Chapter 86 - Urgent Report
Nangong Yue and Nangong Xin had been running for a while when they suddenly heard the sound of barking dogs, crying children and scolding adults not far away.
"Meimei, there must be bad people bullying children!" Nangong Xin's handsome face was tense, "Let's go and fight the bad guys." Saying he runned and tried to rush forward.
"Brother." Nangong Yue hurriedly pulled Nangong Xin and whispered in his ear, "You can't do this, we should sneak up on them and detect the enemy."
"You're right, meimei, I'll listen to you." Nangong Xin also whispered in her ear.
In this way, the two siblings walked quietly, holding hands, and then hid behind a large willow tree, cautiously peeking out halfway.
In a vacant lot in front, a young girl of six or seven years old was clinging to a large black dog with an injured front leg. The large black dog was tall, with long, thin limbs, almost as big as the young girl, but its body was very dry and thin, obviously malnourished due to lack of three meals.
Three Pozies were surrounding the little girl and the big black dog.
The little girl's eyes were red as she shouted, "Don't kill Hei! He is my good friend, he is only too hungry to steal the chicken."
"Hmph! Guihua, we've been kind enough to let this filthy dog roam the village!" A white-faced woman said, "How dare it steal my chickens! I'll kill it today and cook a pot of dog meat soup!"
"But ......"
Guihua wanted to speak for the big black dog, but was immediately interrupted by a round-faced woman: "Guihua, if you really want to stand up for this dead dog, just pay for the chicken for it ......"
"I ...... I ......" Guihua showed a face of embarrassment.
Another tall, thin woman said impatiently, "Well, why talk to this little girl! You know she eats off her stepmother's face, where can she afford to pay for a chicken!"
"Guihua, get out of the way! Otherwise, it would be bad if I hurt you by mistake." The white-faced woman raised the wooden stick in her hand and aimed it at the big black dog, trying to hit it.
Nangong Yue clearly saw a long nail passing through the end of the stick, shining brightly in the sunlight, but it sent a chill down her spine.
In her previous life, Nangong Yue had also heard people say that some people would use this method to catch dogs in order to eat dog meat, and with a skilled technique, a stick would go down and the nail would be stuck right in the dog's head, and the dog would immediately fall to the ground. I never thought I would see someone using this technique today.
Guihua hugged the big black dog tightly and shook her head, "No!"
The big black dog probably also understood that its life was threatened, so it grinned at the women and barked with sharp teeth.
The pointy-faced woman waved her stick twice and threatened, "Guihua, if you don't get out of the way, I won't be responsible if you get hurt."
No sooner had she finished speaking than she saw a stone fly past like a meteor and hit the back of her head with a "thud".
"Ouch!" The sharp-faced woman cried out in pain and looked around in anger, "Who? Who did that?!" With that, she turned her suspicious gaze to the other two Pozies.
The two Pozies waved their hands and said in unison, "It wasn't me, it wasn't me." Then the tall woman pointed to a direction and said, "I think I saw stones flying out from that direction."
The sharp-faced woman looked over and saw the corner of a green dress behind a large, upright willow tree, which appeared to be shaken by a figure, and shouted angrily:"Who, sneaky, do not go away ......"
Before the words left her mouth, she saw a green figure emerge from behind the willow tree, followed by countless stones flying towards the three women like a scattering of flowers from the sky.
The three women dodged left and right, but several of them still hit their bodies, especially the sharp-faced woman, who was the most hit.
"Haha, I've hit it, I've hit it." Nangong Xin was a child at heart and was very excited.
At this moment, Nangong Yue also came out from behind the willow tree, with a smile on her face as she watched her brother's childish actions.
"You are ......" the sharp-faced woman looked at the two persons in front of her in disbelief.
The young man was handsome and fair, with a simple smile on his face, but he acted and behaved like a child.
The young woman was dressed in a soft green dress, which made her skin as white as a water onion.
At that moment, a group of maids finally came over.
Huang Hua rushed up to Nangong Xin and Nangong Yue in a flash, her arms crossed, and rushed at the pointy-faced maid with a furious rebuke: "You're blind, how dare you raise your stick against the second young master and the Third Young Miss!" Huang Hua had been in the house for almost two months and was already a different person than before, no longer the yellow-faced, skinny country maid Huang Hua.
Nangong Yue glanced at Huang Hua, her heart was still a little satisfied with this girl, this girl can work, it seems that she did not pick the wrong person.
The pointy-faced woman then realized that the wooden stick she was holding was still held high, and the stance looked to outsiders as if she was about to make a move on the young girl.
The young man and girl in front of them must have come from wealthy families just by looking at their clothes, and when they thought that several masters had come to the farm today, they were so scared that their souls would fly. If they were really accused of bullying their masters, a beating would be light, but what they feared more was ......
The same is true for the round-faced woman and the tall woman who also thought of this and looked terrified.
The three Pozies knelt down with a thud, kowtowing and begging for mercy: "Young master, Young Miss calm down, slave servant is guilty, slave servant is guilty, alarmed the master."
"Sister ......" Nangong Xin saw the three maids kneeling and kowtowing, suddenly at a loss for words, his heart was torn: bad people so quickly admit defeat, then still beat ah!
"All right, stop kowtowing, get up." Nangong Yue said indifferently, and then looked at the little girl Guihua, "Your dog stole someone's chicken?"
"Ah Hei is not my dog." Guihua shook her head with tears in her eyes and said childishly, "He's my friend."
"Huang Hua." Nangong Yue gave a wink, and Huang Hua immediately understood, taking out a piece of broken silver and giving it to the sharp-faced woman: "My Young Miss pays for the chicken this dog took."
"Thank you! Thank you!" Guihua's eyes glowed with light and she thanked her repeatedly.
The pointy-faced woman didn't dare to take it, and was about to refuse, when she heard an elegant female voice say, "Take it. If you do, don't make things difficult for the dog again."
At that moment, Lin Shi arrived late and coincidentally overheard them, standing a short distance away and smiling at her children.
The three Pozies had not long risen, but when they saw another elegant lady coming, they immediately fell to the ground with weak legs, "Greetings, Madam."
The pointy-faced woman said, "Of course, the servant won't make things difficult for the dog." In her heart, she felt that the dog had really gotten lucky.
Lin Shi said indifferently, "Get up."
After this little interlude, one of the maids from the farm house came to report that the Second Master had just caught two fish and had returned.
" Good, mother just said she would cook the food herself." Nangong Xin smiled and applauded, "Mother, sister, let's go back."
"Good!"
Lin Shi and Nangong Yue naturally agreed.
The three of them went back to the farmhouse and met with Nangong Mu. Lin Shi's cooking skills were on full display this evening. She cooked a large table of good dishes for her husband and children: scalding mustard green in soy sauce (sauteed kale), Buddha jumping wall, Pickled Cabbage Fish Soup, West Lake Fish with Vinegar...... Although they were only home-cooked dishes, they made Nangong Yue and the others salivate.
The family of four dismissed the servants who were serving the dishes, and Nangong Mu greeted the children with a smile: "Xin Ge Er, Yue Jie Er, sit down quickly and try your mother's cooking." Lin Shi smiled faintly at the side.
Nangong Xin gave a cheerful cry and sat down, eagerly taking a bite of the pickled fish.
Lin Shi reminded her, "Eat slowly, be careful of the fish thorns."
Nangong Yue scooped another spoonful of the soup of the Buddha jumping wall into her mouth, her eyes gradually moistened up. The family of four sitting happily together in front of her eating as if they were in a dream ...... gave her a feeling as if it was not real.
"Yue Jie Er, what's wrong? Are you scaling yourself?" Lin Shi looked at Nangong Yue worriedly, thinking that her daughter's eyes seemed red.
"No, no." Nangong Yue calmed down and smiled charmingly, "I just didn't expect to be a little spicy."
"It turns out that my sister is afraid of spicy food." Nangong Xin teased, and also took a bite of pickled fish and smiled contentedly, "It's spicy, but spicy is delicious."
"Yes, spicy is good. Mother's cooking is really delicious." Nangong Yue looked at Lin Shi with a serious face and said, "Mother must live a long life and cook delicious food for me and brother for the rest of our lives."
"Good, good." Lin Shi replied with a smile.
"Your mother is my Wife, she can only cook delicious food for me for the rest of our lives, as for you guys, One should wait for a wife, let your wife cook delicious food for you for the rest of your lives." He pointed to Nangong Xin, and pointed to Nangong Yue, "As for Yue Jie Er well ......" he thought of something, a frown, seems to be some reluctance, "Yue Jie Er or forever stay at home ......"
Lin Shi's eyes twinkled and she glanced at her husband: "The child is still young, what nonsense are you talking about!"
"Fine, no more, no more." Nangong Mu took a chopstick of food for Lin, "Eat vegetables, eat vegetables."
Nangong Yue looked at her parents, who were giving each other food, and at her brother, who was eating happily, and secretly resolved that she would work harder and be more careful to keep this hard-earned happiness!
After dinner, Nangong Xin clamored for fishing: "Father, sister, let's go fishing together."
Nangong Yue nodded, followed by her brother and looked at Nangong Mu with bated breath: "Father."
Nangong Mu looked at the deer-like wet eyes of his sons and daughters and instantly surrendered: "Okay, okay, daddy will take you there."
As soon as the words left his mouth, an urgent voice came from the courtyard door: "Second Master!"
Nangong Yue followed the sound and saw a 17 or 18 year old boy dressed in brown cloth coming in a hurry.
After bowing to the three masters, the boy hurriedly reported, "Second Master, First young master is here, saying it's urgent!"
