Chapter 209 Stealing Vegetables
Seeing Nan Xuan staring at him, Jing Zhen pursed his lips and asked, "Can I... go back?"
"Well, you know to ask for my opinion. That's good." Nan Xuan smiled.
Thinking back to the last time they had a fight, the brat even dared to smash the table at him. He has really grown up now.
"Going back is naturally impossible," he said. "Even though Ye Jinghua has been sent to guard the border, he will definitely be recalled for the New Year. If you show up, all our efforts over the years will be wasted."
"Then Master means..." Jing Zhen pondered for a moment, "Meet Big Brother outside the palace?"
"Smart," Nan Xuan patted his shoulder, "Since you said you want to meet, then let you two brothers meet, and I will arrange the rest."
"Thank you, Master." Jing Zhen said.
Nan Xuan smiled and waved his hand: "What are you thanking me for? You and Jingtian haven't seen each other for several years."
"Okay, let's go find the stinky girl and the stupid boy. If we delay for too long, they will get suspicious."
Jingzhen nodded and turned to leave.
In the valley at the foot of the back mountain, Baoya and Yun Chenglu were checking the greenhouse.
The two men lifted the curtain and entered the greenhouse, and sure enough, they saw that the soybeans they had planted before had grown into green bean sprouts, in rows and rows, which were particularly neat and pleasing.
"Second brother, do you think we have succeeded like this?" Baoya squatted down, stretched out her little hand to touch one of the tender leaves, and asked.
Yun Chenglu nodded: "That should be the case, but I think it's better to wait until they actually produce pods."
"Well," Baoya nodded, "then let's go get some water and water the little bean sprouts."
"Okay." Yun Chenglu responded, and the two of them slowly walked out of the greenhouse, one in front and one behind.
As a result, he ran into Jingzhen who was carrying two buckets of water.
Baoya ran over with her short legs: "Brother Xiaojing, have you finished your homework?"
Jingzhen nodded and put down two wooden barrels filled with water.
"That's good." The little girl patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief. "I thought that someone like Brother Xiaojing, who learns everything so well and quickly, wouldn't be punished."
She felt that people like herself, with short arms and legs and uncoordinated limbs, should be the ones to be punished.
Jingzhen walked over and pinched the little tuft of hair on her head, and replied, "How could that be? No one is perfect. I also have times when I don't do my homework well."
Baoya thought about it and it seemed to be true, so she nodded, took a ladle from the wooden barrel, and scooped water to water the bean sprouts.
It was Yun Chenglu who stopped Jingzhen who was about to go into the greenhouse with Baoya.
He said mysteriously, "Brother Jing, you can fool Baoya, but you can't fool me. Master's decision to keep you here is related to that man in black just now?"
Yun Chenglu seems to have always been very sensitive in this regard.
Jing Zhen nodded helplessly and began to talk nonsense seriously: "Well, he is actually running errands for Hongdouxuan to deliver snacks. He just finished delivering to one household and came to report to the master."
"Really?" Yun Chenglu looked unconvinced. The man in black seemed to be very good at lightness skills, so how could he be just a snack deliveryman?
"Then his Qinggong..."
"It's not unusual for someone delivering snacks to be able to do Qinggong," Jing Zhen said. "It's much faster than walking or riding a horse."
"Oh..." It seems like "Oh".
Yun Chenglu felt that what Jing Zhen said made some sense and nodded.
But then I thought again, it doesn’t seem right. Why would a snack deliveryman need to wear a sword? It’s not a dangerous job!
"Hey, but Senior Brother Jing..."
He opened his mouth to ask Jingzhen again, but when he looked up, he was gone.
Okay, Yun Chenglu scratched his head, picked up the ladle in the bucket, scooped some water, and went into the greenhouse to water the bean sprouts.
Since Jingzhen and his master didn't want to say it, he wouldn't ask. Anyway, he and Baoya had already entered this door, and they would know it sooner or later.
After the three children finished watering the beans and walked back with the empty buckets, Baoya told Jingzhen that she wanted to pick vegetables to feed the rabbits.
Jingzhen looked up at the room with open windows on the second floor of the small bamboo building.
"Master has been obsessed with playing chess with himself lately, so he probably won't notice. Let's move quickly."
Baoya nodded seriously: "Okay!"
Yun Chenglu felt helpless as he watched the two of them singing in unison. Suddenly, he remembered a word his elder brother had taught him: childhood sweethearts.
I inexplicably feel that this description is very suitable for Baoya and Jingzhen.
While he was muttering to himself, Baoya and Jingzhen had already entered the vegetable garden and started picking vegetables.
Cabbages with water droplets hanging on them, fresh green leafy vegetables, tall and thin wormwood, and even sweet, crispy and delicious radishes!
The two of them filled a basket in one breath. Baoya stood at the edge of the field, holding the basket. Her little face was covered with mud, making her look like a little cat.
Jingzhen patiently wiped her clean with his sleeve.
Yun Chenglu stood at the entrance of the vegetable garden, stunned: "You two..."
"What?" Jing Zhen raised his eyebrows.
Yun Chenglu pointed at the vegetable garden, which looked like it had been ravaged by the two men and was in a terrible state of ruin. "I think if Master finds out, he'll beat you two to death."
After Yun Chenglu said this, Jingzhen and Baoya also noticed it belatedly.
I was having so much fun picking just now that I forgot about the consequences.
"What should we do, Brother Jing?" Baoya tugged at the corner of Jingzhen's clothes, her little face wrinkled into a bun.
Jingzhen held his chin with one hand and was thinking of a solution when the lonely king suddenly ran over from somewhere and walked around the three of them, wagging his tail and sticking out his tongue like a big dog.
"Got it." Jing Zhen stared at the lonely king and said.
"Huh?" Baoya hasn't reacted yet.
Jingzhen was seen carrying the skin of the king's neck and entering the vegetable garden. He pressed the silly snow wolf and stepped on it in the vegetable garden, leaving many wolf paw prints.
Then he held its head and bit off several cabbages.
After coming out, he carefully wiped away the footprints left by himself and Baoya.
Baoya: ...
Yun Chenglu: ...
As soon as the lonely prince was released, he squatted at the gate of the vegetable garden and spit out vegetable leaves in big mouthfuls. After spitting, he glared at Jingzhen with a resentful look on his face.
Baoya felt a little distressed when she saw its little eyes, so she squatted down and stroked its fur.
"Brother Xiaojing, will Master beat me to death?"
The lonely king who was flattered: ...
Suddenly the wolf trembled.
Jingzhen's face was stern as he glanced at the room on the second floor where the curtains were fluttering in the wind.
He said calmly, "Don't worry, Master doesn't beat dogs."
"But..." Yun Chenglu swallowed his saliva, "I am not a dog!"
"Oh," Jingzhen said, "he probably doesn't fight wolves either."
He still remembered a sentence his master often said: Dogs are good friends of humans, and we cannot hurt them.
Although I am a snow wolf, wolves and dogs are of the same origin, so I should be... fine.
