Chapter 12
The backpack was carried by two people. Shen An stopped, so Shen Ning naturally couldn't take two steps. She looked back in confusion: "Second brother, why don't you leave?"
Chen An lowered his eyes to hide the doubt in his eyes, suppressing the inexplicable thought just now: "I'll look for wild ginger."
"Then I'll look for it too." Chen Ning had no idea what her second brother was thinking. When she heard him talking about looking for wild ginger, she stretched her neck to look around and asked Sang Luo, "Sister-in-law, how tall is wild ginger?"
"Between one foot and three feet?" Sang Luo was not sure whether the ginger at that time looked the same as in later generations, because in her original memory she had only seen ginger served on the dining table, and she had never seen ginger grown in the ground.
Species are constantly evolving, and the time and space here are also different.
Both of them were concentrating on looking for wild ginger. No one noticed Chen An, who was walking behind and said he also wanted to look for wild ginger. His eyes did not fall on the ground at all, but fell on Sang Luo from time to time, with doubt, scrutiny, and feeling that it was impossible. His eyes changed constantly.
…
Something was not right with Shen An.
Sang Luo discovered it when she was making dinner.
The little guy changed from his excitement during the day and became unusually silent, looking at her from time to time.
The key is to just look at him. If she happens to see him, he will quickly avoid her gaze and think that he is avoiding it very secretly.
Yes, if he was dealing with a child, it would indeed be considered confidential.
But is Sang Luo a child?
The woman’s age cannot be revealed, but she was indeed 28 in her previous life. How could she not see that a nine-year-old kid was in a bad mood?
Sang Luo had a question mark in her mind, and then her heart tightened. In a moment, she realized something.
It's not her fault that she is sensitive. It's a matter of time travel. Although she could travel through time, her original body should have died before she came. But after all, she occupied someone else's body. It was considered as reincarnation... Sang Luo actually felt a little uneasy.
If she had not faced the possibility of starving to death as soon as she came here, she would have pretended to be sick and stayed at home to avoid any possibility of being exposed.
But can she? Relying on the two liters of rice that Shen An borrowed from Chen's house in the middle of the night, the three of them were fed and drank, and the original body was still sick and starved to death. How dare she not try every possible way to get something to supplement her nutrition?
I dare not.
So what did this little guy realize?
Sang Luo's mind was racing, but she didn't dare show it on her face, not even by frowning.
She quickly recalled when Shen An's attitude changed, and her memory played back bit by bit like a rewind.
Then I remembered Shen Ning's long string of praises...
"Sister-in-law, you know so much. You can catch fish, make tofu, recognize wild ginger, and even know how to cure colds!"
"Second brother, why don't you leave?"
Okay, case solved.
This kid is really sharp and shrewd.
Mingming was only nine years old, which would be seven or eight years old in modern times, a first-grade primary school student.
Those who are well protected by their parents are all cute little cuties.
But look at Chen An... Not only is she sharp, but she also managed to remain calm even after noticing something was wrong. Her words "find wild ginger" neither frightened Chen Ning nor alerted this "snake".
Sang Luo added some salt to the jar and stirred it gently with a spoon, wondering what she was in Shen An's heart now? A demon or a ghost?
Well, in the original body's memory, people of this era were actually very superstitious and firmly believed in the existence of immortals, gods, demons, ghosts, and monsters. Just thinking of this, Sang Luo couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
This kid is really brave enough to be able to secretly observe her for such a long time.
She simply pretended not to know, thinking about the logic and rhetoric to fill in the gaps, while seeing how long this little guy Shen An could endure.
She is not afraid. She will fight against the enemy with her own army and block the water with earth.
However, she still reflected on it seriously. Since there were only two children around her and she relied on her original body's memories, she was still too careless. It seems that she needs to be more careful in the future and make sure everything she does can be logically justified.
Don’t look back and be mistaken for a wild goblin or a ghost, and be burned to death.
Sang Luo didn't want to experience such a horrible and painful death just after she came back to life. Besides, if she died again, would God let her wear it again?
Cherish your life and keep your vest safe.
Fortunately, after the original body came to Shili Village, he stayed at home and was taciturn. Apart from the two little siblings, even Shen San and the Li family, who had lived with him for half a month, did not know the original body well.
It is normal for a person to change his temperament after experiencing a great change and then a life-and-death experience. She does not need to deliberately imitate the behavior of her original self.
…
At this moment, Shen An's heart was far from as calm as Sang Luo thought.
Just as Sang Luo thought, he was indeed moving in the direction of the supernatural. The only difference was that in addition to the thoughts of wild spirits and ghosts that popped up in the beginning, he also turned to thoughts of gods and immortals.
Because Sang Luo brought them food made from leaves today, Sang Luo told them the name of it was the Fairy Tree and Fairy Tofu, both words were related to fairies.
After the initial suspicion, Shen An's thoughts gradually turned to redemption. Seeing that he and his sister were suffering so much, he hoped that a kind-hearted immortal would come to help them.
Of course, this idea did not take hold.
In the stories told by adults and passed down by word of mouth by the children in the village, there are also stories about ghosts and monsters using benefits to set traps.
So, is this still his sister-in-law? If not, is she here to help him and his sister, or to harm him and his sister?
I was so confused, but I didn't dare to show my true colors. I wanted to test it, but I didn't dare to. If I didn't test it, I was afraid it was really a ghost. When the sun went down and the sky got dark, would it be...? ?
I dare not even think about the scenes that followed. My heart was boiling with oil over a fire. It was such an agony.
…
Shen An and Sang Luo had different thoughts, but Shen Ning was the only one who felt pure happiness.
The little girl squatted by the stove, looking at the fish soup in the clay pot gradually turning milky white, listening to the fish soup bubbling in the pot, smelling the delicious aroma of the fish soup and swallowing her saliva, while looking forward to how to prepare for making money at the market the day after tomorrow.
The eyes, ears, nose and mouth simply can't be too busy.
Sang Luo looked at Chen Ning and was truly moved. This was what a seven or eight-year-old child should look like.
How come Shen An seems to have eight hundred minds for a baby born on the same day?
When the soup was almost ready, I threw the washed wild onions into the soup. After waiting for a while, I used my fingertips to break the remaining half of the wild onion from mixing it with purslane into pieces and threw it into the pot.
The wild onions were stimulated by the hot soup, and the fragrance instantly filled the whole room.
Shen Ning was so intoxicated that he took a deep breath and smiled at the milky white fish soup in the earthenware jar, "The fish soup made by my sister-in-law is so delicious!"
Sang Luo turned down the fire in the stove and was just reaching out to grab the bowl to put the fish in, but when she heard this, she almost paused.
Fortunately, the original body had never cooked fish soup for the little brother and sister.
She calmly picked up the bowl, scooped up the palm-sized fish from the bottom of the earthen jar with a wooden spoon, and handed the bowl to Shen Ning: "It will be fragrant with the green onions. The soup is too hot. Eat the fish and purslane first. You and your second brother will share this fish."
Shen Ning smiled happily: "Thank you, sister-in-law!"
Sang Luo smiled, took her own bowl, scooped the other slightly smaller fish into the bowl, picked up the fish with chopsticks and ate it slowly.
Shen An couldn't help but look again.
Monsters and ghosts don’t eat like humans, right?
…
Sang Luo really has a headache.
Instead of staring at her secretly, it would be better to just ask.
She simply turned her head to meet Shen An's gaze and asked him, "How is the fish? Is it delicious?"
Chen An secretly wondered what kind of monster Sang Luo was. He felt guilty when being questioned, but he also felt the courage to test the waters. He nodded to Sang Luo's question and said, "It's delicious. Why didn't sister-in-law take us fishing before?"
Why not pick leaves to make that magical tofu?
With these two means, how could he fall into the situation of dying of illness and starvation?
But he suppressed all his sharpness and even tried hard to put on the innocent smile that a nine-year-old child should have.
