Chapter 40 Who Provoked the Female Devil?
Bai Li didn't wait for the old lady to change her mind. He quickly tied up the bags and carried the flour and rice to the stilt house.
There is no kitchen downstairs, and the stove is shared with Bai Yue's family. It is safer to eat in the stilt house.
There was too much flour, so Li Mingyue and her two sisters-in-law stayed to help. Mrs. Li was distressed and said, "What a spendthrift woman! She really doesn't know how to live."
Li Mingyue found it funny. Only her daughter could control the old lady. Who else would dare?
Aunt Bai boiled some hot water to knead the dough, Li Mingyue removed the bones of half a pig, Mrs. Mu cut a piece of meat with the right amount of fat and lean meat to chop into stuffing, and Mrs. Yang took out some dried wild vegetables she had dug up on the road and soaked them in hot water. She would chop them and mix them into the meat stuffing, which would be fresh, fragrant and delicious.
Although Bai Li wanted pure meat filling, he reluctantly accepted it when he saw the wild vegetables had a unique fragrance.
After the white flour is kneaded, it can fill a large basin, and after it has risen, it can fill two small basins.
Bai Li guessed that there wasn't enough meat filling, and the remaining meat had already been marinated and stored by Li, so he had to think of another way.
When she came down from the stilt house again, the basket in her hand was full of dried wood ear mushrooms and a handful of fresh leeks.
These are all things from the space. The wood ear mushrooms are from the Zhao family’s warehouse, and the leeks are grown by Golden Hair.
Just to cut this bunch of leeks, I was almost entangled by the three little ones and couldn't get away.
They had tasted the feeling of roaming in the natural forest and were clamoring to get out, refusing to stay in the space.
"Wow! Where did you dig such fresh wild vegetables?"
Mu saw it with sharp eyes and quickly went over to take it.
Bai Li: Oh, so they treat leeks as wild vegetables.
"Wash these vegetables, chop them up and mix them into the stuffing. It's delicious."
They had eaten wood ear mushrooms before, so needless to say, it was the first time they knew that leeks could be used as stuffing.
However, everyone now has inexplicable trust in Bai Li, so they did whatever she said. As a result, when the dumplings came out of the pot, the youngest Bai Liulang almost cried with greed!
Li Mingyue cooked a big pot of plump dumplings. Bai Li couldn't wait for her father to come back, so she picked up a bowl and ate it first.
Seeing that everyone was very hungry, Li waved her hand and said, "No need to wait! Eat first, and we'll cook when they come back."
A lot of white flour was kneaded, and after making more than a hundred dumplings, two-thirds of the dough was still left. If the whole family ate it, they could have enough for two meals.
Bai Li was not satisfied after eating one bowl of dumplings, so she asked her mother to steam a pot of dumplings for her.
If you can’t finish the steamed food, you can just heat it up and eat it tomorrow. Li Mingyue agreed with her daughter.
The dumplings were steaming in the pot. Li Mingyue took the bowl and sat next to the stove to eat so that she could watch the fire more conveniently.
But as she ate the delicious dumplings, she began to cry.
Bai Li was horrified when he saw this!
"Mom, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Li Mingyue quickly wiped away her tears, forced a smile and said, "Mom is fine, the smoke just irritated her eyes."
Sitting on the wooden block outside eating dumplings, Li and others were eating dumplings and chatting, and the two little ones, Bai Yu and Bai Liulang, were eating and playing. They did not hear the conversation between the mother and daughter, and Li Mingyue just wanted to fool them.
But who is Bai Li? She saw through her mother's little thoughts at a glance.
"Mom, don't lie to me, I saw it all."
"Li'er, keep your voice down."
Li Mingyue couldn't hide it, so she could only whisper, "Mom misses your second brother. He was kidnapped and there has been no news since then..."
Li Mingyue choked up again before she could finish her words.
"Your grandmother doesn't know about this. You can't let her hear about it."
Bai Li nodded in agreement, then walked outside with a gloomy face.
She almost forgot about her second brother, damn it!
But the one who deserved death was the Mongolian who captured her second brother.
"Hey, Li'er, where are you going?"
Mu asked casually when he saw it.
"The dumplings aren't cooked yet. I'm going out for a walk."
Bai Li made an excuse and walked out of the house. Feeling depressed, he just wanted to walk around.
"Stop, you can't go any further."
A soldier stopped her. She looked up blankly and remembered that she was now a prisoner and could only move around in the village where she was exiled. If she left the village, she had to be watched by the village chief or someone from the military camp.
She turned back irritably, not knowing where to go for a moment. After thinking about it, she decided to sit by the river and enjoy the breeze.
By the river, Shangguan Yu received the errand and went to do it.
Just as Nangong Min was about to return to the military camp, he saw Bai Li with an unhappy look on his face.
Who offended this female devil?
Bai Li, immersed in her own world, almost bumped into a wall of people. Fortunately, she reacted quickly enough and reached out to push, almost making the unsuspecting Nangong Min stagger.
"Why are you here?"
Bai Li was about to curse, but changed his words when he saw that it was him.
Nangong Min rubbed his chest. This woman must be made of iron. Her hands are as hard as iron fists!
Tsk tsk, I don’t know which unlucky man married this tough woman. Just thinking about hugging her makes me feel uncomfortable.
"Hey, what are you thinking about? Why don't you answer my question?"
In Bai Li's eyes, there is no distinction between high and low official positions. In the end times, she is already the top star, and everyone respects her.
Naturally, he wouldn't be polite to Nangong Min just because he knew he was a major general.
“I came here to wait for someone, and was about to go back when the wait ended.
Why is Miss Bai here?"
"Take a walk and relax, isn't it okay?"
"no……"
Nangong Min looked up and saw that the sun was still high in the west. Shouldn't she be working in the fields at this moment?
Is it because she is so strong-willed that no one dares to control her?
He was in the military camp, so naturally he didn't know that she had completed the task ahead of schedule or even exceeded the target.
Nangong Min didn't want to meddle in other people's business because the person being meddled in was her.
Just as he was about to leave, Bai Li stopped him.
"Hey, if you're not busy, can we chat?"
Nangong Min was stunned. There was something wrong with this female devil.
He pointed to a large rock in front and said, "Go sit there!"
In late autumn, it is not hot when the sun is shining brightly, and it is not cold when the breeze is blowing coolly. Everything is just right.
"Tell me, how can I gain my freedom and go wherever I want?"
Bai Li was lost in thought just now because of this, but she tried every possible way, including rebelling against the emperor and disobeying his order to save her second brother, but it still didn't work.
Rebellion requires soldiers. No matter how good she is at fighting, she can't defeat an army of thousands. Soldiers also need weapons, food, and fodder. They also need to deploy troops and make all kinds of plans... By the time she defeats the emperor and leads the army to rescue her second brother, it will be too late!
Nangong Min looked at her with amusement: "Your father's crime is not small, it's not easy to be free."
Bai Li's eyes lit up. "So there's a chance? Tell me quickly, what does it take?"
"Where do you want to go?"
"Go to Mengguo."
"Why do you want to go? Our country and Mongolia don't have diplomatic relations, so we can't just go there casually."
Bai Li choked. Of course she couldn't say that she knew she couldn't go openly, so she planned to charge in alone.
"Just tell me how I can be free. Why are you talking so much?"
Bai Li rolled his eyes at him unhappily. A grown man talking so much was even more feminine than a woman.
