Chapter 98 Hey, don't go too far.
"Who are you? State your name."
Sanqi looked at the group and frowned slightly: "I have a past relationship with Doctor Jiang, and I have urgent business with her. Please ask you all to call Doctor Jiang out to talk."
Xiao Xuanting recognized the person and immediately hid inside the house, peeking out through the crack in the door.
Lu Shizhu frowned: "How come I didn't know that Anuan had someone like you from the past? Why don't you give your name? Your evasive words must be suspicious!"
Little Baozhu, however, said in a clear voice, "Mother said not to open the door to strangers."
Xiao Er immediately nodded: "Yes, A Nuan also said not to talk to strangers."
Lu Shizhu glanced at the two of them: "Is that so?"
The two younger ones nodded in unison: "Yes."
Then Sanqi watched as these people entered the house with lightning speed.
The door slammed shut.
Sanqi frowned immediately: "You..."
The next second, Lu Shizhu opened the door again and came out. In his sight, he quickly picked up the large black dog that was tied up and went into the house together.
The door slammed shut again.
Sanqi: "."
Looking at the shaky window and the dilapidated wooden door, he hesitated whether to kick it open and rush into the house.
After thinking for a moment, he knocked on the wooden door, squatted down and said to them through the crack in the door, "I have come here today because I really have important business to discuss with Doctor Jiang. Please open the door and let me in."
Lü Shizhu crossed his arms: "No way."
Sanqi: "Why?"
Lü Shizhu: "How do I know if you're a bad person? What if you come in to harm us?"
I don't know where this pretty boy came from, he's just annoying to look at.
Another one trying to get close to Ah Nuan? Trying to steal my business? Dream on!
Now, Ah Nuan trusts me the most. After she went out, she entrusted the whole family to me to take care of. It can be seen how much she trusts me!
Sanqi frowned: "I'm not a bad person, on the contrary, I'm one of our own."
"One of our own?" Lu Shizhu looked suspicious. "If we're one of our own, why haven't we ever seen you before? Have you seen us?"
The three children behind him all shook their heads and said in unison, "Never seen it before."
Lü Shizhu: "Look, we don't even know you. Who do you think you are? Get out of here!"
Sanqi's handsome brows furrowed tightly: "What will it take before you open the door?"
Lu Shizhu narrowed his eyes: "You can come in if you want, but do you see that water vat by the door?"
Sanqi looked over and nodded: "I saw it."
Lu Shizhu said, "Fill that water vat full, and I'll believe you're one of us!"
Sanqi pointed to his nose in disbelief: "You want me to fetch water?"
Lu Shizhu nodded immediately: "That's right, how do we know if you're one of us if you don't do any work?"
Sanqi paused for a moment, a hint of confusion flashing in her clear eyes: "You believe me just because I fetched water?"
"That's natural."
Then he picked up the bucket, asked for the location of the well, and went back and forth four times before he finally filled the bucket with water.
He wiped the sweat from his face, tossed the cloth through the crack in the door, and peered inside: "Hey, can I come in now?"
Lu Shizhu shook his head: "No, no."
Sanqi: "Why?"
"Just fetching water isn't enough to prove you're one of us. Sweep the floor."
Sanqi huffed and puffed as he picked up the broom and started sweeping. After he finished cleaning the floor, he wiped his sweat and said, "Is this alright now?"
"You've set the fire on fire again."
Sanqi, unable to bear it any longer, jumped up and shouted, "Hey, don't go too far!"
"This is the last time. Light the fire, and I'll trust you."
"I didn't believe your nonsense!"
Then
Sanqi squatted down next to the stove and bent over to light the fire.
The smoke rising from the stove pit perfectly matched his angry yet aggrieved expression.
Before the fire could even be lit, the door at the back suddenly creaked open.
Lu Shizhu crossed his arms and said, "You've passed the test. You can go in now."
Sanqi gave Lü Shizhu a strange look, and without saying a word, rushed into the house.
However, he had already looked through the three rooms at a glance, and he only saw General Li lying there, but there was no sign of Doctor Jiang. He immediately frowned: "Where is Doctor Jiang?"
Lu Shizhu shrugged: "Anuan isn't home."
"Why didn't you say so sooner!"
"You didn't ask!"
Little Baozhu blinked her big, dark eyes, looking at this person and then that person, when suddenly she covered her mouth and whispered to Li Xiaoer, "Brother, this big brother is so silly. If Mother were home, she would have left long ago, wouldn't she? He still insisted on coming in."
Xiao Er nodded in deep agreement: "Yes, we can't do that again."
Baozhu: "Mmm!"
Sanqi: "."
After a long while, he took a deep breath and asked, "Where did Dr. Jiang go?"
"If you feed the chickens, I'll..."
"My patience has its limits!" Sanqi practically squeezed out these words through clenched teeth, his hand already on the long sword at his waist.
Lu Shizhu touched his nose, coughed lightly, and said, "Anuan went to Canglin and has been gone for a day."
Sanqi: "Cang Lin? What does Cang Lin do?"
"They must have gone to the military camp to look for someone."
Which military camp?
Lü Shizhu: "I don't know about that."
Without saying a word, Sanqi nimbly mounted his horse and rode away.
Lu Shizhu watched his departing figure, crossed her arms and pondered for a while, then suddenly stared at Xiao Er and Xiao Baozhu beside her: "I ask you, am I prettier or is he prettier?"
The children were completely baffled by the question.
Lü Shizhu: "Is he more capable of doing the work, or am I more capable?"
Xiao Er and Bao Zhu exchanged a glance.
The waiter said, "Of course it's Brother Lü!"
Baozhu: "That's right, that's right! In our hearts, no one can compare to Brother Lü!"
The young master immediately grinned, looking like a complete idiot: "Sit here quickly, Brother Lü will make you something delicious later."
Xiao Xuan Ting: "."
He shook his little head and chuckled.
However, he still had doubts. If he remembered correctly, that person should be one of Doctor Que's people. Why would he go to Aunt Nuan?
There seems to be more to the story than meets the eye.
After resting for a night, Ah Nuan got up the next morning, cut four catties of pork with alternating layers of fat and lean meat, took two bags of pastries, bought a basket of fresh fruits, and headed to the military camp.
Before they even reached the encampment, they were stopped.
Looking at the menacing blade, Jiang Nuanzhi smiled and said, "Gentlemen, I would be so kind as to do you a favor. I came to Canglin from Gu Kui City on business, and I'm just passing by to bring some food for Shen Wenshu's family. Would you mind letting them know?"
The two guards exchanged a glance, then looked at what Jiang Nuanzhi was holding, and couldn't help but swallow hard.
One of the younger boys said, "This is a military camp, and it's inconvenient to go in or out. You should put your things down and we'll take them in to Shen Wenshu for you. You should leave quickly."
