Chapter 53 Aunt Li Sends a Veil



Looking at Xiao Heizi's swift movements, several people opened their mouths in shock.

This time, they really don’t have to eat the giant python’s meat anymore!

"If you don't want to eat it, then don't eat it. Anyway, there is still some food. Before leaving this mountain, I will ask Xiao Heizi to hunt some prey.

Then let’s have some yam rice porridge tonight, and roast some sweet potatoes.

It's a pity that we don't have white flour. If we had white flour, we could make some steamed buns or biscuits as dry food while we rest tonight, and then eat them directly when we are on the road, without wasting time. "

There are so many wild animals in this mountain that it is really dangerous. Chaoge is not worried about himself, but is afraid that something unexpected will happen and the three little ones will get hurt.

She decided to set off as quickly as possible tomorrow. Even if the people from Zhou Dong's village wanted to stop, they would not stop as long as they could move forward.

A day's fatigue cannot compare to the reward of this meal.

In order to reward everyone for their hard work today, Chaoge decided to make yam porridge with the half bowl of rice he got in exchange for the wolf meat.

There is actually not much white rice, just about half a pound.

Perhaps it was because the villagers were reluctant to eat along the way, so in the end only rice was left.

But in order to exchange some wolf meat to satisfy his craving, he reluctantly gave up half a bowl and exchanged it for the meat.

Chaoge thought clearly that instead of keeping the rice, it would be better to enjoy it first.

You have to eat whatever you want. In this environment, you don’t know if there will be any accidents tomorrow. Why not use the good things to fill your stomach first?

Although Aunt Li is older, Chaoge had to be respectful when he saw her at the mansion. But now Aunt Li still has to rely on Chaoge. Not only does Chaoge have a black panther as a guard, but he also has the ability to get food.

Even though she felt bad that the little bit of rice left had to be used to make porridge, she dared not say anything.

The three young ladies all followed Chaoge's lead, so how could she have any say?

"Sister, don't let your imagination run wild.

These grains and white rice were obtained with great difficulty. Those refugees are not fools. How could they exchange them for white flour with us?"

Leng Furong's words shattered Chaoge's fantasy, but Chaoge was already looking forward to signing in to the system after midnight.

After deciding on the food for tonight, Aunt Li immediately took over all the work diligently and started working on her own.

"Little pigeon, you are tired too. Cooking is what I am good at, so just leave it to me. I can't take advantage of you for nothing, right?

From now on, I will take care of all the cooking and firewood collection, just as a way of thanking you for taking me in and giving me something to eat."

Aunt Li is not the kind of person who does things quietly. After all, she has been a servant in the county magistrate's backyard for several years. How can she survive there if she doesn't have a sweet mouth?

She worked efficiently, and at the same time she said some flattering words.

What else could Chaoge say? She was more than happy to have it.

"You're too polite, Aunt Li. But your cooking is definitely better than ours, so I'll leave it to you. We won't be too polite."

When Aunt Li heard Chaoge say this, the smile on her face grew even bigger!

When Chaoge left, Aunt Li went to the nearby area and picked up a lot of firewood. After cooking the yam and rice porridge, she went to the nearby area to pick up some more hay and firewood.

The hardworking figure didn't allow herself to rest for a second, as if she was afraid that Chaoge would despise her for freeloading, and she was tireless.

Anyway, the night was still long and a lot of firewood would be needed. Chaoge was also tired, so he did not stop it.

After Aunt Li left, Chaoge reached out and patted Black Panther: "Uncle Dong rewarded you with such a big piece of python meat. Didn't it help them a lot?"

“Yes, today Xiao Heizi followed those villagers down there and actually rescued a few people, but for some people, even their bodies were not found.

It is said that when they were going down the mountain, they encountered a few wolves again, and it was Xiao Heizi who scared them away and saved them!

Otherwise, big sister, do you think that this python meat can have a share for Heizi?"

When Leng Furong heard Chaoge asking about Black Panther, she told Chaoge everything that had happened before.

Chaoge didn't expect that Black Panther's presence would actually play such a big role.

But those villagers who were rescued must be even more grateful to Zhou Dong, right?

"Yes, I was worried about you, but I didn't expect that Brother Daqiang would go too, otherwise I would have stopped you.

I didn't expect you to agree to it on your own. Fortunately, you came back safe and sound."

The black panther made a low whimpering sound, as if responding to Chaoge's words.

But after all, humans and animals still cannot communicate normally. Chaoge rubbed its head again and started to work.

With the addition of Aunt Li, naturally one more set of bowls and chopsticks had to be made. She planned to make not only another wooden bowl, but also a few wooden spoons and chopsticks.

In fact, it is more convenient to do these things with bamboo, but I was so busy with my work before that I forgot to put some bamboo in the space. Now I can’t find any excuse or reason.

In case it was inconvenient to clean them, Chaoge also carved words on each of their wooden bowls and spoons to distinguish them.

If there is really no chance to get out water to wash the dishes, everyone can just use their own dishes and chopsticks for the next meal. Although it is unhygienic, who can care so much at this time?

Looking at the crooked words carved by Chaoge, Leng Liecheng looked at her with an even more complicated look.

"Little pigeon, look what Auntie made for you?"

After picking up firewood and looking at the porridge in the pot, Aunt Li quickly opened her bag and took something out for Chaoge.

"veil?"

Chaoge ignored Aunt Li's flattering smile, took the thing and opened it, and unexpectedly found it was a lotus pink veil.

"Well, it was originally a handkerchief that I brought back for my eldest granddaughter, and I altered it and made it into a veil.

I also heard from your second sister that your face was scratched by refugees who were robbing you.

The old lady knew that women cared most about their appearance.

In such difficult times, a woman’s appearance is even more…”

At this point, Aunt Li stopped talking in a hurry, patted her mouth quickly, and continued: "Look at your broken mouth, Aunt, you are disfigured, you must be sad and upset.

Well, just cover it up a bit so that others won’t see it and it will affect your mood.”

How could Chaoge not know what Aunt Li wanted to say, so she didn't continue, but nodded gratefully at Aunt Li: "Thank you very much, Aunt Li. With this veil, it can indeed make others look at me less, and I won't scare some timid people."

"Big sister, if there is a chance one day, I will definitely help you find the world's miraculous medicine to restore your appearance."

Chaoge didn't care much and nodded with a smile.

But in Leng Liecheng's eyes, this expression seemed to be pretending to be strong.

"Really? Then my love for you is not in vain. I'll remember it. Thank you in advance."
