Chapter 61 Oolong
The Fifth Prince and Fan Jingrui exchanged a glance. Fan Jingrui quickly explained, "Please don't misunderstand me. We are from this village. I am Fan Jingrui of the Fan family, and the person next to me is my cousin Li Sheng."
"Fan Jingrui? Madam Fan's husband?" Although the voice was not loud, it was clearly heard by everyone present, reminding them of the blunder they had caused.
Especially Dahe, who went to report the news to the village chief, tried hard to make his body smaller, wishing he could shrink into an ant so that no one could find him.
I’m afraid the village chief will settle the score with me later.
But his worries were unnecessary, as the village chief had no time to care about him at this moment!
He was busy trying to save face. "I'm really sorry. We were too reckless."
"But Master Fan, please don't blame us for being suspicious. It's really because the curved plow invented by the Young Madam is so useful. The surrounding villages are jealous!"
Emma, it finally worked out. The village chief secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "Since it was just a misunderstanding, let's go back first."
After saying that, without waiting for Fan Jingrui and the other two to respond, the group of people ran away without a trace.
Seeing that the situation was not good, An Qi quickly disappeared, leaving only the Fifth Prince and Fan Jingrui behind.
But after such a misunderstanding, both of their good moods disappeared.
They had to pray that this blunder wouldn't be known to their family, otherwise they would both be utterly disgraced. Fan Jingrui could even imagine his wife pointing at him and laughing.
Sadly, their prayers were of no avail.
As soon as I reached the gate, it creaked open.
Well, my family already knows about it, there’s no way around it.
But wasn't the house being built a little too quickly? They'd only been in the county town for twenty days, not two months, so how come the wall was already finished?
Entering the door...
"What's going on? How can you build a wall before building a house?" The fifth prince asked, pointing to the half-finished house not far away.
Chu Ci didn't know what the Fifth Prince was so excited about, "Have you dealt with the matter in the county?"
Fan Jingrui hoped that no one would mention tonight's blunder again, and quickly replied, "The clerk has been escorted to the Governor's Mansion, and the new county magistrate has also arrived."
All the details were skipped over, and those present tactfully did not ask any further questions.
The fifth prince also realized Fan Jingrui's intention and interrupted, "Cousin, you have forgotten the most important thing. The new county magistrate is called Shen Boran."
When the people present heard the name Shen Boran, all of them looked subtle.
After a few casual greetings, they dispersed.
After all, no one would feel good if someone pulled them out of bed in the middle of the night.
Chu Ci ran even faster, into her sweet and soft bed!
I completely forgot what I promised Fan Jingrui that we would try to get along. Until I realized that there was another person beside me. I asked stupidly, "Why are you here?"
Fan Jingrui did not answer, but hugged Chu Ci into his arms and asked infatuatedly: "My wife, have you thought about me these days?"
"I did, I did." Chu Ci was embarrassed to say that she had forgotten in her busy schedule and could only reply perfunctorily. Then she said, "It's late, go to bed quickly, we still have to make compost tomorrow!"
Well, my lady has some important things to do. Fan Jingrui naturally can't be a drag.
But he had already made up his mind to go over and help tomorrow. He couldn't let his wife handle everything at home alone.
However, Fan Jingrui never imagined that the compost Chu Ci was talking about was actually a mixture of animal feces. "Madam, are you sure this mixture of manure can increase rice production?"
Seeing that Fan Jingrui didn't quite believe it, Chu Ci didn't bother to explain: "Of course it's not just a matter of stirring it, it also needs to be fermented under suitable conditions."
After she finished, she specifically instructed Cao Kuan beside her: "Be sure to remember carefully. Pay attention to the temperature and humidity. Even the amount of water used. In the end, you have to select the most suitable one. If you have time, you can also add other things, such as fallen leaves, straw, rice straw, etc. Don't limit yourself to just one method. In short, it's always right to experiment more."
"Yes." Cao Kuan replied while constantly taking notes with a pen.
He had to dip the brush in ink from time to time, which was really inconvenient.
How about trying to make charcoal? What is the process for making charcoal?
Chu Ci was obviously a little absent-minded afterwards because she was thinking about the charcoal pencil. Fortunately, she had already explained the composting process in advance.
Cao Kuan guessed and understood the general idea.
Seeing that Cao Kuan’s command was good, Chu Ci simply pulled Fan Jingrui up the mountain.
But this time Chu Ci's luck was not so good. As soon as he reached the mountain, a wild boar came grunting towards him.
You should know that the wild boar’s only natural enemies are adult tigers and packs of wild wolves, which shows how strong its fighting ability is.
So Chu Ci's first reaction was: "Run, let's run separately——"
But how can a two-legged person outrun a four-legged wild boar?
In desperation, Chu Ci could only use his sleeve arrows to interfere, but the wild boar had thick skin and flesh, and the force of the sleeve arrows could hardly cause any damage to the wild boar.
If this continued, Chu Ci would definitely be the first to collapse. Fan Jingrui, who was not far away, didn't care about his own safety. He drew the dagger from his arms, took a run, jumped, and leaped onto the wild boar's neck, stabbing it fiercely.
The wild boar screamed, but the dagger was too short to inflict a fatal wound. Instead, it only aroused its ferocity. It leaped and rammed, just to throw Fan Jingrui off its body.
Chu Ci tried to help several times, but the wild boar was too fast.
Fortunately, Fan Jingrui is in excellent physical condition now. He stabs the wild boar with one knife, two knives, three knives... each time he stabs the same position, and the wild boar's movements gradually slow down. Although the change is minimal, it is enough for Chu Ci.
At this moment, Chu Ci didn't care about being exposed. He took out a spear from the space and ordered in his mind: "Xing'er, aim--"
Then he shouted, "Fan Jingrui, get out of the way!"
Fan Jingrui reflexively let go of his upper arm that was around the wild boar and rolled off it.
Almost at the same time, Chu Ci thrust the spear in his hand fiercely into the place where Fan Jingrui's dagger had stabbed.
The wild boar's screams rang out again, but this time there was no longer any ferocity in it. As the spear in Chu Ci's hand pierced through, the wild boar slowly fell to the ground.
The two people who finally escaped the disaster helped each other to get up, only to find that the wild boar's blood was everywhere.
"Hurry, leave quickly. Wild boars are social animals." Fan Jingrui immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.
