Chapter 256: Little Peace is Blessing



After that, I left the house, still savoring Yunwen's sweet kiss on my lips. As soon as I walked out of the door, I saw Yingchun waiting for me on the first floor. I hurried downstairs, then remembered that I forgot to close the door.

"Why did you come in and what do you want to do?" I asked.

"Are you guarding against thieves? Nothing will happen if I come in." Yingchun said.

I came downstairs. I remembered Yunwen had just said not to be too harsh on her. Also, I thought that the Song sisters were rather timid. I had already warned her, but she came again. It must be because of something. Therefore, there was no need to get angry immediately. I should ask about the situation first.

"Just tell me what's going on, but don't shout, or I'll use force on you," I said.

"Did you go back to look for something? Have you found my chisel? You drove me out, and I had nothing to do anyway, so I had to do something to entertain myself. So I wanted to come in and ask you. That thing is mine, so there's no need to barter for it, right?" Yingchun said.

"It seems like it's been found. Go check the package. The saw has also been found. You can take them all. But I tell you, instead of thinking about getting rid of these things, you'd better reflect on your own actions and think about how to sincerely apologize to your sister and let her forgive you. Otherwise, if she really doesn't want to recognize you, we also think you're troublesome, and maybe this place can't accommodate you, and you can't stay in the city gate." I continued to intimidate and threaten.

She frowned and muttered, "I've already apologized, what else do you want? It's so troublesome."

It was obviously difficult for her to understand how to sincerely apologize to someone. After she finished speaking, she really went to the backpack and suddenly sniffed me. I avoided her with some disgust. She looked at me and said, "Were you hugging and kissing Zhang Yunwen again?"

"Why do you care so much? Can you take care of yourself first?" I asked.

"I don't care! I saved your life. If it weren't for me, you would have been killed by Daofuhui long ago. If it weren't for me taking the last step, you wouldn't be where you are now. You have to repay the favor of saving me, right? Otherwise, wouldn't it be like being a ruthless person? I also want you to kiss me, okay? You haven't kissed me for a long time." Song Yingchun said like a spoiled child.

"Don't act like a hooligan here. You saved me, so I let you stay here for so long. Don't you think it's not enough? Do you want to get even worse? Besides, I remember all the words you used to curse me, like you must have been blind to like me in the first place. Since you don't like me anymore, why are you still kissing me? Get out of here now." I said.

Song Yingchun blushed, grabbed my sleeve, and said, "I was acting. Didn't I explain it to you? I have never regretted liking you. Don't take it seriously! Besides, it won't hurt to just kiss you, right? It won't make you lose a muscle or a piece of skin, or anything, right?"

"Once the words are spoken, they can be taken back. Besides, even if you didn't say it, I would never kiss you. How dare I kiss someone who would stab his own sister? I'm still mentally sane, do you understand? Just get out after you find the things and don't bother anyone anymore." I said.

Having said that, she fell silent. She could only find what she wanted in the backpack and then went out. Before leaving, she looked back at me a few times with tears in her eyes. I waved my hand at her, thinking that no matter how soft or hard she was this time, I would not touch her again, nor would I give in on many things.

She went out, and I was about to close the door. She headed toward the city gate. Halfway there, she turned around and asked, "Brother Zhou Bo, if I sincerely apologized and my sister forgave me, would you not treat me the same way you did today? Would you be nicer to me, too?"

"It depends on the situation, how sincerely you apologize and why your sister forgives you. If you forced her or used some ulterior motive, that's another matter," I said.

After that, I closed the door and took a rest for a while, so that I could recharge my energy and ensure that when Bailu woke up at night, I could continue to take care of her and keep her out of danger.

In the next three days, Yingchun didn't knock on the door again, but I could still see her near the city gate. She didn't seem to be short of food. Maybe Yunwen secretly gave her some food while I was going back to the post station to water the farmland. In recent days, Bailu needs a lot of nourishment, so I deliberately rode Sanfu to stroll around the area and collect herbs. But I am not a professional after all, so I can only look for them according to the characteristics that Bailu told me.

During this period, I saw Yingchun often stayed alone in the guard room at the city gate, sawing wood and fiddling with something. She was very busy, but she was still busy with her own things and didn't care about her sister's affairs. I thought she was just like that.

Yunwen's daily work, in addition to stewing and feeding medicine, also includes cooking, feeding, and chatting with Bailu. She acts as both a nurse and a psychologist. Her own body is still poor, so every day when Bailu feels sleepy, she usually can't hold on and falls asleep. I feel distressed seeing this, but thinking that it will only be a short period of time, I can only grit my teeth and help as much as I can.

The most important thing is that I am not idle either. In addition to having to travel long distances frequently to take care of and irrigate the wheat fields, I also have to find a way to get some fine salt, or rely on the method of filtering seawater with activated carbon. After all, Bai Lu's body needs to recover, so it is better to supplement with more edible salt water. Moreover, I have to help go out to collect herbs, find some wild vegetables, roots, wild mushrooms, etc., which takes most of the day every day.

But all the hard work was worth it. Slowly, Bai Lu's health began to show signs of improvement. In addition, since I often went to the old post station, I used an engineering shovel to dig up the blocked tunnel, rescued the rotten wood used for growing wood ear mushrooms, and moved them all to the new residence. In addition, the spring tide has risen, and some stranded dead fish can be found on the coast. If you are lucky, you can pick them up and take them back. You can either pickle them or cook fish soup to make up for the many deficiencies now.

The saying "No pain, no gain" is true. As long as you are willing to move and don't sit and wait for death, you will always find a way out of the mountains and cross the bridges over the water, and you will always see a bright future.

In the past three days, I have also started to weed the backyard of the castle and left it for the dog days, and to dig and loosen the soil with an engineering shovel. With the arrival of spring, the weather has become warmer. The six or seven potatoes I had before are being placed in a humid place waiting for them to sprout. Once they sprout, they can be cut into several sections and planted in the backyard.

Potatoes can be harvested once every three months, and are abundant enough to fill your stomach, making them an excellent winter food. With them, if you plant them repeatedly, you will plant more and more, and there will be no famine in the winter, and life without wheat will be much better.

It would be better to prepare some fertilizer when planting potatoes. Recently, I will take the unused iron bucket in the castle to collect fallen leaves, cow dung and horse dung outside. After adding some water and stirring with a wooden stick, I will find a piece of cloth to cover it and put it in the backyard to ferment for a week. When I need it, when I plant potatoes, I can irrigate the land so that the potatoes can grow better.

Everything is returning to order. The only thing that worries me is Song Yingchun. Bai Lu doesn't want to see her, but she hasn't said she wants to drive her away. Therefore, whatever I do may affect Bai Lu's condition. The only way is to let it go and maintain the status quo. But this girl is getting worse and worse and has no remorse. It's really unbearable.

Until one day three days later, I suddenly heard a knock on the door of the second-floor balcony. It was already evening, and I was helping Yunwen to rest. She had just fallen asleep, and I couldn't bear to wake her up, so I hurriedly opened the door between the balcony and the corridor.

Seeing Yingchun standing in front of me, he said, "Give this to my sister to mend it."

I saw that it was something wrapped in lotus leaves. When I untied it and took a look, I was shocked to find that it was actually a Ganoderma lucidum!

"Where did you get it? I saw you staying in the house these days," I said.

"Don't worry about this. Anyway, it's given to my sister. You can take it for me. If it's not enough, I can get some more, but you have to wait two more days." Yingchun said.

I was shocked. Ganoderma lucidum is so hard to find, but she was able to find it without leaving her home, and she even promised confidently that she could find the next one. What's going on?
