Chapter 22 Discovering the Wounded



At night, Feng Biluo and Gu Ting were in their own rooms. Feng Biluo woke up early in the morning and made formula for the baby. It was the old formula, and the baby didn't like it very much.

However, she didn't refuse to lie down after eating her fill. Feng Biluo started packing her things. There was a small courtyard at the entrance, built with adobe bricks.

The weeds were only about a meter high. Feng Biluo picked up a hoe and started weeding outside the courtyard, planning to plant some things in the yard.

Feng Biluo's space is suitable for planting, but the problem is that if the things planted don't have a clear reason for their origin, they are easily suspected by others.

Gu Ting also woke up and sat not far away holding the baby. After Feng Biluo finished weeding, Feng Linshu brought her some food. When he saw Feng Biluo, he said, "Biluo, what are you doing? Let me make it for you. You're a girl, you can't do this."

"Brother, what can't I do? I was born in the countryside too." Feng Biluo said with some helplessness. She was also born in the countryside, so why couldn't she do it?

"Then you can watch me do it too." With that, he started weeding. Feng Biluo looked at him but didn't rush to do the work. Instead, she sat down and watched Feng Linshu do it.

Feng Linshu brought her breakfast today. Feng Biluo sat down not far away and started eating. After she finished eating, she got up and went to wash the dishes.

There's less work to do in the fields now, so when there's work to be done, the villagers will go hunting in groups in the mountains.

Feng Linshu was no exception. After tidying up the courtyard for Feng Biluo, he went up the mountain. "Second brother, I want to go with you too."

"Where are you going? Stay home and take care of the baby." Upon hearing this, Feng Linshu immediately retorted, as the baby was still laughing and couldn't leave.

Upon hearing this, Feng Biluo couldn't help but purse her lips, still wanting to go along.

"By the way, Biluo, what do you want? Your second brother will try to get it for you." He said, looking at Feng Biluo. Upon hearing this, Feng Biluo glanced at Feng Linshu.

"Anything is fine, you decide." It's indeed unpleasant that we can't go up the mountain, but the child is still quite young.

After Feng Linshu left, Feng Biluo went out with Gu Ting, intending to take a stroll in the fields to see if they could find anything delicious.

On her way to the fields, she encountered the Qian family. Someone from the Qian family had come to propose marriage, but Qian Duoduo immediately chased them away. As she looked at those people, Qian Duoduo said, "Let me tell you, my marriage is my own decision, and none of you can interfere with it."

"I'm telling you, Qian family, this is going too far. You were the ones who spread the news, and now that we've come to propose marriage, this is how you treat us. Do you think we're easy to bully?" one of the men in the group said.

With a scar on his face, he looked fierce and menacing. "Let me tell you, your grandmother sold you a long time ago. Fifty yuan was your dowry. If you give it back to me, I won't want you anymore. If you don't, you have to go back and be my wife."

Looking at Qian Duoduo, the man's face turned ugly. Qian Duoduo immediately retorted, "Who wants your money? Go marry whoever you want. I'm telling you, I didn't want your money."

Qian Duoduo was furious. She didn't want to marry such a brute. She wanted to be an official's wife.

Thinking of this, she immediately began to struggle. Feng Biluo only glanced at her and ignored her. According to the original story, Qian Duoduo could be said to have harmed the original owner's family with ruthless methods.

Now, the original owner's family has almost completely ruined their reputation. For a period of time, Feng Linqi will be framed by others for peeping at female comrades while they are bathing, thus facing imprisonment.

After breaking off her engagement with Feng Linqi, she still managed to gain all the benefits, making everyone pity her and criticize Feng Linqi. If it weren't for Feng Linqi's past image as a kind-hearted person, she really wouldn't have been able to gain a foothold in Fengjia Village.

Of course, even if the people of Fengjia Village did not drive them away, this incident still caused many people around them to have opinions about Feng Linqi, Feng Linshu, and others. At this moment, Feng Biluo arrived.

The other party used the excuse of the sister-in-law returning home to break off the engagement, so the Feng family was morally in the right. They then tried to frame Feng Biluo's family, which led to the village chief speaking up. Now, the Qian family is basically a pariah in Fengjia Village.

Feng Biluo took Gu Ting to the fields. Feng Biluo found two snakes and brought them back to make snake soup. The baby wasn't afraid of snakes and was overjoyed to see the snake wrapped around Feng Biluo's hand.

"Ya ya." The baby, who was about three months old, could already cry and even recognized people a little. Feng Biluo didn't let the snake get close to the baby, but instead took Gu Ting home directly.

"Biluo, that's really something. Not just anyone would dare to catch this. Only your family would be so brave," a passing villager remarked as he looked at Feng Biluo.

Upon hearing this, Feng Biluo smiled and said, "This thing only looks fierce. With the right technique, it's quite easy to catch."

With the right skills, catching these small snakes is quite easy. Hearing this, the people smiled, but in their hearts they thought that they would have to be brave.

In fact, Feng Biluo sometimes realized that the original owner's personality was very similar to her own, which was really strange. She quickly shook her head and didn't think too much about it.

After taking the snake back, they started a fire with straw, grabbed the snake by the neck, and began to roast it over the fire, starting to shed the snake's skin from the neck.

Both snakes were non-venomous. They tasted excellent when cooked with some eggs. Feng Biluo cooked two snakes and ten eggs, and after they were done, she also sent some to her mother.

Although Feng's mother felt sorry for her daughter, she didn't want to see her daughter unhappy, so she took the eggs and said, "Don't send them next time. We have enough at home. As for you, just tell your mother if you need anything."

"Okay, Mom, don't worry, I won't ask you for nothing." Feng Biluo smiled, put down her things, and went back to eat with Gu Ting. After eating, Feng Biluo went to the back mountain to chop firewood, planning to get some dry firewood to take back and burn.

The firewood was covered with leaves, so a bamboo rake was needed to clear away the leaves before picking up the firewood. But then Feng Biluo discovered something strange. She quickly went over and smelled a strong stench of blood. She saw a strangely dressed person. Feng Biluo squatted down and found that the person had been shot. There were guns within a hundred miles, so it must be a group of bandits deep in this mountain valley.
