Chapter 106 The Master's Fiancée
A group of people immediately expressed their firm stance.
"That's not too much! We take turns fetching water for your house every day!"
"Okay, I can't force you to do this. Whether you can fulfill your promise in the future depends on your conscience! I'm going to talk to the officials now. You guys go back and get the bucket."
Sang Ning walked ten meters with the child when a unified shout came from behind: "Thank you, thank you, mother!"
It's so scary!
I got goosebumps.
No, this is because he took a shit without covering his face. He is totally shameless, right?
What she didn't expect was that Huo Jingya turned around and shouted, "Why don't you thank me, your aunt?"
Real tiger!
Sang Ning dragged the child and ran away.
Don’t know her!
Next to the new well, a stone tablet was erected, still called Moon Spring.
It is from the same source as the original Moon Spring and has the same water quality, so there is no need to test whether it is drinkable or not.
The well mouth and well wall have just been repaired, and a thick layer of pebbles has been laid underneath. It will take a few days for the water to become clear.
The water we pump out now is still sewage, but it is drinkable. Just let it sit for a while when you get home.
The people have been short of water for a long time and are now queuing up to get water. There are a lot of people on the scene.
There was a team of officers guarding here, and Sang Ning saw Ding San was also there.
She squeezed forward and told him about the people in the village who were restricted from getting water.
"Okay, Madam Sang, I'll go to the government office and have their restrictions lifted."
The control in Liangzhou is very strict. People who are issued a restriction cannot get water. If they violate the restriction and are reported, the consequences will be serious.
This is also the reason why those people call Sang Ning their mother all day long.
"By the way, let me ask you, what is the relationship between your county governor and that Mr. Hong?"
Sang Ning was very curious. Were the two of them in love?
A single man and a single woman drinking together late at night, it must be something they don't do!
Dingsan stood here for a long time and was extremely bored. When Sang Ning asked him, he seemed a little more energetic.
"What's the relationship between our county governor and her? Of course they're good brothers, ha!"
Sanning: "..."
Is Ding San stupid? They are a man and a woman! Can't they be husband and wife?
"Your master hasn't married yet. Is it related to her?" Sang Ning asked directly.
"Don't talk nonsense, our county magistrate has a fiancée!"
What?
Hehe, that disrespectful Heitan and his fiancée? Who is so unlucky?
"Who is it?"
"Well, not really." Ding San sighed, feeling a little melancholy.
"It was a marriage arranged when we were young, to a cousin of your uncle's. Unfortunately, she was kidnapped when she was three years old and has never been found... Alas, your majesty is so infatuated that he's still waiting."
Sang Ning shuddered all over.
Please don't joke about this, okay?
Three years old... He has forgotten the difference between nose and eyes, yet he is still infatuated?
What is he waiting for? I’m afraid he won’t be able to find a wife at all!
"Haha, then you adults are really affectionate and loyal. I hope he can find his cousin soon."
It's so funny. Even if she found it, she would be a mother of several children!
The black-faced county magistrate is destined to be alone!
Sang Ning saw Huo Jingya waving at her and stopped talking.
"Hey? Hey, Madam Sang, won't you stay a little longer? Hey!" Ding San was still not satisfied.
The main reason is that I have never seen such a fair and beautiful girl in Liangzhou. Chatting with her for a while will be a feast for the eyes.
…
Keep going forward and you will reach the Banlazi Cave with an underground river.
Huo Jingya looked at the nearby path that had been trampled by people and felt very suspicious.
"Fourth sister-in-law, there are no rabbits here. They must have been caught long ago!"
"That's not necessarily true. Come with me and you'll know!"
There are nothing but weeds and rocks next to the Banlazi Cave, and no one comes here.
Last time she found a rabbit dropping near the small hole left in the hole.
She suspected that a rabbit could get through here to the underground river.
So while the officials were digging a well, she went over here and dug a trap.
Five or six days have passed. If there really is a rabbit, it should have been caught, right?
Everyone went into the dark cave as if they were exploring.
The children were not afraid at all, but excited and thrilled.
Except for Feng'er who was a bit timid, she hid behind Jintang with her little hands tightly grasping the corner of Jintang's clothes.
But he was still very curious and kept sticking his head in to look.
Sang Ning found the torch she used last time at the bottom of the cave, lit it with a tinder, and the cave suddenly became bright.
"Will there be any snakes?" Huo Jingya swallowed.
As soon as she said that, the children became nervous.
Snakes are the scariest!
"I haven't encountered that." said Sanning.
She thrust the torch in and looked inside.
"Got it! Prey fell in!"
The traps that Sanning made at that time were quite skillful.
She tied a thin rope to a stone as big as the trap mouth, dug a track next to it for easy rolling, and tied a wooden stick to the other end of the rope and stuck it in the center of the trap.
In this way, if a heavy prey falls into the trap, the stone will roll down and press on the hole, blocking the prey's way out.
And now, the stone is pressing on the mouth of the trap!
When they heard that they had caught prey, no one was afraid anymore and they all ran forward excitedly.
"Be careful, don't let it run away!" Sang Ning handed the torch to Jintang and went to lift the stone himself.
I don’t know when I fell. If it was just a day ago, I probably wouldn’t have the strength to run.
Huo Jingya took out a cloth bag and opened it to block the exit.
"squeak--"
As the stone moved to create a gap, a black shadow rushed out and suddenly entered the cloth bag.
"It's so big! It looks like a rabbit!" Huo Jingya tightly grasped the mouth of the bag and shouted excitedly.
"There's something in the pit!"
Sang Ning stretched out his hand and took out another gray little gadget.
When the torch was lit, it turned out to be a vole!
But it seems that it is exhaling more than inhaling, probably because it was stepped on by a rabbit.
Voles are different from mice and can be eaten.
There is also a saying among the people: "Eating one rat is equivalent to eating three chickens." This shows that its nutritional value is very high.
It also has the effect of replenishing deficiency, strengthening the body, and nourishing qi and blood!
Hahahaha, extra bonus!
"We have meat to eat tonight!" Sang Ning shouted.
Jinxiu slurped and clapped her hands in laughter.
Jintang also swallowed his saliva. He remembered that the braised rabbit meat tasted so delicious when he was in the mansion.
"Sister Feng'er, have you ever eaten rabbit meat?" he asked the well-behaved and quiet Feng'er.
"No……"
"How could there not be one? Wasn't your family the richest in Pingyang?"
"Grandma said that if a girl is greedy, no one will want her in the future, and mom never eats either." Feng'er said in a low voice.
Not only have I never eaten rabbit meat, I rarely eat other meats either.
On the dinner table, the dishes with meat were far away from them and out of their reach.
That means she can only eat it when her father comes back.
But sometimes her mother would secretly buy cooked meat for her to eat.
When she ate, her mother's eyes were red.
Later, she didn't want to eat meat anymore.
