Chapter 148 The feeling of powerlessness
Some time ago, they finally found out who was behind the resale of disaster relief grain, but they were ambushed on the way to catch the mastermind. They then realized that the so-called mastermind was fake.
The people who came to kill them were all assassins, faceless. When they first saw that group of assassins, they were stunned where they stood.
They had never seen this group of assassins before. Their swords were so fierce that even the experienced Lu Jiu almost got caught.
Yue Yuan was seriously injured in order to save them.
Later it was learned that this group of death warriors had their faces removed using a mysterious ancient magic, and were trained to be death warriors since childhood.
A life without face, existing only to kill.
sad.
"Uncle, after we finish this, can we go back to Lihua Village and stay for a while?"
Xiao Ci raised his head, with pleading in his eyes.
Lu Jiu raised his hand and touched Xiao Ci's head, then smiled gently and said, "We have been exposed under their noses. Meeting them will only harm them."
Why wouldn't he want to?
The sadness in Xiao Ci's eyes was about to overflow, and his eyes were filled with tears.
"I won't go see them. Can I just watch from afar?"
"Xiao Ci, don't let your emotions get involved in anything!"
Lu Jiu's tone was stern.
Xiao Ci was stunned, realizing that his request would harm the Yuan family and the entire Lihua Village. He instantly dismissed the idea that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.
"I see."
There was loneliness and sadness in his voice.
...........
All things are growing. In the mountains and in the fields, there are fresh wild vegetables growing everywhere, and they can grow for a long time.
The next morning, the Yuan, Shen, and Ye families went to the mountains together to pick wild mushrooms and vegetables.
When I went up the mountain, I saw that the wild mushrooms were really big, and there were also large pieces of wild vegetables, which were so juicy and delicious to look at.
Only a small bag of the dried wild mushrooms and wood ears were left to eat last year. Each wild mushroom was almost as big as a basket, and the wood ears were so big. The Yuan, Shen, and Ye families ran home excitedly and brought back more than a dozen baskets. After picking these, drying three or four of them and soaking them, they could make a big bowl of mushrooms.
Only a small bag of wild mushrooms and wood ear mushrooms left from last year's sun-dried meal.
The whole mountain was filled with people, all lying on the ground excitedly picking wild mushrooms and vegetables...
When Shen Chulan came back and saw the juicy wild mushrooms and wild vegetables, she immediately said that the town would serve these two new dishes.
Wild mushroom hotpot, the soup base is chicken soup, and various mushrooms are poured into the pot, which tastes delicious.
Wild vegetables can be eaten cold, made into dumplings, fried, stir-fried or stir-fried....
It tastes unique and delicious.
As soon as these were served, they were recognized by everyone.
Yaoyao ate four wild vegetable dumplings and a bowl of wild mushroom soup.
When Yaoyao's chubby hand was trying to stealthily touch the dumplings in Guoan's bowl, it was caught by Old Lady Liu. She pouted.
Losing weight is so painful!
She is not even one year old yet, why should she suffer like this?
The happier you were eating before, the more painful it is now.
Old Mrs. Liu pretended not to see it. She knew Yaoyao's temper best. The more you coax her, the more excited she becomes. She will not stop until she gets the food.
After dinner, everyone sat in the yard, looking at the stars, listening to the chirping of insects coming from the fields, and chatting happily.
Seeing that it was getting late, everyone went back to their rooms to sleep.
In the middle of the night, a furry head and a snake head with a small floral hat on top appeared on the window.
"Master, we've come to give you gifts!" The green snake's nasty voice echoed in Yaoyao's mind, "There are so many this time."
Yaoyao stretched, slowly turned over in bed, climbed to the window, held on to the windowsill and stood up with all her strength. Her whole body was shaking and she looked very tired.
“Why are there so many this time?”
A tuft of white hair had a sinister expression on his face. "Prefect Jiang found out that some gold, silver, and jewelry were missing from the warehouse. We were afraid that Prefect Jiang would move the gold, silver, and jewelry somewhere else, so we simply moved them all here."
What he was worried about was not that Governor Jiang would be moved to another place, but that the gold, silver and jewelry would be moved too far away and cause him to get exhausted.
Magistrate Jiang was already far away from Lihua Village. If he moved to an even farther place, they would arrest him.
It's like I know where the good things are, but I can't reach them.
Just in case and to make myself feel better, of course it would be better to move everything here!
Yaoyao patted their heads with her chubby hands, her big eyes narrowed into crescents, and dimples appeared on both sides of her chubby mouth, making her look soft and sticky.
A tuft of white hair and a green snake turned into starry eyes. The owner is so cute!
"Xiao Hei, help me put on my clothes." Yaoyao called Xiao Hei.
When Xiao Hei came out, he looked at the tuft of white hair and the green snake with disgust, and almost rolled his eyes out.
Humph, a shameless beast that is trying to steal its master's favor.
He put clothes on Yaoyao with a resentful look on his face, and walked out of the house with Yaoyao in his mouth.
When they arrived at the river, about a hundred weasels had already lined up and were waiting for Yaoyao to touch their heads.
Yaoyao touched the weasel's head with a smile, turned around and saw Xiaohei's aggrieved expression. She held Xiaohei's head with her two chubby hands and kissed him on the forehead.
Xiao Hei, whose tail was originally hanging down, suddenly raised it up high, and looked at the tuft of white hair and the green snake with his head held high.
A face full of showing off.
The tuft of white hair and the green snake looked at each other, a little speechless.
Yaoyao put all the gold, silver and jewelry into the space, but noticed a parchment scroll among the pile of gold, silver and jewelry. This aroused her curiosity, so she took out the parchment scroll and lay on the ground to unfold it.
"What is this?" The green snake came over.
A tuft of white hair also came over, "Hmm...it looks like a map."
