Chapter 43: Drooling
"Who marries whom?" Sang Ning scratched his ears.
Seven or eight men and women came to the door, all with happy looks on their faces.
Not only did he look at her, his eyes kept rolling around on the Huo family, even the two little ones, Jinxin and Jinxiu, were not spared.
It's simply unbearable!
The representative who spoke was the village chief of Lujia Village, Lu Zhiming.
He looked to be in his forties or fifties, with tanned and chapped skin, and it was obvious that he often worked in the fields. He also imitated others and wore a long robe that was so white from washing that I had no idea how old it was.
nondescript!
In his hands he held a cloth bag filled with rice and flour, a pumpkin, and two pieces of linen clothing.
Lu Zhiming looked at Sang Ning coming out and his beard trembled, and he couldn't help nodding.
She is indeed blessed with a round face, fleshy earlobes, bright eyes and an extraordinary demeanor.
As expected of Shi Shen, he has good vision.
"In this situation, we won't be too particular. You can keep the rice and flour, pack up and move to Shi Shen's house."
"Let's go have some fun in the evening, and you'll be part of this village."
"Shi Shen is the best boy in the village. You are a blessed man."
"Nonsense!" Huo Jingya was so angry that her nose was about to be crooked.
"This blessing should be given to the girl from your own village! She won't go!"
Huo Jingya didn't dare to say that Sang Ning was her sister-in-law because she didn't know Sang Ning's physical condition.
She was afraid that the doctor would stop treating her.
The village chief's face darkened: "How can you be so ignorant and ungrateful, girl?"
The people behind him also looked at Huo Jingya critically, and said blatantly: "This is not good. She has a bad temper. My family doesn't dare to accept her."
"The one behind her looks good. Although she's a bit older, she looks stronger and should be able to have children."
Li Yuzhi and Huo Jingya were being talked about like animals, feeling extremely humiliated and glaring at those people viciously.
"Why are you staring at me? Lujia Village is so kind to take you in and provide you with food and clothing. Isn't that better than being taken to a bitter cold place?
Moreover, I don’t know how many times those two yamen runners have slept with her along the way. If my son wasn’t old, do you think he would want these rags of yours?
It's hilarious, the prisoner even acts noble!"
A black woman with a flat face and thick lips spoke with extremely vicious words, making a disgusting "tsk tsk" sound from her mouth.
The Huo family had never suffered such an insult. Such straightforward and vulgar words were simply disgusting.
What kind of shelter? They clearly kidnapped him and brought him into the village! These bandits!
The woman was very proud to see that she had "shocked" several people, and she raised her head like a proud rooster.
I want to continue to speak sweetly.
"Stop talking." Sang Ning fanned his nose with his hand, showing a disgusted look.
"If it weren't for the shape, I would have thought someone's excretion organs were growing on it."
Her voice was calm, not as angry as Huo Jingya and the others.
The words he said may not sound vulgar, but they are more lethal.
What's the meaning?
The black woman still didn't understand.
The person next to her had already said, "Excretion is shitting, and the excretory organ is the butt. Aunt Mudan, she said your butt is on top."
Very well explained.
Aunt Mudan's face twisted, and then Sang Ning laughed: "Aunt Mudan, it's the black peony, right? It's a rare species."
Xie Yurou immediately grasped Sang Ning's essence and continued, "It's indeed a rare breed. The darker the cow, the rarer it is. The most famous one is probably the Black Bull. I heard it's a hybrid breed cultivated by hundreds of gardeners."
What peony? How can you say it’s a variety?
The black woman's small eyes flashed with stupidity and she was dazed.
She is very good at scolding people, but if you don’t understand, I don’t know how to continue.
Huo Jingya imitated her just now and made two mocking sounds.
The person next to her said, "Aunt Mudan, she said you are a black bull, a bastard."
The woman let out a loud "Ao".
"Little bitch—"
"Shut up, everyone!" Lu Zhiming shouted.
He looked at Sang Ning angrily, "Stop talking nonsense! No matter who you were before, how many words you knew, or what great principles you understood, you are all exiled criminals now. How dare you make a scene under these conditions?"
This woman doesn't seem obedient.
Shi Shen is such an honest child, I'm afraid I won't be able to control her, so I have to suppress her in advance.
"Aren't you also exiled criminals?" Sang Ning asked doubtfully.
"We are different from you! It was our ancestors who committed the crime!" The village chief was almost angry to death.
"If it weren't for this, do you think we would rescue you!?"
Well said, rescue.
He obviously wants to find a woman for the old bachelor in the village!
There was coldness in Sang Ning's eyes, but a smile on his face.
"It's definitely different. We've just become prisoners and haven't adapted yet. But you have it hereditary. Your grandfather was a prisoner, your son is a prisoner, your grandson is a prisoner, your ancestors and descendants are all prisoners. You can only hide in the mountains. If you go out, you will die.
We are considered new prisoners, and you are probably called senior prisoners? So great, huh? "
Lu Zhiming's face suddenly became as gloomy as the sky before a rainstorm.
Black Peony yelled, "What are you talking about?! How can we be prisoners?"
"You don't think you are innocent people, do you? Tsk tsk, you are not as good as us! At least we went to Liangzhou, and after a few years, we can start a new life after serving our sentences.
You are different.”
Sang Ning clicked his tongue and shook his head. "You've hidden for a while, but you've harmed future generations. The word 'criminal' is etched in your bones and blood, and will never see the light of day again. How tragic! How tragic!"
Have you, children, ever tried lotus cakes? Have you ever tried glutinous rice cakes, osmanthus cakes, rose cakes, chestnut cakes, cloud cakes... pan-fried goose chops, honey-roasted pigeons, stir-fried prawns with soy sauce, chicken and fish soup..."
"Slurp~"
Black Peony and the people who came with her were all drooling.
"What are those? They look delicious."
"I haven't heard of anything else, only yellow croaker in soup. My second grandfather kept saying he wanted to have one more bite before he died. It must have been incredibly delicious."
Even Huo Jingya and the others began to swallow their saliva.
I haven’t eaten these delicious foods for a long time, I’m so greedy!
Xie Yurou's stomach started to growl.
Lu Zhiming stared at the villagers' useless appearance and became even angrier.
He is greedy too!
He knew more than the villagers. He had heard about it from his elders in his early years. Looking back, he could see that they described it in great detail, knowing every flavor. The elders were drooling as they talked about it.
He was also drooling.
At the corner, two people were swallowing their saliva.
One of them was Lu Shishen, who was holding a piece of red cloth in his hand, which contained what he wanted to use as a betrothal gift: the only pair of silver bracelets left by his grandmother.
The other person is his partner Feng Dali.
Feng Dali is a strong man who makes a living by hunting.
He is also the person arranged by the village to deal with the outside world.
He and another hunter were the ones who went to the village to buy seeds and exchange things for spring plowing.
He had eaten food outside, but nothing good. After all, he only stayed in the nearby town and didn't dare to go far away.
Swallowing his saliva, he said, "This girl is good. I want her. When I hunt good meat, I will ask her to cook it for me."
"She can't!"
His usually easy-going friend was surprisingly stern and looked at him unhappily.
"She is Miss Aning."
