Chapter 028: Taking her as the wife of the leader
Soon, with the sound of gongs, the circus troupe finished their work, and the surrounding villagers gave them warm cheers and applause.
At this time, a man who looked like the owner of the group came out and bowed with a smile: "When you are away from home, the more friends you make, the more paths you will take. As the saying goes, those who are destined to meet will meet each other even if they are thousands of miles apart. It is fate that we have come to Qingyuan Village today. Seeing that it is getting late, I wonder if you can stay in your village for one night..."
The village head, Zhao De, came out and said, "Master and all the masters, thank you for your hard work. I am the village head of Qingyuan Village. If you don't mind, please come to my house to rest and have a meal."
When the class owner heard it was the village head, his eyes flashed, and he walked up to him warmly to chat and thank him...
Soon, the circus troupe gathered their things and headed towards the headman's house.
The villagers gradually dispersed and walked back while enthusiastically discussing the wonderful acrobatics that had just taken place.
Dong Chunhua supported her son Shen Qingsong. Even though Shen Qingsong's broken ribs had healed long ago, Dong Chunhua was still cautious and didn't want him to do any work.
Someone nearby mentioned that Chen Ning was invited by the village head to cook for the acrobatic troupe, and asked her to show off her cooking skills. Dong Chunhua immediately spat.
"She just likes to hang out with men, like she's never seen a man before. She's so shameless."
As she was speaking, she saw Fan Ru walking by with Li Yushi's support. Dong Chunhua snorted and laughed, "Sister-in-law Fan is indeed very discerning. She actually let that young widow walk away. She worked as a maid for your family for two years for nothing."
Fan Ru frowned immediately: "What nonsense! It's just a neighbor visiting. She has nothing to do with my family. If you keep talking nonsense, watch your tongue!"
After saying that, Fan Ru snorted coldly and quickly walked away with Li Yushi.
Dong Chunhua cursed again, "Bah! You haven't even passed the exam yet, but you're already acting like a juren master and his mother. Aren't you afraid of the embarrassment you'll suffer if you don't pass?"
On the other side, Shen Ning packed up and prepared to go to the headman's house.
Before leaving, she first took Xiao Nanchen to Lian'er's house next door: "Sister Lian, please keep an eye on Anan. He won't run around. Just don't let him go out."
Chen Ning had already told Lian'er and his wife that the acrobatic troupe was a bandit. Under the arrangement of the village head, Zhao Tong and several other young people were passing the message from house to house in the village.
This was a plan devised by Chen Ning and the village head. They were worried that the noise would be too loud and would alert the bandits, prompting them to attack directly... Their heavy boxes must contain sharp weapons, and by then the villagers would be in chaos and would be hacked to death.
By passing on information and making arrangements one by one, we can delay some time.
Why didn't they organize the villagers to flee? First, the family's annual food rations had just been collected and were lying in the house. It was impossible to escape with the food without alerting the bandits.
It was not realistic for everyone to gather together. The bandits were obviously well prepared. Most of them went into the headman's house to eat, and there were seven or eight people sitting outside saying they were packing their luggage, but they were actually staring at the villagers.
They can only proceed with caution.
Chen Ning and the village head's plan was: several families living nearby would quietly gather together to protect their own food supplies and work together to resist the bandits.
The number of those bandits is limited, and in order to accomplish their mission as quickly as possible, they will definitely disperse... If Shen Ning succeeds in drugging, there will be even fewer people left.
The villagers will also have more hope.
Chen Ning and Zhao Tong's homes are next door, and she is going to drug most of the bandits. The village head's home is too dangerous and she can't take my king with her. Zhao Tong and Lian'er patted their chests and promised to take good care of Xiao Nanchen.
Seeing Shen Ning instructing Zhao Tong and his wife to take care of him, Xiao Nanchen's eyes were complicated.
This woman is really brave... Knowing that the large group of men were bandits and were carrying sharp weapons, she actually dared to drug them.
Once she is discovered, she will lose several lives.
Shen Ning had no choice but to make this choice.
Firstly, she didn't know if there was an ambush behind these bandits. Secondly, even if she could sneak away with Xiao Nanchen, what about the others?
Not to mention those things that don’t matter whether they live or die, Chun Ge’er from Lian’er’s family is only three months old. The little baby is white and tender and smiles when he sees her. She wants to save him.
The three children of the headman's family called her Aunt Ning every time they saw her, and she didn't want them to die at the hands of bandits.
Even though they loved to gossip, the aunts who helped her clean the kitchen and yard so thoroughly during Zhao Mu's funeral didn't deserve to die...
The village head, who never thought of taking his family away after knowing that those people were bandits, is also worthy of respect.
So, even though she knew the danger, she was willing to try it.
This world was inherently full of dangers. She should cherish her chance to live again, but she couldn't become timid and cowardly just because she wanted to live...
"Anan, remember, you must obey me today. You stay in Sister Lian's house and are not allowed to run outside. Do you understand?"
Shen Ning looked serious.
Xiao Nanchen hummed vaguely.
"good."
Shen Ning patted him, turned around and walked out of the yard.
When we arrived at the village head's house, his wife and daughter-in-law were already preparing the ingredients.
Worried that his wife and daughter-in-law might be timid and do something bad, the village head did not tell them the truth. The two of them were unaware of the situation and were busy. When they saw Shen Ning, they smiled and greeted her: "I'm going to trouble you today, Ning Ning."
"Auntie, you're welcome."
Shen Ning rolled up her sleeves and began to prepare a final meal for the bandits.
In the yard, the village head and the bandits sat together. There was homemade wine on the table. The bandits didn't drink it at first, but when they saw the village head pour out the wine from a jar and drink several bowls himself, they started to pick up the wine bowls.
After a long while, the bandits finally felt relieved. At this time, the rich aroma of food wafted from the kitchen.
The bandits immediately looked over there with their noses sniffing. A moment later, Shen Ning and the headman's daughter-in-law came out with food.
The headman's daughter-in-law was a shy girl. When she saw this large group of men, she looked away shyly and uncomfortably, put down the plates and hurried back into the kitchen.
A bandit's eyes almost turned green when he saw the shy look of the young wife and her round waist and hips from childbirth.
When he starts cooking later, he will definitely let his young wife taste it... How come this dish is so delicious?
The exceptionally tall man in the lead stared at Chen Ning without blinking, his gaze so direct that it was frightening.
Shen Ning resisted the urge to dig out those eyeballs, tried to act timid, and followed the headman's daughter-in-law to the kitchen.
The bandit leader Xiao Shanbao took a big gulp of wine and then looked away.
These dishes were all made by this little woman, she looks good and has good cooking skills...
Tonight, I will take her to Heiyun Village and make her my wife!
