.
"We won't go far. Let's find the nearest stream."
"Go ahead, go ahead. I want to go fishing too! I'll make fish soup from it to nourish my mother!"
Wow, Jiang Ranran actually still has this intention? ! Xiang Nuan and Uncle Huo were so shocked that they laughed at each other.
After not going out for a long time, the fresh wind awakened Xiang Nuan's vitality. She knew nothing about fishing, but she prepared all the cooking utensils and seasonings, focusing on eating freshly caught fish.
"Ranran, how many fish are you going to catch today?" Xiang Nuan teased Ranran to cheer him up.
Ranran stretched out a small palm, thought for a moment, and retracted two fingers.
"Three!" he vowed.
"So how do you want to eat?"
“Braised, steamed, sweet and sour!”
He actually asked and answered questions, sounding like a little cooking god. Xiang Nuan pinched his nose and smiled, "Then we have to move the kitchen over there as well."
The three of them were talking and laughing all the way, as if they had already seen schools of fish jumping for joy, but they were truly dumbfounded when they reached the stream.
The stream water is not so clear that you can see the bottom at a glance, but it is so shallow that you can see the end at a glance. It is not the rainy season now, and the water volume has dropped sharply. Only a small stream as wide as a forearm is stubbornly meandering. Not to mention fish, I am afraid I can't even catch two tadpoles.
Jiang Ranran was unwilling to give in. She stared at it again and again, unable to help but feel aggrieved and angry.
"What should I do?" He seemed more like someone who had been depressed for too long than Xiang Nuan.
"Let's just... take a walk, bask in the sun, look at the trees, and get some fresh air..." Uncle Huo was helpless. He was so happy that his wife could go out that he forgot about the water problem.
Ah——Jiang Ranran screamed, what kind of thunderbolt is this? !
"Then let's walk along the stream. Maybe there will be a pond or something upstream." Xiang Nuan suggested.
They went upstream along the stream and came to the bottom of a ditch. Not only did the water flow not increase, but it completely disappeared.
"Where's the water?"
"Uh...underground?"
Jiang Ranran fell to the ground with his four legs up in the air. His movement was so loud that it startled several birds in the forest and made them fly up.
“How many birds?”
Xiang Nuan knew he would say that, so she smiled and said, "How about we go eat roast duck later?"
Jiang Ranran sighed helplessly, and at such a young age, he still lamented the helplessness of life.
"Are you looking for a fish pond?" Suddenly a loud voice came from the slope. The three looked up and saw a middle-aged man with a dog looking down at them.
"Is there a fish pond nearby?" Uncle Huo asked.
"Yes, go this way and go around that path and you will get there."
Hearing the news of the fish, Jiang Ranran suddenly became excited again. But Xiang Nuan was a little hesitant, after all, the fish in the fish pond were farmed, which was not the purpose of their going out to fish.
"It's the same as the fish you eat." Xiang Nuan gave him a heads-up in advance.
"Don't we just want to eat?"
Well, it seems that we must catch this little guy and put him in the pot today. So the three of them headed towards the fish pond again.
Fishing in the fish pond was a piece of cake. Uncle Huo had no interest in even starting fishing, but Jiang Ranran was so excited that he felt like he had discovered a new world. He hugged a fish that was almost as tall as him and smiled from ear to ear. If the fish hadn't been so strong and had slapped him several times with its big tail, he would have jumped into the pot with the fish.
"You guys even brought the pot and seasonings?" The fish pond owner was also crazy. It was the first time he saw someone eating while fishing by the fish pond.
The meat of this big fish is thick, but the freshness is a little lacking. In addition, Xiang Nuan's fish cooking skills are really hard to describe. No matter how much seasoning is added, there is always a lingering fishy smell.
"Ugh..." Jiang Ranran's face wrinkled like an old man after taking a mouthful of fish soup. He even suspected that the fish had been swapped. This taste was definitely not the lovely big fish he had caught.
"The boss said that it would be more flavorful if it was cooked longer." Xiang Nuan tried to make excuses for herself.
Uncle Huo tasted it carefully, and although he managed his expression very well, he decisively put down the spoon.
"Is it really that bad? How bad can such a delicious fish be?!"
Xiang Nuan looked at their reactions and couldn't believe it, so she picked up a piece of meat and put it into her mouth.
"It's OK..."
Before she finished her words, she felt a discomfort in her stomach. No way? Could it be that it was so unpalatable that it was poisonous? But she had to swallow it down, pretending to be calm and taking a sip of the soup to calm herself.
this--
She really didn't have Uncle Huo's ability, and she grimaced uncontrollably.
"It's all because Uncle Huo usually cooks such delicious meals. This... is actually... not bad."
She raised an eyebrow at Jiang Ranran, wanting to encourage him to take another bite, but the nauseous feeling became more and more unbearable.
She covered her mouth, suppressing the urge to vomit. Jiang Ranran laughed at her embarrassing look. Is it okay to make yourself vomit while cooking? !
Uncle Huo patted her back gently: "You've been playing in the cold water for a long time. Maybe you caught a cold."
Xiang Nuan knew that Uncle Huo was trying to save her face, but this time she really couldn't help it. She waved her hands and quickly hid to the side and vomited.
My God, this is too stupid. She couldn't even imagine how miserable she looked now. Not to mention the soup just now, she even vomited out everything she had eaten at home.
It took her a while to catch her breath, and she saw Uncle Huo staring at her blankly and asking for no reason: "How long have you felt sick..."
