Chapter 443 Everyone should have a scale in their heart.
"What do you mean, Tang Cheng? I know what you're thinking, but do you know that no matter how others treat Xiao Su Bao, one must have a sense of justice?"
Qian's words made Tang Cheng pause, and the latter raised his head: "Mother, that's not what I meant, but if more people know about Xiao Su Bao's abnormality, I... I'm worried that I won't be able to protect her!"
Tang Cheng sighed and looked in the direction where Xiao Su Bao and the others had left.
Qian also looked over. Little Su Bao had a bright smile on her face and a glimmer of light in her eyes.
Such a cute little dumpling made even Qiao Shi smile.
"Alright, don't think about it so much. Su Bao is a lucky girl. Don't tell anyone about her, not even His Majesty!" Madam Qian said earnestly to Tang Ke.
"yes!"
Tang Cheng nodded, but his eyes held a firm belief.
He must become strong; only then can he protect his little sister.
When his father died, he left him a letter.
Thinking of what was mentioned in the letter, Tang Cheng pursed his lips, his eyes serious.
At this moment, Wang Mingtian saw Tang Bugui come down and a smile appeared on his face.
"Hold fast to the original essence and guard the oneness, calm the mind and settle the sea of the heart..." Wang Mingtian murmured.
Upon hearing this, everyone instinctively looked over.
Something seemed to be surging within their bodies.
Soon, everyone felt a warm sensation in their lower abdomen.
Tang Bugui felt it most acutely. He already had internal injuries, and after learning of Lan Shuyu's death, his body and mind reached their limits.
According to the imperial physician, Tang Bugui really wouldn't live much longer, at most three years, at least three months.
If it weren't for finding Xiao Su Bao and changing his mindset, Tang Bugui would probably be dead long ago.
Tang Bugui narrowed his eyes, as if he was also sensing something.
After a long while, Tang Xin suddenly screamed.
Bai Yinjun was not far from her. Upon hearing Tang Xin's voice, he instinctively rushed over.
"Are you alright?" Bai Yinjun asked anxiously.
Tang Xin shook her head. When she was a child, she accidentally fell into the water in winter and her body got cold.
The main reason why his parents doted on Tang Xin was actually because of this.
The young girl will probably be unable to have children in the future.
But just now, Tang Xin felt a warm sensation in her lower abdomen, which was completely different from usual.
This was the first time the little girl had ever felt this way.
"Are you really alright?" Bai Yinjun couldn't help but ask.
Tang Xin glared at Bai Yinjun and said irritably, "It's really nothing, it's really nothing, go play somewhere else!"
At this moment, Tang Xin's father also came over, and he kicked Bai Yinjun in the butt.
Bai Yinjun accidentally fell into Tang Xin's arms.
"Bai Yinjun, I'm going to kill you!" Tang Xin's father clenched his fists, his eyes filled with intense killing intent.
Bai Yinjun wanted to escape, but it wasn't convenient for him to do so in the water.
Wang Mingtian smiled when he heard the voices coming from this side.
He thought of something and said to Ling Buqi, "Your master only needs to soak for another half an hour. In the end, he should come and soak once a day during this period!"
Ling Buqi nodded immediately, his eyes filled with determination.
Tang Bugui remained silent.
On the other side, Little Su Bao was busy with her bottom sticking out.
Right now, everyone else is staring blankly at that lump in front of them!
"Can we eat this?" Fu Manduo squatted down next to the little dumpling and asked somewhat uncertainly.
Su Ruanruan also became puzzled.
Su Yun, on the other hand, reached out and picked up the dark-colored thing to take a look.
"This stone doesn't seem to weigh much!" Su Yun said, puzzled.
Little Su Bao was still digging in the ditch when she heard what the people were saying, and she raised her head.
Because her hair was covering her eyes, the little dumpling subconsciously rubbed her forehead with her hand.
Then he said, "It's edible, and it's delicious!"
After saying that, Xiao Su Bao simply picked up a lump of coal and carefully broke it open.
Then the pale yellow flesh inside was revealed.
"This smell..." Everyone stared straight at them.
My gaze fell on the fruit pulp.
Fu Manduo couldn't help but swallow, his voice tinged with anticipation: "Little Su Bao, is this edible?"
She remembered that Xiao Su Bao had brought them here in search of food.
Xiao Su Bao nodded and handed half of the small black ball in her hand to Fu Man Duo.
Fu Manduo's cheeks flushed slightly, and he said a little shyly, "My good friend, you're so good to me. You're my best friend, and I like you the most!"
After Fuman finished speaking, he took the fruit and took a bite with great joy.
Suddenly, a unique and rich fragrance made her eyes light up.
"What is this?" Fu Manduo quickly finished eating the fruit in his mouth before looking at Xiao Su Bao and asking.
The little girl scratched her head, a slightly embarrassed look on her face, and said, "I don't know either!"
She genuinely didn't know; she had simply eaten this by chance in the mountains.
"This stuff is so delicious, why have I never eaten it before?" Fu Manduo finished the rest in a few bites, not caring much that his little hands had turned black.
"That's normal. There's plenty of food in these mountains. But if you had food, why would you come up the mountain to look for it?"
Su Ruanruan also broke off a piece, handed a small piece to Su Yun, and gently bit into the slightly yellow flesh inside.
Sweet and dry.
This thing is actually quite good.
"I wonder how many more of these are here!" Fu Manduo stared at the ground, a hint of curiosity rising in his heart.
Before Xiao Su Bao could speak, Tang Si said, "I'll send someone over to help us search!"
Since there are so many here, there should be more.
Tang Si called over a few villagers who hadn't come down the mountain. When they heard that they could find food, they immediately became excited.
They busily searched the ground.
It must be said that the villagers are quite adept at finding food, at least much better than the young girls.
"It's amazing that these black, rocky lumps are edible!" Da Ya's father looked at them and couldn't help but show a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
Other villagers also dug up a lot. The ones on the upper layer were already roasted, but there were still some black ones that hadn't been roasted and hadn't turned red in the sun.
Everyone watched with great curiosity.
"I must say, this stuff actually tastes pretty good!" The villagers ate it, feeling incredibly happy.
Tang Si picked up one of these raw things and looked at it. The skin was red and it felt hard to the touch.
It's just a bit small.
However, if this thing can withstand storage...
wrong!
Tang Si glanced at the thing subconsciously and thought about it carefully.
"Su Bao, is this what we grow in our field?" Tang Si asked, looking at Su Bao.
Little Su Bao was taken aback for a moment, but then nodded obediently.
"Yes!" The little dumpling nodded, looking exceptionally well-behaved.
Tang Si felt a little helpless, but he already had an idea in mind.
He had just eaten a piece, and the feeling of hunger he had previously felt was almost gone.
So this food is quite filling.
If large-scale planting were possible, it might solve many problems.
However, it's probably not going to work this year. We'll have to wait and see next year.
Food is the lifeblood of the people!
"Fourth brother, can Su Bao go see other places with Sister Fu and the others?"
The little dumpling wasn't full yet, and she secretly rubbed her tummy, not wanting to trouble anyone else.
"Go ahead!" Tang Si looked at the little girl and smiled.
"Thank you, Fourth Brother!"
Little Su Bao, unaware of her fourth brother's thoughts, happily led the children to search around the volcano.
Tang Si turned back and found Qian Shi.
"Mother, look, doesn't this thing look somewhat similar to the things we grow at home?"
Mrs. Qian paused slightly upon hearing her youngest son's words.
She subconsciously looked at the clod of earth.
"They do look somewhat similar!" Qian said, breaking the thing open and confirming her suspicions upon seeing the flesh inside.
“Every time, it’s almost exactly the same as the fruit we grow at home!” Mrs. Qian said seriously.
"Mother, this thing might really be very useful!" Tang Si paused, then couldn't help but say.
Qian's expression also became more serious.
His son was undoubtedly right. If these things could produce so much fruit on the mountain, then the ones grown in their village would probably produce even more.
So it seems like this is actually a good thing!
This year has been a severe drought, and although this rain will make things much better for their village.
But what about the surrounding area?
The Qian family wasn't stupid; they had already heard quite a bit about it recently.
There is famine everywhere now!
"When you get back, talk to Xiao Su Bao about this and have her tell the Emperor and the others!"
After thinking it over, Ms. Qian decided to let Xiao Su Bao take the lead.
The people of Tangjia Village were already taken advantage of by the swindlers, so they can't take these benefits.
"Yes!" Tang Si nodded in agreement, a hint of gentleness in his eyes.
Just then, a figure suddenly appeared.
"Junior sister, look what I hunted!" Senior Brother Meteor ran over excitedly, carrying a roe deer in his hand.
"I remember you loved roasted venison when you were little. I'll roast some for you when we get back today!" Senior Brother Meteor said excitedly, stroking his bald head.
Qian's eyelids twitched slightly.
I really don't know what to say right now.
After all, so much time has passed since those things happened!
The white moonlight has long since faded!
Qian coughed lightly and said, "Senior brother, I don't like eating deer roe anymore!"
Senior Brother Meteor was slightly taken aback, scratched his head and said, "Then tell your third senior brother what you like to eat now? Your third senior brother will find it for you!"
"Whatever my mother wants to eat, I, as her son, will take care of it. Uncle-Master, there's no need for you to be so polite!"
Tang Qi walked over with a smile on his face.
His mother is really something; she only calls on me when something happens, but complains about me when nothing's wrong.
"Yes, my son will find it for me!"
As she spoke, Ms. Qian silently retreated to her son's side.
Seeing this, Senior Brother Meteor's smile faded slightly, and he became even more serious.
"Junior sister, I know you've had a tough time all these years. I just want to take care of you. I don't want to see you all alone!"
Senior Brother Meteor said solemnly, his eyes even carrying a strange light.
As if he had thought of something, he said, "Besides, you know I have no parents, no children, I'm all alone. Once we get married, I'll do the laundry, the housework, and I'll earn the money back!"
"Sanlang and Silang aren't married yet, are they? I'll save up some money and I'll definitely find them good wives!"
Senior Brother Meteor has been in love with the Qian family for many years.
If the Qian family and the second son of the Tang family hadn't left back then, these children might be the children of myself and my junior sister.
For his junior sister's sake, he has remained chaste all these years.
Little Su Bao wasn't standing far away to begin with, and upon hearing this, she instinctively turned her head to look over.
Finally, Xiao Su Bao's gaze fell on them.
"What's going on?" Fu Manduo stared wide-eyed at the Meteor Guard with curiosity.
Little Su Bao didn't rush to speak; instead, she looked to the other side.
Sure enough, at that moment, a figure rushed over like the wind.
Despite being extremely frail, he was incredibly determined.
"What are you thinking? Duoduo doesn't like you and won't be with you!" Tang Yu said coldly, looking much thinner.
He stood in front of Qian Shi, facing Liu Xing directly.
The Qian family...
She never got to enjoy all of this when she was young, but now she's getting to enjoy it...
but……
"Duoduo is mine. I will marry her as soon as I pass the imperial examination. You little yamen runner, don't even think about it!"
Tang Yu shouted like a rooster.
Qian's mouth twitched.
"Hehe, a weakling like you, Junior Sister doesn't like you. Junior Sister likes someone as brave as me!" As she spoke, she seemed to be provoking him, and Meteor even glanced at Tang Yu's lower body.
Tang Yu's face instantly turned bright red, and she looked quite unwell.
But the thought of the Qian family instantly energized him.
However, neither of them noticed that Qian's expression had become even more unpleasant.
Just as they were about to fight, Qian grabbed the bamboo pole that Tang Sanbao handed her.
He slashed hard at both of them.
"Ah! Junior sister, be gentle!"
"Ouch! Duoduo..."
The two looked at Qian, who was holding a bamboo pole, with a somewhat aggrieved expression in their eyes.
"Both of you get out of here! Tang Yu, I am your second sister-in-law, and that will never change!" Madam Qian looked at Tang Yu with an unusually serious expression.
"But, before you!" Tang Yu's face turned slightly pale, and her body trembled slightly.
"I did say that once before, but that was just to appease you. But are you even studying now? Brother, your future is brighter than mine, and besides, I really don't like you!"
Qian took a deep breath, her eyes filled with determination.
"And you, Third Senior Brother, I admit that I admired you when I was very young, but that was just admiration. After I married the father of my child, my heart and eyes were only for him!"
Thinking of her husband, Ms. Qian's smile brightened.
“But he’s dead!” Meteor couldn’t help but say.
"So what? In my heart, it's enough that he's alive!"
