Chapter 253 First Impression of Luhua Town
Fortunately, nothing unusual was found along the way, and Wangcai's restlessness was only a brief moment.
After watching the group leave, Black Wolf rested on the spot and then returned to the mountain behind the village chief's mansion.
Looking up at the bright sunny sky, Black Wolf happily decided to have a good sleep in the cave he had carefully selected, and then go to the house to find out what was going on at night.
These days, Mother Chen always felt that something was wrong in her kitchen, but she looked around and couldn't find out what was wrong.
Cui Qingyi is not a stingy master. Even if she is not at home, she will not withhold food from her servants. Sometimes, Chen Ma will buy some braised meat from the delicatessen outside to satisfy everyone's appetite.
Sometimes she would put the leftovers in the cupboard and cook them for everyone the next day.
But for several days in a row, the meat and vegetables she had collected the night before disappeared without a trace the next morning.
At first, Chen's mother thought that the baby got up and ate secretly on the night of the full moon because he was greedy, so she didn't take it seriously. But when such things happened one after another, Chen's mother became a little uneasy.
Early that morning, when she opened the cupboard, she found that the half roast chicken left over from last night was missing again. Holding her breath, Mother Chen called Man Yue who was washing vegetables over.
Mother Chen feels the most sorry for Man Yue, because she has no parents and her brain has not fully recovered, so she has always taken good care of her. However, this does not allow her to ignore and indulge some of Man Yue's bad habits.
It's true that the master is generous, but as servants, they should also have some sense of propriety and not take advantage of the master's kindness and do whatever they want. They stole food today, but what about the future? Who can guarantee that the servants who have tasted the sweetness will not steal the master's property one day?
If you were caught by the master at that time, there would be no way to get away with it.
Chen Ma said in a serious tone: "Man Yue, tell me honestly why you want to eat in the middle of the night?"
Man Yue was a little frightened when Chen Ma, who had a serious face, grabbed her arm and spoke in a stern tone. Upon hearing that, she immediately shook her head like a rattle, "No, no, no, Man Yue didn't cheat."
Mother Chen knew that Man Yue was a stubborn person and would never lie, but she was stunned when she saw that she denied it without any hesitation.
"If it wasn't you, then who stole it?"
Full moon...who should I ask? How would she know?
When Chen Ma learned that it was not a full moon and she had been eating food in the middle of the night, she felt even more upset. Since it was not a full moon, it proved that there was someone in the mansion who was stealing food while the village chief was away.
She was angry and anxious, thinking that these people were simply confused and didn't know how to cherish the good life they had now.
Mother Chen comforted Man Yue and bought two roast ducks that were roasted until golden and juicy in the evening. She put the rest into the cupboard in front of the people who were having dinner.
That night, Mother Chen hid in the kitchen early. She wanted to see who was so ungrateful as to steal the owner's things again and again.
Mother Chen squatted behind the big water tank and waited until late at night. Just when her feet were numb and she was yawning, thinking that she would return empty-handed tonight, there was a slight noise at the kitchen door.
Aunt Chen hurriedly grabbed the fire poker at hand, thinking to herself that she must teach this thief a lesson today, when the door opened quietly.
The moonlight shone obliquely into the room, and a terrifying shadow slowly walked into Chen Ma's eyes.
At first, Mother Chen thought it was Wangcai who came back, but she had not completely lost her sanity at this moment. Wangcai was more obedient than anyone else in the family, and there was no such thing as him eating secretly.
Moreover, the slow and calm movements of the black shadow on the ground were something that Wangcai did not have.
I don't know when Chen Ma had covered her mouth and nose tightly with one hand.
The black wolf smelled the scent of humans as soon as it entered the door, but it didn't care at all. Its paw pads fell lightly to the ground, and it walked gracefully towards the location of the roast duck.
After mastering some skills, opening the cabinet became a very easy task for Black Wolf.
Seeing that there was more than one roast duck tonight, the black wolf's eyes lit up, and he rolled his tongue and swallowed the small half into his mouth. The crunching sound of bones being chewed fell into Chen Ma's ears and made her feel scared. At this moment, she finally realized clearly that it was the wolf who appeared in the house late at night.
It's a wolf!
Seeing a pair of green animal eyes fixed on her, Mother Chen finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell to the ground with her head tilted.
The black wolf, who had already finished half a roast duck, was taken aback. He was about to finish his meal and say hello to the biped, discussing whether he could try a different dish tomorrow. He was tired of roast duck every day. How about lamb legs? Or skinned rabbit? Anything was fine; he wasn't picky about food at all.
The black wolf had not yet realized that not all two-legged beasts were as fearless as those it had encountered before.
Not all bipeds can bear having their homes robbed by a wolf in the middle of the night.
The unconscious Chen Ma didn't see that the tall black wolf ate and took the remaining whole roast duck in its mouth, then jumped and disappeared into the darkness.
…
The carriage traveled for a whole day. At night, Jingjiu found a place close to the mountains and spent the night in the wild. The next day, they walked for another half day before reaching Luhua Town.
Before entering Luhua Town, even though Cui Qingyi had made preparations, she was still speechless when she actually set foot on the territory of Luhua Town.
She didn't quite understand how the ancestors of Luhua Town found such a place to settle down.
All I could see were mountains, and I couldn't see the road ahead because I was looking at one mountain that was too high to see the other.
Fortunately, carriages can still pass through now, so it’s not so uncomfortable.
It took Cui Qingyi and her group another half morning to finally see a village with inhabitants.
I thought it was a village, but when I got closer I saw a stone tablet with the words Luhua Town standing there.
It is called Luhua Town, but looking around, it turns out that it is not even half as good as Dayan Town.
Not to mention Cui Qingyi, even Taozhi and Aunt Cui were dumbfounded. Xiao Ba spoke frankly: "Master, why did the court choose such a place as your fiefdom? Isn't this a scam?"
Cui Qingyi...is just a swindler!
We were already extremely disappointed, but then Jingjiu, who had gone out to explore the route ahead, came back and told us there was a small inn in the town.
Cui Qingyi... Hehe, this is really unexpected.
It is called an inn, but in fact it is just a two-story wooden house built by a middle-aged couple in their front yard and hung a sign saying "inn".
As they walked towards the inn, Cui Qingyi felt the bumps of the carriage. When she lifted the curtain and took a look, her heart was filled with anger.
It was obvious that this road had been repaired at great expense, but the people who used it had no regard for maintaining it. It was full of potholes and occasionally there were large rocks blocking the road.
That’s all fine and dandy, but what about the donkey dung, sheep dung, and dog shit on the road?
It has to be said that after just one meeting, Cui Qingyi's impression of Luhua Town plummeted to the bottom.
Don’t tell her that people in this era have no awareness of environmental protection. Dayan Town is just a small place, how come people there know how to clean the streets so clean and bright!
