Chapter 45 Come with me
"Okay, our village will soon catch up with you. Let's talk about it when we get to the capital."
Ye Jingchen wanted to comfort her, but he didn't know how to comfort people, so he could only make small talk.
"Wait for me, don't run."
Wu Yuetang looked at the straw sandals on his feet. They were torn at several edges and she thought the soles were about to break. She remembered that there were shoes and clothes she bought for him in the space. After giving him some instructions, she ran away like the wind.
Ye Jingchen obediently sat down against the wooden stake. After a while, Wu Yuetang came back with something in her hand.
"Here, put this on quickly."
As he spoke, he handed over a pair of very thick cloth shoes with thickened soles, so they would not be easily worn out after long walks.
Ye Jingchen took over with a puzzled expression, and he looked at Wu Yuetang with questioning eyes.
"I also bought you a set of clothes, but you definitely can't take them out here. I'll give them to you when we get to the cave the day after tomorrow."
Wu Yuetang said this nonchalantly, and then handed him the oil-paper bag in her hand.
"This is the wolf meat jerky I made myself. This pack has spicy flavor, and this pack has the original flavor. Keep it for yourself and eat it secretly on the road. Don't let your family see you. I added fatigue-relieving powder and sugar to this water bag. Drink it up quickly to replenish your energy."
As he said that, he stuffed all the things he had brought into Ye Jingchen's arms.
Ye Jingchen opened the water bag and took a sip. It was sweet and delicious, with a hint of coolness. He immediately felt a lot more comfortable and no longer felt the heat of the summer.
"Where did you get this powder?"
"There used to be a clinic called Ren De Tang in town. The owner gave it to me when I went there to sell medicinal herbs."
Wu Yuetang closed her eyes and guessed blindly. After all, they were so far away, who could verify it?
Ye Jingchen frowned slightly when he heard the word Ren De Tang. It felt so familiar. Where on earth had he heard it before? He looked at Wu Yuetang again, but he still couldn't remember where he had heard of Ren De Tang before.
Seeing that he looked abnormal, Wu Yuetang reached out and touched his forehead to make sure he didn't have heatstroke, then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"To be honest, the Ye family doesn't treat you as a family member. You don't need to make yourself feel wronged. You can come to my house and ride in the carriage with us."
Ye Jingchen shook his head.
"If I leave now, you'll be gossiped about. I don't want that."
When Wu Yuetang heard Ye Jingchen say this, she burst out laughing.
"I've already beaten up a few people in my village who gossiped about me. Now, if anyone dares to say something bad about me, I'll beat them up."
Seeing her unreasonable thoughts, Ye Jingchen also slightly raised the corners of his mouth.
"I'm serious. There will be heavy rain starting the day after tomorrow, and it won't stop any time soon. The temperature will also drop sharply. If you continue to stay at the Ye family, they will force you to go out hunting for food during the rainy days. Not to mention letting you go into a cave or somewhere else to take shelter from the rain."
Ye Jingchen was a little surprised. He had noticed the temperature was going to change when he slept on the haystack these past few nights. He didn't expect that she also knew that the weather was going to change?
Even though it was said like this, Ye Jingchen still shook his head.
"No, I can't leave now, but at the rate we're going, we'll reach the foot of this mountain tomorrow night. I'll come find you the day after tomorrow morning before we set off."
"Why can't you come with me now?"
Wu Yuetang was puzzled. Is this guy a masochist? Why would he stay in the Ye family when his family is full of shameless people?
"If I leave now, people will definitely say we eloped. It will be bad for your reputation. You are not yet of age, and you will have to talk about marriage in the future."
"Elope? Who wants to elope with you?"
As she spoke, Wu Yuetang jumped back a long distance and looked at Ye Jingchen with a vigilant look.
The latter was speechless and kindly reminded.
"You just said in front of everyone that I am yours. What would happen if I left now?"
Hearing Ye Jingchen's reminder, Wu Yuetang was stunned. What? Did she just say that? Why didn't she remember it? It was over. She was addicted to arguing at that time. She got so angry that she said everything.
Seeing her reaction, Ye Jingchen's mouth almost stretched to his ears. He put on new cloth shoes and stood up.
"I'm going back first. See you the day after tomorrow morning."
Without waiting for Wu Yuetang to reply, Ye Jingchen put the empty water bag in her hand and left.
Uh, he just went back like that? Hiss, the God of War is really aloof.
Wu Yuetang also walked towards his own team and rested for a while in the carriage. Then the village chief began to call everyone to prepare to set off.
They successfully reached the top of the mountain in the evening. Every household found a flat place to build a resting place. Wu Yuetang also asked her third brother to light a fire and build a stove. She had to make some delicious food tonight, not only to send it to the Qi family, but also to Ye Jingchen's portion.
After all, I will have to rely on him to expand my business empire in the future.
I took out some beef brisket and some tomatoes from the space, and also took out some pork belly and cabbage. While preparing the dishes, I asked my sister-in-law to help cook rice.
At first, the sister-in-law refused to cook rice. She said she was satisfied with having beef and pork and there was no need to cook. But she couldn't persuade Wu Yuetang anymore, so she obediently washed the rice and cooked.
Cut the beef brisket into chunks, peel the roasted tomatoes and cut them into dices, cut the pork belly into thin slices, and cut the cabbage into slices at random.
Then, he followed the cooking steps and simmered the tomato beef brisket over low heat. In order to make it softer and more tender in a shorter cooking time, Wu Yuetang also took some tea leaves from the refrigerator in the space, put them into a gauze cooking bag, and threw it into the pot to stew together.
He also asked Wu Zhiyun to set up a small stove, and directly poured the pork belly slices and cabbage segments into the stove and stir-fried them. He also added some chili peppers for seasoning. When the dish was taken out of the pot, he sprinkled a circle of vinegar on the edge of the pot. The aroma was instantly stimulated, and the fragrance of the food floated all the way down the mountain road.
In addition to Dayao Village, the teams from Liuwan Village and the town following behind all smelled the fragrance, and there were constant exclamations and discussions.
After half an hour, the tomato beef brisket was also stewed. It was very soft and tender, with the unique sweet and sour taste of tomatoes. Wu Yuetang picked up a piece of beef brisket for himself.
"Mmm! That's the taste! It's amazing!"
Then he took out the tableware and divided the food into portions. He made sure to leave enough for his family, followed by the Qi family's portion and Ye Jingchen's portion.
After packing the food, he took a basket and filled it up, letting his family eat first. He then walked down the mountain road and turned a corner to deliver dinner to Qi Yu.
Before he could even hear Qi Yu's praise, he immediately turned around and went to look for Ye Jingchen.
When we arrived at the resting place in Liuwan Village and found where the Ye family lived, we saw that everyone except Ye Jingchen had built a simple shed with rags, and only Ye Jingchen was sleeping on a haystack.
Wu Yuetang snorted in her heart when she saw this. It seemed that he would not be given anything to eat in the evening. She picked up a small stone on the ground and threw it at Ye Jingchen. However, she did not expect that Ye Jingchen, who had his eyes closed to rest, actually caught the small stone with his bare hands.
What's going on? Is this an instinctive reaction, or has he just remembered something? Has his memory returned?
